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.
14 Then Peter stood up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them, "Men of Judea and everyone living in Jerusalem! You must understand something, so pay close attention to my words.15 These men are not drunk as you suppose, for it's only nine o'clock in the morning.16 Rather, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:17 ‘In the last days, God says,I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy,your young men will see visions,and your old men will dream dreams.

Sabedoria sobre sonhos
