In my life I have had maybe 4 dreams that I know were from God. So I dont speak of dreams often or lightly, but this one was so profound I would love to hear what you all think of it.
It was 25th or 26th of JUNE 2009
I was standing in the new temple in Jerusalem while it was being built. A man was trying to show me all the pieces that had been made to go into the temple, but he only spoke Hebrew so I did not understand him. He picked up a large vase that was painted with the temple treasures and pointed them out to me.
The only word I understood from him was MENORAH.
We then walked by a man hunched over a desk. I believed him to be a Jewish scholar or sage. He was dressed in a long brown robe and had shoulder length white hair and beard. On the desk was a HUGE open book. But when I looked at it, I saw it was completely blank, except on the upper left side, I saw this : 3-1/2 yrs. (exactly like that)
The man looked me square in the eyes and said so intently "There are only 3-1/2 years left of this generation."
Then suddenly, This same man (the scholar or sage) and I were standing in a valley. Water came rushing thru the valley making a river and the man said to me "Look the River Jordan flows again."
The river took up the valley and we were standing on a sort of small cliff over looking the river and the man turned, pointed and said " He's coming, He's coming, He's coming!"
I turned and saw Jesus walking along the cliff toward us. I just began to cry. Then He was standing in front of me and I fell to my knees and began to weep at His feet. I cryed so hard I could hardly breathe (in my dream). I was soaking His feet and tried to dry them with my hair.
I could hear the man who was standing next to Jesus say "Like the woman who washed your feet with her tears and dryed them with her hair."
Then the phone rang and I woke up
But my heart was screaming NO NO NO let me go back to His feet. I just wanted to cry when I woke up. It was so powerful and so difficult to put that in words here.
Now let me tell you what Ive learned since then.
The date..June 2009, I remember it was the last week maybe 25th, 26th. 3-1/2 years from that date is DEC 2012. He did NOT say end of the world, he said end of this generation. 3-1/2 years is also the time of the Great Trib., after the AC reveals himself.( no idea if there is a connection)
Now the Menorah. I discovered from Jewish sources that the Menorah is THE ONLY BIBLICAL SYMBOL of Israel. There is NO OTHER symbol in the bible that represents Israel.
The River Jordan..I just recently did a search on this river and learned that the place where they believe that John baptised Jesus is now a DRY RIVER BED... The Jordan river has moved , I think it was a mile, from the place where the baptism is believed to take place.
As for the story in the bible of the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears and hair, I did not remember exactly how that story went so I looked it up and this is what Jesus said. "Those who are forgiven much, love much."
I do know that was for me.
As for the rest, I find Im still discovering things about it but have yet to connect the dots to find out what it all means. Would love to hear some feedback, I know some of you have had some amazing dreams. Do you always know what they mean?

Well, I never have any dreams, so I'm not much help. All I can say is WOW, what a great dream. It's definitely something to treasure! I like the confirmation that SOMETHING might be happening in Dec of 2012. We don't know what, but I just take comfort in the confirmations that soon, this will all be over and we will be home!
Sounds to me like you have a pretty good handle on what it means! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Diane. I did not realize immediatly that Dec 2012 was 3-1/2 yrs from that day until later. I had to count it.
It's kinda funny cuz people talk about 11:11 and on 12-21-12 the winter soltice commences at 11:11 UTC.
just another strange 'coincidence."

Dear Tea Rose,
What a great dream! Here are some thoughts that came to mind.
I really feel that came from the Lord. There's a lot of symbolism in it...the menorrah (representing Israel), the blank pages in the book, indicating that the days havn't occured yet, and that's why they haven't been written in yet.
And of course, the best part about Dec 2012 being the end of this generation, indicating that life as we know it is coming to an end, and the judgements of the Lord and the tribulation is about to begin.
Another part that struck me is how the Lord Jesus revealed Himself to you, and you were so overcome with love and gratitude in your heart for him, that you started weeping and wiping His feet. What a beautiful experience that was!
Too bad that doggone phone had to ring!!
Great dream! Thank you for sharing.
I am feeling led to post this for you...something I was reading last night. I had been instructed by a very Spirit-filled friend several weeks ago to read from this site to learn how to crucify my flesh nature and then last night this was linked in a blog I was reading...all about the Jordan river and the three resurrections. FWIW, I totally believe there are firstborn sons and later born sons as Rev 12 (to me) clearly points this out. It is also represented by the crossing of the Jordan River.
Thanks Lisaleenie for your comments.
It was an amazing dream that I think about nearly every day. Thats how profound it was. And yes beautiful, breathtaking, awesome ect lol.
Wow Dee, I will definetly check out that website and give some attention to what you wrote. I think Im too tired to absorb it all right now, LOL, But very interesting. On a another note, did you get a look at the pic I posted on your Orion thread? Just wondered if it had any resemblence to what you were talking about.

