This is the sixth dream in a series of seven prophetic dreams that I received in 2003. This is a continuation of the first five so if you missed those, please see my three previous posts which are listed in the links at the bottom of this post.
I received this dream a few weeks after the fifth dream. It was about a year since all the systems had collapsed. I saw myself living in a high desert rural area, a dry place with rocky ravines and pine trees. I knew many people had already perished so the population was much smaller, but I was not shown how they had died, whether it was from disease, famine, violence or perhaps the first winter.
I saw the survivors were poor and broke but had survived because they had learned to band together with family and neighbors whom they could trust, working together as a local community to help one another defend themselves and their food and livestock. The decent people needed to band together to fight off the bad people who banded together. They had to have people around them who were willing to fight for each other and feed and care for their family if they got hurt or died fighting for theirs.
I saw the federal government was almost non-existent with only a few small enclaves that they controlled. They did nothing to help the people and just protected and fed themselves. The only power they had was in their own minds and the great majority of Americans ignored them, hated them and distrusted them.
The same was true for state governments. Their power seemed to be limited to their capital city areas. Most employees, including state workers, police, medical, even many in the military seemed to just go home after the collapse once it was clear there was no plan or ability to put things back together.
I saw the same things happening in the United States were happening in every nation on earth. Everyone was in the same predicament and just trying to survive.
At the local level, I saw people were much better off if they had a good mayor, town council or sheriff who was smart enough to work quickly to protect their town or county, but I also saw people were worse off if they had corrupt mayors and sheriffs who were bullies who entered people’s homes and took their supplies to be ‘shared’. They were trying to be the boss of everyone, so those were not nice places to live.
I saw cities where people had suffered so greatly that their entire city almost ceased to exist due to so much looting by gangs and warlords who divided the spoils among themselves. After a while when things calmed down and the supplies were dwindling, the warlords and gangs sent out scouting parties to other areas. These scouts went as small groups or individuals to spy out different areas and report back places that could be raided for supplies along with their strengths and weaknesses. These warlords also captured residents by force to work for them as slaves. Those who were able to escape from them suffered from starvation, disease and violence.
I saw a small rural town in a mountain area sealed off the roads going into and out of their town with barriers made by piling together old cars and trucks and other things. This town was very strict about who they allowed to enter. Then I saw the same thing was happening in many other small towns and it seemed to be happening everywhere. Strangers were not welcome for fear they were scouts or carried diseases. The only people allowed to enter these protected areas were those who knew someone living inside, either family members or someone who could vouch for them. It took awhile but some sort of trade was starting to develop between these small communities and towns.
Then I saw myself in a public meeting in a small room, like a school building or community center. I was sitting at the end of a long table with maybe six other people. Each person had some talent or skill to help the community get through these hard times, such as finding and purifying water, hunting skills, food preservation, gardening, seed sharing, medical, security, etc. I was sitting on the end of the table and I was older than the rest of them. I wore a big hat with a brim and sunglasses, but I have no idea why. My skill was herbal medicines, so I was showing them how to help people to grow and make some things for themselves. I knew we met about once a month to help coordinate who needed what help, etc. The atmosphere was to try to help one another the best we could to get through the hard times one day at a time.
When our meeting ended, I left with three guys to a large field that was sort of a meeting area for people to make deals. At this meeting, we were to meet a man who had reached out to us claiming he represented another neighborhood and wanted to set up trade, but we had learned not to trust any strangers or let them know where we lived or what we had, so we wanted to see if this man was sincere before we could start any kind of trade relationship.
No one and no place was totally self-sufficient. We all needed some types of trade whether it was seeds, livestock, medical care, etc.
This man arrived at the meeting area shortly after we arrived. He had probably been watching for us from the tree line. He seemed relaxed and very friendly as he smiled and greeted us. Likewise we were all friendly to him as we introduced ourselves with alias names to hide our identities. We all shook hands with him, but the moment I reached out to shake his hand the scene froze and I heard a voice saying, “Remember this man. He will seek to betray you.”
