[Dr. Eckleburg]

I had a dream last night.

I dreamed that all whom God calls will come to Him.

I dreamed the saints on earth built a nation of grateful, prosperous and righteous citizens who were aware of their many blessings, and who worked always to protect them.

I dreamed the bounty that God gave America grew from towns to cities to states and then across borders into all the countries of the world.

I dreamed Africa was cleansed of its terrible afflictions and all its children grew up strong and happy into old age.

I dreamed the Jews were safe in Jerusalem, and the sound of bombs and broken glass was forever silenced.

I dreamed the Giant Bear of Russia grew into a Free Republic of liberty-loving peoples whose children also were permitted to grow up without bombs exploding in basketball hoops above their heads.

I dreamed that men and women the world over fell to their knees in worship of Jesus Christ.

I dreamed Scripture told us that the Holy Spirit will guide us to seek out the righteous things in this world and pass them on to others in order that we may increase the goodness of the Earth as a reflection of His glory.

Then I woke up and read Scripture and was blessed by the realization that it wasn't a dream after all; that life is unfolding exactly as He ordained from before the foundation of the world. All things for His glory. All saints under the shadows of His wings.

~~~"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." -- John 16:33.~~~

Scripture is pretty clear that God's people are to not give much weight to dreams, except maybe like in Joseph and Daniel's cases, where the Lord interpreted dreams through his prophets.

Scripture also shows that true prophets of the Lord have visions, not dreams, but these visions are given in order to edify the church, not scare the masses silly. We don't need no stinking visions of the end of the world. The world was overcome when Jesus was resurrected. We need to just keep our shoulder to the plow, do our work and carry on, even as it happens. There is one Ark, and we should spent our last days and last breath, telling the cattle to get in.

Prophetic vision!
