Holy War 5/15/05

A Dream... Holy War? from 5/15/05

I invite ANYONE to comment or interpret on this one. And I do mean anyone.

5/15/05
Perhaps due to the fact I went to see the movie Kingdom of Heaven last night, or perhaps the Lord was using that to prepare me for the dream so I would better understanding of it.

Scene
We had a Young President (in his late 30's-early 40's), it could have even been President Bush. The President was distraught because holy war seemed to be showing up world wide and was forcing the US to get involved in major offenses across the world. It was now at our door step and as location after location was fighting for holiness, it was now time for the US to decide. If we ignored the holy wars and did nothing, it would almost certainly admit definite defeat in the political world rendering the US powerless with world leaders. If we jumped into the holy wars, it would most definitely commit us to WW3. The president agonized over how to politically diffuse the scenario, however, all seemed already set in motion.

Scene
People who had been fighting, not necessarily soldiers in the war; neighbors, co-workers, etc.. were pulling together to fend our town, cities, and our borders. I kept having repeated fighting bouts with this person who went from Friend to fighting me. I could hardly see at times. Every time this individual got close to me to fight I would lose some of my vision, temporarily, but have enough vision to fend off their attempt to fight me. These fights started with us standing in grassy area at night with 100's of people around, seemingly going about their business and not paying much attention to us. We had our shirts off were either barefoot or were wearing pull on styled slipper shoes. It was much like cage fighting. The man whom I was fighting had a Friend with him who was married. The married man's wife was there and seemed to be pulling the strings of the men who were instigating the fight. The fight rolled us into the water. A beach like area in some places with very shallow water, then to areas that were midriff with water, to areas that seemed more like flooded parking lots near a large city... to being in extremely deep water with waves going up and down where you could hardly see the land. As the fighting (me defending myself from his running by me and throwing bareknuckled punches at me with his fists clenched as if in a tight narrow 'c' shape - like making a claw shape with your hand ... he would run by me and jump as he was trying to hit me and continued running past me to circle around me and do the same again). The dream continued from the dark grassy into the water, there were still people all around especially young children from the ages of 2 to 7. They seemed to be parent less, or if their parents were with them, they seemed dazed and not giving their children guidance. As I was forced into the deeper water, I didn't think I was going to make it back to land. The waters were thick with people who were jumping in and landing on other people... at one point I was forced under by a couple of children who had jumped on top of me. As I struggled to get to the surface, I noticed several very young children who were in the water and appeared to be drowned or be very close to it. At one point we were bouncing with the waves and a wave helped to carry me to shallow waters. In the process I saw, as if a vision, what appeared to be a scripture carved out of a piece of wood that talked about the Lord unleashing an evil, or a death of some kind upon the people. I want to say it was written in Hebrew, though I seemed to be able to read it. It was something prophetic... death was a key word, evil was a key word. When I got to shallow waters the men that were together, one of them the combatant I had been struggling with, and the wife of the other man, came to me. The wife of the man who did not engage me in fighting came to me and hugged me, we exchanged words of friendship, we knew each other, and the man who had been fighting me came and now showed kindness to me as if he were forced to fight with me. I told him I could not see him very well when he was fighting me and attempting to strike me. He demonstrated verbally and with motion of his hands how he was attempting to hit and hurt me.

As we walked we came across a set of train tracks. Kids were everywhere and did not seem to be guided by parents. As we crossed the tracks ( 3 sets) I fell on one of them and had to roll to avoid being hit by a train. As I did so, I was pushing children off the tracks. I looked back behind me to see a young child on a tricycle almost get hit by the train as people were yelling for the children to get off the tracks. The train came to a dead stop (from my left) just as it appeared the train was going to run over the boy. About 6 children were trying to get out of the way of the other 2 trains coming. They did, but just barely as we yelled to them to get off the tracks. As this was happening in the dream, simultaneously, I was having a conversation with the other man that people were banding together to fight the impending doom that was headed our way. The people were running, scattering from the doom that was coming. It was evil and things were set in motion. Holy war is coming and our borders were needing defending.

Scene
Again our president flashed before me and he did appear young, about 36, and he was agonizing and running his hands into his hair and pulling on it as he was frustrated and trying to determine the best direction of our country. I heard the word Hezbollah several times and even woke up with the word on the for front of my mind. I saw different countries and locations on a map that were highlighted with a single red light to show their locations .They were lighting up to show the countries that were being forced to get involved in confrontations. The president said "If we commit to this one, it will be Holy war"

Interpretation (interpreted the morning of the dream as I was still feeling the emotion of the dream.)
I see a similar contrast between the two scenes - the president was being forced to commit to fighting, as was I as the man kept coming at me to fight and I would have to fend him off. Holy war, and the vision of the scripture engraved in wood keeps coming to mind. The wood was 3 planks of a tree that had been affixed together and then engraved/carved upon, with a word in red... the word eludes me at the moment. The basic interpretation (within the dream) was that it said something evil was being unleashed or was to be unleashed. A Revelations styled prophecy. Working on trying to remember the scripture...
