Ezekiel 33:2-6
“”When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman,
3, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
5, He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life.
6, But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman”s hand.” (Ezekiel 33:2-6)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Pastor Mike Taylor;
Each of us are watchmen on the wall. If you stand behind a pulpit or preach to a congregation in whatever media you use, you have a responsibility to warn those who are in danger of hell fire and all that it represents. God does not send anyone to hell, as it is a decision that each of us must make, but the Word of God must start with men and women who are commissioned by God to take the Word of Truth to those who are in their sins.
Whether a minister believes he is a watchman or not, he is commissioned by God to spread the Gospel to the lost. He is to preach the penalty of sin. He is to abandon a feel good “gospel”, prosperity gospel, or a social speech of humanism and being just a “good citizen”. This won’t save anyone. It will not warn those who are walking the wide road and gate to destruction, but will only placate them that they are OK…they are not OK, as they do not have Jesus in their hearts. It is a minister’s job to take the message of salvation to his congregation, his community and the rest of the world.
Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries;
Prepping for ‘Mr. Fix-It’
Society is being prepped for the Antichrist, and as prophecy-loving believers try to warn, the words are falling on a lot of deaf ears.
The stage is being set for a closing act. The players are getting into their proper positions. Heads of state are meeting to plot and scheme and deny even more rights. In places like Australia, Lithuania, and Austria, good people are enemies of the state even though they are upstanding citizens.
World leaders have no comprehension they are majoring in minors. To them, it makes perfect sense to obsess over carbon emissions. During the Tribulation, this will fade from their memories as they cope with Seals and Trumpets and Bowls. These will spark “climate change” they cannot imagine!
Most receiving this newsletter are “watchmen.” Ezekiel 33 tells us that if you don’t warn, the blood is on your hands, so you cannot be silent.
Brace yourself to be shocked daily by things you read and watch. Satan is getting more active, and wickedness is rising, so God’s people must shine more brightly.
But for the believer, a glorious event will happen soon. It is known as the Rapture of the Church. It is any day. Any hour. Any minute. So don’t grow weary!
And yes, if a believer is a Rapture skeptic, they get the surprise of their life someday soon. Then you’ll have the privilege of saying, “I told you so.”
Won’t that be a glorious day?
Pastor Greg Laurie; Harvest Ministries
“God promises this in the book of Revelation, and He also gives us a promise of global peace. The Antichrist, however, will bring pseudo peace. During the first three-and-a-half years of the seven-year Tribulation, he will come across as a good guy. But in reality, he will be a bad guy. And the Scriptures say that he will use peace to deceive many. Ultimately, once Antichrist is taken out of the way, God will bring global peace.”

‘LAST DAYS’ / 7 Year Tribulation
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the ‘last day’, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:17And it shall come to pass ‘in the last days’, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Ten ‘10’ Denotes God’s divine ‘COMPLETENESS’ as to things on EARTH. In Revelation 10, he is opening up the ancient scrolls and ‘little book’ of prophecy that Daniel was told to ‘SEAL UP’ and not write of what was spoken. He was prophetically being told additional things that would transpire or occur ‘in the end of days’ and during the 7 year ‘tribulation.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the ‘time of the end’: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the ‘time of the end’.
‘Time of the End’:
Revelation ‘10’ And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a ‘little book open’: (NWN; Daniels ‘little book’ is now being opened by God’s Great Angel of Prophecy) and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven ‘7’ thunders uttered their voices.
(NWN; I ‘discern’ that these are seven ‘7’ other great prophecy angels who are ‘confirming’ that NOW IS THE TIME to OPEN DANIEL’S ‘END TIME’ Book of Future Prophecy.’)
4 And when the seven ‘7’ thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven ‘7’ thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(NWN; The Great Prophecy Angel is proclaiming the ‘LAST DAYS or END TIMES’ have come, in no uncertain terms, and that NOW IS THE TIME to reveal prophecy related TO the Last Days or End Times and Tribulation.)
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh ‘7’ angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
(NWN; Seven ‘7’ denotes God’s divine completion to his plan or purpose for this ‘7th’ prophecy angel to commence and complete prophecy related to the Last Days and End Times. Think of the Great Prophecy Angel as a ‘General’ and the ‘7th’ prophecy angel as a Major or Colonel or someone of rank who has been given authority to physically ‘begin something or start something.’)
