We are outside and under the shelter of the trees and there are tables to sit at. A lot of tables and chairs in rows and they are full of people. This was like a park setting with the trees and all only the area we were in was very closely defined. There seemed to be some kind of gazebo like thing that had american flags all over it. I was helping get the food ready and making sure everyone was served. Then we all sat down and someone said a very short blessing. It was like a prayer for dinner but it was short and it was done in a way that we all knew he was not done because we all were suppose to have the rest of the prayer time as a quiet time. I remember this went on for a long time and some people got finish with their prayer and looked up to see if this man was going to say amen but her never did. So it went on longer until another man finally said a quick and loud amen. Everyone said amen and opened their eyes and then they started talking to this other man about something. I immediately got up and started to clean. I remember going behind some cars and cleaning the pavement behind with a rag in my hand then I went over to clean the table or something and I saw that people were up walking around and talking to people because they were waiting for some problem to be fixed. During this time a man walked up carrying his pet. He had a silly smile that looked like he knew he could entertain the people/children around him while they waited. At first I thought he had a opposum but then as I looked closer I saw that he had a duck. I remember looking closely at it’s face and seeing it’s bill. Then I woke up.

Okay, Would like some help brothers and sisters. No one has made any comments on this dream but the Lord keeps bringing it back to me. Maybe because I have not found complete understanding of it yet. I know that the trees can represent ministers or a church or leaders or nations. Those sitting in the chairs at the tables symbolis fellowship and feeding on the Word of God. Saying a blessing must speak of bringing something before the Lord. Asking for a blessing possibly. Now here is where my eyes have not opened yet or maybe I am just trying not to believe what it appears to mean. The prayer/quiet time just goes on and on until another man stops it with an amen. Then all the people walk around talking to each other. Now all this talking in a dream can represent different things like testing the spirit by the Word or it can represent a blessing or a curse or just represent how HIS sheep know HIS voice. Then this man appears within the crowd and walks through and those around don't seem to notice him yet I see him and he has a silly smile and a somewhat evil look in his eyes and he is carrying a duck. Why carry a duck? The only think that comes to my mind is the duck must have been lame and couldn't walk. Also the American flags all over the gazebo really stands out to me.
I would really like to know if the Lord shows anyone anything about this dream. Please post if the Holy Spirit leads you so that we may have a confirmation or if we should just pass this dream by.
Thanks

The man that doesn't say amen...and is carrying a duck is the anti-christ. At least that is what I felt as I read through your dream and prayed about it. He puts on a show of fitting in and wants to attract the children, (Christians) to himself. He was out of place in your dream. You stated that the man walks through the crowd as not being noticed...this is how the anti-christ will want to be, in disguise.

The american flags could represent a type of festivity, but i think it has more to do with a gathering of people...

The cleaning and serving that you are doing is a restlessness that something isn't right.

I agree with the rest of what you said.

I am not one that usually interprets dreams, but felt lead to share. Hope this helps you.

1Jo 2:18 ¶ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Thankyou Tig for your help and for the above verses. I agree that the man walking through was evil and possibly the anti-christ. The overall feeling of the dream was that all the people that were sitting at the tables under the trees were brought together there for a reason. Like something had happened and they were there to support and comfort each other while they waited to hear news about what had happened. I felt as these peoples had been protected from whatever had occured as the overall mood was one of seriousness. I do believe these peoples were Christians. I also believe the flags stand for a signal of a happening. There is a verse in the Bible concerning when Pharoahs daughter sent her maidens to retrieve the basket with Moses in it from amoung the flags. Well, of course the flags in this refers to the plants along the river but in symbolism for a dream this would refer to a "flag" standing for an event.
"And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river [i.e. The Nile River]; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children."

I came back thinking about a chosen people...

Neh 5:17 Moreover [there were] at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that [are] about us. 18 Now [that] which was prepared [for me] daily [was] one ox [and] six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 19 ¶ Think upon me, my God, for good, [according] to all that I have done for this people.

