Hmm..Fire on Mt. Carmel....................400 prophets of Baal on the mount?..................
This is horrible!!! May the Lord comfort Israel and all those hurt, and that there be no more death and suffering.
Something very strange, is that I awoke to this news after having a bizarre dream about a forest fire (it’s morning for me right now). I don’t recall ever having a dream about a fire. Until this morning, I did not know there was a fire in northern Israel.
In this dream, I (and one other person) started a fire at a desk (I don’t remember the whys or hows), and then it quickly burned in a in a narrow line moving due north (this from watching news on TV and seeing a report that showed a map of the fire). The line of the fire had already moved past where it was marked on the map. No info on where this was located, just some mountains. It was only a line many miles long, being drawn to the north.
The details of the dream were sketchy, but this other person in the dream had died and was discovered by firefighters at his desk where the fire started.
I was obviously worried that my involvement/knowledge would be discovered, but reports all indicated that the source was only this one man at his desk (speculation that he was a disgruntled employee burning some documents). Dreams are funny in that they can switch scenes to something completely unrelated. Or maybe...?
While I was worried about this fire, I was visiting a friend in town who was about to give birth. This is a woman who I know in real life, but I haven’t seen her in several months - her actual due date was in August. In the dream (and in real life) this was her fourth child. Anyway, while I was talking with her, her husband, and a couple other friends, she sensed she was going into labor and was lying on a bed. Her doctor was standing by but no rush to get things ready. Then suddenly she gave birth. Quickly, no complications, no pain. I half-jokingly told her (and everyone agreed) that for “the next one” she should be careful - she would probably give birth in her sleep and not even wake up. Furthmore, since this was so easy for her, she was obviously destined/designed to have 8 or 10 children.
Not long after this birth, maybe half an hour, she was up and walking about, obviously about to give birth to yet another child!
Yikes.
And over 80 perished in the Mt. Carmel fire outside of Waco.
Here in So Calif we get wildfires most every year.More than I remember growing up, but they are never reported as terroism. I alsways suspect them as terroist attacks.
