Just an update on what the dream was likely about. There were dozens upon dozens of bombing threats e-mailed in or phoned in across the country yesterday, especially in the key swing States like Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia, where polling had to be extended over an hour because "incidents" occurred that brought all voting to a halt.

Election Day Bomb Threats: Swing States Face Threats Blamed On Russia—Here’s What We Know

Alison Durkee

Voting in multiple battleground states was disrupted on Tuesday as numerous polling places received death threats, many of which the FBI said it determined had ties to Russia, prolonging polling place hours and raising the specter of election interference.

KEY FACTS

Polling places in states including Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin have been targeted by bomb threats, law enforcement has confirmed, which led to evacuations and voting getting paused—though it’s not clear if they’re all linked.

Courts have allowed many affected polling places to extend their voting hours because of the disruptions, which means it will take longer for full results to be reported in battleground states.

Many targeted polling places were in areas that favor Democratic candidates, including Philadelphia and predominantly Black areas around Atlanta.

____________________________

The FBI, despite calling them "non-credible threats," is warning that they will intensify in coming weeks:

In Fulton County, Ga., officials said they received bomb threats at 32 of the 177 polling places, resulting in brief closures at five of them... “These activities will intensify through election day and in the coming weeks, and that foreign influence narratives will focus on swing states,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, FBI, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a joint statement. (Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin report bomb threats originating in Russia as Americans cast ballots, Los Angeles Times, Nov. 5th, 2024).

No. not at all, and greetings John D.

The brother that sent me that has received dozens upon dozens of dreams regarding more personal matters and they have proven astonishingly accurate. so when he sent me this I kinda freaked out and decided it needed to be published across multiple Christian forums so that people could be praying. As I've told others before, when it comes to things like Presidential elections, all sorts of things can be effected if the people of God pray, because on occasions you can have hundreds if not thousands of saints all beseeching God over the same thing. Not sure how many were praying over this, but I know some definitely were. I was praying through most of the night because I knew how trustworthy a source he is. 

Anyway, just glad to see no one got hurt. Matters not to me if I appear to be a "false prophet" or not. I simply carry out my charges as a soldier of Christ and a servant of God.

Blessings in Christ Jesus,

Hidden In Him.

@ayin jade Thank you for praying, sister. I appreciate you taking the time.

I do not know if your friends dream is right or not, but one should pray for the safety of both candidates and others in this election. If there is another assasination attempt, it would not surprise me if someone would then go after harris. Or the vp picks as well. Or people at the polling places. etc

It's certainly possible, and thank you for the post. I have been posting for several weeks now elsewhere on how all the vitriol on Christian forums has been detrimental, and how it is unbecoming of us as believers. The scriptures teaches to pray for our leaders, not slander them.

Blessings in Christ.  

Just read a note from my brother who sent the dream this morning, and what he said witnessed with my spirit, because I had been realizing the same thing today while meditating on it.

His post:

I pray it is not a mass causality event of some type, all of those ambulances and hearses. Trump may not be the primary target.

My response:

That's the same thing I was thinking. Like a bombing incident, possibly somewhere where there are a lot of parked cars, or an actual junkyard. I have no idea what the layout of that facility in Macon is, but it makes perfect sense.

Pray for the safety of everyone at that rally tomorrow. They are innocent people who do not deserve being harmed.

I am standing under a very large metal roof pavilion. No lights on under the pavilion but it is daytime, I am the only one under the pavilion and the only person in the dream. I look to my left and outside the pavilion I see ambulances of different shapes and sizes but they are in straightly parked rows all facing to my right, they are parked very close together.

In another grouping right next to the ambulances are funeral hearses of different shapes but all shiny and clean as the ambulances were too. The hearses are all parked closely together in straight rows and are all facing right as the ambulances were, the ambulances and hearses were not mixed together, they were in separated groups but still where the parked ambulances ended the parked hearses began there was no space between the two groups of vehicles.

Further to my right next to the hearses is a automobile junk yard, the junkyard is not full and cars are parked in a haphazard fashion in groups of two or three with lot of room between them and trees and bushes are growing up next to the junked cars, it looks as though no one visits the junk yard much anymore. I have my 35mm camera with me, I have just loaded a roll of film and advance the film to snap off a few pictures that will be of no good because it is the film leader, but the camera shutter snaps without me pressing the button. I now walk out from under the pavilion to take pictures of the junk yard. End of Dream.

