I had this dream Sunday morning, November 11.
I was headed out with all my kids (including my boyfriends kids, we are a blended family?). Christopher went in another car, ahead of us and led the way for me to follow. I made a stop before heading to our destination and my daughter Jordan and my future step daughter Bella got out of the car with me.
We decided to go inside this building that looked massive. Inside, I noticed tons of rooms. I had a sense this place was like an attraction, an amusement park, a place of entertainment.
At a higher level, I noticed live elephants. There was a rail, like train rails, and like a factory conveyor belt. One by one, solid white, rectangular platforms came in with no supporting walls. An elephant was placed on each platform that came in, to be shipped out. I was not aware of the elephants destination, but I noticed that as soon as the elephants were placed on the platform, they could not find their footing. They were unstable, unsure of their footing even though the platform was flat. It was like watching an elephant try and balance on a ball at a circus.
After that, I walked towards an opening that led to the outside. As soon as I stepped out, I immediately looked to my left and saw an elephant being detained by two men. One man was pulling it’s ear aggressively back as it fell backwards, the other man was aggressively holding it’s trunk. As these men were detaining this elephant, I gazed upon the face of the elephant and it was horrified. Fear flooded that poor elephant. At that point, my heart burdened for that poor creature. It was heart wrenching.
I kept walking a little further and came to a platform that looked like a stage set forth for a seal to come jumping out of the water and pose. Well, that is exactly what happened, but this seal was different. As it jumped out of the water, it was huge and had the face of a donkey, but no ears. Everything about this creature was a seal, but the face was a donkey.
My girls were right behind me and we all approached the creature because it was so adorable and very cute. Right before we were about to leave, I gave the creature a kiss on the muzzle, but it left a bitter and extremely salty taste in my mouth! Yuck! I took my hand and tried to get the taste off my mouth with my finger tips.
That is where it ended.
Interpretation:
I am putting what I believe God has shown in regards to some things in this dream. I humbly submit and take my courage in Christ and share this.
The elephants might represent Republicans. The foundation they stand upon may be representative of Christ, but it is not the true foundation we as Christians should stand upon, which is why the elephants were unstable and could never find thier footing. Our true foundation is Christ, our rock. The white platform looks solid, looks pure, looks like it represents Christ, but the Republican platform is not the foundation of Christ.
Putting our hope in something that may stand for Christ and truth in some areas is not putting our hope in Christ, Himself, which could very well represent the elephant being tortured by fear.
The seal with the donkey face might represent the Democratic party because it was like a circus of entertainment. The donkey looked appealing, wonderful and even “cute and coy,” but it left a bitter taste inside my mouth and stomach, so that seemed like a warning.
The purpose for the large building was all about entertainment, like an amusement park. Even though they were handling elephants and donkeys, there did not seem to be anything political about it, just pure entertainment for the people.
Also, I think the reason why the same building contained both the elephants and donkeys was because both were there for the same purpose, which was purely amusement and entertainment. They were just different performers in the same show, and both were being handled and orchestrated by the same people. So, I believe the dream reveals neither party, Republican or Democrat, holds any merit because both are just there for our entertainment.
Perhaps the way the elephants were being shipped out was symbolic of a manufactured belief system. I felt as if that one particular piece of the dream was incomplete as far as my understanding, but the word “manufactured” just popped into my mind.
On a personal note, I believe the kids were following me like sheep to a shepherd. God has appointed us to make way for the younger generation and He is leaving it in our hands to teach them in HIS WAYS. We raise the next generation in truth, rather then in the traditions of men and world government. We need to stand up and lead our kids to stand firm in their position in Christ. Let us lead our kids to NOT be devided, but lead them to be like minded in truth, in the body of Christ. Philippians 2:2!!! I rejoice and pray this scripture over the generation after us and already here!!!
I’m not here to judge anyone and I do believe in God’s Sovereignty. Just remember, none is worthy of praise and admiration, but our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. God is the Alpha and the Omega, supreme and in control!
Whatever party we identify ourselves with, let us not put our hope on a “side” or put our identity in something that lures us away from our true hope. Let us take our authority in Christ and stand with Christ, our true identity. The world may be divided, but the body of Christ should never be a house divided. Put all your hope in Christ, no government on earth is going to save you! Jeremiah 29:11, 1Peter 1:3, Romans 15:13!!!
Perhaps God gave me this dream because I have never been someone interested in politics, only interested in praying for God’s will be done. If He says pray for our president, I will, or whoever else He lays on my heart. I just want an undivided heart towards God. I may vote what represents Christ, but my HOPE IS IN THE LORD!

I knew this dream would be like a double edge sword for some, but I won’t apologize for an inspired exhortation. God is a respecter of no man, but He sure loves you! He holds the keys to all you need in life?
Seems to me the scared elephant and other new ones represent the newly elected Republicans coming to DC with high hopes to be a part of the good things they ran to represent, and then getting hit with the realities of party control when they get there and get their orientation to fund-raising hours and
“how things are done here”. Yes, I have heard about the third party rising, too, and now it’s starting to make sense!
I am a Trump supporter. My hope is in Jesus not Trump. So far Trump seems to be taking the right path. Could this change? Of course. We need to watch every move that Trump makes right now. It is affecting the future of the entire world. We need to pray for Trump and his family.
Just wanted to state that the message doesn’t have anything to do with discouraging voting or that it is discussing voting. God just encourages us to remember to put our hope in Him and remember that our true identity is in Christ Jesus. I also encourage to please pray about dreams.
The late John Paul Jackson was shown that a third party will rise one day and put an end to our current two party system. For this to happen, it will mean that the majority of Americans will at some point come to believe that both parties are corrupt and not truly representing interests of the average citizen.
Wow, thanks for sharing! It may be why I had my kids following me. We have the God’s living word in us, our authority in Christ and gifts given to raise them in His ways. Funny thing is, the same day I had the dream God released me to start in children’s ministry! It totally makes sense and is such an amazing privilege and blessing to be able to teach our future generations in truth! I have Hope in the Lord, even if the world gets darker. We will rise higher and shine like cities on a hill, our kids will make way for the second coming of Christ. Let’s keep praying!??
Both parties have a level of corruption, I’m sure. However, one party represents evil and stands for abortion and gay marriage. It’s a no brainer how a Christian should vote in national elections.
Sure, it’s a no brainer. However, I was encouraging a different message. Our true identity is not on a political side, politics shouldn’t even define us as Christians. God defines us, our identity is in Christ and so is our hope. Putting hope in any world government even voting for the things that may represent the truth is still not guaranteed. It is our hope in Christ and PRAYER as citizens of heaven to petition for that which is righteous before God for our nation. Question is, with politics aside, what are you praying for? How are you praying for God to move in this country or even in each state? What are your petitions before the court in heaven? I am not discouraging voting, we should vote! But you can’t put your hope in that which may not be guaranteed a win, put your hope in the one who can move mountains, change hearts, remove kings and so much more. Prayer is so important. We can preach truth and encourage eachother, but prayer is direct communication with God. Pray and watch what God can do more so then what voting can accomplish if we ask, seek and knock….pray! God Bless.? we the game changers, not just in this country, but in the world, we hold the victory because Christ already won for us!!! ??King Jesus all the time?
