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.
Then Peter stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and declared to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. These men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
‘In the last days, says God,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.
Your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.

But as he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, Son of David, do not be afraid to receive Mary as yoʋr wife, for the child that is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and yoʋ shall name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
While Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: "Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream 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.
