Three Dreams of the Kingdom
from Robert Burgess 12/22/99
Recently, I experienced something quite unusual which I feel is most important to share with the Body of Christ. I had three dreams, or night visions on three consecutive nights; In these dreams God conveyed to me a revelation of the present state of the entire Church, which consists of a people within a people, within a people (Thirty, Sixty, and Hundred Fold). It is our earnest prayer that the Lord will use this Word to bring conviction, honest repentance, and to admonish us to press toward the mark of the High Calling of God in Christ Jesus more diligently than ever before. AMEN
The First Dream:
A Great Battle Forming
In the first dream I was on a camping trip high in the mountains of Colorado (somewhere near the resort areas of Aspen and Vale).. While there, the Lord began speaking to me concerning a great battle which was taking place in a distance locality. He told me He wanted me to join myself to this battle and that it would be revealed to me as I went along just exactly in what capacity I was to participate in it. Since I had hiked many miles into this remote location and there were no roads nearby, I found it necessary to hike back out through a high mountain pass where there was an exclusive resort area. This was the type of place where many of the rich and famous could be found vacationing. As I drew near, the sounds of a drunken party could be heard; and as the resort came into view we were amazed to see that the grounds were littered with drunken women who had fallen under the influence of strong alcoholic drink. I asked someone what the occasion was and they told me that it was a wedding party for some big aristocratic individuals which had been going on since the night before. The most remarkable thing was that there were hardly any men at all in attendance; the party was made up almost entirely of women. The manner of dress was very lavish, and they were all wearing heavy makeup, big, gaudy earrings and very expensive jewelry. They all wore silky evening gowns but they were split clear up to the hip. As I wound my way through the mass of bodies I heard a familiar voice calling my name, it was a man I had worked for previously, whom I hadn’t seen for some time. He was saying; “Bob Burgess, you’re just the man I have been looking for!”. I asked him how I could help, and he began to relate this story to me… He had a contract to supply the Government with these little one-man helicopters which were invisible on radar, and anyone could fly one, and could land it anywhere.. These little secret weapons were to be employed in the “Great Battle” which the Lord had spoken to me about previously; but because of saboteurs, the man hadn’t been able to deliver a single one. He told me that he needed someone like myself who was unknown in those parts who could go in to his factory and spy out who it was that was sabotaging the works. To make a long story short, I discovered that it was the man’s own sons who were doing the dirty work (There so happened to be FIVE of them, and I sensed even as I slept that they were symbolic of the Five-Fold Ministry).. They thought that they could discourage their father into signing the business over to them by sabotaging the operation of his helicopters.
The interpretation of the dream is this; The wedding party and the drunken women reveal the present condition of many of those in the outer court of the Kingdom.. I was reminded of the feast for the women which Queen Vashti ordained in the days of King Ahasheurus (See Esther 1: 9-12, etc.,); The drunken feast which the worldly church order is celebrating is not the marriage supper of the lamb, it is a marriage (or merger) with the systems and doctrines of men. Everywhere we hear the churches preaching “Reconciliation” and “Unity”, but beloved the truth is true Unity and Reconciliation cannot be had through doctrinal and Spiritual compromise.. There can be no Unity with God without true Repentance and Union with all of His Bride (Church) through a Baptism by one Spirit into One Body (See Eph 4:etc, 1Cor 12:12)… The drunken women represent those churches who are overdosed on the wine of their own doctrine, and overcharged with self righteousness and pride.. Much of the church in general is drunk from the overemphasis of every doctrine and experience from Holy Laughter (so-called), to “UR” and the “Rapture…” and they almost joyfully smite their fellow servants who are unwilling to imbibe in their excess!! These are not the conditions which are to attend and follow the Spirit Filled life.. The “sons” who had sabotaged their fathers helicopters are typical of the vast multitudes of ministers who are jealous of the Father’s Power and influence over the people, and secretly do all they can to frustrate the true operation of the Holy Spirit in the churches.. This is the present condition of the outer court.
