The God of the Living

Within a span of time I had a vivid dream about my adopted daughter who died pregnant, from a drug overdose in 2021.

Then I dreamed that my dad, who died over 15 years ago, was just up the road, able to come rescue me from a deflated bicycle tire.

I don’t usually dream about people I miss who have passed into Eternity.

There were two other dreams.

One seemed to be a glimpse of Heaven and the other a premonition of despair and pain.

I have thought about writing about these things, but it seems personal and maybe a little kooky to tell people about one’s dreams.

Only problem is that other people have brooked their discomfort, shared their dreams and anchored me with them.

Micah 4:1-5 KJV
[1] But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. [2] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. [3] And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. [4] But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it. [5] For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

Humans are eternal.

Jesus is the single, transforming Rescuer who can save us.

Heaven and Hell are mysteries worth pursuing both in how they manifest in our lives now—great Light and deep shadows in this temporal world, and what they will be forever and what we will be to them.
