Join Our Sabbath Meetings

There are many people in need of fellowship and who are sitting at home on the Sabbath with no one to talk to or debate with. I want to encourage all of you to join us on Shabbat, and to invite others to come and join us as well. If the time is not convenient then you can listen to the teaching and the midrash after on our YouTube channel.

What are we doing and why do we teach this way?

We are going to discuss both sides of an issue and then let you choose. It is the work of the Ruach (Spirit) to direct and to teach you.

The medieval commentator Rashi wrote that the Hebrew word for wrestle (avek) implies that Jacob was “tied”, for the same word is used to describe knotted fringes in a Jewish prayer shawl, the tzitzityot. Rashi says, “thus is the manner of two people who struggle to overthrow each other, that one embraces the other and knots him with his arms”.

Our intellectual wrestling has been replaced by a different kind of struggle. We are Wrestling with Yehovah as we grapple with His Word. It is an intimate act, symbolizing a relationship in which Yehovah and I and you are bound together. My wrestling is a struggle to discover what Yehovah expects of us, and we are “tied” to the One who assists us in that struggle.

Today, many say Israel means “Champion of God”, or better — the “Wrestler of God”.

Our Torah sessions each Shabbat teaches you and encourages you to constantly challenge, question, argue against, as well as view alternative views and explanations of the Word. In other words, we are to “wrestle with the Word” to get to the truth. Jews worldwide believe that you need to wrestle with the Word and constantly challenge Dogma, Theology, and views or else you will never get to the Truth.

We are not like most churches where “The preacher talks and everyone listens.” We encourage everyone to participate, to question and to contribute what they know on the subject being discussed. We want you to be a champion wrestler of the Word of Yehovah. We want you to wear the title of Israel, knowing that you not only know but are capable of explaining why you know the Torah to be true with logic and facts.

We have a few rules though. Let others talk and listen. There is no discussion about UFO’s Nephilim, Vaccines or conspiracy-type subjects. We have people from around the world with different world views. Not everyone cares who is the President of any particular country. Treat each other with respect as Fellow wrestlers of the word. Some of our subjects are hard to understand and require you to be mature and if you do not know, then listen to gain knowledge and understanding and hopefully wisdom. The very things you are commanded to ask Yehovah for and He gives to those who ask.

Jas 1:5  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

We hope you can invite those who want to keep Torah to come and join us by hitting the link below. It is almost like a Torah teaching fellowship talk show with people from around the world taking part and sharing their insights and understandings.

We start off with some music and then some prayers and it’s as though you were sitting around the kitchen back in Newfoundland having a cup of coffee and all of us enjoying each other’s company. I hope you will grace us with your company someday.

Sabbath services begin at 12:30 PM EDT where we will be doing prayers songs and teaching from this hour.

Shabbat Services will begin at about 1:15 pm Eastern.

We look forward to you joining our family and getting to know us as we get to know you.

Biblical Dreams

What does the Bible say about dreams and should we pay attention to them? I had not realized there were so many recorded for us in the Bible. I have recorded 47 of them for you. Make sure you read until the end.

1) The first mention of Yehovah coming in a vision was to Abraham during which Yehovah makes a covenant with Him.

Gen 15:1 After these things the Word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your shield and your exceeding great reward.

Gen 15:2 And Abram said, Lord God, what will You give me, since I am going childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

Gen 15:3 And Abram said, Behold, You have given no seed to me. And behold, one born in my house is my heir.

Gen 15:4 And behold, the Word of Jehovah came to him saying, This one shall not be your heir. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir.

Gen 15:5 And He brought him outside and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.

Gen 15:6 And he believed in Jehovah. And He counted it to him for righteousness.

Gen 15:7 And He said to him, I am Jehovah that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.

Gen 15:8 And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?

Gen 15:9 And He said to him, Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

Gen 15:10 And he took all these to himself, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece against one another; but he did not divide the birds.

Gen 15:11 And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

Gen 15:12 And it happened as the sun was setting, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him!

Gen 15:13 And He said to Abram, You must surely know that your seed shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, and shall serve them. And they shall afflict them four hundred years.

Gen 15:14 And also I will judge that nation whom they shall serve. And afterward they shall come out with great substance.

Gen 15:15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in a good old age.

Gen 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

Gen 15:17 And it happened, the sun went down, and it was dark and behold, a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp passed between those pieces.

Gen 15:18 In the same day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

Gen 15:19 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

Gen 15:20 and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the giants,

Gen 15:21 and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

2) Yehovah also warned Abimelech in a dream not to touch Sarah.

Abraham and Abimelech

Gen 20:1  And Abraham moved from there toward the south country, and lived between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar.

Gen 20:2  And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech the king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

Gen 20:3  But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.

Gen 20:4  But Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will You also kill a righteous nation?

Gen 20:5  Did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the sincerity of my heart and innocency of my hands I have done this.

Gen 20:6  And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.

Gen 20:7  Now therefore, restore his wife to the man. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.

Gen 20:8  And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears. And the men were greatly afraid.

Gen 20:9  Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What have you done to us? In what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

Gen 20:10  And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?

Gen 20:11  And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife’s sake.

Gen 20:12  And yet truly she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

Gen 20:13  And it happened when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you show to me, at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

Gen 20:14  And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham. And he restored him Sarah his wife.

Gen 20:15  And Abimelech said, Behold, my land isbefore you. Live where it pleases you.

Gen 20:16  And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, he isto you a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you, and with all this, you are reproved.

Gen 20:17  And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his slave women, and they gave birth.

Gen 20:18  For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

3) After this, Jacob had a dream of angels climbing the ladder into heaven.

Jacob’s Dream

Gen 28:10  And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran.

Gen 28:11  And he came on a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took of the stones of that place, and placed them at his head. And he lay down in that place to sleep.

Gen 28:12  And he dreamed. And behold! A ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven! And behold! The angels of God wereascending and descending on it!

Gen 28:13  And behold! Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac! The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your seed.

Gen 28:14  And your seed shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. And in you and in your Seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Gen 28:15  And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in every place where you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.

Gen 28:16  And Jacob awakened from his sleep. And he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not know.

Gen 28:17  And he was afraid, and said, How fearful isthis place! This is nothing but the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!

Gen 28:18  And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone which he had put at his head, and set it as a memorial pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.

Gen 28:19  And he called the name of that place The House of God. But the name of that city was Luz at first.

Gen 28:20  And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

Gen 28:21  and I come again to my father’s house in peace, then shall Jehovah be my God.

Gen 28:22  And this stone which I have set for a pillar shall be God’s house. And of all that You shall give me, I will surely give the tenth to You.

4) We next have in Genesis the dreams of Joseph and others to which Joseph explains those dreams.

Joseph’s Dreams

Gen 37:1 And Jacob lived in the land of the travels of his father, in the land of Canaan.

Gen 37:2 These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen years, came tending the flock with his brothers. And he was a youth with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them.

Gen 37:3 And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a tunic reaching to the soles of his feet.

Gen 37:4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

Gen 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream and told it to his brothers. And they hated him still more.

Gen 37:6 And he said to them, I pray you, Hear this dream which I have dreamed.

Gen 37:7 For behold! We were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And behold, your sheaves stood around and bowed down to my sheaf.

Gen 37:8 And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have the rule over us? And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.

Gen 37:9 And he dreamed still another dream, and told it to his brothers. And he said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream. And behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.

Gen 37:10 And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, What isthis dream that you have dreamed? Shall I, and your mother, and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the earth before you?

Gen 37:11 And his brothers were jealous of him. But his father observed the saying.

5)

Joseph Interprets Two Prisoners’ Dreams

Gen 40:1 And after these things it happened that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt, and his baker, had offended their lord the king of Egypt.

Gen 40:2 And Pharaoh was angry against two of his eunuchs, against the chief of the cupbearers and against the chief of the bakers.

Gen 40:3 And he put them under guard in the house of the chief of the executioners, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

Gen 40:4 And the chief of the executioners charged Joseph with them, and he served them. And they continued for a time under guard.

Gen 40:5 And they dreamed a dream, both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

Gen 40:6 And Joseph came in to them in the morning, and looked upon them, and behold, they were sad.

Gen 40:7 And he asked Pharaoh’s eunuchs who werewith him under guard in his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces sad today?

Gen 40:8 And they said to him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Now tell it to me.

Gen 40:9 And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me.

Gen 40:10 And in the vine were three branches. And it was as if it budded, and its blossom shot up. And the clusters of it brought forth ripe grapes.

Gen 40:11 And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand. And I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

Gen 40:12 And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it. The three branches are three days.

Gen 40:13 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head and restore you to your place. And you shall deliver Pharaoh’s cup into his hand, just as you did when you were his cupbearer.

Gen 40:14 But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

Gen 40:15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.

Gen 40:16 When the chief baker saw the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and three baskets of white bread were on my head.

Gen 40:17 And in the top basket were all kinds of baked foods for Pharaoh. And the birds ate them out of the basket upon my head.

Gen 40:18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation of it. The three baskets are three days.

Gen 40:19 Yet within three days Pharaoh shall lift up your head from off you, and shall hang you on a tree. And the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.

Gen 40:20 And it happened on the third day, Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast to all his servants. And he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer, and of the chief baker, among his servants.

Gen 40:21 And he restored the chief cupbearer back into his cupbearer office again. And he gave the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

Gen 40:22 But he hanged the chief baker, even as Joseph had interpreted to them.

Gen 40:23 Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

6)

Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’s Dreams

Gen 41:1 And it happened at the end of two years of days, Pharaoh dreamed. And behold, he stood by the river.

Gen 41:2 And behold! There came up out of the river seven cows beautiful of form, and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds!

Gen 41:3 And behold! Seven other cows came up after them out of the river, evil in appearance, and lean of flesh! And they stood by the other cows on the river bank.

