Many years ago I had a dream about the end times. It's the only end times dream I've had. I won't get into the details of that dream. That's not the compelling part. But what is interesting is that in the dream I was told that when I see a certain image, it signifies that the end of the world is about to happen. That was 20+ years ago. And just the other day, for the very first time, I saw the image. I SAW THE IMAGE!!!

Now granted, I thought the image was going to be real, and not just a graphic animation of it. And in my dream, the end of the world started seconds after I saw this image. But still, I got so excited to finally see the image God gave me as a sign of the nearness of the end. 20+ years, my friends! That's a long time to wait for a dream to be fulfilled.

It hasn't been fully fulfilled... yet, but still, that's gotta mean something, right?

The Length of a Generation in the Bible:

Psalm 90:10

New International Version
Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

My question could the fly away part, also mean the Rapture, not just death only?

Perhaps this Psalm, holds the key that before the 70 year passes for Israel, we'll be the generation that is Raptured? I like this thought, something to ponder on.

Maranatha.

Valerie,

Ready to get chills? The image I saw in my dream was 7 candles spontaneously lighting by themselves! And I was told when I see this, know that the end is near.

7!!!! There's that number again! You just got chills, right? I did, when I read your response. I mean, "the image" I so vaguely referenced could have been anything. And you could have responded any number of ways... or not responded at all. But you did! And you felt led to mention the significance of, all things, the number 7! Freaky!

I know the biblical significance of the number 7, but 7 candles lighting by themselves? That's a pretty bazaar yet specific and unusual image. I've never seen candles light themselves... at least, not since my dream 20+ years ago. And then just the other day I saw a video that started with the image of, not 1, not 9, not 6, but 7 candles igniting all by themselves. And it wasn't a menorah, it was just 7 individual candles, just like in my dream. I just got so excited.

And yes, when I said "end of the world", I did mean that in the figurative sense.

Oh, one other thing--the very next day, after having that dream, I went looking in Revelation to see if there was anything related to my dream. I suppose it could be said that the Lord led me to Rev. 1:12 "...and having turned I saw seven lampstands." Before that day, I had never seen that verse. In fact, I never really given any thought to end times. It was that dream that made me a "watcher". And I've been watching with eagerness ever since! But it wasn't until this year, that that image reappeared before me. Folks, we are close... I mean, REAL close!
