A strange dream to be sure, but that is not important.
The Dream:
A man, standing about six feet in height. Maybe, 190 pounds when he gets out of the shower. Seeming to be no more that average in looks. He is the one behind all of the trouble in the dream. Always the one at the back of the crowd, but the influencer that pushed others forward in anger and rage.
I was looking in the direction the crowd was going. As the throng of human lives pushed past me, for I was not with them. I had the impulse to reach back with my left hand, at shoulder height, finger out stretched and poke this person in the chest just below the throat and above the body armor under his clothes.
I turned and looked straight into his eyes. “You!, You are behind this”, I said just loud enough for him to hear me, getting his attention. At that moment I knew that he really had no “understanding”. As a child that only thinks of itself and what it wants; because it is hungry or tired or in need of a diaper change, this was his view of the world. That he was not going to listen(HEAR) what he needed to HEAR in known.
What happened next, I cannot explain the how of it. Only that I did it. Grabbing him with my right hand, I twisted him, so that I was holding him pinned backwards, against a low wall with my knee holding his head there, his right shoulder being held by my calf and thigh. Trembling with fear in his eyes as he now stared directly at me. As though, nothing else existed in his world, as he was suspended in this manner between my knee and the wall.
Again I cannot explain how any of this is possible. Even in my own mind, as I considered what was happening, so that I may tell you.
“You”, I said to him, calmly and just for him to hear. You, need to understand this now! Suddenly we were outside, at night, looking up at the heavens. Stars, galaxies, planets, noble gases, . . . All of those things of which each of us are a part in a way. It is massive, too massive to grasp the size of it or personal relationship to it, us being so small. Lowering the vision toward the horizon, then continuing to lower until we see that, we are on the edge of the Grand Canyon. Seeing the ground fall away below our feet. This too is to large to grasp how small we are, until a bush comes into view, to the left. The bush is five or five and a half feet high, and maybe 100 yards away. Seeing the bush against the view of the canyon. Now, seeing how small the bush is compared to the drop to the bottom of the canyon wall, down to the glistening ribbon of the Colorado River, far below, about a mile straight down.
This view gives us an idea of his size compared to the bush, the drop and the canyon. We proceed to raise our vision toward the Heavens again. Personal size and importance is needed for perspective. I explain that, “in relation to any of this, You and I are nothing. Absolutely without any importance at all, in this view! Except! . . . . You have a soul, a tiny spark, compared to your body and your place in this Universe. You are here because the ONE Who created the HEAVENS and the EARTH, values that spark, which is a part of HIS SPIRIT. We call it, your Soul. Something you have spent almost no thought about. It is time to think and consider all of this.
The point is: The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth; Father of Your Soul; The GOD of Abraham, GOD of Isaac, GOD of Jacob, has given you the opportunity to choose HIM or not. This choice and the consequences are only between you and HIM. Nothing and no one can stand between you and YOUR FATHER. It is your choice, Your glory, or your shame. Either you do what HE said to do or not. Not only has the CREATOR, given us in writing (TORAH) what HE expects of us, but want happens when we reject HIM.
Think about it. Choose wisely, for everything that is YOU, depends on it.
Is anyone listening? You still have breath and life, you can return and repair your deeds. You just need to Do It while you have time.
I can not save you, no one can., you must Return and do that which is Right.
I can show you the way, if you want to know.
IT is to our benefit to HEARKEN until the LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL/ISRAEL, and to our pain and shame to do otherwise.
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
