a spiritual dream?

I seldom dream, if I do, I rarely pay much attention to it. Honestly, most dreams don’t make much sense, or they might resemble something of a horror movie. Tonight I fell asleep for a couple hours. I remember before falling asleep, that lately I haven’t been feeling like much of a Christian. My behaviors, habits, attitude and psychology have become human, less spiritual, and more human. I don’t even know what spiritual really means, because to me, it does involve some kind of magic. Not in the sense of witchcraft or voodoo, but the metaphysical. So when I did dream, and it was spiritual in nature, that did awaken me. It was even heavily laden in Christianity.

I do not remember much of it, in fact, when I woke up I continued watching a movie, I was previously watching. I had to stop myself, because something about this, did encourage and uplift me. I do remember one key principle and that was the 7 natures of Christ. Or something about searching for Christ, in 7 different regards. The dream shared with me, a person of faith, and he was heavily involved in a church that looked like largely diverse members, but a lot of Asians.

This does no justice and is AI

The above image was the most reflective and memorable moment I can remember. It doesn’t do it much justice. Because that curtain was actually behind a lesser group of people. Behind the curtain was rows and sections of many people, all seated behind them. Inside the curtain area was this man, who was actually smoking. But it was almost like an apparatus he had, and the smoking device remained in his mouth the entire time. Something else that was disturbing, was that a woman in this group. She showed her breasts. I think to somehow attract a man in the congregation.

I think a good many people, that take advantage of situations like this. They become lackadaisical especially in the spiritual, and more into the carnal. Our flesh is not something satisfied, its evident and exhausting to not realize it.

I cannot think of a better allegory outside of the bible itself than Pilgrim’s Progress

Something that the muslim religion (demons, demonic..maybe worse than satanist themselves) has taught me, is that its unequivocal and utopian idea of heaven, is itself in the flesh. Self indulgence and carnality, pure unbridled and sexual.

I know for certain, my time with the bible and faith. Its taught me, that the self and the flesh are things to be conquered, not to be in submission to. And please do not mistake me! I am a heathen through and through.

In regard to this dream, and the significance of 7. I think it goes without saying, the creation story in Genesis and the relevance of 7 days. But I do recall the number, “777”. And numerous of examples and iterations of this number throughout. I did some research with AI and I came out with some biblical references, that might be of some interest.

Some examples: ITALICS FROM ONWARD INDICATE COPIED CONTENT VERBATIM FROM AI OR INTERNET RESEARCH

  • Seven churches (Revelation 1:4)
  • Seven golden lampstands (Revelation 1:12)
  • Seven stars (Revelation 1:16)
  • Seven spirits of God (Revelation 1:4)
  • Seven seals (Revelation 5:1)
  • Seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2)
  • Seven bowls (Revelation 16:1)

The seven churches are especially interesting because Christ addresses each one individually in Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

The repeated use of seven emphasizes the completeness of God’s message and judgment.

Other significant examples of seven

ScriptureSignificance
Genesis 7:2-4Seven pairs of clean animals and seven days before the flood
Genesis 21:28-31Seven ewe lambs and the covenant at Beersheba
Exodus 25:31-37Seven lamps on the golden lampstand
Joshua 6:4Seven priests, seven trumpets, seven days at Jericho
2 Kings 5:10Naaman instructed to wash seven times
Matthew 18:21-22Jesus teaches forgiveness beyond conventional limits

In John’s Gospel, Jesus makes seven statements traditionally identified as the seven I AM declarations.

  1. I am the bread of life — John 6:35
  2. I am the light of the world — John 8:12
  3. I am the door — John 10:9
  4. I am the good shepherd — John 10:11
  5. I am the resurrection and the life — John 11:25
  6. I am the way, the truth, and the life — John 14:6
  7. I am the true vine — John 15:1

There is an important theological connection here.

In Exodus 3:14, God reveals Himself to Moses:

“I AM THAT I AM.”

When Jesus repeatedly uses the expression “I AM,” particularly in John’s Gospel, He is making profound claims about His identity and relationship with the Father.