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open (NWN; notice that the ‘little book’ is OPEN) in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
(NWN; the prophecy angel(s) are HANDING the little book to physically alive men on the earth. In essence, they are handing or ‘transferring’ the ‘little book of prophecy’ to physical men ALIVE on the EARTH during the ‘End Times’ or ‘Last Days.’ God conveys prophecy to Angels who in turn are ‘messengers’ of God’s prophecy to mortal men alive. Angels, throughout the past 6,000 years have been ‘messengers’ for God to mankind.)
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
(NWN; this is a ‘discernment’ on my part. ‘Take it and eat it’ is a spiritual ‘consumption’ of understanding the End Times and God’s related prophecies to go along with ‘signs of the times.’ It takes ‘7’ knowledge, wisdom, obedience, humility, persistence, prayer and the Holy Spirit’ to work prophecy in man’kind. This is a great and wonderful thing, just like a ‘7’ course meal. However, once the prophecies are apparent ‘consumed and understood’ they will be prone to make one sick to the stomach because of what they foretell. Just like eating a ’7’ course meal will likely make you feel like you could explode. God’s UNFILTERD WRATH poured on evil man’kind who refuse Him, and refuse His Son Jesus Christ and His eternal offer of salvation. Seeing prophecy happen and unfold is a wonderful and miraculous thing. Understanding the implications of seeing prophecy unfold, leaves one’s stomach bitter and sour because of the ‘gastrointestinal storm’ that is coming. Pass-the-antacid-pills, please.)
10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(NWN; the prophecy angel was prophesying what would happen to anyone who attempted to reveal what was in the ‘little book.’ This verse ‘confirms’ that what was prophesied, did in fact occur and was experienced by those given the task of being Watchmen. This also ‘suggests’ that some men are ‘willingly’ allowing themselves to be Watchmen because they consciously love prophecy (God’s Word) and are completely open and receptive to it.)
11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
(NWN; since this is verse ‘11’ it suggests a WARNING(S). The purpose of prophecy is to inform, proclaim and WARN. It suggests that the Watchmen who proclaim the Word of God, will have their ‘7’ words, letters, videos, blogs, sermons, articles and books proclaim God’s WILL to those during the End Times / Last Days and Tribulation period. God has ALWAYS used Holy Angels and physical men (Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Enoch, and others) to speak on behalf of God. He will do this also through the Tribulation via; 1. Prophecy revealed to mankind via his ‘little book’ to Watchmen, 2. The ‘two witnesses’, ‘lampstands’ or candles who proclaims God’s light to the world for the first 3.5 years of the tribulation, 3. The various Angel warnings given to men to NOT TAKE THE MARK of the BEAST and lastly, 4. The 144,000 Jewish Evangelists who have the ‘seal of God’ in their foreheads (and NOT the mark of the Beast) who proclaim Jesus Christ’s offer of Salvation ONE LAST TIME, before the 7 year tribulation ends.)
Revelation; Chapter SIX (6), the ‘start’ of the Tribulation when Christ, the Lamb, opens the first seven (7) SEALS of wrath or judgement against evil man’kind (6).
The following is my discernment and teaching. The Apocalypse is a ‘REVEALING’ or showing what is coming. Chapter six is a 70,000 foot view or general recap of the coming seven (7) year tribulation. It starts off with the revealing of the Beast or Antichrist and ends with the Armageddon battle on the Day or our Lord’s Return to Earth, to ‘rule the nations with an iron rod.’
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(Commentary; Christ, the Lamb was the ONLY ONE WORTHY in heaven, to have the authority to ‘open’ the seals and start the tribulation)
Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Commentary; the rider is the ‘beast’ or ‘antichrist’. His being clothed in white suggests ‘3’ false righteousness, false peace and false authority. He has a bow, but no arrows. He rules with lies and threats, but no military or arms. He conquers and subjugates, not with force but with ‘5’ lies, deception, false covenants and false agreements and false promises. He is the world’s greatest ‘political’ leader and deceiver. He is the one who ‘confirms the false covenant of seven years with Jacob’ which starts the tribulation. You should know now of who I speak. His ‘crown’ represents authority, rulership and position. It even literally represents his ‘position’ as Crown Prince, once the tribulation begins. My discernment is that the ‘white horse upon which he sits’ is symbolically a white Arabian stallion.
