I am still here, still penniless and still waiting for God. "Here is the patience of the saints".
The secret of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He will make them know His covenant. My eyes are continually toward the Lord, for He will pluck my feet out of the net. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. (Psalm 25: 14-15, 21-22)

Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock? (1 Corinthians 9: 7)
Me!
Judging A Message
How do you tell whether or not a message is from God? Do you judge the message or the messenger?
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." (1 John 4: 1)
I also had to judge what was happening to me and in doing that I saw even more clearly what and how far reaching the biblical tests are.

Everything is About Jesus. In summary, it is my experience that the Holy Spirit has been teaching me because after seven years nothing magnifies Satan. Everything magnifies Christ. The spirit of prophecy not only reveals the future to me, the vast majority of the time He reveals Jesus in the past to me by explaining the prophecies about Jesus. So the concept of "spirit of Prophecy", "magnifying the law and prophets" and "Glorifying Jesus" is also demonstrated in that Spirit revealing the past prophecies about Jesus, most of which are contained in the laws.

Judging the Messenger
Although God says that we should have standards on selecting our leaders, He has set no additional standards for judging messengers except for judging the message. It is a sin to ignore them until you have examined what they say about Jesus and the law. In fact, because of the bizarre things He asks his messengers to do, you cannot judge them on normal standards of what is appropriate. You cannot judge them on what they say about others. Only on what they say about Jesus and the law.
It is a priviledge that God should shower me with such great honor and that He would bet the farm that I will not abandon Him no matter what He allows to happen to me and no matter how many times He disappoints me personally. I am blessed.
A Warning. Messengers only appear when something major is about to occur.

For the Jews seek a sign and the Greeks seek wisdom ... (1 Corinthians 1: 22)
The signs that I bring are those that point to Jesus through the wisdom and genius of the law.

Background
I started this website in 2001. Then I started having dreams in January 2003.
I have never had dreams before. People always said that everyone has dreams and I just did not remember mine. Well, I have never had any dreams that I did not remember.
My mind has always been a blank. I attributed it to my sleep disorder.
I used to think that when I had so much responsibility that it caused my hair to start falling out in clumps that maybe I would finally have a dream out of "the multitude of business". But nothing happened. At one stage I deliberately ate late at night thinking that it should give me nightmares. But nothing happened for 46 years. When I complained to my grandmother that I do not have dreams, she said, "Then you will see visions".

Now I am having dreams in vivid color and they are about the Second Coming and natural disasters.

Now that the English version of the website is complete, I have finally received two dreams - about the second coming. I also received a vision as a eight or nine year old that I had ignored for the past 36 years because I thought that it was a one time abberation that was peculiar to children.

The Prophecy
It will come about after this that I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
(Joel 2: 28-29)

For purposes of this document I am defining a vision as an event that happens when I am awake and a dream as one that occurs when I am asleep. This document is also not written in chronological order.

Since I have written this first section I have also had many more dreams and visions and another type of waking vision that has the images internal (in my mind) instead of external.
So far, as of 2005, the pattern has been that the visions are about destruction in the world and the wars of Babylon the Great and the dreams have been about God's efforts for the church. In 2005, God also allowed me to learn the meaning of two sealed prophecies. He walked me through the first and He told me to finish the second in a dream. Apparently, He had taught me everything I needed to know.

Fulfilled Vision 1: The Deck of Cards (1966)
I was about eight years old. It was around 1966. I was not a church goer but I did go to Sunday School whenever someone was giving classes at the local community center. Of course they did not study bible prophecy but I used to read the bible on my own after that, and I remember reading Revelation. I was not frightened. In fact, I thought that I understood Revelation 12: 1-6. I did not know that Daniel existed.

It was a Saturday afternoon when I saw this vision. The sky was a clear blue and I was sitting on the vernadah (porch) watching the clouds. I no longer remember the details or why I interpreted it the way I did, but something about what I saw made me believe that I was watching a war. A war at the end of time. I do not know if I thought this because of conversations in the beginning or because of horses and tanks in the sky. I also saw what looked like giant metal bugs. Even then I knew they were vehicles but the top was shaped like a bug. But since I am older I have identified them as tanks. The horses and tanks were engaged in battle and moving across the sky in a cloud of dust from left to right (west to east). Since I cannot remember what was said or what they were doing other than the fighting, I will not mention them anymore. But I did conclude that I was watching a war at the end of time.
But the images that stuck clearly in my mind were the cards that appeared in the next scene.

The clouds were churning in one direction on my right where the fighting was now occurring, and I saw a deck of cards stacked up on the left, tilted down to the earth. Then the cards were flying across the sky from left to right, one card at a time. Based on the orientation of our house and where I was sitting, the cards and the war scenes moved from west to east. The faces were tilted down so that I could see them from below. I distinctly remember seeing the face cards because of the colors, but I believe that other cards were there.
Since then, I have always labelled it as "a war at the end of the world with a deck of cards".
That is what I called it for 36 years. I also referred to it as "an ancient and modern war at the end of time" because the horses were fighting the tanks.
Many times during this period as I learned more I would think about this vision and wonder what had happened to me. I dismissed it because I could make no logical or symbolic connection with the deck of cards and a war.

Interpretation
On April 11, 2003 the Bush administration unveiled a deck of cards as a list of the most wanted terrorists. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have been a combination of ancient and modern warfare. Horses and tanks were used.

I had already stopped working to finish this web site. So this experience did not prompt me to drop everything and do this web site, it certainly increased my confidence in the fact that perhaps God was leading me to do this. What overwhelms me is that He has been preparing me for at least 36 years. So it does not matter whether or not my friends believe me or support me. What I do know is that if I abandon what I am doing, I could not go to the judgment and tell God that I did not believe that this was His desire.

So I believed that the end of the world is associated with a war in which there is a deck of cards.
Even then, because I thought that playing cards was associated with drunks and sinners I wondered what was God doing with a deck of cards?
I used to think about this and laugh about the thought processes of children. But I did try to see if this was common in children but I could find no information. This was not an ordinary childhood dream or fantasy. It was like watching color television in three dimensions and I was physically there.
For 36 years I thought that this was a meaningless experience that had to do with childhood fantasy, until the second war in Iraq and the president distributed a deck of cards hit list on April 11, 2003. Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades. Even as the Afghanistan war was being fought and the reporters mentioned the odd nature of that war it triggered my memory. An ancient and modern war. Men on horseback and tanks. But I still did not connect the dots until the deck of cards.

Fortunately, I had paid attention to other clues and I started this web site based on those incidents. The weird deck of cards incidence only confirmed my experience.

Background
Fulfilled Vision 2: The Mud People (~1966)
Although I catalogued this as a weird experience, I resisted calling this a vision, until two other weird day dreams from my early teens came back as dreams in August 2006. This was because in 2003 when I was forced to look at all my "weird" childhood experiences I looked at five incidences and I was able to rationalize away four of them, except for the deck of cards. A building from one of these experiences appeared in my third dream and after that I kept an open mind about these other experiences. I thought that the book, "Alice in Wonderland" was the source of this odd experience, even though I could not determine how I got a copy of the book before I was eleven years old. That is when I could go to the public library by myself on public transportation.

Vision
I had no dolls or toys to play with, so I decided that I would create a tiny village out of mud. So I went to the little garden we had in front of the house that was next to a pipe. The small plants would be my forest and I would put the mud people into this garden forest. I rolled up balls for heads and stuck them on rolled up cylinders for feet. After I created these things I was suddenly sucked into their world. It was more than just imaginary play. I was somehow in a forest with people who were dirty, "mud people" and I was also dirty. We we running and hiding in the forest because the king's men were after us and they wanted to kill us. I remember sitting at a rough table, I thought it was round and there was something sitting on the table. As we sat there we saw the king's men bending under the bushes and coming after us. I believe we escaped and somehow I was back in my own world. Although I knew that this could not possibly be real, the incidence was so real that the next day, and many days after I went out to that place in the garden looking for them. I wanted to play with them. Every trace of my previous creation was gone. Months later I would still go back to that spot, wondering how I could have made up something so real.

I thought that I initiated the process by creating the little mud people and that the vision actually started after I was "sucked into" their world. But I could not explain how everything disappeared the next day and I am forced to consider that the vision started much earlier when I created the people and the whole incidence was a vision.
This vision was fulfilled during the period of October 1, 2006 to November 10, 2006 after I became homeless and went to live in my tent. The "mud people" were the hikers, who are usually dirty. In August, after accepting the fact that this was also a vision I thought it had to do with the persecution in the future. I thought that it means that I would be alive when it happens. In fact, even though it was fulfilled in November, that incident could be just a sign that what I experience will be experienced by the church and that I will be alive when the final persecution comes. It is the same principle under which God made Jeremiah walk barefoot and naked for 3.5 years as a sign to Israel that their generation would be taken naked into captivity. This means that when we are persecuted we will have no time to prepare, or dispose of our possessions. We will be running without adequate food, clothes or shelter. I had no sleeping bag, my tent leaked on three sides, I had no proper shoes, my pants tore and exposed my behind, no coat and not enough food and winter was approaching. This is why we need to practise the rituals of the feast of Tabernacles. It teaches us how to build a shelter from the elements of nature while we are on an exodus under the care of God. This shelter is also designed to help us see the signs of the coming of God and to receive the latter rain.