I understood this warning was not just for me personally but that this man would betray our community. So with the scene frozen, I studied his face, the shape of his body, his proportions, clothing, hairline, eye color, how he smiled, his jawline, and his ears. I burned every detail into my brain from all angles. I was given a ‘knowing’ about him that he was a scout, which was called a ‘hunter’. I knew he worked for some bad people who were looking for small communities and neighborhoods as easy pickings. They had assigned him to make friends with us and to see what we had and what kind of defenses we had and to report back to them if he found any groups of christians. They had promised to give him a bounty whenever he found Christians and reported their location. I thought this was odd and did not know why it was a factor.
Then the scene unfroze and I knew I had received a warning from God so I gave a signal to my friends that we were not to trust this man. From that point on, we talked and joked with him pretending like we wanted to trade and acting like we needed exactly what he said he needed to make him think we were broke and desperate. We told him we would have to talk to our town council to see if there was anything we had that he might want, so we agreed to meet again in a week and we left on very friendly terms like we couldn’t wait to see him again.
When we left the meeting place, we purposely went in a totally different direction than the way back to our place and continued for a mile or so until we were sure we weren’t being followed. I knew other communities were doing the same things, hiding their exact locations and never giving out directions to any strangers. Everyone knew that was dangerous and could result in being raided and burned out.
The dream ended.
Interpretation:
Back in 2003 when I received this dream, I was living in a small town with a lake and never had any plans to leave it, ever. Then ten years ago, I moved to a very rural mountain area and this is where I still live today. After living here for a year, I was driving through the pass when I recognized it was the same place I saw in this dream, a high desert with rocky ravines and pine trees all over.
Also, in the dream I saw myself wearing a big hat with a brim and sunglasses, but I had no idea why. Since then, I had to start wearing a dark gray boonie hat everywhere and sunglasses even indoors because the light hurts my eyes.
It’s now been 18 years since I had this dream but I can still close my eyes and see that man clearly. It’s funny because now I’m in my late sixties and legally blind, so I can’t see details or read but I know 100% that if I met that man and shook his hand I would recognize him instantly.
I believe the warning from this dream is obvious, there will be dangerous times and dangerous people who will try to hurt or take advantage of us so we should not be too eager to trust strangers no matter how friendly or what they promise. Just as I was doing in the dream when the scene froze, we must rely on God to give us discernment.
Here are links to the other dreams in this series:
Dreams 1-3: “Remember this. When you see this happen you will know IT has begun.”
Dream 4: “I saw New York City and it felt like it was about two or three months after the collapse.”
Dream 5: “I saw the west coast of the United States had been invaded by the Chinese military.”

Excellent advice my Sister-in-Christ!
thanks to everyone for their thoughts and experiences. this series of dreams was not the tribulation times , this all comes before. that was clear, but i was given a final dream that will be posted soon that showed me an event that is like the launch pad of the global govt & economy, global religion, etc to be put in place for the AC. all these hard times are just a sort of tool to wear people down, scare and weaken us so when the moment comes, the AC and the others look like they are saving us and restore things. the rapture is real but it doesnt come exactly as some expect. we have very hard times coming. not many modern people have the skills or knowledge of our ancestors on the basics and so many are addicted to technology. we must endure to the end, whatever comes Jesus is at our side with every step we take and every challenge.
Celestial from the-masters-voice.com has had many dreams confirming the things you have seen and shared. She has a YouTube channel as well where she reads and discusses the prophetic words from her blog.
A few nights ago I woke up about 1AM. Almost immediately I heard the world is changing quickly to usher in the evil one. You must change with it. I questioned the statement, you must change with it. Of course I prayed if this is you Lord please confirm it. I didn’t stay awake and when I woke up in the morning I again began to question it. I was reminded of Joseph and Daniel. Of the changes they both experienced and how they had to adapt, adjust and change without compromising their relationship with God. Both became established in pagan cultures and governments. Both were persecuted. Yet it was made obvious that the Spirit of God was upon them and that they had the wisdom of God. Not only did they bless Egypt and Babylon, they blessed Israel as well. I’m asking for understanding of what the change looks like and asking that Gods Spirit and wisdom be upon me and the people of God. We have such a tendency to live safe, insulated lives. We’ve been called to be light in the gross darkness. Doesn’t necessarily mean those in darkness will receive the light but they will know there was a true witness of God among them.