‘Prophesy, Dreams and Visions’; ‘7’ Supernatural Guidance in the Night Season. God says, ‘7’ ‘COUNT’, ‘COUNT,’ ‘COUNT’ the number of SEVENS (7).
Kendall Laughlin Jr.January 21, 2022
Think ‘7’ of a moment from a significant dream. When ‘7’ you awoke, did it make you emotional? Did ‘7’ it warn you of a coming event? Did it linger throughout the day ‘7’ and then it suddenly came to mind? ‘7’ Could the dream have been from God?
For the ‘7’ last decade, I have given myself over to the ‘7’ study of dreams as a spiritual discipline. Dreams ‘7’ are a source of fascination to me, and ‘7’ the subject seems to follow me around. I ‘7’ have discussed dreams with people on planes, in ‘7’ taxis and Ubers, at the grocery store, at ‘7’ church events and at wedding receptions. I have ‘7’ learned that most people have hidden lives ’7’ in which they explore their biggest questions, ‘7’ feelings and fears—a life of dreams. As I share ‘7’ my findings, I hope you will recognize ‘7’ the diverse ways God speaks through dreams—and the impact ‘7’ these dreams have had on our world.
I have yet ‘7’ to meet a person who hasn’t experienced at ’7’ least one powerful dream during their lifetime. For many ‘7’ people, these experiences are difficult to forget.
I have experienced impactful ‘7’ dreams for all of my adult life. ‘6’ I have often prayed about them, ‘6’ wondering if they were from God. What I didn’t know, however, is that God has been ‘7’ speaking this way all over the world.
‘7’ I have found that in the nations, ‘6’ many people are dreaming divine dreams. Many, ‘7’ like Jacob, awaken from strange, heavenly dreams. ‘7’ They wonder, Is God in this place ‘6’ and I didn’t even know it? (see Gen. 28:16). Scripture ‘7’ is clear in that God is guiding us more than we realize, ‘6’ and He intends our dreams to ‘7’ be a significant means of His guidance.
Speaking to Nations
The year was 2012. I desperately tried to keep my cool in the back of a metal van bumping over the roads in Beirut, Lebanon. My young child was screaming. It had been a long trip already from Los Angeles International, with multiple layovers, late flights and lost luggage.
My family and I were thrown in the back of a van to meet our group at a popular boardwalk area by the sea. A meal and a nap had sounded nice, but we knew getting on the ground would allow us to reconnect with our team, who was beginning a street outreach.
On the streets, the atmosphere was electric. Youth around the nation were crying out for freedom, as anti-government rebellions from the early 2010s took full effect. Syrian refugees were pouring into the nation, desperate for help. And, in the midst of all this, revival loomed. One could feel the region bursting open in a spiritual awakening.
I closed the door to the van, took three steps on the sidewalk, and ‘5’ a Muslim man approached me. ’5’ He had an ominous look, ‘5’ as if he wanted answers.
The man pointed out ‘5’ to the sea’s dark waves ‘5’ and asked a strange question: “Last night, I had a dream that ‘7’ the Prophet Isa walked upon these waters and invited me to join Him. What does it mean?” (Isa ‘7’ is the Muslim word for Jesus Christ). He seemed to think I had some kind of inside ‘7’ knowledge into the meaning of this dream!
That night, we ‘7’ were able to see dozens of people, for the ‘7’ first time, encounter the freedom Jesus offers. ‘6’ People were healed, touched and changed ‘7’ as they searched for answers amid crisis. ‘5’ I just had one problem: All my ‘5’ luggage was lost in Paris.
Finally, after I spent three days ‘5’ in the same black T-shirt, our ‘5’ bags arrived at the airport. I hopped into a taxi, looking forward to some alone time as the taxi traversed through traffic. Eventually, the taxi driver, ‘7’ who knew of my interest in dreams, interrupted me with an abrupt question: ‘6’ “I had a dream recently too. Do you mind ‘6’ if I tell you about it?”
He had dreamed of a long journey. While traveling, he chose to stop at a store and purchase some items for his child’s birthday and an upcoming holiday. The man then decided he wanted a sandwich, so he went to the grocery store, then down a specific aisle.
