"Prophetic Dream: Response to John"


 
Hi John

Blessings to you as well! Thank you so much for your response to my post. Your insights were very helpful and opened up quite a lively discussion among our church members. We're actually still processing everything you said and trying to determine where everything might fit in. 

To make responding to your post a little easier, I will list our feedback:

1.) We agree with you that the details contained in the dream must be passed through the grid of Scripture and that there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors. If not, the dream is likely not coming from a place of integrity and/or coming from the Lord, but more so a carnal manifestation of the person's own thoughts. 

2.) We believe the Holy Spirit presents messages in a way that the receiver can understand. I seem to be blessed with a gift of prophecy, but I don't always have an interpretation for the things I experience in the Spirit realm. This is where I turn to the Body of Christ to see if the Lord has given someone else the gift of interpretation. Often He has put those answers in the hearts and minds of others. 

3.) I agree that parts 1-3 relate directly to my life and as such they've been easier for me to figure out. Others seem to think these scenes not only relate to my life, but also provide a metaphor of things to come for the remainder of the Body - being taken to Heaven, standing before Jesus, experiencing eternal rest and peace in Heaven, the wedding/reception, even being "surrounded" by children (most likely a large population in Heaven given the number who have lost their lives due to abortion, death, and/or who will be raptured). 

4.) As for the conversation the Lord was having with me, you are correct that I was still working to complete the assignment He had given me at the time of the dream. So, this scene seemed to be given as a comfort to me, specifically letting me know everything would be ok. Thankfully, I've since completed this assignment, and the weight of the responsibility I once felt has been lifted off of me. 

A friend also pointed out that the position of the Lord in this scene at the 2-3pm mark, matches the phase of the moon on the 28th when the moon went blank. They questioned if this was a signal marking RH or the Fall Feast Days as the time when we are taken from the earth. I'm not sure about this as Israel has since see the new moon and RH is underway. If you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to share them. 

5.) I believe you are accurate regarding what you said about Part 2. 

"possibility of the fruits from the accomplishment of the specific "work" that Jesus had given you. You were a success." 

