                            DREAM OF THE FUTURE

              Sarah Winston  suddenly awoke from a strange dream.  She
         couldn't quite remember what it was about but she was certain
         it was  a foreboding  sign of the future.  She didn't like to
         have these dreams because people would think she was tetched.
         It  was  lucky  for  her  that  this wasn't one hundred years
         earlier . . . they would have burned  her at  the stake  as a
         witch.
              She lay there in the dark trying to remember what it was
         about.  It was no use  . .  . it  just wouldn't  come to her.
         She fell  back asleep  and the  dream occurred  again.  Right
         from the beginning and exactly as the first  time.   When she
         awoke this time, she was perspiring all over.  It was a dream
         of the future and it concerned  a  bad  and  long  war.   Her
         brother  has  been  in  it  and  she knew if it happened, her
         brother would lose his life.  She was shaking all over!
              Dawn was breaking so she  got  up  and  threw  some cold
         water in  her face to wake herself.  She then got dressed and
         went downstairs to  help  her  mother  make  breakfast.   She
         grabbed the  bucket and  walked out  to the well to pump some
         water.  The cool air was refreshing.
              When she returned to the kitchen,  she thought  it might
         help her if she talked to her mother about the dream.
              "Mama, I  had a  strange and scary dream last night.  In
         fact, I couldn't remember  what it  was the  first time  so I
         fell back  to sleep.  Then it started all over again and when
         I woke up, I remembered the whole thing."
              "Why Sarah,  you're shaking  like a  leaf!   Was it that
         bad?  Tell me about it."
              "War, Mama.   Bad,  horrible war.   It was all around us
         and our house was even  burned  to  the  ground.    They were
         British soldiers  that we  were fighting.  It was the British
         who burned our house down.  They locked Father up  because he
         joined the  cause of  the colonists.  Brother John was in the
         war.  He was wounded  and  didn't  pull  through,  Mama!" she
         sobbed.
              Her mother  put her arms around Sarah and comforted her.
         "Come child, calm yourself.  Your father and  brother will be
         up shortly  and want  their breakfast.   Help me get it ready
         and after they go out to work in the field, we can  talk some
         more."
              "Yes, Mama."  Sarah replied.  As she busied herself with
         the fire, she could feel the jitters quieting down.  She must
         put this out of her mind for now, she thought.
              When  they  had  finished eating breakfast, father said,
         "Well, it's spring again.   We  have a  lot of  plowing to do
         today John.   It's  hard to  believe it's  1774 already.  The
         years really fly by when you get older."
              "You're not  getting old,  Father." replied  John.  "You
         can  work  harder  than  anyone  in  the  area that are years
         younger than you.  I hope I have as much strength when  I get
         your age."

              Sarah could  feel the  tears well up in her eyes and had
         to turn and look out the window.   Her mother  walked over to
         her as John and his father walked out to get the horses ready
         for plowing.  Sarah had all she could do to calm her nerves.
              They cleaned up the breakfast dishes and both sat at the
         table while Sarah related the dream.
              "Actually, Mama,  it was  about war here but it was also
         about two more wars which are coming.  Each war was about 100
         years after  the previous one.  If it's possible, each seemed
         to be worse.  And strangely, they were all on this continent.
         There were  other wars  but my dream was about ones which had
         to do with our survival.
              "Try to remember everything Sarah.    If  we  see things
         coming to  pass which  you dreamed, maybe we can do something
         to prepare ourselves.
              "Yes, Mama.  The first one where Father was put  in jail
         and John  received a  bad wound, seemed to be happening as if
         it was today.  It won't  be  too  far  in  the  future.   The
         trouble between  the British and us will get worse.  Fighting
         will break out in the streets of Boston.   A  British general
         will be responsible for killing many colonists.  Some will be
         in Lexington and others will be in Concord.  Many  homes were
         burned to  the ground.   They  didn't burn ours in the begin-
         ning.  As British soldiers look for people who they think are
         guilty of  treason to  the King,  they throw many men in jail
         and burn their homes to the ground.  Ours is one of them.
              "Finally the colonists will  meet  in  a  conference and
         declare our  independence from  King George.  The war will be
         long and hard.  As I said, John fought for  our freedom.   He
         did not  survive his wounds.  It was horrible Mama!  The only
         good thing was the  outcome, Mama.   We  finally win  the war
         against England.
              Sarah and  her mother knew that troubles were brewing in
         the colonies.  Parliament  had been  busy passing  laws which
         were  intolerable  to  the  people  of  the  colonies.  Local
         governments had been sending petitions to King George only to
         have them  ignored.  The colonists had become very irritated.
         We felt it here on the farm with all the taxes they levied on
         our  farm  implements,  cloth  and  even  our  tea.  Taxation
         without representation  was  a  rallying  point  for  all the
         people.
              "What else did you dream, Sarah?"
              "The  next  war  seemed  to  be about 100 years from now
         Mama.  It was bad because brothers were  fighting brothers in
         many places  in our  land.   The war was between the northern
         and  the  southern  colonies.    Only   they  weren't  called
         colonies, they were states.
              "May our Lord preserve us, child."
              "There was  much deceit  and deception in this war.  The
         people are lead to believe  it  was  a  war  over  slaves but
         slavery was  not even  involved.   It was  a case of sinister
         people who wanted to overthrow  our  form  of  government and
         control the  people.   These evil  men were high officials in
         foreign banking circles.  They wanted  all laws  passed which

