Dream: All Those We Leave Behind

Around three weeks ago, the Lord had me suffer the most terrible sorrow in my heart: and this was not a sorrow of personal loss, but a sorrow that felt like the whole world was going off into a black hole in the worst tragedy the world has ever seen. In other words, it felt somewhat like the whole universe is about to die and I must feel the whole universe’s pain.
After a couple days with this sorrow and wrestling with God as to what it meant, He gave me a dream about the rapture.
Here is how the dream went:
The world was ignorant about what was about to happen, and they were going about their business. But the church was not ignorant and we were expecting the rapture. We even knew that it would go by time zones; “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee,” Revelation 3:3. Then I was looking at the clock, indoors. And I somehow received full knowledge that all around the world, these people were going up in their turn. The rapture had arrived! After each successive time zone came closer to me, I simply looked at the clock. But then came the exact moment I was supposed to go. And the moment passed: I had been left behind! Instead of panicking, I looked around and immediately found some of my relatives. They too had been left behind. Once again, I did not panic and I said, we should look out for “what is about to happen.” I talked to my father about security and whether or not we would need a shotgun near the door. Meanwhile, the people were still walking around in the streets not realizing what had happened. But I knew that lawlessness was about to break out everywhere, and it would not stop and that everyone who did not comply with the beast system would suffer all kinds of deprivation. The worldwide church intercessions for peace and justice would have ceased entirely! The man of lawlessness would be taking over all nations. Lawless. Also, we would likely starve, or something worse. Right after I mentioned the gun to my father, the dream ended.
After the Dream:
When this dream was over, I was too disturbed in my heart and soul and in spirit to even pray, and I had to immediately reach out and ask people to pray for me. When one person responded back and we were able to have a conversation, my peace gradually returned to me. But I could not rest until I began calling the people from my dream. We prayed together that we would be counted worthy to escape all the things that are coming on on the earth: “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man,” Luke 21:36.
I am relating this dream again today because after about three weeks the sorrow has returned! I know this sorrow too well now: it is the precise sorrow of the Lord for those He is leaving behind. It is the end-of-the-world sorrow and it is truly horrible! Please do not miss the departure of the faithful.
Further Review:
Why the Lord chose to show a church that hypothetically knows the “hour” of His return I do not know, but I do know this:
“The lord of that [the unfaithful] servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth,” Matthew 24:50-51.
Please repent and notice how in my dream, I was only watching for myself! When I was awake again, I realized that it is time to care more and pray more intentionally for others to be ready. We will not be distracted by heaven at the moment of rapture. I believe we will be noticing all those we leave behind.
One last note: there was one other time that I felt this sorrow. It was when the Korean pastors’ wives choir sang for us, and as they hit the AMEN at the end of one of their songs I also felt as if it were the judgment! And it was the same painful feeling.
When you feel the end times sorrow for those left behind, you will never forget it!
Even so Lord, Amen.
May God help us to be the faithful messengers and leave behind no regrets.