Brothers and Sisters,
let us not forget that all these dreams are warnings from the Lord of what *could* happen. I believe that only what is written in the Bible is that what *must* happen. We as believers have the power through prayer to mitigate or prevent these events that we have been warned about but that are not directly written in the Scriptures. Most importantly, if we repent from our evil ways and return to the Lord, God can change everything. Remember Nineve that repented after Jona’s preaching and how the destruction of the city was postponed.
Pray for America (and the country where you live) that it will repent, and for God in his infinite mercy to save America. I know how hard it is to keep hope when everything around us deteriorate as such an accelerated speed, but for God nothing is impossible, and “where sin abounded, grace did much more abound” (Rom 5:20).
Be blessed!
Thanks for sharing Jazzy. Many having been sharing about a long and dark winter coming up (Biden too has been saying things like “Darkest Winter”) I have been burdened in my heart to store up as much as possible and things to use when we will not have any electricity. One of my dreams in 2015, I was in a place where there were many rooms and in my spirit knew there were many people staying there. I thought at first it was an apartment but the Lord later revealed to me that He would be bringing people to our place of refuge. I was trying to find a way out of the place and found the entrance or doorway but it was blocked up with like tape or tarp. When I was trying to figure out how I was getting out, when I heard in my spirit, ” You are safe here, the outside has been bombed!” that was the end of that dream.
I think the dreams being released now are the Lord’s way for preparing His people. The Lord does nothing without revealing to His prophets first. May His Will be done!
blessings
On reading Jazzys dream again; This Post on Z3 * Especially Heading ;Interpretation & last 4 paragraphs , I am reminded of when I read a couple of posts by Glynda Lomax re End times..
One was Titled A New Communist America. – Warning dream & word given originally from March 10 2019 & reposted in January 2021.
It read a dark dark oppression is coming to the people of America, it feels like a heavy dark blanket. It feels like communism. It feels like the spirit that was over Russia years ago.
The people held down against their wills .A dark leader has taken over in Washington & America .Heavy oppression has taken over but the people are told it is for there own safety & their own good ,that is how it begins. But it is not for their good, it is to get them to submit.
Mentioned also; was that there would be a bounty on Christians.. Infiltrates, that if you witness to them they will report you. If you do a Google search & it relates to anything Christian they will hunt people down. If you go to Amazon & order anything Christian they will hunt you down .The govt will not only sanction this but encourage this.
There will be a special breed of evil that reigns as spoken in the Book of Daniel Chpt 7 V’s 20-22.
Then a post March 30th 2021. ; Titled “‘;I Will Lead You Out”‘. My children, do not fear what comes as your Govt changes, but know just as I led (rescued) my people Israel out from under Pharoah, so will I also rescue you ..I will lead you out of captivity and into your promised land.
The Lord s word ;was walk with Me- Him the I Am & learn from Me -The Great I AM, & do not grow weary in well doing, store up treasure in Heaven, All that you do for those in Need he sees & rewards
Verses given Exodus 3:8 .Exodus 7:5, Galatians 6:9 , Mathew 25:40 (KJV)
I have had two dreams that I’ve wrestled with which sound so much like this post.
In one, I was talking with my family about how something bad was coming and they said we needed to store a little bit of supplies. I said “No, much more than that!” Then we dug a hole the size of a gymnasium in a field and stocked it like a Walmart. I had this dream long before we learned about COVID.
In the second dream, life had become like the show The Walking Dead. We were constantly on the run, dirty, and getting involved in violent altercations. I was watching this scene like I was in it and then my focus zoomed out and the scene was on a TV screen. I was in a room with teenagers. They were watching the scene on TV and I knew they lived in a time when there was no violence or danger. I was trying to explain to them that this was not just a story on TV. We had LIVED it! But they lived such a pleasant experience that they simply couldn’t even imagine what I was trying to say.
I’ve been watching Christopher Harris’ recent videos about crypto and prayerfully investing. My husband and I had a word spoken over us years many ago about explosive multiplication of wealth. I thought in the past that I knew how the Lord would bring this about and have since had to repent and give the promise back to Him. If it’s His will for us to have the finances to do something in this life then He will bring it about however He wants and whenever. I’ve also received a word regarding caring for children. I don’t know what God wants to do but he has my yes!
These posts remind me of movies like the Book of Eli and The Hunger Games, which I always felt might have been prophetic. These things are coming. No one knows for sure, but I feel they are likely within mine or my children’s generations.
