A voice calls out, trying to get your attention but you are unable to hear
For the noises around you are drowning it out
It is an unfamiliar voice…Wait…there it goes again
There is so much going on, it is like you standing in the center of Times Square
The beeping, the honking, the yelling, the screaming, the …talking
So many sounds, so much calamity but, wait…there it goes again
Maybe, if I move, I can figure out what it is
Maybe I can figure out what it is saying
In a desperate state of confusion, you begin to head NORTH, searching
You are hoping to settle all the noises around you and gain some sense of Peace
You are Hoping to hear, more clearly, this voice that you have seldom heard before
Pushing your way through everyone on the “street” you make your way along this journey
You are not quite sure how long it will take you by foot but you are determined to make your way
THIRTEEN “minutes” later you have traveled about . 6 “miles” of what felt like hell and you find yourself at the border of Central Park
The voice is louder and the sounds from before have become more drowned out but, you’re confused
Maybe, just maybe, if you go a little deeper within, the voice would become even clearer
So you decide to take a longer walk, hoping to find a greater sense of peace
So, about .4 miles in and 8 minutes later you find yourself at Sheep Meadow
Tired, you sit BUT you notice something
It’s quiet, away from the calamity you heard in Times Square
There is Peace but wait…what’s that?
The voice, you heard before. There it is again but now, it is clear
No longer is the voice drowned out by all the noise
The voice is the primary sound; the ONLY sound you hear
FINALLY, you can hear. Finally, where the sheep would come to graze, here in the meadow
You can hear Your SHEPHERD
It is a NEW BEGINNING and when you leave, from this place, your life will never be the same
This is truly a symbolic yet prophetic piece. Numbers in the Bible have meanings and it is no coincidence that as God gave this to me, the directions, miles, and times all pointed to a certain place.
Here is a key to help you:
Times Square, Central Park, and Sheep Meadow in Central Park are real places
The number 8 is the number of new beginning
The number 4 is the number of creation/material completeness. Used also in giving meaning to the seasons or an appointed time
The number 6 the number of incompleteness, also associated with satan
The number 13, is symbolic of rebellion and lawlessness.