Fulfillment
I left later than planned and by the time I reached Harper's Ferry on Yom Kippur it was almost dark and I had to stay at a motel. On September 3, I started hiking across the Susquehana bridge to the stairs that led to the trail. Soon after starting across the bridge, the sole of my left shoe fell off. Just before I finished crossing the bridge, the sole of the right shoe fell off. This was not good. I was homeless. I had about $300 and I could not afford to buy hiking shoes. I was forced to continue the rest of the hike in slippers. I could also only walk about one to two miles per day because of my injured back. This was much less that the five miles that I had hoped for. (Normal people walk 12 to 20 miles per day). I was forced to camp in Harper's Ferry National Park. Camping there is illegal and I did not know that because I forgot to check my hiker's guide book. On the second day I was still hiking up a steep cliff that was in the park when I paused to rest. A day hiker saw me and asked if I was OK. I said yes, but I think that I may run out of water. He offered some and I took it. But I assured him that I was ok, I just had to rest my back. He reported me to the park rangers and two hours later, one came by and told me that camping was illegal. He wrote up a report and said that I had better not have another infraction. After he left, I thought that this was somehow familiar. I immediately thought of the vision and determined if I ever see him again and others I will definately consider that perhaps the vision is being fulfilled. But I determined to make sure that I did not cause any more problems.
About three weeks later I was at Key's Gap, about seven miles south. Since it was at a road crossing I wanted to phone home to make sure that my sister and friends knew that I was still alive, I was not on a suicidal trek and that God had not answered my prayers yet. I found no public phone and it took me almost a week to determine what to do. Everytime I went to the gas station near by I could not get up enough courage to ask someone if I could pay to use their cell phone. Around the fifth day I was visited by a neighbor who asked if I was OK. He brought his dogs. I said that I was fine and that I would be leaving in two days. The next day another man visited and asked if I was OK. It was then that I decided to ask if I was trespassing on private property. I was! I had carefully read my map, determined the distance and placed my tent "far away" from any possible private border. The owner allowed me to use his phone and I thought that we had cleared up the problem. But the next day as I was leaving, I sat on a rock near a fire ring. I placed my back pack on the ring. I was waiting for my tent and other gear to dry. I also prayed to God to give me a fair hearing in heaven. To consider my case. Give me the gifts to finish His work and give me some credentials to show my disbelieving friends and family. Then I could turn right towards the road and go home. Otherwise I would turn left and keep Hiking. I also gave heaven 15 minutes to answer me. After 15 minutes I said, "I forgot how precise you all are, I want an answer in 15 minutes of earth time!". About ten minutes later as I looked to my right I saw two park rangers ducking under the banches, coming after me. One was the park ranger that I previously met. The other was from the National Park Service! I wanted to laugh. I wanted to panic. But all that I could think about was what was so important about this journey and period in my life that God put it in a vision almost forty years ago? This vision was about me. All other visions and dreams are about destruction and the work for the church.
The rangers asked me about my plans. It was then that I decided that the righteous should not suffer more than forty days so I told them that I will be hiking south for another week then I will return and go home. But I wanted to stay in the park for forty days. At that point I also wondered if I had mistaken the round fire ring for a table, but I decided to look for a picnic table. That is not seen on the trail. However, when I reached the David Lesser shelter the next day, there was a picnic table!

One of the images I also had as a child was a two story grey stone building with a triangular "A-frame" roof and stairs in front leading to the second floor. I cannot remember which vision it was related to but I do remember that it was associated with persecution and that I could find food on the second floor. I always thought that it was a general store.
When I hiked to the Blackburn trail center the next week, I met the kindest atheist/new-ager person. He was a stone worker who was there to repair the walls. When I left the place he carried my backpack for me for 1.5 miles then waited until I caught up. On Sabbath he walked 8 miles to where I was to get water for me! He was concerned that I was not drinking enough and that the water source at the David Lesser shelter was so far and steep that I would be tempted not to get it. He saw that I had no shoes and found a pair lying around at the center and gave them to me. He also realized that I had no sleeping bag because He went outside his comfort zone to question me and notice what I was lacking. Except for three people, my church showed no such care. They distanced themselves from my suffering.
The Blackburn building looked like a two story building from the front. The lower half was grey stone building. The front has stairs leading to the top. The only difference between it and my vision was an enclosed porch on three sides and the triangular profile of the roof was on the side not the front. I do not know if this is the building but it was close. And they gave hikers a free meal on the second floor.

Fulfilled Dream 1: The Glass Roof (January 2004)
I never had another dream or vision until January 2004 in the week after the tenth. I did have two significant communications from God but never a dream or vision from 1966 to 2004. I also started having knowledge dumped into my head from about January 2000 which has continued.

Background
I had tried to buy my four unit apartment building in January 2002 and I had been working on the website for a year while I still kept my job. So I had paid for lead paint and other construction inspections. Since I was under the impression that I had a deadline and I could not get anyone to give me even ten minutes of help, I had to make a decision to stop working, give up the dream of purchasing this house and work on the web site. Giving up this dream was a disappointment because I no longer had anyway of paying for a future retirement. I had been working on the web site for a year now and since I had no help, I used the down payment money to support myself while I stop working so that I could finish the web site. As a part of the purchasing process I had received an inspection report and it said that I would need a new roof. This information appeared in the dream.

Dream
I had this dream in early January 2004. In the dream my apartment building was being sold and at first I was a little sad because I had tried to buy the building two years before.
So in my dream I remembered that the building needed a new roof and I suddenly knew where I could find a roof. So I said that I would help the new owners by fixing the roof.
Suddenly I was in a field in the country and there was a triangular "A-Frame" roof lying in a field of grain near the building. It was a glass roof with rotting timbers. I got some white paint and putty and a broom and I started cleaning up this roof starting from the front to back (or left to right). I was repairing and painting the timber frame and removing cobwebs and dust. I kept asking for help but nobody would help me.

I remember constantly shouting for help and I was all alone.
"Come and help me". "Come and help me!" Nobody came. "Come and help me!" "Won't someone help me!"

As I painted and cleaned I noticed that the front of the roof started looking like the bow of a boat. As I looked down the length of the structure, my view was unobstructed and I noticed that the other end of the roof looked like the back of a boat. I wondered why I had not noticed that before. When it was lying in the field it was just a simple triangular "A" frame roof made from glass.

Finally, I had only a few minutes left and when I looked to my right to the back of the boat I saw all the work that remained to be done. I had barely made a dent and what I did was crude. But I did not give up. I put down the paint brush. I started picking up the paint and putty with my hands, desperately applying them with both of my hands. By that time, the roof had started taking on the shape of a boat with a roof. There was a distinct bow and stern that I could see through the glass.

Then time ran out and all of a sudden I was at a partition between the work I had done and another room. That partition had not been there before because I was always able to see the back. When I opened it, the structure beyond this point was totally finished in a strange looking wood that looked like marble. The fixtures had rounded edges and the material was light beige with spots of a darker beige. It looked like marble stone, but it was wood. I had the sensation or the knowledge that it was wood.

Then suddenly the glass roof boat was in a field of mountains and a sloping flat area that was all white like ice. The boat was launched with my imperfect parts in the front and the beautiful finished structure behind.
In front of it was an oriental girl riding a bicycle. I am not sure if she was towing the boat or riding in front of it. I was standing above as I saw it slide down the slope of ice.

Interpretation
I should continue building the website even though there are imperfections. God will finish it or is finishing it Himself.

Since the roof was glass it is also a Feast of Tabernacles imagery. Therefore, it was a dream about the Second Coming and the work that needed to be done to prepare for it. God will finish His own work.
It was obvious that the dream had two symbolisms of the Second Coming. First, the boat reminded me of Noah building the Ark and begging the world to escape destruction. Second, the transparent feast of tabernacles roof is a preparation for living with God. So the dream combines two great exodus symbols.

For my first dream in my entire life this was very comforting because I was distressed at having to do this website alone. Even though I am headed for homelessness in a few months, I was more concerned about the lack of interest in my friends and family.
And, with the exception of five people who edited a total of less than 200 pages two years ago and a Dutch woman who fixed the main page, no one had given me any help even when I needed only ten to fifteen minutes of their time.
This web site has thousands of pages.

Additional Comments
I was finally glad to experience my first dream. Even though I had come to terms with my predicament, I was happy that God would confirm my work with this dream. The thought of Joel 2 being fulfilled did not enter my mind. Even with the spectacular gift of knowledge that I was experiencing. Even then I was debating what that gift was. Was it wisdom or knowledge? I could not find anyone to listen to me or help me find out what was happening to me.
So I believed that the dream was personal affirmation that I needed. And that is what I thought that I had received. So, I did not record the date of this dream. I just knew that it was during the week after my birthday.
So I was not prepared to experience another dream.

Update (December 7, 2005). It is almost two years later, I was researching gem stones to update the children's science page and I found a stone called "palm wood". The wood in my dream looked exactly like this, with the honey color background. I had never seen anything like it before. I was frightened and elated at the same time and I quickly got off the Internet instead of researching further. I had previously thought that it was impossible to have wood look like this, so I thought that it must be some kind of heaven grown wood. So I researched it the next day because all that night I wanted to know if this gem stone was related to wood.
Palm wood is a gemstone made from petrified palm trees! My dream was correct. It looked like stone but it was wood. When I was writing down the dream I wanted to describe the spots as leopard spots but when I looked at those, they were different. Leopard spots have a white center inside the spot. The marble wood in my dream were just small spots. So my curiosity is peaked. Is there any reason why God used this particular wood in my dream? The same wood was used in a later dream about a carpenter who finished my house. I would be even more amazed if I discovered that this is the "gopher wood" used by Noah.

So I researched some more and I found out that no one knows what gopher wood is. But I discovered that the date palm was the only large tree native to southern Mesopotamia. I got excited by that. That is the correct species. However, the writer may have been making this assumption based on conditions after the flood. The same writer also said that this wood was not of much value as a building material so Noah must have imported cypress or cedar from other places This is also an assumption based on current conditions. I remember that Ellen White talked about the wood from the garden of Eden or heaven being as hard as marble.

