"Three Dreams About the Lord's Soon Coming  (from Neil Lipken)"


A little over a month ago one night around midnight our pooch wanted out to do her stuff.  While outside I took the opportunity to pray out loud (which I like to do when humans are not around).  I asked the Lord if He is really coming VERY, VERY SOON--I believe that I said in that prayer "very, very soon and not 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 years from now (or longer)".  I then took the pooch back inside the house (she was doing her stuff while I was praying), and went back to sleep.  About 4 to 5:00 AM I had a dream which I was unable to remember upon waking, but I did remember that it was strongly impressed upon my consciousness during the dream that "yes, I am coming back VERY, VERY SOON!"

About two weeks after that dream, I asked the Lord again if He is coming back VERY, VERY SOON.  This time I prayed that before going to bed.  That night I had two dreams.  In the first dream I HAD LEFT HOME, and had arrived in a beautiful place that looked like a cross between Washington D.C. and ancient Rome or Greece.  There were magnificent buildings everywhere, most of them in limestone with huge pillars in front of them.  While I was "gauking" at them, my wife must have moved in the bed and woke me up--bummer!  I looked at the clock and it was 4:00 AM.  I then fell back to sleep and had a second dream.  This time I AGAIN HAD LEFT HOME, and had arrived in a beautiful place that looked like a modern college campus.  There were rolling hills and lots of beautiful buildings.  The people there told me that I WOULD BE LIVING THERE, AND THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE ME TO A PLACE THAT HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR ME TO LIVE IN.  They said that it had a spectacular view with lots of windows.  At this time in the dream I distinctly noticed that all of the trees were changing colors (fall), and that about half of the leaves had already fallen off.  The other half of the leaves that were still on the trees were in very vivid color.  The people were about to take me to that place "that had been prepared for me to live in" when, bummer again, I woke up.  Now the clock read 6:00 AM, and it was time to get up and start the day.

In light of these three dreams, despite moving now beyond two of the three fall Jewish feasts, I am still optimistic for the Rapture to happen yet this fall.  I keep thinking about the leaves in the third dream--here in Indiana that would be about the 15th to 25th of October.  Well, time will now tell!
