The dream then shifted to my arrival at the foreign country. I was coming down a hill and into a city where the buildings were varying shades of white. The climate was arid and the ground was covered with sand. I then walked under a portico covered entrance and into a building that was within the city. I had entered a motel. I came directly to my room where I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water in order to take a shower. The scene changed, the shower was completed, and I was bending over to clean the tub and remove my hair from the drain. I double checked it to be sure that it was clean and free of any remaining strands.
In the next scene I walked out of my room into a large gathering area. Turning to the left, I saw many people who were milling about. It was as though I had walked out of my room and directly into a crowd. After taking a few steps I turned the corner to the left to find that the crowd had remained behind me. Indeed, only a few people were in this area. A reception desk was to my left and sitting in a wheel chair in the center of the room was a woman I know, named Ruth. I haven't seen her in a couple of years and as I approached her I saw that she appeared a bit younger from the last time I had seen her. I squatted down when I came to her and asked how she was doing. She told me that she was fine and that she had gotten married. In real life, Ruth is divorced. Unable to discern her emotion, I asked her how she liked being married and again she said it was fine but I was not convinced. Her eyes were troubled and held warning, like she was trying to convey something to me but couldn't articulate what it was. In real life, I never knew Ruth to be dishonest. Not knowing what to do but knowing that I was too uncomfortable to continue talking with her, I ended our conversation, walked away from her presence and out of the building.
It was here that I was approached by a man who was around my age and height and dressed like the majority of the people who were in the motel. He had dark skin and hair and wore an off white tunic from his neck to his feet. The small turban on his head matched his tunic. He introduced himself as Ruth's husband. We began conversing and walking around the perimeter of the building, always turning to the left. I asked him simple questions to make small talk, the way one would do upon meeting someone for the first time. The only question I remember asking him was what he loved about living in his country because it was evident that he did. His arms gestured widely as he talked. His head was up as he gazed around the city's landscape and beyond to the hills.

The only question I remember asking him was what he loved about living in his country because it was evident that he did. His arms gestured widely as he talked. His head was up as he gazed around the city's landscape and beyond to the hills.
His answer to my question took me aback. He said, "Everything is better here! Even the sun rises in the west and sets in the east!" He went on to tell me that even it shined with more favor on them than on anyone else in the world.
As we walked counterclockwise around the building, he continued talking although I don't know what he said. It was as though I had tuned him out and my mind was elsewhere but I don't recall thinking about anything in particular, except for the fact that he would brush the side of my right hand with his left one like he wanted to hold it. It was most disconcerting but I figured that maybe it was a custom in this part of the world or that he was lonely and missed Ruth being able to go for walks with him and was looking for a connection to her through our friendship. So, with my logic and compassion, I reluctantly gave him a finger or two to hold. His grip was very light.
As we walked around the third corner of the building, thereby making it three fourths of the way around it, we came upon a man dressed like most of the other people I had seen in the dream, including the man beside me, only this man, a priest, was wearing all black instead of white. He sat behind a stone pillar that was about waist high. The pillar was the color of light sandstone and had a raised rim around the circumference. On top of the pillar was a folded piece of cloth that was off white and appeared to be linen. The man seated behind the pillar began to recite a prayer over us in a language that flowed and sounded melodic. Instinctively I knew that he was trying to join our lives together and I woke myself up, hearing in my spirit, "Unholy alliance". I asked the Father where I was, and He said, "Mecca."
As I have prayed about the meaning of the dream, these are the things that have come to mind.
It was the spring of the year as evidenced by the timing of Passover. Instead of being in the US, I went to Mecca. A place where I shouldn't have been and did not belong. I left the Father's will to come to a land that does not worship Him. Upon my arrival I cleansed myself and I also cleaned the tub, revealing that I naively intended to keep myself clean. Not just myself and my actions but also my surroundings.
Coming out of my room, I was surrounded by people. They were pressing in on me and the feeling was claustrophobic. I turned a corner and the focus was on Ruth who sat in the center. She was my friend and indeed that is what her name means, but her actions caused me not to believe her. My impression was that she felt forced into the marriage and that was a sham. It was evident to me that she did not love her husband and he was not a kind man. He appeared to be charismatic and peaceful, but the look in her eyes and what she left unsaid revealed something else entirely.
The thing that Ruth's husband did have an undeniable attachment to was his homeland. It went beyond what most American's would know as patriotism, it was everything to him! His religion, his politics, his devotion and loyalty and pride; his very being was embedded in the earth. I knew that there was nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for it.
Allowing him to lightly hold a finger or two revealed that I was in the wrong. It mattered little that I was a widow because he was a married man. I had intended to keep myself pure. I had no business allowing him to hold, even lightly, any part of me! My understanding of the situation was gravely mistaken!
The dream was given to me to show that a time is soon coming when the world will have one religion. We see the makings of it taking place. The ecumenical movement is getting stronger and has the support of many high profile religious leaders around the world. The fact that major religions of the world were represented in the dream: Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant, tells me that when they are in support of it, everyone will be pressured to submit.
A precious sister while in prayer about the coming days, heard this in her spirit:
Ecumenism will be the battle cry
Unity will be the marching orders
Signs and wonders will be the weapons of their warfare
Ruth was a "friend" who was afraid of her surroundings and circumstances and yet she was disloyal to me. Her eyes were full of warning, but she didn't disclose what she knew. This tells me that intimidation, manipulation, and control will be a means used to get people to cooperate and make them fearful of speaking out.
The crowd I entered into, where nearly every person was dressed exactly the same, were of one accord, one mind. The scene was oppressive and pressed in on me. This told me that there will be great pressure to join the new world order with it's one world religion. This pressure will be exerted not just by world's political and religious leaders, but by people belonging to those groups. As more people enter into the crowd, especially those close to us, it is imperative that those who are not taken in by this lie will need to stand in the face of the tribulation, which by Greek definition means pressure.
How will they do that? By following the example of the Messiah. He addressed the enemy by using the Sword of HIS Set-apart Spirit, which is the Word of Elohim. Adherence to His Word, His Commandments and His Teachings by the power of His Spirit is how to stand in the face of pressure.
Why did I emphasize HIS Spirit? Because there are seducing spirits at work that will cause such strong, spiritual manifestations to come forth from these leaders and their followers, that if it were possible they will deceive even the elect. Their plans will sound sensible and spiritual; even right. Enough of the Bible and what are considered by many to be their holy books will be quoted to make it sound palatable to the world's religions. Where that doesn't work, their methods will turn savage, because make no doubt about it, this is spiritual to them and they mean to win. YHVH interrupted the plans of ancient Babylon, and the demons that have always driven this know full well that He will interrupt it again, but they will drag as many people as they can with them into hell where there awaits eternal death.
"And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
And they kept the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, what they could not keep the Passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
and those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we many not offer an offering of the Lord in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the Lord will command concerning you. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover unto the LORD.
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of Passover they shall keep it.
But if the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep Passover, even the same soul shall be cut off among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the Passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the Passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land."
Numbers 9:4-14
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? HE is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, that same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him."
1 John 2:18-29
"Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in fear of God."
2 Corinthians 7:1
I had to search for the meaning of the sun rising in the west and found that it is a prophecy given in the Quran and the Hadith. I also learned that people who worship Allah walk counterclockwise around the Kaaba.
