Dreams from God

How does God speak to people in dreams?

Everyone dreams every night, whether they remember it or not.

However, most dreams are not from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).

Most dreams disappear as if they had never occurred (Job 20:8).  They vanish as soon as the dreamer awakens (Psalm 73:20).

Most dreams are not remembered, even if they troubled the dreamer (Daniel 2:1-5).  They disappear and are forgotten as soon as the dreamer wakes up (Isaiah 29:7).

Some dreams are nightmares that bring terror to the dreamer (Job 7:13-15).   Other dreams can bring great joy to the dreamer (Psalm 126:1-3).

Dreams can come from being too busy (Ecclesiastes 5:3).  These are mostly empty dreams (Ecclesiastes 5:7).  These empty dreams do not help the dreamer (Isaiah 29:8).

However, some dreams are from the Father of Truth.

A dream from the Father of Truth is a vision that He gives someone while they sleep, where He gives instructions to their spirit (Job 33:14-17).

Some of the dreams given by the Father of Truth bring terror to the dreamer (Job 4:12-19).

Dreams can come from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) being poured out on people (Joel 2:28-29).  Even old men have have been given dreams by the Father of Truth, ever since the Spirit of Truth started being poured out on all people (Acts 2:17).

So, the Father of Truth still speaks to people though dreams and visions.

His brothers conspired against Joseph (Yousef), after he had told them the dream that the Father of Truth had given him (Genesis 37:18-20).

So, dreams from the Father of Truth should not to be shared with everyone.

Dreams from the Father of Truth will lead people into His will.

The Father of Truth speaks to the Prophets of Truth through dreams (Numbers 12:6).

However, the dreams that He gives the Prophets of Truth will never lead people away from keeping the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Deuteronomy 13:1-5).

So, the Father of Truth speaks to the Prophets of Truth in dreams to lead people to walk in His ways.

The Prophets of Lies will have dreams, but those dreams are not from the Father of Truth (Jeremiah 23:25-27).  The dreams from the Father of Truth will never lead people away from the Word of Truth (Jeremiah 23:28-30).  The Father of Truth will never send a dream that leads people into the error of disobeying His commandments (Jeremiah 23:31-32).

So, any dream that is contrary to the Word of Truth is not from the Father of Truth.

The dreams of the Prophets of Lies will lead people into disaster (Jeremiah 27:9-10).  The Prophets of Lies tell about dreams, which were not from the Father of Truth, to give false comfort to unrepentant sinners (Zechariah 10:2).

Not everyone who says that the Father of Truth has spoken to them in a dream is telling the truth (Jeremiah 29:8-9).  There are still Prophets of Lies today, who tell about dreams that were not from the Father of Truth, to lead people away from the Father of Truth for their own profit (Jude 8-11).

So, test every dream that someone says is from the Father of Truth to see if it was.

The Father of Truth sends instructions in dreams to all kinds of people to bring about His will.

The first person to have the Father of Truth speak to them directly in a dream was Abimelech, the king of Gerar (Genesis 20:3-7).  However, the people of Gerar did not fear the Father of Truth (Genesis 20:8-11).

So, the Father of Truth will even speak directly in dreams to those who do not know Him.

The Father of Truth later spoke to Jacob (Ya'acov aka Israel) directly in dream as well (Genesis 28:10-15).  However, Jacob was a worshiper of the Father of Truth (Genesis 28:16-22).

So, the Father of Truth also speaks directly in dreams to those who know Him.

The Father of Truth warned Laban in a dream to do no harm to Jacob (Genesis 31:24).  So, Laban was careful to do no harm to Jacob (Genesis 31:25-29).  He heeded the warning, even though he worshiped idols (Genesis 31:30-35).

The Father of Truth also gave the wife of Pilate a dream to warn Pilate that they would suffer greatly, if he continued to put the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) on trial, when he knew that he was innocent (Matthew 27:17-19).

So, the Father of Truth will use dreams to warn those who do not know Him to not harm the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him).

The Father of Truth sends instructions in dreams to help the Children of Truth.

Jacob used rods to have the stronger livestock to be born with coats that showed they belonged to him (Genesis 30:37-42).  He did this to follow the instructions that the Father of Truth gave him in dream, so he would be paid the wages that Laban had tried to take away from him by deceit (Genesis 31:7-13).

So, the Father of Truth will give instructions in dreams to prosper the Children of Truth.

The Father of Truth told Jacob to go down to Egypt in a dream (Genesis 46:2-4).

