In Feb 2021, I started to understand the Bible differently. Till then those dreams meant nothing. In his attempt to reform or change the situation, the minister of the Presbyterian church started a Bible reading program. And I joined it and read 4-5 chapters a day. And one morning, I realized that my understanding of the Bible changed. I thought, “How is it possible? Is this the work of the Holy Spirit?” I grew up thinking I had the Holy Spirit because all churches I went to made me think so. But the fundamental role of the Holy Spirit to teach God’s words. The Lord led me straight to the Reformed doctrines and it took me only a short time to understand TULIP. Then I realized the meanings of the dreams and why it was warning to the minister because he hated TULIP. I wrote an email to him five times and explained what each letter of TULIP meant each time in the hope God’s wrath won’t fall on him. Altogether the length was about 20 pages long. But the minister refused. And we left the church because my job at the church was done. Six months later I heard he lost his fight with the elders and left the church. The elders were not following the right doctrine. The church was their battle ground for power. They also did not care about God’s flock. But then most people going to that church did not care about God’s words. God let them do what they want to do. My mother said that was the scariest thing – God left them stay blind.

After having the dreams and understanding TULIP, I realized I was given a special gift. But I was not overjoyed. In fact, I was shocked, puzzled, and afraid because the task given to me was not going to bring me glory (in a worldly sense) but rather insults and humiliation. Most will neither listen nor understand what I write here. And recently it was shown in my dream that some may think my dreams are astonishing, but they will not change. This is also written in the Book of Jeremiah.

In between those four dreams, I had other dreams which I will describe in the next one. All dreams are related to the judgements on churches especially those who are supposed to defend the Five Solas and TULIP but are rebellious.

My mother learned the Reformed theology from a Presbyterian minister before she moved in with me. And I also went to the same church briefly in my youth. But I did not understand what he talked about. What I learned from him was the meaning of exodus in the redemptive history and Christ in the OT. He taught many students in the past and was (and is) a great admirer of Calvin. However, I did not come across the TULIP doctrine till 2017. Even if I did previously, my mind did neither hear nor understand it. In my 20s, after leaving his church, I went to a Pentecostal Baptist church. So it is obvious that I did not understand the doctrine of TULIP then.

When I noticed a sudden change in my understanding as I read the Bible, I wanted to get assurance that this was the work of the Spirit. The passage I was going to read that day was about the woman who anointed Christ before His death. I prayed to God and began to read. And I later looked up online and the interpretation of the passage was the same as Calvin’s. Then I read the first chapter of the first book of the Institute of the Christian Religion written by Calvin. Calvin wrote about the knowledge of God. I realized that was what changed in me – the knowledge of God. Then I googled and found information on the Reformation. There were some useful resources online. When I first heard about TULIP, I could not believe that there are the elect and the reprobate. But as I read the Book of John, the Book of Acts, and the Romans, I accepted that TULIP was orthodox.

Then my question was: “Why does God show me those dreams if there are Reformed churches who follow the orthodox doctrines and they have ministers and seminaries?”

The two black shepherd dogs and the two bulls were interpreted as the Roman Catholic and the Protestant. And I asked, “Lord, if they follow the Reformed doctrine, they must be doing well. They have got their seminaries, teachers, and ministers. They will speak as prophets. So I do not need to.” Around that time, I tried to enrol to a local Bible seminary thinking that was God’s will. Then I had this dream. I got onto a bus to go to a school. But the bus was a very old diesel bus. The diesel stench was so strong that I felt like vomiting. I had to get off. I decided to walk. But then it was a long journey so I stopped at a bakery where there were many fresh bread and pastries. I bought some and ate as I reached to the school. As I entered, I had to go through a test to get into. A teacher made me sing. And I was not that great but passed. There are more useful information on the Reformation and orthodox theology online than in seminaries. That is why the Lord invented the telecommunication starting with the Morse code. “What hath God wrought” (Num 23:23).

When I woke up and told my mother about the dream. She also dreams and foresaw the end of the Soviet Union in her dream when Gorbachev was quite popular. Her dreams are also related to churches. She said, “There is the school of the Holy Spirit.” And it started to make a sense. I understood why the Lord showed me the rebellious two animals, a mad mother (church) not feeding her children, wild animals causing much dust on a mountain (I think it was about the corruption of worship), opening a school and waiting for students in my dreams.

After leaving the Presbyterian church, we joined another. It was a small church with about 50 adult members. The minister taught the Reformed doctrines and also paid much attention to youth group. However, as a lazy student, I was not interested in learning. They looked too wordy to me and I was not interested in theology. But I started to read the Reformed doctrines.
