What Does a Black Cross Mean Spiritually
The black cross symbolizes deep faith and protection in spirituality. It stands for the challenges and suffering one can overcome with belief.
This powerful symbol also represents mystery and the hope that comes from facing life’s darkest moments.

I can’t imagine that it matters, though I suppose some person or group may have attached a meaning to one color or another. There’s a $3 word attached to things like that, but I can’t remember it.
Teutonic Knights were the ones that often had black crosses. Templars were red. Hospitallers were white.
There were a bunch of others but I think those were the bigh 3 and tended to have the simpler cross designs...been a bit.
Thanks to all posters. Informative comments.
JESUS IS LORD
That's why I looked up black Cross online, sorry to mention it on FR. first. I know I should have gone seen a Priest
It’s best to get all your teaching from the Bible.
God spoke to us, and what He spoke was written down by the prophets and apostles. (Matthew 22:31)

As well, Jesus Himself is the Word of God.

I know, it sounds crazy, but the dream was so vivid, and gave me solace while going through my recent difficulties, and then I thought, a black Cross, must be satanic.

Just a cross that is upside down is satanic. There is the ankh, a cross with a hole in the top part, a symbol of life in ancient Egyptian mysticism.
There’s Amun-Ra (Hidden One or Black Sun), the god of the Egyptians. In 1446 b.c., Thutmoses III refused to let the Hebrews go when confronted by Moses. Thutmoses believed that Amun-Ra was stronger than the God of Moses.

I thought your dream was insightful. The black cross and gold key seem prophetic, a time of tribulation followed by restoration. I believe we will see the return of Jesus Christ within 15 years with the Great Tribulation beginning ~2033. After much study and prayer, I believe that the Rapture will occur at the sound of the Seventh Trumpet (see Rev. 11:15).
Christians will not have to suffer the seven bowls of wrath, only those who have accepted the Mark of the Beast. The Dragon, Antichrist and False Prophet will be defeated in an instant. Then the end will come with a new beginning. The Earth will be restored to a pristine state and Christ will reign as King on Earth for 1,000 years.
To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Rev. 2:17
Wouldn’t make too much of it. Dreams are dreams. I dream all sorts of crazy stuff, just ask the wife!
Now, if a dream reoccurs many times, you’ve got some digging to do.
(1) The dream was your dream, and yours alone. It is a sleeping vision based on experiences that come only from the world youhave known, so only you can interpret it, your spiritpossibly guided by the Spirit of God. No other "spirit guide" is acceptable, such as the ones(s) whom you have chosen to give you an interpretation. as Gman and ealgeone have hinted. (2) Before going further, I beg you to read through and digest a Bible passage, Job 33:13-33 (c;ick here), paying special attention to verses 15-17 and 33-33, using the Crown-Authorized KJV or the Douay Rheims 1899 versions.And it may well have been, showing you the path to full confidence in the Jesus of the Bible, which confidence only comes from His preached word that acts to give you that birth experience as a new everlasting spiritual entity that Jesus sees as His possession. You can have that experience if you put i practice what Jesus promised to the member of the Sanhedrin, Nicodemus, and later to the men who were determined to kill Him:15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;(3) With this in mind, it is Jeff Chandler who seems to come close to giving yo some sensible direction, but neither he nor I can tell you what the "black cross" means in the vision you experienced and kept in memory. Only God's Spirit can do that, and He has means to accomplish it.
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.32If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.(4) But if your trust is in the doctrines of the Roman Catholicism, that does not guarantee that your eternal security is assured by your beliefs, then you cannot have experienced being born as a new everlasting entity in the spiritual realm possessing citizenship in Heaven, and therefore do not have the Holy Spirit permanently dwelling with and guiding your spirit daily, do you? So when it is so important for Him to help you interpret your dream, you need to know if it was Him giving you that vision, eh?
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.You have heard what the cross is about, and death is often equated with physical death. But this above is a part of the Golden Key that opens a door, the quality of gold intimating something precious, eh?
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (Jphn 3:3-7,16-17 AV)""Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life" (John 5:24 AV)
It seems to me that you sought out the wrong advisors who are not authorized give you the right information. But the Spirit speaking to you in the Bible is, and it is to Him you ought to go for an interpretation of your vision, I would say.
Joseph interprets dreams of the Cupbearer and the Baker. Genesis 40
Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dreams. Genesis 41
A soldier interprets the dream of another soldier (Gideon would defeat the Midianites). Judges 7
Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (five kingdoms). Daniel 2
Jesus Christ interprets Daniel’s dream about the four beasts. Daniel 7
Thank you for your reply. I take it with much respect. In all my years I never had a dream so vivid or memorable.
One’s mind can do some pretty interesting things, especially when it is not under one’s own conscious control.
