RAPTURE

17-01-2012

I dreamt in the wee hours of the morning:

In my dream it is around 7am/8am. It is summer. Blue skies, warm and beautiful weather. Everyone is busy with the hustle and bustle of going to their destinations. It is January when school starts. Kids are running around, people are going to work, roads are busy with traffic. The morning is consumed in its daily routine of commerce, trade, education and it is busy. Cars, buses and pedestrians litter the streets. I notice high rise buildings, office parks, flats, houses and bus shelters.

My husband and I are at school enrolling our daughter (9) and son (4). My kids run around and leave the classroom to a field which is an extension to the school. This field has an open air small hospital ward set up. The kids are excited, because they play doctor/nurse/patient. The kids pretending to be patients lay in the sick bay awaiting attention from the doctor and nurses.

Then all of sudden the clouds in the sky starts to move fast and swirl up. Things start to move faster, unreal in the skies. It is not normal. Then a whole lot of white birds fly at an alarming speed and fall in front of my view. Next are black birds falling down at the same speed! This event punctures the atmosphere and your attention is exclusive to the scene. It is a mass die. The 2 sets of birds (white and black) are separate and are not mixed. They pile in heaps on the floor. It is as if the skies are opening up to reveal the heavens and all that is in the air is removed to make way. The air is tense. There earth starts to shake, rumbling sounds of tremors. The earthquakes starts. Buildings are collapsing and roads are splitting up. Cars and busses are being pushed around and is falling down.

People are in shock, disbelief. Their eyes are witnessing the events but the mind is not comprehending the abnormal events. People are screaming and running around for cover. I see what is happening but I am very aware, it is shocking but I know! Rapture! Things get hectic.

My son runs into the entrance of the building to escape the destruction. I grab my daughter and run in the direction of my son. I can’t see my son. There is panic, chaos and mayhem. My eyes are searching for my son and then as if the dream allows me to see him. I grab him. I don’t know where my husband is. And then I look at the entrance/ doorway, there is a large piece of cloud that falls down. The three of us move slowly towards this piece of cloud. We then look up to the sky to see what is in its place.

It is an opening in the heavens with a glorious light that is streaming down. I wonder if we will be lucky enough to be caught up. Then all of sudden the three of us are being raised up into the light. It is gentle. There are a lot of people all over the earth being drawn up. I can see them, above, in front, behind, all around, beneath and they are all looking up to this light. There are masses of people caught up. I feel emotions of joy, peace and excitement as you are being absorbed into this light. The people caught up are in peace. I realise my husband is not with us. While being absorbed up with my 2 children, my eyes are searching for my husband amongst the people being beamed up. I then see him in a distance also traveling upwards in this light. I notice that he looks younger (18/19 with a moustache).

I then wake up. It’s a dream within a dream. I wake up in my daughter’s bedroom. I run out to tell everyone what I dreamt. I have this urgency to spread the news. There seems to have been a storm and the rain has come through the roof/ceiling. I see my husband’s cousin. He is in the opposite room with his family. They are wet because of the rain. He is trying to tell me that he had a dream but I want him to hear about my dream. My husband’s granny comes into the room and she is very concerned about the physical situation of her grandson and his family being wet from the rains. The granny slips because the floor is wet. I run out into the passage and I see my sister but she as well is not listening. She is pre-occupied and is following her husband out of the house. My husband then appears and is walking down the same passage. With all my strength I grab my husband and hold him against the wall. I tell him not to move and tell him my dream. My worry is that everyone is too busy to listen/not interested and then I wake up from my dream!

Immediately in the haze of coming out of the dream I hear the words whispered into my ear, circulating around me: Let all those who can hear, let them hear what you have seen!
