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 But, Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and said to them-Jews, and all you that sojourn in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and attend to my words;15 for these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is but the third hour of the day:16 but this is that which was spoken by the Prophet Joel,17 «And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out a portion of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.»
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.
20 But while he was thinking upon this, an angel of the Lord appearing to him in a dream, said, Joseph, son of David, scruple not to take home Mary your wife; for her pregnancy is from the Holy Spirit.21 And she shall bear a son, whom you shall call Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
19 besides, while he was sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent him this message, Have nothing to do with this innocent person; for today, I have suffered much in a dream, on his account.)
Sabedoria sobre sonhos
A Bíblia ensina discernimento: nem todo sonho vem de Deus. Devemos entregar nossos planos ao Senhor e confiar na direção dele.
