I was not sure where to post this, but I think this area will do.
I know in Rev. it says the old shall have dreams and the young shall have visions...or something like that.....
I met a guy at church this weekend who said he had a vision. He had been praying big time with his prayer group, and just by himself on whether or not he should quit his current job in construction. And he went on to tell me that he was laying in bed one night, not even asleep and had a vision that he was working in a piece of machinery at his current job, and all of a sudden realized that the rapture was happening, because he was above his constuction equipment, and everyone working around him was wondering where he went so fastly, because the thing he was moving in his machinery was still swinging back and forth.... He took this as a sign from God to stay put because the Rapture would be a testimony to his unsaved coworkers.
First of all this kind of bothered me, because doesn't it say in the Bible that we are not supposed to pressume or try to determine when Christ will return?
Is it possible that God still uses dreams and visions in this day and age to speak through us? I thought that now that we have the Holy Spirit that was no longer needed....
I have had some pretty psycho dreams about the Rapture throughout my years, some where I am left behind, and some where I am raptured....the left behind ones freak me out because is makes me question my faith.
I took this guys dream to kind of mean that maybe God does want him to leave his current job...and find a new one....and that his coworkers would miss the fellowship and openess and love of God that he shares amongest them, but I did not say anything.
Does anyone here have any opinions to this? Am I in the right area of this forum?
