Zone1 A Profoundly Spiritual Experience

[TemplarKormac]

I had Jesus visit my dreams last night. I can describe him in every detail.

Long flowing dark brown hair, tanned skin with beard, brilliant white robe with a deep blue sash. He sat at a table with me, hugged me, and I back.

And not just any table. The ones they used in his day. We didn't sit in chairs, but on mats on the floor.

He didn't say anything, but did he really need to? It was incredibly real.

The room itself was lit bright. I feel like he may have called me up for a hangout. Rewarding me for all the prayer I've been doing.

I can only recall something similar happening to me 32 years ago close to my seventh birthday. But it was Satan that time. Mama and I were still living in her apartment on back then, and I had fallen asleep in the couch. In my dream I had woken up but the living room was unnaturally dark. I felt I was being chased. By monsters. Mama and the Pastor both agreed these were demons.

Satan was trying to claim me first. But I ran. I called out for her but she didn't answer. I kept running.

But then I really woke up. Terrified. The lights were off, but the moonlight was filtering through the windows and I could see. I called out for her and she answered. I ran to her room and she let me sleep with her for the rest of the night.

That shook me so badly that I told her about it. She and the Pastor knew from the onset what had happened. They thought that if I made a decision for Christ that I may never experience that again. So I did. I had to wait till I was tall enough to stand with my head above the baptismal pool, and in August of 1996, I was baptized. I never had that kind of dream again.

So to have this kind of dream but with Jesus, almost 30 years later? This is major.

I believe so. Now I have this urge to read the Bible from cover to cover.

I believe so. Now I have this urge to read the Bible from cover to cover.

I did that when I was a teenager. It was very enlightening.

I have 25 different Bibles on my Computer, & at least 6 Physical Bibles, that are heavily noted within, & highlighted.

Many, many times, I've gone back to them, & learned something new.

Not to knock what you're doing, since you sound like a the scholarly type, but I've found only one is needed to get the message across.

Don't get me wrong, I have 7 Bibles sitting around the house, but still. You only need one.

Just a friendly word of advice, be careful with what interpretations you use, though. Stick to the ones that adhere closest to original Greek/Aramaic translations, like the NIV and the NKJV.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

This is Jesus today:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters

delusions of the oppressors ... not one word in their 4th century bible is written by the hand of jesus their message being simple and spoken - to sin no more, the heavenly goal granted a&e at their request for self determination.

I understand what You are saying, & absolutely appreciate Your Advice, Templar, but,..... I've been studying "Judaism", "Catholicism", "Christianity", & "Islam", along with their Beliefs, "Canonizations", Books, Documents, History, & much more since 1984, in an ever-increasing way.

During the 80s, & 90s, ..... I Studied the "Greek", & "Latin" respectfully, Thinking that the Scholars, etc., were indeed "Spiritually Inspired", and that they All Truly sought to Serve, & Teach of "Jesus Christ", & His Gospel.

Problem is,..... I Studied Intensely, & Sincerely, and even "Prayed for Knowledge of those Scriptures".

I began to ask many, many Questions, and,..... The Vast Majority of the Scholars, Teachers, Ministers, Priests, Rabbis, would at first evasively give answers like a "Politician", or "Used Car Salesman", and they would, without directly, & specifically answering My Questions, act as if the issue was taken care of, & that I should Obediently remain a "Passive Sheeple", & not "make waves".

Trust me,..... I Prayed even more, & I Studied even more, and when I realized that My "Spiritual leaders" were purposely evading My Questions, in a "Brotherly way", I confronted them. I presented my Data, Scriptures, Historical Documents, & more, and the majority of time,.... Their "Brotherly Love" quickly faded from them.

The Catholic/"Christian" Scholars, Teachers, Ministers, & Priests, shunned, me, verbally attacked me, and a few, even did so, right in front of the "Church". In the 80s, & 90s, that "Broke my heart", and in "Grief, Shock, & Anger",.... I "Fell from The Way", & began to "run with th' world", but,.... Each time, something in My Life, &/or The World would "Grab my Spiritual Attention", and I'd give up my "Self-Centeredness, & Partying", repent, & return to Seeking The Truth.

The Truth of the matter Templar, and I apologize if this is boring you, or upsetting you, but,....... The Truth of the matter is that there is only "One Way", and it absolutely is not of Mankind's Religions of "Judaism", Catholicism, "Christianity", nor "Islam", for they all, in the majority oppose The Truth taught by the Messiah, His Prophets, & the Patriarchs.

The "Greek", I now largely reject, as well as the so called "Church Fathers", for many, many reasons, but the "Aramaic & Hebrew" translations such as the "World English Bible", "The Cepher", & more, are where I have found "Truth". But even those "Translations" that include the "Apocrypha", absolutely are not "Perfect", for they do not include "Enoch", "Yasher", & many more, and,.... They include "Works", & verses of Scripture that should not be there.

For what it's worth Templar,... I've enjoyed this conversation with You, & May the Almighty LORD GOD of Yisrael Bless You, & Your Loved Ones!

Shalom!
