The ‘Deep Sea Canoe Vision’ was given to me in early 1986, in my nation of Solomon Islands. It was during a normal Elder’s prayer meeting on which the agenda was the opening up of a new congregation in a suburb of Honiara city. I began to receive this powerful impression on my mind. The impression was so strong that I could not suppress or ignore it. I called the attention of my colleagues and requested if they did not mind; allow me to share with them what I was seeing in my mind. This is the account vision I saw.
“A great flood was coming down a valley in spite of the fact that it was not raining at all. Unlike any normal flood, the water was pure crystal clear with no dirt or object whatsoever in it. The flood then came to a dam. It began to fill up the valley forming a beautiful lake with greenish blue colour. As the water had completely filled up the valley, it began to flow over the bank of the dam. And as it did, it changed into a water spray of mist like a cloud. At that point the map of the world came onto the scene. From the map I could see that all this was taking place in the Solomon Islands.
Then this cloud began to float around towards Australia, turned north towards Papua New Guinea, and then it turned east and headed back toward the Solomon Islands. From the Solomon Islands the cloud headed east for the second round toward the Eastern Pacific countries of Polynesia. From the east the cloud turned around and headed back west through New Zealand, then Australia and finally back to Papua New Guinea again for the second time.
From Papua New Guinea the cloud changed into what I can only describe as currents. It looked like the effect of a speedboat on water without the boat. There were actually three streams of this. These three-pronged currents headed east towards the west coast of the United States of America. When they hit the West Coast of America they split up in three different directions. The left stream turned north and headed towards the North Pole, the right stream turned south and headed towards the South Pole, and the center stream went on straight towards the East Coast of the United States. When the centre stream reached the East Coast, it took a 180-degree about turn. And as it did so it became a great big tidal wave, a tsunami linking up with the northern and the southern streams, from the North Pole all the way to the South Pole.
This great tsunami literally covered everything within its path. It rolled back over the Americas and then over the Pacific. The wave kept traveling in the westerly direction until the southern tip came to the Indian Ocean. From there the southern tip swung around and went around until it reached the Arabian Gulf and then it stopped. The northern tip kept rolling over Asia, the whole of Europe and then from there it turned south and went around until it encircled the whole of the African continent. When it came around Cape Horn, the tip of South Africa it swung around northeast and traveled up until it linked up with the southern tip of the wave that had been waiting all this time in the Arabian Gulf.
As the two ends met up they formed a perfect circle with Jerusalem right at the center of it. Then from all sides the wave zoomed in on Jerusalem and when it hit Jerusalem it shot up into the sky like a great pillar of water. As this great pillar of water reached deep into the heavens, it opened up like a mushroom and then floated out into all directions in the most beautiful cloud formation one can ever imagine, until it completely engulfed the whole earth. Then these words came out from heaven,
‘And the Glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea!’
