Dreams of The Future

 

Because God is outside of time and space, He is as much in what we call past, as in the present as well as the future. That is why sometimes He lifts the curtain of time and shows us glimpses of the future in our dreams. These dreams of the future are also called prophetic dreams.

 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.

 

 

 

Iran Deal And The Coming Ezekiel 38 War Against Israel

While President Obama tried to make this nuclear deal with Iran to prevent war, he simply paved the road for another one. But there is nothing anyone could do about it. The Bible is clear that this war will take place and therefore cannot be prevented, though it could have been delayed if Obama and his European partners have not chose the way of appeasement towards Iran.

But again perhaps they were blinded because it is supposed to happen at this juncture of world history? Either way, Iran got everything it wanted and some, but never changed its goals. Ayatollah Khamenei as well as President Rouhani saw this as a triumph of Islamic Republic over the West and told "brothers in Palestine and Lebanon" to rejoice. Now, why would Palestinians rejoice over this deal?

It is simply because it brought Iran this much closer to gaining nuclear weapon, so it could "liberate" Palestine by wiping Israel off the world's map. And they will do what they say that they will do and Israel for one knows this very well. That is why Israelis will try to stop Iran from getting the nukes on their own, if they have to.

This in turn will draw the military response not only from Iran, but also from its allies. Russia already declared that a strike on Iran is the same to them as a strike on Russia itself. Turkey under its current leadership also would join any coordinated attack against Israel and those three nations just happen to be listed in the Ezekiel 38 prophecy as part of the alliance of nations who in the last days will go to war against restored Israel.

It is very possible that we will see it unfolding very soon. Perhaps this is the war that the blood moons and the Jubilee cycle point to? I would not be surprised. If it is so, then we already know the end even before the beginning because the Scriptures clearly declare that this alliance will be supernaturally defeated by God Himself who will fight for His people like He did in the days of old.

There will be a mega earthquake and perhaps a volcanic eruption as well that will rain fiery hailstones on this army destroying it completely. The Al-Aqsa Masque will be destroyed too. God of the Bible will prove Allah a false god, thus destroying the problem of Islamic terrorism that plagues the world today and the Iranian people will take back their country that was hijacked by Islamic fanatics back in 1979.

We are living in truly amazing days!

Markets Shake As The Shemitah Year Draws to Its End

Many people were very skeptical when a Messianic rabbi, Jonathan Cahn, first began speaking on the mystery of shemitah last year warning that if the pattern holds, then we should expect a major upheaval in global economy.

By now those skeptics are not so skeptical any longer as news of the slow down in global economy following the crash of oil prices and continuing lay offs from many companies around the world began to emerge shortly after the year of the shemitah began on September 25, 2014. It is also a fact that most if not all stock market crashes in the history happened during Shemitah years.

As recently as yesterday the investors in China, which already surpassed the United States as the largest world economy, went into panic mode causing a major Stock Market fall just as the reported technical glitch shut down the New York Stock Exchange for more than 3 hours on the same day, even as Greece continues to ask for more bail out money without any intentions of paying them back. I think in the coming two months it will get even worse.

Politicians and analysts are still refusing to acknowledge what is happening, but most of us watching it all know already that we are heading into a major economical crash that will be even worse than the last one which not coincidently also happened in the last year of shemitah 2008. Only the causes of that so called Great Recession were never dealt with, the financial practices were never changed and America turned away even further from God.

Therefore it will not be surprising if this Shemitah the judgment on America's and the world's economic systems will be even greater than before. It is not only shemitah, but a super shemitah year that precedes directly the year of Jubilee. A time of blessing for those who are faithful to God, but the time of judgment for those who are not.

If you want to know more about this mystery , I encourage you to google it or search for Jonathan Cahn's teaching on You Tube were you will find lots of information about this free of charge.

Do not make any major financial decisions before the year of the shemitah ends on Elul 29, which is September 13 of this year on Gregorian calendar. We are living in very prophetic times.

