Back in 1972, I was very new to the Bible. I had only started to read it and was far from being saved. I hadn’t been in a church for about 16 years and I didn’t have any use for church or religion, but the Bible intrigued me. I had taken one out of a hotel a year or so before, and every time I read it a peace would come over me.
When I got into trouble I would read the Bible. I began to believe the Bible was truly a different book from any other I had ever read. I always knew there was a heaven and hell, and in the past I would always say, “I don’t want to go to heaven, because all my friends would be in hell.” For some reason, heaven and hell became very real to me and I didn’t want to go to hell any more.
Because I was reading the Bible, I thought I was good enough to make it to heaven. I had changed my ways somewhat, and I would talk about the Bible to my friends and tell them surely it wasn’t mere men who wrote that book.
One night in March 1973 I had a dream or vision. I didn’t know anything about visions and what I saw didn’t make any sense to me at that time, but now I know it was a vision. I saw it three times that night.
In the vision, I was standing outside the door of my two-room cabin facing east. On the eastern horizon, there appeared a huge black cloud, like heavy smoke with a very dull red under it. Above the black smoke was a very beautiful pale blue light moving west, coming towards me.
Then I heard a number called out. A huge crowd of people that had just gone berserk surrounded me. They were rioting and looting, but not all of them. I pointed to the light and said, “Look, the light is coming closer. Do you see it?”
Most of them would say, “Yes, yes we see the light. “
But then they went right on looting. I knew they were lying. But there were some others who just stood there with an expectant look on their faces, like a look of joy or gladness, but they didn’t say anything. They looked so intently at the light, I somehow knew they saw it. It seemed to me that I was instrumental in leading them into the light when it arrived.
The light arrived amid all this confusion and people started entering it. Then the light vanished and I was left with this mob of confused people. I felt so forsaken when the light disappeared.
After I woke up, I went outside to look toward the eastern sky to ponder what I had just seen. I felt empty. I went back to bed and I hadn’t been asleep long when the vision came back again, same as before. Again, I woke up and went outside to look at the sky, but I felt even worse than before.
Then the same thing happened a third time, like they were instant replays. It was bizarre, I felt like I was in a time warp or something, like being transported from one place to the next.
I went back to bed and slept until daylight. When I awoke, I had an over powering feeling to get out the Bible. I had not connected any of this with the Bible. I randomly opened it to the first chapter of John and read about Christ being the light of the world. I had not read that before. I didn’t know that Christ was and is the light. I was awestruck.
Then I read from Matthew 24:27 about the light shining from the east even unto the west during a time of lawlessness, in the last days. I didn’t know about the last days. I didn’t know that Jesus Christ was going to return to earth again. The reason I felt so forsaken was I thought just because I had been reading the Bible on and off that I would go to heaven when I died. I didn’t know that I had to be born again. From that day on, I took a new interest in the Bible and for the first time I understood the message of salvation. I was born again and repented of all my sins. I began my new life in Christ, was filled with the Holy Ghost and never looked back.
For a long time, I thought the vision was just for me, to show me that trying to be somewhat religious wasn’t enough to get me into heaven, but now I believe God wants me to share this with people who think reading the Word now and then is enough to qualify them to enter heaven.
I never attended Bible school. I am just a simple man that made a living on a homestead and trap line. The trap line was a real wilderness experience for me and all I know is what God has given me. One thing He has shown me is if you are praying for revival, don’t expect it to happen if you have unforgiveness in your heart. Jesus ended the Lord’s prayer with. “If you don’t forgive others, your heavenly Father won’t forgive you.” There aren’t any grudges in heaven.
God has dealt wonderfully with me on forgiveness and I know He is stirring my soul to bring this message to the church. Blessings to all that read this message.

