That's wisdom Paula, how you don't put stake in dreams and mostly how you worded it.
In this that Steve brought up, I wasn't so interested in what he said, as who he was and his biography and what "broke his heart" - as it happened.
I'm not done yet - but I plan to finish his biography from all different sources.
There are tons of lessons in it. For one, he got involved with the wrong group. In this case, I'm not trying to judge anyone, but I saw "the Prophecy Club" name come up. I know they were deep into the y2k craze at the time.
Back then, we were collecting only Newspaper quotes from Senators and political people - and I still have those cut outs. I remember the hype from those days. The cut outs were what fueled most of it. Christian Researchers brought books quoting just those type sources and then later were shamed. Go figure.
You're right about getting involved with politics.
This man though, I went to bed early - for me - but didn't really get into a deep sleep. Restless. Woke up thinking about him.
I just recommend those who are around this prophetic movement - even whatever possible good ones there are or bad - to read up on what happened with this poor guy.
He had a lot of love for people and great sense of humor, when not preaching. There's a lot to be learned from him. He wasn't a huckster, from what I saw, but he went through some changes by who he hung-out with and finally, he separated from most - from what I've read so far - just from the influence that others can have. He meant well and was kind - preached hard Salvation messages, but those who responded to his preaching and accepted Christ, stayed with Christ.
I have to say this, my heart went out to what was done to those we know personally who's set dates. Christians do lack compassion.
I'll finish his biography and pass it around to some good people I know and have met on the net, that may profit from his life story.
Not a few good lessons I think for all actually - mainly on compassion I'd say.
Thanks again Steve and Paula.
