Background Rant Before Dreams

If you read my last dream post, you will see that I really thought there would be a rapture the following day (due to all the hype online about a feast of trumpets rapture). Needless to say, I am very heartbroken there wasn’t, and I feel confused and dumb. But I am still getting weird dreams that really don’t seem like they would happen by chance. This may seem like foolishness to someone who hasn’t received any such dreams, but I still remain hopeful that some sort of rapture will happen soon. So, I intend to keep living my life following the gospel – praying, reading the scriptures, fighting against the flesh, largely abstaining from worldly media, etc. – as if each day might be my last. I guess to the secular world I just seem very dumb (and I don’t blame you for thinking that), but if you are among my brothers and sisters in Christ who have also been receiving many dreams and revelations you will more understand. Ultimately, even if we don’t know the exact timeline, the world still passes away, and part of me is sort of grateful that I thought the rapture would happen on the 22^nd because it helped motivate me to overcome sin.

And to the people of whom I warned the tribulation would happen on the 22^nd, and then they were let down when it didn’t happen, I am very sorry. I was wrong.

A True Prophecy or a False Prophecy

Seeing that many people claimed to have received personal confirmations that the feast of trumpets prophecy was true, when it appears to have not come true, this undoubtedly makes it look like modern day revelations are not credible. Nevertheless, obviously, I think some revelations should be harkened unto – thus here I will try to resolve this issue.

There were symptoms of the feast of trumpets prophecy not being true:

• None of the youtubers who I actively follow who claim to receive revelation prophesied this date (though, a great many who I don’t follow did receive confirmations of said date).
• The main people who received the prophecy of the feast of trumpets were Black South Africans. I hate to say this (and Lord forgive me), but that makes it less credible to me than if it were from westerners.
• As a rule, we shouldn’t put too much stock into revelations received from strangers – since Satan also disseminates false prophecy, the only way we can really determine if a prophecy is true or not is by familiarizing ourselves with the messengers. If the messengers are strangers, or only have like a single revelation, then it is very difficult to determine if a revelation is true or not.
• The prophecy had supporters who drew their conclusions from mathematics in the Bible, which historically hasn’t worked (though, I’m not necessarily opposed to this, after all, I think it is good to hold revelations accountable to the scriptures, and I do think the scriptures, and the numbers therein, ought to be deeply studied).
• I prayed for my own grand confirmations of this date, and didn’t receive any. Interestingly, this actually reflects a time in my life about 6 months ago, when I prayed many times for a confirmation of the 3 days of darkness (because people online were saying the 3dod was imminent and would happen last April), and I didn’t receive the confirmation dreams I sought. However, recently I have been receiving a lot of dreams confirming the 3dod (which makes me think the 3dod is imminent).

So then, why did so many people receive confirmations of it? I think because there really will be the three days of darkness this fall (potentially even in the next few weeks), so people were receiving confirmations of the coming end times, and mistakenly assumed these revelations directly applied to the feast of trumpets prophecy.

One of the reasons why I am not giving up is because of the news about how 800 military generals unexpectedly called to DC. In my view, their meeting is about war with Iran, as I dreamt of in Hidden Political and Religious Structures. If that’s true, then that means the timeline for my dreams to start coming true should be nearly upon us.

Commentary from Others on this Prophecy

I think this video: Word in The Night: “Emmaus” – Church In a Road to Emmaus” Moment: Hold On! Our 3rd Day Is Coming! had some noteworthy commentary.

The message likened our situation as disappointed prophecy watchers to that of the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). At that time, the disciples felt let down by Christ – they thought Christ would save them as prophesied, but instead he died – and so, they were amazed when they encountered the resurrected Christ while on the road to Emmaus. The parallel of course is that we in the modern day likewise feel disappointed that a prophecy we were watching didn’t seem to come true, but maybe it indeed will come true, just slightly later than expected.

This video also has noteworthy commentary: If This is True..EVERYTHING Will Make Perfect Sense in Days! It goes over this scripture:
Habakkuk 2:3
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

The theory is that this scripture is saying how the “appointed time” of the end will tarry (or be delayed) but still comes. Thus, there will be times when we thought the prophecies of the end have already passed, but we need to continue waiting. This reminds me of scriptures in the Book of Mormon about how the saints in the Americas waited for the signs of the birth and death of Christ (the sign of his birth was a day without a night, and the sign of his death was three days of darkness):

3 Nephi 1:5-8
5 But there were some who began to say that the time was past for the words to be fulfilled, which were spoken by Samuel, the Lamanite.
6 And they began to rejoice over their brethren, saying: Behold the time is past, and the words of Samuel are not fulfilled; therefore, your joy and your faith concerning this thing hath been vain.
7 And it came to pass that they did make a great uproar throughout the land; and the people who believed began to be very sorrowful, lest by any means those things which had been spoken might not come to pass.
8 But behold, they did watch steadfastly for that day and that night and that day which should be as one day as if there were no night, that they might know that their faith had not been vain.

3 Nephi 8:3-4
3 And the people began to look with great earnestness for the sign which had been given by the prophet Samuel, the Lamanite, yea, for the time that there should be darkness for the space of three days over the face of the land.
4 And there began to be great doubtings and disputations among the people, notwithstanding so many signs had been given.

Evidently, the people in the Book of Mormon had a lot of doubting and angst about whether the time had already passed or not. Thus, perhaps it is realistic to assume the end times will be much like this as well.

And finally, some people online think that the feast of trumpets prophecy might still actually be true – theories range from perhaps that our understanding of the Jewish calendar is wrong, to the idea we should wait 7 days after the feast of trumpet because Noah had to enter the boat seven days before the flood came. I can’t say with confidence these theories are correct, but I really hope they are.

Dreams

September 23

I dreamt that I was Joseph Smith, and people were trying to kill me and trap me with ropes; though they failed, they nevertheless burned down my house and ruined my life fiscally.

There was also a scene where I was fighting my enemies, and I knocked down this staircase, and despite my poverty after losing my possessions, I devoted my time to rebuilding the staircase in a much better and more robust construction than its initial state – just to make things right.

Similarly, there was a scene where I was buying food at a grocery store, and people asked me to buy them food in some sort of exchange – and I knew that they were just scamming me and stealing my money. I was very afraid of running out of money because my enemies had destroyed all that I had, but I couldn’t refuse them and still bought them their food anyway (and it was more like I was watching this happen, not myself doing it).

Conclusions

This dream was about how Joseph Smith was smitten by his enemies, despite being God’s servant. In the face of this all, Joseph continued living in an upright and Christlike manner. Thus, even though we might feel let down that no rapture happened on the 22^nd, we must continue steadfast and try our hardest to live righteously.

September 24

I dreamt that there was this roller coaster ride that was prophesied to come to pass, and then I got onto it and road it (interestingly, Lindsey Stirling was there, but I don’t know what her role is or what that means).

The interpretation is that the end times is like a “Roller Coaster”. When roller coasters start, there usually is a space of time when you are just waiting for the coaster to get to the top before the ride truly commences. Thus, I believe that while we are already on the “roller coaster” of the end times, we still are in the moments where the roller coaster is climbing up the hill, and thus we will only see the evidence that the end times started once the roller coaster truly begins the plunge.
