7/23/07 Dream Worthy or Not Your Grades Are In!

An early morning dream:

I was in a home and a man was coming to pick up report cards. I knew he had been to other homes and done like wise. I knew he was going to others and was going to collect every report card. The cards were all individual grades and were standing up here and there. There was more than one report card per person. They were placed about the home, one on a table, one on the back of a chair another on a dresser, a bed. They were all a single piece of paper, folded and standing, like you might display a birthday or Christmas card.

It is done.

The Understanding:
I heard no words but the understanding was this. We, Christians, have been graded. Cards collected. Just as God has removed His candle stand, His Spirit, from some churches, and most likely will do so to others, so he will from man. Just as God warned and measured before the destruction and captivity of Israel. He measures man. (This is not the person with the ink well or horn marking 144,000 from the tribes of Israel.) Some Christians are going to the sword, some to die of pestilence, famine or beasts, some to captivity. Staying faithful to the end will gain salvation and a crown of life. Being destined for an appointment by the perfect judgement of God is no accident, escaping it by repenting and loving truth may still be possible. This is in preparation for the removal of the "talents" and redistribution to others who will use them to God's glory. This redistribution of "talent" will cause those who have to shine brighter, the difference being much more easy to see. Also fulfilling Biblical Prophecy. It is God's preparation for the Great Falling Away, prophesied thousands of years ago. It is God making a difference between the just and the unjust. We hear the sound of the Bridegroom off in the distance, those who have oil, let your light shine, be bold. Light the path for those without, that none will stumble and fall in the darkness.
