On the morning of December 24, 2019, I was taken into a vision. In this vision, I saw Dutch Sheets climbing a large, thick rope. He was wearing a “letterman” or “varsity” jacket, similar to those worn in the early to mid 1900’s by school athletes that identified them with the team for which they played. The “letter” on the jacket was a “K”, and it represented “Kingdom”.
The rope he was climbing was very long, and it had several knots tied in it. I noticed the knots were strategically placed for his climb, for it was at each of these knots where he would begin to look very tired and almost at the point of being unable to continue. But exactly at those points, there would be one of these huge knots, giving him a point of rest and reprieve. There, he was able to get a fresh “grip” on the rope and a “second wind” to continue the climb.
I noticed there were numbers on the knots. The numbers were years. One was 1978, another was 1985, another was 1995, another was 2004, another was 2008, another was 2010, then 2016, and lastly 2019. I don’t know the exact significance of those specific years, but whether known or unknown by Dutch, I felt it was at some point during those years that God had done something major and timely in or for him that was for the purpose of strengthening and empowering him to continue the climb. (After sharing this dream with Dutch Sheets, he confirmed that each of these dates is significant to him.)
At the top of the rope there was a large bell, and it looked like the Liberty Bell. Written on the bell was “The United States of America”, and “2020” was written beneath those words.
Nearing the top of the rope, Dutch made a huge stretch, and with all he had in him, he reached for a string that was attached to the clapper of the bell. Just barely reaching it, he took the string with his fingertips and rang the bell. Though it seemed he barely rang it, the sound that came out of that bell was deafening! I could see sound waves going out from there like ripples of water when a stone is dropped into a lake.
Then, it was as if I were “zoomed out”, and my view was widened just in time to see that the “sound waves” from that ringing bell were swiftly traveling all across the USA and causing a “movement” in the land—not an earthquake, but a noticeable, tangible movement.
As this happened, I saw people running out of their houses and places of business, from stores and malls, from high-rises, from churches, from schools and colleges, from barns, from State Houses…young and old, rich and poor. They were not focused on each other at all; they were all LOOKING UP to “see that sound”!
And I heard a voice come from heaven, clearly and loudly, declaring, “America, you have been SAVED by the bell!”
That was the end of the vision.
A couple of things I knew immediately in my spirit were:
1) The ringing of the bell was associated somehow with prayer.
2) The phrase “saved by the bell” means that something was stopped just in the nick of time. What could have happened and what was intended to happen, couldn’t happen now because the ringing of the bell stopped it.