I then asked what the mood was behind all the hearses, and he replied:

The dream had an overall feeling of impending doom and dread, no other people in the dream, just me. The first thing I thought about after having this dream was a Trump rally, as in Trump speaking from under a pavilion. So I looked at Trump's schedule, Macon GA, tomorrow and here is what it looks like.

(Note: Images not allowed to be posted here, but it's a large pavilion).

If not in Georgia then someplace else, but this could be tomorrow. So please pray that both he and the country are protected from what would be a great tragedy. 

Blessings in Christ to all who read these words and pray for our former President.

...yes, and the sanctions haven't deterred Putin one bit.  So have to wonder what is the point of keeping these sanctions going if they are not serving any useful purpose.  Seems as though either western political leaders are under a spirit of stupor (aka God's judgment), or they are doing this on purpose...or both.

Never got these alerts (I don't think, anyway), so sorry for not responding. 

I agree. Many seem to assume the Biden Administration is just dense, but that's a bit naive IMO. I suppose it is a wiser tactic than outright accusing them of things without irrefutable proof, so they go with "these people are clueless" instead, however I think the opposite is actually true. But I'm not appearing to millions of people every night and liable for being sued, so I can voice what others can't for fear of legal repercussions. 

I think they know exactly what they are doing.

It sounds like a very sad and tragic event of hatred toward gay people. I do not condone their lifestyle, but it is still very sad to see hatred poured out on targeted groups of people.

No, it didn't appear to be a hate crime. The way the cops were describing things to me, he had a number of enemies within the gay community itself, and though I never kept track of it to see if they ever caught the killer, the ex-boyfriend was apparently a prime subject. 

The point of my post was to confirm from my own experience something said by a previous poster about there being more violence within the gay community itself than the media lets on about.

If you ever get the chance look at videos disclosing what happened behind the scenes with people like Ellen DeGeneres and Elton John. They are some of the most miserable people alive and they take those frustrations out on others behind the scenes. There is the scripted public persona and then the miserable person none wants to work for.

The outcome of a poll is a direct reflection of the way questions are asked. Gay people fight among themselves. The police are being called in for domestic violence all of the time. Yet they want non gays to accept the very people they do not accept. They are very fragmented with each person wanting to create their own unique identity. They get very upset if you talk about their conflicts and disputes with each other. Esp when the police are called in. 

Interesting points, and I truly hate to sound incriminating, but I actually have a little experience that confirms it strangely enough. Not long after I had graduated college I was looking for a place to live and could only afford a room somewhere. I found this place close to work. Unfortunately it was this dude who was homosexual, though he didn't appear that  blatant about it on the surface. At the moment (for whatever silly reason), I thought, "He doesn't seem so bad, and the rate is cheap so maybe I'll try it for awhile." That must have been desperation thinking, because a day or so before I moved in he had his ex-boyfriend over when I was there, maybe to get him jealous or something. It apparently worked, because a few days later someone murdered my would-have-been roommate by beating him to death with some blunt instrument. The cops even questioned me like I might have had something to do with it, and I was like, "I didn't even know the guy."

Needless to say I wasn't too interested in looking into rooming with any homosexuals after that. I seriously shouldn't have been to begin with for common sense reasons, but I had no idea how vicious they could be to one another. As you say, John, it's not well known outside the community, but if you get close enough, you will see signs of it.

And maybe you are correct and this is the only reason any ever come to Christ at all.

When God " gives someone over" to something maybe it isn't necessarily permanent, even though I often see those people never turning around, especially since everyone around them is constantly affirming their behavior, even the laws of the land.

When a person is handed over or given to the devil, I guess until their last breath it isn't technically over. In reality though, how many people have we known who really change? Most people never change. I have seen a few exceptions. Sometimes it takes a wakeup call. Look at Freddy Mercury, Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres. All loud,proud and in our faces. In Ellen's case millions of housewives adored her every day. If ever there were modern day stories of "The Emporer's New Clothes" this is it. We will all just ignore the delusion that everything is ok.

There will always be those 'what if' stories. "Maybe while on their deathbed" they repented.  I guess anything is possible but highly unlikely.

All depends on the price they pay. 

The three you mentioned all prospered in this life, but not everyone ends up happy. Maybe prayer is involved in some of the ones that don't. I've seen quite a few homosexual relationships go bad, and no one wants to be lonely. And that's the wonderful thing about Christianity; if you give your heart to God, you never have to be lonely again, especially if you have Christian friends you can talk to as well.

