On the morning of April 19, 2022, Ruben called and shared what he was shown in a vision on the morning of the 18th. The following is what he saw:
Ruben: "I was shown a torch, like the athletes carry at the Olympics. But from the top of the torch where the fire was, water was also coming forth, but it only went as far down as the wrist of the one carrying it. Not one drop fell to the ground.
"I was shown there will be twenty (20) prophets who will receive and carry this torch. I saw them all lining up to take part in carrying the torch for this season. A season of a higher level with Fire and Water.
This is the Scripture and interpretation that was given to him:
“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; Listen, O earth, to the words of My mouth. My doctrine shall drop as rain, and distill as the dew. Small rain upon the herbs of the field and showers upon the grass:” Deuteronomy 32:1-2.
"The Word of God that is the prophetic word is described as rain and dew falling into the life of the believer. When the prophetic word falls into the life of the believer, or the prophet, and the prophet speaks the word that has fallen into his life like rain and dew, that word will not fall to the ground, but it will come to pass. That word from God will not fail; that's what it means for it to fall to the ground. But since it will not fall to the ground, that word which the prophet speaks from God will find it's fulfillment."

* The Olympic runners that carry the torch are selected and given a great honor-- so it is with us to be given the honor of carrying the mantel (responsibilities the Lord has given us). He wants us to run with what we have been given to carry. (With endurance-- run the race well- press on--Phil 3v14)
* The Olympic runner with the torch is the kick off to the main Olympic events--
Is this possibly a parallel to John the Baptizer who was a kick off per say to the entry of Jesus coming? The preparer of the way who cleared the way by leading the people in the cleansing of repentance, through the forgiveness of their sins. ( Repent and turn to God for the kingdom of Heaven is near--Matt 3v2, Luke 1v76-79)
*The Olympics being a symbol of a season or new chapter we will be stepping into that will last a while and end when God is ready for the next season to start. ( for everything there is a season-- Eccles 3v1)
*The water and fire in the torch-- baptism of the Holy Spirit or maybe the sanctification of repentance being carried to the nations?
* Torch can also be the light of the world, life, grace, mercy, forgiveness-- all the gifts from heaven not for us to keep but to share.
* Water running down on the runners hand to the wrist-- the runner himself will be cleansed / purified/ or refreshed himself first being made pure and right before the Lord. Worthy and humbled to carry this message of repentance to others.
* Not a drop lost on the ground-- runner fully cherishing everything the Lord is doing in his own life. The cleansing, purifying etc.
* If this is indeed a type of John that would also open the door for this to be a type of Elijah as well. (John had the Power and Spirit of Elijah-- Luke 1v17)
* Luke 1v17 also talks about turning the hearts of the Fathers to their children which is a quote out of the book of Malachi 4v 5-6(the last book before the entry of the New Testament)-- the last thing God had to say before He sent in John who cleared the way for Jesus.
*If this runner is indeed a type of John, who is a type of Elijah they both were only on the scene a short time to do some major work in the kingdom. A few chapter blip in the pages of the Bible for each of them to complete their remarkable missions. ( Elijah- 1 Kings 18- 2Kings 2, John ending somewhere in the beginning of Jesus ministry)
*Both has a major adversary-- Jezebel and Herodias
