Wow! A dream of the Seven Thunders.

[oliveoil]

I've had about 5 dreams that wakes me in awe. This was one of them, I had last week. I was out side looking at a brownish, cloudy night sky. Lighting streaked across it from right to lift as thunder roared. I just stood listening, for the longest when a angel came out of the sky and stood beside me. He asked me if I knew the voice of the thunder, I said no but I've heard of it somewhere. He then told me that this (The time I was living in) was the days of the seven thunders when they utter their voice. We continue to discuss this but all that was said I was unable to recall except for the one sentence. I felt awe during and after this dream. Do any of you have any ideals on the meaning. Just thought I would share.

I am thinking of the seven Churches in Revelations chapters 2-3. The brownish cloudly sky I believe represents dirtiness which typifies sinfulness.

What were the other dreams you've had?

Revelation 10:

(1) Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars.

(2) He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

(3) and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.

(4) And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."

(5) Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.

(6) And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, "There will be no more delay!

(7) But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."

(8) Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: "Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

(9) So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey."

(10) I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.

(11) Then I was told, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings."

Ah yes, the verse (4) experience......

I'm not sure what the seven thunders could be. In light of revelation 10:3-4 "when the seven thunders spoke", I would have to say that these are God's judgements.

Initially I thought about the seven Churches which typify the ages of the Church to be the speaking of the seven thunders but this doesnt make much sense if the seven thunders speak at a certain time.

Felix, if I'm reading you right, lol, let me explain what I think on the subject. The seven churches were actual churches at the time of the writing, but the various churches also can be used as typical of "church ages" that will occur down through time. Perhaps the seven thunders could be somewhere along that line as well?

Hello Ronald,

Yes, it perhaps could be. I was thinking that the seven thunders speaking may be the seven Churches but I'm not sure. I know that the seven Churches in Revelations were actually churches addressed by John yet they may prophetically speak of the ages of Churches now. It wouldn't make much sense that the seven Churches (prophetically speaking; the age of Churches) would speak at the same time. The thunder seems more like God's judgement.

I'm convinced that the brownish color of the clouds represents dirtiness or sinfulness.

Could very well be! There are some things in Revelation that literally just jump out at you and you're like "oh, yeah, I get it!" and then other times, we are left wondering what in the world was said, lol!
