From the journal, May 18, 2005:
The early morning sky is full of angels. They are too numerous to be counted or estimated. They encircle the entire world. The angels are fierce and terrifying but at the same time they are good servants of Jesus. I can see then so clearly, even now! They glow with fire, like burning coals. Some look like infants, while others have the bodies of full grown men. All have wings as well as arms, but the wings aren’t used for flying. They look like eagles wings, but each angel's wings are fully outstretched behind them and do not move, yet the angels hover regardless.
The angels’ skin is red, and the surface of their bodies shimmers like a flame. They are each like a sun. I know they have come to do some great harm on their Lord's business and that nothing will stand before them. They only wait for their master’s orders. When they are given, the angels will execute their task without hesitation or mercy.
I want to wake my wife and daughter to show them this great vision, but cannot. I see that when the angels are loosed, each person is on their own, without aid or recourse from anyone.
I fall before the angels and worship God in their presence, afraid to look up, lest I offend them. I cannot stop myself. It is as if chains were thrown up from the ground that pulled me down. I became acutely aware of every trespass I had made against God and his love for me and all of his creation. His benevolence overpowered my emotions, resulting in an unstoppable cascade of praise. I feel unworthy for every time I was disobedient, yet grateful for God’s mercy.
Above me, each of the angels gives warning to the humans below of their coming. Their message is beautiful and terrifying and sad all at the same time. It is beautiful because the Lord is soon to return, terrifying because He comes in vengeance, and sad because He loves those who will be utterly destroyed. They whisper their message in every language simultaneously in voices that carry across the globe. They say,
“Time is short, for at the hour of revelation all will know and none will be spared. If you are wise, repent now and never do evil again.”
When they say this, I see that ignorance was a shield designed for our benefit. It gave us an opportunity to make mistakes as we learned to obey God. However, when God made himself known again, that ignorance would vanish and all would immediately become fully responsible for their actions.
This scene fades into the next:
> A room full of sinful men and women. Among them is a boy who has been kidnapped, and is detained for the present. He is very powerful, yet allows himself to be held. I have the sense that He is Jesus, even though he is a child. His mother is outside the room.
The sinful people who have kidnapped the son intend to do great harm to the mother. The son knows this. He has a symbol on his face, like a giant butterfly. He puts his hand to the symbol and says to his mother, "This is a sign of the Lord's protection. I give it to you."
Then the symbol flies off his face and lands on his mother's face. After that happens, the sinful people viciously attack and ravage the mother. At the same time, I see an entire city being ravaged by these same beings. My impression is that the mother and the city are somehow the same. The “city” is Israel.
I see that the son remains with his evil kidnappers, completely aware of what is happening to his mother, but biding his time. My feeling is that the mother will survive and the boy has the power to free himself, but the time is not yet right. When he does, he will repay the evil done to his mother.
The scene shifts again, to the following:
>I see the place of Jesus' birth and his various ministries at the time he walked the earth. Then I see that since that time, those places have become corrupted and are now dens of thieves and prostitutes. I am told that Jesus originally came as a child out of compassion for the world, but that when He returns, it will be as a man to set things right and to rid the world of evil.
Comments
This is the most powerful dream I’ve ever had. It was hyper-lucid. I was acutely aware of my sleeping body during the dream, the fact that my body and consciousness are separate, and my entire history as a spirit and an incarnate human. I had a comprehensive memory of every thing I’d ever done, said, or thought. Of each item, I knew its merit or lack thereof relative to my obligations to God.
Other dreams have more detail than this one, though I left much detail out of this record that I remember regardless. For instance, in the scene of the mother’s attack, I recall seeing her superimposed on another scene of an open paved square in a city. Buildings around her were torched, residents were brutally murdered or attacked in other ways, and all this was allowed due to the city’s corruption.
Each act of cruelty was added to a debt carried by each of the men responsible. It was like watching men disappear behind increasingly tall stacks of poker chips, where each chip was a crime the man would one day answer for when those chips were cashed in. They could play the game but they would pay heavily for the privilege.
When I saw Jesus as a boy, I felt like I’d literally traveled back in time a couple thousand years, taken there as a great favor to see something important. I saw Jesus, even as a boy, caring for those around him. He knew he was among people in a degraded condition and ministered to them the way a doctor or nurse would treat a patient. In their case, it wasn’t physical infirmity but spiritual disease. Jesus could see the disease plainly and felt great compassion for those who suffered from it.
I don’t understand why but there definitely was a time component to this dream. To most people, we tend to measure things in the context of our own lifespan. In this dream, a lifespan was too short to understand the events I witnessed. God had created everything at a certain time. From that time, people had many opportunities to learn. The time granted for that learning process was long by our standards but was limited. When that time was over, it would be over and a new era would begin.
The message broadcast by the angels to the world, “repent now and never do evil again”, is timeless. That is, it is never bad advice. My feeling is that everyone who hasn’t already made the commitment should do it right now. There is never a bad time to stop doing evil, just as there is no bad time to stop committing acts of self-harm.
At the time of this dream, I had been attending church for a few months. It was another dream that got me into church in the first place, just shy of my fortieth birthday. Until then, I had no strong knowledge of, or affinity for, the church.
I was antagonistic to religion at least until my early thirties. I thought of people who went to church as stupid and gullible. Churches, as far as I could tell, where a swindle, nothing more. The Bible, I thought, was science fiction. Sometimes I entertained the cynical thought that the Bible and religion were cleverly designed to control large civilian populations. I had no idea how arrogant each of these positions was.
My dreams showed me that I couldn’t discount the existence of God on the premise that nothing is “supernatural”. I had plenty of evidence that some of my dreams were precognitive. By definition, precognitive dreams are supernatural, therefore, supernatural events are real even if they are porrly understood. Over the next decade, my resistance to acknowledging the existence of God crumbled slowly.
I didn’t want to believe in God. If I did that, I would have to admit my ignorance and my arrogance. Eventually, my dreams managed to convince me that most of my arguments against the existence of God were poor. Real world waking observations reminded me of the complexity of what appeared to be design in all living things. After a while, I couldn’t look at any natural thing without seeing it as part of a creation made by a Creator.
At the time of this dream, I had read a little bit of the Bible but not much. When I did read it, my principal goal was to see if any given spiritual dream was consistent with the Bible. This led to sporadic reading of non-contiguous sections. I had little knowledge from reading or exposure at church to the type of themes found in this dream.
The point of mentioning this is that I usually find it difficult to talk about my spiritual dreams. I’m not sure what to say about some of them because I still don’t like to admit the possibility that they are right and I was wrong for so long. I’ve had multiple dreams with messages like the one in this dream but I still don’t like talking about what amounts to the second coming of Jesus, as Christians would describe it.
In my dreams, there is a little more to it. There is a second coming of Jesus, and then there is a return of God to earth and a restoration of knowledge of God. I am uncomfortable discussing this partly because of how many people have made similar statements in the past. In my case, I am having dreams on the subject. I write them down, then sometimes share them with others. I am not saying that I’ve studied the Bible and think this is what it means. I haven’t studied the Bible to come to any meaningful conclusions. I am reporting my dreams and nothing more.
Of all the dreams I’ve had on this topic, this one is possibly the most important. The reason is that it tells us what to do to prepare, “repent now and never do evil again.” We could all do that right now if we felt like it. If we did, we would be better off, as would everyone around us, the world, and humanity as a whole.
Thank you, dear brother in Christ.
Hold to the true faith!
"But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:
how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh
Now to Him Who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen."
Jude 1:17-25
