The Dream

Dear Brethren

1 Thessalonians 5:4-5, “But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  You are all sons of light and sons of the day.  We are not of the night nor of darkness.  Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.”

1 Thessalonians 5:8, “But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.”

I had a dream last night, and if not for the specific instruction to share what I saw, I would have preferred to keep it to myself.  I had gone to bed late, having waited for my wife to get home from work.  After seeing that she had arrived home safely, and saying my prayers, I fell into a restful sleep.  

I dreamt that I was sleeping, when a hand touched my shoulder, and a voice I recognized said, ‘wake up.’

In my dream I opened my eyes, and my breath caught in my throat as I saw who had awakened me.  It was the same messenger, the angel I had seen on previous occasions, dressed in full battle armor, standing by the side of my bed.  

“Take my hand” he said, “I have been sent to show you something.”

I barely touched the hand that was extended toward me, when my bed and my bedroom evaporated, and I found myself standing before a white oblong building, that looked allot like a barn or a horse stable.  Two large doors made up the front of the structure, and as I looked they began to swing open.  

I knew wherever I was it was not of this earth, because everything shone, everything was white, pristine, immaculate.  

I also knew that whatever the reason was for being shown this, was about to be revealed, so I stood in silence, holding the messenger’s hand.  

As soon as the doors were fully open, I saw an angel that looked very much like the one standing beside me, except without the armor, leading a white horse by its reins.  The horse was large and muscular, but he followed the angel obediently, with its head bent low.  The angel’s countenance was somber as he led the horse away, and for some reason this registered with great clarity.  

I looked up to the messenger whose hand I was still holding, but he merely nodded toward the white building and the open doors, and said, ‘witness.’

Another angel soon appeared in the doorway, holding the reins of a red horse, following after the first.  I began to realize what I was seeing, and in silence watched as two more angels appeared, each holding the reins of a horse, one black, one of no discernable color, just pale.  All four angels were dressed alike, and had the same somber, sorrowful countenance.  

I stood and watched as all four horses were led out of my sight, and finally when they had disappeared from view, the messenger turned to me and said: ‘Go an tell what you have seen.  The riders prepare, the horses are ready, and soon they will descend, soon they will be loosed.  Remember what you have witnessed, and do not hold back a single word.  Soon they descend on wings of fury; soon turmoil will shake earth’s very foundation.  Prepare yourself, for many will fall and few will stand.  Fulfillment is at hand, go and speak what you have seen, and what you have heard.  The Kingdom awaits the righteous, the holy will soon see the Lord.”

I only realized I was still holding his hand when he let go of mine, and suddenly I was back in my bed, sitting up, fully awake.  I am still unsure whether or not it was a dream, or if ‘dream’ is the right word for it, but for simplicity’s sake I will call it a dream.  

I tried to go back to sleep but could not, vividly remembering the sorrowful look on the faces of the angels who were leading the horses out of the stables.  

It seems the world is seeing, what the church is refusing to acknowledge, the fact that we are on the cusp of great upheaval not only in this nation, but also throughout the world.  These are the days of which the prophets spoke, the days of which Christ warned, the time of distress, of sifting and of separation.  

My prayer is that we remember always, our hope is in the Lord, and He is faithful to those who are faithful to Him.  If one word stands out from this entire dream, it is the word ‘prepare’ and we must do so with diligence.  The children of God must steel themselves for what is coming, prepare their hearts and settle within their souls that the day in which we will have to stand for truth is soon approaching.  

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”

With love in Christ,
