I was
flying in a jet airliner at an extremely high elevation. I happened to
look out the window just in time to witness the most incredible sight that
I have ever seen. I have watched many films of atomic explosions from the
original atomic testing on bikini atoll to the atomic bombing of Nagasaki
and Hiroshima. I even lived in Japan during the '60s and was downtown
Fukuoka city in southern Japan when the first films were released to the
public that showed the bombing of Hiroshima. Being an American, I barely
escaped with my life from the incredibly violent mobs that rioted after
they left the theaters. I add this as background as I relate this
unbelievable dream or vision or both.
As I
looked out the window a great explosion took place. It dwarfed any
explosion that I could ever believe was possible. The first thing I saw
was the flash and then the terrific concussion from the blast moved at a
speed across the landscape that was beyond belief. Then the fire and heat
followed again at an incredible speed. The earth seemed to disappear and
the column and mushroom cloud encompassed the whole sky. It seemed that it
had taken out the center of the whole United States.
Every
thing became dark and the sky filled with violent black clouds that were
moving in a rapid confused state, but again it was all so incredibly
violent. The wind and rain and swirling black clouds. I found myself on
the ground in an area of destroyed buildings. Everything was covered in
black, nasty wet ash and the ground was a muddy mess. And the rain was
dirty and dark. And it just rained and rained from the dark sky.
Everything was so dark. I saw people hiding in destroyed houses. Sometimes
just a skeleton or half a frame house barely standing. Everyone seemed to
be in a state of shock. It was so ugly. A woman that I recognized came up
to me and said, "Did you see the blast?" I answered that I did, from an
airplane. She was an attractive lady except her face has lesions all over
it.
This
was a very realistic dream and from my history with dreams it is a very
significant one. The last one I had concerned war in the Balkans more than
seven years ago. I saw Slavic women holding skulls in their hands and
weeping over their loved ones. A few days later the same woman was in a
photograph in the newspaper holding her son's skull and weeping!
This
is what I saw. Saints, God wants us to be prepared for anything and to
preach the Gospel before it is too late to preach.
