And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom; and Lot seeing them, rode up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground ... and the men said unto Lot,'hast thou here any besides son in law and thy sons and thy daughters and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out from this place: for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.'... And Lot went out and spake unto his sons in law which married his daughters, and said 'up, get you out
of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city'. But he seems as one that mocked unto his sons in law ... And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot saying,'Arise,take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest they be consumed in the iniquity of the city... Genesis 19:1,12-15
I had a dream that I was inside a house, standing in the large glassed-in front porch. There were others with me there. I looked outside and saw that the sky was grey, and realized we were standing in the porch, because a storm was approaching. I looked south and saw a large cluster of very dark, almost black, ominous clouds, which caused my heart to start pounding.
As I looked at the cluster of clouds, I noticed they were beginning to move and float towards town. When they reached the city limits, they dropped down to tree level and started drifting up the street to where we were. As the cluster of clouds neared where we were, I could hear an evil hissing and buzzing sound, kind of like water dripping on an open electrical wire. I also sensed in my spirit that the cloud cluster had eyes, and that something very evil was 'scoping things out'.
As soon as the clouds were directly in front of the house, we all stood perfectly still. You couldn't even hear us breathing.The 'spiritual eyes' in the cloud looked around and didn't see us, and so it continued past us and when it reached the lawn in between our house and the house next door, it turned and crossed the lawn between the two houses and headed for the ally. I ran through the house to look out the kitchen window and see where the cloud was going next.
The first thing I saw when I got to the window, was an asphalt playground across the ally, with a large gathering of people; milling around, drinking and visiting with each other. My first thought was "What are they doing our there? Don't they know it's going to storm?" Then I saw the cluster of dark clouds drift over to the crowd on the playground and drop down to head level and stop.
I looked around the crowd of people to see if anyone was paying attention to the dark clouds and noticed a beautiful bride mingling with the people. My impression was that this must be a wedding reception, but I couldn't imagine what they were doing out there with such a bad storm approaching.
Then I looked back at the dark clouds when I saw no one was paying attention, and I saw some huge, hairy, tarantula-like arms drop down out of the clouds, and one by one -- the arms began picking people up and breaking their necks and dropping them to the ground. Then the arms would move to another person and pick them up, break their neck and drop them to the ground.
The arms continued to do this -- totally oblivious to each person on the playground. I knew the killing wouldn't stop until every person was dead, and the sight was so horrible that I woke up -- with my heart pounding.
My understanding of the dream is that God's judgement is coming to the world soon. Those in the house with me are those listening to and walking obedient to the Lord; the porch being 'a point of decision' -- just as with Solomon's temple, the porch representing 'a point of decision' before we enter into the house or temple of the Lord -- a spiritual dwelling place of committment and obedience with the Lord.
The impending storm is God's coming judgement to earth, and the dark clouds are the enemy. The 'wedding reception' on the playground is symbolic of the Bride of Christ -- those who love God and serve Him, but are in spiritual reality, playing games with Him. We are at the point in time where the Lord is working with us to teach us dependence and obedience to Him and His leading. Those on the playground are enjoying life and unaware of the seriousness of the coming judgement,and unless they turn from their ways, the Lord will allow the enemy to destroy them.
My understanding also of this judgement, is that when our world system fails, and the anti-Christ steps into place and the one-world marking begins, many Christians will actually lose their salvation, because of not heading the warnings sent from God -- represented by the two angels (messengers) in the above-given Scriptures; the Spirit and the Bride, also known as the two witnesses in Revelations who lay dead in the street for a period of time. These two are going to be supernaturally awakened to fulfill God's plan of warning His people, and then when there are no more hearts to hear, judgement will fall.
Notice in the Scripture concerning Lot and his wife and two daughters, there were other daughters, and sons, who did not heed the warning, but in essence, mocked their father, and were destroyed, along with the city. We may be part of the 'family' of God, but if we are not listening to God's voice, we risk the possibility of being eternally lost if we accept the mark of the beast -- the taking of a number on our right hand or forehead, and will be lost along with the city, in the judgement that falls.
