Prepare for the Marriage Feast and Judgment

This was a two-part dream I received while lodging at Millie Bryan's house after five days of fasting. That morning, in our prayer time together, Millie shared with me that at the same time I was receiving the dream, she was receiving verses for me. I will include them, too.

Part 1: Change of Clothes

I want to change my clothes! The clothes that I am wearing just do not seem appropriate anymore. (Changing clothes represents changing our works. {Rev.19:8} And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. It is imperative that we put on our wedding garments for the wedding feast, which is the last seven days [the tribulation] before the Bride goes to the Groom's home, obviously in Heaven. {Mat.22:1} And Jesus answered and spake again in parables unto them, saying, {2} The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king (the Father), who made a marriage feast for his son (Jesus), {3} and sent forth his servants (Jesus and His disciples were calling the Covenant people to partake of the Words of life from Jesus and so it will be with the Man-child.) to call (Greek: kaleo; "invite") them that were bidden (Greek: kaleo; "invite") to the marriage feast.... Notice: Who was being invited to partake of this feast? God's Covenant people, meaning the saved, according to Covenant. Jesus said, "I have not been sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel", and He sent His disciple only to them. Who are the lost sheep of Israel today? Christians! A person gets saved and has a Covenant BEFORE they get this invitation, as Paul said: {2Ti.1:9} who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, {Mat.22:3} and sent forth his servants (Jesus and His disciples were calling the Covenant people to partake of the Words of life from Jesus.) to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. In the end of the Hebrews' Covenant, they were called to the Good News but refused. Now, in the end of the Church's Covenant on Earth, He will call them and many of them will refuse, too. {4} Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are bidden (Greek: kaleo; "invite" -- the saved by faith only) , Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my oxen and my fatlings are killed (the sacrifice has been offered from the foundation of the world), and all things are ready: come to the marriage feast.

What did the people in Jesus' day feast on at a marriage feast? The bread and the wine of life, the body and blood of Christ: {Joh.6:31} Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread out of heaven to eat. {32} Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. {33} For the bread of God is that which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. {34} They said therefore unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. {35} Jesus said unto them. I am the bread of life (the Word from Heaven): he that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. ... {50} This is the bread (Word) which cometh down out of heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. {51} I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea and the bread which I will give is my flesh (He was the Word made flesh and so are we to be), for the life of the world. {52} The Jews therefore strove one with another, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? {53} Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves. {54} He (Covenant people) that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day. {55} For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. {56} He that eateth my flesh(The Word) and drinketh my blood (the life) abideth in me, and I in him. Abiding in Jesus is to have His Word living in you: {2Jn.9} Whosoever goeth onward (as a Christian) and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son. {1Jn.2:24} As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning (the Word first preached, the body of Christ) abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.

So the Covenant people were too busy with the world to accept the invitation to partake of the body and blood which cleanses Covenant people from the very nature of sin. {Mat.22:5} But they made light of it (meaning it was most important for their salvation to be manifested), and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise; {6} and the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them (just as they are doing now). {7} But the king was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city (judgment on apostate Jerusalem; Babylonish leadershp in the Church). {8} Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy. Notice the seven-year wedding feast started but they were not worthy and not there. {9} Go ye therefore unto the partings of the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. Notice that the Gospel then went out to whosoever will.

{10} And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good (those who were lost and those who were saved): and the wedding was filled with guests. {11} But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment: {12} and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. Many do not know that we are not qualified to partake of the body and blood of Christ unless we are also walking in it, meaning changing our works. As James 2 reads, "Faith without works is dead". "I will show you my faith by my works". {13} Then the king said to the servants, Bind him hand and foot (meaning he is not able to do the works or walk the walk of Jesus), and cast him out into the outer darkness (reprobated from the Kingdom of light); there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth (tribulation judgment and Day of the Lord). {14} For many are called (only the saved by faith are invited), but few chosen. Only those who bear fruit of the body and blood of Christ will be chosen. Those who willfully disobey the Word have no sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus and are under judgment. {Heb.10:26} For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, {27} but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.

