Strange Dreams

I had some strange dreams last night; I kept waking up all night long. I only remember one of the dreams that I had because it really stuck with me. Most of the details of the dream are vague, but several things did stand out. This is what I remember:

I was in a store of some type, maybe a grocery store or a warehouse store. All I know is that it was a very large store and it seemed that I was working there. As I was walking around the store there was a loud noise, like thunder, but louder than I have ever heard thunder before. Everyone ran outside to see what the noise was. Everyone looked up in awe and fear…there was a tremendous cloud hovering right over the store, it was dark and roiling and it was on fire. This was not an explosion or a nuclear cloud, this was a dark storm cloud that happened to be on fire. All you could see as you looked up at the cloud were dark clouds and the orange of the flames that were revealed every time the cloud moved.

No one knew what this cloud was. I looked over to one area and I could see someone in white that seemed to be floating upwards. Then I knew…this was the Rapture of the Church! I looked to my right and saw my brother and to my left and saw someone familiar (I knew who it was in the dream, but now I can’t remember who it was or even if they were male or female). I knew that the three of us would be going and grabbed their hands, I looked past this familiar person and saw two other people that I knew (also not known who they are) and I knew that they were going to be left behind. I looked up and said, “Lord I am ready” and myself and the two that I was holding hands with were taken up.

At this point I woke up. I don’t know if this was a dream given to me, but in case it was, I am going to pass it on.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Acts 2:17

I googled cloud on fire and the first result that came up was a link to biblehub and the verse Exodus 13:21.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

Another strange thing about this dream is that I actually remember most of it. I have had strange dreams before and in the morning all I can recall is vague memories of what I dreamed. I am always sure that I will remember dreams that I have had, but it rarely is the case that I remember so much of a dream and so many of the details. I can only surmise that this dream was given to me for a reason, maybe a warning that time is growing really short and the Church Age is coming to a quick end.

I believe the modern day church is the church of Philadelphia that is mentioned in Revelation 3:7-13:

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

God promises to keep them from what is to come upon the earth. I take this to be the Tribulation. God will remove His church before the Tribulation.
Not everyone that calls themselves a Christian really is one, many people that thought they were Christians will be left behind. Those that loved the world more than they loved God, are you so caught up in music, TV, movies, sports and the celebrities that represent them that you are not spending time with God and His Word? Do you know more about celebrities and sports figures than you know about the Bible?  Maybe you need to reevaluate where you stand spiritually. Are you looking forward to Jesus’ return or do you wish He would wait awhile? Or do you not even believe that He will return?? The Bible clearly says that He will return, everyone needs to be ready.

I am ready! Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!
