Sonhos
Sonhos aparecem em toda a Bíblia como meio de revelação divina. Deus falou através de sonhos a patriarcas, profetas e servos, mas também alertou contra falsos sonhadores.
Sonhos como revelação divina
Deus usou sonhos para comunicar sua vontade a homens e mulheres ao longo da história bíblica, revelando caminhos e mistérios.
So Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and proclaimed to them: "Men—Jews and all who are dwelling in Jerusalem—let this be known to you; indeed, listen to my speech! Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only the third hour of the day), but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
‘It will be in the last days, says God:
I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh;
your sons and your daughters will prophesy;
your young men will see visions;
your old men will dream a dream.
Sonhos na história da Bíblia
De José no Egito a José pai de Jesus, Deus guiou a história da salvação através de sonhos, protegendo e dirigindo seu povo.
But while he pondered these things, wow, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying: "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as your wife, because that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will give birth to a Son and you will call His name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins."
Now as he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, because I suffered a great deal in a dream today because of Him."
Sabedoria sobre sonhos
A Bíblia ensina discernimento: nem todo sonho vem de Deus. Devemos entregar nossos planos ao Senhor e confiar na direção dele.
