9/23-27/13
My daughter received the first dream and prayed asking Abba if this was from Him to please give her another for confirmation. She received three in all. Just reading the dreams does not do them justice. When she finally shared all three dreams, my usually reserved daughter was overwhelmed with emotion as she conveyed the feelings of love, joy, and happiness. I can not reproduce this in words. This is written from her perspective.
WEDDING #1
We were all in a huge room, and the floor was covered with guests who were all standing. There was a staircase going
up to the bridegroom. The stairs were wider at the bottom, but they became more
narrow as they neared the top. The man conducting the ceremony was a Torah teacher, and the bridegroom was his oldest son. When she arrived at the
top of the stairs, there was a beautiful chuppa, and the Torah teacher and his son
were waiting for me.
There was overwhelming joy, peace,
happiness, and love!

WEDDING #2
We were all outside, and the
trees which lined the path were filled with what may have been hundreds of lanterns. All of our friends and family
were there. There were multiple paths and people lined each one. I was the
bride, and I was making my way down the path. I was barefoot. I stopped for a
moment to hug my family, and then I continued on down the path. When I got to the chuppa, the
same Torah Teacher was going to marry us. Again, the bridegroom was his oldest
son. I never saw his face, but knew it was him, and I was just so full of joy,
peace, happiness, and love!

PROPOSAL
We were at our house but the
back wall was gone. The backyard was that of a friend’s who boards horses. My immediate family, friends, future
bridegroom, and I had just finished riding a trail. We got off of
the horses. My future betrothed led me up to the house, and we stood next to my
mother’s chair. I bent down to pick something up and as I stood back up , he
knelt down on one knee, opened up a ring box and proposed. I said, “Yes.” The engagement ring was a round
diamond. He put it on my right hand. I rubbed it a little, and the diamond shape
changed to a marque shape. Then all of a sudden the entire ring became all
gold. It became the most beautiful sparkling solid gold band.
Also there was an additional
ring in the box. This ring looked like a class ring. The stone was a ruby, but
there was a red flap where the stone was. When I flipped it open, there was a
beautifully fragrant substance inside. I knew it was either frankincense or
myrrh. DREAM ENDED
Details of Wedding #1
I believe the Torah teacher represents our heavenly Father, and his oldest son represents Yeshua. My daughter is a picture of His bride. It may be that that we discover it was an ancient custom for guests to "stand" at a wedding as witnesses to the marriage covenant being entered. The stairs becoming more narrow likely points to the narrow path we are told we must walk. Notice that they begin wider and become more narrow as they ascend to where the bride will meet her betrothed. The closer we draw to the Lord, the more carefully we must walk. The place of the ceremony is elevated representing a spiritual elevation. The chuppa is a traditional covering for the bride and groom in a wedding.
Details of Wedding #2
Why was this wedding in an outdoor / forrest setting? Perhaps it is to represent the "wilderness" we have been in since Messiah's first coming. The children of Israel wondered in the desert for 40 years. 40 x 50 yrs (Jubilees) = 2,000! The wilderness is not always a desert place. Perhaps the lanterns represent points of light throughout our journey. Her feet were bare. We understand the significance that wearing sandals held in ancient law and customs. It represented authority and ownership over the land.
Details of the Proposal.
I think it's interesting the proposal was the last dream given. I consider it in comparison to how we need to view the days ahead. Understanding that the Torah is prophetic, and we may likely incur the plagues once again in some manner; we might consider looking at them in reverse order. Thus, the dream of the proposal was given last. Yet, as we review them, it is the most recent and nearer to us in time. The wedding is slightly more distant. Scroll backwards, and the first dream you'll encounter is the last one given. Am I making any sense? I pray that I am.
I have no idea if horseback riding has any significance at this point, so I'll move on. (Update: see comments below.)
The ring. I'm not sure why the diamond changes shape from a round to a marque. However, when it changes from one with a stone, like an engagement ring, to the wedding band, I believe this represents the point in time we are entering, the actual wedding, also pointing to eternity.
The additional ring is interesting. When my daughter told me of the dream and the fragrant substance that might have been myrrh, I thought immediately of the preparations Esther received (see Ester 2:12 ). She is a beautiful picture of the bride. Notice the stone was a ruby. Below are some commentaries I found regarding this particular gemstone.
He placed it on her right hand. This had us confused for a bit until we did some research and discovered that in ancient covenants, rings were placed on the right hand as a picture of authority and strength. It was the right hand, not the left which received a ring as a symbol of the husband's or king's authority.
There are still elements and their meanings in this dream that remain a hidden to us. Please feel free to share if Ruach haKodesh leads. I do pray that you will be encouraged by reading them. I pray that you will have peace and abundant joy as Ruach haKodesh is with you today and everyday. Shalom.