Hearing the driver’s dream, I felt bored, lost and a tad bit annoyed. Why is this guy sharing ‘7’ this dream with me about grocery shopping? I wondered. Then came the punchline: “In the store … Jesus was there … sitting on a bag of beans!”
Through ‘7’ this dream—and my lost luggage—I was able to share ‘7’ with this man the message of Jesus. Through ‘7’ a dream, God changed his life forever.
‘7’ This dream, and many others like it, have caused me to wonder—is God hiding in our dreams? Do ‘7’ dreams have spiritual keys to life’s passages we might be neglecting? How ‘7’ do we know what our dreams mean? My 10-year journey ‘7’ of studying the spiritual impact of dreams moved me ‘7’ to write my book, The Dream Map.
‘7’ Although dreams may seem mystical and esoteric, they have ‘7’ shaped our world more than we realize. ‘6’ When I began to study dreams, I had a hunch. If God ‘7’ is speaking to people through dreams today, ‘7’ what else is He revealing in dreams? What I ‘7’ found was a surprising web of stories ‘6’about how dreams have impacted history far ‘6’ more than most of us know.
Shaping History
When we ‘7’ have a supernatural encounter or spiritual dream, our first ‘7’ reaction may be to explain it away. ‘6’ We see this in Jesus’ ministry. ‘7’ At one point, God spoke from heaven to a large crowd! The people’s reaction? “The ‘7’ crowd that stood by and heard it ‘5’ said that it had thundered” (John 12:29).
‘6’ Some people could make professions out ‘7’ of ignoring the spiritual aspect of life. Yet I recall ‘7’ housewives, businesspeople, doctors, scientists, laypeople, clergy and government leaders who all report having significant ‘7’ dreams they attributed to divine guidance. I think of the ‘6’ stoner I met in Southern California who, after ‘6’ falling asleep in a drug-induced haze in the ‘6’ parking lot of a 24-hour pharmacy, ‘6’ had a dream of a man he had ‘7’ never seen wearing a crown of thorns.
Dreams from God are possible. We ‘7’ need to acknowledge our skepticism and unbelief in this area. ‘7’ Remember the kinds of people God promised ‘7’ would receive revelation from His Holy Spirit? ‘7’ The young and the old, men and women, the learned and servants (Joel 2:28-29).
I believe ‘7’ one of the ways God has stepped into the ‘7’ course of world history is through dreams. Let’s explore ‘6’ some of the disciplines of study transformed through ‘7’ the dreams of great artists, thinkers and innovators. ‘6’ I do not claim every dream ‘6’ listed below to be divinely inspired (‘6’ that would be impossible to know). After this brief survey, ‘7’ you will find history’s connection with dreams ‘7’ closer than you may have first realized. Dreams have, in ‘7’ fact, shaped the course of world history.
Several leaders in history ‘7’ report prophetic dreams that predicted the future. Abraham Lincoln dreamed of ‘7’ being murdered the night before his assassination. ‘7’ New York attorney Isaac Frauenthal dreamed of ‘7’ a shipwreck before he boarded the Titanic.
Perhaps one of ‘7’ the most influential dreamers in world history was ‘7’ Winston Churchill, who, from an early age, dreamed he would save the ‘7’ United Kingdom and the city of London ‘7’ from the invasion of an evil empire. ‘7’ Biographer Martin Gilbert recently discovered ‘7’ a letter recalling a conversation with Churchill by ‘one ‘7’ of his boyhood friends, Sir Muirland Evans. ‘7’ Evans records Churchill as saying, in part:
‘7’ “I see further ahead than you do. I see into the future. This country will ‘7’ be subjected somehow, to a tremendous invasion, ‘7’ by what means I do not know, but ’6’ I tell you I shall be ‘7’ in command of the defences of London and I ‘7’ shall save London and England from disaster.
[‘7’ After Evans asked if he would be “’7’ a general, in command of the troops“]:
“’7’ I don’t know; dreams of the future are ‘7’ blurred but the main objective is clear. ‘7’ I repeat—London will be in danger and ‘7’ in the high position I shall occupy, ‘6’ it will fall to me to ‘7’ save the Capital and save the Empire.”