6.) Your assessment of Part 3 is accurate as well in several ways, but there are some things that I need to clarify, some we differ with, and some new insights I'd like to share. You said:
In "Part Three," we find you still in heaven, but I believe we begin to establish a time frame. 
We agree that this establishes a time frame. When the man (whom I believe was my grandfather) approached, it was clear he was warning of this timing issue with his sobering look, his countenance, the act of staring down at the clock in his hand and then back at me, and with his solemn words. Some think this warning was symbolic of the RH shofar blast of warning. I'm not sure. ???
Your grandparents are approaching a "Temple," heading to a wedding or a wedding reception. This would give most Christians the impression of the wedding feast of Jesus with his bride. 
Let me clarify this a bit. Although I was standing at this door, about to go through it, when these people (my grandparents) came down the sidewalk from the right and left, it was very clear to me that they were not heading in the same direction I was - through this door. So, I don't want to leave you or anyone else with the impression that by going through this door we were going into the Temple or into the wedding together. The wedding they were going to seemed to be taking place somewhere altogether different in Heaven, where I'm not sure. They had simply stopped for a moment in time to speak to me on their way to this event. 
Your grandfather asks, "Are you coming?" "You know, it's almost time." Most Christians would jump at that opportunity to attend. But your "thoughts," said, "I'm not ready yet." Why weren't you ready at that time? I think the answer is simply that you haven't yet completed the "specific work," that Jesus assigned to you." 
a. As far as not being ready, I don't think I was unprepared because I hadn't completed the work Jesus assigned me to do. I say this, because the work He had given me to do was not on my mind at all. This leads me to think that my comment was a reference to something else. 
b. We now realize that this scene contradicts the verse of Scripture that says, "And being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Christ Jesus." (Phil 1:6) So, the work I was assigned would clearly have been done.
c. We now think that I was representing another group - those whose "works" were not complete on the Day of Christ Jesus; whose works may not have been in Christ at all; and/or who were looking to have their works save them rather than God's grace. The key word in your statement above is "Christians". It's true, legitimate Christians would jump at the chance to go into the Wedding Feast. But, it seems more likely that I was there representing those who have "tasted the Heavenly gift," i.e., experienced Christ/Heaven, who have turned back to the world in the Great Falling Away. 
d. This would in essence make the "door" I saw, not the door to the Temple, but a transition point of falling from grace back into a state of unbelief, legalism, or a lifestyle of sin. This seems to be the last sign prior to the rapture with various people now ironically renouncing their faith in Christ and belief in Christianity. This likely lines up with your thoughts on the Church of Laodicea as well, but we believe this group will also include members of 6 of the 7 churches, with the exception of the Church of Philadelphia, which will be spared.   
e. After I thought "I'm not ready yet," the dream switched, and THEN I was back on the earth. The thought was what translated me back to the earth. I never actually saw myself go through any door. One minute I was standing in front of this door, and the next minute I was on earth in a high tower, looking out an open air window. So, just to clarify, I didn't enter a "3rd Temple" in Heaven.
7.) Once I was back on earth, I do believe I was standing in a high tower in the newly rebuilt 3rd Temple, even though I was not shown, and did not see any of the items you mentioned - the alter, washbasin, etc. I'm not sure why these things were not visible except to say that perhaps they were not relevant to what God was communicating to me, as I wasn't turned inward toward the Temple, but looking outward into the Heavens, almost regrettably, for an answer. At this point, it seems I was looking for His return, i.e., His 2nd Coming. (I also recently saw a video of a model of the 3rd Temple and when the camera man panned around the building, I saw the open air windows matching what I saw in my dream. I will attempt to find the video and forward it to you guys.)
8.) I agree with your statement and definitely think this marks time on the prophetic calendar with a newly rebuilt Temple. 
"I believe that the more appropriate interpretation would be along the lines of, this was a relatively new (rebuilt) "Temple" established around the time of the (antichrist) third Temple in Jerusalem. "Part Three," is primarily about the timing." 
9.) As for Part 4 - I don't think I was in a "prayer tower" reaching into the Heavens. Please see response to #7.
But here she states that it, "seemed more like a tower." The "very high, upper level floor," had a very large open window. Could this "Temple" actually be also a "watchtower," or a "prayer tower" reaching into the heavens?
10.) I agree with the verses you listed here, but I now think I was there representing someone calling out to God, perhaps an unbeliever or a new Saint in the Tribulation/Great Trib, where every reference to Christianity would be removed and God, Himself, would have to instruct me. There would be no Bibles, pastors, or church members to relate to or learn from. Thus, it seems I was looking into the Heavens reaching out to Him myself and He answered with a spectacular response. 
A "Temple" is a location where you commune with God, worship and present your sacrifices (animal sacrifices, sacrifice of prayer, incense, etc.). God tells us repeatedly where this should be done in Deuteronomy.
Deu 12:5 ?? But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
1Co 3:16 ?? Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
11.) Again, I want to clarify that this Temple was not in Heaven, but on earth. 
Now we would expect that there would be no structures for animal sacrifice in heaven. But this ???matching Temple??? on earth is also missing the equipment for the blood sacrifice, that is found in the (antichrist) rebuilt third Temple as typically presumed. The reason that both of these Temples on heaven and earth in this dream are not equipped for animal sacrifice, is because these Temples no longer require this.
12.) Just to clarify, I think there was a switch in emphasis at this point in the dream, from being in the building and feeling a sense of isolation and loneliness in the 3rd Temple, by myself, as possibly a new Saint in the Trib/Great Trib, back to seeing Something that brought peace and hope, which many others apparently also saw. 
This could be where the Lord was sending a message of encouragement to the current Believers on earth, who are patiently awaiting the rapture, saying in essence "I am coming!" 
Or it could be that quite literally God wrote a history lesson of the last 2000 years in the sky for this person to see as an answer to their prayer. 
She was alone in this "Temple," (where God has placed his name) and yet her spirit was communicating with other people.
"I was standing there completely alone. I had no sense of anyone else being with me or around me. In my spirit, I felt a feeling of endless wondering and waiting, as though I was staring out into the night looking for some sort of answer." ....
"Immediately, I exclaimed, "Look! Did you see that?!???"
"I'm not sure whom I was speaking to when I said this, because I did not see anyone with me. But, in my spirit, I heard the excitement of many other people that I knew were seeing the very same thing I saw."
---------------------------
As for the remainder of your post, we are still discussing these ideas, and praying about them, and will continue our response in our next post. 
Thank you for your insights and thoughts. We greatly appreciate it. Please continue to pray the Lord will reveal the exact meaning of this dream to all of us going forward. Thank you, again. 

God bless you!
