In the Prophetic realm both the Old and New Testament attest
to Yahweh giving personal or general messages to his people.
These are commonly known as a Revelation. The most prominent
one being the Revelation of John.
Lately, on my mind. I was troubled by several things. Namely,
the idea of Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins. Also, the Hebrew
Nation's connection to Yahweh. Specifically, Modern Day Israel.
Hebrews believe that the Dead transition from Gehenna a place of
spiritual purification for the wicked dead in Judaism to Olam Ha-Ba
(world to come). Islam purports that Allah weighs the Righteous Deeds
versus Evil ones on a scale to determine who goes to Paradise.
Mainstream Christianity is broken into Armenian versus Calvinist
Theology. In layman's terms both generally believe that the Blood of
Yeshua is the means whereby Sins are Forgiven once and for all.
How they differ, Calvinists believe in 'Once Saved always Saved'.
Armenians believe that 'Once Saved followed by Repentance Saved'.
Both have valid scriptural arguments. I did not write this to debate the
efficacy of one or the other, but rather, share a dream that i had.
In my Dream. A Dark Cloak enveloped me. It Scared Me in my mind
and i also heard a voice saying Luke 7. These are two conclusions
i came up with. The Centurion represents the Goyim (Nations) and
his devotion to Yeshua's Brethren. The Woman with the Alabaster
Perfume Jar, came to the Master, in Sorrow, and received Unconditional
Forgiveness. Only the Master can Forgive Sin and her action of Loving
Much was the fruit of repentance. What do you think?
invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would
know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”
40 Then Jesus answered his thoughts. “Simon,” he said to the Pharisee, “I have
something to say to you.”
“Go ahead, Teacher,” Simon replied.
41 Then Jesus told him this story: “A man loaned money to two people—
500 pieces of silver[i] to one and 50 pieces to the other. 42 But neither of them
could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do
you suppose loved him more after that?”
43 Simon answered, “I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.”
“That’s right,” Jesus said. 44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon,
“Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer
me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears
and wiped them with her hair. 45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the
time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You neglected the
courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare
perfume.
47 “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown
me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.” 48 Then
Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The men at the table said among themselves, “Who is this man, that he goes around
forgiving sins?”
50 And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

7 When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people, he returned to
Capernaum. 2 At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer[a]
was sick and near death. 3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent
some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave. 4 So
they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help,
he does,” they said, 5 “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a
synagogue for us.” ~ Luke 7: 1-5 NLT
36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went
to his home and sat down to eat.[h] 37 When
a certain immoral woman from
that city heard he was eating there, she
brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled
with expensive perfume. 38 Then
she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping.
Her tears fell on his feet,
and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept
kissing his feet and
putting perfume on them. 39 When
the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would
know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”
40 Then Jesus answered his thoughts. “Simon,” he said to the Pharisee, “I have
