I think that perhaps it could conceivably also be something about
too many members of the family of God in the Church being unprepared and complacent about the storm of evil being loosed upon the world in the end times.
I don't even pretend to understand what the dream was about.
But it was, I'm not even sure this would be th ecorrect term, 'eery' in that the tornado had that spiral split in it, and everyone seemed truly oblivious to the thing's presence.
As if one could miss the presence of a tornado that big.
The more I think back on it, the more it seems that I'm not supposed to be the one to understand it.
From my point of view it could mean absolutely anything 'based' of recent experiences and/or what I know.
So it's entirely possible I'm just supposed to relate it and perhaps someone else will be told what it meant?
(Like the meaning of Pharoah's dream being given to Joseph, and Nebuchadnezzar's dream being revealed to Daniel? [Difference being that I'm no-one of any great importance.])
"Recently, (over the last year) she's had on and off dreams about us having to go
underground - into hiding."
I've had a dream about this too...traveling at night to get somewhere in the mountains.
Yes, and the other thing in my dream, that's right, were some tornados I saw in the horizon and now I remember better trying to drive away from them. And of about 3 or 4 that hovered in the distance, one was worst than the others.
(Just to refresh what I said earlier, I had a dream, some red flashes in the sky like flares, but more pronounced, maybe explosive like, but very bright.)
Others dreaming of tornadoes.
Well, if I didn't have goosebumps before..
*chuckle*
It is DEFINITELY NOT AN ISSUE OF BEING SOMEONE IMPORTANT.
It's an issue of whatever Holy Spirit is doing with the individual.
Mary was a person of no consequence until Holy Spirit touched her life.
AS was Peter and a lot of the rest!
Children will be doing great exploits for God in these end times.
Have had ponderings and maybe some dreams of such for 30 years.
"the tornado had that spiral split in it"
When I first read of your dream and the spiral split the lyrics came to mind..."and she 's buying a stairway to heaven"
Maybe it's all about recognizing the threat of materialism and greed?
I'm still just as mystified by it as I was when I woke up after initially having the dream and saying, "Oh, that was odd."
I can make some guesses, but they will still be just that -my guesses.
And my guesses probably won't be close.
*chuckle*
Hebrews Chapter 1
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God [is] quick, (ie living) and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
At night time and also, as someone said about "going into hiding in the mountains" well, I don't have that, but it being New Mexico, where I am from, let it suffice, I had the feeling of me being in the "boonies" and prairie desert type at that, Roswell to Vaughn.
Then, dreams have your own hangups as well, and some oddity was in there too, a flood but this is not real clear and I once was caught in flood like conditions once. Anyway, this dream was this morning and usually, we forget dreams right off; that's why, it rang a bell when it was mentioned about Tornados.
I woke up and remembered the red flashes right off and thought, that's definitely different than the usual kind of stuff I might dream if I remember in the first place. They were not alarming like explosions per se, but super bright lights in the sky, star like, roman candle like or flare like but bigger than flares.
You know, I am going to pray, because I've had my spiritual life even derailed by seemingly trivial, earthly matters when I have gotten into prayer.
No visions, but in the past, when I have felt sort of forboden might be the word, I'd pray and it is like something came into my life and comforted me some. Of course, I chalk it up to the spiritual.
I'll definitely, contemplate and such tonight.
Understood.
I believe you are referring to me here, am I right? As I recall, you asked me what I thought about some other prophecy and before I could give you an answer, I said I would pray for wisdom about it. (Pardon me) Even though I knew what to say to you, not knowing you and not wanting to answer lightly, I prayed and searched the Scriptures to see if the thing were true. The answer to your question is found in the prophetic books that I referenced, I think Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Zephaniah were the ones, that you think "I just picked out of the air." Had you spiritual discernment, or gone to the Lord asking for wisdom you could have read those prophecies and gotten your answer.
PRAYING ALWAYS
Is more than an order, an exhortation, a command,
IT'S SURVIVAL!
2 Peter 2:12
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2:13
And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2:14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
2:15
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2:16
But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2:17
These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
2:18
For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
James 3:13
Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jam 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jam 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jam 3:16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
Jam 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Jam 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Great Scriptures.
Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

“WORSHIP IS A MYSTERY”
Every other Friday evening I meet with a group of women at a local church. We spend the evening in joyous worship. We began the evening by praying for Israel and the peace of Jerusalem. As we were praying the vision began. It wove in and out of the worship all evening.
