| Goliath Tiger fish caught by Jerry Wade of River Monsters |
A pastor of a Baptist church told me of a dream that he had. After listening to the account of his dream, even though he did not make any claims that he thought it was from God, I felt that it may possibly be a warning for his church and many churches across America. On the same night I also had a dream and I feel that my dream may foretell of a way of escape to what the pastor foresaw in his dream. Before I relay to you the dreams let me state that the Pastor’s church, which is located on the East Coast, is in the process of putting up a new church sign. The sign has been purchased, but they are now trying to obtain a permit and a contractor to have the sign installed.
The Pastor’s Dream
In his dream the pastor saw that his church sign had been installed at a gas station in another state—New Jersey. At the gas station he saw a large Texaco sign up high, and his sign was installed beneath it. But the church’s sign was crooked, with one part of the sign hanging down. Then he saw a large gust of wind come and blow down his sign causing it to come crashing down, busting it into pieces. The pastor then stood there in bewilderment wondering who had authorized this.
My Dream
I dreamt that I was in a boat fishing and I cast my line out into the water with just a silver hook and a weight—no bait. I put the rod in the holder and almost instantly the rod went down fiercely. I took hold of the rod and fought the fish and was able to land it. The fish had huge teeth and was very large, long and silvery—I think I said “it’s a monster!” I did not know what kind of fish it was—I had never caught one like it before (Searching the net for “monster fish”; the fish in my dream was similar to the one pictured above). I brought the fish into the boat and was a little afraid of it because of the teeth, but was able to get the hook out and victoriously held it up for all to see. I also thought to myself that the fish must have saw the shininess of the silver hook and that is why it bit. I was debating whether to release it, keep it, or whether it was even legal to keep.
My Interpretations
The Texaco sign being high up could be a sign that gas prices are going to be going up “very high.” If this occurs it will most likely further cripple the economy, which may in turn make it difficult for churches, which rely on donations, to survive as represented by the crooked sign. We are all aware of the escalating turmoil in the Middle East that could cause gas prices to rise. As a matter of fact, in the dream the sign was in New Jersey, and if you draw a line from the pastor’s church to the Middle East it goes through New Jersey. Also, I was also able to draw a line from the church to Syria, which went through a Texaco refinery in New Jersey. Let’s not forget that New Jersey and the location of the church are in the Mid Atlantic—the middle of the eastern coast of the USA—the middle east of the USA—a possible illusion to the Middle East. I believe the gust of wind that destroyed the sign is most likely foretelling of another economic impacting judgment that will destroy many churches. This could be why many pastors and Christians will be left bewildered by these events, wondering how these things could happen.
Think it could never happen? These experts think differently;

I believe my dream shows a possible way to be victorious over the coming economic judgments—represented by catching the huge trophy fish. What was the bait that caught the fish? A shiny silver colored hook—thus a possible way to overcome the coming financial difficulties may be with owning silver.
I shared the rough draft of this post with a friend and this is what he wrote;
So…I agree with your analysis of your own dream about the silver as meaning physical silver. The fish had teeth to show it was a scary time to many people, especially to those with no preparations. Just because the fish had teeth doesn’t mean it eats you, although scary. As believers, we have access to the Father and resources we can draw on from our heavenly account. It means getting real with God and operating in real faith to see results–not merely wishful thinking. The kingdom of heaven operates by sowing and reaping. Many people have the sowing part down real well, but they don’t have the reaping part down well, and that grieves the Father. That reaping process is by active faith in action. The silver hook got you the fish and provided sustenance even in that scary time (fish with big teeth).
“Many pastors and Christians will be left bewildered by these events.” yes, but they don’t have to be.
BTW; many financial advisors recommend that a portion of savings should be allocated to ownership of physical precious metals.
The morning after hearing about the pastor’s dream I randomly opened my Bible to Jeremiah 16 and 17. Here are a few interesting tidbits. Notice the double reference to double destruction, the word pastor, and fishing. As a matter of fact as far as I know, they are the only 2 chapters in the KJV where those words appear together, Hmm…
Jeremiah 16
9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;…
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The Lord.
Jeremiah 17
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Conclusion; I think the pastor’s dream foretells of economic judgments coming to America that will destroy many churches. I do not know when this will occur, but it could be related to the timing of the installation of the actual church sign in DE, which may be installed very soon. Or the timing could also be in relation to our treatment of Israel as alluded in the verses above—because they have defiled my land—that it may occur after the USA has betrayed Israel and her land. Why else would many churches in America deserve judgment? There is SIN in the camp; adultery, fornication, drunkenness, sensuality, selfishness, arrogance, lying, satanic music, worldliness, etc. Many churches in America are a disgrace to the name of Christ—judgment is coming—and as the scriptures tell us, judgment starts with the house of God!
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Pet 4:17.
However, as mentioned by my friend above; “Many pastors and Christians will be left bewildered by these events.” yes, but they don’t have to be. I think my dream may foretell of a way to possibly weather the coming storm—buying physical silver. In fact I called the fish a “monster,” there is boxes of 500 ounces of silver coins called a “monster box.” (Note: I am not associated with the silver industry, nor is any of this to be considered as financial advice.) That is the info I have at this time, now the choice of what to do is yours.
Here are some more words of the Lord from Jeremiah 17 to keep in mind.
5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