So, the Father of Truth uses dreams to guide the Children of Truth to where they should live.

However, the Father of Truth does not give wisdom in dreams to everyone, even if they seek Him for it (1 Samuel 28:6).  He will not give wisdom in dreams to those who refuse to obey Him (1 Samuel 28:15-18).  However, He will give wisdom in dreams to those who obey Him and seek him for wisdom (1 Kings 3:3-12).

So, the Father of Truth can give wisdom in dreams to the Children of Truth, when they ask Him for it.

The Father of Truth also gives dreams of wealth and long life that bring gladness to those who obey Him (1 Kings 3:13-15).

So, the Father of Truth can give encouragement to obey Him in dreams.

The Father of Truth instructed Joseph (Yousef) in a dream to take Mary (Mariam) as his wife, because the Spirit of Truth had caused her to conceive, and to give her son, the Man of Truth, the name that had been spoken by the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 1:20-23).

So, the Father of Truth uses dreams to assure people that strange events are from Him.

The Father of Truth instructed the Wise Men in a dream to not return to King Herod (Herod the Great) but to go home by a different route in a dream (Matthew 2:7-12).

The Father of Truth then sent His Angel in a dream to instruct Joseph to flee to Egypt with Mary and the Man of Truth to fulfill the words of the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 2:13-15).

After Herod the Great died, the Father of Truth sent His Angel in a dream to instruct Joseph to return to the land of Israel (Matthew 2:19-20).  The Father of Truth instructed Joseph in another dream to flee to Galilee to fulfill the words of the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 2:22-23).

So, the Father of Truth uses dreams to protect the Children of Truth.

Some dreams from the Father of Truth require interpretation.

The first people to interpret a dream sent by the Father of Truth were the brothers of Joseph (Genesis 37:5-8).  Jacob interpreted the next dream sent by the Father of Truth to his son Joseph (Genesis 37:9-11).

So, any worshiper of the Father of Truth can be given the interpretation of dreams from Him.

Joseph looked to the Father of Truth to interpret the dreams of others (Genesis 40:5-8).  Joseph then interpreted the message of the dreams sent by the Father of Truth correctly (Genesis 40:9-22).

So, dreams from the Father of Truth can be interpreted by seeking Him for the interpretation.

When Pharaoh asked Joseph to interpret his dreams, Joseph told Pharaoh that the Father of Truth would interpret the dreams that He had sent (Genesis 41:15-16).  Joseph then told Pharaoh the interpretation of the dreams sent by the Father of Truth (Genesis 41:17-32).  Afterwards, Pharaoh acknowledged that the Spirit of Truth had given Joseph the ability to interpret the dreams sent by the Father of Truth (Genesis 41:38-39).

So, the Spirit of Truth gives the Children of Truth the ability to interpret dreams sent by the Father of Truth.

Later, the Father of Truth sent a dream to one of the Midianites, who was coming against Gideon, and gave the interpretation of the dream to another Midianite, who was coming against Gideon (Judges 7:13-15).

So, even those who do not know the Father of Truth can be given the interpretation of a dream from Him.

The Father of Truth gave Daniel (Belteshazzar) the ability to understand all dreams (Daniel 1:17). 

So, the Father of Truth can give people a gift to interpret dreams.

King Nebuchadnezzar promised Daniel great wealth and power, if he could tell him what he dreamed and what his dream meant (Daniel 2:6).

Still, Daniel had to seek the Father of Truth for the dream and the interpretation, even when it was impossible for any human being to do so (Daniel 2:7-18).  The Father of Truth gave Daniel both the dream and the interpretation (Daniel 2:19-23).

So, even when the Father of Truth has given the gift of interpreting dreams to people, they still have to seek Him to use that gift.

Daniel made sure that Nebuchadnezzar understood that the Father of Truth had given him both the dream and the interpretation (Daniel 2:24-30).  Daniel then told Nebuchadnezzar both the dream and the interpretation (Daniel 2:31-45).  Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that this ability could have only came from the Father of Truth (Daniel 2:46-47).

When someone gives the correct interpretation of a dream from the Father of Truth, it will always bring glory to Him.

Later, Nebuchadnezzar called for Daniel to interpret another dream that came to him from the Father of Truth (Daniel 4:4-18).  Daniel gave Nebuchadnezzar the interpretation of his dream and told him to heed the warning of the dream (Daniel 4:19-27).  Nebuchadnezzar did not heed the warning of the dream, and a year later, the interpretation of the dream came to pass (Daniel 4:28-36).