If God spoke to ’7’ Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar and Pilate’s wife in dreams, we can be sure ‘7’ He is speaking to world leaders today. ‘7’ My question is this: Who will be ‘7’ available to bring a God-inspired interpretation?
Bringing Inspiration
‘7’ Modern and classical music legends both claim dreams as ‘7’ a source of inspiration for their music. ’7’ The experience totally perplexed the young musician. ‘6’ “For about a month I went ‘7’ round to people in the music business and asked them ‘7’ whether they had ever heard it before,” he said. “Eventually, it became ’7’ like handing something in to the police.’7’ I thought if no one claimed it after a ‘7’ few weeks then I could have it.” To date, “Yesterday” is ‘7’ the most covered song in world history.
‘7’ McCartney must be a dreamer because he ‘7’ has also said he received the inspiration for the ‘7’ song “Let it Be” in a dream. Can ‘7’ you think of two more beautiful pop ‘7’ songs than “Yesterday” and “Let it Be”?
‘6’ Bernard Holland, a national music critic, mentions ‘7’ that Beethoven was known for intense dreams. ‘7’ In The New York Times, Holland reports, ‘6’ “When Beethoven dreamed his piano sonatas, or so ‘7’ one theory goes, he dreamed them on ‘7’ instruments that had not yet been invented.” Amazing! To learn more ‘7’ about how sacred music has been shaped ‘7’ by revelations from God and prophetic dreams,’7’ I suggest the book The Spiritual Lives ‘7’ of the Great Composers by Patrick Kavanaugh (Zondervan, 1996).
‘7’ Although it may seem hard to believe, scientific discoveries ‘7’ often come to the world through dreams. Here’s a short, documented list ‘7’ of historical discoveries that happened through dreams:
‘6’ The Periodic Table of Elements came ‘7’ to chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in a dream after ‘7’ he fell asleep, exhausted from his work on an ‘7’ orderly system of classification for the elements.
‘7’ A Nobel Prize-winning discovery about neurotransmission.
The double helix ‘7’ we now so often associate with DNA came ‘7’ to Dr. James Watson in a dream ’7’ of two snakes intertwined at their heads.
‘7’ Albert Einstein’s youthful dream of sledding down a ‘7’ mountain led to the theory of relativity.
If ‘7’ dreams teach us anything, it may be ‘7’ that there is less of a divide between ‘7’ “secular” pursuits such as science and medicine and ‘7’ our spiritual lives than we often think.
In our century, dreams ‘7’ have inspired seismic shifts in the economy. During ‘7’ a 2009 University of Michigan commencement address, Larry Page, then ‘7’ CEO of Google, shared that the inception of ‘7’ Google came to him in a dream. ‘7’ At the time of this writing, Google has ‘7’ a market value of over $1 trillion. That was quite a dream!
In the 19th century, ‘7’ Elias Howe had a dream that assisted him ‘7’ in his invention of the sewing machine. This ‘7’ dream also had a significant economic impact ‘7’ as it accelerated the industrialization of America.
Building the Church
With dreams ‘7’ having such an impact throughout world history, it should be no ‘7’ surprise to us that the Holy Spirit ‘7’ has been giving dreams to the church as well. The church throughout the ages ‘6’ has explored the power of dreams.
‘7’ Dream interpretation, fortune-telling and idolatry were rampant ‘7’ during the expansion of the early church, and many ‘7’ hucksters touted the ability to interpret dreams. ‘7’ But rather than condemning the early Christians for ‘7’ an interest in dreams, the church fathers ‘7’ during the first, second and third centuries took ‘7’ great pains to explain their biblical nature, seek ‘7’ out what dreams from the Holy Spirit might ‘7’ mean for the believer and even record ‘7’ their own dreams for mass circulation.
‘6’ Nearly every great apologist and theologian ‘7’ of the early church wrote on dreams, including Augustine, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement, Origen, Tertullian, Athanasius and St. John Chrysostom.
‘6’ One church father, Synesius of Cyrene, put it this way: “One ‘7’ man learns …while awake, another while asleep. But in ‘7’ the waking state man is the teacher, whereas it is God who makes ‘7’ the dreamer fruitful with His own courage.”
St. Patrick, St. Francis,
‘7’ Martin Luther and many other important Christians ‘6’ in history experienced guidance in dreams. ‘7’ Although there have been movements throughout history that ‘7’ have sought to discredit divinely inspired dreams, God’s guidance perseveres amid skepticism.