You forgot to disable comments, Master.
I don’t think your personal dream relates to economy or buying physical silver. After reading it here is my interpretation.
You will lead someone to Christ through the message of redemption. This person is not a typical person you would expect to accept the salvation and they might scare you off. You will feel a victory for winning this person over to Christ, but after that moment has passed you will be unsure of what to do with this person. You feel responsible for the person but you don’t know whether to keep him, send him back, or if it is even right for him to stay.
Silver is the color of redemption and because the hook and the fish’s teeth are both silver I think this means that this person is going to be drawn to the message of redemption and have a great ability to understand it and possibly even preach about the message of redemption.
I don’t discount your biblical reading of Jeremiah 16. I think it further emphasizes the point that this person is going to be someone who practices the occult and worships after false gods. Remember Matthew 4:19 where Jesus says that “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Anyway that is my two cents.
I had a dream once that the webmaster of BIN was satan. Care to interpret that one?
And to this, I must always ask thumpers this simple question:
If I kick you and beat you, and burn your house down – then carry you to the emergency room, bring you back, and park a mobile home on the remains of your previous house, DOES THIS MAKE ME A HERO to you doo?
If not, then why do you worship this ‘god’ who insists on kicking you, beating you, abusing you; only to offer promises to you that you don’t ever see, taste, touch, feel; and to be quite honest, you don’t even know if the one promise he never does more than simply put into words through the mouths of others, will ever actually come true? Wow, you get more from a used car salesman, and you don’t trust him further than you can throw him.
Seriously people – the Olympians (Zeus, Apollo, Diana, etc.) were FAR MORE rewarding to humans than the Jewish god ever has been (after all, is Israel REALLY a significant reward to ANYONE, even those who reside there?). Clearly, Zeus, Apollo, and the rest had their time in myth, came, and went. Do you really think the Christian-Jewish god is going to fare any better?
You might want to read ‘the Epic of Gilgamesh’ before you answer that. It was THERE, that the first copy of what later came to be the Bible was written. The Bible is nothing but a photocopy of that story, which also happens to be about 1,000 years older (and it was old in the telling, when it was written down!)
I live in NJ. Right before Obama was elected,,I had a crazy dream. I was on top of the roof of my building with my kid. I saw tornados and bad weather wreaking havoc. Grabbed my kid and ran off the roof. I saw havoc coming.

I don’t know why it takes ridiculous dreams and questionable interpretations to state the obvious. You’d think God was a prankster, but thankfully, these are not from Him.
People want so much for a connection that they come up with these things and eventually believe them rather than the Creator. For all the promises of God never to leave nor forsake you and provide your every need that you can come up with a better plan to save your natural life? Do you think silver or gold will somehow be a hedge against His judgment?
The problem with Americans is that Christianity is simply a label instead of a way of life. They will indulge themselves in a myriad of distractions including false religion and esoteric devices like dreams.
It’s time for people to take their faith seriously. Not indulge in worldly things that create fear but rather be simple concerning them. Pursue the One who is sovereign over all things. Draw neigh unto Him. You are expected to do some things to mitigate the coming storm, but be not overwhelmed with them. The more the arm of the flesh provides in its vanity, the longer it takes for God’s miraculous provision to be realized in your life. Do what you can and leave the rest to Him. Stop trying to provide for every single circumstance but act as though you really trust Him and not just give that idea lip service.
Crucify you flesh. That is the most important thing you can do as a believer. That is to deny your flesh, your wants, your fears and TRUST Him for your needs. Walk in the steps of Messiah as a man dependent on God.
Absent that, failing to crucify your flesh, and the devil will sift you and crucify it for you.