So, the interpretation of dreams can make a warning from the Father of Truth known.

Daniel was known for his gift of interpreting dreams (Daniel 5:10-12).

Anyone given the gift of interpreting dreams will be known by their demonstrations of that gift.

Later, Daniel had a dream, and someone in the dream had to give him the interpretation of the dream (Daniel 7).

So, even someone with the gift of interpreting dreams from the Father of Truth, can still need to have their own dreams interpreted by someone else .

However, the days are coming when there will be no more dreams to interpret.

Today, the Children of Truth get a blurry view of the face of the Father of Truth in a dream, but the day is coming when they will see Him face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12).

The day is coming when they will no longer need to see the Man of Truth in their dreams, because they will be like him when he comes to rule the Earth and they will see him as he really is (1 John 3:2).

They will be living the dream, when the Father of Truth comes down to live among them in the Renewed Heaven and Renewed Earth (Revelation 21:1-4).  They will be living the dream because they came into the House of Truth to be His children (Revelation 21:5-7).

However, everyone who does not come into the House of Truth will be experiencing an unending nightmare (Revelation 21:8).

So, come into the House of Truth, and start living the dream today (John 17:3).  Surrender your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

 

The Death of America

Is America doomed to be destroyed in the near future?

In 1992, shortly before the presidential elections in the United States, I had a dream that Bill Clinton became the next President of the United States.  After he won the election in this dream, he set off a series of events, that lead to the demise of the United States, many years later.  I have witnessed many of these events take place since that time, and I know, that if America continues down the path that it is going on, then America will soon be no more.  The death of America is near and certain without national repentance.

The death of America will leave behind several smaller and weaker countries in its place, that will never be able to enjoy the peace, prestige and wealth individually, that these states currently enjoy, while united into a single country.  These countries will not always cooperate with each other, and will eventually even engage each other in war.  These wars could prevent the largest exporter of wheat and corn in the world, from being able to send food to the many countries, that depend upon it to feed their populations.  The death of America could even lead to a world wide famine.

Those who live in other countries, who have been shouting "Death to America" for years, will suddenly find, that their world has been made considerably worse by the death of America.  Without an America, there will be no one rushing aid to them, when they are hit with the natural disasters, that will soon befall them.   Without an America, they will soon find, that no one is sending them food in their times of famine. Without an America, there will no longer be a massive outpouring of medical aid in times of plagues.  Without an America, the rate of innovation will slow down considerably.   Without an America, there will be no one to stop brutal dictators from placing them under bondage. Without an America, there will be a massive power vacuum, that less moderate parties will fill.  Those who have been shouting "Death to America" for years, will not like the end result ,when they finally get their wish.

Of course, that was only a dream I had.  It does not necessarily mean that it came from the Father of Truth (Yahweh aka God) - even if many of the events have happened since then.  We are not to base our faith on dreams.  If He really sent a dream by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) then its message will always agree with what He has already said.  The message of every dream like this must be compared to the Book of Truth (The Bible) to see if it really came from Him or not.  This is explained in greater detail in Dreams and Visions.

So what does the Book of Truth say about what I saw in this dream? Is America doomed to be destroyed?

In the long run, the country as a political entity is doomed but the various people groups who live in it are not. To understand, a brief overview of the structure of the US is in order.

The United States is basically an empire. 

It has fifty member states that act in some ways as separate countries that each have their own ruler (governor), their own councils (legislatures) and their own judges.  They are bound together by a common covenant (the constitution) and a common culture that values diversity.  They are all subject to the decrees issued by a supreme ruler (executive orders of the president), laws passed a supreme council (congress) and the judgements of a supreme court of judges. 

It also has a number of client states (territories, protectorates, etc.) that are also subject to the same decrees, laws and judgments as the member states with only the right to speak but not to decide.  It also greatly influences, sometimes almost controlling, a number of smaller independent nations through their dependency on it for food, military protection and economic welfare.   It has also sought to allow freedom of religion, speech, etc. over the entire area under its control and even in those other countries that it virtually rules by influence.  It has often gone to war to force other countries to adopt its values. 

So in short, the United States has many of the characteristics of other empires (who were also structured similarly and did similar things) in the Book of Truth including the Persian Empire (freedom of religion, diversity of cultures, etc.), the Greek Empire (democracy) and the Roman Empire (a republic with a Senate).

All of these empires came to an end and so will the United States. 

The Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) will one day be the law of the entire Earth and Jerusalem will be the capital of the whole world (Isaiah 2:3).  The Man of Truth (Yeshua  HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) will break up all empires and large countries into small countries that will be ruled by the Children of Truth (those who obey God because they love Him) (Revelation 2:26-27).  The Father of Truth is going to set up a single world-wide empire with the Man of Truth as the only supreme ruler (King of Kings) on Earth (Revelation 19:15-16).

Before the Man of Truth can destroy the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast aka The Man of Sin) to set up his kingdom, the kingdom of the Man of Lies must rise to become the most powerful nation on Earth (Revelation 13:1-4). 

Before that can happen, the United States must be removed from the position of being the most powerful nation on Earth to create a power vacuum.

So America is doomed to come to an end, be broken into smaller countries and exist only in the pages of history like the Roman, Greek and Persian empires.  The better question for those who are alive now is this:  Is America doomed to be destroyed in the near future?

To answer that question we must look at the country in the Book of Truth that is most similar to America in its original purposes and its relationship to the Father of Truth to see what happened to it.  That country is the ancient country of Israel (not the modern country of the same name occupied by descendants of the same people).

Most of the original thirteen colonies were founded by the Children of Truth to carry out the purposes of the Father of Truth as clearly spelled out in their founding documents and the monuments they erected so that their descendants would not forget this fact.  This was similar to the reasons that the people of Israel were brought into the Land of Israel.

The colonists were the children of Abraham by a supernatural birth just like the Children of Israel were the descendants of Abraham by a natural birth (Genesis 22:16-18).   Like the colonists, the descendants of Abraham (Abram), Isaac (Yitzakh) and Jacob (Israel aka Yaqob) were given a land as part of His plan to bless all the Earth (Genesis 28:13-15).  Like the colonists were removed from being persecuted in England to go to a land that they had never seen also He removed the Children of Israel from being persecuted in Egypt to go to a land that they had never seen (Exodus 6:3-5).  He prospered both the Children of Israel and the original colonists so that His covenant could be established in the Earth (Deuteronomy 8:18).

For the sake of His covenants both groups grew into nations that expanded their borders and influence.

The territory of the thirteen colonies grew in size over the generations just like the thirteen tribes of Israel ( eleven whole tribes plus the two half-tribes that are often treated as two individual tribes) (Joshua 11:23).  Soon the original inhabitants of both areas became a minority (Joshua 17:13).   Both groups eventually became a nation united under a single ruler (1 Samuel 10:24-25).

The early Americans, like the ancient Israelites, based the law of the land on the Law of Truth (Deuteronomy 17:18-20).   The borders of both nations expanded generation after generation until they went from sea to shining sea (Exodus 23:29-31).  They both became known as the most affluent and influential countries on Earth (1 Kings 10:23-24).

The Father of Truth brought about these expansions as long as they sought to fulfill His purposes.  He had entrusted the Law of Truth to the people of Israel because they were the physical family of the Man of Truth.  Similarly, He has empowered Americans to be more able to spread the Good News of the Man of Truth to those that had never heard it than any other people in history because so many of them belong to the spiritual family of the Man of Truth.

It would be great if the parallels between America and the ancient nation of Israel ended there but sadly they do not.  Just as there were many similarities in their beginnings and growth into a nation there are also many similarities to their treatment of the Father of Truth after He blessed them.

Most Americans now object to continuing to base their laws on the Law of Truth just as Israel eventually did despite being warned against so doing (Deuteronomy 8:11).  In similar fashion, they have forgotten that the Father of Truth is the one that delivered their ancestors from England and made their nation rich (Deuteronomy 8:12-14).  They do not consider it was by His favor that the United States has overcame so many obstacles that were insurmountable (Deuteronomy 8:15-16).  Like the ancient nation of Israel, Americans have come to believe that they have accomplished everything by their own strength (Deuteronomy 8:17).

Like ancient Israel, America has turned from the Father of Truth because the political and religious leaders have sought to fulfill their own desire for bigger, better, new things instead taking care of the needs of the people (Ezekiel 34:2).  Like ancient Israel, America has told the Father of Truth to get out of their schools (Hosea 4:1).  America has also decided that His commandments have no place in their courts (Nehemiah 9:26).

Just as ancient Israel left the Father of Truth to follow idols so has America left Him to follow an idol (Isaiah 2:8).  The American idol is not an image made of wood or stone like the idols that drew ancient Israel away but rather is made of green paper with images of the founding fathers on it (Colossians 3:5).  This idolatry of money is more thoroughly explained in Bigger, Better, Newer.