Hi- I had a dream this summer similar to this (june 2019). I was in the center of Jerusalem in an air b&b. I walked out into the street and saw people floating in the street with missing limbs. This disturbed me and a man said to me “an eye for an eye, that’s the way the queen has always done things around here”. Meanwhile, a bright light & presence was “standing” down the street to my right (near the enterence into jerusalem). This “presence” was different from the people already living in jerusalem (like a foreigner). This presence had the intention to change the forms of law/punishment as too many people were losing limbs in the dream- like reforming the ideas of law in the city. This scared me because i knew tensions would arise and felt a war was about to break out in the street i was on. i ran up to my air b&b (where my parents were also staying) and told them to quickly pack their things because we had to leave Jerusalem.
Some time in early 2008 the Lord gave a dream of politician, and I heard “unkempt”. The the Lord said ” He will win a local office(State Senator Illinois), then a state office(U.S. Senator), then a national office(U.S. President). I didn’t know who this man was but after the elections in our research we found it was Obama. Then this message came forth sometime in 2012 for Your perusal. “Does God Say We Should Obey A tyrant”

Try this timeline on for size: Riots, marshal law (communism), rapture and Obama back in the WH.
Was Obama behind the recent riots at Berkeley? Obama has 30,000 army of agitators at his command. Why were the police asked to stand down? If Obama is charged with treason would that bring on riots and martial law?http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index2236.htm
Bless Your Dear Faithful Heart Dave for being such a Great Witness in providing your Amazing Testimony to all who care to read it. Even though you had a bad experience at first and walked away, GOD had not walked away from you and brought you back to Him as you are Clearly One of His Chosen…! You have booked your passage Home to Heaven…Praise The Lord Jesus Christ. XXX
Thank you Rebecca; I Can only thank God for what He has done and if you are blessed by my testimony Praise The Lord.
Beautiful testimony! May God use it for His great purposes!
In the worse case scenario President Trump can invoke the Militia Act of 1903 and call up every able bodied man age 17 to 45 which becomes a Unorganized Militia of 55 million men already armed with 265 million guns including 16 million hunters and 218 million veterans.

Dave, thank you for your story and vision. My father became a trapper at the age of 12 to help his parents bring in money during the great depression. He continued every season until his mid 70’s often traveling throughout our state when called upon for his services. God bless you for this message and allowing the Lord to use you to hand out bibles.
Dave, I really appreciate what you’ve shared. The ministry that places Bibles in hotels are The Gideons. They’d be delighted to hear your story. Your eternity was forever changed with a hotel Bible in the right room at the right time.
The vision you shared was very timely and sobering.

Off-topic (but end-times related) “Mr. President, Why Are There Still Chemtrails Over America?” by DAVE HODGES (The Common Sense Show).

Exactly. Hours before it snowed here they were out spraying. I can count at least 4 to 5 planes or sometimes more out almost everyday at some point in the day. Very seldom a day goes by without those planes in the air and so many do not realize the harm these planes are causing.
Another off topic – I received a phone call yesterday about research into a vaccine for breast cancer and asked if I would donate. They think they will have the vaccine ready by 2018. I said not at this time and I do not like vaccines. After I hung up I thought I should have enlightened her on what is all in most vaccines but figured she wouldn’t have gotten it anyway. I also thought about the Gardisil shot and the damage it is doing and has done to girls and women along with all the other vaccines they are pushing. Is this going to be the same thing? Here is another place that could get cleaned up by the administration along with the Chemtrails.
Sherry,
Here’s another area of concern. This includes “Smart Meters” too.

