FYI. Those who do not have any musical education may not be able to comprehend this dream concerning a 7[SUP]th[/SUP] chord.
I had a dream last night. After awaking I laid there for a time trying to understand the dream because usually I cannot remember what I dreamed, but this one got my attention like a few others that I have had. So this is the setting.
I found myself in a music store admiring very unique instruments, designed with antique qualities and black in color. Some instruments were familiar, and some were such as I had never seen before. In the corner was something that appeared like a piano, but I didn't actually see the keyboard. It was upright, square, but the design was impeccable, with astounding beauty. It appeared to be made from iron, crafted with intricate designs of perfection all around. At a distance I was unable to appreciate its finite details, but it drew my total attention, resembling nothing like I have ever have seen before in my entire life.
A lady that was employed at the store walked toward me smiling, and said “I see that this instrument has mesmerized you with its beauty.” I acknowledged with a smile. She had long black hair that matched the color of her modest long black dress she was waring made from fine twined silk. While walking toward this musical instrument she turned to me stated, “It is beautiful but it has a flaw and doesn't play right.” Then she added, “I'll show you.”
She began to play the song “Faith is the victory.” It sounded real good until the chorus began. She had played a seventh note with the first chord that doesn't belong with the beginning of the word faith in the chorus. She stopped playing, and said, “This happens all the time, and this instrument never plays this song right at this precise spot every time.” It was obvious to me that this wasn't a flaw in the musical instrument but rather a flaw in the way she played the chord progression.
Seven is the number of heavenly completeness, but the seventh note doesn't work (being alone) with first mention of faith in the chorus. (James 2:17) Nevertheless the first mention of faith is in the number one chord of the chorus, being the first and the beginning. The seventh note added to a chord progression always indicates that there is more music that must follow. The next word in the chorus is “victory,” and the tune demands a seventh note for the fullness of the musical composition. So the completion of the heavenly comes with “victory” and then the fullness of “faith” follows, also played with the seventh note by adding “victory” to “faith.” Then at the ending of that simple progression, even before the song is finished, “victory” is played with the first major chord that the song began with.
I corrected the lady dressed in black as the other customers in the store started to listen to our conversation. After she was able to comprehend where the mistake was, I sat down to another piano and began to play the chorus with her and all the people in the store sang along. The next seventh note was played just before the finishing of the song as we all sang the word “overcomes.” The three part harmony was the most beautiful that I had ever heard coming from common folk. When we had finished the song the rejoicing, shouting, and clapping created an atmosphere that caused the blackness to be totally overwhelmed by the joyous atmosphere.