The Second Dream
A Pentecostal Meeting
In my second dream, I was invited to participate in sponsoring a Fiftieth Anniversary Meeting which was being held to commemorate the ministry of a man named “Harry Angel.” I had never even heard of the man personally, but there were people involved who we both respected very highly in the Kingdom so we were delighted to accept the invitation. The meeting was to be held down south, somewhere in the state of Arizona, and the main speaker was a sister who was brought up under Sister Amee Semple MacPherson; in fact this dear lady was Amee’s “Pride and Joy” back in the Forties, and was quite a powerhouse in the “Latter Rain Revival” of the Fifties. The building was quite run-down on the outside, but was beautifully furnished on the inside, and could hold a good sized congregation of people.. I remember that when the speaker arrived she seemed more than a little perturbed at the outward conditions of the building. I was surprised to see in the congregation some who have quite a reputation for being troublemakers; we were equally surprised that these troublesome ones seemed genuinely to possess a good anointing and a right spirit..
After seeking the Lord for the interpretation of this dream and the identity of the man called “Harry Angel” I began to hear in my mind the strains of that old Christmas carol “Hark, the Harold Angels Sing…” Then I began to realize that it was almost exactly Fifty years ago that the Prophetic ministries of men like William Branham, W.V. Grant and others began to shake the church world like a mighty rushing wind. The Branham Revival of the late ’40′s and early ’50′s brought on and inspired what was later to be called the great “Latter Rain Revival” of 1948-1955 etc.. These were the “Herald Angels” whose Ministries were being celebrated by this host of Pentecostals. As I continued to pray and meditate on these things, my heart was touched deeply when I began to realize the strong comparison between this event and the times in which we now live, and that which took place long ago in the book of Ezra. The Scriptures teach that when the Foundation of the Restored Temple was laid again in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah that there were certain of the Priests and Levites present which were “Ancient Men” who had seen the “First House”… “But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy: So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: For the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.” (Ezra 3:12-13)…
As I prayed and thought on these things, the Lord spoke to me from the Prophet Haggai:
“Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? And how do ye see it now? Is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: And I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: And in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Hag 2:3, 6-9) ..
Regardless of how much corruption has crept into the realm of Pentecost, there is still a pure and Holy experience to be had in the Holy Ghost for those who truly seek him.. The promise of God to pour out his Spirit upon ALL FLESH has yet to be fulfilled in its entirety, but we are believing for great and wondrous things to take place in the near future. Last of all, consider that only those who have experienced a pure Pentecostal experience will be truly qualified to be a partaker of the Feast of Tabernacles.
The Third Dream
The Feast of Tabernacles
In my third dream I was invited (By an individual whom I understood to be the Lord Himself) to come and live in a great mansion. This was no ordinary mansion, for it had literally Hundreds of rooms in it, and each one was large and well furnished. I noticed that each room was used for its own particular purposes. In most ordinary homes one room could be used for multiple purposes, such as an office being in one corner of a family room, or a computer in the bedroom. But in this mansion, the bedroom was for sleeping, the Kitchen for cooking, the living room for kicking back and watching a little TV..
When I sought the Lord for the interpretation of this dream, He began to show me that in His Kingdom each and every ministry, or OFFICE would be specialized… In other words, a Pastor will no longer have to be an Evangelist and/or Prophet, but He will be able to concentrate his strength on that calling for which he was created. For years now, I have realized that many good ministers are being worn out and spread way too thin by trying to be a one-man-band in their Churches.. Of course, they are destined to face terrific battles and defeats at the hands of the enemy by following after this practice; this will not be the case in the coming Kingdom. I believe that the Feast of Tabernacles will bring about such unity and individual confidence in one’s self, and a true interdependency within the Body of Christ that all envy, strife, and Ministerial competition will be put down forever…
I began to see that most Ministries, as they are at the present time, are not qualified even to judge themselves, much less the Nations, or the Angels (See 1Cor 6:3). They are much too filled with self-pride, envy, and malice to be trusted with the exercise of either the “Dunamus” or the “Exusia” Power of God.. Friends; God is calling us to “Dwell together in Unity..” It is a MUST that we willingly lay down our Soul-Lives for one another, otherwise we cannot partake of the Power (or, Right) to “take it up again” in Christ… It is our earnest prayer that our readers will be admonished to Love one another as Christ loved His Church and died for it.. We are called to this same High Calling in Christ Jesus.

