earlier this week I had a dream that I was in the tribulation I didn't know if I had missed the rapture or if it had even happened I was watching myself from a third person perspective and was wondering this to myself as I was watching myself, I saw that I was different I was like a mighty warrior I was filled to the brim with the power and spirit of God and was doing mighty works in God's name and for his will and purpose all who came against me could not stand a man who I did not know came running at me to kill me and before he could get to me a powerful voice commanded him to kneel and he did I didn't really enjoy this but the voice commanded it so I accepted it and then the sky opened up and God's love came shooting down like a beam into me from the sky without limit. To best describe this it was as if the church was gone or at least the church age had passed the works and wonders done were not for the church and I feel as if I was not alone in this either like God had set for himself a chosen people to walk in his power and spirit like in the days of pentecost.
I have been not shared this dream with anyone yet but I am hoping to find some answers here I am not the best at interpreting my own dreams.

Then there was this one at the beginning of this year which appeared to me in the form of moving paintings.

revelation 12
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:


2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.


3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.


4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.


5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.


6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.


7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,


8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.


9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I saw everything you read here it stopped at this part of the verse but they were moving paintings all at the beginning of this year I felt a very strong sense of seriousness about it.

I was thinking about you and your propensity for dreams this morning, Blain...

I used to pay a lot more attention to my dreams in years gone by, but have had some weird, wild, and wonderful activity of late, even waking myself up one morning laughing about something I was in the midst of dreaming. Today I was loathe to get out of bed after waking around three, though four or five is normal for me, and felt tired after eight hours sleep, but was having difficulty falling back to sleep, so was up and down a couple of times, in some physical pain at my surgery site, thinking how weird it was that I could hear my tinnitus in one ear only (I am mostly unaware of it except at night and usually in both ears), ... the day seemed to be getting off on a different track than normal. And then I dreamt. I had more than one dream, but in the one I was looking up at the night sky and there was a like a huge screen announcement about the end times/last of days. I did not want to see it, and looked away, but it appeared again in my line of vision. I am not making much of it, though it made me wonder a few things...

There is no real clear cut Verses that claim there is a pre-trib rapture.

Look at Jacob with his sons before he died and look at what he tells his son Judah.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
^
Notice Verse 10:
Shiloh = Messiah - and when he comes, he [GATHERS the people]


Look at the Words of Christ in Matthew 24:
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
^
Notice Verse 31 [they shall GATHER his Elect]


Look at Paul in 2nd Thess 2:
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
^
Notice that once again it relates to the Coming of Christ and [GATHERING unto Him]


Paul explains how this Gathering happens in 1st Thess 4:
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.


From jacob, to Christ, to Paul, they explain Christ Returns and GATHERS. We know from Christ in Matthew 24 this happens Immediately after the tribulation.


So, I can see your dream has a prophetic meaning to it. And it CONFIRMS what we read in the Bible!

Perhaps it is no coincidence you were thinking of this as he has indeed been more gracious in my dreams as of late I find that he has been speaking in more volume in more than one way to me lately for instance and mind you I have no idea what this would mean the other day I was walking witha a buddy of mine at sunset to the store and the sky had a sort of golden hue to it and I saw in the sky at first what seemed like a golden city but then suddenly it turned into a giant palace looking tower raching all the way past my view into the sky it had a very royal look to it I honestly had no idea if it was actually there or not because it looked so real my friend couldn't see it though but then why was God showing me this and what could it mean?

Your dream about the end times if I had to gguess perhaps he wants you to pay more attention to the end times because we are indeed living in them and many shy away from them they don't like to look at it they would rather not trouble themselves with it but these are times we should be aware of and be prepared for and not shy away from but without knowing where you stand personally on the matter of end times I couldn't say for sure but it does sound as if you don't want to look at them.

I know you are a beautiful soul you enrich yourself in him and prosper in his goodness it is not in your nature as far as I have seen to deal with the messy bloodshed of the end times to deeply you have a gentle nature a nature of love and grace so it is only natural that if I am correct you would not look to deeply into the chaotic and troubling nature of the end times.

While it is true I believe in a pretrib rapture or at the very least a prewrath one I am not like most I have prepared my heart for any outcome in fact whether I am taken or left either one is a win for me because when I was saved I promised him that if he would make me strong I would be strong but not simply for the sake of being strong but rather for his sake and for the sake of others and that if he would allow it I would serve him in the tribulation
I have a warriors spirit and didn't seek to be strong in him for myself my calling must not be for myself so I pray that when I do find my true calling that it allows this fire inside my bones to be used fully to the extent that it burns inside if I am wrong about the rapture then so be it it only means I will serve my calling in the tribulation like I promised I would

I was looking up at the night sky and there was a like a huge screen
@Magenta ...
I have heard it said that when the Antichrist comes , people will be seeing him from all over the world through satellite , maybe on a huge screen...Just a thought...I have prayed many times for the Lord to just show me His feet in my dreams , I would be so happy with that , but it has not happened...Instead I tend to dream alot about my past life before I was saved , and the dreams are not always nice , especially about my exs :giggle: , because in my dreams I kind of still love them , but in reality , they make me cringe :geek:...So yes , just a peak at our Lords feet would be wonderful...