Since the Bible is clear we don't wrestle against flesh and blood, we wrestle against invisible forces of evil on the earth, I see homosexuals as having been caught up in the enemy's web. There is a caveat to continued sins of the flesh. There is an implication to the PERSON as stated in Romans chap. 1 18-22. Since they willfully rejected the ways of God, He has blinded them to practice these evil deeds.

I take this to mean they really can't see how immorally crazy they are. First they would't see, now they CAN'T see. It is almost as if  in the same way we are SEALED to redemption, they are sealed to damnation. Some homosexuals have been turned to God. Something deep within them turned to God. Could it be similar to the way any sinner who continues to sin can get to the very bottom. The very lowest depravity. Maybe just maybe at that point a minority of them decides to look up. To desire a way out of it. When all other ways to cope have been exhausted.

So long as we are all so very "accepting" of them, we only aid in their delusion. Accept the person. Point out the sin in love if the Lord leads. 

Too much acceptance and velvet .vs steel they won't recognize you from anyone else.

Hmmm...

The passage is here:

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

I think "giving them over" implies allowing them to believe and act as they wish, yes, and also that they were being given over to the influence of demonic spirits as well, because Paul used the word "uncleanness" in the passage, which was an understood reference to demonic (i.e. "unclean") spirits. But it might be going a bit too far to be saying they are "sealed unto damnation," unless you mean by it that their freewill is still intact. I think demonic spirits are a type of "seal" of spiritual certification much like the Holy Spirit is for believers, but I think neither is a permanent declaration of ownership. I think freewill is still always in play, though with some - should they refuse God time and time again - their number of remaining good opportunities may be dwindling away.

This might sound funny but I'm not being funny

I have a relative that used to take things she wanted from the time she could reach & grab for whatever she " desired" to have.

Of course she was told " no" before she was old enough to reason with & as she got older she was taught right from wrong( just as her 3 other siblings were)... This behavior went on & on until her " stealing" was so out of hand that she was taken to a psychiatrist who labeled her as a kleptomaniac

Okay my point is this-does" she can't help it" apply? I'm a Christian who just has to call a spade a spade. I will never buy into mans facts,labels or excuses because it is ALL spiritual warfare

Yes,binding spirits can pass from generation to generation, spiritual oppression & possession does not discriminate age and when a person cannot or will not resist temptation to feed the desires of their flesh there is but one cure- JESUS

Every shackle & chain is broken when we are Born Again…..... Can they help it,probably temporarily & oh boy what a struggle but when Delivered of evil..... Glory to God!

Anyway,Christians can certainly be bound again after Deliverance but then they will have Holy Spirit tugging at their heart.... Many a homosexual has been Born Again & can(& do) testify of how they were convinced they were born that way & then( some after years of struggling flesh against spirit) were FREE after they Received Gods Truth

In His Love Kwik

Exactly.

There are numerous scriptures that came to mind in reading ET's post and then yours. For starters, Paul taught that no temptation has taken us except what it common to man and that the Lord always provides a way of escape if we choose to take it, the meaning being precisely that we cannot be tempted beyond out means to resist because God would not allow it.

Then there is the passage in James about when we are tempted through our own lusts, which again suggests that the temptations the enemy uses to seduce us arise from ourselves and are not the result of the overpowering influence of outside forces.

14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning.

Too much to explain, but "deviation, nor shadow of turning" there are symbolic references to demonic spirits, who speak half-truths in the ear but whose "light" turns to darkness and seductions and temptations. But as the rest of the Chapter implies (see v.21), the decision is ours to either allow such thoughts and desires to be "implanted" within us or not. It's why he advised to receive the implanted word of God instead, "which has the power to save our souls."

God is still on His throne and can turn anything around for good.  Back in the day I became an unwed mother and was so grateful not to be stigmatized and shunned, but was extended compassion and allowed to keep my dignity by being called a "single mother".  I don't know how I could have lived it down otherwise, and all these things having to do with my circumstances helped to prepare my heart for the gospel and a few years later the Lord came calling and I was saved.  Think I've really only just begun to understand how mercy triumphs over judgment, the Lord has begun opening my eyes to this.

