The Lord spoke to me Vermillion.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Isaiah 57:15 NKJV For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
God has put eternity in the hearts of all mankind. The Chinese language is partly based on biblical things. There is a site you can look at to see that. http://www.dare2design.nl/genesissite/genesis.php?item=chinese_intro . God also had someone give me some books and among them was a tiny book from a missionary who was in Peking [ now Bejing ] and in that city was a temple, I believe it was called the blue temple. And inside it was an altar to the one and only God. There is some controversy about the language origins of the Genesis site on some other pages saying it is not correct interpretation, but skeptics abound in the cyber world.
“ My blood paid for the sins of the WHOLE WORLD, not just for yours, not just for those who already know Me, but for those who are yet to come to know Me. There is nothing I cannot do. There is no one I cannot save. As the violence increases, do not think in terms of retaliation and rage. I have taught you to love your enemies, and to pray for those who spitefully use you. I did also say, be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Wisdom is to get MY opinion before you make yours.
The news confirms My time table, so you are not to go ignorant, but know that I can let you know what’s going on without you’re watching the news, if you will just spend time with Me, waiting on Me. I am looking for those who WANT INTIMACY with ME. I want to pour out My Spirit. I have all power in heaven and earth and under the earth, so nothing is impossible for me.
I can convert the muslim as easy as the pagan who thinks Lucifer is god. But I AM AN EXPERIENCE. That is why I send you out to make disciples of men. PREACH the Good NEWS and I will follow it with signs and wonders. Unless the water is poured out, it does not become wine. You pour out what I have given to you, and I will increase it as you use it more. Each day ask MY WILL for your life that day. Is there someone I can touch today LORD ? you may ask. Maybe not that day, maybe another day. But if you ASK you will receive all you need to go forth. Do NOT be afraid of their faces. ONLY GO WHEN AND WHERE I TELL YOU TO GO. Do not move in presumption in this hour beloveds. Do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample you and grind you to dust. I will show you who to approach.
As you REACH OUT YOUR ARMS in LOVE, I will meet you in that place and pour out faith and power through you. I AM the VINE, you are the branches. Every branch who does not bear fruit, is cut off and trimmed so it can bear good fruit. Sow in tears and you will reap in JOY. Pray for those around you and watch what I do. STAND in the gap for them, bearing their burden with them, and I will come through. If any two agree as touching anything, IT WILL BE DONE, I said. BELIEVE and you will receive.
I WILL make your JOY complete as the days unfold before you. MUCH tribulation is at hand, but I AM WITH YOU, FIGHTING ALONG SIDE YOU. YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE. There are armies you can’t see fighting with you, awaiting your prayers, waiting for the orders to act. BELIEVE and RECEIVE. The page has been turned, and there is no turning back now. Time is in acceleration. LOOK TO ME, THE AUTHOR and the FINISHER of your faith. KEEP YOUR EYES ON HOW GREAT I AM. I AM THE ALMIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL. I AM EMMANUEL, God with you. I AM the All SUFFICIENT ONE. There is nothing I cannot do. BELIEVE and RECEIVE.
Unbelief is STRONG and being pervaded in all the media, but I will reverse that.
As MY SPIRIT is poured out, there will be a change in the news. Many mockers will be turned to believers. Your sons and daughters who have not believed you, and not believed fully in ME, will turn and BOW BEFORE ME. I WILL CHANGE THEIR HEARTS when they see what I do in YOU !!! So draw into ME, come away with ME. Be intimate with ME beloved, for I am drawing you closer to My heart, that you may be fully healed and delivered, and empowered with My GLORY !
Now I call on you whom I’ve given a heart for CHINA, that nation with the red flag of vermillion. I WILL CALL THOSE FROM SINON I SAID, and I AM CALLING TO THEM NOW. I ask you to pray for them. They represent 1/6th also of the world’s population and I am calling you to PRAY for their leaders, the women and children, the men and boys. Pray down the latter rain to INCREASE, for thousands are coming weekly, but more will come as you answer My call to pray. DANCE on the injustice done to your brothers and sisters there. Many have suffered greatly at the hands of tyrants. LOVE them as you love yourself.
Cry out for that nation to arise to it’s calling, and cry out for THIS NATION to ARISE to IT’S CALLING as well.
