God gives us dreams for many purposes. Some are to minister to our hearts, and
others are to minister to His people. Dreams can have messages which are physical and take place in the secular life, and can have spiritual meanings that take place in the unseen. On
July 27th of 2013 I had a dream wherein the
symbolism set the time we live in as having events from the book of Revelation. It spoke to both the physical and spiritual time we live in.
In this dream I walked up to a home with a fresco on its
front wall, and a pillar on either side. I placed my hand on the fresco, which
was painted. It illustrated a running
horse, which was sienna colored. The
rider had a light blue robe on. The pillars were the same color as the
horse. There was a large sword in the
fresco also.
Interpretation – Pillars represent something permanent,
whose purpose is to hold up, or “uphold.” In Revelation 3:11 Jesus speaks to
the Christians to “Hold on to what you have so that no one will take your
crown. Him who overcomes, I will make a
pillar in the temple of my God.” When we have this uncompromising nature in us of not letting others take away what God has given us,
He is able to insert us into the work He does, just as a pillar is inserted
between the floor and roof of a building.
Our steadfastness is a virtue that God builds upon.
The fresco itself is an illustration from the opening of the
second seal, in Revelation 6:3-4. The fiery red horse carries a rider with a large
sword, who takes peace from the earth, “and to make men slay each other.” This
is the time we live in now.
The fresco, being carved in stone, symbolizes
permanence. We know God’s Word is true
and that whatever He speaks, He will bring to pass. Though the revelations were given to John the
apostle around two thousand years ago, it is during our time that peace is
being taken from the earth. God has had uncompromising, steadfast men and women
who have upheld the truth of His words for a long time. We can only be part of what God is
doing in this time if we are also steadfast and uncompromising with the Truth held in His Word.
Why are the symbols of the pillars in the same dream with
the red horse and sword? Because the test of the believers at this time is compromising His Word. And the seal that is being
opened at this time is one of men slaying men.
One represents an inner virtue, which is invisible. The other is an outward set of events, evident in our world. Both are significant, set
into the same space of time. Though peace is physically taken away from the earth, there is also a spiritual peace that is being taken away in God's churches. The two cannot be separated from each other.
Thank you for letting me share my dream with you, and may
God cause us to grow in His steadfast and uncompromising nature as the world
around us experiences the chaos of war. Amen.