Jesus came not to condemn but to save...it's not for us to condemn and reject lost souls but to proffer His mercy and compassion...His kindness leads to repentance...it is God who knows all things about each soul and will righteously and justly judge everyone in the end.  This world is terminally ill with sin and dysfunction, and it is sad to see, and instead of judging/condemning, rejecting and worrying, we need to be interceding for these folks.

With homosexuals I think behind all the bravado we see people who mostly have been hurt and wounded in their growing up years.   We all were sinners who had lost our way at one time as well, and Jesus had compassion and mercy on us while we were yet sinners.

Sin is sin and the gospel message is the same to all regardless of what kind of sin they became ensnared in.  If you ask me there is that God is using the changing circumstances of our society to test and try US....so truth be told we really need to be examining our own hearts in these days, not our neighbours'.   

Sometimes I think it's like the devil is flaunting his feathers in our faces to try and make us believe he has the upper hand...but he doesn't, God is very much on His throne as always and we must not lose confidence in Him.  Not going to lie, it can be difficult and dismaying at times to see how things are going, but the truth remains and I have to remind myself as well, that we need to rise above whatever circumstances are presenting around us and be in the spirit, not in the flesh. 

Beautifully put, HLM.

I'm not sure if I mentioned this here - maybe elsewhere - but I don't think the typical homosexual is actually a problem. I don't see them any differently than anyone else, at least so long as they are not throwing sexuality in my face, and I make friends with them easily and get along with them well, even when they know full well what my beliefs are. I have a co-worker right now who is lesbian, and she knows I'm Christian but is warming up to me a lot because I make her laugh and treat her kindly and respectfully.

My real worry is with the governments in the West. I don't think they are honestly concerned with the welfare of homosexuals near so much as wanting to undermine the influence of Christianity in society. That may come off as something of a "conspiracy theory," but I have been around long enough to see a number of trends leading in that direction, hence why I posted the OP. Biblical Christianity is not just viewed as "outdated" but as the enemy, and I suspect they are going to attempt to eradicate its influence one way or the other. The homosexual issue just seems like the most likely route.

God bless, and I enjoyed reading your post.

Dream 2008

I was standing on a cliff over looking the water below. It was a shear drop off high above the water. There was no turning back I new I had to jump to survive. I hit the water below sinking deeper and deeper it seem like a long time before hitting the bottom. Then I pushed hard with my feet off the bottom toward the surface of the water. On the way up I needed a breath of air I cried out Lord help me I don't want to drown as I reached the water surface I heard the Lord say in a loud voice 45 End of Dream.

Greetings, Arrowcreek. 

I was reading this dream the other day and some things came to mind. There is an expression in finances called being "underwater." It's especially related to homes being worth less than what's owed on them, but it can also be applied to other assets as well. 

Anyway, the thing I wanted to point out was that there was a prophecy given back around 2007 concerning America that there would be a "bubble of hope" come to the nation but that it will be short-lived. I believe this prophecy was fulfilled during the Trump Presidency.

If you'd like to read more, I created a thread about it that just passed approval. When you have time, check it out and tell me what you think.

I'd also doubt the statistics based on societal pressures. Many people refuse to state their stances, even outside of homosexuality, for fear of what happens. Twitter even vaguely thinks you have an opinion, well... Bye bye job, hello harassment.

Greetings sister, and I think this goes to point. Some may already be kowtowing to public pressure, and if so how many more will do so in the future? In effect, even if some are doing it already, the poll is accurate in terms of how many are presently willing to stand up and be counted and how many are now becoming increasingly afraid to.

The difficulty is in the wording ..ACCEPTANCE  doesnt actually mean wanting to join in or thinking they are right it means accepting that they have a choice . My next door neighbour is homosexual  He is open in that he has no interest in women in a sexual manner  but he certainly doesnt go around advertising the fact or pushing it into other peoples faces So do I " accept " him YES he is one of the kindest people around here and polite,  thoughtful, loves my grandchildren and my dogs, in fact the best neighbour one could ask for . His choices are his own and his relationship or not is between himself and God it is not for me to not " accept " him   

Understand, what is at issue is the acceptance of homosexuality, not the homosexuals themselves. Will there be universal acceptance of homosexual practices within Western society by 2040, and if so, how many believers will still be willing to speak out against it in such an environment.

Not to worry.

I clicked on the link.  The question says [in fine print at the bottom] that only a "half sample" was used. Which begged the question, what is a whole sample used by Gallop?

