I don't think this was a dream as I'm convinced I was awake . First thing on the morning , hadn't opened my eyes yet but could hear the rain on my window . Small star of David in my vision . Two golden triangles forming it , just like on the flag but golden not blue . It was there in front of my eyes for quite a long time . It made me feel awesome , a beautiful gift that reminded me to whom I belong . These little tokens from God r so precious and comforting and encouraging .
I had been graced with a vision when I was young, and I'll never forget the exact day to the hour, not quite 33 years ago. Four faces of an ox, a man, a lion, and an eagle and the wheel within a wheel was among the things I saw, along with a horse racing at full speed with its rider which was preceded by the right hand of the Lord that sent him out.

Such a powerful vision. From Ezekiel's telling it sounds like you saw what he saw>>

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the color of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

It's the beginning of a great adventure story for Ezekiel-- kind of a "how I became a prophet" tell-all.
It should be a made for TV "tell-a-vision" series, for then this messenger speaks to Ezekiel and gives him a scroll to eat and with the word of God taken in, Ezekiel goes out with God's blessing and encouragement to speak His words as a messenger himself on earth.

It's explained in detail how it works.... From that day on, the spirit entered Ezekiel, stood him upon his feet and spoke to him from within. Ezekiel's words were no longer his own, rather it was the spirit within him speaking the words of God.

I'd say it was a synopsis of what Ezekiel saw (just the faces, in profile and in succession as I was looking at them like crowds drifting across the sky, followed by the wheel. I wasn't familiar enough with the Bible att to know exactly who saw this, I was only aware that it was someone, like Daniel, in the OT. I was given this vision when I looked toward the east as, of course, I'd heard tell that this was the direction we'd ultimately see His coming but, I approached that endeavor with a genuine humility, and admittance that I was either being a fool or... genuinely offering... something? Even if it was just an honest seeking, seeking even while I didn't know nor ever could know by will alone. Those faces and the wheel were an answer to my question something like, 'which God am I to believe in? and how can I know Him?' but those were only a few images among all those I was shown. And it wasn't long that I found myself saying, "... I saw you coming..." of all the faces I saw "face to face"... but the most exciting thing about it all is, in the succession of these faces I was shown and met in the flesh... I wasn't compelled to lower my eyes in worship...that is, not until I saw the last face! It was as if I received a private screening of a debut blockbuster film, figuratively speaking, with all the elation and joy and.... I'm certain I have a pretty good idea of the experience of the feeling of rapture at His return.

And now, the important, but difficult question...

Do you understand what you saw?

I saw perfect love, but that is as easy to explain as it is to believe.
I like that. The tendency over centuries and now millennia is to try to interpret what folks like to think of as symbolism contained within such dreams. The tetramorph (four-faced-figure) in particular has drawn much attention, with many absolutely insisting that these four faces represent the four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These ideas were put forward so long ago and became so widely accepted that you seem them depicted in art from the first century. It's yet another example of an idea folks adopt without real reason, proposed as a supposition, accepted as a fact. Another similar circumstance are these four horses where a concept has been spoon-fed and gobbled up like pablum to babies that never grow up-- they just return day after day, year after year for more of the same.

Those who share the light are lights in the darkness. They are few today, but they will continue shining that Light for the wandering lost.

This one is difficult to explain in detail, but conceptually it has incredibly strong archetypes.

The scene had the look and feel of an amusement park-- like dollar-store-disneyland in that it was full of people having fun and enjoying everything, but there was no real sophistication or elaborate technology involved. Just simple amusements, like water slides and little trains for kids to ride on, that sort of thing. Like a small-town heritage park setting.

And in this place there was a stream that flowed and people would put little yellow rubber ducks in the stream and the kids would run alongside the ducks as they navigated their way down the stream around various obstacles. At some point along the way, there were black ravens released also into this stream and the ravens gave chase to the ducks. It all seemed to be great fun and people were watching, participating in this duck race with enthusiasm. I watched those who were watching and followed a few of them down to what seemed to be the end of the road, so to speak, for the ducks... Ducks and ravens alike all ended up in the same place, in a small pool all mixed together, and at this end- the children would run back up the little hill toward the start of the stream, giggling and skipping along.

But I stayed by the pool and watched as there was a small current flowing through it and the collection of ducks and ravens slowly moved from one end of the pond to the other where they floated in a mass. From there, they were channeled toward the edge of a small cliff where there was a mechanism like a ferris wheel with little scoops that rotated, picking up ducks and ravens as it turned. It interested me that no one else bothered to look at this device or concerned themselves with how the ducks and ravens were returned to the place where they started at the mouth of the stream.

As I watched, a duck was scooped up, and then a raven, a raven and then a duck and they were lifted up from the water which poured out from little drain holes in each scoop as they rotated around this wheel from the bottom to the top. At the top, the scoops turned upside down and both ducks and ravens were dumped out of the scoops, with the ravens falling onto a little conveyor belt that carried them back up the hill. The ducks however were collected in a row and one by one fell head first into a funnel of sorts, where a sharp blade promptly cut their heads off and both parts fell down the face of this cliff in the waterfall, never to be seen again.

My Dream after praying for help and understanding was the following: I was at a mountain lodge on the shore of a lake.
There were many vacationers ther, and on the lake there were people in pleasure boats, and some people water skiing and waving as the skied by.
I was told to enter into a car. I started to enter n the drive's side,, but I was told sternly not to enter that side but the shotgun side.. I did, and there were many people in the car seated in the back.
Then several types of highways appeared , some freeways, some interstate, two lane, dirt ,etc. Then the Driver informed me saying, ,"You will be taking this road.
It was a dark, dirt road with ruts and winding up a mountain, a very dark mountain.
Finally, in a very foreboding voice, the Driver said, "There will b no trees on this road."

This was in 1969, and there have been no trees, yet all has been and looks to be well, for I bilevel the light will be at the summit of the mountain.

It behooves me to believe that all who have the truth inscribed on the fleshy tablet of the heart are indeed my family. My family is enormous.

Indeed, we are a part of a very large family. But to be specific-- how many children do you have?

“Let the name of God be praised forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to him.
He changes times and seasons, deposing some kings and establishing others.
He gives wisdom to the wise; he imparts knowledge to those with understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things.
He knows what is in the darkness, and light resides with him."



'This little light of mine.... I'm gonna let it shine.'