Gen 41:4 And the evil-appearing and lean-fleshed cows ate up the seven beautifully formed and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

Gen 41:5 And he slept and dreamed the second time. And behold! Seven ears of grain came up on one stock, fat and good!

Gen 41:6 And behold! Seven thin ears, and blasted with the east wind, sprang up after them!

Gen 41:7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven fat and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

Gen 41:8 And it happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men of it. And Pharaoh told them his dream, but there was none who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, I remember my sin this day.

Gen 41:10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me under guard in the chief of the executioner’s house, me and the chief baker.

Gen 41:11 And we dreamed a dream one night, he and I. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

Gen 41:12 And there was there with us a young man, a Hebrew, a slave to the chief of the executioners. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams to us. He interpreted to each man according to his dream.

Gen 41:13 And it happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.

Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph. And they hurried him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and none can interpret it. And I have heard it about you, saying, you can understand a dream to interpret it.

Gen 41:16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Not I. God shall answer the welfare of Pharaoh.

Gen 41:17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, In my dream, behold! I stood upon the bank of the river.

Gen 41:18 And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, beautiful in appearance and fat of flesh. And they fed in the reeds.

Gen 41:19 And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and evil of appearance, and lean of flesh, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness.

Gen 41:20 And the lean and the evil-appearing cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

Gen 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be seen that they had eaten them; but they werestill evil of appearance, as at the beginning. And I awoke.

Gen 41:22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven ears came up in one stock, full and good.

Gen 41:23 And behold, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted by the east wind, sprang up after them.

Gen 41:24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was none that could open it to me.

Gen 41:25 And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

Gen 41:26 The seven good cows are seven years. And the seven good ears are seven years. The dream isone.

Gen 41:27 And the seven thin and evil-appearing cows that came up after them are seven years. And the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

Gen 41:28 This is the thing which God has spoken to Pharaoh; what God is about to do, He shows to Pharaoh.

Gen 41:29 Behold, there are coming seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine. And all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.

Gen 41:31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land because of the famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

Gen 41:32 And since the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice, it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

Gen 41:33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a man who is discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

Gen 41:34 Let Pharaoh act, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

Gen 41:35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

Gen 41:36 That food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt, so that the land does not perish through the famine.

7) Yehovah spoke to Jacob in a dream, telling him to go down to Egypt.

Joseph Brings His Family to Egypt

Gen 46:1  And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

Gen 46:2  And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here I am.

Gen 46:3  And He said, I am God, the God of your fathers. Do not fear to go down into Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation.

Gen 46:4  I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again. And Joseph shall put his hand on your eyes.

Gen 46:5  And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba. And the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

Gen 46:6  And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him.

Gen 46:7  His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed, he brought with him into Egypt.

8) Eliphaz claimed to have had a dream from God in order to give his words more authority.

Eliphaz Speaks: The Innocent Prosper

Job 4:1  And Eliphaz the Temanite answered:

Job 4:2  Shall one try a word with you, you who are weary? But who can hold back with words?

Job 4:3  Behold, you have instructed many, and you have made the weak hands strong.

Job 4:4  Your words have upheld him who was falling, and you have made strong the feeble knees.

Job 4:5  But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.

Job 4:6  Is not your reverence your hope? Is not your hope the uprightness of your ways?

Job 4:7  Remember, please, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?

Job 4:8  As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.

Job 4:9  By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of His nostrils they are destroyed.

Job 4:10  The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

Job 4:11  The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the strong lion’s cubs are scattered abroad.

Job 4:12  And a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little of it.

Job 4:13  In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men,

Job 4:14  fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

Job 4:15  And a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

Job 4:16  It stood still, but I could not tell the form of it. An image was before my eyes; silence; then I heard a voice,

Job 4:17  Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

Job 4:18  Behold, He puts no trust in His servants, and His angels He charges with folly!

Job 4:19  How much less in those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

Job 4:20  They are destroyed from morning till evening; they perish forever without anyone caring.

Job 4:21  Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.

9) Gideon heard two Midianites talking about the dream they had, which Gideon interpreted to be from Yehovah and it encouraged him to attack.

Gideon’s Three Hundred Men

Jdg 7:1 And Jerubbaal (he is Gideon) and all the people that were with him, rose up early and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the army of the Midianites was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

Jdg 7:2 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel boast themselves against Me, saying, My own hand has saved me.

Jdg 7:3 Now, therefore, speak in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and go away early from Mount Gilead. And twenty-two thousand of the people returned. And there remained ten thousand.

Jdg 7:4 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and I will separate them for you there. It shall be that of whom I say to you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you. And of whomever I say to you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.

Jdg 7:5 And he brought down the people to the water. And Jehovah said to Gideon, Everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set him apart; also everyone who bows down upon his knees to drink.

Jdg 7:6 And the number of them who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men. But all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

Jdg 7:7 And Jehovah said to Gideon, I will save you by the three hundred men who lapped, and will deliver the Midianites into your hand. And let all the other people go, each man to his place.

Jdg 7:8 And the people took provisions in their hand, and their ram’s horns. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, each man to his tent, and kept those three hundred men. And the army of Midian was below him in the valley.

Jdg 7:9 And it happened on that night, Jehovah said to him, Arise, go down to the army, for I have delivered it into your hand.

Jdg 7:10 But if you fear to go down, go with Phurah your servant down to the army.

Jdg 7:11 And you shall hear what they shall say. And afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down to the army. Then he went down with Phurah his servant to the edge of the ranks in the army.

Jdg 7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites, and all the sons of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude, and their camels without number, like the sand by the seaside for multitude.

Jdg 7:13 And when Gideon had come, behold, a man told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and struck it so that it fell, and overturned it, so that the tent lay along.

Jdg 7:14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else except the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. For into his hand God has delivered Midian and all the army.

Jdg 7:15 And it happened, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and the meaning of it, he worshiped. And he returned to the army of Israel, and said, Arise! For Jehovah has delivered the host of Midian into your hand.

Jdg 7:16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies. And he put a ram’s horn in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers.

Jdg 7:17 And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise. And, behold, when I come to the edge of the camp, it shall be, as I do, so you shall do.

Jdg 7:18 When I blow with a ram’s horn, I and all who are with me, then you blow the ram’s horns also on every side of all the camp, and shout, For Jehovah and for Gideon!

10) Samuel was established as a prophet by the dreams in which Yehovah spoke to him.

The Lord Calls Samuel

1Sa 3:1 And the child Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the Word of Jehovah was rare in those days. There was no open vision.

1Sa 3:2 And it happened at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes began to become dim so that he could not see.

1Sa 3:3 And the lamp of God had not gone out. And Samuel was lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was.

1Sa 3:4 And Jehovah called Samuel. And he answered, Here am I.

1Sa 3:5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I. For you called me. And he said, I did not call. Go and lie down again. And he went to lie down.

1Sa 3:6 And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I, for you called me. And he answered, I did not call, my son. Go back, lie down.

1Sa 3:7 And Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, and the Word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him.

1Sa 3:8 And Jehovah called Samuel again, the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, Here am I, for you called me. And Eli saw that Jehovah had called the child.

1Sa 3:9 And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if One calls you, you shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for Your servant hears. And Samuel went to lie down in his place.

1Sa 3:10 And Jehovah came and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel! Then Samuel answered, Speak, for Your servant hears.

1Sa 3:11 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel at which both the ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

1Sa 3:12 In that day I will confirm to Eli all that which I have spoken as to his house, beginning and making an end.

1Sa 3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile and he did not restrain them.

1Sa 3:14 And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering forever.

1Sa 3:15 And Samuel lay until morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

1Sa 3:16 And Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

1Sa 3:17 And he said, What is the word which He has said to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide a thing from me of all the words that He said to you.

1Sa 3:18 And Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah; let Him do what seems good to Him.

1Sa 3:19 And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

1Sa 3:20 And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Jehovah.

1Sa 3:21 And Jehovah appeared again in Shiloh. For Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the Word of Jehovah.

11) Yehovah spoke through Nathn by Vision to David.

The Lord’s Covenant with David

2Sa 7:1  And it happened when the king dwelt in his house, and when Jehovah had given him rest round about from all his enemies,

2Sa 7:2  the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.

2Sa 7:3  And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart, for Jehovah is with you.

2Sa 7:4  And that night the Word of Jehovah came to Nathan saying,

2Sa 7:5  Go and tell My servant David, So says Jehovah, Shall you build Me a house for My dwelling?

2Sa 7:6  For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the sons of Israel out of Egypt until this day, but have walked in a tent, even in a tabernacle.

2Sa 7:7  In all places in which I have walked with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, those I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying, Why do you not build Me a house of cedars?

2Sa 7:8  And now so shall you say to My servant David, So says Jehovah of Hosts: I took you from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

2Sa 7:9  And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name like the name of the great ones in the earth.

2Sa 7:10  And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more. Neither shall the sons of wickedness afflict them any more, as before.

2Sa 7:11  And even from the time that I commanded judges to be over My people of Israel, so will I cause you to rest from all your enemies. Also Jehovah tells you that He will make you a house.

2Sa 7:12  And when your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall come out of your bowels. And I will make his kingdom sure.

2Sa 7:13  He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

2Sa 7:14  I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men.

2Sa 7:15  But My mercy shall not leave him, as I took itfrom Saul, whom I put away before you.

2Sa 7:16  And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall beestablished forever.

2Sa 7:17  According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

12) Solomon had a dream that came from Yehovah.

Solomon’s Prayer for Wisdom

1Ki 3:1  And Solomon made an alliance by marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh’s daughter and brought her into the city of David until he finished building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall around Jerusalem.