Much sooner Guest. Events starting with the stolen election are accelerating exponentially. Several months ago Dana Coverstone was shown a large billboard stating, “PASSOVER 2021 Big things are coming to the world”. Claire du Bois of Heart Dwellers was told when the Dome of the Rock is bombed WW III will start and rapture.
Were you able to discern the time period by the looks of the vehicles, tools or clothing items? Anything futuristic stick out to you at all? Since you’re in your lates 60’s now and you were very much able to provide benefit to the community this must be very close within the next 20-30 years maybe??? Thank you for sharing.
When I had my dream that shook me up, my 2 daughters and I think it was my brother in law and his two kids were in a van. I think they were trying to get away but didn’t make it. The houses in the background were still standing and seemed in good shape other than some windows broken in and all the doors had been kicked in. Looked like they had been ransacked.
Were these dreams in the time period before the rapture or after the rapture?
Since all these things happen around the collapse of the global financial systems, it sounds to me like they must be prior to the 42-month tribulation which would mean they also precede the rapture. I know there’s at least one major market crash that precedes this one and maybe two and they must be different from this one because God has given me dreams showing me how to trade them but the collapse will not be tradable. Those will take time to play out which would push the collapse further out on the timeline.
James, How do you get a 42 month tribulation? Isn’t it Danial’s 70th Week?
My understanding is the 42 month tribulation is the first half of Daniel’s 70th week. Here are some scriptures revealing the tribulation lasts 42 months. Then comes the great tribulation. I wrote a post explaining the difference between these two periods. Here’s the link:
https://z3news.com/w/tribulation-vs-great-tribulation/
He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time. (Daniel 7:25 NKJV)
2 But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.
3 And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” (Revelation 11:2-3 NKJV)
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days. (Revelation 12:6 NKJV)
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. (Revelation 13:5 NKJV)
James, I went back to your link above where you say there are three distinct periods of time ahead and we are currently in the first called birth pangs. That’s fine but then you say this period is found in Mathew 24:4-8 AND Revelation 6:1-8. The problem is none of Mathew’s birth pangs are found in Revelation 6:1-8. Instead we only find the four horsemen of the Apocalypse which most agree is the beginning of the tribulation where the anti-Christ goes forth conquering and to conquer. He has to form an alliance with ten nations before he is strong enough to command all to worship him and take his mark at mid-trib, Rev. C.13. This takes him the first 3 1/2 years of the trib, called by some the lessor tribulation. The tribulation begins with the rise of the anti-Christ and ends with the defeat of the anti-Christ with 7 seals, 7 trumpet and 7 bowl judgments in between. This is why most believe the tribulation is divided into TWO parts, with the lesser and great tribulation, each 3 1/2 years long. God doesn’t divide the seals into two parts as you suggest. If there were two distinct parts to the seals why would He number them one through seven? The tribulation is divided into three sets of seven judgments. and they are consecutive. Also, the rapture you mention in C.11 is clearly of the two witnesses, not the Church.
The birth pangs demand the question, Who is being born? The answer is two fold: The 144,000 born again Jews who were sealed in Rev. C.7 become “servants of our God”. In C.12 we see the women (Israel) giving birth to the manchild and in C.14 we see the raptured manchild in Heaven.
The second birth is that of all Israel at the appearance of their Messiah at His second advent, when “all Israel is saved”, Rom. 11:26. when they see the holes in Christ’s hands:.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn, Zech. 12:10
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children, Isa. 66:7,8
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob, Rom. 11:26
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it, Jer.30:6,7
Jazzy’s dream confirms my understanding of Revelation 12, which is all about God making a way of escape for His people prior to the start of the 42-month tribulation. This is also confirmed by verse 17 which describes the woman’s offspring as those “who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Since Jews don’t have the testimony of Jesus, I believe this passage is referring to Christians, the saints, which is confirmed again in the next chapter as the antichrist wages war against the saints. The saints are spiritual Israel having been grafted into the tree, but I also believe a remnant of physical Israel will be saved before the Lord returns and those who get saved will also be persecuted.
James, you stated above, “Rev. 12 is all about God making a way of escape for His people prior to the start of the 42 month tribulation” (which you have said starts at Rev. 6:9). You have also said Revelation is in consecutive order, but C.12 is six chapters AFTER C.6.