Since America has chosen to put its trust in this idol instead of trusting in the Father of Truth, as stamped on its coins, it has followed the same path as ancient Israel.  All sexual restraint was thrown off and sex outside of marriage between a man and woman became accepted as normal (Ezekiel 16:29).  Prostitution became accepted and legal in many places (Ezekiel 23:35).  Even divorce has became accepted as normal (Malachi 2:14-16).

In like manner, becoming drunk has became a source of pride instead of shame in America just as it happened in ancient Israel (Isaiah 28:7-8).  Many Americans also became involved with the occult, including the use of hallucinogenic drugs, just like ancient Israel (Micah 5:12).

This manner of living has predictably lead to unwanted pregnancies.  Americans have made murder in the womb of these children who came from their rebellion against the Law of Truth both legal and acceptable just like ancient Israel murdered their children that came from their rebellion against the Law of Truth (Psalm 106:37-39).

Ancient Israel did all these things and suffered many of the same judgments before it was finally destroyed that are similar to the judgments that America has suffered over its history.  America has suffered great economic hardships like the Great Depression, similar to ancient Israel (2 Kings 12:18).  America has suffered a division between north and south that has never completely healed just like ancient Israel (1 Kings 12:20-24).  America has suffered devastating droughts that lead to food shortages, like the dust bowl, similar to ancient Israel (1 Kings 18:1-2).  America has suffered great plagues like the Spanish flu, polio and Aids, similar to ancient Israel (1 Chronicles 21:14).  America has lost many people in war, particularly the Civil War, just like ancient Israel (2 Chronicles 13:16-18).

America has responded at times with repentance to these judgements just like ancient Israel (2 Chronicles 34:33).  However, just as ancient Israel reached a point where it would not repent so also is America close to that same point.  Despite the cycles of the idolatry, fornication, drunkenness, even murder in the womb, America has experienced great revivals of repentance like the First and Second Great Awakenings similar to Israel.  However, the time will come, like it did for ancient Israel, when the Father of Truth will be weary of calling them to repentance because America will no longer repent (Jeremiah 15:5-7).

America has had times of turning from His commandments in the past that has brought on warning judgments that lead to more serious judgments such as the Civil War, and the Great Depression that finally brought America to repent of its sins.  Yet it has not responded in such a manner to any of the warning judgments that have fallen upon it since 1992.  Weather judgments like the three times that Moore, OK has been devastated by tornadoes as part of record tornadoes and tornado outbreaks, wild fires, record droughts in some areas while other areas had record floods, hurricanes like Katrina, Rita and Sandy along with other natural disasters.  There have also been unprecedented judgments of terror on American soil like the Oklahoma City bombing and the attacks on September 11, 2001 (9-11).  America is suffering the worse economic crisis since the Great Depression.  Yet America has only became more wicked after each judgment.  America seems to be unwilling to respond to any judgment by repenting of its wickedness. 

If America continues to go down the same path as ancient Israel then it is going to reach the same destination.  America will be destroyed as surely as ancient Israel was destroyed for doing what the Canaanites did that caused the Father of Truth to send in Israel to destroy them (Deuteronomy 8:19-20).  The Father of Truth warned Israel against accepting homosexuality as normal which is the current trend in America (Deuteronomy 23:17).   The one thing that the Canaanites did that brought His wrath more than anything else was the acceptance of homosexuality as normal as many in America desire (1 Kings 14:24).  King Asa was declared righteous by the Father of Truth for not tolerating what the Father of Truth had called intolerable just as the original colonists would not tolerate homosexuality (1 Kings 15:11-12).  His son was also called righteous for continuing to treat homosexuality as a crime just like homosexuality was a crime in every state of the US until fairly recent times (1 Kings 22:43-46).  Josiah, the last king to be called righteous, was spoke of as being the most righteous of all the kings for not tolerating any homosexuals to live in his country contrary to what many Americans today think as being righteous (2 Kings 23:7).  The destruction of Israel came when it chose to be like Sodom instead of being like Him and it will be no different with America (Ezekiel 16:48-50).

How did America go from homosexuality being a crime, even a death penalty crime in some colonies, to being accepted as normal?

