A Dream of What is to Come

I must tell you about this amazing dream that I just had Thursday June 25, 2009. I believe it was from the Lord. The dream was so vivid and so real. I don´t remember ever having a dream like it. It seemed prophetic.
In the dream, Peggy and I were sitting at a table like at an outdoor restaurant would have, just big enough for the two of us. It wasn´t any place that I recognized. She asked me to get something for her, so I left her at the outdoor table and I was maybe two or three thousand feet from her, walking away from her, when all of a sudden, literally out of the blue sky this huge like a mountain of rock appears. I cannot help expressing to you how very real this experience was and how all of my senses were involved (i.e. seeing, hearing, smelling, etc.)
The rock or meteor came out of the sky at what looked like a 45 degree angle, and it must have been fifty to a hundred feet high, by fifty to a hundred feet long, and it had jagged edges but round in shape.
When this enormous rock hit, in the dream, I was amazed and knew this was a monumental historical event taking place right before my very eyes. I felt the impact from this great rock hitting the earth beneath my feet, and felt the pressure of the air building all around me, and even heard the sound of the wind building up air pressure and power created by the impact. The event was terrifying and amazing at the same time. It didn´t seem like a dream, it was so real, because I saw and felt all the sensations as though it were actually happening and as if I were fully awake. I could even smell the mixture of water vapors and earth that were blended together floating and swirling all about and around me.
When I woke up, the dream was so real and vivid to me that I thought I was just continuing to live the dream being awake.
I looked back at Peggy with pangs of acute anxiety, thinking to myself how insecure I felt being in the process of watching myself being separated from Peggy. I could see her still sitting there waiting patiently for me to return to her, when this great rock hit the earth. I immediately turned around and started back towards Peggy when I saw what was transpiring. I tried to reach her and be with her, and to hold her close, and to comfort her and myself in this terrifying event, but I didn´t get very far when this very powerful swirling tornado wind picked me up into the air. The haze of dust and dirt flying in the air completely obscured my view and covered Peggy and everything that was on the ground below.
The last scene of everything I was accustomed to seeing completely disappeared from view and I was taken up into the clouds, and that was the last I saw of Peggy...
The impact of this very large bolder or meteor on the earth created a huge and wide berthed tornado with swirling dirt, haze and flying debris, which lifted me up. I was slowly lifted up many thousands of feet in the air above the earth, and transported to what seemed to be several thousands of miles away to a large city that I sensed to be back East.
Even while I was being transported by this very powerful swirling wind I sensed I was traveling back toward the East.
While I was in the air many thousands of feet above the earth I was thinking to myself: "well, I´ll just have to trust the Lord and if I die or if I lived through this cataclysmic event I´m in the hands of the Lord." When I finally reached the winds destination, I came out of the clouds and was slowly let down as I very gently touched the ground standing in an upright position. I saw this large unfamiliar city with its many tall buildings and that´s when I awoke.
Some ending comments about the dream
After meditating on the dream for several days, I remember I had a premonition at the beginning of the dream, before I was taken up, that I was going to be separated from Peggy. After thinking on the dream, I realized that the Lord was trying to warn me of what was to come so that I could prepare myself spiritually for its eventuality. How it will in reality actually play itself out in my life, I will have to wait and see. I am waiting on the Lord for the interpretation, but we as Christians must remember that we are living in the last hours of the last days, where many things will happen that have never happened since the history of man being on the earth. We are definitely living out what the prophets of old have predicted would happen in our day. The book of Joel calls our day: "a great and awesome day."
We must purpose within our hearts, that no matter what we see coming on the earth we must put our complete trust and faith in the author and finisher of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ.
What I have to endure may not be the same thing that you might experience, but we all will suffer persecution.
The Bible clearly warns that Christians should expect to suffer tribulation and persecution (Matthew 16:33 & John 15: 20) but it is not the will of God that Christians experience the judgments of God that will fall upon the wicked. If we are walking with God we don´t have to be afraid.
"If you have confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you need never fear the wrath of God.
Those who are in Christ are forever sheltered by the blood that Jesus shed for them. This truth has to be the cornerstone of our faith. It will determine everything we think and all we do in times of chastening." David Wilkerson
"For God has not destined us to wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians, 5:9
Because we are eternal beings and are living right at the cusp of greater apocalyptic events yet to come …"I am persuaded nether death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor "powers," nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other "created thing" shall be able to separate us from the love of the God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans, 8:38 & 39
One of the scriptures that I have been trying to memorize when I might not have my Bible close at hand is in Psalm 27:1, & 3 – "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an host should camp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war arise against me, in spite of this I shall be confident."
Because I have been posting articles on American Chronicle, I have had to deal with the very real possibility of eventually suffering because of my taking a stand for Christ and His principles. Francis Shaffer once said: "No truly authoritarian government can tolerate those who have a "REAL" [emphasis mine] absolute by which to judge it´s arbitrary absolutes and speak out and act upon that absolute."
Since I have started to post articles, and even just recently I have thought about ceasing to post so that I could devote more time with the Lord, but I´m not willing to give that up just yet. However Jimmy, Peggy´s son, has said If the corporations who control the internet ever start taxing and charging for every site that he goes to and controls what sites that he can or can´t go to, he will stop getting internet service. Because he and I have pooled our resources together to get internet service that is probably when I will no long be able to continue to post. From what I´ve read on the net, that time could be just several months away. I have even thought about cutting back on the amount of emails I get so that I could devote more time to spiritual endeavors.
The world will not understand until they experience the new birth of being born of the Spirit, why Christians have such different values and convictions. We must take a stand on our Christian beliefs and convictions if we are to call ourselves His disciples, even though there will be a price we might have to pay. NOTHING is worthy of our giving up our faith to save our temporal physical life.
Remember the words of our Lord when He said: "Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who despise their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. All those who want to be my disciples must come and follow me, because my servants must be where I am. John 12:23-27. N.L.T.
We all have a purpose and a ministry if we have given our lives to Jesus Christ. If we are to be Jesus´ disciples we must follow Him wherever He may lead us, even if it may mean giving up our temporal life to receive His eternal life.
I know that some might think that the dream was just that, a dream without having any significance or that I had eaten something that didn´t agree with me. But I believe the dream was from the Lord about something that was going to happen in the future, that the Lord wanted to alert and warn me about.
A dear friend that I just recently shared with about the dream said: he "thought it was the New Heaven and the New Earth coming down." And Jimmy, Peggy´s son, said that the dream could be symbolic and have another meaning other than what was portrayed in the dream, both comments have a valid point to make. Like I mentioned earlier, I´m waiting on the Lord for the interpretation, and waiting to see how it all plays out.
As in other revelations that I have experienced, whether it is believed to be from God by others or not, I just leave this whole matter with the Lord. But to be forewarned is to be forearmed!
I have told Peggy many times in the past, that if we were ever separated, I wanted her to know that I would be praying for her as long as I was alive.
My purpose for sharing this private dream was to bring the inspiration of the dream and the reality of the times that we are living in to the readers of this column. I hope that in some way this has helped others to think about their near future, and to spiritually prepare themselves by drawing closer to the Lord and keeping our minds on the things of God.
May you be trusting in the Lord, and have the peace of God in these perilous times and days ahead.
