24 Carats Golden Ring Dream

Background After praying for conformation for our prophecy, Prophecy 2012 and 2013 and Beyond I had the following dream (for background you should read it): I dreamt I saw an antique shop and without any particular reason I entered it; may be out of curiosity. I saw a glass counter and went to it. There were a man and a woman (two angels that I have encountered a few times before, which I only know as Gloria) behind it. I saw different small antiques. Then my eyes caught a stunning, yet a very unique ancient classic style golden signet ring. It was blue bronze in color as if it came out of fire. It was huge and could cover my entire marriage ring finger having a leaf-motive that spiraled around the ring with a lip at the end. I thought to myself if it was a pure gold authentic ancient signet ring it must be unaffordable expensive. I asked if it was made of pure gold. They said it was pure gold (24 carats) and as if they knew my thoughts told me I could afford it. I took the ring and examined it and saw on the inside the number nine engraved. They assured me that the number on the inside has no bearing whatsoever on its purity and told me an expert examined the ring and issued a certificate of authenticity and certified that it was made of 24 carats of gold. The next moment I was in a large entertainment room of a house. I had the impression that it was my mother-in-laws house, though in the natural she does not possess such a house. I also saw friends of my mother-in-law but I was not familiar with them. It appeared that she was glad to see me. Then she said something strange, It is the last time that we will see each other. It is farewell. It touched me deeply because though we are not staying with them I felt we could still visit each other.

Then I saw on the right-hand side of the room my husband and sister sitting at a large wooden table. As I approached them I was aware that the ring was in a small box in my hand. I could not recall the time I have acquired it or what I have paid as I had very little cash on me. Then I showed this unusual signet ring to my sister and told her that it was made of pure gold and that it was inexpensive. When my sister inspected the ring she pointed out the engraved nine (9) on the inside of the ring. Then she asked me, What prove do you have that it is 24 carat (pure) gold. I reached for the guarantee of the ring but I saw that it was torn into two pieces. I found the other piece on the table, matched the two pieces and proofed to her the quality of the golden ring. Then I found, which seemed to be miraculously, a scroll in the inside of the ring. It was not a duplicate guarantee but an additional document that confirmed the purity of the golden seal ring with some other additional information about the ring. Then as we sat at the table I saw a bottle of expensive matured red wine. The color of it was that of dark red blood and I was convinced that this wine was unique and different than any other wine . I told my husband that we must use it for Holy Communion (we daily partake of the Holy Communion). On the one side he was happy but on the other side he was concerned that the wine contained alcohol (our family totally abstains from alcohol). I decided then to keep it and use it for daily Holy Communion for myself. The next moment I saw myself in a long dress. I went to a clothing shop to watch or buy something. Then I saw myself in a new long but simple dress. It was not my style but it was neat. I was thinking, I am glad I am in this dress because it is right before God. Then I woke up. Interpretation Ancient emperors used signet rings to seal imperial decrees, instructions or letters, which were normally recorded in the laws of the empire so that the purpose of

the decree or instruction could not be, altered (Esther 1). You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring no one can revoke (Esther 8:8). Also read: And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel (Daniel 6:17). The message of the signet ring is that God is about to seal His servants (Revelation 7:2-3) and the unchanging God will not alter His purpose. The seal of God is the Spirit of the Father (the seven spirits of God) that raised Jesus from the dead, which will also quicken our mortal bodies. The seal of the Holy Spirit that we have now is the firstfruits of the Spirit or deposit on our full redemption even the redemption of our body (Romans 8:23). And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30, emphasis added). The day of redemption refers to the redemption of our mortal body. However, when the angel will mark us with Gods seal on our foreheads the Spirit of God will change our humble, mortal body of flesh into the likeness of Christs resurrected body and we will become the manifested sons of God or the sons of the resurrection (Luke 20:36, NKJV). Than the four winds of the earth will be released which will bring much chaos to the earth. Then I saw another angel [possibly the Lord] coming up from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it had been granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall seal the servants of our God on their foreheads" (Revelation 7:2-3). The ring was made of 24 carats (pure) gold and inside the ring was engraved the number nine. In the dream the number nine does not carry much weight; the number was engraved and has nothing to do with the substance of the ring, but only signifies that it belongs together with the

number 24, which signifies the word of the Lord that came to Haggai on 24 th of the ninth month saying, I struck you with blight and mildew and hail in all the labors of your hands; yet you did not turn to Me, says the Lord. Consider now from this day forward, from the twentyfourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the Lords temple was laid consider it: Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. Like Israel in the desert God humbled us and test us that He may see if we will love Him. In it we learn about humility and to humble ourselves before the Lord and judge our own hearts lest the Lord will judge us with the world. As we exercise ourselves in humility before the Lord we will become humble. Why? The Lord resists the proud and arrogant but gives grace to the humble. If we never learn to be humble how we will receive the higher blessings of God.

