I was watching an Angelina Jolie movie entitled A Mighty Heart late last night and of course, I was not surprised that my dream revolved around her and her famous coupling with Brad Pitt.
My dream indicated that I knew the Jolie/Pitt and their children personally. I was playing with their kids and have a nurturing spirit for them. In my dream, they are typical kids who have a joyful existence provided by their loving parents. In my dream, they seemed to be not the spoiled kids, which is common in the world of entertainment people lavished by glamor and charm.
Anyway, in my dream the Jolie/Pitt clan was in a hotel taking a well deserved rest. I could see that the hotel rooms seemed to be like a broadway stage. The rooms are opened for me to see. Next to the room of Jolie and Pitt was a stage for a band. They were setting up their musical instruments and getting ready for a show. When they started playing for the crowd, of course, it disturbed the Jolie/Pitt clan from their slumber. Angelina was upset and peeked in the window and was so dismayed that they were in a room next to all the noise that even a night owl would not appreciate.
People started to check out the commotion in the room of Brangelina. They started asking me what's wrong. In my dream the people seemed to not recognize the world famous couple. I told them that the loud music woke up and startled Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and their kids. The people acted like "so what?" and left.
The only thing that this dream could relate to my own life is I have a three year old grandson and I dote on him. Somehow I worry that his innocent mind can be easily corrupted by the world we live in. Once a child started going to school, as he will be a preschooler soon, he is out of sights from those that care for him the most. With all the bad news, no one is safe out there. The world is full of the enemy's cohorts and they work in the minds of those who especially do not resist them and blinded by the truth of the dangers they like to inflict in humans so they could fall out of God's grace and into their dominions. It's pretty scary and you just don't know who you could trust the life of this innocent and pure little man.
There is hope though that constant prayers to God about these concerns would shield this little child with God's protection.
Watching A Mighty Heart made me see more of the perils of being nonchalant of the danger brought on by being in another country whose people mostly hate the Americans, and a double whammy if you are also Jewish. There's nothing wrong to be passionate with your work, but risking your life to do what you are passionate about is suicide... it's murder waiting to happen. It's well known that Muslim countries do not have love for Jews, whether they are religious or not. It stemmed from that story of who Abraham offered to God as sacrifice-- Was it Isaac or Ishmael?
The Holy Bible is clear: Genesis 22 NIV... Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. {2} Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."
But the Muslims believe that it was Ishmael. And the rest that followed is history of conflicts between Muslims and Jews. These conflicts continue to this day, so why would a Jewish man be in the land of his forefathers' enemies? Did any of his Jewish family warn him of that?
