Chinese Soldiers in America

   I have been reluctant to share these two dreams partly because I haven't the full interpretation of them yet but mostly because of all the "Judgement of America" prophesies that are around today. This is not to say that we are not being judged. I just have had no definitive words in that area. Many of the judgment prophecies that are out there are prone to create fear in their readers. I have no wish to create fear in anyone. I believe that prophecy should exhort and encourage when possible. However the Lord also warns us and sends us words in dreams and visions to warn us to be prepared. I have no way of knowing if we will be invaded by any foreign army or if this dream is prophetic, But I do know that when God gives warnings it is so that we can pray and ask Him to divert them. That is why I have decided to relate these two dreams now, so that we may pray and ask God to reveal His will for our Nation as well as each individual person and how to pray for our nation.   Ray Cleghorn

 The first dream I had as a child in the fifties. I was not old enough to know much about armies or soldiers but I knew instinctively who these were. I saw Chinese soldiers very vividly in this dream. They were dressed in the quilted pajama uniforms of that era. They had surrounded our home and were just standing and staring at our house as if afraid to proceed. A short fat sergeant with a submachine gun came up to them and berated them for being cowards. I could not understand his language but I knew what he was saying to them. He finally said "If you are not brave enough then I will show you how." The dream ended when he started to walk down the walk to our house. The dream freighted me at the time. I eventually laid it aside but never forgot it. I have felt for some time that the reason they were afraid was that they saw angles above our house.

 The next dream came about 45 years later in 1997. This was a very unusual dream in that I had never before nor since ever dreamed that I was someone else other than myself. This dream started with me being a Chinese lad of about 18 years of age I was sitting a low table with people I knew to be my parents. I was sitting some distance from them at the other end of the table preparing to eat something like a role or a biscuit with meat inside it.  The meat was not visible but I knew it was there. The man who was my father was about 42 years old. He was a fairly high-ranking officer in the Chinese army. Next to him was a Chinese woman about 40 years old looking at me with motherly concern. I knew they were unsure of me as if our spirits did not match and they could not figure me out.

  I stated to them that I wanted to finish my meal in the garden so that I could meditate. This pleased them very much as they thought that I was going to meditate on Buddha. I thought to myself "They wouldn't be so proud of me if they knew that I was going to meditate on Jesus". As I left the house and started down the hill towards a small creek in the flower garden I felt that there was a spirit in the garden that I did not like. Them I heard a voice say it's the spirit of the "Nineteen Sixties".

  Immediately upon hearing this I was transported back to the U.S. and was myself at this point. I was in someone's home looking out the window at the same view that I had seen in China, down a hill through a flower garden, except the creek had been replaced with a street. There were Chinese soldiers in the street shooting at men in a small clump of trees and bushes, These men were armed only with shotguns and small arms and were no match for the soldiers who were advancing on them walking upright and shooting as they went.

 At that point some one came into the room and said "These are the last of the home guard. When they are gone there are no more left." I then became very concerned for my wife and children I felt that they might be forced into slave labor. As I began to wonder what I should do the dream ended.

 These types of dreams can be fearful if taken literally, however most dreams are symbolic in nature not literal. I believe that we should pray that nothing like this happens in America or anywhere else. We should read and claim Psalms 91 for our families and ourselves. I believe that God will make a way for His children.