         would do away with our freedoms.
              "Our leader,  and I  don't remember  his name, wanted to
         preserve our form of government.   The people  who worked for
         him continuously  gave him  bad advice.  They were controlled
         by these evil men.  The first attack was by the forces of the
         northern states and was unnecessary.  The people of the south
         were only trying to make the government respect  their rights
         which was guaranteed by a government compact.
              "Since  the  government  wouldn't obey that charter, the
         southern states withdrew and  formed  a  separate government.
         This is  the one thing these immoral men didn't want and they
         used all the evil at their  disposal to  incite war.   It was
         really bad,  Mama.  A large city in the south was even looted
         and burned to the ground  by  a  general  after  the  war had
         ended.
              "The south  finally surrendered and our leader wanted to
         bring these states back into the union.  These wicked men had
         other ideas.  They couldn't convince our leader to punish the
         southern states so  they  finally  had  the  leader murdered.
         They  made  certain  that  no  one  could  accuse them in the
         killing.  They then had their way and really broke the spirit
         of the  southern people.   They took land from the landowners
         and gave it to  the  slaves.    They  had  slaves  elected to
         government.   These men  got the  slaves to pass all kinds of
         laws to heap more  injustices on  the white  people.   Why do
         people do  these things  Mama?   This is not what we learn in
         our bible study.  This is not what our Lord teaches!
              "Sarah, honey, we both know there are forces of Satan at
         work all the time.  These people have become inflicted with a
         sickness.  They are greedy and power mad.   All  they want is
         power and control over people.  We see that from history.  It
         makes  them  feel  important.    It's  just  mans' inhumanity
         toward his  fellow man.   It's  terrible.  But our Lord is no
         fool.  He knows what is  going  on  all  the  time.    I feel
         certain  he  allows  this  to  happen  for  people to learn a
         lesson.  And after people learn the lesson, the ones  who are
         good  will  muster  their  strength  and fight to restore his
         teachings.
              "One thing I remember very strongly, Mama, was  that the
         second and  third wars which are coming do not have to occur.
         If people would remember  divine teachings  and practice them
         in their  daily lives,  these wars  will not happen.  The one
         which is coming in our time will happen because the King will
         not want  to give up the colonies.  The oppression by him has
         been too violent and  lasted too  long.   Our people  will be
         free from  Great Britain.  The future of our country is to be
         a leader in the world.
              Mama sat there pondering the words of her daughter.  She
         finally said,  "Sarah, you  must write  these dreams down and
         pass them on to your children.  Perhaps, as you say, if these
         future wars  do not have to happen, your future grandchildren
         will have the wisdom to do what is  necessary to  prevent the
         bloodshed.
              "Mama, these  kind of  dreams scare  me.  I don't really

         want to know what is going  to happen  in the  future.  Maybe
         I'm getting a bit daft.
              "Honey, don't  fret yourself  over this.  Our Lord works
         in mysterious ways.  This is probably his  way to  prepare us
         for bad  times and  that he  is calling John back home."  She
         could feel a lump in her  throat and  tears filled  her eyes.
         Why  did  men  have  to  act  that way toward each other, she
         thought?  Man has no  right  to  take  the  life  of another!
         Doesn't the  Bible say  "Thou shalt not kill"?  Are they just
         empty words now?
              "What did you see after this second war, Sarah honey?"
              "The one main thing I felt about the third war  Mama was
         that it was really unnecessary.  People had become so lax and
         didn't watch what the government was  doing that  the oppres-
         sion was  worse than  we have  it today.  The people were not
         really  to  blame  either.    The  sinister  men  behind  the
         government became  very good at deceiving and controlling the
         people.  They continually issued papers which would  keep the
         people worried  about something so they wouldn't see what was
         happening.  There was always the threat of a war breaking out
         somewhere  in  the  world  and  the people became involved in
         calling for peace.    But  they  were  fooled  by  these dark
         forces.   Chances of  war breaking out somewhere in the world
         were less than the chance of war here.
              "The government  controlled  all  the  schools  and told
         these schools what they were to teach.  They were turning out
         zombies who could not  read properly  and could  not even see
         problems as  they arose.   Any that they did see, they didn't
         know how to fight.   That  part  was  scary,  Mama.    If the
         government is  going to control what is being taught, how can
         people think for themselves?
              "It sounds more like  the people  are medieval  serfs or
         slaves in the future you saw."
              "That's true,  Mama.  The people just didn't realize it.
         They kept talking about their freedom and how  the government
         could not  take that  freedom away.  They said they were free
         to speak but were put  in  jail  if  they  said  anything the
         government  didn't  agree  with.    I saw people gathering in
         front of buildings only to be  hit with  clubs and  thrown in
         strange carriages.  They had a system of taxes which was much
         worse than we have today.  People were put into  jails, homes
         and land  were taken  if the  people didn't freely give their
         money to the government.  They instilled a fear in the people
         but really  they were  stealing the  money and spending it on
         all kinds of programs which were not permitted.
              "There was some really exciting things I saw.  I did not
         see any  lamps or  candles but  there was light in every home
         and building.  They had really strange looking  carriages but
         there were  no horses  to pull  them.   They seemed  to go by
         themselves.  There were  so many  strange looking  boxes with
         pictures which  moved.   There were huge birds, at least what
         looked like birds.  Only their wings were not flapping.  They
         seemed so high and moved so fast.
              "It looked  like a  wonderful time  to be  alive.  There

