A Primer for Visions, Dreams and
Prophecies (INCOMPLETE)
The Seer as the “one
who sees” in the Hebrew and the “glancing one” in the Septuagint.)
·
The Septuagint (70 books) is the Greek translation of the
OT.
·
The Septuagint or the Greek OT defines “seer” as the “glancing
one.” The prophet simply needs to
glance and see in the Spirit to the point that he or she instinctively knows
what the Lord says, not needing the acquisition or learning of progressive
knowledge, which is discernment. They
can then prophesy by this type of spiritual glancing, and seeing to produce
instinctive knowledge.
I Sam 9: 18 Septuagint ¶ And Saul {1} drew near to Samuel into the midst of the
city, and said, Tell me now {2} which is the house of the seer? (Which is the
house of the glancing one?)
1 Sam 9:19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me
unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let
thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
·
A high place- the possession of key terrains to the extent of the
acquisition of firm control in the spiritual realm.
·
The dignity of the prophet.
The ability to declare to others what is within their hearts.
Visions as a Documentation
of History
2 Chronicles 9:29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not
written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the
Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of
Nebat?
·
The only instance
of the use of this particular genre of vision amongst a broad family of
visions. In this case the visions of
Iddo represented part of the historical collection pertaining to the life of
Jeroboam.
·
Visions prompted through an Ecstatic State.
(The Strong’s family of visions # 1611 in
the NT and # 04236 in the OT)
Ekstatis ( Strong’s #
1611)
·
That of a
man who by some sudden emotion is transported as it were out of himself, so
that in this rapt condition, although he is awake, his mind is drawn off
from all surrounding objects and wholly fixed on things divine that he sees
nothing but the forms and images lying within, and thinks that he perceives
with his bodily eyes and ears realities shown him by God.
·
The result of
being so immersed in the Spirit of God, in which the Spirit of God floods,
titillates, and controls all of the sensory perceptions of the minister.
Acts
10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have
eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance
·
Greek: Fell
upon him ekstatis.
Ac 11:5 I
was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it
had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even
to me:
·
Greek; I
saw (seeing that creates knowledge) in ecstasy, a vision.
Ac 22:17 And it came to pass,
that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I
was in a trance
·
Greek: I became in ecstasy.
Gen 15:1 ¶ After these things the word of the LORD came
unto Abram in a vision, saying (rhematic discourse), Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and
thy exceeding great reward.
Hebrew:
The logos ( concept) word of the Lord came to Abram rhematically speaking.
Sept:1 ¶ And after these things the word of the
Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I shield thee, thy
reward shall be very great.
·
Septuagint;
The rhema word of the Lord came “ into fellowship” with Abram in the
sphere or the Septuagint
tells us that God uses visions to give us rhema words.
·
A trance type of vision, or a vision in an ecstatic state.
·
This family
of visions has a prophetic function to it.
·
Prompted through
a state of spiritual ecstasy
·
This type of
vision can occur while in an awaken state.
·
The following are the other three scriptural instances of this
genre of vision. The #0436 is the Strong’s number associated with
it.
Numb 24:3 And
he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man
whose eyes are open
hath said:
·
( Septuagint)3 And he took up his parable and said, Balaam son of Beor says, the
man who sees truly says, The man who
discerns with accurateness and according to fact.
4 he
says who hears the oracle(
Who is hearing the
rhematic discourse of God) of the Mighty One, who saw a vision of God( Who saw the vision of God with
discernment) in sleep; his eyes were opened:( uncovered as in “apocalypses” spiritual
revelation)
Nu 24:4 He hath said, which heard
the words of God, which saw
the vision of the Almighty,
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
·
Septuagint:
Who discerned the vision of God while in the realm of sleep, his eyes being
uncovered. (Spiritual
eyes.)
·
The
Septuagint tells us that in Balaam’s physical eyes being asleep caused his
spiritual eyes to be opened. To the
proportion that we close our natural sensory perceptions as we submerge
ourselves into the world of the Holy Spirit is to the proportion that our
spiritual sensory perceptions will be opened.
·
Please
observe with me the Hebrew exegesis of the same verses, as follows.
Numb
24:3 And he took up TWOT-1421; v his parable, and said) to say, speak, utter, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and
the man whose eyes are open hath said:
· Balam has his outer senses closed so that he could have his
inner senses opened. The outer perception is closed to the world so that the
inner one could be opened.
· Whose (spiritual) eyes are unclosed has
uttered prophetically as and oracle of God through the unclosed condition of
his spiritual eyes.
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God (The rhematic sayings of God), which
saw the vision of the Almighty(Shadday) TWOT-2333);, falling (to fall prostrate, prostrate oneself
before) into a trance, but having his eyes open:
·
Falling down by the power of
God
