  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

8 can symbolize new beginnings & 7 is the seal of God - the mark of God.

Do you see/sense anything new beginning in your church, some kind of new move of God?

Are you researching or thinking about the rapture at the moment?

Approx how many people are in your church?

Have you done a web search on the number? I often find that these quirky clues have rich depth when researched.

(I would have immediately jumped to 15, and lost sight of the vision.)

The types of things that come up...

William Barkely discovered the Strait of Juan de Fuca, in '87. (1787)

Tennessee Route 87 is close to the current flooding of the Mississippi (and the New Madrid fault with loose soil base).

A Klingon actor died at the age of 87 last week.

Do you believe in praying in tongues? Ask God to pray through you for whatever is on His mind. Sometimes when you do this, a hint of what it was about will come to you, and you realize you didn't really need to know -- you just needed to pray.

I was sitting in church, and I remember the number 87.

I can't remember if it was part of the dream or if 87 people disappeared from the church mysteriously or I just came to that conclusion in my dream..
Sitting in church has some connotations. You were safely tucked into a trusted social setting, and nothing visible was going on. (Unless it was.)
The next thing you knew, people were gone and you lacked information and control over it. It was too late to do anything about it.

Reflect on whether there are some situations you might be able to impact, when it seems sufficient to rest in a comfortable place. (It couldn't hurt.)

good input ... 3 (of God) + 4 (of the world) = 7 ... Spiritual completeness ...

for some reason I immediately though of Psalm 87 ...

here it is ... it's short ...

Psalm 87
the glories of Zion

His foundation is in the holy mountains.
The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more
than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of thee,
O city of God. Selah

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon
to them that know me:
behold Philistian, and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
this man was born there.
And of Zion it shall be said,
This and that man was born in her.
The Lord shall count, when he writeth up
the people,
that this man was born there.

As well the singers as the players on instru-
ments shall be there:
all my springs are in thee.

it crossed my mind about the rapture, also ... also, maybe check your hymn book at church and see what hymn 87 is ...
