Hi Dave,

Thank you so much for taking a shot at interpreting the <strange> dream I had:o)) I too thought the woman was Israel. I had no idea what the chickens meant though. I am still praying about the dream...asking God what it means if it's from Him and what he wants me to do with it. I am being very careful and trying to discern if this dream is from the Lord. It seems very unique in the fact that I don't usually dream or I should say remember dreams, let alone dreaming in such great detail. I've beseeched the Lord not to allow me to be caught in a snare of the enemy or be caught up in vain imaginations. I also doubted the last 2 dreams I had, but came to realize through prayer, searching the scriptures, and speaking with other believers that they were genuinely from the Lord. In checking the scriptures, God says about the false prophets, that they prophesy peace and tell his people everything is going to be okay when things aren't okay! (paraphrase) I was relieved. Also I did see some good fruit come from sharing these previous dreams. My niece and nephew were very affected by it. Danny who's about 22 yrs. hasn't been able to sleep and he's searching his heart and seeking the Lord to see if he really is in the faith. Diana who is 18yrs old and who recently was saved said it affected her also, and moved her to pray more fervently for those of her family and friends that aren't saved. Some people of course weren't so happy about it. Don't upset the apple cart....I have plans for my future, ya know...Don't talk to me about those things....prophesy doom and gloom....

I appreciate your input very much and am pondering it in my heart. I'm also waiting on the Lord for possible further revelation. I can be inpatient at times. I realize He may want me to just wait on Him. I do not want to be a false prophet or lousy watchmen. I pray the Lord to keep me in his will and under his protection. I want to be a faithful and obedient servant. Please pray for me. Here's what I thought He may be showing me:

Future. Behind the scenes. Kings. False prophet/or strong King. I'm safe. Antichrist. 4 Kings. Peace, starving for peace. 4x6 = 10 horns. Tiny rooms = Judea and Samaria. Woman is Israel. (2 chickens = Passover, after your post). Watchmen, shout it! Enemy doesn't want me to tell. own police dept. = other believers. War w/ Asian country. Warning kids. (2 mattresses = asleep, after your post).

Dave, I perceived 4 dogs all together not 5. One was RISING.
I appreciate your help, Dave. You did give me insight into some parts of the dream that I couldn't figure for the life of me.

I don't want to run ahead of the Lord. I'll wait til I have more clarity and then ask him what he wants me to do with it.

We really need to be careful and ask for discernment. I know I do! I read some posts today that said a comet was supposed to hit the earth soon and we would only have 20 hours to move inland. The post said, that when Homeland Security changed the alert status from elevated to high/yellow, that was a warning to pack and get going. From there they said the govt. would raise it to code red giving only 6 hours to get out of harms way. The reason I bring this up is because after reading this I started to think it may be related to my dream. Chickens/yellow  paprika/red/orange....see what I mean :o)) I have to be alert, we all do and keep close to the Lord. The devil roams about seeking whom he may devour. We need to stay very close to our Father for direction and protection.

Keep looking up!
Thanks again,
In His love and grace,
Maureen

I forgot to add that I found 5765 = 2005 on the Jewish calendar. If the antichrist is about to rise, we're outta here aren't we? :o)) Let's keep looking up!
