"I can recall three stories in the Scripture
concerning boats/ships at sea that were in deadly storms; and
in which no one ever died.....not one.
1) The saga of Jonah--this storm had to do
with his disobedience.
2) The story of the Disciples being caught
out on the Sea of Galilee--this storm had to do with testing.
3) The account of the Apostle Paul's ship
caught in the 14 day storm--this storm had to do with Faith."
"Interesting that Scripture of yours (1Timothy
1:18-20) containing a portion of the letter from Paul to Timothy
also speaks about Faith and shipwreck, so obviously there is a lesson
to be learned from Paul's ship wreck story, which is found in Acts,
Chapter 27.
Paul also mentioned in your Timothy Scripture
about Faith and a "good conscience", in which he tied the two together.
Paul seems also to directly link those
two terms (Faith and a good conscience), or the lack of them with
blasphemy.
And if you remember, the other day I linked
a conscience that has been seared with a hot iron as also having to do
with blasphemy.
So I think that there is a factor involving
the conscience, that has to do with blasphemy, that can even involve an
undiscerning Christian."
"As far as Mr. Justin's dream; it's strange
that everybody dies on that particular dream ship in direct opposition
of the Bibles accounts of zero casualties.
So if the dream has any meaning at
all, it probably goes to represent these last days version of Christianity
and to where it has gotten to in spiritual terms.
That being that Christianity today is being
tested and is being found to be more in disobedience than in
Faith; which speaks to spiritual death more than to spiritual
life. And in which blasphemy in all facets concerning the
Lord Jesus, seems to be on the increase, and also seems to be more and
more acceptable, among more and more Christian's; and this is exactly
why most (U.S.) Christian's living today will be cast into the ship
wreck known as the great tribulation to die.
And interestingly, most Christian's today also
appears to be more lukewarm than ever, to the extent that they don't seem
to try to understand Scripture, or to even have a basic interest
in trying to understand it; and as a consequence they don't know
what to think about much of anything concerning it, for good or for
bad, which is giving the occasion for all kinds of heresy's being
passed off as Christianity today; one such example being the blasphemous teaching
now being passed around that satan can heal, which is in total
opposition to the Word Scripture of the Lord God.
(The next thing you'll hear from some
of these foolish people is that satan is love or something
like that)
So yeah, today's spiritually lukewarm Laodicean's
= U.S. Christian's (among others)--is primed to be caught up into a very
mighty tribulation ship wreck.
That's at least what the Holy Ghost is
speaking to me."
I thought that was an excellent interpretation
of the dream. Although Paul's ship wreck in Acts 27 also did come
to mind when I read your dream, I certainly couldn't figure out why
the believers in your dream were dying. However, the Laodicean type
Christian of today being cast into the great tribulation period to
die certainly fits the dream perfectly. He's like the foolish
man whose house had no foundation (Matthew 7:26-27, Luke 6:49), and when
the floods came and the winds blew, it fell down. His faith had
no foundation on the word of God, and is not based or anchored on it.
He is tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14), and
is falling away from the faith. If he doesn't repent of his sins,
he will be cast into the great tribulation period to die.
It is also interesting to note that the temptous wind
that caused Paul's ship wreck in Acts 27:14 was called Euroclydon which
means "storm from the East." There were also Koreans in your dream
who come from the East as well.
I would also agree that blasphemy is a sin; and
in the case of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, our Lord Jesus had the
following to say:
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All
manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall
not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Mark 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall
be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they
shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
God bless you,