Fulfilled Dream 2: The Fire (2004)
Background
I had this dream on February 11, 2004. It was my second dream. After this I decided to publish my dreams.

I used to work as a computer programmer in a hospital over ten years ago. The girl at the end of the last dream appeared in the beginning of this dream. We used to work at the hospital together. We never kept in touch but she is a devout Christian.

Dream
The Korean girl came to me for help. She was preparing for a wedding and they were having a crisis. They needed my arts and crafts skills. I helped at all sorts of jobs, I remember sewing the dress and filling tiny bags with scented flowers.

Then I was in a computer room looking at the tape backup machine. I was scolding Evan, this sixteen year old boy that I knew. His destructive behavior had damaged the machine. While we were in the room thick grey and black smoke started pouring out of the ventilation system. When we turned to run, we could see a ball of red hot flames through the glass doors in one direction. Evan said, "not that way" and he ran in one direction and I ran in another. That is the last time I saw him in the dream.

Somehow I had the feeling that I was in a church and a hospital all rolled up into one building. At the end of the dream, the front of the building, with the Roman columns, looked like one of the buildings on one of my college campuses.
I ran through several rooms trying to trip the alarms because I did not hear them. I shouted to the people in each room that a fire was coming and no one would believe me. Everybody laughed or ignored me.

I remember running through a kitchen and I tried to pull the fire alarm but it would not work. I pulled it off the wall and tried to trigger it or fix it, but I could not. The people in the kitchen would not believe me and they laughed. Two of them were friends that I knew. When I saw them I said to myself, "these are my friends, surely they will listen to me". But they did not.

I ran into a dining room and there were the people from the wedding in the earlier part of the dream. Some were lying on the floor and the table, sleeping. I tried to lift the bride off the floor. I tried to wake up others. One person got up but he looked either drunk or sleepy and he went back to sleep. Nobody would wake up or move so I left them.

Everywhere I went I tried to fix the alarm system and get people to leave and nobody would pay attention. Finally, just before I exited the building I heard the alarms and saw the flicker of flames far above my head. I had the sensation that God triggered the alarm. I felt that I could neither turn back or look back. I had to keep running forward as fast as possible. I do not know if anyone else got out of the building.

I ran out the center back, turned right and then turned right again to run down the left side of the building. I ran by the side of the building from the back towards the front on a narrow road. The burning building was to my right and a precipice to the left. I saw the tall columns in the front of the building - they were burned black. The building was completely burned black from the front to the middle and the rest was engulfed in flames from the middle to the back.

There was a fire engine approaching me but I could not get out of the way and I could not turn back or look back. The burning building was on the right and the precipice on the left. I hoped that they would see me and stop before they ran over me. I kept running forward.

Before they ran over me, I was suddenly taken up in the air above the fire engine as it drove by below me. This sensation was even more real than a daydream or waking imagination of floating. I felt that I was actually weightless and floating. It is a reality that I cannot recapture in my conscious thoughts.

Interpretation
God is coming. He will wake up the people.
I am puzzled about the meaning of the oriental people, but this is the second time in which they appeared and one of them is a girl I know named Kim. She was in both dreams as the woman on the bicycle and connected to the wedding. She is a devout Christian from South Korea who worked with me at the hospital.

Additional Comments
With this second dream, I am willing to entertain the thought that Joel 2 is being fulfilled. It also confirms my suspicions that the supernatural way in which I received knowledge (wisdom) about some of the information in the bible lesson studies was possibly a part of a new work by God. I am still getting used to the way dreams operate.

(April 2008)
Now that I know what this dream refers to I must tell you one impression that I have consistently had that I thought that I should not write because I did not know where it came from. I experienced the structure as the back of the Washington Adventist Hispital glued to the new front of the chemistry building at CUC. So the narrow road that I ran by is the road in the back that leads to the loading docks and emergency room. To the left, the precipice leads to the Sligo creek which runs behind the hospital.

Fulfilled Dream 3: The Rapture (2004)
Background
This dream went on for most of the night. I was exhausted when I woke up. I was definately more aware. At one point I remember saying that "I will not remember all of this when I wake up".

Dream
I do not remember how the dream started. I do not remember most of it. But this is what I remember. It was apparently the day of the Second Coming. I was being raptured and it was a slow process. I commented about how slowly we were ascending. I thought that it would be faster.
Although it was the last day, I did not see any of the glorious signs in the sky. My task appeared to be focused on returning to the earth to ask several people why they were not being raptured. As the day got later, I noticed that I was rising faster. I assumed that I was trying to catch up with those who had gone before. I did not see any angels. But I talked to them and they talked back. I was aware of their presence. At one point, because I did not see any of the glorious events associated with the Second Coming I said, "Where is Jesus?". I was directed to look up in the sky and I saw the figure of a man with a crown on a throne.

I only remember three encounters and a vague memory of one of my friends being in distress because of the loss of a family member. I cannot remember any more except that I thought it was her child.

The Two Sisters
The two women in the kitchen who appeared in the second dream showed up in this dream as brides maids sitting in a waiting room. They were lost. I asked them why they were not being raptured and they wanted to know how I floated up in the air. At first I thought it was a ridiculous question because when I started floating up, it was as natural an ability as walking. So it seemed that it was as silly a question as asking "How do you walk?" I told them that I do it at will. When I want to rise up, I would just start going up because I wanted to do so. They could not do the same thing.

I told them that I had a dream about them and I did not know what to do. I asked a mutual friend about them and was told that they are still active in church. We even thought that in my dream they probably represented all my friends and that the dream was not a personal appeal to them in particular. So I did not contact them after the second dream. I thought that there was nothing wrong for them.

She said that she wished that I had told her because there was something wrong.

A group waiting for a resurrection
I saw a friend standing in front of a row house with her family members surrounding her. There were two grave plots in front of the house and they were waiting beside it.
I heard her say, "I do not understand it, she was such a good woman."
I had the sense that she was waiting for a very old relative.
Then a small emerald green coffin came out of one of the graves and flew up to the sky.

My Family
One group I visited was my sister. She was playing volley ball while my other sister was in the kitchen. As I hovered above her, I asked her why she was lost. I know she heard me, but they all refused to acknowledge my presence.
The doorbell rang and there were her two dead grand aunts. They were fraternal twin sisters. I knew that they were dead, so they must have come up in the resurrection. But they also ignored me. So I concluded that they were lost also and this was the second resurrection. Therefore the dream was a mixture of the events of both resurrections.
Just before I left the doorbell rang again and there was her dead father. He was not a good man. I concluded that this was a meeting of the lost.

The End
This dream had a strange ending. It was late in the afternoon. I came down near a highway and there was a disabled car with a shattered windshield. The driver got out and said, "Look, there is a Seventh Day Adventist church". I turned around and saw a grey stone building that looked like a house. There was a name in big black letters that said "BESU". The rest of the sign said, "Seventh Day Adventist Book and Health Food Center".

Additional Comments
In this dream I was able to tell that I was dreaming and understand what was happening as the events unfolded.
I did not see a resurrection. I saw the rapture. But I was able to see two types of lost people. Those who would come up in the second resurrection and the living who realized that they were lost at the Second Coming. The group at the second coming responded to my questions. The group from the Second resurrection did not. I did see three dead family members who had no use for God while they were alive. Therefore, I was able to see the response of two groups of people who were lost. One group was sorrowful, the other decided to have a party and ignore any communication with the saved. Unfortunately, this party group was my family.

The green coffin was a strange symbol. I later concluded that the group was the church waiting for the resurrection. One plot was the righteous and the other the wicked. The emerald green is the color of the throne of God. The coffin represented the resurrection of the righteous dead who were raptured to the throne of God.
The disappointment of my friend at the loss of the "good woman" might represent the loss of people in the church that we were expecting to go to heaven.

I do not know what the "BESU" building represents. But that stone building looks familiar, like something from my imagination as a child. A "Deja Vous". It makes me wonder if I only had one vision as a child and probably the only reason why I remembered the first vision was because all the elements were so out of place. If the deck of cards is not the only vision, and this stone building was also part of an earlier vision, then I had three visions as a child because I had at least one other "weird" experience. All I remember about the third vision is that the next day when I went out to play with them, I wondered where the miniature village in the woods with the moving miniature people in the garden had disappeared to. When I could not find them, I wondered how could I have made up such a realistic event. Especially when I first thought that what I was seeing was impossible. I think I saw a group of people living in the woods because they were running away from a wicked king who wanted to kill them. They were dirty and they were sitting around a rough table. When I was older I blamed it on the book "Alice in Wonderland". But I am not sure if I saw this before or after I read the book. But while the book might explain my knowledge of running from persecution, it cannot explain the fact that what I saw was real and that even at that young age I thought that what I was experiencing was impossible. Nevertheless, I apparently could not deny the experience so for a long time after, I kept going back to that spot in the garden, wondering where they were.

My Last Confession. If you asked any member of my family about my supernatural experiences they will all tell you about the time I challenged Satan and won. I was about eight years old or younger. The only thing that happened was that I could not speak properly for about a month. I stammered terribly for about two weeks afterwards and I had to sit down with myself and teach myself how to speak again. That took about another two weeks. I was not dumb because I was afraid. I just could not speak. In fact, fear is the last word that could be used to describe my attitude. But I will say one thing about myself. I appeared to have a mature knowledge about God and the character of God, even though I was not taught these things. At an early age, I rejected all the superstitious behavior of everyone. I did not believe in ghosts even though every Jamaican believed in them. I don't know why. If I did not understand something, I instinctively knew that it was wrong and I always said, "I will wait until I am old enough to understand. When I am seventeen, I will think about this subject again". I remember when an adult gave me beer at about seven years old. I tasted it, spit it out and said, "Adults are stupid". From that time on, I never took what they said as pure truth. I never believed in Santa Claus or flying reindeer, or ghosts. I should have believed in ghosts, but I did not. Even when I heard about the ghosts that chased my mother when she was pregnant with me, or the ghost in white that walked through a solid locked door, went over to my crib and stood there looking at me for a long time. I always said that there must be another explanation, so I will wait until I am seventeen. But for some reason I believed in God. Totally. And I reasoned what His character must be. I did not know how to read yet.