It was Bill Clinton that set in motion the acceptance of homosexuality as normal after he became president with his "don't ask, don't tell" policy just as I saw in my dream.  This came true just as I saw in my dream but the death of America was only insured in my dream if America refused to repent.  If America does not repent, at the very least it will be broken into smaller countries just like ancient Israel was broken into Israel and Judah.  Those smaller countries will go to war with each other at various times just like Israel and Judah went to war with each other at various time.  If they still refuse to repent, then they will be destroyed by a foreign army just like Israel and Judah were eventually destroyed.

Is what happened to ancient Israel any indicator of what will happen to America?

Everything that has happened to ancient Israel is meant to be an example of how the Father of Truth will treat everyone who does the same things so that we might repent instead of being destroyed (1 Corinthians 10:11).  The Father of Truth does not want America to perish but to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).  The Man of Truth is giving America space to repent of its fornication and idolatry just like he did for the Prophetess of Lies called Jezebel (Revelation 2:20-22).  If America does not take advantage of this generous offer then the Man of Truth will bring swift judgment upon it and its children just as he did with that woman (Revelation 2:23).

So Americans must choose between rejecting His Law, even to the point of accepting as normal what the Father of Truth calls wicked, and the welfare of their own children.

You cannot choose for everyone but you can choose for yourself.  If you will come into the House of Truth then the Father of Truth will protect you from destruction during the death of America just as he did for the Children of Truth in ancient Israel (Isaiah 3:10).  You can come into the House of Truth by surrendering all of your rights to the Man of Truth now because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  If you will come into the House of Truth then the death of America will not mean the death of you (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Dreams and Visions

Have you ever had a dream that might have came from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD)?

How can you tell if a dream is inspired by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka the Holy Spirit aka the Holy Ghost) or by a Spirit of Lies (devil aka demon aka god aka unclean spirit) or even just your own imagination?

I have had supernatural dreams and visions.  This is the story of some of those dreams and visions.

When I was eight years old, I went down to an altar, told the Father of Truth that I was sorry for my sins, and asked the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to come into my heart.

Not long after that, I became so afraid of dying, that I could not sleep at night, because I was afraid that if I went to sleep, then I would never wake up.  I did not understand, what really happens when people die.  So I was terrified of dying.

All I ever got out of listening to the pastor at our Baptist church, was that if we wanted to avoid Hell, then we needed to come down to the altar, admit that we were sinners, and ask the Man of Truth to come into our hearts.  My mother had read us stories out of our Children's Bible for as long as I could remember, but there was a lot of things, that were never covered in the Children's Bible, that were in the Book of Truth (The Bible).  I really had no reason to find comfort in the knowledge, that I would one day die.  So night after night I stayed awake, and cried quietly under my covers, until sleep overtook me .

Then one night, the Man of Truth appeared to me, and told me that I would never die.  I had never heard such a thing, and Baptists did not talk about prophecy, or visions, or anything like that in those days.  I had no idea that the Man of Truth would appear to people, and yet my fears fled, the moment that he spoke to me.

The first thing that I noticed about the Man of Truth, was that he did not look at all like those paintings of him, that I have seen in homes.  He does not look Italian, or anything like those pictures of him, by the great master artists, that I had seen in museums.  He did not even vaguely resemble the tall, white skinned, blond haired, blue eyed, good looking Jesus with the well trimmed beard, that was in the Children's Bible.

Everything about his appearance was a surprise.  His clothing was different than any I had ever seen.  He wore this cloak with what seemed to be white tassels on each corner.  Each of the white tassels were wrapped with a single sky blue thread.  His hair was medium length, black and curly on top. There was a lock of hair that came down on each side of his head and rested on his shoulders.  His beard was full and rough on the edges.  He was about average in height perhaps around 5'10'' (175 cm).  His eyes were dark brown and the color of his skin reminded me of caramel.  His face was not the face of a leading man in a movie but rather one that could have gotten easily lost in a crowd of men with similar skin, hair and clothing.  Although I could not have told you at the time, I can summarize his appearance this way now.  The Man of Truth looked extremely Middle Eastern, intensely Jewish and extraordinarily ordinary.

Shortly after this, I started having a series of dreams that were absolutely terrifying.  I saw people dying from all kinds of terrible disasters all over the earth.  Huge meteorites and hailstones fell from the sky killing people and causing massive destruction.  Terrible fires destroyed entire cities.  Terrible earthquakes leveled everything and even caused mountains to collapse.  Both wild and domesticated animals went crazy and killed many people.  Incurable diseases would wipe out almost everyone in a country.  Millions died of thirst because their water was polluted.  Millions died of starvation because their crops had been destroyed.  There were terrible battles where millions died at a time.  The blood from one of these battles was so deep that the wounded would drown in the blood. It was easy to see that if things kept on going the way that they were in these dreams that it would not take long for every living thing on the face of the Earth to be destroyed.  The Earth seemed destined to becoming as lifeless as the moon.

