BEHOLD HE COMES!

One or two years ago I dreamt that I had a conversation with a former client, Sharon Fox. We were sitting in the living room of the house in which I grew up. I don't recall the specifics of our conversation, but while we were talking, many people came into the house. They were loud and only interested in partying. I had no idea who these people were, and confronted them asking why they were there. They said that my sister Sandra had invited them. I repeatedly told them to leave; they were not welcome, but they could never hear me over their own noise.

In the next few days I saw Sharon in the grocery store which was odd as I had never run into her before. A few days later, she called my home by mistake. I recognized her voice right away, but I didn't identify myself. Normally, I would have, and chatted a bit, but I was so taken aback that I only politely told her it was a wrong number. Finally, in a few more days I had a second dream with her in it. I felt the details of the dream were inconsequential, and the primary focus was her name.

Normally, in dreams I believe individuals may represent groups of people, their authority over you, or there is significance in their names. This time I knew it was her name that was significant. I looked up Sharon and Fox separately in Scripture, but I could not make a connection. Some time passed, perhaps three months or so, and I was particularly upset after hearing a friend, whose opinion I highly respect, was convinced that Yeshua would not be returning until 2033. I went to bed broken-hearted at the thought of waiting so long for His return. The next morning I was still pretty upset, but began my day as I always do with quiet time in His Word and prayer. Today I opened to the book of Ecclesiastes.  Normally I would have stopped there, but decided to read on into the book of Song of Solomon. I came to chapter 2:1 and read, "I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. I was instantly reminded of my dream, but still I didn't have understanding. I continued through to verse 15 and read "Catch us the foxes…" FOXES! I never thought to search any variation of Fox. Here we have Sharon Fox(es) within the same chapter. I thought to look at the heart of the matter (the center of the text) which took me to verse 8. "The voice of my beloved! Behold he comes!"  Oh how perfect! I know that the dreams and coincidental encounters with my former client happened before this so that I would be comforted at just the right time. No, it does not tell when He is coming, but perhaps it won't be so long. I am hopeful and encouraged!
