A Dream of Tribulation Times

Awhile back, I had a dream. It stuck with me; I’ve pondered over it, but only recently felt like I should share it. Perhaps the time of such happenings is at hand. Now it is only a curiosity, but in difficult times we KNOW are coming, it might provide inspiration.

In the dream, I was part of a group of resistance fighters. We were under attack from a force of well-armed soldiers wearing uniforms I’ve never seen in real life. Our group had no guns. We fought with what we had: tools, swords, slings & bows. The soldiers outgunned & outnumbered us badly. Some of the soldiers seemed beastlike. They were trying to flank us. If they succeeded, we were finished.

Hunkered down behind some rocks, watching and praying as they came, I became aware of a massive hand behind them, supporting them. It seemed to be directing their assault. I held a bow. Aiming carefully between the soldiers, I put an arrow directly into the palm of that hand. There was a roar of pain and outrage. The hand instantly withdrew. The soldiers seemed confused momentarily, then they withdrew as well.

Our little group was saved! We split up into villages nearby until we had reason to gather for some new mission. We thought the soldiers would come back looking for our group, so splitting up was our best chance for survival.

Giants ruled the land. The beasts & people comprising the military served them. No soldiers came looking for us, but a few days later three giants came to town. 10 to 12 feet tall, they were typically reserved and dispassionate. Their manner was all business. If people went about daily life without drawing attention, the giants would leave them alone. They seemed to understand terrifying humans they ruled would disrupt the order they established, so they kept a calm demeanor at all times. Even executions were held publicly, calmly, made quick and painless!

Myself and two others of the resistance were hiding in that village. I thought if I kept a low profile & stayed out of sight, the giants wouldn’t find me. They were too big to enter small rooms, so I might be okay. To my dismay, the townspeople lead them right to us! They held no allegiance to us. Handing us over was the quickest way to get the giants to leave, so that’s what they did.

An impromptu execution was organized in the village square, We three stood unbound, a giant behind each of us, held by one hand around our necks. Thumb on one side, palm and fingers draped around the opposite shoulder, there was no way to escape. A flick of the hand would snap a neck instantly over the thumb. I remembered seeing it before. It was painless, the body dropping like a sack of potatoes afterward.

I began to panic, then the words of the Apostle Paul came to mind. To be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord. The thought that I was only a moment away from seeing Jesus excited me! I took heart, waiting to die — and woke up.

None of us really know how the days ahead will play out. According to scripture, Antichrist will be called the Beast by the world around him, so he may not be completely human. They will say, “Who is like the Beast? And who can make war with him?” We’re told he will make war with the saints & will prevail. Many of the saints who perish will be beheaded, leading some to conclude guillotines will be implemented. The manner of execution I saw was effectively the same as beheading, just less messy. The sight of blood is enough to create panic in many looking on, disruptive when those in charge want to set an example concerning what happens to the non-compliant.

Whatever the case, by telling my dream, I did what I thought the Lord was leading me to do. Scripture indicates even among the saints being slaughtered, some will do exploits. This fits. Our challenge now is to live for Christ Jesus; in the Tribulation, theirs will be to die for Him. That’s not easy. My heart goes out to them. Antichrist thinks he’ll wipe them out, but as more turn to Christ, he’ll find the task seems endless. The Lord will return before he can complete it!

The Eclipse Today 4/8/2024

If you’ve been hearing the same things I have, then you know 7 cities named Nineveh in the USA witnessed the eclipse we experienced today. Apparently, a total solar eclipse accompanied the prophet Jonah’s message to ancient Nineveh, which was short & to the point: in 40 days, Nineveh will be destroyed!

It didn’t happen, because Nineveh repented & God spared them. Their king declared a fast, repenting in sackcloth & ashes. I don’t see evidence that our leadership has a reverent fear of God like that! Do you? Our President (or at least the fellow masquerading as such, who resides in the White House) just tried to change Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, into a celebration of sin! If that’s not a slap to His face, I don’t know what is.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge was rammed & collapsed mere days before Easter & Biden’s brazen proclamation. His “Star-spangled Banner,” our national anthem, declares proof in the night that our flag still flew – it had not been removed. America needs God, but unrepentant fools like Biden are burning bridges behind them so there’s no turning back. I believe that’s why the FSK Bridge collapsed, as a sign & a warning that THERE IS NO TURNING BACK when people commit to a path of ungodliness!

Seven Ninevehs in the U.S. (& one in Canada} were touched by the eclipse today. If that wasn’t a warning for this nation to repent now, it’s an incredible coincidence. I don’t believe in coincidence, but let me bring out another facet to this event that I’ve yet to hear anyone mention.

In His parable of the wheat and tares (ref. Matthew 13:24-30), the servants are instructed to let the two grow together until the time of harvest. At that time, the tares will be gathered first into bundles to be burned, then the wheat will be gathered into the Sower’s barn & saved. Hmm, where would both wheat & tares be willingly gathered? In churches! If Christ then collects His own to be caught up to meet Him in the air, that will leave the tares gathered together in the church buildings. Ready to be burned. Left behind, in spite of their professed faith, because they never really knew Jesus, nor He them.

The last town the eclipse touched is in Newfoundland, Canada. I kid you not, it’s name is Burnt Church! “Judgment begins in the house of God,” remember? Two phrases are used to describe the final disposition of those who call on the name of the Lord. The faithful will be “caught up” to be with Him forever, but the “falling away” takes place before the man of sin will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume. Jesus separates these two factions when some go to meet Him, but the rest retreat from His presence. The rapture & the apostasy will take place simultaneously!

Why was this eclipse for America? Because no other nation ever took up the motto “In God We Trust.” Paul told Timothy “the Lord knows those who are His.” It’s still true. He’ll prove it when He calls His bride away! Don’t think for one minute He can’t do it, either. That’s a lie from the Devil. We are His reward for His faithfulness and He can make us perfect in a moment. Our being spared from Tribulation has nothing to do with what we deserve. JESUS deserves His bride & companion, only waiting for His Father to say, “GO GET HER!”