I understand that the Church is the woman/bride of Christ. From the revelations I had in subsequent dreams and experiences the bronze of the statue represents humanity and judgment. THe queen of the south Jesus spoke of in Luke 11 31 was included with Himself and Jnoh as a prphet that comes as a sign also. It doesn’t negate the fact the the Sons of God Company is The Bride/Church but that will be a prphet /female counterpart to Christ whichis Christ in a female form patterned after the likeness of Eve forshadowed by the the types and shadows in the OT. If you will follow closely the wording of verse 31 in Luke she si included in the JUST AS along with Himself and Jonah. At the end of the verse Jesus states that something greater than Solomon (and now, 2 something greater than Solomon is here!)
the Holy Spirit revealed to me that Jesus was speaking in heaven’s time. He juxtaposed Himself as being in that time as a male and int the time of judgment as her, both coming in the flesh.
I was led to this explanation that says perfectly the reason this must be. Humanity demands it and God will provide it As it was in beginning its now and evershall be MAN and WOMAN:
“The next Christ will perhaps be a female Christ. But do we see one woman who looks like a female Christ? or even like ‘the messenger before’ her ‘face,’ to go before her and prepare the hearts and minds for her?” (53). How, then, will women finally be emancipated from their patriarchal prisons? Who will lead them out of their moral wilderness? In “A Note of Interrogation” (1873), Nightingale would return to this belief that Victorian England boasted no prophets or saviors when she asks, “Who is to be the founder, who the Bacon, of a method of inquiry into moral service?” (577). Like Carlyle seeking heroes, Nightingale searches for saviors who will advance humanity’s condition. But unlike Carlyle, she would not necessarily look back to great men as “the modellers, patterns, and … creators,” but directly at women suffering under the dictates of a patriarchal culture (On Heroes 1).9 Unless women resensitize themselves and celebrate their pain, the new Christ, she argues, will never be born. Each suffering woman, then, like the unbelieved Cassandra, becomes one of the now missing “messengers” who could prepare the way for a female incarnation.
Then I was led to this:
Other teachings tell us that Jesus was both God and man and had the properties of both. If indeed this is the case there are interesting implications of this reality that must be brought to bear on any discussion of who is or is not a proper candidate for orders. God we believe from earliest tradition, both Judaic and Christian, is neither male nor female but, in the fullness of ineffable mystery and nature, both. God says, in Genesis: “Let us make man in our image, in the likeness of ourselves” and “in the image of God, male and female he created them.” In this passage, too, God is called Elohim, a feminine noun with a masculine plural ending. The point is that the “image” of God includes both male and female. In that case, it can be inferred that Christ, who is God as well as man, is also inadequately imaged by one sex alone and only The point is that though males are certainly closer types or pictures of Christ’s humanity they are no more a symbol of his divinity than women who in their person also recall the humanity of his birth.
God’s self-identity “I am who am” led the Israelites to forbid the creation of images that purported to identify and therefore limit the nature of God. The immanent tragedy is that the Church, despite social evolution and the developments of theology and science, stands on the brink of perpetuating an image of maleness in God’s very name. The intent and disposition of the minister, we have always been told, are not necessary to the sacramental act, but apparently maleness is. In the spiritual order of things, that is a difficult conclusion to draw.
What the present Declaration seems to intend with its argument for an exclusively male priesthood, then, is an historical description rather than the communication of the essential elements of sacrifice, re-creation, reconciliation and redemption. As the Declaration itself maintains, signs and symbols must be “easily perceptible.” What is not made conscious in the document is the fact that something becomes symbolic to a group because it conjures up for them common associations or meanings outside itself which speak to the group itself, its relationships or its fundamental purposes.
