Dear John and Doves,

 

I wanted to share a recurring dream that I had some years ago.   I dreamed this dream at least two, maybe three nights in a row. (sorry, now can't recall) .  It has been the strangest experience I've ever had, and believe the Holy One may want me/us to understand it's meaning.  (I've never shared this experience before publicly.)

 

In the dream, I was actually a different person.

I felt my being inside of the body of another.  I had an overwhelming sense of grief, all consuming.

 

I began wailing deep wails and groaning!  I then began to pull the hair from my head and then from my beard!  (Yes, beard.  I am a female, so you see how strange this dream was!)

I then cried out, "Where are those who fear the Word of The Lord???"  Over and over I cried this in deep despair.

 

After this, I would awake.  I wouldn't be able to shake the weight of the grief of this man.   I could only recall the story of Job and thought that this must have been about him.  I remembered his grief and how he pulled the hair from his head.  But, after I search the scripture, I realized that Job didn't mention pulling the hair from his beard. I searched on.  Who was this man?  I then finally came upon Ezra.   

Ezra 9 speaks of Ezra being in great despair over the intermingling of the peoples with heathens which God had commanded them not to do.  It was also just before Nehemiah sat down and wept and mourned for the temple walls and gates that lay in ruin and was a reproach to the peoples and to their God.

My dream was almost identical to what Ezra felt and said concerning the peoples transgressions to God's laws.

I would love to have the input of any Doves who see/hear what this may mean in the times we are living.  Is there any significance for Israel and the temple wall? 

Blessings!