1Ki 3:2  Only the people sacrificed in high places because there was no house built to the name of Jehovah until those days.

1Ki 3:3  And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of David his father. Only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

1Ki 3:4  And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there. For that was the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

1Ki 3:5  In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, Ask what I shall give you!

1Ki 3:6  And Solomon said, You have shown to Your servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before You in truth and in righteousness and in uprightness of heart with You. And You have kept this great kindness for him, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.

1Ki 3:7  And now, O Jehovah my God, You have made Your servant king instead of David my father. And I ama little child; I do not know to go out or come in!

1Ki 3:8  And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a numerous people who cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

1Ki 3:9  And give to Your servant an understanding heart, to judge Your people, to discern between good and bad. For who is able to judge this, Your great people?

1Ki 3:10  And the word was good in the eyes of Jehovah, that Solomon had asked this thing.

1Ki 3:11  And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, and have not asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to judge justly,

1Ki 3:12  behold, I have done according to your words. Lo, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart, so that there was none like you before you, and after you none shall arise like you.

1Ki 3:13  And I also have given you that which you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like you all your days.

1Ki 3:14  And if you will walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.

1Ki 3:15  And Solomon awoke, and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

13) Isaiah was taken into heaven in a vision where he received his commission. Many of his prophecies were by vision as shown to us in verse 1.

Isa 1:1  The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord

Isa 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

Isa 6:2 Above it stood the seraphs; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

Isa 6:3 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory.

Isa 6:4 And the doorposts moved at the voice of the one who cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isa 6:5 Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone; for I ama man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.

Isa 6:6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, snatched with tongs from the altar.

Isa 6:7 And he laid it on my mouth and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.

Isaiah’s Commission from the Lord

Isa 6:8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me!

Isa 6:9 And He said, Go, and tell this people, You hear indeed, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not know.

Isa 6:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed.

Isa 6:11 Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities are wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land laid waste, a desolation,

Isa 6:12 and until Jehovah has moved men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

Isa 6:13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak being felled, yet has its stump; the holy seed is its stump.

14) Ezekiel had several visions from Yehovah.

Ezekiel in Babylon

Ezk 1:1 And it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

Ezk 1:2 On the fifth of the month, the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity,

Ezk 1:3 Coming the Word of Jehovah became known to Ezekiel, the son of Buzi, the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar. And the hand of Jehovah was on him there.

The Glory of the Lord

Ezk 1:4 And I looked, and behold, a windstorm came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire flashing itself, and a brightness to it all around, and out of its midst, like the color of polished bronze out of the middle of the fire.

Ezk 1:5 Also out of its midst came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was how they looked; they had the likeness of a man.

Ezk 1:6 And four faces were to each, and four wings to each.

Ezk 1:7 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like the color of burnished copper.

Ezk 1:8 And the hands of a man extended from under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them hadtheir faces and their wings,

Ezk 1:9 joining each one to the other by their wings. They did not turn in their going; each one went toward the front of their face.

Ezk 1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side to the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side to the four of them; and the face of an eagle to the four of them.

Ezk 1:11 So their faces were. And their wings werestretched upward; to each, the two wings of each one were joined; and two wings covered their bodies.

Ezk 1:12 And each went toward the front of their faces. To where the spirit was to go, there they went; they did not turn in their going.

Ezk 1:13 And the likeness of the living creatures: they looked like burning coals of fire; like the appearance of torches. It was continually circling among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

Ezk 1:14 And the living creatures kept running and returning, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

Ezk 1:15 And as I looked at the living creatures, behold, one wheel was on the earth by the living creatures, with its four faces.

Ezk 1:16 The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was the color of beryl, and the four of them had one likeness. And their appearance and their workmanship was like a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

Ezk 1:17 When they went, they went on their four sides; and they did not turn when they went.

Ezk 1:18 And their rims: they were even high; they were even awesome. And their rims were full of eyes all around the four of them.

Ezk 1:19 And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels went beside them; and in the lifting up of the living creatures from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

Ezk 1:20 Wherever the spirit was to go, there they went; there the spirit was to go, and the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Ezk 1:21 In their going, these went; and in their standing still, these stood still. And in their lifting up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them. For the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

Ezk 1:22 And there was a likeness over the heads of the living creature; an expanse, like the color of awesome crystal stretched out over their heads from above.

Ezk 1:23 And under the expanse their wings werestraight, the one toward the other. Each one had two wings covering on this side, and to each two covering on that side of their bodies.

Ezk 1:24 And I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, in their going was the sound of tumult, like the sound of an army. In their standing still, they let down their wings.

Ezk 1:25 And there was a voice from the expanse which was over their heads, in their standing still, and they let down their wings.

Ezk 1:26 And from above the expanse that was over their heads was a likeness like a sapphire stone, the likeness of a throne. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness looking like a man on it from above.

Ezk 1:27 And I saw Him looking like the color of polished bronze, looking like fire all around within it. From the likeness of His loins even upward, and from the likeness of His loins even downward, I saw Him, looking like fire, and it had brightness all around.

Ezk 1:28 As the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain looks, so the brightness all around looked. This was how the likeness of the glory of Jehovah looked. And I saw. And I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

15) Yehovah spoke again to Ezekiel by a vision.

Abominations in the Temple

Ezk 8:1 And it was in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth of the month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me. And the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell on me there.

Ezk 8:2 And I looked, and behold! A likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of His loins and downward, like fire. And from His loins and upward as the appearance of brightness, like the color of polished bronze.

Ezk 8:3 And He put out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head. And the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the opening of the inner gate facing north, where there was a seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

Ezk 8:4 And, behold! The glory of the God of Israel wasthere, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

Ezk 8:5 And He said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now to the way of the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward at the gate of the altar the image of jealousy was at the entrance.

Ezk 8:6 And He said to me, Son of man, do you see what they do; even the great abominations which the house of Israel is doing here, that I should go far off from My sanctuary? But turn again, and you shall see greater abominations.

Ezk 8:7 And He brought me to the opening of the court; and I looked, and behold, a hole in the wall.

Ezk 8:8 And He said to me, Son of man, dig in the wall now. And I dug in the wall, and, behold, an opening.

Ezk 8:9 And he said to me. Go in and see the evil abominations that they do here.

Ezk 8:10 And I went in and saw. And behold, every kind of creeping thing, and hateful beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around.

Ezk 8:11 And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, standing among them, these were before them, and each man with his censor in his hand. And the odor of the cloud of incense was rising.

Ezk 8:12 And He said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, each man in his image room? For they are saying, Jehovah does not see us; Jehovah has forsaken the earth.

Ezk 8:13 He also said to me, You turn again, and you shall see greater evils that they are doing.

Ezk 8:14 And He brought me to the opening of the gate of Jehovah’s house, toward the north. And behold, women were sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.

Ezk 8:15 And He said to me, Have you seen, O son of man? Turn yet again, and you shall see greater evils than these.

Ezk 8:16 And He brought me into the inner court of Jehovah’s house, and behold, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah and their faces toward the east; and they bowed themselves eastward to the sun.

Ezk 8:17 And He said to me, Have you seen, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they do the hateful things which they do here? For they have filled the land with violence and have turned to provoke Me to anger. And lo, they put the branch to their nose.

Ezk 8:18 And I will also deal with fury; My eye shall not spare, nor will I have pity. And though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.

16) Ezekiel again has a vision and speaks to Israel in exile.

Israel’s New Heart and Spirit

Ezk 11:14 Again the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Ezk 11:15 Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel, all that have heard the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying to all of them, Go far away from Jehovah; this land is given to us for a possession.

Ezk 11:16 Therefore say, So says the Lord Jehovah: Though I have sent them far off among the nations, and though I scattered them among the lands, yet I will be to them as a little sanctuary in the lands where they had gone.

Ezk 11:17 Therefore say, So says the Lord Jehovah: I will even gather you from the people and assemble you out of the lands, in those where you were scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

Ezk 11:18 And they shall come there, and they shall take away all its hateful things and all its abominations from it.

Ezk 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,

Ezk 11:20 so that they may walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances, and do them. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

Ezk 11:21 And as to those whose heart is going after their hateful things, and also their heart is after their disgusting idols, I will give their way on their own heads, says the Lord Jehovah.

Ezk 11:22 And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and the wheels beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Ezk 11:23 And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.

Ezk 11:24 And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to the exiles. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

Ezk 11:25 And I spoke to the exiles all the things that Jehovah had shown me.

17) Ezekiel had a third vision from Yehovah.

The Valley of Dry Bones

Ezk 37:1 The hand of Jehovah was on me, and brought me by the Spirit of Jehovah, and made me rest in the midst of a valley, and it was full of bones.

Ezk 37:2 And He made me pass among them all around. And behold, very many were on the face of the valley. And lo, they were very dry.

Ezk 37:3 And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.

Ezk 37:4 Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the Word of Jehovah.

Ezk 37:5 So says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.

Ezk 37:6 And I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live. And you shall know that I amJehovah.

Ezk 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise. And behold, a shaking! And the bones came near, a bone to its bone.

Ezk 37:8 And I watched. And behold! The sinews and the flesh came up on them, and the skin covered them above. But there was no breath in them.

Ezk 37:9 And He said to me, Prophesy to the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to the Spirit, So says the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O Spirit, and breathe on these dead ones so that they may live.

Ezk 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.

Ezk 37:11 And He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dried and our hope is lost; we are cut off by ourselves.

Ezk 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, and will bring you into the land of Israel.

Ezk 37:13 And you shall know that I am Jehovah when I have opened your graves, O My people, and have brought you up out of your graves.

Ezk 37:14 And I shall put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. And you shall know that I Jehovah have spoken and have done it, says Jehovah.

18) Ezekiel has another vision of the coming Temple from Chapters 40 to 48. I will only quote the first few verses.