         were so many conveniences which we  can't even  imagine.  The
         people  again  turned  away  from  God and divine principles.
         Everyone  tried  to  out  do  each  other  in  the  number of
         conveniences they  owned.   Stealing and robbery became a way
         of life.  Those that didn't have these fine things broke into
         stores and  homes and  stole them.  Many people were actually
         going hungry.  There was not enough work  and it  seemed that
         foreign countries were flooding the markets with many miracle
         inventions.
              "The government was again deceiving the  people and when
         the problems got really bad, people in government didn't know
         how to handle them.   The  government followed  the advice of
         their invisible  leaders and  declared martial law.  That was
         when the people revolted and a really bad war broke out.
              "Thousands and thousands of  people died.   The soldiers
         were  worried  about  their  own families and also fought the
         government.  In some of the  bigger towns,  bodies were lying
         all over the place and people couldn't bury them.  As the war
         went on, food  became  scarce  and  it  made  the  war worse.
         People were  stealing and  killing to get food for themselves
         and children.  Even young children were doing  it.   I really
         can't describe the horrible scenes I saw Mama.
              "You  best  sit  down  and  write what you can remember,
         child.  It may help you feel better  if you  get it  all down
         and  out  of  your  mind.    If  you hear your father or John
         coming, please put it away.  No sense in worrying them too."
              "Yes, Mama, I'll do that.  It might help."
              Was Sarah Winston really given a glimpse of  our future?
         Is she one of the prophets the Bible speaks about?  How close
         are we to what Sarah envisioned?
              You have to admit that the  government does  control our
         schools.  All without permission in our Constitution.  In the
         past, schools were privately controlled and usually under the
         sponsorship of  a church.  It has always been this way in our
         country.  Now we  have  robots  being  churned  out  who know
         nothing about  our history, government, geography.  They know
         little about mathematics and cannot understand  what they are
         reading.
              Materialism is  a fact of life today.  Must keep up with
         the Jones' family.  Moral values are a thing of  the past for
         the  most  part.    Stealing, murder, assault and robbery are
         such a common occurrence that  we  are  running  out  of jail
         space in  which to  put criminals.  People know nothing about
         the operation of our  government and  even less  if they pass
         laws  beyond  the  authority  which  we  surrendered  when we
         ratified the Constitution.  We witness  religious leaders and
         politicians making fools of themselves and we yawn.
              We have an independent and privately owned company which
         controls our money and people are unaware of  it.   Al Capone
         taught our  government that the best way to steal money is to
         threaten to  break arms,  legs or  blow up  businesses.  They
         aren't that  obvious about  it but they have convinced all to
         volunteer to pay the money after  you assess  yourself.  And,
         like Capone  would do,  if you  don't assess yourself and pay

         your voluntary sums, you are likely to have  your home stolen
         and sold  at auction.   If that isn't enough, they put you in
         jail.  People don't know our Constitution or what due process
         means and it goes on and on.
              People have  forgotten God.   Prayer in schools is now a
         no no.  Our  'leaders' have  so declared!   The  practice and
         teaching  of  religious  and  moral values has dwindled by an
         alarming rate.    Governments  want  neighbors  to  snitch on
         others so  they can solve crimes.  Whose job is that?  We see
         signs proclaiming that people  who  call  'crime  stop' phone
         numbers are  heroes.   It's apparent  we haven't learned from
         history . . . history is repeating itself.
              Leaders have  declared that  children will  be bussed to
         distant schools  to "achieve  racial balance."   Neither side
         of the dispute is happy with that but it goes  on.   We are a
         nation of controlled and regimented slaves today yet everyone
         says we are a free nation.   Has  anyone looked  up the words
         free  or  brave  to  see  what  they  really mean?  How about
         looking up sovereign?  You and I are the sovereign!
              This is a nation "of the people, by  the people  and for
         the people."   We  gave authority for our government when the
         Constitution was ratified.   It  says  all  laws  passed must
         agree with  the power  we relinquished.   If  they are beyond
         that authority, you don't have to  obey the  law.   It's that
         simple.
              You and I are being taken for fools and the law allowing
         the martial law which Sarah saw is already on the books.  The
         Dark Forces  are in  full control.  Is the fulfillment of her
         dream that close?  Better wake up.  Now is the time!
