Dreams and Visions: Impending Judgment and the Assurance of God's Promises

 




Dreams and Visions Examined 1.8.25

From December 22nd to 23rd, I experienced an abundance of ten dreams and visions, which I shared with others for prayer. They responded and referenced Jeremiah 23:28 to ensure these visions aligned with God's word. I am confident in the meaning of each vision and the overall warnings and messages they convey. After writing down all these scriptures, I trembled, and my heart filled with warmth, gladness, and other indescribable sensations. It feels as though my heart is too large for my chest. I am merely a vapor, a child of the living God. Nothing more.


Lord Jesus,

I pray that anyone who reads these dreams and visions is uplifted and strengthened within the body of Christ. I seek Your guidance and wisdom in understanding and interpreting them all. May they serve as a blessing to those who hear them.

Amen.

Before I shared all ten, I included a vision I had not yet disclosed from a little over a month before these.


A Vision of the Man Walking in the Country with a Cane

I recently saw a vision of an old man with a beard, wearing a long robe and carrying a large walking stick, walking purposefully through the countryside. His presence felt like it belonged to an ancient time. Suddenly, a modern truck drove by, and the young men inside mocked him. However, the man in the robe didn’t seem bothered by their comments.


The scripture I was given for this image is Ezekiel 3:23.


Ezekiel 3:23 (ESV) says:

"So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the Chebar canal, and I fell on my face."


The first vision resembled rivers of blood. Initially, I tried to convince myself it was water or mud, but I am certain it was blood. Then, it appeared as though bodies were emerging from it. 

Deuteronomy 13, Jeremiah 23, and 2 Corinthians 11. 


This first vision warns against false teachers, prophets, prophetesses, and apostles. 


The second vision was beautiful. Something white, filled with flowers, was being wrapped around a forearm. It looked like it was being connected to someone else's arm. 

2 Corinthians 11:2


The third vision showed a kingdom surrounded by beauty, with large swans coming forward from it. 

Colossians 3:2


The fourth vision depicted insects that were far more beautiful than any I had ever seen. They had vivid iridescent colors. One of them played an instrument beneath small pieces of glass, each piece producing a different tone. This fluttering insect could play the instrument by moving clockwise and counterclockwise beneath the pieces of glass. 

In 2 Kings 18-20, we see the vulnerability of King Hezekiah's reign as he faces the confrontation with the Assyrian King Sennacherib. This specifically refers to his illness as described in 2 Kings 20:8-11.


I have been studying the book of Isaiah and have now reached chapter 18. This has deepened my understanding of the fourth vision I previously shared, especially regarding the vivid insects I saw. The commentary has provided greater insight into their meaning.


"Isaiah 18:1-7 1 The word for Ethiopia here is Cush, or in our terms, the Sudan; but Isaiah includes the region beyond the rivers (i.e. presumably the Atbara and Blue Nile) which suggests the present Ethiopia. The term for whirring (rather than AV's 'shadowing') is not unlike the word 'tsetse', imitating the buzzing of insects. 2 Everything emphasizes that the envoys of this chapter are from the ends of the earth; and the exotic appeal of this fact would be enhanced by their striking appearance (tall and smooth---not AV's 'scattered and peeled'!) and formidable reputation (v. 2b)--for Cush had now gained control of Egypt. Yet this deputation, like the rest (see on 14:28ff.), is dismissed with God's Go, (AV is again misleading: its insertion of 'saying' in v. 2a changes the speaker and the sense,) 3, 4 God has no need of intrigues: He will bide His time, working as silently as the seasons (v. 4). The enemy will reach the very mountains of Judah (v. 3; cf. 14:25), 5, 6 only to be cut down on the verge of victory, like a crop destroyed on the eve of harvest. 7 The final verse seems to look beyond the immediate crisis of Assyrian aggression which had brought the envoys to Jerusalem. Isaiah now sees the travelers in a new light, as the first of many who will come to Zion one day in homage (the Heb., lacking the word from in v. 7a, suggests that they will be themselves the homage gift). It is the prospect already seen in 2:3; 11:10; it will be further developed in chs. 60-62; it is expressed exultantly in Pss. 68:31 ff.; 87:4."- - (Guthrie, Motyer, Stibbs, Wiseman, The New Bible Commentary Revised (WM. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.),601.

The passage Isaiah 18:1-7 carries rich layers of prophetic imagery and meaning. Here's a more detailed look into each verse, reflecting on the commentary you provided:

Verses 1-2:

Isaiah speaks of the land of Cush (modern-day Sudan and possibly Ethiopia). The word "whirring" or "buzzing" here evokes the image of a land teeming with life, possibly referring to the sound of insects like the tsetse fly. The envoys from this distant land are described as tall and smooth-skinned, emphasizing their striking and exotic appearance. This portrayal contrasts with the Authorized Version's (AV) translation of "scattered and peeled."

Verses 3-4:

God's message through Isaiah shows that He does not need human intrigues or schemes. The prophecy is set against the backdrop of the political and military turmoil of the time. God remains sovereign and works according to His timing and purpose, much like the silent yet inevitable progression of the seasons.

Verses 5-6:

The imagery shifts to a harvest metaphor, symbolizing the enemy's sudden downfall. The invading forces, presumably the Assyrians, will be cut down just as they are about to achieve victory, akin to a crop being destroyed on the eve of harvest.

Verse 7:

The final verse looks beyond the immediate threat of Assyrian aggression. Isaiah envisions a future where the envoys from distant lands come to Jerusalem to pay homage to the Lord. This prophetic vision aligns with other passages in Isaiah (2:3; 11:10) and Psalms (68:31; 87:4), suggesting a time when nations will acknowledge God's sovereignty and bring tribute to Zion.