Vision of the New Temple

Ezk 40:1  In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was stricken, in the same day the hand of Jehovah was on me, and brought me there.

Ezk 40:2  In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel, and made me rest on a very high mountain. And it went up, as the structure of the city on the south.

Ezk 40:3  And He brought me there, and behold, a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, and a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed. And he stood in the gate.

Ezk 40:4  And the man said to me, Son of man, behold with your eyes and hear with your ears, and set your heart on all that I shall show you. For you are brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel.

19) In the Book of Daniel, we read about King Nebuchadnezzar having a dream from Yehovah about the history of the world.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

Dan 2:1 And in the second year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, with which his spirit was troubled and his sleep left him.

Dan 2:2 And the king commanded to call to the horoscopists, and to the conjurers, and to the sorcerers, and to the Chaldeans, to tell to the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

Dan 2:3 And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.

Dan 2:4 And the Chaldeans spoke to the king inAramaic, O king, live forever. Tell your servants the dream, and we will reveal the meaning.

Dan 2:5 The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing has gone from me. If you will not make known to me the dream, with its meaning, you will be made into mere members, and your houses shall be made an outhouse.

Dan 2:6 But if you make known the dream and its meaning, you shall receive gifts and a present and great honor from me. Therefore reveal to me the dream and its meaning.

Dan 2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will reveal its meaning.

Dan 2:8 The king answered and said, For I know that you surely want to gain time, because you see the thing is gone from me.

Dan 2:9 But if you will not make the dream known to me, there is only one judgment for you. For you have prepared lying and deceiving words to speak before me, until the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can reveal to me its meaning.

Dan 2:10 The Chaldeans answered before the king and said, There is not a man on the earth who can reveal the king’s matter, because not any king, lord, nor ruler has asked such a thing from any horoscopist or conjurer or Chaldean.

Dan 2:11 And it is a rare thing that the king asks, and there is no other who can reveal it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

Dan 2:12 For this cause the king was enraged and angered, and commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be destroyed.

Dan 2:13 And the law went out that the wise men should be killed. And they sought Daniel and his fellows to be killed.

Dan 2:14 Then Daniel answered with counsel and insight to Arioch the chief of the king’s executioners, who had gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.

Dan 2:15 He answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

Dan 2:16 Then Daniel went in and asked of the king that he would give him time, and that he would make known the meaning to the king.

20) In a dream, Yehovah reveals to Daniel what was said to King Nebuchadnezzar.

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

Dan 2:17 Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

Dan 2:18 that they might pray for the mercies of God in Heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Dan 2:19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. And Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.

Dan 2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

Dan 2:21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.

Dan 2:22 He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

Dan 2:23 I thank You, and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and have made known to me now what we asked of You. For You have now made known to us the king’s matter.

Dan 2:24 Then Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had chosen to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him; Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will declare the meaning to the king.

Dan 2:25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel in before the king, and said this to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make the meaning known to the king.

Dan 2:26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its meaning?

Dan 2:27 Daniel answered before the king and said, The secret which the king has demanded cannot be shown to the king by the wise men, the conjurers, the horoscopists, or the fortune-tellers.

Dan 2:28 But there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed are these.

Dan 2:29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen after this. And He who reveals secrets makes known to you what shall happen.

Dan 2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but so that the meaning might be known to the king, and that you might know the thoughts of your heart.

Daniel Interprets the Dream

Dan 2:31 You, O king, were seeing. And, behold! A great image! That great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you. And its form was dreadful.

Dan 2:32 This image’s head was of fine gold; his breast and his arms were of silver; his belly and his thighs were of bronze;

Dan 2:33 his legs were of iron; his feet were part of iron and part of clay.

Dan 2:34 You watched until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image upon its feet which were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

Dan 2:35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken to pieces together. And they became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Dan 2:36 This is the dream. And we will tell its meaning before the king.

Dan 2:37 You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of Heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

Dan 2:38 And wherever the sons of men, the beasts of the field, and the birds of the heavens live, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.

Dan 2:39 And after you shall arise another kingdom lower than you, and another third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

Dan 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. Since iron crushes and smashes all things; and as the iron that shatters all these, it will crush and shatter.

Dan 2:41 And as to that which you saw: the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron; the kingdom shall be divided. But there shall be in it the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

Dan 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.

Dan 2:43 And as you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mix themselves with the seed of men. But they shall not cling to one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other peoples, but it shall crush and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Dan 2:45 Because you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it crushes the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall occur after this. And the dream is certain, and its meaning is sure.

Daniel Is Promoted

Dan 2:46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face and worshiped Daniel, and he commanded to offer an offering and incense to him.

Dan 2:47 The king answered Daniel and said, It is true that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.

Dan 2:48 Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the prefects over all the wise men of Babylon.

Dan 2:49 And Daniel asked the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

21) King Nebuchadnezzar had a second dream from Yehovah, which was prophetic again, which Daniel also interpreted.

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

Dan 4:1  Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you.

Dan 4:2  It seemed good before me to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done with me.

Dan 4:3  How great are His signs! And how mighty areHis wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His rule is from generation to generation.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Second Dream

Dan 4:4  I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house and flourishing in my palace.

Dan 4:5  I saw a dream and it terrified me, and thethoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

Dan 4:6  So I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the meaning of the dream.

Dan 4:7  Then the horoscopists, the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the fortune-tellers came in. And I told the dream before them, but they did not make its meaning known to me.

Dan 4:8  But at last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And I told the dream before him, saying,

Dan 4:9  O Belteshazzar, master of the horoscopists, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its meaning.

Dan 4:10  As to the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.

Dan 4:11  The tree grew and was strong, and its height reached to the heavens; and the sight of it reached to the end of all the earth.

Dan 4:12  Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field sought shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its boughs, and all flesh was fed by it.

Dan 4:13  I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from Heaven.

Dan 4:14  He cried aloud and said this, Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches; shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the animals get away from under it, and the birds from its branches.

Dan 4:15  But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.

Dan 4:16  Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let the heart of an animal be given to him. And let seven times pass over him.

Dan 4:17  This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones, so that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

Dan 4:18  I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen this dream. Now you, O Belteshazzar, declare its meaning, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make the meaning known to me. But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

Daniel Interprets the Second Dream

Dan 4:19  Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stunned for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said, Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its meaning trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream is to those who hate you, and its meaning to your foes.

Dan 4:20  The tree that you saw, which became great and strong, whose height reached to the heaven, and the sight of it to all the earth;

Dan 4:21  whose leaves were fair, and its fruit plentiful, and in it was food for all, under which the animals of the field dwelt, and on whose branches the birds of the heavens had their home;

Dan 4:22  it is you, O king, for you have become great and strong, for your greatness has grown and reached to the heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.

Dan 4:23  And as the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from Heaven, and saying, Cut the tree down and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots of it in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him;

Dan 4:24  this is the meaning, O king, and this the decree of the Most High, which has come on my lord the king.

Dan 4:25  They shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. And they shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will.

Dan 4:26  And in that they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; your kingdom shall be sure to you after you have known that Heaven rules.

Dan 4:27  Therefore, O king, let my advice be pleasing to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, whether there will be duration to your prosperity.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Humiliation

Dan 4:28  All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar.

Dan 4:29  At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.

Dan 4:30  The king spoke and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?

Dan 4:31  While the word was in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from Heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken. The kingdom has departed from you.

Dan 4:32  And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will.

Dan 4:33  The same hour the thing was fulfilled on Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men, and ate grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

Nebuchadnezzar Restored

Dan 4:34  And at the end of days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to Heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His rule is from generation to generation.

Dan 4:35  And all the people of the earth are counted as nothing; and He does according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the people of the earth. And none can strike His hand, or say to Him, What are You doing?

Dan 4:36  At that time my reason returned to me. And the glory of my kingdom, my honor and brightness returned to me. And my advisers and my lords came for me, and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.

Dan 4:37  Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and exalt and honor the King of heaven, all whose works are truth and His ways judgment. And those who walk in pride He is able to humble.

22) Daniel also had a vision of the four Beasts who represent the 4 empires of the world.

Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts

Dan 7:1  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and gave the sum of the matters.

Dan 7:2  Daniel spoke and said, In my vision by night I was looking: and behold, the four winds of the heavens were stirring up the Great Sea.

Dan 7:3  And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another.

Dan 7:4  The first was like a lion and had eagle’s wings. I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on its feet like a man. And a man’s heart was given to it.

Dan 7:5  And behold another beast, a second, like a bear. And it raised itself up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it: Arise, eat up much flesh.

Dan 7:6  After this I saw, and lo, another, like a leopard, which had four wings of a bird on its back. The beast also had four heads; and rulership was given to it.

Dan 7:7  After this I looked in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, frightening and terrifying, and very strong. And it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

Dan 7:8  I was thinking about the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom three of the first horns were uprooted. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

The Ancient of Days Reigns

Dan 7:9  I watched until the thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days sat, whose robe was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool. His throne was like flames of fire, and His wheels likeburning fire.

Dan 7:10  A stream of fire went out and came out from before Him. A thousand thousands served Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Dan 7:11  Then I was looking because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched until the beast was slain, and his body was destroyed and given to the burning flame.

Dan 7:12  And the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away. Yet their lives were made longer for a season and time.

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

Dan 7:13  I saw in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.

Dan 7:14  And dominion and glory was given Him, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations and languages, should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Daniel’s Vision Interpreted

Dan 7:15  I Daniel was distressed in my spirit in its body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Dan 7:16  And I came near one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the meaning of the things.

Dan 7:17  These four great beasts are four kings; they shall arise out of the earth.

Dan 7:18  But the saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

Dan 7:19  Then I wanted to know the truth of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, very frightening, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of bronze; who devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the rest with his feet;

Dan 7:20  and of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking very great things, whose appearance wasgreater than his fellows.

