Dreams

I've been sleeping restlessly lately. I think I have been for quite some time. I'm going to start recording my dreams here as they are vivid and often disturbing. Possibly not disturbing to others, as much as they are troubling to me - but yes, sometimes still disturbing to others.

Last night, rather this morning (as most of the dreams I remember are the dreams that I conjure up after awaking once in the morning, and then falling back asleep for a short amount of time), I dreamed about the beginnings to the destruction of our world. I dreamed that I was surrounded by people that have been in my life in the past, mostly people who have mocked or scorned me for whatever reason, or have "tolerated" me in the past for the sake of using and then tossing aside. We were all together for whatever purpose, but at one point we were in a large open field of wheat and tall grass staring over a horizon as far as one could see, with an interesting sky, with a dark crazy cloud approaching, and flying over head. Once the cloud approached, we realized that it wasn't a cloud at all, but a legion of "something." I knew in my soul what it was - a legion of demons - but I was aware that I was the only one who knew what the cloud consisted of, and understood the terroristic meaning of the legion. THe others seemed curious and somewhat scared, but blew it off as if they had convinced themselves that it was simply a dark storm cloud, nothing more. But they couldn't explain, but blatantly ignored, the little shots of blinding light that would shoot out of the cloud in small pods, almost like lightning bugs at high rates of speed. I instantly intuitively understood these lights to be angelic forces. THe scene changed once to all of us being on a deserted beach with another cloud flying high overhead. In my heart, I wasn't scared at all - but instantaniously knew what it meant, and began to pray. I told a few people around me that if they understood the prophecies inthe Bible concerning the destiny of our earth that they should pray, and pray hard, as "it was beginning." ENd of dream, I awoke.

Its been a long time since I have studied the Biblically prerecorded events that will happn in the last days - Revelations and some of the prophecies of the Old Testament. I have a hard time remembering the teachings, but I do remember some - but in many ways, I don't believe that those who taught me had any clue as to the depth of the passages, therefore, I feel somewhat unprepared. I've gone back and reread to understand on my own, and also believe that there is a chance that many to most - to maybe all - of the passages speak metaphorically. Until I can get back into reading about it, I wont' show my ignorance, but I still choose to believe that Christ is the King (and will forever). No matter the sequence of events of the last days of our current existence, I have prayer and faith, and that will be enough to withstand the upcoming challenges.

No matter what, I believe all that is happening in the Holy Land is just evidence of the spiritual warfare that is unseen to the eyes who choose not to look deeper, or to those who are spiritually inept.

Just one piece of advice - pray, my friends, and love. I know that we aren't far from the ultimate challenges of our faith. God have mercy on our world.
