Dream- 7/2/09

I dreamed I was in this Banquet Room, and there was a Reception that was about to take place in this banqueting Room as the Bride and Bridegroom were about to make their entrance. The covenant ( wedding vows)between the two had taken place.

I recall that I was participating and anticipating the two to enter the room.  In assisting with making sure that everything was in place in the Banqueting Room, while bending down to pick something up off the floor, from the right side of my eye, I saw this huge white Train from the Wedding Gown of the Bride flow past me. Everyone (though those in the room I did not know) in the room was taken, and literally gasped for air. The Wedding Dress was pure, without blemish, white.

There was someone who was with me, that kept encouraging me to  take a look at full view. 

 In my spirit, in every part of my natural senses, I did not have to see the Bride, because I saw her though I did not see her in the natural..There were extreme impressions that were impressed like with in every fiber of my being without having to see her in the natural.

These were the impressions within me:

The Bride had long dark hair, which was like silk that when she went by you, floated, lightly what I can only describe as divine synchronized between her and everything around her. ( This was seen at glimpse)

The Scent of the Bride, was like that of a perfume never before have I ever smelled in the natural. There was a light  flowery,  and even within the scent of the perfume she was wearing, is best described as “Heavenly”.

The Bride was with great poise, confidence, and such an assurance within herself, in her Identity.  Her hands were as if they were porcelain, intricate, yet fragile, with slender fingers.  This Bride on her wedding day was vibrant with LIFE, full of Joy.

There was great laughter and joy overflowing, within the Bride and Bridegroom, and with everyone in the Banqueting room. There was a great celebration and every person in the room was in “AWE” of her.

This all transpired all the impressions within me, within seconds. 

Within me,  with everything happening within the split seconds of everything happening, there was a double impression. 

The other impression was this:

There was like comparison that was transpiring, and a veil of shame, that tried to stop me from seeing me as the Bridegroom sees me. The preparing, of the arrival of the Bride became the distraction of seeing myself as the Bridegroom sees me.  When this Bride walked by me, She was full of Life and radiated that life from within her. The confidence she displayed was the result of her commitment with her Bridegroom. The Covenant that had transpired the exchange of Wedding Vows, The Two that became One.  

Isaiah 61 (New King James Version)

7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
      And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
      Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
      Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
       8 “ For I, the LORD, love justice;
      I hate robbery for burnt offering;
      I will direct their work in truth,
      And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
       9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
      And their offspring among the people.
      All who see them shall acknowledge them,
      That they are the posterity whom the LORD has blessed.”
       10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD,
      My soul shall be joyful in my God;
      For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
      He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
      As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
      And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
       11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,
      As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
      So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 62:4-7 (New King James Version)

4 You shall no longer be termed Forsaken,
      Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate;
      But you shall be called Hephzibah,[a] and your land Beulah;[b]
      For the LORD delights in you,
      And your land shall be married.
       5 For as a young man marries a virgin,
      So shall your sons marry you;
      And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
      Soshall your God rejoice over you.
       6 I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
      They shall never hold their peace day or night.
      You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent,
       7 And give Him no rest till He establishes
      And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

John 3:28-30 (New King James Version)

28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Revelation 21:1-3 (New King James Version)

Revelation 21

All Things Made New

 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John,[a] saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

The New Jerusalem

   
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me[b] and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”[c] 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy[d] Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names[e] of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

Revelation 22:16-18 (New King James Version)

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Song of Solomon 1 (New King James Version)

THE Shulamite

    12 While the king is at his table,
      My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
       13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me,
      That lies all night between my breasts.
       14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms
      In the vineyards of En Gedi.

THE Beloved

    15 Behold, you are fair, my love!
      Behold, you are fair!
      You have dove’s eyes.