Dan 7:21  I watched, and that horn made war with the saints and overcame them

Dan 7:22  until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High. And the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Dan 7:23  And he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all kingdoms and shall devour the whole earth, and shall trample it and crush it.

Dan 7:24  And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise. And another shall arise after them. And he shall be different from the first, and he shall humble three kings.

Dan 7:25  And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and plot to change times and laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and one-half time.

Dan 7:26  But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his rulership, to cut off and to destroy until the end.

Dan 7:27  And the kingdom and rulership, and the greatness of the kingdom under all the heavens, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all kingdoms shall serve and obey Him.

Dan 7:28  Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts troubled me much, and my face changed on me. But I kept the matter in my heart.

23) Daniel also had a vision about something else we are going to talk about later in this newsletter.

Daniel’s Vision of the Ram and the Goat

Dan 8:1  In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me at the first.

Dan 8:2  And in a vision I looked. And it happened when I looked, I was at Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam. And in a vision I looked, and I was by the Ulai Canal.

Dan 8:3  Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And behold, a ram with two horns stood before the canal having two horns, and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

Dan 8:4  I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward; so that no beasts could stand before him, nor any that could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will, and became great.

Dan 8:5  And as I was watching, behold, a he-goat came from the west, over the face of the all earth, and did not touch the ground. And the he goat had an outstanding horn between his eyes.

Dan 8:6  And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran to him in the fury of his power.

Dan 8:7  And I saw him come close beside the ram, and he was moved with anger against him, and struck the ram and shattered his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him. But he threw him down to the ground and stamped on him. And none could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Dan 8:8  Then the he-goat became very great. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken. And in its place came up four outstanding ones towards the four winds of the heavens.

Dan 8:9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which became very great, toward the south and toward the east and toward the bountiful land.

Dan 8:10  And it became great, even to the host of heaven. And it made fall some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

Dan 8:11  Yea, he magnified himself, even to the ruler of the host, and the daily sacrifice was taken away by him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:12  And an army was given to him against the daily sacrifice because of transgression, and it cast the truth to the ground. And it worked and succeeded.

Dan 8:13  Then I heard a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that one who spoke, Until when shall the vision last, concerning the daily sacrificeand the transgression that astounds, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?

Dan 8:14  And he said to me, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be vindicated.

The Interpretation of the Vision

Dan 8:15  And it happened when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me the form of a man.

Dan 8:16  And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.

Dan 8:17  So he came near beside my place. And when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision is for the time of the end.

Dan 8:18  And as he was speaking with me, I was stunned, on my face toward the ground. But he touched me and set me upright.

Dan 8:19  And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall happen in the last end of the indignation. For it is for the time appointed for the end.

Dan 8:20  The ram which you saw having two horns arethe kings of Media and Persia.

Dan 8:21  And the shaggy goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

Dan 8:22  And as for that being broken, and four stood up in its place; four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in its power.

Dan 8:23  And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king, fierce of face, and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy marvelously, and shall prosper and work, and destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25  And also through his understanding, he shall cause deceit to succeed in his hand. And he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many. He also shall stand up against the Ruler of rulers. But he shall be broken without a hand.

Dan 8:26  And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true. But you shall shut up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

Dan 8:27  And I Daniel fainted, and was sick for days. Afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business. And I was amazed at the vision, but there was no understanding.

24) The subject we have been sharing since 2005 about the 70 Jubilees was another vision Daniel had.

Gabriel Brings an Answer

Dan 9:20  And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my cry before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;

Dan 9:21  yes, while I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, touched me in my severe exhaustion, about the time of the evening sacrifice.

Dan 9:22  And he enlightened me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I have now come out to give you skill and understanding.

Dan 9:23  At the beginning of your prayers the commandment came out, and I have come to explain. For you are greatly beloved; therefore understand the matter, and attend to the vision:

The Seventy Weeks

Dan 9:24  Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people and as to your holy city, to finish the transgression and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.

Dan 9:25  Know therefore and understand, that from the going out of the command to restore and to build Jerusalem, to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks. The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in times of affliction.

Dan 9:26  And after sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself. And the people of the ruler who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. And the end of it shall be with the flood, and ruins are determined, until the end shall be war.

Dan 9:27  And he shall confirm a covenant with many forone week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease, and on a corner of the altar desolating abominations, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured on the desolator.

25) And the last of Daniel’s visions made him very sick to understand.

Daniel’s Terrifying Vision of a Man

Dan 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. And the thing was true, and a great conflict. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.

Dan 10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks.

Dan 10:3 I ate no food for delight, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, until three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Dan 10:4 And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,

Dan 10:5 then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man was clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz.

Dan 10:6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face looked like lightning. And his eyes were like lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet in color were like polished bronze, and the voice of his words like the sound of a multitude.

Dan 10:7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. For the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

Dan 10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me. For my beauty was turned within me to corruption, and I kept no strength.

Dan 10:9 Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I was in a deep sleep on my face, and my face was toward the ground.

Dan 10:10 And behold, a hand touched me, which set me shaking on my knees and the palms of my hands.

Dan 10:11 And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright. For to you I am now sent. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood trembling.

Dan 10:12 Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel; for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to chasten yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come for your words.

Dan 10:13 But the ruler of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief rulers, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Dan 10:14 Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for many days.

Dan 10:15 And when he had spoken such words to me, I bowed my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

Dan 10:16 And behold, one looking like the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O lord, my sorrows are turned on me by the vision, and I have kept no strength.

Dan 10:17 For how can the servant of my lord talk with my lord? For as for me, immediately there remained no strength in me, nor is there breath left in me.

Dan 10:18 Then again one like a man in form came and touched me, and he made me stronger

Dan 10:19 and said, O man greatly beloved, do not fear. Peace to you; be strong; yes, be strong. And when he had spoken to me, I was made stronger, and I said, Speak my lord, for you have made me stronger.

Dan 10:20 Then he said, Do you know why I come to you? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I have gone out, lo, the ruler of Greece shall come.

Dan 10:21 But I will show you that which is written in the Scripture of Truth. And there is none who holds strongly with me in these things, but Michael your ruler.

26) Amos also has visions from Yehovah.

Warning Visions

Amo 7:1  The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the late grass; even behold, the late grass after the king’s mowings.

Amo 7:2  And it happened when it had made an end of eating the tender plant of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray You. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.

Amo 7:3  Jehovah repented for this; It shall not be, says Jehovah.

Amo 7:4  The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, the Lord Jehovah was calling to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and it wasdevouring part of it.

Amo 7:5  Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, I pray You, cease. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.

Amo 7:6  Jehovah repented for this; This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.

Amo 7:7  He made me see this: And behold, the Lord was standing by the plumbline-wall, and a plumbline in His hand.

Amo 7:8  And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumbline. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

Amo 7:9  And the high places of Isaac shall be wasted, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

27) Amos another vision.

The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning

Amo 8:1  The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, a basket of summer fruit!

Amo 8:2  And He said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then Jehovah said to me, The end has come to My people Israel: I will never pass by them any more.

Amo 8:3  And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, says the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies shall be many. In every place one shall throw them out, saying, Hush!

Amo 8:4  Hear this, you who trample the poor, even to make the humble of the land to fail,

Amo 8:5  saying, When will the new moon be gone so that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great, and perverting the balances by deceit;

Amo 8:6  that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals; and sell the chaff of the wheat?

Amo 8:7  Jehovah has sworn by the Glory of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

Amo 8:8  Shall not the land tremble for this, and all who dwell in it mourn? And all of it shall rise up like the light. And it shall overflow and sink like the Nile of Egypt.

Amo 8:9  And it shall be in that day, says the Lord Jehovah, I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the light of day.

Amo 8:10  And I will turn your feast into mourning, and all your songs into weeping; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning of an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

Amo 8:11  Behold, the days come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of Jehovah.

Amo 8:12  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.

Amo 8:13  In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.

Amo 8:14  They who swear by the sin of Samaria and say, As your god lives, O Dan; and, As the way of Beer-sheba lives; even they shall fall and never rise up again.

28) And Amos has another one.

The Destruction of Israel

Amo 9:1  I saw the Lord standing by the altar. And He said, Strike the capital of the door, so that the thresholds shall shake; and break them on the head of all of them. And I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them fleeing will flee, and not a fugitive of them will escape.

Amo 9:2  If they dig into hell, there My hand shall take them. And if they go up to the heavens, I will bring them down from there.

Amo 9:3  And if they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. And if they are hidden from My sight in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpent there, and he shall bite them.

Amo 9:4  And if they go into captivity before their enemies, I will command the sword there, and it shall kill them; and I will set My eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

Amo 9:5  And the Lord Jehovah of Hosts is He who touches the land, and it shall melt, and all who dwell in it shall mourn. And all of it shall rise up like the Nile, and sink down like the Nile of Egypt.

Amo 9:6  It is He who builds His staircase in the heavens, and He has founded the heavens on the earth; He who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth; Jehovah is His name.

Amo 9:7  Are you not like sons of the Ethiopians to Me, O sons of Israel, says Jehovah? Have I not brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Amo 9:8  Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth; except that I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says Jehovah.

Amo 9:9  For lo, I will command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes with a sieve, yet not a grain shall fall to the earth.

Amo 9:10  All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not draw near, or come in front of us.

The Restoration of Israel

Amo 9:11  In that day I will raise up the booth of David that has fallen, and close up its breaks; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

Amo 9:12  so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations on whom My name is called, says Jehovah who is doing this.

Amo 9:13  Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that the plowman and the reaper shall draw near, the treader of grapes, and he who draws along the seed. And the mountains will drip must, and all the hills will be dissolved.