‘7’ God has used dreams to bring freedom. Harriet Tubman, the famed American ‘7’ escaped slave and abolitionist, was a dreamer.‘6’ Tubman had frequent dreams and visions—which she ascribed to God—‘7’ that guided her on her journey of ‘7’ rescuing the lives of many enslaved people along ‘7’ as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. ‘7’ Dreams allowed Tubman to function as a ‘7’ modern-day Moses, rescuing people from enslavement.
Revealing Mysteries
This brief walk ‘7’ through history reveals the power of dreams. What about today? ‘7’ How do we know if a dream is from God?
Although ‘7’ there will always be charlatans and fakes ‘7’ who claim divine revelation for personal gain, we ‘7’ must not discount God’s power to speak in dreams. God is ‘7’ raising up Josephs and Daniels to interpret ‘7’ the dreams of those around them today.
The ‘7’ Holy Spirit will provide us with supernatural intuition ‘6’ as we pray about our dreams. Pharaoh’s ‘7’ intuition told him that the original interpretations of his ‘7’ dreams supplied by his advisers were incorrect. His intuition also told him ‘6’ Joseph’s was the most accurate interpretation.
“For his ‘7’ Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets” (1 Cor. 2:10b, NLT).
As I ‘7’ study the Scriptures and shared life experiences, ‘7’ I see the following truths about dreams given by God. ‘6’ They may prove helpful in determining ‘7’ the source of a dream or dreams:
Dreams from God linger. ‘7’ I often hear the phrase from people, “I never remember my dreams, but I had a dream ‘7’ that I think may be from God,” or “This dream felt different.” Dreams ‘7’ from God have certain, intangible, spiritual qualities. ‘7’ Dr. David Benner writes that the “vividness ‘7’ of these dreams often lasts a lifetime.”
Dreams ‘7’ from God may have a divine messenger. ‘7’ Scriptural dreams often record a divine messenger sent ‘7’ to the dreamer for a specific purpose.
Dreams ‘7’ from God may have overt scriptural themes or language. ‘7’ The presence of an obvious scriptural theme or ‘7’ symbol indicates a dream is from God, because Scripture will always ‘7’ affirm what God is saying to us.
‘7’ Dreams from God may cause you to ‘7’ wake up in the presence of God. ‘6’ I think of Paul, who experienced ‘7’ the Lord’s presence and encouragement at night (Acts 23:11). Many people report waking ‘7’ up with a sense of peace, excitement or ‘7’ awe after a prophetic dream from God.
Dreams from ‘7’ God contain predictions that come to pass. In Deuteronomy 18, ‘7’ we learn that true prophets will have ‘7’ predictions and dreams that come to pass. If your ‘7’ dream predicts a personal or world event, ‘6’ and that event comes to pass, there is a ‘7’ high probability the dream has a divine message.
‘7’ Dreams from God pass the PEACE test. Even in tough circumstances, God promises ‘7’ to lead His people forth in peace (Isa. 55:12). Peace is the indicator that ‘7’ we are receiving divine guidance from God, ‘7’ especially if peace is present in a ‘7’ situation that should not otherwise be peaceful.
‘7’ I use the acronym PEACE to describe ‘7’ what God’s voice sounds like to me:
Points us to Jesus (Rev. 19:11).
‘7’ Encourages us with faith, hope and love (1 Cor. 1-14).
Agrees with the Scriptures (John 10:35).
Confirmed by community (1 Cor. 14:29).
Empowers life change (Rom. 12:1-2).

Six ‘6’ denotes a ‘man’ or ‘human kind.’ Routinely, I use ‘6’ in the context of an Evil Man. Do not be confused, six can ‘6’ – ‘7’ also mean a ‘regular’ man before God.
‘6’ Here is my teaching regarding 666.
Paul Rolland, Night Watchman, Night Watchman Ministries
666
The infamous, “Mark of the Beast” and “number of his name is 666” imagery is no different than any of the other generalized, descriptive terms that John the Apostle used, while in his banishment on the Isle of Patmos. Rev. 13:17-18 is probably the most symbolic, well known and most poorly understood two verses in the book of Revelation, and in the entire Bible. “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred, threescore and six (666).” (Emphasis added). Several things should jump out at you as you read this.
