I had a dream last night about a bombing that woke me up about 7:30am this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep very easily because of some of the images I remembered because it was so thorough and some of it disturbing. I wasn't sure who to tell or where to post this so I just decided to post it here. I'm sure I will talk to someone sooner or later but for now, this is what happened:
I was standing outside of some building, kind of wandering about. They were large buildings, not small. I suddenly noticed a man walking to a building with his wife and child in a stroller across from where I was. There wasn't a street dividing the buildings, just cement. Well, he started looking around the building very suspiciously. I pulled out some small binoculars from my pocket to get a closer look, but for some reason never really looked through them. I knew something was up. Then I saw another man standing nearby the building where I was, looking a little suspicious as well.
At that point, I decided to go into the building where I was standing initially. I was met by a security guard who told me to come with him. My first thought was that maybe he suspected that I was up to something! But I went along with him. He led me to a large group of people not far from there, one of which was my mom. She was standing on my left. I didn't recognize anyone else. The next thing that happened was, we all got down on our knees as if to pray, getting ourselves prepared for something. I knew that something was going to happen at that point. I remember somebody saying "It's going to get very hot now." Right after he said that, I heard a loud explosion, and just as he said, it started to heat up around us. I remember taking a quick glance just before that. Along with the heat was this sound like a powerful wind going over us. I remember lifting up my right hand to pray that God would protect us! It was pretty intense from what I remember!
After about a good minute of that, it calmed down and everyone turned out okay. We all got up and just looked at each other with great relief and even hugged and held on to one another. I don't remember anyone screaming or yelling or even crying, we were all okay. It was done and we were all relieved.
While the first part was intense, this next part was a bit disturbing.
After this, I wanted to know what happened out there. I remember going outside and looking around. On the other side, all I saw were large rocks and boulders all around. I walked closer to the building to get a better look. I couldn’t see very much so I walked over to what seemed like a sliding door made of metal, kind of like a large shed door. I slid it opened, took one look and shut it instantly! All I saw inside were body parts lying on the ground. Right after I shut it, I noticed a little girl, maybe 8 yrs old, sitting in the corner by the door. She immediately got up and led me into that same room. This time, however, the scene was more bearable yet still a bit gruesome. After looking around for a good minute, it became apparent what was going on in there. The scene was one of people caught up in sexual immorality, or as the world would put it, an orgy. However there was nothing explicit that was in view. All the bodies were charred, and some of the bodies were even kneeling or sitting in a ‘frozen’ position, almost like mannequins.
Now the weird thing is, along with these normal people were other smaller people in a pile on my right side. They were the size of dolls, but they had the appearance of real people. The little girl explained to me that the people were using them in some sort of idolatrous way, as if they were bowing down to them. She was trying to show me by going through the motions as well as explaining it to me. I didn’t totally understand what she meant.
After she explained this to me, the dream ended.
I woke up feeling very uneasy and couldn’t go back to sleep. Those images were still in my mind, so I got into prayer for our nation and those caught up in immorality. Eventually I fell back asleep. I had another dream that was a kind of the aftermath, but I can’t for the life of me remember what happened! I don’t think it was anything of significance.
Well, this indeed was a rare dream. I wasn’t sure what to make of it exactly. But as I got into the Word later, it seemed to speak to me, or interpret, the dream I had. I read Hebrews 10, which basically describes the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who’s sacrifice was able to forgive sin once and for all, whereas the blood of bulls and goats was not. It’s a great chapter! But it also speaks of those who make His sacrifice seem like no big deal. These verses spoke to me directly about the dream. Starting in verse 26 it says:
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.
28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!
35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has a great reward.
36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
The message was clear to me: for those who understand what Christ did for them, and reject Him and continue in sin without regard to God will be devoured by the wrath of God. But for those who live by faith and continue to put their trust in God and in the work of Christ who shed his blood for us, will be under His protection and receive the promise of eternal life!
Amen! =)