My clothes that didn't seem appropriate and impressed me as fussy and frilly, with too many parts to them; something that my mother (the apostate church) would enjoy, but not me. (Some works like some clothing are for show, only to impress men, like religious works without relationship with the Lord.) I go to the bedroom to change, but as I am taking these clothes off, my bedroom is no longer private. People are walking to and fro. (When we change our works for the positive, it is rarely private because people and our relationship with them and our dealings with them are involved. For instance, "resist not him that is evil", "love your enemy", "if you see your brother in need", the great commission, heal the sick, etc.) I don't really like the lack of privacy, but I'm intent on changing, so I proceed (we must confess God before men). As in real life, I keep my right bicep turned away from the traffic area. (We must confess before men the source of our strength.) (In real life, as in the dream, there is a benign mass on my right bicep that, in my view, doesn't glorify the Lord in any way.) (Most people tend to put their best face forward in an attempt to be acceptable to others. No one likes rejection. But the most powerful thing we can do to change our works is to "confess our sins one to another and pray one for another". Also, a bicep is the strength of our arm or works. This strength should be of the Lord and not subject to the curse, as our own strength and works are.)

I get that outfit removed and I search for the new clothing. I can't find anything at first. Someone offers me a shirt or top on which I had been working, but it was only cut and pinned, not sewn. It wasn't finished. No, that's not right, I think. (When it's cut and not sown, it can ravel quickly and fail. When it's held on by pins, it could fail at any moment. What is pinned on is really not a part of us. It reminds me of a sister whose tree had the fruit tied on with string. It wasn't tied into the branch and the sap life that flows through it from the roots in the Word.) I keep looking; it seems to go on for a while. Then I just see a hand (the hand of God in the earth are His ministers of truth and righteousness) offer me a beautiful pair of ladies' trousers that are pink with silver threads. (Trousers represent our walk. Pink is for a womanly and not a manly walk. Many sisters need to work on this by examining scriptures. Silver is for value because this walk is valuable to God.) This is it! This is what I've been looking for. I don the pink (joy) and silver (purity?) trousers, and finish out the new ensemble with a coordinating top, and off I go. (Praise the Lord for success in pleasing Him in our works.)

Verse at random I received for this change of clothes revelation: {Job42:10} And the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. {11} Then came there unto him all his brethren, and al his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him and comforted him concerning all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold. {12} So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.... (We go through many trials and tribulations to crucify our old works and we are more blessed in our latter end to do the works of Jesus. {Rom.13:11} And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. {12} The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. {13} Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. {14} But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].)

It seems that when Pam got dressed up for the Marriage Feast above, the New Madrid quake below separated the U.S.

Part 2: Judgments

We are at the home place. I'm looking east. (Toward the coming of the Lord in His Man-child.) I see something strange happening in the sky. Something like a plane is shooting out a canister that heads north in a straight line for a long while (shooting from the south to the north), but just at the far limit of the north horizon, it drops to the earth and does something. What has it done, I wonder? It was accomplishing a judgment of some sort. (I don't know much about war or fireworks, but the canister impressed me as being made of metal and seemed more like a big firework than a war missile.) As soon as the northbound one was shot off, the plane made a loop de loop and shot off a southbound one. It followed the same trajectory: straight as an arrow and then at the limit of the south horizon, down it went. (A judgment from north to south of the U.S. We have been hearing of just such a judgment from God. The New Madrid splitting the country from north to south as a judgment for the splitting of Israel, which is being attempted now through the agreement the Obama administration has said they want in April 2014. This would be the beginning of the end of the U.S. with much loss of life and its economy and the beginning of the tribulation. {Eze.20:47} and say to the forest (many times trees represent God's people) of the South, Hear the word of Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burnt thereby. He said He will burn up the chaff with "unquenchable fire". {48} And all flesh shall see that I, Jehovah, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. {21:4} Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north. Revival will come from this: {Isa.43:6} I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth; {7} every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.)

There was a small group of men standing next to us during this maneuver. The only man I recognized was Brother David. I saw him taking a picture on his cell phone of this strange happening in the sky. The feeling that I get as he is taking the picture is that he is documenting an assignment or an accomplishment. (The Man-child David's spoken warnings from the Lord will bring judgment from north to south.)

Then I look to the east-northeast again. I see a mushroom cloud erupting in that part of the sky. It seems that it erupted over either cold or frozen water. "Well, that takes care of THAT", I said or thought. (I do not know why I would have said or thought such a thing.) If the dream were to be taken literally, rather than spiritually, the general direction of the explosion would have been the vicinity of Lake Erie. (An explosion at Lake Erie in the north to the salt domes of Louisiana in the south and the well below that. Could this be God's way of describing terribly powerful judgments that bring the New Madrid quakes and rift or could it be well-placed nuclear bunker busters? Explosions have been seen in dreams to cause the New Madrid earthquakes and separation of the U.S.)