Pray for REVERSALS in this nation. REPENT for the sins YOU KNOW OF. REPENT FOR THE DAMAGE THIS NATION has done to other nations. REPENT OF THE PRIDE of this nation. HUMBLE YOURSELVES and pray for an explosion in your government of the MOST HOLY SPIRIT. PRAY HE will enter into the secret places, the secret meetings, the public meetings, the House, the Senate in each state, the JUSTICE system. PRAY FOR AN EXPLOSION OF MY SPIRIT IN MY PEOPLE. CRY OUT FOR THEIR EYES TO BE OPENED ! CRY OUT and SHOUT ALOUD TO THE ROCK OF YOUR SALVATION ! For I am not deaf or dumb as some think. I AM NOT like statues made of wood and stone. I WILL HAVE MY WAY IN MY PEOPLE !”

Vermilion, sometimes spelled vermillion, when found naturally-occurring, is an opaque orangish red pigment, used since antiquity, originally derived from the powdered mineral cinnabar. Chemically, the pigment is mercuric sulfide, HgS, and like all mercury compounds it is toxic. Its name is derived from the French vermeil which was used to mean any red dye, and which itself comes from vermiculum, a red dye made from the insect Kermes vermilio.[1] The words for the color red in Portuguese (vermelho) and Catalan (vermell) derive from this term. Today, vermilion is most commonly artificially produced by reacting mercury with molten sulfur. Most naturally produced vermilion comes from cinnabar mined in China, giving rise to its alternative name of China red.
There is evidence of the use of cinnabar pigment in India and China since prehistory. It was known to the Romans as minium and was their most valuable pigment, being used to colour the faces of triumphant generals in imitation of the vermilion visage of the image of Jupiter Capitolinus in the Temple on the Capitoline Hill where the triumphant processions would conclude; Pliny the Elder records that it became so expensive that the price had to be fixed by the Roman government at 70 sesterces per pound[2], ten times more expensive than red ochre, due to the rarity of sources of pure cinnabar.
The synthesis of vermilion from mercury and sulfur may have been invented by the Chinese; the earliest known description of the process dates from the 8th century.
The synthetically-produced pigment was used throughout Europe from the 12th century, mostly for illuminated manuscripts, although it remained prohibitively expensive, often costing as much as gilding, until the 14th century when the technique for synthesizing vermilion became more widely known in Europe. Synthetic vermilion was regarded early on as superior to the pigment derived from natural cinnabar. In the Dutch method of manufacturing vermilion used from the 17th century, which was a modified version of the Chinese method, mercury and melted sulfur were mashed together to make black mercury sulfide, which was heated in a retort. This caused it to give off vapor which condensed as the bright red crystalline form of mercury sulphide, which was then scraped off and treated with a strong alkali solution to remove sulfur, then washed and ground under water.[4]
The names "cinnabar" and "vermilion" were used interchangeably to describe either the natural or manufactured pigment until the 17th century when vermilion became the more common name. By the late 18th century the name cinnabar was applied only to the unground natural mineral. "Chinese vermilion" was described in 1835 as a cinnabar so pure that it only had to be ground into powder to become a perfect vermilion.
Chinese vermilion was considered of a more crimson tone than the vermilion manufactured in Europe from less pure cinnabar. European vermilion of the time was often cut with various materials due to its high cost; adulterants included brick dust, orpiment, iron oxide, Persian red, iodine scarlet, and red lead, an inexpensive bright lead oxide pigment that was too reactive to be trustworthy enough for use in art.[2]
Modern day
Vermilion has largely been replaced in painting by the pigment cadmium red, a pigment that is less reactive due to the replacement of mercury with cadmium, especially in certain applications such as watercolors. The last mainstream commercial source in watercolors was from the Belgian artist's materials company Blockx, although the pigment can still be obtained in oils, where it is considered more stable. Unlike mercuric sulfide, cadmium sulfide is available in a large range of warm hues, including hues obtained by the addition of selenium or zinc. The range is from lemon yellow to a dull deep red, sometimes referred to as "cadmium purple".
Vermilion is also the name of the typical color of the natural ground pigment, which is a bright red tinged with orange. It is somewhat similar to the color scarlet. Vermilion is not on the color wheel since the color is mixed with a slight amount of grey. As with cadmium sulfide, mercuric sulfide can be found in a range from a bright orange-toned red to a duller slightly bluish red. The differences in hue are due to the range in the size of the ground particles. The larger the average crystal is, the duller and less orange-toned it appears. It has been theorized that the more coarsely ground "Chinese" form of vermilion is more permanent than the more orange "French" variety. It is also theorized that purification leads to increased stability, as with many other pigments.
Hindu women use vermilion along the hair parting line known as Sindoor, to signify that they are married. Hindu men often wear the vermilion on their forehead during religious ceremonies. Vermilion is part of all religious ceremonies and festivals.
