Lose Life To Gain Life
Jennifer Giaimo - 1/11/08
In a dream I was set in what appeared to be the
medieval time. There were nobles and peasants.
(Nobles are the rich, demon-possessed, land
owners, like those who rule the people today; the beast. Peasants
are "the poor in spirit," those who serve with no worldly rights of
their own. {Mt.5:3} Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.) There
were some peasants who "worked" along-side with the nobles; it was
clear that they were doing this so they would be accepted by the
nobles, or be counted as "on their side" if anything ever went
wrong. (Many Christians seek the favor of the
rich politicians and lawmakers but not God.) One character
who stood out clearly to me was a heavy-set man, and I thought right
away that he was a friar. (Apostate religious
leaders seek political power and favor.) He was always
working with the nobles behind the scenes.
(The false prophet seeking the favor of the beast but not the Lord.)
The peasants were getting fearful as information
started to leak out that the nobles were going to be eliminating
all the peasants. (Just as Rev.13 says of
the Christians -- they either become members of the beast through
the mark or they will attempt to kill them.) They only wanted
the nobles to exist. There was panic everywhere. The nobles
started to torture and kill the peasants and you could see the
bodies placed up for everyone to see. (Coming
persecution of the poor of this world in the tribulation.) I
was walking along a path (not fearful at all of the nobles seeing
me) and saw that the heavy-set friar was talking to two nobles.
They were up on what seemed to be a platform. It was clear that he
thought he would be spared these atrocities, since he had worked
with them. (The apostate religious leaders
are Judases and will betray their people. Like the harlot they will
curry the favor of the beast in hopes of saving their life in this
world.) The noble in front of him leaned in as if to whisper
something, and then I saw the Friar's face change. I knew he was
being tortured by the pained expression that was on his face. I
kept walking but as I was about to pass I saw that the nobles pushed
him; he was in something like a hanging cage. I saw that they had
disemboweled him, as his intestines were hanging out and swinging
behind him. (The harlot is used by the beast
until they have served their purpose, as it has been throughout
history, but the beast shall devour the harlot.)
Then I appeared to be at some sort of game. The
nobles had all the peasants dressed in silly costumes and playing
some kind of sport. (Like the Roman games
in the coliseums.) They were doing this as entertainment for
themselves. I looked down and saw that I was in a costume
and felt a voice inside tell me to take off the costume and
run. (The costume is that which makes us to
appear as sons of men when in reality we are sons of God. {Rom.8:19}
For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the
revealing of the sons of God. {Rom.13:11} And this, knowing the
season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for
now is salvation nearer to us than when we [first] believed. {12}
The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of
light. {13} Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling
and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and
jealousy. {14} But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make
not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].)
There was not anywhere to hide but I did as I was
told. I stepped back a bit so I was beside this shed, and took
the costume off. (Putting off the sinful
nature of this world; willing to be different than the world and to
lose our life. {Mt.16:24} Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross, and follow me. {25} For whosoever would save his
life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake
shall find it. {26} For what shall a man be profited, if he shall
gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give
in exchange for his life?)
I looked behind me to where I was supposed to run
and saw that there was wilderness in the near distance. I
knew I had to get to that wilderness and I would be safe.
(The place of God's provision and protection
in the tribulation.) There was one man that worked for the
nobles who was right at the edge of this wilderness, but he was in
the middle of a task. I knew I had to just go even though he was
there and focused on his task. At that moment a girl came up by me
and said she wanted to be saved too. I told her to take her
costume off and we would run to the wilderness.
(To trust in God's salvation.)
At this point I
was at a different vantage point and I saw the girl come up to me
but the really weird part is that I saw a male talking to her and
telling her to take her costume off. So that means that I was
the male. (After Jennifer took the costume
off it was Christ in her doing the speaking, telling the girl to put
off the old life.) Then I was back in the situation and
looking to go to the wilderness. Then I woke up.
(We are almost there.)
I asked the Lord for some info on the dream and I opened to
(Rev.12:13,14) And
when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he
persecuted the woman that brought forth the man child.
And
there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that
she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of
the serpent.
