My husband and
I have been Watchers since the Lord woke us up in 1974. We've been
reading 5 Doves for about a year and a half now, but have only posted a
couple of times. It's such exciting times we are living in now! I
just can't see how the Lord can tarry much longer! The storms that are
brewing all over the world are much deeper than weather-related, as we
all know. However, it does seem that the bad weather is getting worse
and worse. The birth pangs are well underway!
I had a very
vivid Rapture Dream in the summer of 1978. I don't remember the exact
date, but it was probably in late August or early September. I know,
because my newborn daughter was still sleeping in our bedroom in her
bassinette and she was about 6 weeks old when we put her in her own
room. That evening there had been a BIG THUNDERSTORM with lots of lightening. It was still stormy when we went to bed. My Dream:
The lightening
and thunder woke me up and I walked into the den and stood by the back
door, watching out the window. After a bit, I went back to the
bedroom, but stood by the window for a few minutes. Suddenly, a bright
Light appeared over the tree-tops in the back yard, and I saw Jesus in
the clouds with His arms outstreatched. Immediately I felt my self
starting to float up. My husband was with me, as was our daughter -
all of us floating up, out through the bedroom window. I knew it was
the Rapture! My next thought was about my almost-two-year-old son, who
was sleeping in the next room. I didn't sense his presence, but I
instinctively knew that it was just because he wasn't beside me, but
was in the other room. I knew that he was "safe" - going into the arms
of Jesus - and that we would see him as soon as we arrived at our
destination in Heaven. Then I woke up!
I think it's
interesting that it was very stormy that night - and in my dream.
Perhaps the electricity in the air will have some bearing on our
Rapture! Of course, it can't be stormy over all the earth at the same
time.
I've thought
about my dream a lot through the years. My daughter will be 33 in
July, and my son will be 35. (We also have another son who is 30 and a
daughter 28.) She has 5 year-old and 8 month-old sons, and (after a
number of years of not walking with the Lord) is attending church
regularly and eagerly watching for the Lord's return. I've often
thought about the parallels between my dream and my daughter's current
status. Interestingly, she lives in North Carolina and the recent
tornado that hit Raleigh went right down her street. Her house had
miminal damage, but houses across the street and next door had severe
damage. I told her she had a big angel sitting on top of their roof!
Neither of my
two sons will attend church. Even though they both made professions of
faith when they were young, neigher of them are currently walking with
the Lord. My oldest son got into a lot of "gnostic" idealologies and
I'm not sure he truly believes anymore. I feel like he will
probably be one of those "left behind" after the Rapture. But, as in
my dream, I still feel that he is "safe". I think when my boys see
that the Rapture has truly taken place, they both will be on fire for
the Lord and will be powerful Tribulation Saints! My youngest daughter
attends church, but doesn't live a spirit-filled life.
Please pray for my kids - that the Lord will grab hold of them in a powerful way - BEFORE it's too late!
