Interested readers -

i don't hardly ever dream, but when i do i take notice because God can and does at times speak to His people in dreams.

i had a horrendous, short, nightmarish dream in the middle of the night recently, which i know has a Biblical basis in certain details:

*********

i was in a two story house but not my own. i was on the second floor and someone standing in shadow was yelling at me about something and going on and on about it. i didn't want to listen any more ot it.

i left the room to go downstairs. as i did i heard this loud horrendous noise that went on for about 10 seconds. this is exactly what it sounded like (precisely): take every pot or pan in your kitchen, plus metal cookie sheets, baking pans , tops etc and throw them down the stairs all at the same time. an extremely loud clamor and clang that moved. it scared me to death.

i followed the sound as it went down a set of stairs to the lower floor. my point of view was behind myself, i.e. i saw myself go down the stairs from the back. my point of view was at the top of the stairs, and i watched myself walk quickly down the stairs. at the bottom of the stairs was total darkness. there was no door,. the stairs were wide and the was a start and stop line to the darkness. the darkness started when the last step met the lower floor about 12 inches out from the face of the bottom step. the carpet color on the floor was light green, and i was wearing a light green shirt with a check or plaid pattern on it. i could see nothing in the darkness. the stairway entrance was about 10 feet wide. the darkness was pitch black. it had a peculiar sense of being 'thick', like a room full of very dense black smoke, but almost solid.

i 'joined myself' so to speak, running down the stairs and i stood at the bottom of the steps, on the floor and peered into the darkness. the darkness went right up to my toes. looking in, to the right. i had the distinct impression that the darkness area was not off limits to me but that i could easily step across from where i was. again, there was no door or entrance mechanism that barred my way.

i had no interest in going into the darkness though, after what i then heard, which seriously scared me to death.

i heard the sound of many grown men (no female voices), crying, moaning and groaning non-stop in the darkness. i could see nothing and no one. there was no light at all. the light from the stairway area did not illumine this darkness area whatsoever.(a normal room at the bottom of the stairs, say in a basement would at least have residual light cast into the area). the cries of the men were mournful, undulating, low pitched, and moaning. some sounded kind of like an animal in pain. there were no words articulated. i did not hear anyone call for help, or anything like that. it is possible, though, that they saw me. i was convinced they were human, but something was inhuman about the sounds. it terrified me. i quickly turned to go up the stairs in the dream and then i woke up. i immediately started praying to God to deliver me from the extreme fear, and to remove the image from my mind. it really shook me up. i vowed not to go back to sleep as i was seriously afraid i might re-enter the dream.

this praying went on for 5 minutes, as i was now awake and keeping track of time. i said to myself something like, 'something bad has happened'. my previous dream about an unknown american (turned out to be Reagan) dying, the 12/13 incident about Saddam etc and the visions of 12/97 schooled me into paying attention when incidents like this happen.

then, my house phone rang.

i had to go downstairs into the darkness to answer the phone, which i personally dreaded answering.

someone i knew was calling to tell me about another person's death about 10 minutes earlier.

******************

i'm sure the men in the darkness were 'Lost.' i knew this when i woke from the dream. i was hearing the eternal cries of the souls of men who have died without Jesus and were now unmercifully alive in the 'outer darkness', without the light of God, without the light of men, without natural light or the light of the Love of God. the whole incident horrified me. it made me seriously nauseated and frightened.

in Revelation 6 the Four Horsemen make their appearance. Horse number Four, whose rider is Death, and Hell follows with him is called Pale in the KJV, and in the NASB is called Ashen. the word is Strong's # 5515g from #5514g = Chloe.

the word "Chloe" actually means Pale Green. so Death rides a Pale Green Horse, like the carpet and shirt color in the dream.

i feel like the Pale Horse ran past me on the road.

heads up unbelievers, if you're reading this:

Jesus died for you. Jesus is Lord.