I did not like the incident because I could not explain my behavior to myself. So I blamed myself or thought that I must have been the cause, some how. My step grandmother was involved in the occult arts. We called her "Aunt Sis". She hated my mother because she thought that her son could have done better. He was just interested in a pretty girl and was willing to be with her even though she was pregnant with the child of another man, me. So she was always mean to my mother, ignored me and was always visiting the witch doctor (hobea man) for more spells and potions. Every night she would read the Psalms with a candle and she was casting spells, touching the flames and muttering words. God bless her, because of her I read the bible because she was always reading it. However, she was reading the bible to do evil. I did not know any of this, and was not afraid of anything. I was too young and this behavior was hidden. My mother did not read the bible. But she would go to a man of God who would give her more potions and bottles of stuff to bury around the house to protect herself.
One night I started to do unexplainable things. I would light a candle and put it on the window by the front door outside the house. Then I would bring it inside and put it back out again. I don't think I was even praying or anything because I did not know much about these things. All I knew is that I wanted to do this and I had to. This is why I blame myself because I thought that I was being stubborn and playing with the candle. At some point my mother became aware of this candle. This is where I think I must have been responding from fear of her. I only say this because I can think of no rational explanation for my behavior or my great need to do what I was doing.
Anyway, I got them all to sit around the table with the candle and I started repeatedly saying "Aunt Sis is too bad. Aunt Sis is too wicked." They claim that I went into a trance. I couldn't tell. I think I even pointed out spots in the garden to dig up and there were buried bottles of stuff there. Even though I did not know God or religious rituals, I reasoned in my mind that If God was the creator, a stupid candle or buried bottle is foolishness to Him. So I blamed myself. I started stammering by that night. The next morning, I woke up unable to speak clearly. Of course she hated me more after that. But I did not care. She never showed me any affection. I remember her holding her two grand daughters as she told me that "you are just like you mother". As she was cursing me, all I could remember thinking was, "I wonder what that hug thing is". Don't feel sorry for me. Remember that I always had this unexplainable knowledge about God and His character and I instinctively got everything I needed from this invisible Person.

It was only in 2001, as God showed me why He used certain symbols with Nebuchadnezzar that I understood that God does use symbols that are familiar to people in order to reach them. Even though healing could be done at a distance, Paul used a handkerchief, Elisha used a rod because the people who needed help needed something tangible to help their faith. Maybe my mother needed that to release her fears. I certainly did not. I just had faith without these "interfering stuff".
To this day, I try to say that I must have been afraid of my mother even though I was not afraid. But I cannot explain my inability to speak. I was not that afraid.
Perhaps this incident made me keep the vision in the sky to myself. As that was occurring, a man rode by on a bicycle and he was not looking up in the sky, so I assumed that he did not see this great war that spread across the whole sky. So I kept my mouth shut.

Fulfilled Dream 4: The Awesome Signs in the Dark Skies (August 7, 2004)
Background
After five months of having no dreams I had a short dream on the morning of August 7, 2004. This week,God has once again shared some knowledge with me. He caused me to see the shape of the cross in Daniel 9: 27 and also in the sanctuary. I then really understood the meaning of the symbol of Moses and the snake. Fortunately, in a Bible study that Friday night someone reminded me that the snake was bronze.

Dream
It was total darkness on the earth. I was outside one night when I noticed a strange pattern of lights in the sky caused by shooting stars. I also noticed that it was occurring within a defined space. It was oval on top and straight on the sides but I do not remember if it was oval or square at the bottom. I called other people to look and we noticed that the stars were actually writing a message in the sky. Part of the first message said "shall not work". I cannot remember the second message and I do not remember what else came with the words of the first message. I just know that that was just a part of the message.
I concluded that it was the fourth commandment.

We went inside and discussed this strange development. Then I called everyone to come back out because another image was appearing in the sky. This time it was a bronze or copper colored Christ on a cross in profile.

We went inside even more excited and discussed what was happening to the world. Then I called everyone to come back out because another image was appearing in the sky. This time the clouds were obscuring the image. I brushed away the clouds with my hand. When it cleared there was an angel with a trumpet. He was standing to the extreme right of the sky facing the left. I interpret this as standing in the east.

We went inside to discuss what this means for the church. I noticed someone from the General Conference so I concluded that I must have been with some leaders from the church. As we discussed the implications there was a woman there who tried to dissuade us from linking or mentioning the Catholic Church in any of this. She tried to pass off this connection as a silly thing. So I stood up and made a very passionate speech to the group. I said that we were at war. A spiritual war, which has all the tactics and strategies of a conventional war. Therefore, we must expose the work of the enemy and tell the public what we know and put the evidence in front of the people before they occur. Then we will be better witnesses when the events happen. One person that I know sat down and really listened to me. I do not know what he did, but his interest was genuine.

Interpretation
The first image was clearly part of the fourth commandment. After I thought about it, it reminded me of Ellen White. She had a vision in which she saw God write the law in the sky with a "pen of fire" and He highlighted the fourth commandment. My pen of fire was the stars.

After thinking about the second image, I concluded that it was not the Second Coming. In fact, I believe it is the false Second Coming. The copper color reminded me of the bronze snake that Moses lifted up. If this were the real Christ, I expect the symbolism to be gold or white color. It also means that God will allow the expected Catholic vision of Blessed Faustina with a cross in the sky to occur.

The angel with the trumpet may be the final stages of the seventh trumpet. I called this angel Gabriel. However, there was nothing in the dream that mentioned his name.

Therefore, this dream gives me a sequence of events. It means that when the law of God is revealed, we must not only point out the importance of the Sabbath we must also point out the coming delusion that God will allow in a very short time.

All three symbols could also represent the termination of each of the three angel's message.

  1. Worship the creator and the reference to the Sabbath commandment.
  2. Babylon has fallen. The ultimate evidence of the fall is the coming of Satan to claim the kingdom of Babylon.
  3. Do not receive the plagues. This angel with the trumpet could be the one announcing the plagues or the seventh plague.

I am also aware of the fact that all that week God took steps to make sure that I understood the symbolism that correctly interprets the copper Christ on the copper cross as the appearance of the false Christ. It was very easy to immediately assume that it was the real Christ.

The Woman in our Church. There is also the influence of another woman on the leaders in our church. Her mission is to prevent us from teaching what we know about prophecy. A woman is symbolic of a church. So a force that is sympathetic to Catholic beliefs is attempting to influence our leaders. It is probably the same group that ripped the Worldwide church of God apart by infiltrating its leaders.
But their plan will fail. Unlike the WCG, Adventist lay people have a wide number of independent leaders. Adventist websites are sprouting everywhere, like autumn leaves. It will take more than controlling our leaders to control this message.

The Leader. The man who listened to me is the only person that I personally know along with his family who is in a leadership position at the General Conference. You should know who you are. I have said two or three incoherent sentences to you. But I have had a real conversation with your other family members. We may be headed for a crisis in leadership and you may need to stand up.

Fulfilled Dream 5: Trapped Underground (November 20, 2004)
Background
Another Sabbath morning dream. Apparently, there was a significant disaster that had destroyed a wide area. This included several buildings and parking structures. My home was next to this rubble and the dream begins several months after the disaster.
I was also getting accustomed to the fact that dreams can switch scenes and that I can appear in a scene with built in knowledge. After waking up from earlier dreams I used to wonder how I knew certain things when I had not been explicitly told them in the dream.

Dream
As I was lying in my bedroom I heard cries for help. I looked out my window to the rubble beside my house and I saw a group of oriental men, women and children trapped in the darkness underground. Initial rescue efforts must have missed them. They had been living underground for months. The man spoke to me. They were able to find food and water by crawling around underneath the collapsed buildings.
I ran to the living room and told my grandmother and she pointed to the phone and continued with her conversation. She did not act as if there was anything important or urgent.
Several times I dialled the emergency number 911 and could not get the phone to ring. So I went outside with the phone to see if I could get a better reception. My sisters and the neighborhood were outside having a wild party. Nobody could hear me in the noise and nobody cared.
As I kept dialling I finally got a response. However, she said that I had dialled 811 not 911. She could not help me but she would connect me to 911. I shouted to the people to be quiet so that I could hear. But unfortunately, as I listened it was clear that I was not connected. The call had been terminated.
I ran down the street to get away from the noise, but the phone would not work. As I reached the corner I saw my stepmother and two other sisters with their children, including a girl child that I did not recognize. I hugged them and then I asked if they had a cellular phone and one of my sisters (P.) said yes. But when I told her why I needed the phone, she took it back and refused to help me. I was so distressed that I ran down the road crying. She ran after me, sorry for what she did.
It was my utter grief that woke me up. But just as I was waking up I saw a van that appeared to be a news crew.

Interpretation
This is my third dream about appeals for help which are ignored. But all have different symbolism. This continues a series in the same theme. I call for help from the world and there is none. Then I call my friends and they do not help. They ridicule. Finally, in this dream even my family does not help and they even try to obstruct my efforts.
I am now even more intrigued by the continued appearance of an oriental group who need help. They were not Chinese or Korean, they were darker. They were not people that I knew. Is God planning a significant work in the 10/40 window? If the dreams are accurate, then nobody, including the church, fulfills their responsibility and God does the work Himself at the last moment.
I am also disturbed at the lost state of my family.

