Dream from 1974 – America in Darkness

–

I stepped out, and everything was gone.

–

I decided to write about a dream I had in 1974.

–

In the dream, I found myself in an army barracks that was completely empty, except for one lit up peace sign on the wall.

All the soldiers were gone.

I was alone in the building.

The peace sign was the only tiny bit of light in a very dark building.

–

I stepped outside, and everything outside was black.

It was more than black of night.

Everything was empty.

It was like nothing existed outside.

–

There were no people anywhere outside.

There was no plant life.

There was no animals.

There were no other buildings.

There were no rocks.

–

There was no sound.

Everything was quiet.

I stood there alone, looking into the distance.

–

I could see some mountains in the distance, and a tiny bit of light just to show the mountains were there, but not enough to see anything else.

It was like everything around me was gone.

Nothing existed any more.

–

I kept thinking, where did everyone go?

I did not see “destruction.”

I saw NOTHING.

It was if everything in existence had been vaporized, and there was no trace of life or civilization anywhere.

–

End of dream

–

–

Talking to a friend about this dream after all these years, he made a point I had not thought of until now, 40 years later.

He said, the only building left was the one I was in.

I survived, when nothing else in my sight did.

–

God has promised to be a shelter for the righteous.

He is my hiding place, my rock, and my high tower.

–

This world will be destroyed.

No one will be a winner in any conflict.

–

People will die from disease, war, pestilence, or due to the wrath of God.

–

Only those sheltered by God will have a chance to survive.

Your relationship with the world is irrelevant.

Your relationship with God is all that matters.

–

Seek the Lord while he may still be found!

Before it is too late.
