My first awareness of "A prophetic eye"

( Years ago I recorded this journal about "A Prophetic eye")

"Just after my water baptism experience, words of prophecy were spoken over me, and I was told that I had a "prophetic eye".

At the time, I did not know or have a clue what a "prophetic eye" was, and I didn't see it scripturally.

Not only was I told that I had one, but I was told that I had already "Seen with it". I was extremely thankful to have a "gifting", any gifting, and I was happy about it even if I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS.

I prayed and meditated about this "gifting" that I had? I then remembered a unique experience, something "unusual" that happened when I was reading the story of Jacob when he first met Rachel in Genesis 29:1–3

Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east. 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth. 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.

Of course this is where Jacob meets Rachel as she came with her father Laban's sheep to water them. But as I read these verses somehow I "knew" they were talking about what I referred to as the Christmas story of Luke in the Gospels, where the Angels came and worshiped followed by the Shepherds and then the Wise men.

The "3" flocks represented the "Angels, the Jews and then the Gentiles". All came to be "Watered" by the Well of Christ, the Stone upon the Well. Then we also see Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well… John 4:5

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

   6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

At first, my "Seeing" was without understanding or knowledge. But then I considered what spiritually happened when Jacob met Rachel. Their meeting was a prophetic beginning of Israel, the anointing Jacob carried was passed down from Abraham, the promise which would eventually spread to the Gentiles thru the picture of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at Jacobs Well…

The more I would look at the meeting of Jacob and Rachel the more I would see Jesus in the Gospels. It was not something I would "reason" in my thoughts, I just "See it" (know that I know)."

There is much more detail in what I see in this story of Jacob, Rachel and Jesus at the Well, but I feel I need to be brief and prepare you as the Lord did me.

Next I will continue by sharing a very unusual vision that would take 2 years to interpret.