Verse at random I received for this revelation of judgments: {Mat.21:21} And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done. (Jesus, the Man-child David, judged the fruitless fig tree, apostate Israel. Jesus in the end time Man-child Davids will judge the fruitless fig tree, the apostate church from north to south. They will lose their power in worldly government so that they may seeks God's government. God's judgment will bring repentance and revival.)

Millie's verse received independently for me at the same time: {Psa.119:73} Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments. {74} They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, because I have hoped in thy word. {75} I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness thou has afflicted me. {76} Let, I pray thee, thy loving kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. {77} Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight. {78} Let the proud be put to shame; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: I will meditate on the precepts. {79} Let those that fear thee turn unto me; and they shall know thy testimonies, {80} Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I be not put to shame. (The Lord is using the apostates to crucify the flesh of His Man-child and Bride. One of the reasons the Man-child will judge the apostate church is because they have persecuted His people.)

Interpretation: I want the works of Christ, not works fit for the apostate church. Father God is giving me a new foundation of Christ-like works that are joyous and pure works. Sometime later certain people of God will be given the vision, authority and the responsibility to execute judgment upon the Beast and Earth. (Also, the apostate church is beastly and must be judged to be delivered from this.)

Get Dressed for the Wedding
William Steenland - 03/12/2014
(David's notes in red)

I had a dream I was in a large house on the second floor. The room was huge, about 40x30 feet. I was in a huge rush. I knew there was a wedding to go to. (The wedding feast is about to start.) I was looking for clothes to wear. I had about five dress shirts I was trying on and could make up my mind as to what would be appropriate to wear. I kept thinking to myself, "I wonder what everyone else is wearing and I wonder what David is wearing".

I tried on an orange shirt and didn't like it. Then I tried on a jean jacket. Then I tried on some things that I just didn't like. There was a white shirt that I had not tried on before. I said to myself, "Well, I'm just going to wear this white shirt; it's the only proper thing to wear to a wedding. (White is for purity, sanctification from sin, righteousness, etc.) In the dream, I was pressed for time but knew I would make it on time. I made the decision to wear the white shirt and walked to the bathroom. I said to myself, "I'm going to wear this white shirt and that's final". Or something like that.

End of dream.

I woke up 20 minutes before my alarm would have gone off. I prayed in the spirit and felt impressed to get a word.

This is the word I got.

Luk 2:1 Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled.

Luk 2:2 This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

Luk 2:3 And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city.

Luk 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David;

Luk 2:5 to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child.

Luk 2:6 And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered.

Luk 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Luk 2:8 And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.

Luk 2:9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

Luk 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people:

Luk 2:11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.

Luk 2:12 And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.

Luk 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Luk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

Luk 2:15 And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

Luk 2:16 And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger.

Luk 2:17 And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child.

Luk 2:18 And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds.

Luk 2:19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

Luk 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.

Luk 2:21 And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called JESUS, which was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Luk 2:22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

Luk 2:23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),

Luk 2:24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

Luk 2:25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

Luk 2:26 And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

Luk 2:27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, that they might do concerning him after the custom of the law,

Luk 2:28 then he received him into his arms, and blessed God, and said,

Luk 2:29 Now lettest thou thy servant depart, Lord, According to thy word, in peace;

Luk 2:30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Luk 2:31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples;

Luk 2:32 A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of thy people Israel.

Luk 2:33 And his father and his mother were marvelling at the things which were spoken concerning him;

Luk 2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

Luk 2:35 yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.

Luk 2:36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

Luk 2:37 and she had been a widow even unto fourscore and four years), who departed not from the temple, worshipping with fastings and supplications night and day.

Luk 2:38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks unto God, and spake of him to all them that were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

Luk 2:39 And when they had accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.

Luk 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Luk 2:41 And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

Luk 2:42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast;

Luk 2:43 and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem: and his parents knew it not;

Luk 2:44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey; and they sought for him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance:

Luk 2:45 and when they found him not, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking for him.

Luk 2:46 And it came to pass, after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them, and asking them questions:

Luk 2:47 and all that heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Luk 2:48 And when they saw him, they were astonished; and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I sought thee sorrowing.

Luk 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? knew ye not that I must be in my Father's house?

Luk 2:50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

Luk 2:51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth; and he was subject unto them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

Luk 2:52 And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