Additional Comment
Now that I have a series of three dreams about the same topic, I believe that I have received them chronologically backwards. Both the work of God and the response of the people appear more developed in the first dream. The people used the finished work in the first dream. They asked for help but were asleep in the second. They were just trapped and hopeless in the third.
God finished the work in the first dream, I was only vaguely aware that He might have triggered the alarm in the second. I could not find Him in the third. There was only this strange sensation that the van might help. But there was no sounding of an alarm. There was only despair.

Since God has also taught me how He combines multiple elements in a dream I wonder if the great disaster and people trapped might be a reference to the terrible tragedy in Asia on December 26, 2004.
If so, and if the dreams are backwards then maybe we will be threatened by balls of fire next and encased in ice by a very severe winter later. But I still believe that the primary purpose of the dreams is the preparation for the work of God.

In January 2005, the branch of the family that tried to obstruct me did call my house trying to find out information about my website. I have not spoken to some of them in 15 years. I smell an intervention coming. This is probably the obstruction that I dreamed about. Incidentally, it is now April 2006, and I realize that after ganging up to call me with their pretended interest none of them have called back or emailed about the site even though they promised to do so and it was the sole topic of our conversation. And they were the ones who steered the conversation to this topic. But my sister seemed to be sorry at the end.

Dream 6: White Clothes (December 2, 2004)
Dream
I was asked to help with an Indian wedding by serving the food. I did not like the clothes that I was wearing and asked an Indian girl if I could wear white clothes. She gave me a dirty white sari (selwar). It smelled and had stains and it was frayed at the ends. It was too late to find new clothes so I served the food in the dirty clothes.
When I was done, I took some soap and bleach and washed them. I cut of the strings of thread hanging from the frayed dress and repaired it. When it dried it was such a brilliant white that it was shining. It also had a faint blue glow. I gave this dress back to the girl.

Interpretation
The symbols are again of the Second Coming. I help people to prepare for a wedding. I help by serving the food or the word of God. My clothes are washed white by the righteousness of Christ. I notice that I must wash my clothes. This does not mean that I am getting my own righteousness. But Revelation describes the righteous as those who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.
The people are Indian not Oriental. But they are from the continent of Asia. Again these foreign lands and people invade my dreams. I keep thinking that again this is the website. I am serving the food of God as best as I can but it is still less than a perfect state. However, I am able to achieve the perfection needed so that I could give it back. The one area in which I lack perfection is in the translation. Therefore, I will probably be able to fix the translations for this website and give it to the Asian people.

Fulfilled Dream 7: The Construction Project (February 4, 2005)
Background
God had "laid it on my heart" to rewrite all the lessons and sections that I had not written. It started a two month process of revelation. The first was Daniel 12. I read it, and I was not any wiser. Then I remembered when Israel crossed the Jordan. The river did not part until the priests stepped into the water with the ark. So I started with verse one and began writing. As soon as I started writing I immediately understood the rest.

Dream
I went to a builder to purchase a home. When I went to the lot I noticed that it was a place at the center of a cross road. It was a "T" intersection. My house was at the center of the road running east to west. In front of it was a road running north to south that ended in my street. My sister bought a home on that road. One problem was that the lots were narrow and it would only allow a one car garage. I needed to fit two cars so I changed the design to fit two cars parking in tandem. As I was contemplating this I noticed that the first floor of the building was already constructed. It was white and had no roof. The garage was attached on its right side and it had a roof. I went into the garage and the real estate agent had a clipboard with a checklist of things to do, she was still asking for my design instructions while she was helping a man to build the interior of the garage! He was a carpenter who was working on the cabinets. He was polishing them. I thought that it was such beautiful work for a mere garage. She held the clipboard in one hand and was doing something with the other. It looked like she was putting on plaster or paint with her bare right hand. But the white walls looked neat. The garage was finished with beautiful cabinets like the ones on the boat in my first dream. But they were only cabinets from the floor to the waist. There were no upper cabinets. She told me that I could move in even though there was no roof.

I walked through a door into the kitchen and it was finished. The beautiful upper and lower cabinets were a different kind of cherry wood, there was a floor but no roof. I looked beyond that to the great room. The room seemed to be bigger than it should be for the size of the lot. There seemed to be no wall on the east side. There was a stairway leading up to the second floor, but there was no second floor or roof. Then I noticed something odd about the floor. It was made of rough outdoor material. Apparently, I had not finished giving my specifications. In fact the only specification that I had made was to fit two cars in the garage. The floor was made of loose plant material, rough bark stripped from trees and a transparent loose weave material that reminds me of something that comes from a coconut tree. This material from the coconut tree made the floor transparent so that I could see the basement below. There were people there walking around in a circle. I think that it was counter-clockwise, but I am not sure. I recognized one Indian girl. (She happened to visit my house unexpectedly later that same day for the first time!). The floor also had a perfect round hole about the size of my fist. Around the edges of the floor were stones of different colors placed with no apparent design. I believe that I was more upset about the mismatched stones than the strips of plant material. When I stepped on the stones I knew that I had to replace them. They were plastic and they caved in when I walked on them.

Interpretation
The symbols are again of the work being done for the Second Coming using the Feast of Tabernacles images. But there were differences. I was no longer asking for help. and there was a man helping me. He was a finishing carpenter who had built the cabinets. He probably built the house also. I had no help in none of my previous dreams, except for what appeared to be God taking over at the end. It almost seems as if God is also saying that the work is complete when I replace the stones. I can occupy the building. I had felt compelled to change some of the lessons since December 2004. This series of editing will be done by the end of February 2005. So I expect a change after this time. At the end of March 2005, it will be 3.5 years since we have been on the internet.

In a strange way, I believe that I was both myself and the real estate agent.
The plastic stones that I wanted to replace were obviously the final editing work that I had been doing for the past month. This would be later confirmed as the Spirit led me to understand the greater meaning of the Great Tree in Daniel 4 and other information about Jesus. Such as, the Mother's milk, and the law of the bridegroom.
The roofless building was built for the feast of tabernacles. However, the floor also met the specifications for a tabernacles roof for the people in the basement.
The single car garage that actually fit two cars is symbolic of the two-in-one relationship in a marriage. Marriage also represents the Second Coming. It is significant that the carpenter had finished this room. Jesus has completed the preparation of a place for us. It is time for Him to come.
A Home. In my Father's house are many mansions: if not, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14: 2-3)
Since I was so busy, it took me over two weeks to write down this dream. So it was just today that I realized the full implication of the fact that the man working quietly in the background was a carpenter! God has been my helper.

Now that I have a series of dreams, I notice one other pattern besides the presence of a group from Asia. At some point, In all of them I am above watching the people below. Does this mean that I will die before the Second Coming? I do not mean that I go to heaven and watch from above, but that I am no longer here. And will this strange text comes through. "Blessed are those who die in the Lord from this point ... because their works follow them". (Revelation 14: 3)

Audience. One other theme that I noticed since the fifth dream was the audience. From the first to the sixth dream they all rejected my pleas for help. In the seventh, I called myself to help me. And I responded. And God openly helped me. After this, in my "day-dream-visions" people appear to listen because there is no other option. They can no longer deny their external circumstances.

Fulfilled Dream ?: Homeless in Florida (Before December 2004)
Background
This dream occurred some time in 2004, but I am writing what I remembered on April 11, 2008. In the earlier stages, I had thrown away several dreams if I could not remember them accurately or if I had information and I could not account for how I received it. This included the following dream that I thought I had written down after the 2004 tsunami when I realized that another dream that did not make sense was fulfilled.

Dream
I was homeless in Orlando, Florida. I do not know why I thought it was Orlando. I was living in a tiny three sided shelter on the street at a busy intersection (three solid sides one open side). Someone was living in a booth to the left of me. For some reason I thought that it was my grandmother. This may account for why I thought that this occurred in Orlando. The insides seemed colorful in a busy mismatched way. There was a long curtain against one wall and I was lying in a cot at the back of the shelter. The front had no wall and I was exposed to all the people walking by.
Suddenly, I was walking along the bank of a canal and I believe that someone I know named Heather G. was with me. I can only remember her walking on the bank of the river but she may have been in the next building with me. At the end of the canal I entered a building. I have forgotten almost everything about it. The only images I had were of a waiting area with a room to the left that was black like the insides of a theatre. I could only see a black chair at the end of a row. Then I believe I went down some stairs. Later on I seemed to be at a loading dock that had two street signs pointing left and right. There was a name, but I forgot it. I went to the left and opened the door and it ended on what seemed like a balcony with rails. I looked down on a lush green hillside and I saw the red roofs of some beautiful buildings. I thought that it must be paradise.

Interpretation
The booth that I was in is a feast of Tabernacles image.

Dream 8: Going Home (September 4, 2005)
Background
This was also a day of many visions and new experiences in my visions.

Dream
I forgot many of the details. I was lost in a neighborhood that I initially thought was my home. Every place that I turned, every street that I walked down did not lead to home. Even places that I thought were familiar did not lead to my home or family. As night approached I thought of one place that was almost family, that was the church. So I searched for a Seventh Day Adventist church. I eventually found one and told them that I was lost in this place that looked like my home but was not home. I described my home, my address and my street. They said this is the wrong place. They knew where my home was. It was forty miles away. I asked if we could find someone who was going my way who could take me home when church was over.

Interpretation
This was a very hopeful dream. The Seventh Day Adventist church knew the way to heaven. This counterfeit place where I was lost is the earth. I do not belong here. Heaven, or my home was forty miles away. It is the first indication of a timeline that I have ever had. The number forty is significant. Before they ended a significant test the righteous had to experience forty series of events. Israel wandered in the desert for forty years. Christ fasted for forty days and nights. Noah and Moses also had a period of forty days. But the key is that even though it was forty periods of trial, God was actively with them. I have forty miles to reach home and I will get there with the Seventh Day Adventist church and with God actively and openly in control of my life.

