Greetings Dear Brother - This morning I was dozing, going in and out
of sleep when I experienced a short vision. I was crossing over a
bridge and saw, to my right, a group of five vultures attempting to
eat a living, wildcat kitten. The kitten was at the edge of the
bridge precipice and a sudden move away from her tormentors would be
death as she would fatally fall. I immediately awakened and the Lord
asked me how I would save the kitten. After pondering that question
for a while the answer came to me. I would be interested to know what
you would do? Bless you and Marie - Texas.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
At my age (87) and time of life, I rarely move into dream and vision
interpretation anymore - even my own. I have felt the commission from
the Lord to prepare for printing the “Outlined Interlinear Greek NT
for Laymen” - and the “Through the Bible in a Year Daily
Devotional” takes precedence over this.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
I was about to suggest to my friend in Texas that he contact Adrian
Beale and Adam Thompson of Australia concerning this. Their book
“Dreams - The Divinity Code” - The Keys to Decoding Your Dreams
and Visions - <b><<a href="http://www.thedivinitycode.org/">www.thedivinitycode.org</a>></b>
with the help of their “The Metaphor Dictionary” - could bring
confirmation.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
But I sensed the Holy Spirit saying - “In this case - would you
like to ask Me for the interpretation your friend has requested?”
Following is in line with the way I go about receiving dream and
vision interpretation in which I have moved this way in the past. I
use what I call the “TTAQ” formula. For “T” - I find a
“Title” for the dream. For the second “T”, I seek its
“Theme”. For “A” - I look for the “feeling or emotion or
affection” that accompanies the dream. And for “Q” - I ask the
Holy Spirit for His Insight on it.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
So in line with this 4-fold formula, I asked the Holy Spirit for His
Insights. Immediately He reminded me of Joshua chapter 10. The
Gibeonites had just tricked Joshua in making a covenant treaty with
them. Three days later Israel discovered their trickery - but by then
it was too late to reverse the covenant witnessed by God. Shortly
afterwards 5 kings of that area turned against their former Gibeonite
friends because of the Covenant they now had with Israel. The
Gibeonites immediately sent messengers to Joshua - “O great
covenant brother - please come and help us. 5 kings - former friends
of ours - are about to attack us.”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
Israel complained, “Why did you have to make a covenant with those
God had set for destruction?” Too late, Joshua said. We failed to
consult Urim and Thummim in this case, just as with Ai - and were
deceived. But covenant is covenant. We now have no recourse but to
rescue the Gibeonites.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
Israel swiftly fell on the 5 kings and defeated them and saved the
Gibeonites - now their covenant friends. Furthermore - God performed
one of the greatest miracles in the Bible - at Joshua's command for
the sun to stand still, God heard and honored the voice of man! For
almost a day the sun stood still, until Joshua completed the full
defeat of these 5 kings!</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
This is what I heard the Holy Spirit say to me. The Gibeonites are
the wildcat kitten. The 5 kings are the 5 vultures. Joshua is the
Lord's representative in Israel to save the Gibeonites - the kitten.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
We are representatives of the Lord like Joshua, upon covenant basis -
and can <u>also</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> deliver all
those in covenant relationship with us, even Gibeonites by trickery -
or wildcat kittens. Marie and I again and again have seen victory on
behalf of covenant friends under attack of Satan, his angels, demons,
and human cohorts.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">This is the interpretation of the
Holy Spirit I believe God gave me for my friend. Whether it confirms
what he felt came to him, I do not know.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">But in the light of dreams and
visions - see Joseph and Daniel on behalf of Pharaoh and
Nebuchadnezzar. Both of their interpretations did not come from them,
but from God. Nevertheless, the above 2 empire rulers highly honored
Joseph and Daniel, because they were </span><u>true</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
interpreters on behalf of God.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">Most dreams and visions are
symbolical. Of the 40 or so recorded in Scripture, this is true. The
first 5 dreams of Matthew are literal - but this is the exception
rather than the rule. Parables and books like Daniel and Revelation,
are like dreams and visions, and require Holy Spirit insight for us
to understand.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<span style="text-decoration: none;">And we must notice that such
interpretations from God are heavily laced with Scripture. We need
like George Muller to be </span><u>much</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
in the Word to be accurate interpreters of the above. I fear that
many are too glib and light with dreams, visions, prophecy and
scripture interpretation. The Holy Spirit through James said, </span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“Be
</b></span><u><b>not</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
many teachers (or interpreters), my brethren, knowing that </b></span><u><b>we</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
(teachers and interpreters) shall receive </b></span><u><b>greater
condemnation</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>” </b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">James
3:1 (3:1-12). We will all appear before Christ one day following His
return - to answer at His B</span><u>E</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">ma
Judgment Seat for deeds like this done in the body! We need the “fear
of God” in us as we deal with His Word. Isaiah 66:2b (66:1-4) says,
</span><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“But to </b></span><u><b>this
man</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b> will I Jehovah
look, even to him that is </b></span><u><b>poor</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
and of a </b></span><u><b>contrite spirit</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>,
and that </b></span><u><b>trembles</b></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
at my word.” </b></span><span style="text-decoration: none;">This
was Ivan Panin's favorite verse to guide him in his attitude to God
and the Bible.</span></p>

One leader of a Presbytery meeting who evidently missed the truth in
his prophecy and was confronted by the pastor of the church
responded, “Well, you can't hit it all of the time!” How will