Consequently, as the group’s understanding of itself changes, its symbols must also change. When American settlers saw themselves as British citizens, the Union Jack and the Crown were important symbols of their identity. Once they saw themselves as a people distinct in place and purpose, they communicated themselves differently: as a collection of separate stars, an independent eagle.
As the followers of Jesus saw themselves less a Jewish sect and more a universal Church, their symbols changed, too.
Now, more and more, the Christian community becomes aware that the subordination of women – a result of the fall – is also lifted by Christ’s death and resurrection. “To put on Christ” is the right and responsibility of all of us, male and female. And if not the right, then it is not the responsibility either.
To maintain a symbol-system that is actually incomplete in its theological consciousness is to leave the Church with nothing but an historical sign of its very being. The questions the document raises for me need more of an answer than that to satisfy the fullness of a creation whose likeness is “made in the image of God, male and female he created them.”
the truth that we must see here is that Jesus Christ overcame the world, the flesh, and the devil and all that is involved in them, and that He overcame so thoroughly and delivered such a crushing defeat to the wily tactics of Satan that it is actually recorded by the Holy Ghost that the devil left Him and angels came and ministered unto Him. Matt. 4:11. Truly Jesus said, “The prince of this world cometh and findeth nothing in Me.” No wonder he left Him. I think we would be right to conclude that never again did Satan come to tempt the Lord, but his next efforts were to destroy Him.
In the foreshadow of Jael she destroyed Satan’s “Temple”: It was Jesus Christ who destroyed Satan but in a juxtaposing of Him as incarnated in a female. The male part was fininhed at Passover the female aspect will arise at Tabernacle. The very word Tabernacle suggests it. IN is the frist word in Genesis, meaning Beit, or house in Hebrew and Bat or bat as in Bathheba (seven in Hebrew as is The Queen of the South who is foreshadowed by the Queen of Sheba). Another foreshadow to make you aware, because the details of the Queen of the South plays out in the women of the OT such as Miriam: Num 12:15 >So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days, and the people did not journey on until Miriam was brought back in.
It is the reason the Sons of God are delaying the manifestation. This must be understood for them to keep moving ahead.
Your short answer that “she is the Bride”, sell this revelation a little short. Its the “rest” of the story its the fulfillment, and there’s no short anser for who The Queen of The South is. With a slight scrambling of the letters from SOUTH says SHOUT. Its the wing of Solomon’s Temple and the brozne laver of the wilderness Tabenacle that was made of the women’s mirrors (moon). She’s a sign to the Chrurch which she is apart of, the central figure who is a sign for the Church that the time is here to be led out of the wilderness into the light
The Queen of the South is the Bride of Christ
I have had several “night vision dreams” along with what I call “misty middle ” experiences. I had a deep and abiding Pentecostal Holy Spirit anointing experience along with a revelation that has yet to be revealed. In one dream I was in a great Cathedral which was breath takingly elaborate. In the exact center of the “Church” was a bronze statue of a woman lying back on her elbows with her knees up. Beneath her knees was a baby boy just birthed who still had his umbilical cord attached. She was turning very slowly on the pedestal, as if to be shown in all angles. I yelled for the people to look at her. Then I looked up at the ceiling of the Church, it was in the birthing position. Its rafters were wooden and in the shape of a W. Then I awakened with the essence of the dream still lasting 25 yrs. I had several other dreams like this which all related in one way or the other. I have studied the meaning and interpreted them all. THis revelation came to me when I asked them Lord who the Queen of the South was in Luke 11:31 I believe after all these many years and a long in depth study, the Holy Spirit has finally answered my inquiry. Its much too long to put here. I have tried to relate it to the people of the Kingdom union but to no avail. I know it will be soon because the time is so near, that someone there will be awakened to this same revelation. I don’t know who there to contact so I’m just putting this here. If there is someone who is interested please leave a message here.
