Dear John,
I've been following your site for only about a month or so, but am hooked!  I read the new posts with it's wonderful gleanings from the Word of God and news events from around the world with great excitement.  We are truly living in the Last Days.
I would like to submit a dream that I had about 10 years ago that I've never doubted was from the Holy Spirit.   The Lord showed me the meaning of the dream which I would be happy to share.  Sadly, it continues to play itself out.  'judgment does begin at the household of God'.
Blessings!
Sweetly Broken -

Thanks for sharing. Welcome to the Doves!

I was walking along a beach on the most picture perfect day I could imagine.  The clear blue sky with the bright sun shining.  The beach seemed to stretch on as far as my eyes could see.  But, what seemed a bit strange was the beach was very wide as well.  Maybe a 1/4 mile wide or so.  I looked towards the water, which was a very good distance off, and saw a very large; stories high, sand castle.  Yes, it was made of sand, yet there were many people at it's base and actually going in and out of it's large doors and were hanging out on a second story balcony.
I watched for a few moments in disbelief.  Then my attention was turned back towards the water.  I could see a wave unlike anything I have ever seen before; truly a Tidal Wave.   The wave crashed down onto the beach and all who were on it.  Not one person who was on that beach seemed to be aware of the wave.  I felt no fear for myself, as I seemed to understand that I was an 'observer'.
 
The next scene, I am walking along the boardwalk of this same beach.  I now am holding the hand of my small niece.  We are viewing the destruction.  We see piles, upon piles of large fish washed up under the boardwalk to the bulk head.  They are of all sizes, but many were large like the size of baby whales and dolphins.  I felt such great grief.
Then as a child might do, my niece took her small foot and sort of push on one of the fish.  To our surprise, the fish made a strange squeal.  At that very moment the most horrible stench of rotting fish filled the air and we started walking on.

* I believe the wave that I saw was in the Atlantic Ocean.  I live on the East Coast and seemed to understand this.  I knew immediately when I awoke that this was a "dream from the Lord".
