Thirty or so years ago, I had a dream. It was a dream of disaster. There was a title wave coming which would kill a lot of people. Somehow, there was enough time before the event to order an evacuation. Buses would carry people out of the area to safety. The choosing of who would escape was done by lottery.

I was chosen. However, I gave my seat to someone else. I remember they were young and afraid. Who wouldn’t be? Once the buses were loaded and departing, I stood up and began preaching the gospel. Some how, I was not afraid. The presence of God was with me very strongly. I wanted to make it known to all the people left in that place that God was with us and there was nothing to fear.

I remember God being there. They talked to me about Moses and what he was like. How that if it were possible to surprise God, Moses would have been the one.

That’s all I remember from the dream. I have never forgotten the images. It felt very real. Perhaps the events in the dream will happen someday. Back when I had the dream, I was living in New Orleans, a place that can easily be flooded, but the setting didn’t seem right. Now I live in South Carolina, the east coast. I don’t know how it would happen, but the setting feels familiar.

If the dream was prophetic in nature, and the events do unfold in my lifetime, I pray that I will be prepared. I don’t know if I was young or old in the dream, but It is obvious now that if the dream comes to pass, I will be and old man. I am 62.

Throughout the years, ever now and then, the dream comes to my thoughts. I think it could have been prophetic. I don’t claim to be a prophet, nor do I want such an event to occur. It was a dream.

At this point in my life, I am learning of the character, nature, and love of God. These things are being solidified in my spirit and mind. God is safe. He cares about all of us, believers and non-believers alike. I am confident in His ability to reconcile ALL of man to himself through Christ. We will ALL be purified.

It has taken me many years to arrive at this point, believing God is good all the time to all people. We all belong to Him. It has been made clear in scripture that God is the Father of the human race and He will always take care of us.

With no explanations, I will end this with one of my favorite passages of scripture. 

Jesus before his death speaking to his disciples says, “I will not leave you as orphans. Will come to you.Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day, you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you” (John 14:18-20 ESV).