Just a peek at his feet... such a humble request yet so profound. I have had the honor of actually sitting in his lap twice I forget sometimes not many have even been able to see his feet I ask that he not only give to you what he gave me but give you tenfold that

I will praise him even more if he will allow me to serve as I so despereately want to, this fire inside me burns so intensely but I can do nothing with it at the moment he just keeps telling me to wait. But you see I have a feeling that my calling is coming to it's fruition or at least it is drawing closer perhaps only a year or two more or perhaps if I am lucky this year either way it is not far off

earlier this week I had a dream that I was in the tribulation I didn't know if I had missed the rapture or if it had even happened I was watching myself from a third person perspective and was wondering this to myself as I was watching myself, I saw that I was different I was like a mighty warrior I was filled to the brim with the power and spirit of God and was doing mighty works in God's name and for his will and purpose all who came against me could not stand a man who I did not know came running at me to kill me and before he could get to me a powerful voice commanded him to kneel and he did I didn't really enjoy this but the voice commanded it so I accepted it and then the sky opened up and God's love came shooting down like a beam into me from the sky without limit. To best describe this it was as if the church was gone or at least the church age had passed the works and wonders done were not for the church and I feel as if I was not alone in this either like God had set for himself a chosen people to walk in his power and spirit like in the days of pentecost.
I have been not shared this dream with anyone yet but I am hoping to find some answers here I am not the best at interpreting my own dreams.

Then there was this one at the beginning of this year which appeared to me in the form of moving paintings.

revelation 12
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:


2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.


3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.


4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.


5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.


6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.


7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,


8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.


9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

I saw everything you read here it stopped at this part of the verse but they were moving paintings all at the beginning of this year I felt a very strong sense of seriousness about it.
My understanding is that we go thru the tribulation judgments (the first 3.5 years), and this is where your warrior ministry will be most needed.

Perhaps God is telling you, you need to prepare for it rather than believe you'll escape it.

Yes if this is true then that would make sense with the prewrath theory, personally for me the rapture is not an escape it is merely the only way aside from death I can finally have him in my arms and I desperately want him in my arms. Though sadly I cannot say everyones motives are the same I have seen many see the rapture as an escape either from this world and it's hardships or the tribulation and yes while this world is indeed very hasrh non know more so than most than me the reason for the rapture should be that of a lover longing for the love of their life.

But if what you say is true it may sound kind of bad but I say let it happen I have been waiting and at the ready antsy with anticipation it is becoming increasingly hard to remain patient

It seems from the first dream you are afraid or anxious to step out of churchianity and into the world and to bring the truth to the world about God, or to put it another way, to step into the battlefield. Yet if you will forsake the churches and step out into the world in the faith of Jesus, then God will be with you for he is a God that is alive and has power, and he will protect you and you will find your true armor and your true nobility if you do this.

As for your second dream which seems to be just you are reading Revelation 12 and trying to understand it. This is an event that will happen about midway through the Book of the Revelation. It is about Satan. First a sign will appear in the heavens which depicts and retells the ancient prophecy about Satan, and his many headed beast kingdom, and the Virgin Bride, God's Kingdom, and the coming of the Son of Man, Jesus. After this sign is shown in the heavens then will the dragon and the angels he has seduced over the ages make a war in heaven against God's angels, and like he always does, Satan will lose and be thrown to the earth and barred from ever entering heaven again. It will be a day when the inhabitants of heaven rejoice, but a day of woe to the earth for on that day the Devil will be come down to the earth and he will be full of wrath because he will understand on that day that his life is short, and we see in the next chapters he pours out all his last desperate wiles. Don't worry too much about Satan for now., for this thing is still a ways off and many great signs which cannot be missed or misconstrued will occur before this so that one can know the time approaches. It is enough to know that no matter what the Devil does he is in an ultimate sense bound to destiny and he will never escape this destiny which curse was put on him in the Garden. Satan and his whole army will be utterly defeated by our King Jesus. God will kill Satan and the Lamb will have his Virgin Bride and the Father will dwell in the midst of his Kingdom with his children completely safe and full of love for all of eternity, amen.

As one who is in the same boat as Blain, let me assure you he is NOT afraid to step out of churchianity. If anything, we seem to be a little too eager to do something God has said it's not quite time for!

Think of when Paul wanted to go to Asia and God said not yet, they're not ready. Waiting sucks lol!

If this is so, then this is good. But what are you all waiting for? God has decreed this is the Decade of Decisions, Four Shameful Generations are to be tried against the Four Sore Judgements of the Lord God. Go, tell all the shameful generations about how and why the mighty God who lives forever is judging them.

And what is the scriptural reference that confirms it?
Much of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and 2 Kings.

Nevertheless, this isn't really what confirms it. What confirmed it to me was seeing the First Judgement come to pass and now the Second Judgement beginning.
