On March 6th of 2026, my husband discovered a dead hawk in our small fish pond. It was tagged, so he reported it to the USGS. The following morning, he decided to look up the meaning.  Hawks are often seen as messengers from the spiritual realm, intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds. Their keen eyesight represents vision and clarity. Their ability to soar high into the sky representing freedom and perspective. Their strength and bravery representing power and courage.

The dead hawk has different interpretations among different cultures and peoples. For the Native American, it’s a sign to heed spiritual messages and warnings. For the Christian, it’s symbolizes divine vision, ascension, and a call to seek higher spiritual truths. These are the two interpretations that are important because of what they represent. The Native American represents the Spirit of God, giving reverence to the Spirit that lives in all things. And the Christian, who gives reverence to the Holy Bible, representing the Word of God. Spirit and Word; the Christ, symbolized in scripture by the “two olive trees” or “two olive branches,” the olive pressed to make the oil used for the anointing and healing of the body, which was appropriate for the previous era. But now, in what is the spiritual “era of Jacob” (a teaching of the second revelation) it’s about healing of the soul through that spiritual anointing called christ. The Spirit has a message, warning us of the importance of seeking higher spiritual truths at his time, which come by divine revelation, which Jesus was. Jesus was the orator of spiritual truth, which was rejected, first by the Jews, and then by the Gentiles. Religion is responsible for the death of spiritual truth, assigning literal interpretations to that which is spiritual, the Church being the greatest offender, violating God’s law, which Jesus said he came not to destroy. The carnal works of the law serve as a figure for the spiritual works that fulfill them. The Church, built upon the teachings of Paul, has the “law of Christ;” a law that requires no works, just faith in a carnal man whose literal blood provides salvation, and the promise of a physical ascension that will never come.

We (those who have an ear to hear) have been given two divine revelations. The first exposed the error in Judaism and Christianity. The second, revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible, provided the key to unlocking the spiritual knowledge protected by the code for over 3500 years. The revelation began in 1998. In 2000, I begin sharing the revelatory teachings in Christian Groups on social media. After all, the knowledge received through the first revelation (1960-1974) was for them. Let’s just say, it was not well-received. As the years went on, I began to notice that more and more Christians were leaving Christianity for Judaism. This makes perfect sense when we read what Jesus said pertaining to the kingdom of heaven. Those who keep and teach the commandments of God’s law are counted “great” in the kingdom of heaven, while those who do not are counted “least” in the kingdom of heaven. Those leaving Christianity in favor of keeping God’s law were ascending to a higher position in the kingdom of heaven. What I have been witnesses over the past 25 years is spiritual ascension in the kingdom of heaven!

If those who keep the commandments and teach others to do so are counted “great” in the kingdom of heaven, who is counted “greatest” in the kingdom of heaven?  Matthew provides the answer, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” The humble are counted greatest in the kingdom of heaven, having made their way down to a metaphorical Jordan, meaning a descender, symbolizing their humble posture, the twelve stones placed in the Jordan symbolizing the spiritual judgment through which we become as a “little child,” pure in thought and emotion, which is the healing or salvation of the soul. These have entered the “kingdom of God,” symbolizing the “realm of the Heart, “where the judgment takes place, ascending beyond the kingdom of heaven.

The metal tag attached to the leg of the hawk had the word “loft” engraved on it.  My husband looked up the meaning and discovered it had to do with “ascension.” The word originates from Old Norse lopt, which is to be elevated, related to the English word løfte, meaning “to lift”). Yet another sign that the time for spiritual ascension in God’s Kingdom is upon us!
