CDavid, All visions, dreams and Scripture Revelations are for us to understand what God's Word is preaching. And once we as faithful scholars do the WHOLE coarse and pass God's Examn, then we want to share it with the World and we find they do not accept it.
God's Truth is NOT FOR THE WORLD. Jesus said to His disciples.... There are many things I still want to tell you but you CANNOT BEAR IT YET.... We all get to thatstage where we know some, but not all YET. that is when we need TEACHINGS from GOD! We might get it in LIFE experience, or in a dream or in a vision, or in a prophecy, or just reading the Bible. But even these "good" Bible students that likes to show how they study the Word, still has a lot to learn, Like me!
I know after similar experiences you just had that some scripture just makes PERFECT sence. I would wake up and KNOW God a little more! And that is GREAT! God said everlasting life is" TO KNOW GOD AND THE ONE HE SENT!" Who is the One He sent? Hey you bright Biblestudents help me and David out here.... WHO IS THE ONE GOD SENT? The One we need to KNOW to have ETERNAL LIFE?
Please answer this question all Bible professors.... Who is the ONE God sent we should know? Give a Name! And you better be right, or stand ASHAMED that you thought you knew! I want a NAME! and WHO IS IT WE SHOULD KNOW?
David stand close and see! And see how much they KNOW HIM!
oh right Cobus.

2 Peter 1
Prophecy of Scripture
12So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
16We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”a 18We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.
19And
we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy
of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
