My Event in Time

My event happened when I was around 8 years old.
At that time, I shared the bedroom with my sister and brother. I am the oldest of the three of us. The room consisted of a set of bunk beds and a trundle type bed. We went regularly to church at least three times weekly. I was very shy and withdrawn, didn't catch much that was going on, didn't pay attention much was usually in children's type church settings. Most of what I knew of from Sunday school was Noah's Ark, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, baby Jesus, Joseph's coat of many colors, etc. I was a child. I recall one night I was sleeping on the top bunk which; "I considered my room". I was awakened by a vivid dream. What I remember of the dream is that Jesus was wearing shiny white, not a gown, but not a suit either. I could see his whole face, nothing covering it in any way. His face was stern, and triumphant. It was as though He radiated total acceptance of all those around Him. His face was not wrinkled, nor did it show age. His hair was short and almost transparent, yet it seemed to have color in it. His skin was a tanned color, with no marks or freckles. He was wonderful to look upon. He was strong and well built. It was obvious He had a plan, and would complete it! He sat on a really huge white horse with a lot of extra long white shimmering hair on its tail, main and legs. There were leather-looking reigns from the horse's mouth to Jesus' left hand. The reigns had fringe hanging about an inch long all over. The white horse was beautiful and looked as if there was fire under it's feet, with each step; and it's front feet were prancing and kicking and moving around, while his back feet were stationary. The horse was obviously excited and ready for action. This setting was up in thick white and gray clouds and the sun was shining or it was very bright in the clouds. There were people standing on the sides and the front of Jesus' horse. They were wearing regular street clothes and were very happy. They were applauding with their hands and shouting praises and love at Jesus constantly, not stopping for a quite a while. Smiling and shouting praises to Him. It even looked like confetti was in the air in celebration. They were all standing around Him, except behind Him, kind of like a three quarter circle. No one was behind Him. Then they all turned toward the earth, and Jesus began to lead them toward the earth. In His right hand was a big sword lifted high in the air at this point. Jesus now began to cause the horse to start toward the earth and all those with Him, many people, all with swords now and more shouting in support of the quest. Following His lead they began to move. There were many people all different looks and personalities, all adults! I saw no children. It was the second coming of the Lord. I awakened and could still see it in my minds eye. Lying there on the top bunk bed, the back door wide open. I had no clue about anything like that, not the rapture of the church nor the second coming. I looked out my window in the dark clear sky; at the stars shining, and was expecting to see them coming any second. I remember being quickened and shuddering, expecting and yet a little fearful. I knew I was not prepared for such an event even at that young age, and had no real idea what it was in the first place. I was frightened that I wasn't knowledgeable about it or prepared in whatever way I could be. The back door was wide open for the cool fresh air and I was lying there waiting for this event to take place, immediately! I didn't sleep anymore that night and the dream plagued me for days; and has been there as a reminder for years. Since then I realized that I was born in the time when events were to happen according to the Word, and because of that dream, I know the Lord will return in my lifetime. That means the gathering away of those ready at that point will happen first. That is not the second coming of the Lord. I can still see the dream in my minds eye in vivid detail. This dream has helped to shape my life I am sure, and many of the decisions I have made to this point. I hope only to give Jesus glory with all I have told from this event in my life. 1 Thessalonians 1:7... And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (continuing to read into v. 11.) Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power (and continue to read chapter 2) Revelation 19:11. And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and true, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. There are so many other scriptures describing the second coming of the Lord. I wish to add: I didn't tell my family about this dream until now and when my adult children read it, they were surprised and glad I shared it with them. It caused us to discuss other things that have taken place in our lives concerning Jesus that were somewhat out of the ordinary. Thank you. copyright © February 25 2004 Charlene |
