Dream - Something big going to happen soon? Will the Isaiah 17 prophecy concering destruction of Damascus be fulfilled?

Note the following is just speculation drawn from the symbolism in the dreams.

For the last several nights I have had dreams that may indicate something big is about to happen. In the first dream, God used the symbolism that he usually associates with me running late with my work which is writing articles. The last part of the dream, just prior to waking up, he said "emergency emergency" I have had a whole bunch of dreams lately where it seems like God is indicating that there is a huge amount of pressure and I need to hurry up. Perhaps because something big is going to happen.

Concerning the "emergency emergency" dream, I thought this might have something to do with the fact that I was slacking on my articles as I have had this similar symbolism in dreams several times in the past 3 weeks or so during this time period where I have stumbled as a Christian and almost fell back into sin. As a result I am not working as hard as I should be.

The night before last night I had a bad dream where someone was being tortured with fire. I had never been chastised quite this hard and I could tell God was furious and I think this might have something to do with an inappropriate post that I put on my blog and for getting into an immature argument where I was coming from a place of hate and not love when engaging in a debate with someone on a forum. Perhaps it also had to do with the post I posted about the possibility that the counterfeiting of the Gog and Magog war will start soon which I posted without permission. I'm not sure all I know is that I did something that made him furious.

This morning I had about 4 dreams in short succession. Unfortunately I only remember details of the last one but I believe the first 3 had similar themes to the last. I do remember however after the 2nd dream that I was trying to remember what it was about. I thought the message that he was trying to get across was that I was supposed to wake up and get out of bed. When I came to this realization I heard the song "Realization" by Ayreon playing in my head. Unfortunately I felt very comfortable and fell back asleep.

In this last dream that I do remember, I was cooking and stirring continually something on the stove that looked like gravy. There was another thing on the stove which also looked live gravy that maybe I was stirring as well though I don't remember. I accidentally spilled some of the gravy on the stove and my father (symbolic of God) told me to clean it up (the details and order get sketchy at this point). While cleaning this I became distracted and lost track of what I was doing. Next thing I remember was that my father was yelling at me for burning the gravy. I remember that I became very confused at this point. I think because he was referring to the other container (I seemed to be cooking using drinking glasses rather than a pot). I think I had burned the gravy in the other glass which I had ignored out of distraction. At this point I got angry and punched him in the jaw. He said "put on your seatbelt" and then I immediately woke up. I had tried to punch him in an earlier dream. This was in that time period where I came very close to blaspheming the holy spirit due to almost falling back into sin. Over a course of about a week I struggled very hard with certain aspects of what exactly God will be expecting me to do. I've been getting more and more insight into God's plan for me and its not going to be fun. As a result of the lessened motivation. I started returning to an old sinful thing that I used to do. As a result of this my mood started suffering and I was warned in my dreams that I was leaving myself open to demonic attacks. So I associate these violent impulses with demonic influence. I am never usually a violent person.

I'm not sure how to interpret the "put on your seatbelt" part. He uses a car to symbolize my path or journey as a Christian. When I had just become a Christian and was going through all sorts of emotional mood swings due to some of my own personal issues as well as trying to quit smoking, he always used a car or getting into a car wreck to show what would happen if I gave up and fell back into sin. For example, I had a dream after I had a bout of bad depression and rage while I was trying to quit smoking several months ago. In this dream I was driving and it had become dark. I ran into some sort of block while I was trying to park my car. I spent a long time trying to start my car to no avail. Eventually physical parts of my car started disappearing. Next thing I know I was at the junkyard and I asked the guy who worked there about my car. He said "It's number in life had been called" or something like that. I had another one where I asked God to scare me so I would not fall back into sin. In this dream I was driving up a big hill. I was nearing the top when I stopped. The next think I knew the car was careening backwards in reverse and I could not stop it. The breaks didn't work. I've had probably about 12 dreams where he uses a car to symbolize my path as a Christian.

On the other hand what did the two glasses of gravy that I was cooking on the stove symbolize? I think perhaps he was trying to say that I was distracted because of my lazyness and because I am only vaguely aware of what is happening in the world today because most of what I have been writing about lately is unrelated to what is happening in the world. When I woke up today though I noticed the following story. I posted an article a couple days ago where I said it looked like the counterfeit Gog and Magog war may take place soon due to the news about escalation of tensions with the middle east, especially Iran. Perhaps the two cups of gravy may represent the two different End Times wars. Gog and Magog war and the destruction of Syria which happens in Isaiah 17. Perhaps it is the destruction of Syria war which will happen soon rather than the Gog and Magog which would explain the symbolism of the gravy being burned in the cup I wasn't paying attention to.

U.S. closes Syrian embassy, presses Assad to step down

"BEIRUT (AP) – The U.S. closed its Syrian embassy Monday and Britain recalled its ambassador to Damascus in a dramatic escalation of Western pressure on President Bashar Assad to give up power, just days after diplomatic efforts at the United Nations to end the crisis collapsed." USAToday



Notice the following prophecy from Isaiah 17

“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken;[a]
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
3 The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.

4 “In that day it shall come to pass
That the glory of Jacob will wane,
And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
5 It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6 Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.


This may be why God wants me to hurry up and what he was alluding to with the whole emergency emergency thing.