But from this day I will bless you. And again the word of the Lord came to Haggai on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying, Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I will shake heaven and earth, I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride them; the horses and their riders shall come down, everyone by the sword of his brother. In that day says the Lord of hosts, I will take you Zerubbabel [type of Christ] My servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you, says the Lord of hosts (Haggai 2:21a, 23). Twenty four and nine together means the Lord guarantee His promise. He will restore His house and He will judge the Church and the nations in the time of great judgment and tribulation but He will also bless His people.
And also Zechariah 4:1-14, Jewish Publication Society Bible: And the angel that spoke with me returned, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. And he said unto me: 'What seest thou?' And I said: 'I have seen, and behold a candlestick all of gold [seven churches], with a bowl upon the top of it [oil in the vessels

of the wise virgins], and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes, yea, seven, to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof; and two olive-trees by it [two witnesses], one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.' And I answered and spoke to the angel that spoke with me, saying: 'What are these, my lord?' Then the angel that spoke with me answered and said unto me: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying: 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain before Zerubbabel? Thou shalt become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings of Grace, grace, unto it.' Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying: 'The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. For who hath despised the day of small things? Even they shall see with joy the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, even these seven, which are the eyes of the LORD, that run to and fro through the whole earth.' Then answered I, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive-trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?' And I answered the second time, and said unto him: 'What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden oil out of themselves?' And he answered me and said: 'Knowest thou not what these are?' And I said: 'No, my lord.' Then said he: 'These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.' In two dreams we have seen the two witnesses were Christ and Moses (I do not argue that there may be other applications also). The two witnesses will be two groups (Jews and Gentiles) of people that will be joined into one (in Christ) in the time of their prophecy. As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions. Then take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.

Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again (Ezekiel 37:16-17, 22, emphasis added). Presently, the Jews know that they are Israel but do not know the Messiah and Ephraim do not know that they are Israel but they know the Messiah. This will change. (It has nothing to do with British-Israel theology. I do not support it but believe it is by Gods grace and not by race).
The color of the ring was blue bronze as if it came out of fire means the Lord will purify us, as through fire. He will sit as a refiners fire and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver (Malachi 3:3a). And also: Many shall be purified, made white, and refined (Daniel 12:10a). My son also had a dream where God took his ring and told him not to worry about returning it. It contains too many impurities and after He has totally purified it, He will return it. The ring was huge and could cover my entire marriage ring finger signify a marriage with royal authority. For as a young man espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee [the Lord]; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee (Isaiah 62:5, JPS). The leaf-motive that spiraled around the ring with a lip at the end shows that the Lord will come in a new fresh move with healing in His wings. The pending outpouring will be like none other before it. It will start off with the manifestation of the sons of God. When their mortal bodies will put on immortality, their bodies that are dead to God will become alive to Him and their soul that lives in their blood, which is enmity against God, will be perfected. The sons of God will become physical flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone of His resurrected body; we will experience the marriage feast of the Lamb. Sadly, the foolish virgins will not be partakers but they will be purified

by fire of tribulation. It is a truth that is rejected by many in the Church in favor of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. They are so close to the truth yet so far. The emphasis is not about the sons of God but about the ingathering of the harvest. For this time they are prepared to share in the joy of the bridegroom. Our Lord has purchased many by paying the ultimate price and now He wants His reward; and He will have it. It will also be the harvest of everything that was sown, since the beginning of man, both good and bad. Though I knew that I hardly had any money on me, the ring was affordable. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich (Revelation 3:18a, emphasis added). And also: For thus says the Lord: You have sold yourself for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money (Isaiah 52:3, emphasis added). And again: Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price (Isaiah 55:1, emphasis added). The entertainment room (carnal activities) in the house (church) of my mother-in-law refers to the traditional church busy with their personal programs impressing many through their entertaining way of presenting the Gospel and also making a lucrative living out of it. I cannot generalize for not all of them are missing the mark. My mother-in-laws acquaintances are the members and associates of the Church. They are strangers to me (a people with a different vision), which means we do disagree concerning certain Biblical truth, especially about eschatology. It appeared that she was glad to see me. Though Christians may differ in scripture interpretation love must always dominate relationships amid the ecclesia. Then she said something strange, It is the last time that we will see each other. It is farewell. It touched me deeply because though we are not staying with them I felt

we could still visit each other. Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus answered him, Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward (John 13:36). You can only enter into places in God for which you have faith for. The resurrection is one of the stumbling blocks which is hard to believe with your heart; easy to believe with your head. In the Old Testament the sons of the prophets prophesied to Elisha about his master that will be taken away, yet after it they implored Elisha to allow them to search for him. When Jesus was raised, though he told his disciples various times about it they did not believe the women when they told them that the Master has risen. Thomas did not believe his fellow apostles when they told him the Lord is alive. Today we believe we will be raised at the last day but today we cannot believe to become sons of the resurrection before the Lords coming, like Enoch and Elijah and those that were raised with the Lord during His resurrection. The two documents (repeat of the guarantee) is because the thing is established by God and He will shortly bring it to pass. The bottle of expensive matured red wine means we should keep taking daily communion in remembrance of the Lord. In a sense the bottle of wine also reminds us that He will drink the fruit of the vine again (with us) in His Fathers kingdom. The wine also reminds us of the grape harvest. Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the nine month, from that day that the foundation of the Lords temple was laid consider it: Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you (Haggai 2:19b). The color of it was that of dark red blood and He will also tread the winepress of His wrath. Clothes that we wear refer to the nature of our spiritual preparedness. The long new simple dress that is right before God reminds us to walk in modesty and humility before God and men.

NOTE: Dreams, visions and prophecy are given by the Holy Spirit to reveal the present or future strategic or tactical will of the Lord and schemes of the enemy. Dreams are given to plan and prepare, and for intercession and prayer purposes, and not for imparting doctrine. The Christian Bible is complete and sufficient for doctrine and no additions, subtractions or alterations will come from God. All Scriptures is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly prepared for every good work (2 Timothy 3:1617). Dreams and visions may illuminate doctrine that is taught in Scripture, but not clearly understood. Peters trance is an example that illuminated both the will of God, and biblical doctrine that the Gentiles also were granted repentance unto life, but which had not yet understood by the church. Dreams and visions from God will never contradict the Bible.
