The Olympics have come and gone but the memories will indeed linger...if only for a while. I didn't quite envisage the atmosphere it created all over the country and just the sheer delight of seeing records broken, new champions emerge and some sports gaining national and global attention erased all doubts about the success of the games.
I believe that as much as the Games portrayed the UK's sense of preparedness and excellence, it also served as a pointer of impending spiritual renewal and awakening within the nation. The Opening Ceremony captured essentially spiritual snippets of revival even though the christian heritage of the nation was downplayed to almost a hush.
Hosting the Games, in my personal opinion, was quite significant not for the economic and political benefits but the spiritual overhaul of post-modern Britain. Being the 30th Olympiad, it prophetically implied that the UK is 'mature/ripe' for an awakening. 30 is a significant biblical number, many people seemed to come into their own at 30. The Bible is replete with examples ranging from Joseph to Our Lord Jesus Christ. I also read somewhere that it is a number that signifies dedication (noun as against a verb). Great Britain has been symbolically dedicated to the Lord for His purposes and plans.
As each nation marched into the stadium with their flags and donning a colourful array of matching sportswear and cultural attires, there was a young person right in front of each country, each carrying a little torch. I think this is important to note because Great Britain is already of hub of diverse cultures and people from all over the world, however those whom the Lord will co-labour with to reignite the spark will be those who 'receive the Kingdom like children' - those with child-like faith! Those who are not 'carrying the flags' or are being 'cheered by the crowd' but those who humbly believe in the finished work of Christ and are ready to carry their torch without attracting undue attention to themselves.
The Cauldron was a magnificent work of art and highly prophetic! Not only will those with child-like faith carry their torches, they will be willing to lay them down for a greater fire!!! They will be willing to network with others of like minds to create a huge fireball that will spread all over the nation. The greater fire of God's Glory is coming and it is HERE!
It's interesting how the bell rang IMMEDIATELY the Cauldron was lighted. Bells are indicative of time and I feel the bell signified that it is TIME for the Gloryfires to hit the UK like never before..
Back to the Cauldron, the commentator at the Closing ceremony actually said 7 kids lighted the torch at the Opening ceremony. 7 is a number for completeness and Divine perfection. This huge fireball of God's Glory will not be tainted by the flesh as in revivals of old, it will be initiated and sustained by the Father Himself. Remember Elijah's fire on Mount Carmel? it was heaven-sent but this time around,the fire is not for destruction but for 'reconstruction'.
Wedged between the Games hosted by an Emergent economy (Beijing) and an Emerging economy (Rio), I foresee a surge in the economic fortunes of the UK. I see a prosperity that will be widespread and culminating in 2015; it will be a prosperity of a different sort, it will be a 'prosperity of the masses'. Because of the Glory of God pervading the atmosphere, transformation will become common place and the general standard of living will upscale as a result. Isaiah 60 shows that the Glory of God attracts Gold (best resources) for transformation purposes.
Enough said, I'll allow for your blessed minds to receive this information and then to process and digest it.