#2, the Jews are still God’s people, Rom.11:1.
#2a. Chapter 12 is mainly about the women/ Israel, the 144,000 manchild, the remnant of Jews that remain in Jerusalem. The Church isn’t mentioned.
#3, there is no mention of the Church in C.12, it’s all about Israel, the 144,000 saved Jews and the remnant, a term never used to describe the Church.
#4, Both true Jews and Christians keep the commandments.
#5 The 144,000 Jews of C. 7 are seen raptured to Heaven, not the Church, after the women/Israel, gives birth to the manchild, Rev.14:1. In fact, the Church isn’t mentioned once during the 7 year tribulation in Revelation,
Yes, the remnant who stay in Jerusalem are true Jews that keep the Ten Commandments have heard the testimony of Jesus Christ from the 144,000 Jewish evangelists and saw them raptured. They are called the remnant and are the Jews who were not saved with the 144,000 and who don’t flee with the woman/Israel into the wilderness but remain in Jerusalem.
You said, ” but I also believe a remnant of physical Israel will be saved before the Lord returns.” Paul said ALL Israel will be saved.
You also said, ” those who get saved will also be persecuted.” That’s very true. They are called the great multitude, were saved during the 7 year tribulation and most of them will be martyred.
Regarding the remnant, Paul’s reference to all Israel can only be understood in the context of other scriptures revealing two-thirds of Israel will perish but the surviving one-third will be saved.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be for a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of His people,
6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. (Isaiah 28:5 NKJV)
8 And it shall come to pass in all the land,” says the LORD, “That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it:
9 I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘This is My people’; and each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’ ” (Zechariah 13:8-9 NKJV)
Since Zechariah 14 is all about the Day of the Lord, Zechariah 13 is revealing events happening just prior to that, so this is an unfulfilled end time prophecy of Israel. So Paul’s comment about “all Israel” is referring to all of the remaining survivors after two-thirds have perished.
Regarding chapter 12, my previous comment included direct quotes revealing it is referring to those “who have the testimony of Jesus Christ” so that is referring to Christians. It sounds like you and I have very different interpretations of this chapter but I’ve found that when I have to start repeating the same points the discussion has become a waste of time so it’s best to move on.
In my post, I identified those two passages as referring to the birth pangs leading up to the 42-month tribulation and that is still the way I understand it. Here’s the link:
https://z3news.com/w/tribulation-vs-great-tribulation/
In the first passage (Matthew 24:4-8) Jesus said, “All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Then in the next verses He talks about the tribulation. So I believe He described these events in chronological order starting with the birth pangs leading up to the tribulation.
In the second passage (Revelation 6:1-8) my understanding is that the four riders are released prior to the 42-month tribulation and usher in that period with the trouble they release upon the earth.
The riders release the same events that Jesus described in Matthew 24:7 “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.” In Revelation 6, the first rider goes forth conquering and to conquer. The second rider takes peace from the earth. The third rider releases the economic problems that prepare the way for the fourth rider releasing famine and death.
Mathew 24 is only a thumb nail sketch of the coming tribulation as told in great detail in the Book of Revelation. We can’t let the tail wag the dog. For example there are earth quakes, wars, and famine and death all through the tribulation. You wouldn’t go to the map of New Jersey to describe the United States. One goes to the larger to subdivide the whole not a small fragment. The Book of Revelation is actually very well organized with 7 seals, 7 trumpets and seven bowls, etc. In Chapter One God divides the whole book into three parts: past, present and future, v.19.
Great confirmation Loriq.
So is this the tribulation period?
There’s no mention of any global government like what will exist during the 42-month tribulation so I think this is the birth pangs preceding it. I doubt the nations will surrender their sovereignty to the antichrist without first going through something like this.
Do these events regarding the series of dreams happen all at once? Or do you think these may take a few years/decades to play out
She stated in this post that the events in this dream were about a year after the collapse so these are all in chronological order.
I thought the global government doesn’t begin until Revelation C.13, between the Lessor and Great Tribulation.
Yes, that’s correct. Jazzy believes and I agree that her dreams will be fulfilled prior to the start of the global government in Revelation 13, which is why I included the scripture reference from Revelation 12. I believe that’s what she saw.
