Dream with 88

@notmyown aka mom I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude or anything

why is this in the scripture?

oh, honey, of course i know that! i wouldn't have mentioned it had i known it would upset you, and please do trust the Scriptures! above all, keep trusting in our Lord Jesus. He'll never fail you.

i understand you've been suffering a great deal, and i may be wrong, but it seems to me you're trying to find meaning in all of it. i understand that, too.

so, if you're cool with it, i'll just go back to praying for you, as indeed i have been all year. please don't think of me not responding to your posts as rejection of any kind, though, okay? ♥

i'm right here if ever you need me.

i do love you, Blain. i always will.
Numbers 6:24-26

why is this in the scripture?

666 in the book of revelations is to CONFIRM a prophecy about the beast .

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I do not have this wisdom or understanding, This is my reasonable interpretation, that this wisdom and understanding will be given when this beast will rise in the end times as is written in the peophecy.

As for dream interpretation it is given by GOD and has a purpose, see the book of Daniel 1 and 2 for full context here is an example;

Dan 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Dan 2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast nowmade known unto us the king's matter.

Blessings.

and the wise are told to calculate the number - yet more proof i am not wise, but it serves to illustrate that there "is" a legitimate numerology in the Bible

God created math, and His book is full of numbers, none of them insignificant - they are part of scripture. another example is the 153 fish at the end of John's gospel - why tell. us this specifically? and the measurements of the temple and the tabernacle, they have a significance.

i agree that there are clearly illegitimate numerologies that amount to divination, but i wanted to be careful not to write off the idea of meaning behind math completely.

OF course, the subject has wound my cognitive gears up and began with the possibility of "osm' since the vav , that has the value of 6, often indicates an "O" sound, samech has a value of 60, and the sofit, or 'final' form of "mem" is 600, but I rejected that since it sounds like it might be "osama" but that would need an additional letter, either the aleph or the heh. But then, I thought, perhaps, there is an additional letter in that particular name that would include letters that add up to 6, like the heh, 5, and the aleph, 1, and thereby that possibility and sounding out, aleph, heh, samech, mem, I stumble upon something that sounds much like, "hashem" (though I'm pretty sure that is spelled with a 'shin' rather than a 'samech'). Sooo, with that I type in hashem and the engine retrieves an article about 'hashemites' who are believed to be descendants of the grandfather of Muhammed....

Can you prove my dream was not from God? if not then why do you make fun?

I don't have to disprove anything; you're the one making the claim, it's on you to prove it's from God. So far all I've heard is ridiculous nonsense.

The dream wasn't addressed to anyone else but Blain, so why should it matter to anyone else who it was from?

Then he took it public on a forum thread.

*shrug

Now he gets opinions from the public.

I thought the mocking was a bit much, but the rest is quite normal. If he didn't want people's opinions (I assume) he would not have posted the dream on a public forum. Personally I'm not going to lie and tell him something I don't think is true, so I'm telling him I think it was just another dream.

I've had a lot of dreams that were strange, and though most were easily dismissed as pizza sauce some weren't so 'forgettable' that seemed to used symbolism, even if I couldn't readily understand it. Like if I go into a church or house and it has no ceiling, it seems to me that pizza sauce would know that houses have ceilings...

Ever start critiquing a dream for things that don't add up, while you're dreaming it? "No way, he does NOT act like that. I refuse to believe he could act like that. This has to be a dream, or I'm watching a TV show, or something, but I call bull."
