Then a third dream started. In this third dream, I was in Texas. I was again inside of a building looking out of a window. (I find it interesting that in many of my prophetic dreams, I am looking out of a window when God reveals the glimpse.)
I was looking east. I saw the Houston Astrodome appear before me.
Then, I looked a little to the north of the Astrodome, and I saw Joel Osteen’s Church.
It was empty. There were no people inside of it. The stage was empty.
As I was looking at these two things, I noticed that I
had two or three people in the room with me also looking
out of the window. I am not sure who they were.
As I continued to look at Joel Osteen’s church, I
noticed that I had a pair of binoculars hanging around
my neck. I picked them up and looked through them in the
same direction.
But, when the binoculars came to my eyes, the scene
changed. The Astrodome disappeared, the church
disappeared.
Instead, a new view appeared before me. I saw a train
that was in motion. It appeared right in front of me. It
was coming towards me.
The binoculars made the train appear closer than it
really was.
As I looked at the train, I asked the people in the
room, “Hey, do you guys see the train coming?”
They said, “What are you talking about? We don’t
see anything.”
I pointed in front of me and said, “It is right
there!”
They said, “Nathan, we do not see a train.”
The train had two red engines that were pulling a very
long load. I watched it as it began to move faster. As
it gained speed, I became concerned because it did not
seem to be traveling safely.
It seemed to be going 80 to 100 miles per hour!
I said, “You guys, do you see what’s happening?”
Derailed
Then suddenly, as the train could no
longer control its speed, it left the tracks. It began
to derail.
Alongside the train was the regular highway. When the
train derailed it bounced towards the highway and
continued to move along the street. As it did, it
scraped the pavement. The heavy steel of the train began
to make violent sparks as it tore along the asphalt and
concrete. There was a loud sound of screaming metal that
punished my ears!
As I watched through the binoculars, I became
overwhelmed with grief and sorrow.
I said to the people next to me, “You guys! This is
a catastrophe! The train is crashing!”
I began to weep!
They said, “Nathan, we don’t see it. There is no
train there. We don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I lowered the binoculars and looked out the window. Sure
enough, when I lowered the binoculars, there was nothing
there. But then, when I put the binoculars back to my
eyes, the scene continued.
I suddenly realized that the binoculars in my hand were
a prophetic tool from God that allowed the viewing of
glimpses of things that had not yet happened! I
understood!
I continued to look at the vision. The train with two
red engines continued in its violent crash. The engine
and all of the railcars began to jack knife along the
highway.
Suddenly the street under the train began to buckle and
slither up and down in a wavy motion.
I cried and wept even more because I feared for the
victims of this tragedy!
In an instant and unexpectedly, behind the train, there
was an explosion.
It was massive. I saw a mushroom cloud! Through the smoke and fire, I could see a city burning.
Since I was looking through prophetic binoculars, I am
not sure if I was still looking at the general vicinity
of Houston, Texas. I am not sure where it was. But, a
city behind the train burned. There were buildings
burning. There was a fireball. It was a terrible
catastrophe. I was overwhelmed at the spectacle.
Then the dream was over.