Another word for flag is "standard"...perhaps this is the meaning of the american flags...each tribe also had a standard or flag to represent them.

Mmmm, I think you may be onto something. I need to pray more. Thankyou

Review this, and re-read your dream under these contexts: It is very simple, and yet profound.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and acts like a duck; it is a duck.

You know them by their fruits, says the Lord. (what they bring about, produce, manifest)

You were amidst the many trees; the produce of the nations. Like the Adam and the Eve when they fled the presence of 'that' into the diverse, beautiful, and strong trees (much fruitful workings) of the nations; and clothed themselves with the fig tree (Israel, the Law; the blind sacrifice and justice, of their new reality).

So hidden amidst, it is reveiled to you that you are in the establishment of America.

Darwinism teaches us that we are from 'hunter gatherers'. We are to emulate who we are.

But the Lord revealed to us that we are much more: After the Gospel is preached to us (the first four books of the New Testament - covering the four ancient days of Israel, and superceding the Law); he then reveals the Acts (the actions and words) of his disciples (taught by him), who are now apostles (sent ones or ones sent forth) after the Holy Ghost did come upon them (inspired, inspiration - in-spirit-ization; who are now the literal embodiment of his resurrection; the called, and chosen to act).

You know the tree, by its fruit. (trees are metaphor for linear time, families, and spiritual stature; height, you see; growth, ability; in time)

And the Lord God looked, 'after them' (it is after them); and he spoke quiet (softly, hush, shhh) to them; and clothed (covered) them with the beasts (nations) of the field.

So hidden, those that would've been hunters (trusting destiny and chance; the die of the good, and yet evil) were now hunted.

My house is a house of prayer, Jesus said to the blind-folded (unseeing, folding their hand) lawyers of the good and yet evil (this is an observation, and not a railing judgement), you have made it (built it, on the level) a place of traffik (trade, production, rites - rights - and seek justice; a port - portal - beside the sea - a measuring of the spirit depth - and toward the nations).

My house is a house of intercession (seeing and contending, of God; with the destiny and chances). You make it (build it up) as a 'get along', in the dynamic wherewith you find yourselves.

First of all, obviously the Lord is given me the translation; and wants you to know, that this is not about you at all, thus far; but setting the stage; letting you know, that this is much more than we could even imagine; and to begin (I say) to tell you what he wants (so you will know magnitude).

The temple (what they had built was about to be taken); Jesus, knew it; when it comes, and they had thought that they were winning 'the game' that they had made with their own hands.

But the Lord had tipped the balance of the scales of the law of the good and evil; and God, in effect, had by these acts (tipping over the tables, the balance of the spiritul traffic) and producing his seed (apostles, body on the earth); had called its hand, ...said check, you see; shouted 'who is my mother, and brothers, and sister?!' and its reaction would be furious and swift.

See shekels 'who is my mother'. See Miki's 'glass houses', see shekels 'balance code'. See the poster who dreamed of the apartments, and troops, and the infiltrator; Jesus just didn't call check on the king of the world; he turned the table (balance) of the game 'upside-down'; and he stood up (rose up in the face of that death) he stood for us all. And as the song says, He's alive, He's alive, ...He's alive and I'm forgiven; heavens gates are open wide. And Spirit Holy is pouring out.

This is where you find yourself. In the place of provision; (it is like the fourth of July, the fruit of generations of protestant reformation) ministering, and the cleaning the household of the faith; to prepare (make ready) the house-hold (holding of the house; family, inheritance) of the Lord.

You are going as far as cleaning the pavement (preparing the way); and making ready the tables for the provision (for what? for the acts, for the revelation, for the abilty to do) you expect should be there.

But you are seeing, ...and something is wrong; you can't put your finger on it; there is security, yes? peace. But no one seems able to pray. Correctly; no one is concerned, we are winning, no?

You are disappointed, not satisfied; because your heart (the Holy One) has told you there is provision. Yet, no one seems to care.

A duck is a duck; what is a duck?

In American culture, three come to mind:

Donald; the good ol boy; a parent, or guardian of children; yes? ...beset by troubles, but comes clean through all by his good heart.