Amo 9:14  And I will turn back the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the cities which are desolate, and they shall live in them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine. They shall also make gardens and eat their fruit.

Amo 9:15  And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says Jehovah your God.

29) Obadiah has a vision from Yehovah.

Edom Will Be Humbled

Oba 1:1 The vision of Obadiah. So says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a message from Jehovah, and a messenger is sent among the nations: Rise up, even let us rise up against her for battle.

Oba 1:2 Behold, I have given you to be small among the nations; you are greatly despised.

Oba 1:3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, dwelling in the clefts of the rock, his dwelling is lofty; saying in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Oba 1:4 Though you rise high like the eagle, and though you set your nest between the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Jehovah.

Oba 1:5 If thieves came to you, if destroyers by night (how you have been cut off!), would they not have stolen until they had enough? If the grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?

Oba 1:6 How Esau is searched out! His hidden things are sought out!

Oba 1:7 All the men of your covenant have dismissed you to the border; the men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and have overcome you. They are setting your bread as a snare under you; there is no understanding in them.

Oba 1:8 Shall I not in that day even destroy the wise out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau, says Jehovah?

Oba 1:9 And your mighty ones, O Teman, shall be afraid, so that each man from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

Edom’s Violence Against Jacob

Oba 1:10 Shame shall cover you from the violence against your brother Jacob, and you shall be cut off forever.

Oba 1:11 On the day of your standing on the other side, on the day that the strangers were capturing his force, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

Oba 1:12 But you should not have looked on the day of your brother on the day of his alienation; nor should you have rejoiced over the sons of Judah in the day of their ruin; nor should you have enlarged your mouth in the day of distress.

Oba 1:13 You should not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; also, you should not have looked on his evil in the day of their calamity. Nor should you have sent out against his force in the day of his calamity.

Oba 1:14 Nor should you have stood on the crossways to cut off those of him who escaped; nor should you have shut up his survivors in the day of distress.

The Day of the Lord Is Near

Oba 1:15 For the day of Jehovah is near on all the nations; as you have done, it shall be done to you. Your reward shall return upon your head.

Oba 1:16 For as you have drunk upon My holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink forever. Yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Oba 1:17 But upon Mount Zion shall be those who escaped; and it shall be holy. And the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

Oba 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame. And the house of Esau shall be for stubble. And they shall kindle in them and burn them up. And no survivor shall be to the house of Esau; for Jehovah has spoken it.

The Kingdom of the Lord

Oba 1:19 And those of the south shall possess the mountain of Esau and the low country of the Philistines. And they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria; and Benjamin shall possessGilead.

Oba 1:20 And the exiles of this army shall go to the sons of Israel who shall possess the land of the Canaanites to Zarephath; even the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the south.

Oba 1:21 And deliverers shall go up into the mountain of Zion to judge the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom shall be to Jehovah.

30) Habbukkah also prophecies because of the visions given to him from Yehovah.

Hab 2:1  I will stand on my watch and set myself on the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith

Hab 2:2  And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

Hab 2:3  For the vision is still for an appointed time, but it speaks to the end, and it does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.

Hab 2:4  Behold, the soul of him is lifted up, and is not upright; but the just shall live by his faith.

Hab 2:5  And also wine indeed betrays a proud man, and he is not content. He widens his soul like Sheol, and he is like death, and is not satisfied, but gathers all nations to himself, and heaps to himself all the peoples.

Woe to the Chaldeans

Hab 2:6  Shall not all these lift up a parable against him, and a mocking riddle to him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! Until when, then, shall he load the pledges on himself?

Hab 2:7  Shall not those who strike you rise up suddenly, and those who shake you awake, and you become a prize to them?

Hab 2:8  Because you have stripped many nations, all the rest of the people shall strip you; because of men’s blood, and the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell in it.

Hab 2:9  Woe to him who robs evil booty for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil!

Hab 2:10  You have planned shame to your house, to make an end of many people, and are sinning in your soul.

Hab 2:11  For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

Hab 2:12  Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

Hab 2:13  Behold, is it not for Jehovah of Hosts that the people labor only for fire; yea, the nations weary themselves only for vanity?

Hab 2:14  For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.

Hab 2:15  Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring out your wineskin, and also making him drunk, that you may look on their nakedness!

Hab 2:16  You are filled with shame instead of glory; drink also, and be seen as one uncircumcised! The cup of Jehovah’s right hand shall turn on you, and disgrace shall be your glory.

Hab 2:17  For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the ruin of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of man, and the violence of the land, the city, and all those dwelling in it.

Hab 2:18  What does an image profit, for its maker has carved it; a molten image, and a teacher of lies? For does the maker trust in his work on it, to make dumb idols?

Hab 2:19  Woe to him who says to the wood. Awake! To a dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and no breath is in its midst.

Hab 2:20  But Jehovah is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.

31) Zechariah also has visions from Yehovah.

A Vision of a Horseman

Zec 1:7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, it is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the Word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

Zec 1:8 I watched by night. And behold! a Man riding on a red horse, and He stood among the myrtle trees in the ravine. And behind Him were red, sorrel and white horses.

Zec 1:9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

Zec 1:10 And the Man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are those whom Jehovah has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

Zec 1:11 And they answered the Angel of Jehovah who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sits still and is at peace.

Zec 1:12 Then the Angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of Hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which You have cursed these seventy years?

Zec 1:13 And Jehovah answered the angel who talked with me with good words, comfortable words.

Zec 1:14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, Cry out, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.

Zec 1:15 And with great anger I am angry at the nations at ease; in that I was but a little angry, and they gave help for evil.

Zec 1:16 Therefore so says Jehovah: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house shall be built in it, says Jehovah of Hosts. And a line shall be stretched over Jerusalem.

Zec 1:17 Cry out again, saying, So says Jehovah of Hosts: My cities shall yet be spread abroad through good, and Jehovah shall again overflow with goodness, and Jehovah shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

A Vision of Horns and Craftsmen

Zec 1:18 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, four horns!

Zec 1:19 And I said to the angel who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.

Zec 1:20 And Jehovah showed me four craftsmen.

Zec 1:21 And I said, What are these coming to do? And He spoke, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head. But these have come to terrify them, to throw down the horns of the nations who lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

32) Zechariah has a vision concerning Joshua.

A Vision of Joshua the High Priest

Zec 3:1  And He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

Zec 3:2  And Jehovah said to Satan, May Jehovah rebuke you, Satan! May even Jehovah who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

Zec 3:3  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy clothes, and stood before the Angel.

Zec 3:4  And He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy clothes from him. And to him He said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with ceremonial robes.

Zec 3:5  And I said, Let them set a clean turban on his head. And they set a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the Angel of Jehovah stood by.

Zec 3:6  And the Angel of Jehovah charged Joshua, saying,

Zec 3:7  So says Jehovah of Hosts: If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these who stand by.

Zec 3:8  Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men of symbol.

Zec 3:9  For behold! I will bring forth My Servant the Branch. For behold the stone that I have set before Joshua: On one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its engraving, says Jehovah of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Zec 3:10  In that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, you shall call, each man to his neighbor, to sit under the vine and under the fig tree.

33) Zechariah’s vision about the Golden Lampstand.

A Vision of a Golden Lampstand

Zec 4:1  And the angel that talked with me came again and awakened me, as a man that is awakened out of his sleep.

Zec 4:2  And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand, all of it gold, and a bowl on its top, and its seven lamps on it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps on its top;

Zec 4:3  and two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.

Zec 4:4  And I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

Zec 4:5  Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, Do you know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Zec 4:6  Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the Word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of Hosts.

Zec 4:7  Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings, Grace! Grace to it!

Zec 4:8  And the Word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

Zec 4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me to you.

Zec 4:10  For who has despised the day of small things? For they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. These seven are the eyes of Jehovah which run to and fro through the whole earth.

Zec 4:11  And I answered and said to him, What arethese two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?

Zec 4:12  And I answered again and said to him, What are the two olive clusters beside the two golden pipes, emptying the golden oil from themselves?

Zec 4:13  And he answered me and said, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Zec 4:14  And he said, These are the two sons of fresh oil who stand by Jehovah of the whole earth.

34) This is the vision of the flying scrolls we have spoken of many times.

A Vision of a Flying Scroll

Zec 5:1  And I again lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold! A flying scroll.

Zec 5:2  And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.

Zec 5:3  And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth; for from now on everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it; and everyone who swears from now on shall be cut off according to it.

Zec 5:4  I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of Hosts; and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall devour it, and its timber and its stones.

A Vision of a Woman in a Basket

Zec 5:5  Then the angel who talked with me went forth and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.

Zec 5:6  And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth.

Zec 5:7  And behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and a woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah.

Zec 5:8  And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah. And he cast the lead stone over its opening.

Zec 5:9  And I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.

Zec 5:10  And I said to the angel who talked with me, Where are they going with the ephah?

Zec 5:11  And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established and set there on its own base.

35) The vision of the four chariots is similar to the four horsemen or seals of Revelation.

A Vision of Four Chariots

Zec 6:1 And I turned and lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold! Four chariots were coming from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of bronze.

Zec 6:2 Red horses were in the first chariot; and in the second chariot black horses;

Zec 6:3 and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot horses with dappled, strong colors.

Zec 6:4 And I answered and said to the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord?

Zec 6:5 And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four spirits of the heavens who go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

Zec 6:6 The black horses in it go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the dappled go forth to a south country.

Zec 6:7 And the strong colored ones went forth and sought to go, so to walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go! Walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

Zec 6:8 And he cried to me and spoke to me, saying, Behold, these who go toward the north country have caused My Spirit to rest in the north country.

36) We also have many visions show to us in the New Testament staring with the Magi.

The Visit of the Wise Men

Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men came from the east to Jerusalem,

Mat 2:2 saying, Where is He who is born king of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him.

