Bible Question: I have dreams and what i dream comes true what does it mean? |
Bible Answer: nae-nae, I would first advise that you consider 1 John 4:1: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." You want to make sure to get a biblical perspective on dreams. In other words, what does scripture say about them. You can do a word study on "dream" and "dreams". As a matter of observation, the books of the OT that have the most references about dreams are Genesis and Daniel. There are numerous other OT references as well. Interestingly, there are very few NT descriptions of dreams. Most are refering back to the OT! In Matthew 2, we have both the Magi and Joseph being warned by God in dreams. Short of this, the NT tells us little about dreams and their merit as a method for God communicating to us. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