· Hebrew translation; He has uttered forth prophetically as he is
hearing the “rhematic discourse “of God. This being the result of seeing
visions of God, which have given him revelations to speak forth prophetically.
These visions came while in a trance, where his spiritual eyes were made naked.
·
Our spiritual
eyes must be made naked and unclosed if we are to truly minister in the Spirit.
Eze 13:7 Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination,
hereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
·
A trance type of vision, or a vision in an ecstatic state.
·
This family
of visions has a prophetic function to it.
·
Prompted
through a state of spiritual ecstasy
·
This type of
vision can occur while in an awaken state.
·
The following are the other three scriptural instances of this
genre of vision.
Ecstatic
Prophesying
·
The seer, the “Hozeh” or “Roeh”, in the Hebrew is
the “seeing one.
·
In the
Septuagint, he or she is called the “glancing one.”
·
The seer is
the prophet that sees in the Spirit in the dimension of visions and dreams,
Most of these prophetic revelations occur within the realm of the personal
relationship with the Lord. The reception of dreams and visions is the product
of the prophet’s personal communion with the Lord. The messenger as to his or
her subjective work in receiving revelations from the Lord.
·
The prophet,
as to public ministry is the “Nabiy” or spokesperson for the Lord. The prophet obtains privately from the Lord
in the mode of a seer, and speaks out publicly in the mode of a prophet or
“Nabiy.” The Nabiy is the objective or active work of the messenger.
·
The “Nabiy” is defined as the
one “who bubbles up” or “speaks in a frenzy”.
·
The culmination of the
prophet’s office to speak as a Nabiy ecstatic state. In this manner of speaking,
the prophet’s vocal chords are under the control and the impulses of the Lord’s
mouth deep within their spirit.
·
When I was asking the Lord
how to speaks in this ecstatically activated “frenzied manner”, or by the
speaking forth of God’s rhema discourse as it bubbles up from within the
spirit, the Lord showed me ‘His mouth” deep in my spirit.
·
Please look with me at some
of the following scriptures that will confirm this.
·
Notice the Hebrew translation according to the commandment of the LORD should
really translate as “At the mouth of Yahweh”. Please look with me at some of the
following scriptures to confirm this.
Exodus
17:1 And all the congregation of the children of
Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the
LORD
(As by the mouth of Yahweh), and pitched in
Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Numbers
4:37 These were they that were numbered of the
families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD(At the mouth of Yahweh), by the hand of Moses.
Numbers
4:41 These are they that were numbered of the
families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle
of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment (At the mouth of Yahweh), of the LORD.
·
When we speak with our human mouths,
we do not think of what we are going to say. Our instinctual thought patterns
are perfectly synchronized with our mouths so that the thoughts, which are
created, are vocalized as utterances almost simultaneously.
· When we speak ecstatically “at the
mouth of God”, His mouth, deep within our spirits, seizes and titillates
our vocal chords in the same way that our mind seizes and titillates our vocal
chords when we speak from a human standpoint.
·
The deeper that we live in
the world of the Spirit, the closer that we live “By the mouth of the Lord”
which dwells deep within our spirits. Likewise, the more that the Lord’s mouth
will be able to influence and titillate our vocal chords to bring forth His
rhematic discourses.
Mat 3:11 I
indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is
mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with
the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
· I am not sure if the expression “and
with fire” is in the Greek mood “of location” (IN FIRE) or the one of
“instrumentality” (WITH FIRE).
· In either case it does not really
matter. We have been submerged not only
into the world of the Holy Spirit, but likewise into the world of the Holy
Spirit’s fire.
· We have been taught, that the baptism of
fire is what the Lord uses to purge and purify us. However, fire also has the
property, which heats and causes water to boil.
· Therefore, the deeper that we live in the world
of the Spirit, the more in contact we shall come with that fire which causes
the ministry of the NABIY to come forth as he or she speaks up through the
bubbling up, or the frenzying of the Spirit’s water as they boil up by the
action of the “baptism with fire.”
· My friend Leo Lesaca, like wise saw a
vision in which we become engorged with the fullness of the Spirit, and the
rhematic discourses of God are literally vomited out of our mouths.
·
Gen 46:2 And God spake unto Israel
in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
·
God speaks
in the sphere or in the world of a vision
Ex
38:8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot
of it of brass, of the lookingglasses
of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
·
Looking
glass or mirror is the same word used for this type of vision.
Nu
12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be
a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision and will speak unto him in a dream.
SEPT: 6 And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a
prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.
(In sleep I will
utter “prophetically” to him.)
Eze
1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year,