I also saw this evil leader that tried to make everyone to be marked as belonging to him.  Everyone who refused his mark could not buy groceries or earn money.  When those who had refused his mark were caught and still refused his mark then they were placed in a guillotine on their backs.  If they still refused, then the blade came down and their heads came off.   There were rivers of blood and mountains of heads.  I was always among those who lost their heads.

These dreams occurred time after time for years from when I was eight years old.  I sought help to understand these dreams from the religious professionals of the area where I lived in the Ozarks but they were as clueless as I was.  They seem to be very focused on repeating on what their denomination taught and seemed unable to get anything from the Book of Truth (The Bible) on their own.

Then when I was sixteen I read the book of Revelation in the Book of Truth for the first time and it absolutely shook me to the core of my being.  Every one of those things that I had seen in my dreams were in this book.  I was convinced of three things after this:  My dreams were not ordinary dreams.  The Book of Truth was not an ordinary book.  I was in deep trouble.  I knew that I needed to do more than just admit that I had sinned against the Father of Truth and ask the Man of Truth to come live in my heart.  So I began to search for answers.

When I was almost twenty, I finally understood what had been missing in my life.  It was not enough for me to come into the House of Truth when I was eight and then leave the House of Truth to go about living my life no differently than those that had never came into the House of Truth.  The Father of Truth demanded that I stay in the House of Truth if I wanted to be saved.  The Man of Truth did not come to save me from the consequences of my sins but to save me from my sins.  If I would surrender everything to the Man of Truth then the Man of Truth would live in me and give me the power to overcome my sins.  When I finally surrendered everything, everything changed including my dreams. 

I again had similar dreams but from a different perspective.  I was no longer terrified by these dreams nor by the book of Revelation because I was on the winning side.  I knew that every living thing would not be destroyed from the face of the Earth because the Man of Truth was going to save the human race.  I was transported off of the Earth to meet the Man of Truth in the sky before the terrible days came upon the Earth.  I was no longer among those that lost their heads for refusing to take the mark of the evil leader.  The Man of Truth was the one that fought against the evil leader and I was in the army of the Man of Truth.  The Man of Truth was going to end forever the evil that has reign on the Earth since the time of Adam.  The Earth would once again become the paradise that it was meant to be.  The same kind of dreams that once terrified me now comforted me.

What about these dreams and visions?  Were they real or the work of an overactive imagination? 

We must be care to not be lead by dreams and visions alone.  Our actions are not to reflect the confidence that we have in our dreams.  Our actions are to reflect the confidence that we have in the Word of Truth that is found in the Book of Truth (Romans 10:17). 

A dream or vision that is from the Father of Truth will always agree with the Book of Truth and never disagree with the Book of Truth.  A dream or vision that is inspired by a Spirit of Truth will agree with the Book of Truth because it was written by the Spirit of Truth (2 Peter 1:21).   A dream or vision that is inspired by a Spirit of Lies will always disagree with the Book of Truth (1 John 4:6).

A dream or vision from the Father of Truth will always draw you closer to the Man of Truth.  Any dream that leads you away from the Man of Truth is not from the Father of Truth if even if it predicted something that came to pass (Deuteronomy 13:1-3).  A dream or vision that is inspired by the Spirit of Truth will always lead you to the Man of Truth (John 15:26).

A dream or vision from the Father of Truth will always turn out to be true.  Any dream that shows something in the future that does not come to pass is not from the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).  Any dream that shows something in the future that is inspired by the Spirit of Truth will come to pass (John 16:13).

So how about my dreams and visions?  Were they from the Father of Truth?

The Man of Truth has appeared to people since he went to Heaven so he could have appeared to me.  The Man of Truth appeared to Ananias to tell him about Shaul (aka Saul aka Paul) (Acts 9:10-16).  The Man of Truth appeared to Shaul years later in Corinth (Acts 18:9-11). The Man of Truth appeared to Yachanon (John) on the isle of Patmos (Revelation 1:9-18).

The Man of Truth has absolutely promised life to every Child of Truth.  The Man of Truth really did promise that every Child of Truth would never die (John 11:25-27).  All of the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) will get a new body that is like the resurrected body of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:48-50).  One generation of the Children of Truth will have their bodies replaced without experiencing death (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).

