Tribulation Revival & Falling Away

I dreamed David and I (representing corporate bodies of the Man-child and Bride) were in a desert wilderness (the tribulation) ministering to the Israelites (a type of the larger body of Christ). We were standing high up on the side of a mountain (the mountain of the Kingdom of God) and I was to David's right. We were telling the Israelites who were standing at the base of the mountain what they needed to do to be sanctified and warning them of the judgments that were coming and that they needed to stay alert and be watchful because Christ is coming to be manifested through His people soon. (We seemed to be a type of Moses and Aaron in this dream. David looked like Moses but I knew it was him merged with Moses because of his voice. I looked like Aaron but with my voice.) (Aaron, representing the Bride, is a new thought for me but I can see that as a snap-shot type it certainly fits. Aaron was the second in command who was Moses' mouthpiece which God promised him. David, the Man-child, ruled over Jerusalem the Bride who was his mouthpiece to the people in the rest of the kingdom. Jesus, as the Man-child, sent out His closest disciples to bring the Word of the kingdom and John said, "He that hath the Bride is the bridegroom", calling these closest disciples, the next in command, the Bride. [Note: We are not saying that women in Jerusalem, the Bride, will be above God's command, "I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man". As in Jerusalem, men who dwelt in the capital city were David's cabinet and interior ministers, elders and representatives to the people, but the women were one with the men as helpmeets. The Bride, being female, is a type, to receive the seed of David and bear fruit. John called those disciples who went as elders with the word to all Israel, the Bride, but they were all men. Eve, in this dream, is sending prophetic revelation to the body through men.])

But many of them were growing weary and tired of hearing us say these things and they started to grumble and complain, waving us off and saying, "You keep saying the same things! These things are too hard and we are tired of waiting! He's not coming soon! " (A repetition of {Joh.6:60} Many therefore of his disciples, when the heard [this], said, This is a hard saying; who can hear it?) They lost patience, so they started to wander off and fall away. (Rev.16:15) Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. {Joh.6:66} Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.)

In the dream, it was those on the outer sides of the crowd who fell away, like a ring of people leaving the core that was in the center. The people on the outside of the crowd were loosely standing around and seemed to be swaying back and forth (Swaying to the right and then to the left, symbolizing the double-minded.) The ones in the center were tightly packed together and very focused on what we were saying. (Generally, to me the outer group represents people who are already on the edges and not all the way devoted to discipleship. They are only willing to go so far into the wilderness until it gets too hard or requires too much sacrifice and then they turn back.) (Those who turned back from the wilderness to Egypt in their heart. The falling away at a time of revival.)

I remember feeling saddened and concerned at all these people losing their desire to persevere and becoming discouraged and giving up. (Just like Moses and Aaron.) I turned to David and said, "What are we going to do? They are falling away! " But David said something reassuring to me, that all we can do is pray for them and he reminded me to stay focused on those who remained with us, to keep bringing the same message. (Joh.8:31) Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples; (32) and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (33) They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? (34) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. (35) And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. ... (47) He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.

In this dream, David was very focused on the center core group and determined to shepherd them, that he wouldn't allow the jeers from the disillusioned Israelites to distract him from preaching the truth to the ones who loved it. We were left with a smaller portion of those who were determined to persevere with us and stay watchful and hold fast to the truth of the Word and the warnings we were telling them. Then I woke up. (Jesus knew that the core group were the ones the Father had chosen and that they would bear fruit. He also knew that the lukewarm were destined to fall away when tried, in order to purify the body. This kept Him from being distracted. So too it will be with the end-time Davids.)

I think, in general, that as things get more difficult in our society, economically, and people are forced more out into a dry desert wilderness, that the people on the outer edges of discipleship will either fall away or they will press in closer to the center where the sustaining water of the truth of the Word is being directed and received.

It wasn't strange to me that I was like Aaron and David like Moses in this dream because the Father has shown me in several dreams David looking like or being Moses. But, also, Father gave me a dream once that I was standing in the olive green bathtub of my dad's mobile home, dressed in shepherds' clothing, facing east as the sun was rising and my arms were outstretched toward the east, in longing for my Savior to come, when suddenly a staff began to form in the palm of my hand and extend upward and downward. I wrapped my fingers around it to take hold of it and the top part of the staff started to bud and produce ripe almonds, like the rod of Aaron did in the Old Testament. (The corporate body of the Bride includes men who are under the authority of the Man-child ministers who will minister to the rest of the people of God.) (Num.6:22-27) And the Lord spoke to Moses,saying: Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you, And be gacious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. So they shall put my Name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them. (The Bride, like Esther, shepherded the people of God under Mordecai, the Man-child. This is also like Jerusalem the Bride, was the capital city over Israel and was under David, the Man-child.)

In my time with the Father this morning (not really thinking on this dream), I asked Him to share with me what was on His heart. I opened my Bible and my finger fell on (Eze.3:21) Nevertheless if you warn a righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.

I asked for another verse to get a better understanding of what Father was saying and my finger fell on (Zec.7:12) Yes they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. I then realized that the Father was giving me verses to confirm the dream above that He had given me this morning. This is a warning for those on the edge of the crowd who refuse to hear.

I then asked for a scripture for "David and I" in this dream and my finger fell on (2Sa.22:21) The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness: According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me. (This exact verse is in Psalm 18:20 and was given to me recently when I asked the Lord, "Why would you do this for me?" regarding personal promises He gave me.)

Later I asked the Father for a few more scriptures for this dream: (Act.28:9) And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured ... (I believe this is in reference to the core group of the crowd.) (Yes, a great healing revival will go forth through the core group at this time to confirm the Word, as multitudes will be swept into the Kingdom.) I then asked for a second verse and my finger was on (Gal.4:9) but now knowing God, or rather being known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and poor elements, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? (This is in reference to the outer edges of the crowd who wanted to return to Egypt [or apostate religion in a falling away].) I saw this dream as an encouraging dream because I took it as a promise to us, showing us the end from the beginning again. Ultimately, Christ won't lose any of those who belong to Him. The Father already has His mark on us. We are sealed.
