Liquidate Luxuries - UBM [David Eells]

In the dream, I am driving a horse and carriage. (The old scriptural ways.) The kind that you see in New York Central Park. There are lots of people around. I am driving around this narrow course that they have cordoned off. I'm stopping and picking up people and they ride for awhile and then they get off and more people get on. Sometimes there are obstacles in the way that I have to avoid. But I can't veer off. I have to be very careful to stay on this path. The whole area is like a very busy city block. (Temptations to get off the narrow road.)

Then the scene changes and I am in a very large restaurant. It is very crowded and there are lots of tables with people eating and drinking. (I asked about the restaurant and at random got {Psa.49:6} They that trust in their wealth, And boast themselves in the multitude of their riches.)

(Large ministry serving spiritual food.) I am sitting at a small table with a few friends. Merlene is sitting across from me. I then get up in search of a restroom. When I come to the ladies restroom, it is very crowded. (Getting rid of waste from lives.) All of the women crowding around it are very richly-dressed with fancy hats and dresses. All of these women are very wealthy and the restroom itself looks to be made of marble. It is too crowded to get in. (Many getting rid of the luxuries of life, which is necessary at this time.)

I notice that Merlene is there and realize that she has the same idea that I have and that is to head for another restroom that is a few blocks away. This restroom is a much humbler one and that not may people know about it. (Some have already cast out the luxuries that slow our progress.) So, we are moving down the street pretty quickly. (Able to progress quickly without the distractions. We must get light and ready to move into the wilderness. Liquidate.) I notice that I am taking long strides and Merlene is moving fast as well. We come to what looks to be the outskirts of town. I see a hill (a higher place in God) with several red brick apartment buildings on top. (Apartments are congregations of God's people built together into a holy temple in the Lord.) Closer in toward us there is an area that is being graded by a bulldozer. (The term that comes to mind is "earth mover".) They are preparing the area for more buildings. (Dirt or flesh must be conformed in order to build the Kingdom.) I look over just opposite this hill and there is another hill. On top of this hill I see white horses and white chariots. The horses have riders. They are milling about and exercising the horses. (Jesus in the Man-child ministry is ready to begin the tribulation.)

Next, my attention is drawn back to the bulldozer. He suddenly whirls around and moves out of the area very fast -- I mean like someone punched the fast-forward button. (The foundation is prepared; must get out of the way for the building to start. This means the people who make up the buildings are coming.) Merlene and I likewise follow him, going very fast. Keep in mind we are still on foot but it is like we are in racecars. We are going around curves and I am trying to slow down. I hear Merlene say, "This is very scary". Finally, we manage to slow down and stop. Then I wake up.

While meditating on this dream, the Lord brought this scripture to mind: {Mat.24:37} And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. {38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, {39} and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. {40} Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: {41} two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. {42} Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. {43} But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. {44} Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

I also asked the Lord for another word concerning this dream and at random my finger came down on {Amo.4:4} Come to Beth-el, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes every three days; {5} and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah. {6} And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. {7} And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. {8} So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. {9} I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath the palmer-worm devoured: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. {10} I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. {11} I have overthrown cities among you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah. {12} Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