Therefore, this passage addresses the geopolitical situation of Isaiah's time and offers a broader theological vision of God's ultimate plan for the nations.

In the fifth vision, I saw a man who was down on the ground. No matter how hard he tried to get up, he couldn't. His torso and head were facing toward me, though he couldn't see me, and he was surrounded by darkness. It looked like he was doing sit-ups to try to rise, but each attempt failed. He appeared very ill.


This man represents the arrogance and pride of those who refuse to call upon the name of Jesus to be saved. John 14:6, and Romans 10:13. 


In the sixth vision, I saw a woman with a terrifying, deteriorating face. She was once recognizable, but now she looked horrendous. It was so distressing that I won't go into further detail here. Matthew 16:4


In the seventh vision, I heard my name gently being called: "Melissa. Melissa." Then, a man wrapped his arms around me. I could see this from a side profile view; he was on the left, and I was on the right. As he held me, I noticed the intricate details of his left hand wrapped around me, resting against my right side. Suddenly, he transformed into light. It felt like a father holding his daughter. I haven’t been held like that in a very long time. 1 Samuel 13:14; Phil. 4:8; 1 John 4:8; and John 17. 


The minority had a deeper grasp of the core issue. King David was known as a man after God's own heart. In John 17, Jesus prayed that we would come to know the Father as He knows the Father. Furthermore, I hold the belief in the light of God and that He embodies love.


In the eighth vision, was a sound. I heard a slight, demonic tone that seemed to resonate in my room. It was dissatisfied, but it didn’t attack.

Eph. 6:12 and Luke 10:20. 


In the ninth vision, I saw a massive, dark juggernaut that looked like it was covered in silt as it advanced from East to West. The center of it was appalling. I don't think the world has seen anything like this. The military leader of this army was stationed on a large, cylindrical, thick metal structure that crushed the earth as it pressed onward. It was enormous and had fleshy horns that waved around in the air like an elephant's trunk. There were little lights on the outside of this metal structure, resembling what you would see inside a high-security military operation. The army surrounded and supported this entity. I could hear the deafening sound of this massive structure moving. A voice then said to me, 'They cannot see you.'


I believe this entity is connected to the 4th beast described in Daniel 7. The ninth vision also relates to Isaiah 26-30 "The army of terrifying precision and ferocity presented in the final verses, machine and wild beast in one, is Assyria's to the life. But this power, the greatest of its day, is at the Lord's beck and call (v26)---small comfort for the rebel, for whom this group of chapters ends without a ray of hope."-(Guthrie, Motyer, Stibbs, Wiseman, The New Bible Commentary Revised (WM. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.), 594.


The tenth vision took me by surprise. A horde of evil soldiers began emerging from their trenches, their kingdom, moving in multitudes faster than any soldiers I've ever seen. They had something illuminated on their backs, casting an eerie glow as they rapidly advanced.


Upon further reflection on the tenth vision, it wasn't the surprise that struck me—it was the sense of alarm. 


God can use any army to execute His judgment on any people. In the book of Habakkuk, who is believed to be a Levite and a member of a professional guild of prophets associated with the Temple, he warned about the Chaldeans' invasion. "The reign of evil king Manasseh had been 'an age to try the faith of pious souls' (Kirk-patrick). The reformation under King Josiah (639-609 BC) had proved ineffectual and so the iniquity and perverseness (1:3) of backsliding Judah must be punished. For this God is raising up the Chaldeans."--(Guthrie, Motyer, Stibbs, Wiseman, The New Bible Commentary Revised (WM. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.), 767. The Chaldeans were among the most ruthless and violent armies, adhering to the belief that "might is right."


Moreover, the final evil army I saw was not entirely composed of flesh. They wore deep black uniforms and moved with great speed, resembling the Anti-Christ army forming in preparation for the Gog and Magog War. They appeared more demonic than human. 


The Victory is Christ's


Seconds after sharing my visions on the prayer board, I received from the Holy Spirit the scripture Luke 11:22.


Luke 11:22 (ESV) says: "but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil."


What does Luke 11:22 mean?


Jesus continues His short parable about how Satan can't empower him because He is working to destroy Satan (Luke 11:14–20). Jesus portrays Satan as a strong man who has many defenses—including demonic servants—to keep his kingdom and possessions—including demon-oppressed people—secured. Jesus is stronger, however. During His earthly ministry, Jesus "attacks" by casting out demons and teaching repentance, rescuing many who lived under Satan's influence. At the resurrection Jesus will definitively defeat Satan (Colossians 2:8–15), and at the second coming Jesus' victory will be complete (Revelation 19:11—20:15).-https://www.bibleref.com/Luke/11/Luke-11-22.html


I was also prompted to look up Isaiah 13:11. Isaiah 13:11: "I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will put an end to the pomp of the arrogant, and lay low the pompous pride of the ruthless."


The final scripture given to look up is Revelation 20:15: "And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”



I no longer have the document of the warning dream I experienced in July 2019, which I once shared with someone. It was one of the most troubling dreams I have ever had—a vivid warning that something grievous was about to come upon our nation. This dream came just before the world was thrust into isolation, masks, COVID, and widespread injections.


In the dream, I saw two people dressed in yellow hazmat suits, walking in circles inside a warehouse-like facility. Around them lay a massive pile of dead bodies. They moved as though this scene was expected, almost routine. I woke up terrified. I documented the dream and shared it with someone, who confirmed that it was prophetic. The written record may have been removed from my belongings before I left Nebraska.



In November 2025, during his Will They Divide Up America? 1980's (approximate year) sermon, Mr. Sheldon declared that the southern region of the United States is being overtaken.

I believe the image of fish moving to and fro symbolizes the shifting winds of doctrine within our nation.



War.