Another thought I had...you are on a cliff where you witness the river rushing forth..through the valley. Could the cliff represent you having been raptured and the river represent the outpouring the latter rain after the firstfruits rapture?
The vase made me think of a vessel....the fact it is covered with temple treasures makes me think of a 'vessel of honor'.....one that can be easily filled with the Holy Spirit....this is prior to the rapture and it is my belief that it is only vessels of honor who have been sufficiently cleansed through obedience that will be raptured.
The fact that the temple is the NEW temple and is being built represents two things....the first is that we all know the actual temple in Jerusalem is to begin being built on March 16...so this is a timemarker...secondly ..it is my belief that Jesus is going to rebuild the Church...HIS TEMPLE...stone by living stone on a stronger foundation than the one man has built it on for 2000 years. Menorah represents the churches in Revelation...the seven candletsticks and also the seven candles/feasts of the Menorah.
Also remember that John the Baptist came before Jesus and he must decrease while He increases. Elijah must come first before the Lord returns again....now whether this is in spirit as it was in John the Baptist or in actual Elijah or BOTH we don't know...but there is something prophetic in it...could it be the latter rain will in essence be the releasing of the John the Baptist spirit of Elijah before the coming of Christ?
I believe the old man is an angel and He is showing you the book of life...it is empty and this perhaps may indicate that all the saints have been raptured already which is why the book is blank. Or perhaps representing that there are none worthy as the saints have already been raptured.
The fact that Jesus is up on the cliff with you shows you are raptured. and peering down on the latter day rain events on the earth. You weeping shows you are a worthy vessel of honor.
Wow Dee!
I never looked deeply at the meaning just because I didnt know what to think of it, except seeing Jesus. The rest I just pondered over. But that is an amazing way to look at it. Im going to have re-read your post a few times. Im seeing some of what you wrote. Thanks.

Oh...I also agree with Lisaleenie....that the book with blank pages represent that these have not occurred yet. I had a similar dream from the Lord where I had a 'record book' that I was having to keep track in and all the 'exam' pages were filled, but the procedure pages were all blank, ready to be filled. It was evident to me that the whole book would eventually be filled. Perhaps we are further along in the 70th week than we think?? I think the Lord was telling me that we were about to move into a new phase....a more advanced phase...I had that dream in early January this year.
I bet you can't wait to ask Jesus what He meant with your dream....I have LOTS of questions to ask Him about mine....LOL...
Every part of this dream represents a relationship with Jesus. The Menorah which represents light, is symbolic of our relationship with Christ:
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.â€
John 8:12
On a Menorah, all six candles were to face inward toward the middle candle which was the highest one that supplies oil to the rest of the candles.
This white haired man could represent Abraham who symbolizes faith. The bible tells us that without faith it is impossible to please Him.
Regarding the Jordan river, here is what Rick Joyner had to say about its symbolism:
"Last week we discussed how the Jordan River, which represents death, overflowed all of its banks all the days of the harvest. This was a prophetic sign that during the harvest (the end of the age), we can expect death to be overflowing all of its banks. However, when the Ark and the people of Israel entered into the Jordan, it says that its waters were rolled back all the way to Adam. This speaks about how when the church follows the Lord into the crucified life where we die daily, no longer living for ourselves but for Him, it will turn back death all the way to Adam, or all that was caused by the fall of man.
Both Jesus and John baptized in the Jordan River because it emptied into the Dead Sea, and therefore symbolically represented death. Baptism is a ritual performed to emphasize an important spiritual reality. The bane of Christianity since the third century has been to substitute rituals for the realities that they were intended to illuminate. The ritual was meant to convey the commitment on the part of the one baptized that they would die to themselves to live to Christ."
I also agree with Lisaleenie. The empty pages could be for the period of time after the 3 1/2 years or it could be used during the millenial reign
Here is a picture of the dried up river Jordan:

TeaRose,
I just got to your post with your dream.
Thanks for sharing.
I would add to the intepratations already put forward, that the time frame 3,5 years needs to be seen not with the time of the dream (June 2009) but with the time when the TEMPLE will be built. Then it will be 3,5 years for the generation of Israel to react to ministry of 144000 witneses and two witneses in Jerusalem. After it it will come the TIME of Jacob´s trouble - the period of God´s judgement which was never experienced before and JEWS will have to run and hide before Antichrist forces.
The Jordan was stopped by God so that Israel could cross over it to promised land. If the waters return, it may mean the JUDGEMENT coming. But you were in the dream above it on the cliff (ROCK of salvation) and with JESUS. It symbolizes the CHURCH which will be with Jesus. It could reprezent the Mary story and it was said that what she did will be said whenever gospel will be presented. Now you are with Jesus and the time of CHURCH age ended (Rapture).
Your dream is prophetic about coming 7 years period and God´s dealing with Israel.
Maranatha,
Ales
