Subject: Are our dreams significant? |
Bible Note: Are our dreams significant? 'Generally speaking, dreams are not particularly significant and should never be used as a guide for spiritual direction, certainly not in a way that would contradict the plain teaching of Scripture. In the Bible and in the progress of revelation, God revealed Himself to the prophets through dreams and visions to communicate His truth. Speaking of this and contrasting it with the final revelation through His Son, the author of Hebrews wrote: 'God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world (Heb. 1:1-2). 'The “many portions and ways” refers to the various means God used to communicate His message to His people, but with the coming of the Son we have God’s final revelation that has been passed on to us through the Lord Jesus and His disciples as He promised in John 16:12-15. See also Hebrews 2:1-4. This completed revelation is found in the Scripture, the faith once and for all revealed (Jude 3). I do not believe God speaks to us today through dreams, certainly not as He did in the Old Testament so that what is dreamed becomes on a par with the Bible...'
