This revelation was given to Shawn by his mother, who received it back in the 1980's.
Our interpretations are in red. (rory)
I saw this huge city that was very busy with people.
Out of the sky came the hand of God with a sword, HE divided the city into two sections. The section on the left was much larger than the section on the right.
This is as when God separated His people when they were in Egypt.
The "huge city" is the world, a "city" of nations, also called Babylon.
Isa 25:3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
There was a dark cloud that formed over the people on the left.
These people were doing horrid unspeakable things to each other.
When they saw the dark cloud above them they started reaching up to it and eating it like cotton candy. (The Holy Spirit later showed me that a lot of the dark cloud was from the TV and computers. -this was given back in the early 80's before computers were in homes)
The people on the left became bored with doing horrid things to each other so they started going over to the section of people on the right and doing horrible torturous things to them.
The people on the right are all that call themself Christians.
All "Christians" will be persecuted by the world in the tribulation. History repeats over and over and this has all happened before.
The Romans who persecuted the early Christians for example. Another example was when Israel left Egypt with a"mixed multitude" as they went into the wilderness.
GOD then divided the section on the right into three more sections.
The first group on the right had many more people in it than the other two groups.
These people had a hard time letting go of their past lives.
They wanted to get to Heaven but did not want to give up their sinful ways from their past.
(Those that call themself "Christian but there is no real change. They are simply "religious" Christians that wear a label.)
Because they kept looking back at their past they all turned into pillars of salt.
(They follow worldly tradition and living for the present world. Jesus likened them unto the seed that fell upon the rocky ground. The seeed sprang up with life, but because it had no root, it withered.)
Because they had not learned to have a relationship with Jesus they had no power to fight off the wicked people on the left.
The group on the left could not get their fill of doing horrid torturous things to the pillar of salt people.
The pillar of salt people have no personal faith or understanding of the Word of God which could save, heal, and deliver them. This is the vast majority of all who claim Christianity.
The second group had more people than the third group.
These people appeared to have no back bone or spine. They swayed with the wind. Any doctrine that came along they were quick to accept it because without knowing the word well enough they accepted whatever was preached.
This was is was the church world we also left behind. Conflicting, mingled doctrines, a comfy church routine, people smiled and clapped for whoever and whatever was spoken across the pulpit.
They were lazy and did not want to put forth effort in reading the word or prayer. Finding a church routine and a sermon easier than personal seeking of God and His Word.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
They wanted other people (especially their pastors) to do all the work for them and loved to listen to doctrines that tickled their ears (like the all-fly-away- pre-trib rapture) and did not call them to dying to their fleshly desires.
Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
These people had a little bit more power than the pillar of salt people but they still had not the power in their lives to combat the evil that was coming on them.
..."I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.".....
Notice, They did have some works...
This is the "many" of Christianity. Mat 24: 10 And then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray.
many means a majority and defined as "many, much, largely, altogether common, much, often.."
When we apply the Word of God to Christianity, this means the majority of Christians will "stumble", turn against other Christians, and follow false leadership.
Stumble: to entrap, that is, trip up stumble or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure): - (make to) offend.
The third group of people were by far the fewest in number. This is the remnant of God's people.
These people had determined in their hearts to be obedient to God no matter what the cost.
They denied them selves and walked in love with others.
Zechariah 13:9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
This group were pillars of fire. They were untouchable by the group on the left.
The group on the left would try to kill and destroy this group and God would translate the pillar of fire people or put HIS angels around them so that they could not be harmed, at least spiritually.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The pillar of fire people would go back and forth trying to help the pillar of salt people and the people with no back bones that swayed in the wind.
These will be the anointed ones of the tribulation that will be witnesses just like those of the early church in Acts. The early church went through their tribulation as it is written:
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
The pillar of fire people had trained themselves to listen to the voice of God and they were used as the hand of GOD in the last days.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
They know His voice (His voice speaks His Word) because they abide in His Word:
John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you

I saw in my dream that you had this glow around you.
Then it was like I went back in time and saw this river of fire. God was beckoning you to walk in the fire and you were hesitant. God told you to trust HIM and he would be with you in the fire.
When you were in the fire it was like you were being purified.
You went through some things that were extremely hard and broke your heart. Every cell of your being ached and cried. Several times you begged GOD to stop but he kept encouraging you to trust HIM.
HE was using the fire to purify your heart.
After you were done with the fire walk you had this glow around you and when you talked to people GOD (the pillar of salt/ churched people) would cause the scales to fall off their eyes and the plugs to come out of their ears.
Their hearts were then tender to hear GOD and they literally turned around and started walking in the opposite direction. Those that became "hearers" would come out from among them, forsaking their false leadership and walk the straight and narrow path of Christ. Rev. 18:4
