Explore the captivating 'Dream of Neptune People' at Jehovah Saints. Immerse yourself in a world of inspiration and faith. | Christian News Today My Dream of the Neptune People Author: Michael Hopkins A Spiritual Encounter In a recent dream, I found myself in the presence of beings from the planet Neptune. These extraordinary people, who have a stronger faith in God than we do, came to Earth to protect me. Their spacecraft was a sight to behold: rectangular, brown with rainbow colors adorning the sides. The Neptune men, standing at about 5 feet 10 inches tall, had black hair cut straight across the front, and black eyes, peaceful eyes. Despite their average appearance, they possessed incredible strength. The women, equally striking with their long black hair, black eyes were beautiful and graceful. The Arrival and the Mission The Neptune people surrounded my house, ready to protect me. However, they were momentarily distracted by beautiful women angels and left their post. During their absence, I was spiritually attacked by demons. Although the Neptune people returned, the damage had been done. This experience reminded me of the importance of unwavering vigilance in spiritual warfare. “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” - Psalm 91:11 The Role of the Neptune People Interestingly, the Neptune people integrated into our society by taking on various jobs. Some worked at McDonald’s, while others became police officers. Regardless of their occupation, their primary mission was to protect us. By spreading out and working in different places, they could offer better protection. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12 The End Times and Spiritual Warfare The dream also touched on the end times, as described in the Book of Revelation. The Neptune people, with their love for music (hence the word “tune” in Neptune), and their ability to travel through doors between planets, symbolize the spiritual battles we face and the divine protection we receive. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.” - Revelation 12:7 Conclusion This dream was a vivid reminder of the spiritual realm and the battles that occur beyond our physical sight. The Neptune people, with their faith and strength, serve as a metaphor for the divine protection we receive from God and His angels. It also highlights the importance of staying vigilant and faithful, even when faced with distractions and challenges. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” - Exodus 14:14 May this dream inspire you to strengthen your faith and remain steadfast in your spiritual journey.