Update (March 2006)
I failed to mention this before but it has been bothering me for months as I tried to make sense of how my childhood is related to this dream. I have never had dreams before, but I remember this as "a weird experience" that I had when I was about 13 years old. I would probably call it a vision now. But then I characterized it as "a daydream with extreme emotions" because it was in my head. It was the exact same information. It happened as I was walking home from Church one Saturday afternoon.
I had recently come to live with my grandmother because my stepfather said that I was no longer welcome in his house. I was met at the gate and told that I could not come in. My mother had to hand me my clothes over the fence through her tears. I thought that this knowledge of being home but not being welcome was the source of this daydream. Even though it had a life of its own and was not normal, I could still find an explanation for it. The daydream was the exact same dream that I had. The only new or forgotten detail was the reference to "forty miles".

Fulfilled Dream 9: The Athletes (October 12, 2005)
Background
Ever since February, I have assumed that I was finally complete. Again. There has been no more instruction. There has been the urge to explain more. So I wrote lessons on Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the minor prophets. I also wrote an article on the source of legends and investigated more Catholic eschatology. But I have been waiting to see how God would do the translations. I even postponed my "retirement" from this project because I was waiting for God. By September I started packing up to prepare for my homelessness. I have no financial resources that will last after April 2006.

Dream
As usual, I forgot part of this dream. I was preparing for a race with other athletes. When I was younger I used to be an athlete. But now that I am woefully unhealthy (fat) I thought that it was hilarious that I would volunteer to enter a race, ignoring my physical limitations and expect that I had a chance to win. Before the race, the athletes entered what looked like a basketball court that was on a balcony. As we stood there I looked over the rails and the place appeared cloudy. Then I saw Jesus standing in front of a white temple with tall columns and steps. He was wearing a shimmering gold robe. His hair was shoulder length, white and wooly and He was wearing a crown. The wooly hair looks like how a black person's hair looks just before it needs a perm. It is thick and puffy but only slightly wavy. The other athletes seemed to either be unable to see Him or recognize him. But I ran up to Him and hugged Him. I said, "Where have You been? I missed you". Then He appeared to scold me. He either said that I still have not explained everything or why have I not finished explaining the creation? There is more work to be done. Then He explained what I had missed. This is the part of the dream that I have forgotten. It seems to have something to do with the creation. He told me that I should stop looking to others for help. Do not blame them. Look at myself. Look at what I have. Then the dream seemed to repeat itself. This time, when I ran up to Jesus I was not told to do more.

Interpretation
I was really beginning to be irritated with my "friends". I may even have been verge of hating some of them because I could not understand why they could not do the minimum. Why did they refuse to even hear what I have to say. Why did they assume the most negative attitude from the beginning and then try to support that. I feel ashamed of myself when I am with them, because I cannot understand why. So I assume that the worst thoughts about me must be running through their brains. So I am overly self conscious and I want to avoid them at all costs.
I have not forgotten that God has been my helper and friend. But I appear to be grieving like David grieved for Absolam. I think God is telling me to get over it. First, because He is my helper. The only one that I need. Second, they are my friends and His children. This resentment is not to be harbored. I seem to also expect the worst from God for myself and my personal needs.

The Unfinished Work. I prayed and I did not receive any miraculous download of answers. So I went through each lesson to see what I was not sure about.
As I read Daniel 7: 12, a light bulb turned on and I recognized that the "appointed time" might be the same year that Babylon would return. Serendipity also led me to remember that I had not explained the woman with the ephah in Zechariah 5. Both prophecies are about Babylon the Great. But neither involved the creation.
So I turned to the one prophecy that I did not understand, which I had previously thought might be related to the creation. This was probably because it was connected to the first Angel's message and that is when the first creation connection popped into my head. It was a subject that I actively avoided thinking about because it was the only sealed prophecy that did not list the contents. The contents of the other sealed prophecy were written, but they could not be understood until the end of time. I was waiting for God to explain it even though I thought that no one would believe me.

Since the Holy Spirit was still ignoring my requests to help me (no miraculous downloads), and He was acting as if I already knew the answer I proceeded to use the methods that the Holy Spirit does. I proceeded to study all the things that He taught me. For some reason my mind turned to Psalm 29 and it made all the difference. I still do not know if that is it by November 8. But I feel that I have made a strong case for what the seven thunders might have addressed. By Wednesday November 9, I had the outline written and the supporting texts and I was confident that as a theological paper I had made a very sound argument. But I prayed to God that night and I said that "I wished that I could find a reference to each thunder in the Bible". Because I was sure people would say that I am "adding to the words of God". Then the next night my mind reminded me to look at my list of Bible references to "thunder". I had researched all the others except the verses in Revelation because I thought that I knew them. There were seven references. Could it be? As I read each of them, they all related to the subject that I believed that each thunder must address. I had my biblical references and they were in order. So it appears that they were written down and scattered among the rest of the prophecies. That is how they were sealed.
The process of understanding this prophecy was fascinating. My mind led me to everything without wasting any energy on anything irrelevant. But it was still not a miraculous download of information that left me in awe like previous instruction. But I still did not have to use my smart brain "to figure it out". I was led to everything I needed by following His ways. I used only my Bible, a concordance, Prayer and referenced all the things that He personally taught me. And He pointed me to Psalm 29. And I believed that this was the will of God. And once again my assumption proved true. My dreams appear to be about the church and God's final efforts to reach it.

Another Fulfillment (15 July 2008). I think I received my "do it again" instructions when the dream appeared to "repeat itself". On March 5, I thought that "it was finished" and I would receive no more instructions. But on May 15-16, I realized that I had to do the lesson on Job, but without His download of information only His promptings. I had to do the lesson from my own experience. As I was doing this I realized that the athletes were training for the olympics in China. This week the Americans were having their trials to see who made the team. They must be the athletes in my dream. I was also an athlete training for a different kind of race that mattered. No wonder I was confident that I would win, even though I was woefully fat. When I saw us training on a balcony, it must be that I would complete this phase of the prophecy during my resurrection phase. And today He made me expound on "The Gift and Price of Salvation". So I had not explained the creation and I did it with the lesson on the seven thunders. And I also had not finished explaining everything which I have now done with Job. So all the confusion and anomalies and lost memories were supposed to happen. Awesome! And His instructions about looking to Him and not others is even more timely today. And like Job I must actively pray more earnestly for my friends because my captivity is soon over. That is why the dream instructs me not to be angry with them. So I will bless those who curse me and pray for those who despitefully use me with even more fervor. I have never prayed for their hurt or sorrow or revenge, but for their good and that they will not feel to ashamed that they cannot approach me. But knowing this, I will pray for them with more understanding even though I desperately want to hide from them.

Fulfilled Dream 10: The Old Woman (December 8, 2005)
Background
It is possible that this dream is my unconscious attempt to find a solution to my financial problems. But it is so symbolic and I have never had a dream that was not prophetic.

Dream
There was an old woman who lived in a skyscraper in a northern American city. I thought it was New York. The building was old but very strong and sturdy. The rooms were large with high ceilings but the walls and furniture needed to be replaced and updated. The walls had a popcorn texture and drab paint. The furniture and appliances were from the 1950's. The building seems to be occupied by other old people who were waiting to die. I was in the penthouse apartment of the old woman who owned the building. Because I had been very kind to her she invited me to her home. She had no heirs or relatives and she wanted to leave her vast fortune to me. She was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. She owned this building and a profitable amusement park in the south. It was bigger than disney world. She wanted me to take over that corporation also. This was an attractive offer because when I met her on the street I was virtually homeless. However, I did not feel that I had a right to her property. She invited me to look around the apartment. I felt that I was intruding and did not want to go throughout her house, especially when I wanted to change its interior. It was then that I had the sense that she was not dying, but that she would die only when I agreed to take over. It was like a changing of the guards. The house was mine to change as I wanted. I was still not happy about this.

Her bedroom was huge, there were two large beds arranged in tandem. I saw two other bedrooms on the left side of the house. One was a boy's room. In the back was a honeymoon or bridal suite. It was dark inside. The woman had either preserved her bridal suite as it was on the day of her honeymoon or she was still waiting for her honeymoon. I went back through the huge rooms and there were three rooms with tables and chairs. I guess there was a breakfast room, lunch room and dinner room. It seemed as if this house had a room for each phase of life. I wondered what the rent was for such a huge apartment in New York. I only went in one other room on the right side of the house because I felt as if I was intruding. The woman kept animals in this room. There was a lamb, a goat and a pig. Some how the animals got loose and they went out the door and fell into a raging river that was running on the right side of the building. The lamb drowned but the other two animals survived. I began weeping over the lamb and I was full of sorrow.

It was at this point that I told myself that this must be a dream. This fact did not comfort me. I was still crying over the cute little lamb. I did not care if the other animals had died, but not the lamb. Then I heard a voice saying, "Do not worry, the lamb is supposed to die". I was still unhappy. I went back to the room where the animals had been and I saw two rats. One was fat and the other was skinny. I opened the sliding glass door and they ran out. I closed it, trapping them in the cold outside, on the balcony. They would die of exposure. I did not feel like going through the rest of the house. I began feeling sorry for the other old people living in the building because I knew that if another owner took possession that they would be driven out of this prime real estate. But I would take care of them. God had tested me over and over again on that point in the real world and I had passed.

I did not know what to do with the profitable amusement business. Should I sell it or change it into a business that reflected my moral values. It would be an up hill battle. I would be closing the park on Friday evening to Saturday, perhaps their most profitable day. I also thought that it would be wrong to sell an immoral business and let the immorality continue. After all, if this was a business that sold illegal drugs I would close it, not sell it. The responsibility seemed enormous. The woman reminded me that I had the skills. I saw myself in the corporate headquarters dressed in my rags, facing a whole group of well dressed people of another color. I probably did not look capable or credible to them. This would be an enormous war. I wondered how she ran the business. It seemed as if it no longer reflected her values. She was waiting for me. I had removed the rats in the penthouse, could I change the whole corporation? Did I even want the job?

