I received several such dreams in past 14 years and I am
going to share with you a couple of them. They came to me before the turn of
the millennium in December, 2000. They were two separate dreams, but they had a
similar message of what is to come in this new century.
In one of them I saw a rough see with dark deep blue water
and high waves and people being thrown into this sea. Most of them were acting
on their survival instincts, thrashing about in the water and trying to fight
the waves. All who did that, died. Then it was my turn to be thrown in, there
were people shouting that I had no chance and that I would die, but as I felt
the cold water enveloping me I had a strong conviction not to fight the waves
even though my mind was telling me that I am going to die if I do that. I kept
doing nothing and began sinking. I sank deeper and deeper until I reached the
bottom, which then suddenly changed into a clean dry room with an open gate.
I was shocked to find myself there and not only being alive,
but free to go out. I felt sad about all those people who believed the angry
voices and fought for their lives, which was the very thing that made them lose
it and glad that I have listened to my conviction.
In the other dream I stood outside of some town, by the
fence and looked at the sky. I saw a very dark cloud approaching and a huge
tornado forming. My mind told me to seek shelter, but an inner small voice told
me to trust and hold on to that fence. But it is impossible, I reasoned. This
tornado will kill me, but I listened to the voice nevertheless. I saw the
tornado approaching and felt the wind. I closed my eyes, preparing myself to
die, but the storm passed over me without doing any harm to me.
I was shocked, but I saw other people by that same fence who
likewise survived against all odds. We began gathering together and went into
the town looking for any other survivors.
In both dreams there was the external life threat to me and
others and in both of them I had a conviction to act against my survival
instinct and trust in other means of salvation, which came despite me not
having much hope. The sea always symbolizes the nations and/or international
type of events. Its darkness symbolized the danger as were the waves. The tornado
was more local, but also dark, violent, and dangerous.
The biblical term for a tornado is “whirlwind" and it appears often in the Bible in connection to God's judgement or the world trials facing us. The Lord was warning me here of the difficulties facing me and other Christians in the future as the world becomes more hostile towards us and we can certainly see it happening today.
From the killings of Christians done publically by ISIS, to the bashing by the western media of anyone who as a Christian opposes promotion of homosexuality. Those whirlwinds are already here and they are going to increase, but our God is greater than any storm and always present to give the strength to face any trial thrown at us by this world.
