DR E:
I think it is the height of irresponsibility to post about the assassination of President Bush, even as a retelling of your dream.
Wellllllllll, given the Scriptures on the topic of dreams and end times . . . given the sorting through together with like minded people of similar Scriptural perspective and attitudes that this thread was set up for--in part--to evaluate and discuss such dreams as might be candidates for consideration as dreams from The Lord . . .
I consider your comment the height of cheeky arrogance.
Who on earth
ARE YOU
to say
whether the posting of such a dream will NOT trigger the very prayers to prevent such a horrid event?
WHO ARE YOU to say that such a posting of such a dream will NOT increase the needed prayers for our beloved President 100's of times over?
Obviously, you cannot remotely say such a thing with any authority above that of a gnat's fart.
There have probably been more than several hundred folks who've been given dreams, visions, impressions of such a thing along with the feeling that they are called to pray against it. Evidently God wants to communicate such a thing pretty strongly and persistently. I'm not about to tell God what HE can't do or how HE can't do it! I'm sure He's underwhelmed that you cheekily dare to.
Thankfully, God is not the least bit moved by your hostility. He will attend to our prayers regardless of your poisonous attitude and words.
DR E
You should ask the moderator to remove your post.
NOT AT ALL!
Further, I hereby ask the Moderator, if remotely workable, to instruct you to avoid posting on this thread any further.
Dr E
You stew and spin about prophetic dreams, and then you foolishly offer this.
None of us interested in the BIBLICAL TOPIC OF DREAMS IN END TIMES have been stewing and spinning. Given the Scriptures and plenty of discerning experiences, it would appear that you are the exceedingly foolish one on two counts: 1) Either ignorance of or denial/disbelief of a long list of Scriptures (see below) sets you up to pontificate from glaring ignorance. 2) You clearly have no viable, kosher, Biblical experiences in the topic area yet you insist on pontificating as though you were wiser, more knowledgeable; smarter and more Christian than all the rest of us.
I assure you, Sir, Father God is not impressed and neither are we. You will have some limited months to years to adjust your understanding of God's priorities and ways of doing things in the realm of such matters. At some point, God will likely take you home; mostly ignore you by the wayside as those who listen to His Voice and attend to the varieties of ways HE CHOOSES to communicate in our era leave the likes of you in the dust busily doing THE MASTER'S business in the crunch, rush and devastations of the end times; or another possibility or two which I choose to avoid getting into.
Below are a list of Scriptures about dreams. I feel that I Cor 14:29 is applicable to dreams as well. However, it's also wise to have someone particularly gifted of The Lord in discerning such matters to offer input.
I do know that Jesus was fiercely annoyed with religious leaders and any others who presume to limit God's doing things His way according to His priorities by His Spirit. God is STILL fiercely hostile to such presumptive actions and teachings.
He is getting ready to shake all that can be shaken and He will start with The Church and, many of us feel, has already started.
Those not on HIS WAVELENGTH will likely AT BEST be left by the wayside struggling to have a clue where God is; is going; etc. Such ignorance in the end times can easily lead to premature death and certainly to The Lord's displeasure.
DO NOT respond to this msg in this thread, DR E. I will ask the moderator to immediately remove such a reply. I will tolerate a reply in the TP THREAT POTENTIALS THREAD.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1157571/posts?q=1&&page=251 I hope the following Scriptures can prove of some educational value to you. You write as though you've never seen them.

Daniel 1:17
To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
Joel 2:28
"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
Acts 2 :: New International Version (NIV)
Acts 2
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
1When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[1] as the Spirit enabled them.
5Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11(both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs--we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" 12Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"
13Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine.[2] "
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! 16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17" 'In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
19I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.'[3]
22"Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[4] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25David said about him:
" 'I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will live in hope,
27because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.'[5]