Renewed Call To Prayer For ISIS Fighters

It is very easy to begin to resent or even hate ISIS fighters as well as their religion when we are being now daily bombarded with increasingly more revolting images of the atrocities that they commit.

Many well intentioned Christians post those pictures on their blogs and social media pages to bring awareness to how wrong it is what they are doing afraid that if Islam gains foothold in the West, then this kind of violence will reach them too, but we have way more powerful weapons at our disposal in this holy war and it is the authority that God had given us, the power of His Holy Spirit, the Blood of Jesus, the word of our testimony, the Love of God and the power of prayer.

Have you ever thought why Jesus told us to love our enemies? Why He commanded us to pray for those who hate, persecute, insult, spitefully use, rob or even kill us? Well, today it dawned on me even clearer than ever before. He did so because He wants to save them! Yes, you read right. He wants to save them because He died for them too.

We have to remember that these people as vicious as they might be are only tools in the hands of the real enemy, the demonic hordes of hell who drive them to do what they are doing and we were promised the authority over them.

Jesus said, "Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you...and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." ( Luke 10:19 ; Mat. 16:18)

We have the power, so let us use it! Since I issued the last call to prayer for ISIS fighters on this blog earlier this year, I have heard amazing stories of salvation of those who not only used to kill Christians and other innocent people, but even enjoyed doing it, how some of the had visitations from Jesus asking them why were they killing His people and revealing the truth about Himself to them.

This happened because of our prayers. These people are all deceived poor souls desperate for salvation. They cannot conquer their own sinful nature, so they go to Syria and Iraq to fight in the "holy war" because they are brainwashed into thinking that this will assure them eternal life. let us continue to storm the gates of hell by raising our prayer for their salvation daily to heaven. Every minute of prayer counts!

When The Supreme Court Judges Stand Before The Supreme Judge

It was sad, but expected. The Supreme Court of the United States joined its Canadian counterpart in ruling that gay marriage is constitutional according to the human law, but that still does not make it legal by the divine law.

The Supreme Judge of the Universe already ruled from eternity that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. Nothing is ever going to change that. I do not fear for the people like myself who still choose to say the truth about it, but for the supreme court judges who will one day have to stand before The Supreme Judge who created mankind and instituted marriage. What they are going to tell Him? I pray they will repent before the day of their judgement comes.

Many Christians in America are feeling shaken by this, but they should not be surprised. We are living in the last days and we were warned in the Bible that as the end times progress, the world is going to get spiritually darker, but we are children of the light who should not fear the darkness.

All the more we need to let our light shine before men, so that they will see that light and will be drawn to it. We need to live the gospel out without diluting it and without compromising its integrity. We cannot allow ourselves to become salt that has lost its flavour.

How can we advocate for traditional marriage when the divorce rate is so high? This needs to change. We must submit to God in all things and begin to live by the Spirit, not by the desires and selfishness of our flesh. We have to stop living like the world, so we will not be suffering like it does.

We can only lead by example and things came to this point mainly because many of us don't. I am very blessed to have a godly husband and because we chose God's ways above our flesh, we are happily married now for over 15 years. But we did build our marriage on a solid foundation. We waited for sex until we were married, we did not even kiss before our wedding night. We also chose to do everything we can to make our marriage work by submitting to one another and placing the good of the family above our own desires.

It is sad to see when other Christian couples do not do that because it causes their marriages to suffer or even end in divorce. It doesn't have to be this way, it should not be this way.

As Christians we will one day stand before The Supreme Judge too to answer for what kind of examples we were to the world. The world cannot be changed by politics, but it will be changed by the power of the gospel and the very living presence of God. Let us draw near to Him, so He would draw near to us and shelter us when the judgement falls on the ungodly.

Remember that every nation and culture in history that embraced and celebrated same sex eventually imploded on itself. Sodom, Gomorrah, Greek and Roman empires, where are they today? I am afraid that Western civilization as we know it will meet the same fate. There will be more and more lawlessness, religious extremism, and violence until the freedom the West so cherished will be lost to ruthless dictatorship. For freedom can be enjoyed fully and can last only in godly societies where people practice the golden rule. Democracy will never work for the lawless, godless, selfish, and greedy-it never had.