Whatever God has created for good is being used for evil. We need the whole armor of God on to protect us! We are in the battle and so many do not realize it. Head in the sand, rose colored glasses, normalcy bias, whatever you want to call it, people are asleep. Dave has talked about the cell towers for quite a long time now and how bad they are. The list of evils is long. That is why we need to keep looking up toward God for His guidance. We need to pray for others to have the scales removed before judgment hits and time has run out. The battle is on!
Hi Dave,
To me the vision is spiritual more than physical. The people going beserk and looting is a reflection of the co-called church. It’s a free for all grab fest. All the sensationalism offered is driving the flesh mad. ‘moves of God’, must have annointings, latest great revelations which no ones dares not have. The ‘pushers’ make it sound like this is your last chance to be one of the special ones. ‘Receive’ now or be forever regretful.
A voice of sanity pointing them toward the Light is greeted with bored and fake acknowledgement.
It’s going to be a hard job Dave, to do what you were called to. Most of the responses are about the forgiveness aspect and the good testimony and I’m not criticizing but there is a real reluctance to acknowledge that not ‘they’ but WE are perhaps the ones to take heed regarding ‘the deception’..
The blue light is above the red and dark black smoke. That sounds like a remnant being ‘lifted out’. Out of what is the question.
Years ago I had a dream of meeting the Lord in the air. Below us was a world being engulfed by a massive flood. We ended up standing on top of a tall building looking down. I noticed the flood was gone and there were people just going about their normal lives. Going to work etc. The flood I was shown was spiritual. The Lord told me I have to save people from that but only ‘blue’ people. This has puzzled me tremendously. I have come to a conclusion that the ‘blue people’ has a dual meaning. The blue light you saw is the characteristic of the heavenly to which the saints belong. The dark clouds are where the flip side of ‘blue’ is. In medical terms one suffering from access to oxygen turns ‘blue’ and the condition is termed cyanitis which means blue colored. The children of God with spiritual cyanitis need to be saved from the flood of deception and sin and bondage. They need to join their brethren in the blue light and the Lord is EXTREMELY serious about this matter. Prayer is the key.
Blessings!
One time God told me that the blue light I see sometimes in my room is to remind me that He is just one galaxy away. So the blue light is the color of the spirit that lives with God.
Thank you Dave. What you saw all those years ago is coming to pass worldwide before our very eyes – looting, rioting, violence. Jesus said, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:37. What were the days of Noah like? Filled with violence. Do a Bible search- type in “filled with violence” and you will get two verses only:
Genesis 6:13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.
Ezekiel 28:16 Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.
The spirit of violence is a sign of the end AND a key descriptor of satan himself. How telling. This violence is everywhere- riots, angry marches on Washington, islamic jihad, abortion, vulgar speech, so-called entertainment (which is nothing more a cover for showing us images of horror, killing, anger, oppression), open discussions about assassinating a president, etc. Even among those identifying as Christians I hear (and read online) angry, rude and harsh words when talking with (or about) those living far from God.
Your vision reminds me the time is VERY SHORT in which to tell people about the light, the glorious light which you saw. The time is also short in which to pray for the lost. Am starting a 40 day season of fasting and prayer today. Asking for dearly loved family members to return/turn to Jesus. Praying for 23 million Buddhists in my region. Will the Lord return and they have never turned to Him in any significant number? I can’t bear the thought. AND am working to distance myself in from every shade of violence- to speak respectfully always, to love when I am insulted, to stay calm when angered. To be completely humble and gentle. Peace dear friends. Be the light of the World.
Yes, Saeng, and didn’t God prophesy that Ishmael would be a wild man, the progenitor of the Islamic people.
In my spirit (after reading this)…..I am reminded of the Shepherd (The Lord) leaving the ninety and nine and going to search for the one lost sheep…..This story shows the individual attention God gives to each soul to come unto Him. It was a moving message….thank you.
Powerful and deeply meaningful, thank you for sharing!
Is this Kimberly Gordy?
Blessings Dave,
Listening to your story/testimony was like listening to the disciples of Jesus days.Simple, ,faithful,to the heart,get the job done……keeping it real (forgiveness and not holding on to offenses are SO KEY to walking with God and man…And yet in these times of lawlesness it seems the tests are increasing.
Thank you for this Word….I needed to her…bless you

What a precious, precious testimony. Your heart comes through so beautifully. Thank you for sharing your journey, Dave. My favorite part is that it sounds like you came to Jesus just by reading His Word. No human agency, per se. Just the Holy Spirit and you, with your Bible. So beautiful! Thank you again for sharing. God bless, brother!
Wow! What a great testimony of God’s love towards you and your response to him. Thank you for sharing openly your testimony.
Hi Dave! Thank you for sharing your amazing testimony! I really appreciate your comment about forgiveness. God bless!
Thank you, Dave. A simple (but not simplistic), honest, and humble message that all need to hear (and obey). Nothing else but receiving Jesus as the light and life of God will convert a soul from the kingdom of darkness to the glorious kingdom of the Son of God. May the Lord Jesus bless you with joy and peace in knowing Him.
Powerful Word & Powerful testimony! Thank you!
Your reminder about how critical forgiving others is was a very timely reminder for me. Today especially. Blessings to you.
Forgiveness is a big part of Christianity, both ways.
