The Sign of the Giant Squid Wrapped Around the Fish

I was resting and the Lord reminded me of the story sent by Glywn this week from
New Zealand about fishermen catching the biggest giant squid ever caught, and they
emphasized it being a male of the species, never before seen. Also it was wrapped around
a fish - gobbling on it. Now you have to imagine this as this thing is HUGE.
February 22, 2007—In Antarctica's Ross Sea, a fishing boat has caught what is likely the world's biggest known colossal squid (yes, that's the species' name), New Zealand officials announced today. Heavier than even giant squid, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) have eyes as wide as dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of their suckers. The new specimen weighs in at an estimated 990 pounds (450 kilograms). The sea monster had become entangled while feeding on Patagonian toothfish (toothfish photos) caught on long lines of hooks. The crew then maneuvered the squid into a net and painstakingly hauled it aboard—a two-hour process.
The Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is a large fish found in the cold, temperate waters (from 50 to 3850m) of the Southern Atlantic, Southern Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans on seamounts and continental shelves around most sub-Antarctic islands. A commercial fishery exists for Patagonian Toothfish; the meat is sold under the trade names Chilean Sea Bass in the USA, Merluza Negra in Argentina and Uruguay, and mero in Japan, and high prices are paid for it. The average weight of a commercially caught toothfish is 9-10 kilograms (20 pounds) with large adults occasionally exceeding 200 kilograms (440 pounds). They are thought to live to fifty years, reaching a length of 2.3 metres (8 feet).
I was thinking on this as I rested when I felt the Lord’s tug, and that He wanted to say something about this. Now in symbolism, an octopus-type spirit represents jezebel…so I thought, and wondered if the squid represented a type of antichrist spirit, and what God would say. The fishermen caught this thing, and it lost it’s prey. Both seem significant.
Also that it’s suckers have hooks.
“ Many fish in this hour have been bound by satan’s tactics and lies. The antichrist spirit has pummeled many of the young and it thinks it has the “upper hand” so to speak. But I am not a man that I should lie nor a son of man that I should change My mind. I AM calling out LIBERTY to those caught in bondage and deceit, and I am bringing the freedom, breaking the chains of doubt and unbelief over many fish swimming in the vast seas of the earth.
I will apprehend this generation with signs and wonders as never before. I am not weak and impotent as even many of My own think. I am ALMIGHTY GOD, and NOTHING is too much for ME to handle. I have a plan, a good plan, and an awesome plan. I know that it SEEMS like the enemy has the advantage, but that is about to change. I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE what is in MY WORD beloveds and to speak it, and declare it to the heavenlies and to those in the earth and under the earth. MY WORD is true. It is correct that antichrist is arising, but so is MY GLORY arising upon YOU beloveds !
Recognize this is a time of NEW BEGINNINGS and change your expectations. It’s true there will be peril and hardships, but MY POWER will be poured out as never before. REMEMBER that the priests had ME as their inheritance. I AM YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD. MANY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP LUXURIES, AND CONVENIENCES TO HAVE THE GLORY THEY WANT. But I told you to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth where moth and rust decay. I want you to live simply as you can and to no longer hold on to the things you can hold in your hand, but to TRUST FULLY in ME and MY ability to provide all that you NEED. The age of having all that you WANT is fading. This is a new season. What you receive from me now will be for the building of MY KINGDOM, not mans.
Many of you will be asked to give up homes, and many will receive homes, because your heart has been right and you would take in the homeless, the abandoned, the orphans or widows and care for them. Many will hide My people in times of duress, for anti-semitism is arising on the wings of antichrist. So consider what you hold in your hearts, for where your treasure is, there is your heart. What will you choose, beloveds ? Your conveniences and wealth, or MY KINGDOM ? Many have lived as if I never said that My Kingdom was defined by a narrow road, not the wide. I said FEW find it. FEW FIND IT because they are not willing to give up anything. They are not willing to give up belongings, or conveniences like the rich young man who came to My Son asking what he could do to gain salvation. He was told to sell all he had and to follow HIM, but he was too fond of things. It’s not that many can have things, it is the condition of your heart in having them, or they having you. There is a difference. I did come to give you life and to give it ABUNDANTLY.
But it is to be used as I DIRECT and say. You must learn to love enough to give up something. I gave up My only Begotten SON, yet many of you wouldn’t think to give up anything for the sake of giving to another. My church in America has grown fat and heavy with covetousness and greed, but I AM COMING TO YOU WITH FIRE, AND WITH WIND, AND WITH WAVES OF MY GLORY THAT WILL BLOW AWAY ALL THAT IS NOT OF ME.
GET READY BELOVEDS, for I have tested many and found them wanting. Let not your heart be like Esau’s or Saul’s. Do not hold on to this world for anyone who is a friend of the world is an enemy of Mine.”