Daffy; the trickster; a sort of rouge, always playing games with the hunter; when is he going to get caught?

Scrooge; rich, but poor in spirit; a skeptic, he cannot and will not trust anyone; so enamored with his own self-righteousness, that he seems angry to those he doesn't know; protective of his own, he lashes out at any outside interference; he is generous to Donald though, in the end, when he understands 'the boy'.

A real duck is beautiful; ...noble even, in his bearing. But clumbsy (sp?) out of his environment; in fact, outside of his environment, he can do nothing; not even fly well; ...even in his beauty, he eats, (excuse) poops (lol), and makes other ducks - just like him; same color, size and everything. They sound alike, look alike, and even act alike.

But out of the flock they are weak; and if they stray forth, well ...the hunter.

They are good swimmers though, and pick up bugs here and there; ...they are truly 'at home' in the waters, and the air (casual even, in the two atmospheres, of the wilderness spirit surround); hidden by numbers, and the protection of those ever mixing, and fluid currents flow. And God has set it so; for their protection.

This is what you see.

The opossum just plays dead, he has no self esteem; and scrounges alot; it looked like one, but, ..it was a duck. It is for his protection, too. No threat here, just move along.

Don't worry about the advanced patrols; infitration, it is what it does; they are assessing our strength (because they do not know it). Tares... pretending to help the lame duck; let them alone - its his reward.

Concern about the ducks; they are vulnerable, and you know it. Your protective intinct has crept in; and it is a righteous thing. They are the Lords. He is 'keeping them from it'. But you wonder, like me, how long?

They are children; the reason they could not pray correctly or even say 'amen' - agree, en-act validation to the prayer; is because they rely on their own power; and not the Holy Ghost (the tipper of tides, the turner of tables; the real difference maker, Glory to God, and Jesus Christ).

They are men, but bear the cover of beasts (hidden, no threat to the adversity; they show no evidence -fruit - of spiritual awakening), until the time comes, they be revealed. For they are stirring now, but they don't quite know what to do, for the program doesn't quite prepare them for any more; so they socialize, consult amongst themselves, and talk; but 'the more' that you are expectant of cannot seem to come about. So they do, what they always have. No harm, no foul.

Someone must say something, or do something, I mean: it's the book of acts, the living epistles, the revelation of John of the risen Christ. We are to do something, but what? Dispise not, ...small begins.

Someone will present to you a duck for entertainment? edification to the children? but you will recognize this and reject its overture politely - making it of non-effect.

The Lord is reminding you that you see. Therefore continue, and seek his face for the solution; to the state of our body in the Americas. He has shown you a bit of your own heart - and he loves it, for it is his heart.

Enter then, not into the temple made with hands, but into the depth of the Holy Ghost; follow his instruction, is my advice to you (only my advice); for your assignment is given (he who has called, has chosen); and many will be filled with the Spirit of the Lord. Amen.

Jesus is Lord. (I can't beleive I did a ministry on ducks; Lord, you have a sense of humor; blush).

The duck part struck a chord with me. In George Orwell's novel, 1984, there is a word-- duckspeak. It basicly means to bleat the party line/slogans/ideas like a mindless drone. Many people today speak-- and blindly believe-- common, politically correct slogans and other drivel without giving an ounce of thought to what they are actually saying.

Surely duckspeak would be the anti-christ's "pet"...excessive political correctness in speach and in thought make any given group much easier to control as it limits a person's knowledge of other points of view-- points of view that have the potential to truely free one's mind and enlighten one as to what is really happening around him/her.

AMEN!

Sainte, Thankyou for your interpretation. The Lord brought me straight to your post this morning as I had not seen it before. I come into agreement with some of what you have posted and would like to pray about more. The understanding the Lord showed you of the cleaning of the pavement rings true and has allowed me to see more of this message. I know it is important as the Lord keeps bringing it back to me and all in HIS timing. Thankyou again.

and

Thankyou everyone for all your help. Please continue to pray. May our LORD be glorified.