I saw a beautiful deep blue Star of David. It floated into my field of vision. As we prayed, it became encircled with a sparkling gold, braided hoop. The hoop sparkled and flashed in the light. Then the Star of David began to spin clockwise within the glistening gold hoop.
Then I saw multicolored worship hoops moving through the air by some unseen hands. They were red and green, purple and gold, blue and silver, and many other colors. The hoops were dancing through the air, reflecting light. What a wonderful site to see!
As the hoops disappeared, I saw two swords fencing with each other. They were silver and sharp—thrusting and defending, thrusting and defending. Soon I saw the hands that were holding the handles of the swords. Both were gloved. They were sparing. The fencing appeared competitive and vigorous. I watched the swords sparring for a couple of minutes.
Then the picture became larger and I saw that one fencer was dressed in white, the other in black. Both fencers wore face guards so that I was unable to see their faces or tell their sex. The black fencer began to thrust and spar in earnest and it was no longer a fun game, but a deadly one. The black fencer began to jab and thrust viciously. The white fencer just laughed, like the old TV programs of Zorro. Zorro usually laughed in joy as he fought off his opponents. The white dressed fencer did the same.
Then I saw more and more black dressed fighters sneak in from other rooms and join in the attack of the white fencer. He continued to laugh with derision at his opponents.
Then I saw worshipers with flags and hoops, dancing as the two sides fought. Their dance was unconstrained and abandoned. (The verses from II Samuel concerning David’s undignified worship before YAHWEH came to my mind as I watched the worshipers.)
The fencers dressed in black kept trying to get around behind the single fencer dressed in white but were prevented by some unseen force from doing so.
Then I saw why they were unable to make any headway. Heavenly hosts were lined up behind the fencer, protecting his rear from attack. He/she was having so much fun sparring with the enemy! The black dressed fencer became frantic, calling in more and more fencers to join him.
Then I saw the Lion. He was watching the fencers, then watching the dancers. His head was turning back and forth, back and forth, watching one then the other.
As I looked carefully, I realized I was one of the dancers, with a green and gold hoop in one hand. The Lion approached me and I playfully placed the hoop with the green and gold streamers on his head. He chuckled, and I was relieved, as I suddenly felt very foolish
The room I was in became very still, as the presence of YAHWEH was so strong.
Then I saw dancers again, worshiping with all their hearts, dancing and twirling with hoops and flags and tambourines. We were dancing for joy in the spirit! It felt so good to worship in this way!
Then I saw a brand new, blue metallic mountain bike pulling a small, three wheeled, yellow trailer. The rider’s back was to me, so I was unable to see his/ her face. (The trailer it was pulling is similar to the trailers that many parents use to pull their small children when they are out bicycling.)
This trailer was not filled with children, but with worship hoops, flags, tambourines, etc. I only saw the back of the rider as she peddled with all her might swiftly up a mountain path. The rider was wearing a helmet, so I really could not see any recognizable features. The flags were whipping in the wind, the hoop tassels were flying, the tambourines were jingling. It was a very colorful site! The rider was peddling very fast, and was in excellent physical condition. The trail was steep and rocky, and I was exhausted just looking at the steepness of the terrain the bicyclist was effortlessly climbing.
The bike was followed by worshipers, dancing and twirling, leaping for joy as they, too, climbed the rocky mountain path.
Then the Lion followed the worshipers with me on his back.
As we neared the top of the path, I saw a dazzling golden light. I dismounted, and the Lion bowed before the light. I, too, fell on my face. I had a gold and red hoop in each hand. The gold streamers on the worship hoop fell foreword towards the light, as if an unseen power gently pulled them forward, away from me. As I prostrated before the golden light, I was covered gently with a white Israeli prayer shawl.
Then I saw the worshipers dancing before the light, and these words thundered:
IT IS A MYSTERY.
WORSHIP IS A MYSTERY.
WORSHIP IS A KEY THAT UNLOCKS MYSTERIES.
IT UNLOCKS DOORS INTO MY PRESENCE.
IT UNLEASHES ANGELIC HOSTS.
IT IS A MYSTERY.
And I saw an old, hammered iron cross slowly become an old-fashioned iron key. The ancient key began to turn clockwise, and I saw dazzling, golden light too bright to look into.