Mat 2:3 But when Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Mat 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

Mat 2:5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea. For so it is written by the prophet,

Mat 2:6 “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the governors of Judah. For out of you shall come a Governor who shall rule My people Israel.”

Mat 2:7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, inquired of them exactly what time the star appeared.

Mat 2:8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child. And when you have found him, bring me word again so that I may come and worship him also.

Mat 2:9 When they had heard the king, they departed. And lo, the star which they saw in the east went before them until it came and stood over where the child was.

Mat 2:10 And seeing the star, they rejoiced withexceedingly great joy.

Mat 2:11 And coming into the house, they saw the child with Mary His mother. And they fell down and worshiped Him. And opening their treasures, they presented gifts to Him, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Mat 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

37) Joseph, the husband of Mary, also had visions.

The Flight to Egypt

Mat 2:13 And when they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and His mother and flee into Egypt. And be there until I bring you word, for Herod is about to seek the child to destroy Him.

Mat 2:14 And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night and departed into Egypt.

Mat 2:15 And he was there until the death of Herod; so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the LORD through the prophet, “Out of Egypt I have called My Son.”

Herod Kills the Children

Mat 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was greatly enraged. And he sent and killed all the boys in Bethlehem, and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully inquired of the wise men.

Mat 2:17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

Mat 2:18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.”

38) Another vision to Joseph tells him when it was safe to return to Israel from Egypt.

The Return to Nazareth

Mat 2:19  But Herod having expired, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

Mat 2:20  saying, Arise, and take the child and His mother. And go into the land of Israel. For the ones who sought the child’s life are dead.

Mat 2:21  And he arose and took the child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.

Mat 2:22  But when he heard that Archelaus reigned in Judea in his father Herod’s place, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee.

Mat 2:23  And he came and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, “He shall be called a Nazarene.”

39) Pilots wife had a vision about Yehshua.

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

Mat 27:15  Now at that feast the governor was accustomed to release to the people a prisoner, whomever they desired.

Mat 27:16  And they then had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

Mat 27:17  Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, Whom do you desire that I release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?

Mat 27:18  For he knew they had delivered Him because of envy.

Mat 27:19  But as he was sitting down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that just man, for today because of Him I have suffered many things in a dream.

Mat 27:20  But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

Mat 27:21  The governor answered and said to them, Which of the two do you desire that I release to you? They said, Barabbas.

Mat 27:22  Pilate said to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? They all said to him, Let Him be crucified.

Mat 27:23  And the governor said, Why? What evil has He done? But they cried out the more, saying, let Him be crucified!

40) Paul had a vision at his conversion.

The Conversion of Saul

Act 9:1  And Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

Act 9:2  and asked letters from him to Damascus to the synagogues; so that if he found any of the Way, whether they were men or women, he might bring thembound to Jerusalem.

Act 9:3  But in going, it happened as he drew near to Damascus, even suddenly a light from the heaven shone around him.

Act 9:4  And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?

Act 9:5  And he said, Who are you, lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom you persecute. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.

Act 9:6  And trembling and astonished, he said, Lord, what will You have me to do? And the Lord said to him, Arise and go into the city, and you shall be told what you must do.

Act 9:7  And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, indeed hearing a voice but seeing no one.

Act 9:8  And Saul was lifted up from the earth, his eyes were opened, but he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

Act 9:9  And he was three days not seeing, and did not eat or drink.

Act 9:10  And there was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold me, Lord.

Act 9:11  And the Lord said to him, Arise and go into the street which is called Straight and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,

Act 9:12  and has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.

Act 9:13  And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evil things he has done to Your saints at Jerusalem.

Act 9:14  And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your Name.

Act 9:15  But the Lord said to him, Go! For this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear My name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel.

Act 9:16  For I will show him what great things he must suffer for My name’s sake.

Act 9:17  And Ananias went and entered into the house. And putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, who appeared to you in the way in which you came, has sent me to you that you might see and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Act 9:18  And instantly scales as it were fell from his eyes, and he instantly saw again. And rising up, he was baptized.

41) Cornelius had a vision to go and see Peter.

Peter and Cornelius

Act 10:1 And a certain man named Cornelius was in Caesarea, a centurion of the Italian cohort,

Act 10:2 one devout and fearing God, with all his household, both doing many merciful deeds to the people, and praying continually to God.

Act 10:3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw plainly in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, Cornelius!

Act 10:4 And he was gazing at him, and becoming terrified, he said, What is it, lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your merciful deeds have come up for a memorial before God.

Act 10:5 And now send men to Joppa and call for Simon, whose last name is Peter.

Act 10:6 He is staying with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside. He will tell you what you must do.

Act 10:7 And when the angel who spoke to Cornelius departed, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier from those who waited on him continually.

Act 10:8 And explaining all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.

42) Peter had a vision before Cornelius came.

Peter’s Vision

Act 10:9  On the next day, as these went on the road, and drawing near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

Act 10:10  And he became very hungry and desired to eat. But while they made ready, an ecstasy fell on him.

Act 10:11  And he saw the heaven opened and a certain vessel like a sheet coming down to him, being bound at the four corners and let down to the earth;

Act 10:12  in which were all the four-footed animals of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the heaven.

Act 10:13  And a voice came to him, saying, Rise, Peter! Kill and eat!

Act 10:14  But Peter said, Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.

Act 10:15  And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has made clean, you do not call common.

Act 10:16  This happened three times, and the vessel was received up again into the heaven.

Act 10:17  And while Peter doubted within himself what the vision which he had seen might be, even behold, the men who were sent from Cornelius had asked for Simon’s house and stood on the porch.

Act 10:18  And they called and asked if Simon whose last name is Peter was staying there.

Act 10:19  And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are looking for you.

Act 10:20  Therefore arise and go down and go with them without doubting, for I have sent them.

Act 10:21  And going down to the men, those sent to him from Cornelius, Peter said, Behold, I am the one you are seeking. For what reason have you come?

Act 10:22  And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man and one who fears God, and one of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and to hear words from you.

Act 10:23  Then he called them in and lodged them. And on the next day Peter went away with them, and certain brothers from Joppa went with him.

Act 10:24  And the next day they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

Act 10:25  And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped.

Act 10:26  But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up! I also am a man myself.

Act 10:27  And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

Act 10:28  And he said to them, You know that it is an unlawful thing for a man, a Jew to keep company with or to come near to one of another nation. But God has shown me not to call any man common or unclean.

Act 10:29  Therefore I came without complaint, being sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me.

Act 10:30  And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. And at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.

Act 10:31  And he said, Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your merciful deeds have been remembered before God.

Act 10:32  Therefore send to Joppa and call here Simon whose last name is Peter, he is staying in the house of Simon, a tanner by the seaside; who, when he comes, shall speak to you.

Act 10:33  Therefore I immediately sent to you, and you have done well to come. Now therefore we are all here present before God to hear all things that are commanded you by God.

43) Paul had a vision to go to Macedonia.

Act 16:8 Then passing by Mysia, they came down into Troas.

Act 16:9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A certain man of Macedonia stood, begging him, saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us!

Act 16:10 And after he saw the vision, we immediately tried to go into Macedonia, gathering that the Lord had called us in order to preach the gospel to them.

The Conversion of Lydia

Act 16:11 Then having set sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

Act 16:12 and from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we continued spending time in that city some days.

Act 16:13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was usually made. And we sat down and spoke to the women who came together there.

Act 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia heard us, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God; whose heart the Lord opened, so that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.

Act 16:15 And when she was baptized, she and her household, she begged us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay. And she constrained us.

44) Yehovah encouraged Paul to be brave by a vision.

Act 18:8  And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house. And hearing this, many of the Corinthians believed and were baptized.

Act 18:9  And the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Do not be afraid, but speak, and be not silent.

Act 18:10  For I am with you, and no one shall set on you to hurt you, for I have many people in this city.

Act 18:11  And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.

Act 18:12  But Gallio being pro-consul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rushed against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

Act 18:13  saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to the Law.

Act 18:14  And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed then, it was anything wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, according to reason I would endure you.

Act 18:15  But if it is a question of a word and names, and of your law, you look to it. For I do not wish to be a judge of such things.

Act 18:16  And he drove them from the judgment seat.

Act 18:17  And all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio did not care for any of these things.

45) A vision began Paul’s conversion.

Act 22:1  Men, brothers and fathers! Hear my defense now to you.

Act 22:2  And hearing that he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, they all the more kept silence. And he said,

Act 22:3  I am truly a man, a Jew born in Tarsus in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the exactness of the Law of the fathers, being a zealous one of God, as you all are today.

Act 22:4  I persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and delivering both men and women into prisons;

Act 22:5  as also the high priest bears witness to me, and all the elderhood. And receiving letters from them to the brothers, I traveled into Damascus indeed to lead those being bound to Jerusalem, in order that they might be punished.

Act 22:6  And it happened to me, traveling and drawing near to Damascus: suddenly, about midday, a great light out of the heaven shone around me.

Act 22:7  And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?

Act 22:8  And I answered, Who are you, lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.

Act 22:9  And they who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid. But they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.

Act 22:10  And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise and go into Damascus. And there it shall be told you all things which are appointed for you to do.

Act 22:11  And I did not see, because of the glory of that light; being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

Act 22:12  And one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, testified to by all the Jews who lived there,

Act 22:13  coming to me and standing by, said to me, Brother Saul, look up! And the same hour I looked up on him.

Act 22:14  And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen you to know His will and to see the Just One, and to hear a voice out of His mouth.

Act 22:15  For you shall be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.

Act 22:16  And now what do you intend? Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Act 22:17  And it happened to me, I returning to Jerusalem and praying in the temple, I became in an ecstasy.

Act 22:18  And I saw Him say to me, Hurry and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.