Interpretation
The woman is the church that needs updating, cleaning and a return to her moral values. The old woman in the north was the owner with the authority. The headquarters was full of old fossils waiting to die. But they must be cherished and cared for. The business in the south must also be the church that had gotten out of its business and awy from its values. The fact that it is an amusement park means that it must be an attractive business to both the church and the world. We do not need to be ashamed of the gospel or apologetic.
The beds in tandem reminded me of the cars in tandem in my seventh dream. The banished rats reminded me of the scapegoat. Fat Satan and his evil followers, must be removed from the church.
The fat and thin rat also remind me of the fat and thin cows. Does this mean that evil has one more year when they will get what they want, and after that it is famine for them. This means that evil will still increase in power in 2006 and by 2007 there will be a reversal for them. Unfortunately, their reversal could mean persecution for the world.
In this dream I am also on top and the church is below or down south. I am on top by being both in a penthouse and being in the north. This symbol of being in the penthouse may mean that God is willing to continue working with me and place me in charge of the work He has given me to do. He will provide the finances. In fact, the riches are already mine if I will accept it.

Dream 11: The Pit Bulls (April 8, 2006)
Background
Another Sabbath morning dream. It appears that most of my dreams are on Saturday morning. As usual, I do not remember the dreams and it is so frustrating. This is actually the twelfth dream but I had forgotten so much of one and it seemed to be personal so I did not write it down. I should have known better because I have never had a personal dream. But in December 2004 I had my fifth or sixth dream. I had a Sabbath morning dream in which I was visiting my sister who lived in an apartment building which seemed to be carved into a mountain and appeared like a mountain. But there was a huge disaster and around the base of the apartment building mountain were piles and piles of coffins and mail boxes. I was climbing the stacks of debris to see if my sister was safe because the only things that appeared to survive were on top of the mountain.
Of course this is the dead people and homes washed away in the tsunami and earthquake of December 26, 2004. I have now come to realize that everytime I see my dear sister who I am trying to save it is a symbol of all my loved ones, my church.

Dream
I was building again. I knew I built some attachment to a house but I cannot remember more. Then probably because of the success of it, my carpenter and I were asked to build a three sided addition to a church. It was actually my church because I actually saw my pastor. It seemed as if the building was an extension for the youth. The carpenter built the building in one day. It was made of bricks and had glass panels in the sloping sides of the ceilings and glass all the way across the ridge at the top.
Then the dream switched scenes to something that seems unrelated. I was walking down a road with my sister in a forest with gigantic green trees. We passed by a chain-linked fenced house which had the front gates opened. On the front steps two pit bulldogs were sitting. They were barking at us. She was walking in front of me. As we passed the gate the larger dog rushed out and ran by me and jumped up and lunged at her neck. He wounded her slightly but I had some "Tea Tree Oil" in a bag and I used it on her wounds. But before I healed her, I swatted the dog and then stepped on its head and crushed his face into the ground so that I suffocated him. The other dog did not move but it kept on barking.

Interpretation
Once again it is the church that God is building. One thing that is fascinating was the behavior of the dogs towards me. In the previous dream I thought that the two rats were afraid of me. In this one I was tempted to think the same thing, but it was something more or something else. They seemed to ignore me. But I killed one.
This points to two things that I am doing. I am building something the church needs and I am also challenging the evil forces. They are ignoring me because they think that I am insignificant. This is probably good for me. So I am not only lighting a candle, I am also cursing the darkness or at least I am exposing it.
I am now convinced that both must be done because in one vision in which the darkness was engulfing the world, it was not a benign thing that was simply defeated by light. It was a living darkness. It was malevolent. It has a life and a purpose and it was determined to pursue the people and challenge the light.

Dream 12: Stampede (May 6, 2006)
Background
This is the third dream in a row with evil animals.

Dream
As usual I cannot remember most of the dream but this is all that I can recollect.
There was a stampede on a road. There was a wooden fence on their right side and the white cows were running to the left of the fence towards to the right side of my field of vision (east). I was standing behind the fence urging them on.
Then I ran to safety up a tree, because behind them was another group of stampeding animals and I did not think that I could run to the safety of the building in time. They were black, viscious, hairy cows with horns. The closest thing that they looked like were buffalos but they were thinner and taller. They were as tall as horses. Although there was a fence between me and the road I felt that I had to get to safety in the tree. They were chasing the cows. Then one of them turned to run after me. I was not afraid because animals with hooves and cloven feet cannot climb trees. But this one did. It behaved like a human. It climbed the tree and tried to come after me. This was unexpected. I was afraid. Somehow I got out of the tree and ran towards a building. It ran after me. I believe that I escaped. But the dream was scary. The fear woke me up.

Interpretation
In the first two dreams the evil animals seemed afraid of me and I defeated them. But they grew more bold and viscious until they came after me.

This is not good. Evil has now become so bold and powerful it is no longer hiding in the shadows.
This dream has some elements of an incidence in my childhood. When I was about four years old I was at a neighbor's house and her bull ran after me. I still have a scar on my nose as a result of that encounter. Perhaps Satan tried to kill me then because of what I did at the age of 3½. He must have realized that the Holy Spirit was with me then. I do not know if I will tell that story yet, I use it to show my little sister how much I loved her and was willing to suffer for her. Black mail.

I do not know if this means anything but I was above watching again. But because the Satanic animal was able to attack me I am going to assume the "being above" does not mean that I am dead. Unless it is my work and reputation that he attacks when I die. Otherwise being above means some sort of leadership or watchman role.

Dream 13: The Exodus and Reunion (May 18, 2006)
Background
I am finally certain that I have been having other visions as a child, but because they were rare and they were not external visions like the deck of cards, I assumed that they were just unusual, emotional day dreams that were related to my life experience and the despair that I felt. I also believed that I initiated these "day dreams" by what I was thinking or seeing. However, they did have a life of their own independent of me after that. But because I believe that I was the initial cause I was reluctant to openly call them visions also. The adult day dream visions were never initiated by me or my surroundings.
I believe that I must have had this day dream vision when I was between 14 and 15. This is when my life really turned upside down and I moved about eleven times in three to four years. Each time we became poorer and I was eventually separated from my sisters.
I should have known that there was something odd about this day dream because parts of it were not logical. All my ordinary day dreams were logical. But I would never have accepted a call from God as the explanation. Even now I find it difficult to accept that as an explanation.

Day Dream (Phase 1)

Background
I was sitting on the porch of our new shack, looking across the road at our old shack where my cousins lived. At this new location we did not even have our own shower or outhouse or electricity. We had to use the neighbor's outhouse and I had to bathe in the dark. Our house did not have a roof or floor. It was tiny with just four concrete walls and a porch. My grandmother used it for her sewing business. We put six sheets of used zinc on top, patched the holes with tar and used cinder blocks to hold down the roof. Then we built another shack next to it out of particle board. It was at this point that I was separated from my sisters. Conditions had deteoriated. They went to live with their paternal grandmother in a nicer house and I stayed with our maternal grandmother. The grass was greener on the other side. As I looked at the old house that was enclosed by a fence made of old, rusty sheets of zinc I had this day dream.

Dream
A community of people lived inside a fenced enclosure until the sudden appearance of a volcano. The threat increased and so the government had to remove them from the area. But there was no place found for all of them in the country where they were living. The neighbor next door in another fenced community said that he could take some of them but he did not have enough room for all of them. So some people took their houses and loaded it up on wheels and moved there. As for the rest, the government moved them on ships to a remote uninhabited island in the Pacific ocean. They had to leave their homes behind and rebuild everything.

Dream (Phase 2)
The second half of this series occurred as the dream that I had this morning. It was many years later, the volcano had not erupted and the people could go back to their property. So the government went back to the remote island and brought those people back. Everyone wanted to return and their old homes were still there. The others who had found a home next door decided to move with their homes back to their original location. So the whole community was reunited after many years.

Interpretation
This is definitely a symbol of the two groups of the church getting back together. I mean the Jews and the Gentiles getting back together as one nation of Israel. This is prophesied in the Old Testament.
From the background you can see why I said this could have been a normal event triggered by my surroundings. However, the day dream did take over and create itself independent of me. So, because of the followup dream years later I will classify the experience as a vision.

Fulfilled Dream 14: Dragon Slayer (Sabbath May 20, 2006)
Background
This was so weird that I am trying to decide how to categorize it. From a rational point of view, the best that I can say is that I had a dream in which I thought that I was awake, but I was actually dreaming about having a vision!

Dream
I "woke up" with several bible texts in my head about the promises and care of God for those who trust Him. It cheered me up and I was wondering if they were meant for me in this life or if I had to wait for the next life when I was confident that all His promises would be fulfilled. I still do not know how to relate to His promises and capture them for the here and now because He usually does not answer my prayers for personal needs.
Then suddenly I had a day dream vision in which I was above watching someone in a shining silver armor and struggling to pull something with a rope over her right shoulder. Although I could not see the face, I knew that I was watching myself.
The armor did not seem to fit well and looked more like a hindrance.
Then I had another day dream vision. It was a black and white image of a poor Chinese woman. She was standing at the front door of a shack, her hair was flat on top, parted in the center and stuck out at either end as if she had received a haircut with a dull spoon. But she was grinning from ear to ear.
When that was over and I was back with myself I wondered about these two unrelated visions in a row. I had not received any visions for about two months.
So I concentrated on the first vision and I began to laugh at myself as I remembered how I was struggling to pull this burden. I wondered if I was pulling the boat from my first dream in which a Chinese girl was riding in front.
Then I heard a voice saying, "You need to become one with the armor". It was at this point that I appeared to control some of the events, at least I controlled my decisions. As I wondered how to do that, I said that I need to find a better fitting armor or I need to practise using this armor.

