Was Pilate Wife's Dream From God?

[Jerry1023]

Matt 27:19, when he was set down to the judgment seat,his wife.sent unto him saying have thou nothing to do with that just man:for i have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him" was the dream sent to pilate wife by satan in other to prevent the scripture from been fulfilled,iam a little bit confused,was the dream from God?

My take on this is based on the history of Pilate.

 

Pilate was known to be very vicious, and was known to condemn people to crucifixion is large numbers. So much so that the leadership among the Jewish people had complained to Rome about the excessive number of crucifixions. Rome was afraid of a rebellion and warned Pilate that if he continued, Rome would be forced to move Pilate to a much smaller and less desirable post.  

 

Along comes Jesus, who is innocent, and I think Pilates wife was concerned that if Pilate had Jesus crucified, it would not be good for his position. So, with that in mind, I think Pilates wife had a 'nightmare'. Pilate could have stopped the crucifixion of Jesus, but didn't. He just claimed he was not responsible for the crucifixion. Pilate was removed from his position over 'Palestine' and was transferred to one of the worst posts, over a remote outpost, 'Gaul'.

I don't believe that Satan knew that Jesus was meant to be crucified in order to fulfill scripture. Why would he have entered Judas in order to have Jesus betrayed and captured? Satan's intention was to kill the Messiah, not to help create one.

 

However, the dream must be significant, otherwise why mention it in scripture?

Pilate's brief appearance in Scripture is full of tragedy.He ignored his conscience,he disregarded the good advice of his wife.

The dream mentioned in Matthew 27:19 could have been from God.

There is a legend that Pilate eventually became a Christian, but there's probably no way to confirm nor refute that.

 

But if he did eventually come to the Lord, the things we read about him in Scripture would make sense - such as the way Jesus conversed with Pilate as opposed to how He completely ignored King Herod. (Ever wonder how John was able to record the conversation between Jesus and Pilate? Whom did he receive this information from?)

There is another 'legend' that Pilate committed suicide. I am not sure if that is purely legend or historically accurate. It is repeated multiple times, usually occurring in Gaul, but sometimes in other locations.

Scripture says, "All things are of God."

[JohnD]

All things are of God's awareness. Remember, he is the great Orchestrator of all things (good or bad) for the good of those who love him in Christ Jesus.

[JohnD]

Silly me. I take the Bible seriously. When it says Satan entered Judas... every act from that point in Judas life was from that disadvantage. The so called remorse of Judas was only remorse that he'd figured out (rather Satan figured out) that he'd played right into God's plan when he betrayed Jesus to be executed. He tried to stop it by feigning remorse and a retracted testimony to the priests but he'd done too good a job corrupting them.

 

When that didn't work... Judas hanged himself (no doubt due to the raging of his evil possessor was too much to bear). So like the herd of swine did with the legion of demons he killed himself to try to end the hell he was going through.

 

The dream of Pilate's wife was apparently another attempt to stop the crucifixion so was not of God and was more than likely another fallen spirit that followed Satan in trying to stop the crucifixion. But the corruption was too vast and deep. Pilate figured what he thought was a way out of being guilty of the blood of Jesus and to appease the priests and the people at the same time by ceremoniously washing his hands of the whole thing. It didn't work that way... but people make these kinds of gestures to absolve themselves from the law of sin and death and there is only one way to do that...

 

Romans 8:2 (KJV)
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
