3-13-2017 I dreamed I was overlooking a large right of way (ROW) in the country that went from east to west. It was like an extra large utility right of way about as wide as an interstate but there was no sign of a utility. Ukrainian soldiers were fighting a war to keep the right of way and they had dug in facing west but they were fighting a loosing battle taking fire and being slaughtered front and back, mostly from the back. Other Ukrainian reinforcements were sent from the east to join the soldiers but they were being mowed down, mostly from the back and only a few made it to their dug in comrades. Then I felt I had no choice but to expose myself and run along the right of way in the same direction from east to west, to flee the enemy fire so I ran down the hill towards where the soldiers had dug in. I ran along the north side of the ROW expecting to be mowed down at any time myself but I was not. As I ran the ROW became much more narrow and seemed to turn north and then east eventually becoming a path. Where the ROW started to narrow I met another man who was also fleeing to find cover and I lead him on not knowing if he was an enemy. Then, about where the ROW turn north we met another man also fleeing and then another. When we met the fourth man he said something about a Russian submarine being close by. About this time we came to a coastal port, Norfolk VA, and we approached a war ship anchored there, a foreign vessel and were about to take our chances by surrendering ourselves to the safety of that ship. End of dream. Here's my understanding: The large right of way that was being defended represents the civil rights and freedoms that are protected by the American Constitution. This is now the true theater of war. The Constitution has come and will come under greater attack because of threats to national security from Russia, especially it's submarine and naval power. The Ukrainians represent patriotic Americans who think that the Second Amendment is the answer to Constitutional security. Christ however says those who take the sword will perish by the sword. The Christian's weapons are not carnal but spiritual. Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, understood the principle that the battle for religious and civil freedom depends on the people themselves respecting the God given rights of conscience of every person. The dream is a warning that while Patriotism is a very good and essential thing, it is not enough in this battle for the minds and hearts of America. We have to put on the whole armor. My running the ROW unprotected but not hit represents those who attempt to make the argument that our national security is to be found in obedience to the law of God, not in the weapons of war. This argument will be rejected and the beast will come to power and the broad interstate size ROW will be lost and transformed into a narrow, difficult foot path where no one is secure and freedoms have vanished. But the beast authority will not save America. It will have the opposite effect because in forsaking the will of God America will no longer have the benefit of His protection. The Russian vessel in Norfolk harbor, the most important naval port on the East Coast represents the fall of America. Her misguided attempt to restore her security by imposing strict conformity to a state controlled religion and a religion controlled state will end in disaster. The true spirit of patriotism will warn that national security is only to be found in willing obedience to the will of God.