Then, some how, I was at the throne of God, and there were steep steps leading from His throne which was sitting very high up on a mountain. I was running back and forth, clank ... clank .. clank, in my metal armor in front of the floor between the throne and the steps. I tried to go down the steps but it was impossible. I thought that I would certainly trip and have a nasty fall. So I went back to running around with my sword, making no progress with feeling comfortable in the armor. As I watched myself I was trying my best not to laugh. What did I think I was going to do? I can visualize using the armor of God as a defensive weapon, but I seem to be preparing for an offensive attack. I can barely walk one block without needing to sit down! What am I doing running around with a sword?
I do not know what God was doing, I assumed it was His voice. All I could see was a giant person sitting in a white robe. All I saw were feet and knees.
Then I heard the voice saying again, "You need to become one with the armor".
Then, I was certainly no longer in control of the events. Suddenly the armor started to get smaller and tighter and it began to fuse with my flesh. My first thought was "how am I going to go to the bathroom?" The flexible parts had the appearance of chain mail or a knitted sweater, only the breast plate appeared to be smooth. From head to foot I was a creature made from flesh and metal. It looked like it hurt but she seemed comfortable. The sword in my right hand was gold. It would appear and disappear at will. At first I thought that it was like a light saber in Star Wars. But it was a solid sword that seemed to be somehow sheathed in my inner arm. I looked at my wrist to see if it came shooting out of some contraption like Spider Man's web, but there was nothing. So I looked up my arm to see how the sword was attached and still allow my elbow to bend. And I could not see how it was done. So I said to myself, "You can't even figure out how you are going to go to the bathroom, just be grateful that the sword appears when you want it". So I ran back and forth across the floor in front of the throne and up and down the stairs. I was one with my armor. And I was thin and athletic!
I must also add that at the point when I began practising in front of the throne there were three versions of myself in this story. There was the person who thought that she was awake having a vision. There was the practical me who I heard but never saw and who had the bible verses and advice and there was the fearless me in the armor. The brains and thoughts of the practical and fearless me seemed to be one. She heard what I said or thought.

Dragon Slayer
Suddenly I was in an endless, barren field of tall, dry grass about 10 inches high (25 cm). The sky was darkened by a black mist and flying across the field from the east, filling up the whole sky was a great dragon. Its belly was light yellow, the sides and top appeared to be dark red, but the top was black. As soon as I saw him flying around as if he owned the world I became angry and I pointed my sword straight up and leaped up into the air with great force until I pierced his belly near the center. Then, in the same motion, I ripped him open by sliding the sword from his belly to his mouth and split his bottom jaw. (Even after I woke up and was recounting the vision, I could still physically feel the resistance of His jaw as the sword cut through). I had jumped miles into the air. Then we both fell to the earth. As we were falling I said, "Oh no, I am going to be covered with blood and guts and stomach acid". But a ball of fire came out of his body instead.
I was watching myself fall under this massive cloud of fire and smoke and dust and I thought that I was crushed. Then I saw myself emerge from the billowing clouds and fire near the head of the dragon. Then I (the practical one watching from the side) said, "The righteous can live in the consuming fire". So I must have heard myself say this and I ran back into the fire, remembering that David cut off the head of Goliath. So I leaped on his back and started hacking at his neck with the sword. Then He swung his big black tail towards me and I remembered from one of the trumpets in Revelation that their tails could sting. So I stood up and waited for his tail to come towards me. I remembered that the total force of two opposing forces in collision is equal to the sum of both forces! The third me who thought she was awake having a vision said, "Huh!! Physics??" when she heard this.
So I swung my sword as hard as I could over my right shoulder then swung it back to collide with him and I cut off his tail in one blow. Then I cut off his head with the sword.
I, the one having the vision, sat in awe looking at myself, wondering if I watched too many cartoons as a child. I already knew that I was brave, but this was something else.
Then I fell asleep and woke up again, for real this time. This is why I believe that there was a fourth, the real me who was asleep all the time. But that third me and her environment were so real that there is nothing that I could have done to determine what was reality.
Fearless Me #1 Practical Me #2
Me #3 having a vision about #1 and #2
Me #4 possibly dreaming about #3
Who was the real me? #3 or #4?
I was confused as to why I was waking up again, because the last thing that I remembered was trying to guess why these visions seemed to be mixed with bursts of reality. This had never happened before. Another theory that I came up with is that there was not a fourth me, but that is what it feels like coming out of a trance. I have no clue. What is so, so, so amazing is how real everything is. My only clues that this is not normal is the out of place events and if my behavior is different. So pinching myself is now officially not a test of reality. In fact, an out of proportion sensory system is a clue. While I was having the vision or the dream I pinched myself, looked around the room and at the television to see if everything was normal and it was.

Interpretation
We must not be afraid to confront evil. If we do not, then it will take over completely until everyone is afraid to go out in the open. Between the previous dream about the buffalos and this one the evil animal had grown into a dragon who moved over the surface of the earth as if he ruled it.
When I had the dream this week with the stampeding herd I was helpless up in the tree as the creature tried to attack me. I was just wearing a white robe and I stood there helpless wishing that I had something to fight back. But all I could do was run to safety. This time I fought back. In fact, I was the aggressor. I defeated the dragon with courage and the word of God. I was actually using the scriptures to remind me of the power that I had and what to do next. The fearless me did not have a shield, I assumed that the me on the sidelines had the shield of faith because the word of God came from her to me.
Our battle is not with flesh and blood. To fight Satan and his horde of humans it is a struggle of truth about God. I think I have been fighting this battle alone. And I think that I will win because I have the testimony and the promises of God as my sword. In my eyes the thing that seems to set me apart from my peers, seems to be that I continue to believe God no matter how much he disappoints or confirms me. And I never stray from the path that seems to be His will no matter how difficult the path seems. I do not use disappointment and hardship as clues from God to take another path. I use His original stated will. That is the determination of the warrior that I saw in the armor.

Discussion
At first I would have accepted this as a series of regular day dream visions in which I had no control over some parts and I could control the parts between the visions. Except that at the end I "fell asleep" and "woke up" again.
This appears to be a continuation of the promise in 1 Peter 5: 10. God is showing me how He is strengthening me. I cannot become one with my armor without His help. But I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.
As a computer programmer and team player I was looking at the work of God as a team effort. I remembered a text that says, "and when you are converted, strengthen your brethren". So I was really looking at this as a community effort because that is how it is in John 17. I still look forward to that day, but first we must each win our battles with the Lord and be fitted with the armor of God before we can slay dragons. As for the Chinese woman, the symbol of China is a dragon. Maybe I will slay the Chinese dragon.

What am I destined to do? Have I done it already? I do not know. Three weeks ago, I made the decision not to be afraid anymore and to cut off anything that hindered me and to continue waiting for God alone because my friends were not helping to strengthen me. After five years not a single person will fast and pray with me for the latter rain. Do they really want Jesus to come?
The next step is for God to establish me. How will that occur? It will be Pentecost on Sunday June 4. That is the 50th day since the Sabbath after passover. It will also be the beginning of the 50th month since I stopped working to do this website. It is also the scheduled day for my fasting and praying on the first Sunday of every month. Will He establish me then? For the previous two Pentecosts I have been waiting. Will this year be different?

Science. I seem to have also armed myself with science. On the previous dream I went up a tree because "animals with hooves cannot climb trees". But in this vision I seem to rely on a whole lot of science. What is all that about? I will not dismiss it as irrelevant because in at least two lessons God had revealed how He uses scientific laws in the Plan of Salvation. But as I quoted the law about two opposing forces in collision, I began to wonder if I was awake or asleep or what because my mind had clearly been building a story without me.

Peter. In late August 2006 I was reminded of the experience of Peter. When the angel freed Peter from prison and he walked to the home of some of the brethren he was not sure if he was awake or having a vision.
I also read in Daniel that he had "visions in his head". I call mine "internal visions" versus the external visions.

Disemboweled and Decapitated (Update: January 10, 2008). Because of what I was taught about the 12 tribes, I learned the importance of these symbols of being beheaded and disemboweled and having the tail cut off. I shudder to think what sort of responsibility God will give me, but I appear to be destined to to spill the guts of Satan instead of eating his forbidden fruit. The last daughters of Eve must succeed where she had failed.

The Missing Shield (Update: July 9, 2008). I came across several bible verses that indicate that God is our shield. So He was protecting me.

Internal Vision: White Horse (June 23, 2006. 9:00 AM)
After the last dream I assumed that the animal dreams were over because the dragon is the ultimate representation of Satan. So I could not think of another logical continuation of this sequence. I did not have a dream but I had a short internal vision. It began when my mind started singing a song on its own. I listened to a few notes so that I could recognize the song. When I realized that it was a religious song I was actually pleased with my subconscious that it was praising God all on its own. Once again, I was forced to think that I was filled with or possesed with the Holy Spirit who had a mind of His own and was rebuilding me from the inside out. Maybe He can do something about my hair when He reaches the outside.
Vision
I saw a beautiful white horse facing towards my right (east). Behind it was a brilliant white light illuminating the horse. It did not have a rider or any equipment. As I looked closer at the horse, my mind looked at it in pieces. First I looked at the feet and then the tail and back end. It looked like a horse with a beautiful bushy tail. Then my mind looked at his front and it seemed to be extra lumpy at first. When I looked closer I could tell that it had massive muscles in that section of his body. Looking at that part of the body I realiz