The Harvest Dream

This dream followed immediately after the wave dream, which I shared with you on this blog back in May 2014. You can find it in the archives if you have not read it yet.


The scenery changed, but I knew that it was a continuation of the wave vision which means that there will be the passage of some time between the fulfillments of them.

Since the city was destroyed by the wave, I saw myself and many others walking through the country side with back packs containing our few belongings on our backs. The day was sunny and the grass on the hills was vibrant green and as we walked on a narrow straight dirt path we came before the view of a huge field of wheat. I noticed that the grains were very large and the stalks were bending slightly under their weight as they were moved back and forth by a gentle wind.

I thought to myself "what a rich harvest this will be for this country." While I was admiring the harvest, I heard a voice from heaven saying "But you have to be careful not to lose any of it."

The interpretation that came to me was that as the future move of the Holy Spirit and God's judgment will remove the ministries that were built by our human efforts ( the city, high rise buildings) to feed human pride rather than to build the kingdom of God, the Lord will call out of this present church system people who are willing to humble themselves (modest backpacks, few belongings) and be led by the Holy Spirit on a narrow straight dirt path of God's righteousness that not too many people are willing to walk on because it does not bring visibility, acclaim, or money like running big ministries does, but God will enable them to reap great harvest of souls for His kingdom.

And I think that this is already beginning to happen. Many large ministries are being exposed for compromise and watering down of the gospel message in order to maintain themselves. Many of them have fallen to greed and manipulation in order to maintain their visibility, so their effectiveness in affecting real change in people and truly winning souls for God's kingdom went down. The tangible presence of the Holy Spirit has left them, there is no more anointing to break the yoke of sin, so they began preaching false doctrines such as that there is no need for repentance and that God's grace covers you even when you rebel against God and His Word and live your life in sin.

So, the people who truly love The lord and desire to walk His narrow path of righteousness disgusted by the perversion of the gospel there and rampant lifestyles of sin began leaving those churches and ministries. Many of them left to smaller churches that are still faithful to the gospel, others began forming house churches and fellowships with other like minded believers and this will continue.

In another post, I will share the third and final part of this dream vision in which I believe the Lord showed me what He is going to do in the future in and through His church, so we would not be discouraged.

The Rapture Dream

 Before I ever read about the rapture of the saints in the Bible, I had the following dream that ultimately led me to faith in Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour.

Growing up a Roman Catholic, I had never even heard of the idea or the term "rapture of the saints." I never read about it in the Bible either because I did not own one until  receiving a New Testament as a gift from a young priest that used to teach us both religion and martial arts, but even then I read only the gospels and the Book of Revelation.

So, one night back in 1997 or 1998, I had a following dream. I was walking outside when suddenly my body became light and I began to rapidly rise to the sky. I felt the air blowing on me, as I rose and saw the earth getting smaller, then I began approaching the clouds. I felt a tremendous sense of excitement while wondering what or who am I going to see there and  wondered where was I going. Then as I passed through he clouds, I saw a very bright light and woke up.

It was a very realistic type of dream, more like dream vision really, and I never knew what it meant until a couple of years later when reading a passage from apostle Paul describing pretty much the same thing I experienced in my dream with an explanation of what it meant.

"But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words."( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

When I read that, I understood that God was showing to me the same future event that both Jesus and Paul the apostle talked about. I also understood that He wanted me to be in the words of Jesus among those "counted worthy to escape the things which are coming upon the earth." It also proved to me that it was really God personally reaching out to me through dreams and visions and showing me things I could not have otherwise known.  It also proved to me that the Bible is indeed inspired by Him and not made up by people alone.

Now, I don't know whether I will in fact be physically alive during the time of rapture, but from this biblical passage, I do know that even if I physically die before it happens, I will still be part of it as one of those whom God will raise from the dead and take to Him on that day, and if you trust your life to Jesus and faithfully follow Him for the rest of your life, then you can be sure that you will be there as well. What a glorious Day it will be!
