“And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Matthew 24:3 Isaiah 46:9-10 establishes a broad understanding of God and His eternal purpose.

The Role of Wise Counsel in Interpreting Dreams and Visions

“Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it. “In a dream, a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, While they slumber in their beds, then He opens the ears of people, ….