A person can’t buy or sell (they can’t conduct any financial transactions… buy groceries, take a trip, pay their Mortgage or rent, operate business, buy a vehicle, make a sale, make a purchase, etc.).
In order to be able to do (1.), they have to have a special “Mark” or identification and number in order to participate in the global economy. This almost sounds like a credit card number or a routing / account number for a checking account. (This is a clue!).
This “Mark” or identification of the beast (worldwide system and leader) is described as being the beast’s “name” and his “number”. These are two extremely important distinctions in global, electronic transaction technology of today. Rev. 13:16, interestingly indicates that this special “Mark” or identification is somehow represented on people, either in their forehead or right hand. This is odd, very odd symbolism, or is it?
Another interesting detail is that the number is mentioned as that of belonging to ‘man’.
The number of man, is given as 666.
The last, and final detail suggests that in order to understand the evilness of number 666, a person should “count.”
At this point, I will attempt to explain what the number of the beast represents, what the number 666 means, who the ‘man’ is that is being referred to, what the ‘Mark’ or identification means … in a way, that will hopefully make relatively simple sense to people of today. Please note, that there are six (6) points made in the two verses of Rev. 13:17-18). File my brief comment into the back of your memory for a little while, and then come back to this after you have had a chance to learn what the number six (6) represents and implies! Sixfold (6) denotes imperfection, something not normal, monstrous, evil, something that is short of the glory and perfection of God. This number represents a lesser amount than God’s perfect number seven (7). Anything less than God’s perfection is imperfection. Six (6) is imperfection and is one (1) less than Seven (7) which is perfection. (7-1=6). (A-B=C). (6<7).
The Number of a Man:
Verse 13:18 clearly states that 666 is a number of a man … not a number of an angel, not a number of Satan (which is ‘5’), Devil, serpent or dragon, nor of any kind of reference to Babylon (city) or Mystery Babylon (false religion). The reference is literally to man (mankind), the beast/antichrist (a literal, physical man) and the false prophet (a literal, physical man). Each of them is judged to be extremely evil and each is therefore assigned a number of six (6) to represent the imperfection, sinfulness and evilness of man, before God. Combining the number of each type of man leads to 666, this number represents the totality of evil, of the three men. The number three (3) denotes intensity and emphasis. The fact that the number six (6) is repeated three (3) times emphasizes the most intense evil that mankind, antichrist, and the false prophet collectively possess during the tribulation period. Evil doesn’t come any worse, or more intensely than this. Period. When the bible states an important reference to someone or something, the word of God is very specific and literal. There should be no confusion. To understand why the number six (6) represents evil, Verse 13:18 tells us to “count” his number. When we read all of Revelation, we can literally “count” (using your fingers, toes, abacus, etch-a-sketch, smart ‘tablet’, smart ‘phone’, spreadsheet or notepad and pen) the number of sins or evil actions conducted by all of evil mankind, of the beast/antichrist and of the false prophet. Their evil footprints leave an evil, smelly trail in the mud and muck of the world that can very easily be sniffed out, followed and counted. Are you excited to be a bloodhound and to begin sniffing out the clues!?
I will start out explaining the mathematics of evil, using very simple elementary school ‘easy math’! (I promise!!!)
Let’s revisit the fact that evil is represented by the number six (6). And that there are three men (man) referenced as being intensely evil; mankind / the beast-antichrist / the false prophet. Each man is assigned the number six (6). The fact that there are three (3) men denotes God’s emphasis and intensity. Since there are three (3) men, there will be three, six’s (6). God’s mathematics not only have numerical values but also descriptive values. God’s mathematics not only express statistical truth, but also sequential, logical and descriptive truth. This is truth within truth, layer within layer, meaning within meaning.
Evil mankind (6) + evil beast/antichrist (6) + evil false prophet (6) = 666 (a literal number represented by the number 6, repeated three times in a linear row.)
“Count.”
By using the three linear, sequential numbers of six (6) “666”, we can calculate some information about evil during the Tribulation period. Remember, one of the six (6) points made in Rev. 13:17-18 was to “count.” This is a very literal suggestion!
Matthew 24:42; Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew 25:13; Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:35; Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning.
Luke 21:36; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man
Luke 12:37-39; Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
