Imprisoned by Government, Vision of Jesus

This dream reminds me of a few scriptures (there are others but these were the first ones that came to my mind):

John 15:18 - 25 -
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’[c]

John 16:33 - These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will[d] have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

2Timothy chapter 3, especially verses 11 - 12,14:

10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.


Your dream depicts what Jesus told us - that we would face tribulations because of our belief in Him but it doesn't matter because He has overcome the world, He is always with us, and the sufferings that we experience on Earth pale in comparison to the glory that we'll experience in Heaven (Romans 8:18).

wow what an amazing dream,

Dem, it seems a good idea to me to pray according to what the Spirit has showed you. So, ....

Lord, please bless dem with courage and strength to stand up under any coming persecutions. Thank You for giving her this dream as an encouragement that You are with her even during the hard things. I ask that You draw near to her as never before in sweet communion. In Jesus' holy and loved name. amen.

Thanks for the prayer!

I believe this dream has to do with upcoming persecution, This dream is so encouraging to me because of the vision of Jesus approving my endurance. Right now, I am so weak in perservering, so if this is a vision of my future maturity in Christ, it is extremely encouraging! I've been praying for the symbolic meaning of the jewel encrusted cloud under Jesus' throne. I saw on Mia's dream dictionary that a jewel encrusted cloud is a Divine dream. The LORD gave me the dream ,so I know He'll give me the meaning. Thanks for your input.
