Dream with 88

[notmyown]

@notmyown aka mom I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude or anything

oh, honey, of course i know that! i wouldn't have mentioned it had i known it would upset you, and please do trust the Scriptures! above all, keep trusting in our Lord Jesus. He'll never fail you.

i understand you've been suffering a great deal, and i may be wrong, but it seems to me you're trying to find meaning in all of it. i understand that, too.

so, if you're cool with it, i'll just go back to praying for you, as indeed i have been all year. please don't think of me not responding to your posts as rejection of any kind, though, okay? ♥

i'm right here if ever you need me.

i do love you, Blain. i always will.
Numbers 6:24-26

why is this in the scripture?

Revelation 13:18​

Here is wisdom.​

Let him who has understanding ​

calculate the number of the beast,​

for it is the number of a man:​

His number [is] 666.​

​

​

666 in the book of revelations is to CONFIRM a prophecy about the beast .

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

I do not have this wisdom or understanding, This is my reasonable interpretation, that this wisdom and understanding will be given when this beast will rise in the end times as is written in the peophecy.

As for dream interpretation it is given by GOD and has a purpose, see the book of Daniel 1 and 2 for full context here is an example;

Dan 1:17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Dan 2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast nowmade known unto us the king's matter.

Blessings.

Super Nice post!
to Blain;
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Blessings All.

There are several methods of gematria that have developed other than the standard method. For example, the standard method renders the word "shalom" to equal 376, and the Mispar Gadol method that assigns values to the final form letters renders 'shalom' to equal 936. Interestingly, each value is divisible by 8 and the latter by 117 which is the shortest chapter in the bible, psalm 117, which is before the middle chapter psalm 118 which divides it from the longest chapter psalm 119... so, I'm taking this as a 'note to self,' or 'wink,' that this method is the one most notably significant.

However, I still find it especially difficulty calculating that particular number of a man into anything recognizable.

and the wise are told to calculate the number - yet more proof i am not wise, but it serves to illustrate that there "is" a legitimate numerology in the Bible

God created math, and His book is full of numbers, none of them insignificant - they are part of scripture. another example is the 153 fish at the end of John's gospel - why tell. us this specifically? and the measurements of the temple and the tabernacle, they have a significance.

i agree that there are clearly illegitimate numerologies that amount to divination, but i wanted to be careful not to write off the idea of meaning behind math completely.

I think 666 might be the only exception, I agree the bible is full of significant numbers by design, 7, 12, 40 etc. yes they have significance and permits us to link events ( or verify in the case of 666) but cannot be used to try and predict things to come.

Blessings.

OF course, the subject has wound my cognitive gears up and began with the possibility of "osm' since the vav , that has the value of 6, often indicates an "O" sound, samech has a value of 60, and the sofit, or 'final' form of "mem" is 600, but I rejected that since it sounds like it might be "osama" but that would need an additional letter, either the aleph or the heh. But then, I thought, perhaps, there is an additional letter in that particular name that would include letters that add up to 6, like the heh, 5, and the aleph, 1, and thereby that possibility and sounding out, aleph, heh, samech, mem, I stumble upon something that sounds much like, "hashem" (though I'm pretty sure that is spelled with a 'shin' rather than a 'samech'). Sooo, with that I type in hashem and the engine retrieves an article about 'hashemites' who are believed to be descendants of the grandfather of Muhammed....

Now y'all just making my head hurt...

 

[Blain]

Stop eating Cheddar cheese just before you go to bed!

Can you prove my dream was not from God? if not then why do you make fun?

Wow I am glad you have done so much research I like seeing that. You are way more intelligent than me everything you wrote is interesting but goes way over my head

I have read many of your threads recounting your "dreams" and "visions," and when tested against Scripture, they are irrelevant nonsense!

 

[ResidentAlien]

I don't have to disprove anything; you're the one making the claim, it's on you to prove it's from God. So far all I've heard is ridiculous nonsense.

Blain was not addressing you; he quoted someone else, but you act like he was talking to you for some strange reason.

 

[Lynx]

Eh... Gotta agree with them on this one. That's not ridicule, that's just advice. There's nothing to indicate this dream is from God, or from the devil for that matter. I've had more meaningful dreams after going to bed on a belly full of too much supper.

 

[Mem]

The dream wasn't addressed to anyone else but Blain, so why should it matter to anyone else who it was from?

Then he took it public on a forum thread.

*shrug

Now he gets opinions from the public.

I thought the mocking was a bit much, but the rest is quite normal. If he didn't want people's opinions (I assume) he would not have posted the dream on a public forum. Personally I'm not going to lie and tell him something I don't think is true, so I'm telling him I think it was just another dream.

I've had a lot of dreams that were strange, and though most were easily dismissed as pizza sauce some weren't so 'forgettable' that seemed to used symbolism, even if I couldn't readily understand it. Like if I go into a church or house and it has no ceiling, it seems to me that pizza sauce would know that houses have ceilings...

Ever start critiquing a dream for things that don't add up, while you're dreaming it? "No way, he does NOT act like that. I refuse to believe he could act like that. This has to be a dream, or I'm watching a TV show, or something, but I call bull."

Just because you don't understand it? An "I don't know' or "I can't really comment on that" would be a more honest answer. Who is really even any 'expert' on how the mind works?

If Blain is being brought through a process of healing, is it not a legitimate avenue if it isn't through ordinarily prescribe avenues or instantaneous? If you think it is obvious that his mind is 'messed up' how would you recommend 'untangling' all the knots that prevent a clearer thinking? or is it simply just impossible?

I've often joked, 'take your meds,' but the humor in that is established in the tragedy of the thinking that the mind can be cured with a pill. The pill is the proverbial message saying, "I don't know what to do for you, and can't deal with you, really, so here's something to knock you out."