Eze
8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and
took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth

inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy,
which provoketh to jealousy.
SEPT3 And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the
crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a
vision ( and
led me into Jerusalem in the sphere of, or by a vision) of God, to the porch
of the {1} gate that looks to the north, where was
the pillar of the {2} Purchaser. {1)
Eze
40:2 In the visions <04759> of God brought he me into the land of
Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a

SEPT1
¶ And it came
to pass in the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the first month, on the
tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the taking of the city, in
that day the hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me
2
in a vision of God into the land of Israel ( And led me in a vision or by a vision into the land of
Israel), and set me on a very high mountain, and upon it there was as it
were the frame of a city before me.
Da
10:7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision <04759>: for the men that were with me saw not
the vision <04759>; but a great quaking fell upon them, so
that they fled to hide themselves.
Sept:
7 And I Daniel only saw the vision (a sight, a vision, an appearance
presented to one whether asleep or awake): and the men that were with me
saw not the vision(a
sight, a vision, an appearance presented to one whether asleep or awake) ;
but a great amazement fell
upon them (a great ecstasy fell upon them), and they fled
in fear.

“Mouth, according to mouth.”
·
In other words, the very life; (its
regulations, restrictions, and boundaries dictating the prophet’s life as it
consumes him,) is the mouth of the Lord dwelling within the prophet’s spirit. God’s spiritual mouth must be revealed
within the prophet as it controls the prophets’ mouth, by opening it and
bubbling up to it the rhematic discourse of the Lord.

¶ And it came
to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall
do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double TWOT-2421a portion TWOT-1738; of thy spirit be upon me.
·
“A double portion” Hebrew translation “DUAL MOUTHS”
·
The double portion of God’s
Spirit is not a multiplication or stacking up of the Spirit’s power. It is not
a “doubling up” of an item. The Hebrew
tells us that it signifies ‘duality” or “two’s”
·
A double portion can be
likened to two set of wheels in a big truck that gives it stability, or seeing
through the two eye pieces of a binocular which gives fullness of vision, or
the counsel of two mouths which gives us wisdom.

· Visions “ valley of vision” or the vision
either in a dream, or as the result of an ecstatic state which produces
revelation, or a vision which produces a prophecy

intensive tense showing to us the importance of visions in the ministry of
prophets.

Zech
1:1 ¶ The
burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be
the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall
be toward the LORD.
· The burden – The prophetic utterance as an
oracle of God. Burdens were usually
prophetic utterances of a judgmental nature. The utterance did not focus on the
prophet but on the object of their prophecy.
Full of weight and labor, hence something which must be carried
· An oracle in reality was another name for
the Holy of Holies. When used as a prophetic utterance, to me, it shows me that
the utterance must come from the very presence of God.
To see: Is in the perfect
tense. Habakkuk uttered prophesied only
after seeing the completed rhema word.
The seeing in this scripture is the result of a vision. The vision comes
either in an ecstatic state prompted by the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Or it
is also to prophecy as the result of the vision.
Num 11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of
the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden (
either the burden of ministry or prophetic utterances which administer
government)
TWOT-1421d, 1421e; of
the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
