On the night of ‘World Donkey Day’ (I only discovered that afterwards!) I had a short, very strange dream/vision.
A small table was set (no surroundings) for my husband and me. He was seated and eating, oblivious of the fact that I was standing and there did not appear to be enough food for me. (My husband is not a Christian as yet).
Then, from the right, a wheeled trolley was pushed on, supporting a horizontal pole. Upon the pole were mounted 5 donkeys’ heads, which I knew had just been slaughtered, as one of the ears was twitching. The dream then finished.
I did not believe the dream was necessarily literal, as I did not resent not being able to eat; nor did I have an emotional reaction to the slaughtered animals. (I was more of an observer). In real life, I would have been devastated, so I believe that this was definitely prophetic, containing a message from the Lord.
I have some ideas as to the meaning and interpretation, but I would be intrigued to know what others think. Thank you and God bless, in anticipation...
A donkey can symbolize foolishness. Perhaps it is showing your husband feasting on the foolish things of the world?
Some things which I discovered later:
1) The first known illustration of Christ crucified was an etching depicting Him as having a donkey’s head.
2)In 2 Kings 5 there is a famine described in Samaria (which means watchman or watchtower) during which donkeys’ heads were eaten and cannibalism was rife.
3) In Venezuela recently, because of food shortage, people had taken to eating the heads of these beasts of burden.
Also, I do believe that the dream was prophesying forthcoming persecution of Christians, especially as regards decapitation. My belief is that this will occur after the first harpazo...
