Heard today in Bible class that a missionary we support is saying that many muslims are having dreams of Jesus and in the dreams are being told to seek out a preacher to tell them about Jesus. Anyone else having missionaries telling them this?

Very interesting since the Bible clearly teaches that all truth is now in the Word of God, so no more miraculous dreams like Nebuchadnezzar or others had. I am concerned that imams are telling followers to claim they had such dreams in order to facilitate infiltration of Bible-based groups to learn membership for later persecution/death.

Acts 2:17, New American Standard Bible

'AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

I'm not saying these Muslim dreams are in fulfillment of this, but I find it unwise to discount anything in Scripture that says, in the last days, might not mean the days we're in.

You may be missing the point of Pentecost and why Jesus as He was going to the Father after walking around for forty days after the Resurrection, told His mother and the disciples to wait until the Holy Spirit comes to “teach you all things” ...

... and Mary waited with the Disciples in the upper room, prob the same room where Jesus had the Last Supper/or Passover Meal the night before He was crucified.

Then the Holy Spirit fell... and later Peter stood up to say that ‘this is that’ of which the Prophet Joel spoke: I shall pour out My Spirit on all flesh... etc.

Joel 2:28

King James Bible

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Christian Standard Bible

After this I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.

Acts 2:17

King James Bible

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Christian Standard Bible

And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all people; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Contemporary English Version

“When the last days come, I will give my Spirit to everyone. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

Good News Translation

‘This is what I will do in the last days, God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams.

Holman Christian Standard Bible

And it will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

The "word of God" is not just a book or collection of books. The Word of God is Jesus Christ Our Lord.

He still has the power to communicate with people via dreams and visions: not often, perhaps, but it still happens. This power has never at any time ceased. After His resurrection He said "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to Me" --

And His power is not constrained.

Amen! Just as an aside, I was shocked this weekend, to learn that Charles Stanley was raised in the Pentecostal Holiness denomination. To switch from that to Southern Baptist, many of whom believe an end was made to prophecies, miracles, and tongues, when the first century apostles went home to be with the Lord, is surprising. I know for a fact, though, that many Southern Baptists all over, have embraced pentacostalism into their spiritual lives, including the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, etc. I am NOT against Southern Baptists, or any other denomination that preaches Jesus Christ and Him crucified, as the way to the Father, and the Diety of Christ.

Let’s just hope they don’t ask Joel Osteen, he will be telling them about the good life that is now!

We’ve been in the Last Days, ever since Jesus ascended unto the Father, and sent the Holy Spirit to the church. There is no other re-division of time, other than the last 7 years told of in the Book of Revelation.

Amen! There are people on this earth, who have never seen or heard Scripture, and aren’t likely to do so, such as muslims, and others, who are kept from it purposefully, by their parents and community, etc., and truly have no opportunity to do so. And there are those, among them, who truly are searching for God. God’s Word tells us, “if you seek Me, you will find Me”. As long as the dream of vision lines up with the Word of God, it cannot be discounted.

So do I. My 3rd daughter, now 19, is named Sabina after Mrs. Wurmbrand. We call her Sally.

We’ve supported VOM for at least 20 years.

The dreams and visions, according to VOM, are very highly valued in Middle Eastern culture. Their contacts have asked VOM’s readers and supporters to pray for more of these events. There have been miraculous healings and conversions reported in connection with visions of Jesus Christ.

If we don’t believe He can accomplish these things, then we don’t believe He is God.
