In the war-torn region of Gaza, a remarkable story is unfolding, echoing the biblical prophecies of the end times. According to Christian professor Michael Licona, more than 200 Muslim men have experienced life-altering visions of Jesus in their dreams, leading them to embrace Christianity.
Licona, a New Testament Studies professor at Houston Christian University, shared this extraordinary account through a Facebook post:
Quoting a report from underground Christian ministries in the Middle East, Licona revealed, “Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams! They have come back to us to learn more from God’s Word and are asking how to follow Jesus.”
This miraculous event parallels the biblical accounts of visions and dreams during the end times. Acts 2:17 says: “In the last days it shall be,’ God declares, ‘that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.'”
These conversions are not isolated incidents, as similar reports surfaced before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. Assemblies of God missionary Dick Brogden emphasized the significance of dreams, stating, “Dreams are contributing to revelation … the process of evangelism and conversion.”
These spiritual events serve as a reminder of the biblical teachings about the end times. In Matthew 24:42, Jesus instructs, “Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come.”
As believers, it is crucial to remain vigilant and faithful, sharing the message of salvation through Jesus. Despite the ongoing conflict, the transformative power of these dreams demonstrates that God’s grace, love and mercy can reach even the most challenging circumstances.
Licona, expressing his perspective on the Israel-Hamas conflict, urged prayers for the war’s end and the liberation of Palestinians from the oppressive influence of Hamas. This aligns with the Christian call to seek peace even with those who do not believe, as stated in Romans 12:18: “If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.”
In times of uncertainty, these visions serve as a beacon of hope, reinforcing our faith in the redemptive power of Christ. As we navigate the complexities of the end times, we can draw inspiration from these conversions and continue to share the love and teachings of Jesus. {eoa}
