Dear forum family, greetings. My name is Tom and I live in England. This is my first post on this forum. I have followed Elizabeth Marie's ministry on YouTube for at least two years, I can no longer remember when I started, I have grown to trust her prophetic content and I thank God for her testimony and her diligence in providing clear messages for God's people. Thankyou.

Now let me proceed to the dream I had recently but first some background. I am a gamer, and play a number of games including board game, card games, strategy games and wargames both on and off the computer. Many of these games are very involved and complex, and I like it that way. Some of you might relate to this, others not, only understand that this was nothing like a hand of poker or bridge or anything normally accociated with card games.

I tend to have my prophetic or message dreams at the edge of sleep just before I fully awake, to a large degree I can influence the dreams in a semi conscious state, but I am aware when I do. Most dreams fade but some have been very vivid and clearly remembered. I do not record my dreams, if I forget them I let them pass, if I remember them I later take note of them. Usually these dreams are very short. Most of my dreams are for myself but this mornings dream was not.

I was in a dark room with a poorly lit table there were several game players at the table, this was a serious game, we were all rivals and competent players and we represented great global powers although are all looked like professional middle aged western men in suits and did not visually represent our factions. I cannot recall how many players were at the table, I could see only one player clearly.

I could only see my own hand and I knew I had my own sideboard of game tokens which explained my position. This was not a game with which I was familiar, I instinctively knew this game was a construct for the dream and not for sale anywhere, though it has similarities with other strategy games. I had an intrinsic knowledge of this game and count accurately understand my position at point of play and how to use the tools and cards I had at my disposal.

I did not see my counters but I knew I had twelve gold coins to represent my economy, and other tokens representing powerful assets. I had a very large an impressive hand of cards. I did not have a quantity for any assets other than one card which earned four gold per turn if used, which was precious and hard to bring into play with many caveats. I also knew that twelve gold was not a huge active cash reserve for a faction as powerful as my own, but in every other respect my position was stellar. Some cards were themselves tokens representing military, economic and scientific assets I had. Others were more were more involved and had large textwalls of game abilities, some economic, others military and some giving unique ability, most normally clandestine. Most of my special cards were rare or even unique and highly enviable and game changingly powerful if utilised properly. My game position was very comfortable and very strong. I had a large number and diverse range of abilities that I could use, but I was missing linking cards needed to use the best cards in my hand, I could make strong play but was not able to execute my best cards in coordination with each other. I had need of other game pieces or cards to do that.

I had detailed information in the dream of only one card. A subterfuge ability that would disrupt an opponents economy enough to deny them tax revenue for two turns. This was a powerful and rare ability and like many of my most powerful cards would be considered an escalation of hostilities if they were played. Like my other special cards they had been in the hand a long time, I knew then that I had inherited this hand from another player, I also knew that the faction I was playing was the United States.

A short fat bald player to my immediate right who was only partly visible in the shadows played a card from his hand. He made remarks very quietly as he did so, I did not catch his words but they were very meek toned but threatening in their intent. I believe this player was China.

The card played was an exact copy of the economic disruption card I had in my own hand, it was played against my faction and I did not have any counter currently in my hand to this card. I looked at the one player I could see clearly, who I identified as Russia, and could see that he was in non-verbal agreement with China and could see China better than I could.

The twelve gold coins are enough to pay all my upkeep for one turn, after this I would have to discard a lot if not all of my position in the second turn of effect and I would be ruined.

The dream implied the card has already been played, and that in the dream I was about to play my futile first turn during which time I would lose my financial reserve but not appear to be harmed as yet, but be in a critical condition, it was a delayed killstroke. I recognised that I had time to play counters if I aquired the correct ones. I also inherited a position willing to consider playing the same card played against me against my factions rivals and had no moral superiority in this regards.

I took this dream to a prophet who analysed it and concluded that this was a call for intercessory prayer to protect the United States from a financial attack from China. The attack has either already begun but not had visual effect or was about to happen in the near future. i.e. the card game might represent a near future event or a current event, but not a past or distant event.

If the attack is not foiled within a very short window it will bring ruin to the United States, but said ruin is not yet inevitable. Making counterplay other than a defensive countermeasure was not the focus of the dream, the strong hand and its many powerful abilities was highlighted not as tools for a counterplay but an ante that will be forfeit if the financial attack is successful.

At the close of the dream I had made no play and I was given no indication of what the correct play should be. The United States cannot defend itself successfully against this play, only intervention from God can prevent this attack from being successful.

I do not know how long a turn lasts in this game, but there is a definite window and that exceeds the United States ability to endure on her own reserves. I had a strong feeling that waste and poor play had lowered the current reserve to the twelve coins. I know that the number twelve is significant and the reserve was a sizable sum of money but represented less than would be expected for a faction as strong as the United States.
