I had an amazing dream last night of getting READY all night for my WEDDING!
Here's the thing though, I was marrying the SAME husband I originally married when
we were young, but yet I wasn't, and I've only been married ONCE in my life and so
has he - to each other.
 
Well, he was also getting ready and he was marrying me again, but he wasn't.
We both knew we were marrying again to each other, but at the same time,
we weren't! And we weren't confused or upset about the fact at all -- though
I know it sounds like it makes no sense at all, right?  It just seemed "normal"
to us. Well, we were both YOUNG again just like we were when we married
the first time many years ago. I remember looking in a mirror in the dream and
I was young again!   I remember a lady coming to the wedding
(she was my husband's aunt who died several years ago) with a gift for us.
She handed me a wad of ONE dollar bills from her hand (ha-ha! Big spender,
eh?) She seemed kind of embarrassed because that was all she had to give
as a wedding gift. Maybe 4 or 5 dollars? I'm not sure, I didn't count it, but that
was what it looked like.  I went and placed it on a table with other wedding "gifts"
and most of them were simply cash gifts.
 
Well, the wedding was supposed to be at 2 pm. My husband-to-be was joking about
how he had intended to wear the SAME outfit he wore at our first wedding, but
when he went to put it on, it had dry-rotted (I know this is really strange), so he
had rushed out to buy a new outfit (concerned that he might be late). I told him
not to worry because he thought the wedding was going to be at noon, but I
told him no - it was about 2 o'clock so he had around 2 hours and figured he
could take his time and not be so rushed. He got back in time, but the dream
ended before  we actually went to the front of the church for the ceremony.
(The alarm went off  or I would have finished the dream.) This young girl was
in the dream and she appeared to be about 12 (I thought after I woke up that
maybe it was our daughter, but I'm not sure --her face was fuzzy) and she kept
grabbing my hands and looking into my face and saying, "I just wanted to
see you face-to-face one more time because you are so beautiful!"
(She did this several times in the dream) And  when she said that, I turned
around and looked in the mirror and thought to myself, "hmmm.....I don't
think I'm even cute or pretty, let alone beautiful - what's she looking at anyway?"
 
Another thing, there was this irritating character in the dream that kept trying to
fix me up and improve my looks. He thought (for example) that my teeth were not
straight enough and he was trying to put caps on them to make them more perfect
(and to pull out my old teeth) and I kept pushing him away and telling him that
I did not need that and didn't want all that. I know, it's bizarre, right? (One thing
in my life I was gifted with was perfectly STRAIGHT teeth, no braces needed,
thank God - because my parents would never have been able to afford them
anyway! We were poor and there were 7 of us) So, he was trying to "fix"
something that wasn't broken to begin with.
 
I realized when I woke up that what we were getting ready for was the marriage
of the LAMB! It made sense because the BRIDE of Christ is made up of
men AND women, Jews AND Gentiles, many of whom are married to each other
on this earth, to be swept up into heaven for the heavenly marriage at the trump
of God to His SON! And of course Jesus said that we are as the "angels" in heaven
and are not given in marriage (not to EACH other that is!) just to the LAMB!!!!  Also, I
prayed for many years for my unsaved husband who finally did get saved about 3
years ago. I thought maybe that tattered old wedding outfit he wore the first time was a
picture of the old nature (the old man - if you will) and the NEW outfit he was
getting for this wedding was a picture of putting on the NEW man - the new man in
Christ Jesus. Just my take. I don't know the significance of the 2 hours time frame.
