The Vial of Lavender Oil

In the dream of April 12, 2012, the strangest detail (to me) was the part about the vial of lavender oil. In the dream scenario, this was clearly associated with the death of a Christian.

The Bible actually confirms this as a type.

Lavender is mentioned in the Bible five times, but it is called

Spikenard

In the New Testament it is found in this 'memorial" passage about the alabaster box that is broken -

from Mark 14:3
"And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box oof ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head."

and

from John 12:3
"Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment"

After she is rebuked by Judas and others for the seemingly costly waste, the Lord Jesus comes swiftly to her defense with this statement from Mark 14:8-9 ...

"She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her."

I take that as an exciting Bible confirmation of a specific detail in the dream. Lavendar is associated with death (of the Lord).

it is also noteworthy that the three Old Testament verses that contain Spikenard' are all in the book of the Bride, the Song of Solomon (Songs).