Act 22:19  And I said, Lord, they know that I was imprisoning and beating those who believed on You throughout the synagogues.

Act 22:20  And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was poured out, I also was standing by and consenting to his death, and holding the garments of those who killed him.

Act 22:21  And He said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the nations.

46) Paul also had a vision before being shipwrecked.

Act 27:22  And now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no casting away of life among you, only of the ship.

Act 27:23  For tonight an angel of God stood beside me, whose I am and whom I serve,

Act 27:24  saying, Fear not, Paul! You must stand before Caesar. And behold! God has given you all those who sail with you.

Act 27:25  Therefore, men, be of good cheer, for I believe God, that it will be so, according to the way it was told me.

47) The Apostle John also had the vision that is now recorded in the Book of Revelation.

Prologue

Rev 1:1 A Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to declare to His servants things which must shortly come to pass. And He signified it by sending His angel to His servant John,

Rev 1:2 who bore record of the Word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all the things that he saw.

Rev 1:3 Blessed is the one who reads and hears the Words of this prophecy, and the ones keeping the things written in it, for the time is near.

In the weeks leading up to Sukkot, I had been praying that Yehovah would speak to me in a dream or vision and tell me what I should do to help promote our message.  Although we have reached some, I have not been able to reach the masses with my message as I wanted.

Then, on the Sabbath during Sukkot, I told Eric and Mayur that I am not a big fan of those who write to me about their dreams. Eric laughed as soon as he heard Nehemia because Eric saw the irony of this event straight away. My statement on Shabbat about dreams and Nehemia’s statement about dreams and how both of us are not keen on them. Yehovah causes Nehamia to have a dream to contact me. Yehovah does have a sense of humour.

Yehovah Speaks to Nehemia by a Dream

In the weeks leading up to Sukkot, I had been praying that Yehovah would speak to me in a dream or vision and tell me what I should do to help promote our message.  Although we have reached some, I have not been able to reach the masses with my message as I wanted.

Amo 3:6  If a ram’s horn is blown in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is a calamity in a city, has Jehovah not also done it?

Amo 3:7  For the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Amo 3:8  The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken; who will not prophesy?

Then, on the Sabbath during Sukkot, I told Eric and Mayur that I am not a big fan of those who write to me about their dreams. Eric laughed as soon as he heard Nehemia because Eric saw the irony of this event straight away. My statement on Shabbat about dreams and Nehemia’s statement about dreams and how both of us are not keen on them. Yehovah causes Nehamia to have a dream to contact me. Yehovah does have a sense of humour.

I do not normally divulge my conversations with Nehemia, but this is an historic event, as I am about to show you. And we already discussed these vents in the video.

Nehemia, out of the blue, wrote me early 9:25 Sunday morning, August 25, 2024, stating the following:

Can you record a podcast this week?

I was surprised and excited but wondering what brought this about. At 11:34 AM the same Sunday, I responded:

What day are you thinking of and what subject?

Then, at 2:07 that Sunday afternoon, Nehemiah wrote:

Any subject you want. I had a dream, which I interpreted to mean that I need to let you speak to my audience. Believe me that’s not normal. This is the first time. I’m available tomorrow anytime. Or anytime this week.

Dr. Nehemia Gordon, PhD

We then made arrangements to speak Monday afternoon on zoom. Here is the link which now has 4,233 in just three days.

I want to encourage each and every one of you to leave a positive comment requesting that Nehemia learn more about the Jubilee Cycles I have and how they reveal end-time prophecy. You can help us promote this message just by leaving positive comments and urging more joint podcasts.

After our Shabbat meeting, Kim Tate, Mayur Satodkar, and I studied Daniel 8 in-depth late into the night.

Dan 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself, even to the ruler of the host, and the daily sacrifice was taken away by him, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:12 And an army was given to him against the daily sacrifice because of transgression, and it cast the truth to the ground. And it worked and succeeded.

Dan 8:13 Then I heard a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that one who spoke, Until when shall the vision last, concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression that astounds, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled?

Dan 8:14 And he said to me, For two thousand, three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be vindicated.

The Interpretation of the Vision

Dan 8:15 And it happened when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me the form of a man.

Dan 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.

Dan 8:17 So he came near beside my place. And when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision is for the time of the end.

Dan 8:18 And as he was speaking with me, I was stunned, on my face toward the ground. But he touched me and set me upright.

Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know what shall happen in the last end of the indignation. For it is for the time appointed for the end.

Dan 8:20 The ram which you saw having two horns arethe kings of Media and Persia.

Dan 8:21 And the shaggy goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

Dan 8:22 And as for that being broken, and four stood up in its place; four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in its power.

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king, fierce of face, and skilled at intrigues, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy marvelously, and shall prosper and work, and destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25 And also through his understanding, he shall cause deceit to succeed in his hand. And he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many. He also shall stand up against the Ruler of rulers. But he shall be broken without a hand.

Dan 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true. But you shall shut up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

Dan 8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick for days. Afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business. And I was amazed at the vision, but there was no understanding.

We have been speaking about these 2300 days since 2005. I even wrote a book titled The 2300 Days of Hell, and published it in 2014, which you can order through our site at this link. https://sightedmoon.com/2300-days-lp/

We show you how the daily sacrifices were made at 9 AM and 3 PM each day. By understanding Hosea 14:2, we can then know that the daily are today the prayers of our lips made corporately.

Hos 14:1 O Israel, return to Jehovah your God, for you have fallen by your iniquity.

Hos 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah. Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive usgraciously, that we may repay with the calves of our lips.

This is the half Torah portion for Shabbat Shuva.

With our understanding of the daily being our daily prayers, we showed you in our book The Abomination That Makes Desolate that the countdown began with Prime Minister Netanyahu declaring a national lockdown on March 25, 2020. You can order it at this link https://sightedmoon.com/abomination-lp/

I was so sure when the Abomination would be set up that I went to Israel personally to look for it. I warned Yehudah Glick and wrote a letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Chief Rabbinate. Keith Johnson also heard I had done this and wanted to talk to me, thinking I had lost my mind. Both Yehudah and Keith would write to me after October 7 and tell me I was right in what I was saying. No, I did not get it exactly right. I at first thought it began with W.H.O. announcing it on March 11. We would later learn it was March 25, 2020.

So, the 2,300-day count also began with the same starting point. That was the day the Prime Minister locked down all of Israel on March 25, 2020. When we count 2,300 days from this date, we arrive at July 9th, 2026. It is on this date that these two Holy Ones, or these two witnesses, will begin to vindicate those Saints who are found under the altar in Revelation 6.

Rev 6:9 And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held.

Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Until when, Master, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?

Rev 6:11 And white robes were given to each one of them. And it was said to them that they should rest yet for a little time, until both their fellow servants and their brothers (those about to be killed as they were ) should have their number made complete.

In Daniel 8, there are two Holy Ones talking. I have been waiting for a certain person to come along and ask about the 2300 Days without my prompting. On Monday, March 26, 2024, that prophecy was fulfilled when Nehemia asked me when all of these things would happen. He was asking when or what the next big thing would happen, according to my understanding.

The most significant part, the most incredible part, was that Yehovah told Nehemia to contact me. Yehovah prompted this, and no one else did.

Another amazing fact that I want you all to understand is that in our book The Restoration of All Things, I show you what has been lost or forgotten and must be restored before Yehshua can come. You can order this book at this link. https://sightedmoon.com/restoration-abomination-lp/

Yehshua said;

Mat 17:10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

Mat 17:11 And answering Jesus said to them, Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things.

We are also told that Elijah would be:

Mal 4:4 Remember the Law of Moses My servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and judgments.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Jehovah.

Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of the sons to their fathers, that I not come and strike the earth with utter destruction.

There are only four people I know of who are doing these things and who can be credited with restoring parts of the Torah and teaching it. They are in the process of restoring things once lost and turning the hearts of the people to Yehovah before He comes and destroys the earth. We explain each person in detail in The Restoration of All Things. Order it today. While many are now teaching the Torah, only these four can be credited with having restored a part of it.

And of those four possible candidates, two of them just publicly asked and answered the question about the 2300 mornings and evenings and when they would be completed. Again, all of this began because Yehovah told Nehemia in a dream to contact me. He did not tell Nehemia what to ask or what to talk about. Nehemia had a clean sheet. I, too, was not sure what to talk about, but the conversation eventually got around to the 2300-day count from the time Netanyahu declared a lockdown. This was what Daniel 8 said would happen between two Holy Ones.

On a side note;

Looking at the 10 Days of Awe as 10 Years then we must consider the time it takes for the two witnesses to go to the Temple and testify and then for the High Priest to announce it by blowing the shofar and lighting the fires. This could take place over hours into the night.

When we look at the 10 years of Awe, Last year, we kept the Feast of Trumpets on August 18, 2023. 50 Days later, it was October 6, 2023.

This year, the Feast of Trumpets was August 6, 2024. 50 Days later, it will be September 24, 2024. Do we expect the second Yom Teruah, the second Feast of Shouting, to take place at that time? Nehemia asked what was the next big thing. I told him about the first Trumpet plague, with 1/3 of the grass and trees all burning up and then the great nation falling into the sea or people all aflame in 2025. Then, the two witnesses began to work in 2026.

I did not see this 50-day event taking place until after our meeting on Monday afternoon. I am not saying it will take place, but I am now watching for something in which voices will be shouting again about September 24, 2024 or the day after.

Having said all of this, I am left with one question.

If Yehovah told Nehemia to listen to my message and help promote it: if my message is the one Yehovah is promoting through someone like Nehemia, then why are you not listening to all of it? Why are you not studying into all we have shared about the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years? If Yehovah thought it was good enough for Nehemia and visited him in a dream, then is it not also equally urgent for you to learn what we have taught on this subject?
