A Saviour Is Coming

At prayer I received a vision of three wise women Muslim, Christian and Jew inspiring hope. Guided from Jerusalem by the light of artillery flares they venture into Gaza defying warnings of danger to find a woman who's given birth. She and her baby shelter under a concrete slab surrounded by dust and devastation. The three offer gifts of milk, bread and a blanket. Returning, they prophesy that the child will grow to be a Saviour bringing peace among the descendants of Abraham. Meanwhile the father finds a donkey and cart for their escape into Egypt to wait for the terror to cease.