I Googled a while and found that they believe that there are about 187,000,000 adults in the United States and that they use 1,000 people as a sample for that many people.  They think that is enough to represent everyone.

I don't.  Plus, what was the representative sampling comprised of?  Gay people, straight people, religious people, non-religious people, old people, young people, male, female, black, white, Native American, hispanic......?

So, with a "half sample", that would mean only 71% of 500 people said that homosexuality was morally acceptable.

 

Hello Jane, and good to see you again.

I understand that polls can be manipulated, but with this I'm not sure that's the case. It's certainly possible they can be skewing things, but also possible they are not. If they are tampering with the numbers then it is a coordinated effort, because a Pew Research study from a few years ago was apparently even larger (exact numbers of US polling not provided), and it came to the same conclusions. See 2nd paragraph.

Charlotte: Support for the LGBTQ community has generally increased in the U.S. and abroad in recent years, including with landmark Supreme Court decisions five years ago and last week legalizing same-sex marriage and barring LGBTQ employment discrimination. Still, some parts of the world are more accepting than others, as detailed in a report released Thursday by the Pew Research Center.

The report is based on a 2019 survey that asked over 38,000 people in 34 countries whether they thought homosexuality should be accepted by society. In the U.S., the percentage of respondents accepting of homosexuality rose to 72% in 2019 from 60% in an earlier survey in 2013. Rates had jumped more than 20 points in India and 16 in Turkey, but support remains low: 37% and 25%, respectively. In 2018, India’s high court decriminalized homosexuality.

In Lebanon, for instance, 85% of respondents said homosexuality should not be accepted, while 72% in Tunisia said that. The median rate of acceptance of homosexuality in Central and Eastern Europe was 46%.

“Those differences across regions, which can also be an indicator of economic development, are really interesting findings that have remained steady, even as there have been changes on overall levels of acceptance,” said Jacob Poushter, one of the report authors and associate director for Pew Research Center’s global attitudes research.

I wonder too. Yesterday at work we had to sit through an hour long training on gender pronouns. I was just shaking my head the entire time. Very disturbed. 

Did they allow for a civil discussion on the issue? LoL.

Just saw something interesting. A recent Gallup poll is showing that 71% of respondents now say homosexuality is morally acceptable, with only 28% saying it is not. That amounts to a 30% jump in those who favor it (up from 40% to 70%) in just two decades.

If this is the case, and if that's how quickly public opinion is changing, we should assume that Western society will be approaching almost universal acceptance within just the next 20 years. I wonder how many Christians will still stand for what the word of God actually teaches on the subject by 2040.

This one was obvious from the day the war in Ukraine started, but for anyone who might have doubted, the proof is now becoming evident. Those running the show deliberately sabotaged the WESTERN economies through the supposed sanctions "against Russia." Russia is going through considerable manpower and militarily equipment, but their economy is now marching along at a better clip than it was when the war began.

Lest anyone think the powers that be were simply "underestimating things," let me reiterate this again. They are NOT stupid, ok. They know exactly what they are doing, and they knew EXACTLY what would happen. The destruction of the Western economies - particularly the US economy - is proceeding apace EXACTLY as planned from the beginning. Anyone who thinks otherwise simply doesn't understand what they are watching take place.

He's certainly that, LoL.  

Much I could comment on, but there are others who seem to think Biden at the very least has indeed actually checked out. For my part I always assumed so myself, but the thing that strikes me as interesting now is that so many he has under his employ seem to take the same posture if you will, even those in the prime of life or with stellar credentials.

I know what you mean about the education establishment, as it appears the same mentality took over Christian academia as well in many circles. But I sense something very deliberate afoot in the Biden Administration now. I was watching Kudlow talking about how they needed to send a quality, knowledgeable representative to the Oil industry execs and work out a solution, but instead they chose to send in a complete numskull who wasn't even up on the situation. Again I think this was deliberate. If they can make people think they are simply ignorant, people will more readily excuse the fact that their policies are destroying the country.

Apparently they met again a few days ago, but time will tell if anything has changed. A few weeks ago, Chevron CEO Mike Wirth wrote a letter to Biden saying that he “has largely sought to criticize, and at times vilify, our industry,” and it took Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre only a day or two after the latest meeting to do it again, so they could just be pulling the wool over their eyes like they are doing with the American people.
