I had a dream Saturday night, 10/18/08. All I remember is that I was in a hanger on a military base with two other soldiers. We were talking about our “buddy” and fellow soldier who died. Not sure if it was even in battle though? I recall myself having strong sense grief and weeping for the “buddy” and hugging the two soldiers in grief because I was so overwhelmed for this dead soldier. I’ve been praying about this and this is my interpretation.
I felt impressed to go to Jeremiah and query the word “weeping.” To my surprise, I found the following scriptures:
Jer. 9:1, “Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people.”
Jer. 13:17, “But if you do not listen, I will weep in secret because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, overflowing with tears, because the Lord’s flock will be taken captive.”
Jer. 14:17, “Speak this word to them: ” ‘Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for my virgin daughter–my people– has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow.”
The apostle Paul tells Timothy in 2 Tim. 2:3, ” Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”
Other soldier references are: 1 Cor. 9:7, Phil. 2:25, Philemon 1:2.
I believe I had ‘godly sorrow’, 2 Cor. 7:10, in me for the “buddy” who died. The buddy was my brother in Christ and the law killed him, Rom. 7:11. He may have not even died in the field of combat which is why I think I was uncertain. His death was unnecessary, possibly in vain and without purpose.
Typically, a hangar is a garage or storage facility for aircraft. These aircraft can be fighters, reconnaissance, or and long range bombers.
It seems we had the skill to fight wars from above. This reminds me of Isaiah 40:31.
Isaiah 40:31 reminds me of being filled with the Spirit of God which is only possible under the New Covenant by the finished work of Christ. So, I see the hangar as the New Testament Church under grace.