The Man of Truth is a Middle Eastern Jew whose appearance is quite typical of those of his days on the Earth.  The Man of Truth wears a garment with white tassels that are wrapped with a sky blue thread as commanded by the Father of Truth (Numbers 15:38).  These white tassels are on the corners of the garment (Deuteronomy 22:12).  There are long locks on each side of his head so that it can be plainly seen that the corners of his head have not been rounded (Leviticus 19:27).  His beard is full and the edges rough so that it can be plainly seen that the corners of his beard have not been cut (Leviticus 21:5).  The Man of Truth was a Jew and the Jews came from Shem the father of all brown skinned people, and the Jews are related closely to Jordanians and the Arabians thru Abraham (aka Abram) (Genesis 11:10-26).   The Man of Truth is a descendant of David and Abraham (Matthew 1:1).  There were only women of Middle Eastern descent listed in the genealogy of the Man of Truth (Matthew 1:3-6).  His skin is caramel colored, his hair is black and his eyes are dark brown which is typical of Middle Eastern Jews as shown in every ancient image of them that has been found from those that were made in the tombs of the Pharaohs in the days of Joseph to the images in the catacombs of Cappadocia that were created shortly after the times of the Apostles.  There is nothing outstanding about the appearance of the Man of Truth (Isaiah 53:2).  The Man of Truth looks just like any other Middle Eastern Jew of his day (Hebrews 2:16-18).

The Book of Truth says that terrible days are coming to this Earth.  The Earth will pelted with many meteorites (Revelation 6:13).  The Earth will be hit with a massive meteorite (Revelation 8:10).  There will be massive hailstones that cause incredible destruction (Revelation 16:21).  There will be terrible fires that will burn up large parts of the Earth (Revelation 8:7).  There will be an earthquake so terrible that it will cause mountains to collapse and islands to sink (Revelation 16:18-20).  Many people will be killed by animals (Revelation 6:8).  Many people will die from disease (Revelation 11:6).  Many people will die from poisoned water (Revelation 8:11).  Many people will die from thirst because they have no water to drink (Revelation 16:4).  Many people will die from their crops being destroyed (Revelation 6:5-8).  Many people will die in many wars that cover the Earth (Revelation 6:3-4).  There will be blood in one battle so deep that the horses will have to hold their heads up to avoid drowning (Revelation 14:20).  It is easy to see that if things continued on like that without being stopped then there would be nothing left living on the Earth (Matthew 24:22).  The Earth would become as lifeless as the moon.

The Book of Truth says that an evil leader, the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast aka The Wicked One) will be on the Earth.  The agent of the Man of Lies will tell everyone to be marked as belonging to the Man of Lies (Revelation 13:16).  Those who refuse the mark will not be able to buy groceries or earn money (Revelation 13:17).  The many who still refuse to be marked when they are caught will be beheaded (Revelation 20:4).

The Book of Truth has Good News for those who surrender to the Man of Truth and stay in the House of Truth.  Everything looks different when you are on the winning side.  Every living thing will not be destroyed from the face of the Earth because the Man of Truth is going to save the human race (Mark 13:20).  The Children of Truth will be transported off of this Earth before the terrible days come (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). The Father of Truth will not pour out His wrath on the Children of Truth (1 Thessalonians 5:8-10).  They will not be among those who lose their heads for refusing to take the mark of the Man of Lies.  They will come back with the Man of Truth when he fights the Man of Lies and they will be in his army (Revelation 19:11-14).  The Man of Truth is going to end the evil that has reigned on the Earth since Adam (Revelation 20:10-15).  The Earth will once again become the paradise that it was always meant to be (Revelation 21:1-4).

I hope you can see that these dreams and visions were from the Father of Truth.  The Father of Truth sent these dreams and visions to draw me to the Man of Truth (John 6:44).  These dreams and visions were given so I could help others to come into the House of Truth in these last days (Acts 2:17).  The Spirit of Truth inspired these dreams and visions to confirm that I was a Child of Truth (Romans 8:16).

What about you?  Are these dreams and visions a source of terror or comfort?  Have you had dreams and visions from the Father of Truth?  How can you know for sure?

The Father of Truth has given you the Book of Truth which is more sure than any dream or vision (2 Peter 1:18-20).  You can come into the House of Truth if you will surrender to the Man of Truth because you believe that the Father of Truth has raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  The Man of Truth will give you the strength to stay in the House of Truth (Galatians 2:20).

Come into the House of Truth.
