Dreams (again!) of snakes. There is a very large water-filled rectangular pool or pond, and in the water are already-dead snakes floating belly up. But a very large one (not dead yet) comes swimming toward me! Its head is huge and as it approaches me, I feel the Lord reach over my shoulder and kill it, piercing it through the head.

It flips over belly up like all the other dead ones, and the Lord tilts the entire pool up to empty everything. The water is flushed clean, and suddenly there are lily pads with white flowers floating, with small fish swimming underneath; in the distance I see children wading in the water.

The Lord, still behind me, says to me as a direct command (about any other snakes),

            Next time, you do it.

And He very firmly shows me how to do it with my own sword. He shows me how to keep it slung over my back with the handle up, easy to grasp.

            Keep your weapons and words at the ready, child.
