Dream 884 – Breakthrough and Zoey encourage me

Dear Father,
Thank You for another day here! Thank You for all You have done for me and our house. You never stop showing Your love in an infinite number of ways every day. Thank You for the picture You sent my way that looks so much like the upgraded Heavenly version of the bridge that is in our front yard…
Even so, to stop and sit in quiet reflection is painful. I have about 35,000 photos in my cloud. They are categorized in years. I had been trying to recall something that You brought forward from years ago into a dream. I am speaking about my jasmine tree.
After all of these years, it finally died last week. It never recovered from being pruned in September 2024. The vines were long and wild. I had allowed this because the vines then looked ‘cool’. Well, this meant that the rest of the tree was losing nutrients. I had let these wild branches suck the life out of other portions of the tree.
On a warm day in September 2024, I went outside with my pruning shears. I cut the branches down. While I had done this many times before over the years, my little tree never came back this time. I then had my husband take it out to the porch outside. Well, a gust of wind came up yesterday and blew it over. Dirt flew everywhere.
He then volunteered to clean it up while I continued with my chores. When I came back, I asked him what he did with the tree. He then showed me the broken tree in a large garbage bag. My eight years of battles with this tree had officially come to an end. So many times, I brought this tree back from the brink of certain death. This time though, there was no coming back. Despite my best efforts, it was time to let go.
I had a tearjerking dream last night…
Sub-dream 1 “Breakthrough and Zoey encourage me” begins…
I thought I had heard my dog, Zoey, barking at something. I went to investigate, but then remembered she was gone. I felt a breeze coming from the front door. My initial reaction was ‘oh no, Zoey got out!’ I then once again remembered that she was gone. I then took note that it looked around late spring turning into summer.
I then heard barking coming from outside again. This time, I remembered that Zoey was gone. I put on my rubber boots and my light jacket and went outside. I looked to the yard area where the bird feeders were, but there was no dog. I heard the barking again, so I decided to go to the back yard.
Me: “Lord, am I hearing things?”
I began to turn back to the front door when I heard a whistle coming from the area of the creek. I walked over and saw the now ‘upgraded bridge’ (see the photo at the beginning of this dream). I began to cry even as I wrote. I then heard the whistling of Breakthrough. However, I could not see him. It was coming from across the bridge.
I began to walk across the bridge. As I did, I went from an okay landscape into a lush and beautiful place of so much life. As for here right now, it is the middle of winter. It is snowy and cold. There are no signs of life as the trees are sleeping. I then saw our yard. It is pretty. While the grass is green as in my dream, it simply doesn’t compare to the perfection of Heaven.
When I crossed over, I then wondered if I was now in the New Earth, Heaven or the Training Ground. Even though I didn’t know, I did know that this was simply incredibly beautiful. I then heard the whistle again as I stood at a crossroad. I could hear rustling to my right, so I took the right path.
I then heard a horse behind me. I turned and there was Breakthrough riding his horse. He smiled at me as he dismounted and walked over to me. I began to cry. He reached over and hugged me. He began to whistle a song and it was beautiful and unlike anything I have ever heard.
Me: “Breakthrough, did I hear Zoey? I just know she is here somewhere!”
Breakthrough nodded yes as he hugged me. He reached for my hand and walked with me. His horse followed us. It was beautiful. The trees were blossoming and we were in orchards of fruit trees and soft green grass. I then heard Breakthrough whistle a dog whistle. I then saw a small strong young dog in a distant orchard.
It was Zoey! She stopped running in order to look at me. I ran over to her at full speed. However, in perfect Zoey fashion, she did not run to me. She instead took off in the opposite direction so I could chase her. She was so strong and happy. I saw her stop and smell a flower, but she would then take off again just as I would draw closer.
Me: “Zoey, wait! Don’t go! Please!”
Zoey continued to run. I soon could not see her anymore. I dropped down below a beautiful blossoming fruit tree and began to cry. I had so many things to say to the Lord. I had so many things to talk to Him about. I knelt down and closed my eyes…
Me: “Father, time goes so fast. I can’t catch time. I can’t go back. I can’t have a moment freeze. I can’t capture a day that is gone. I am getting older now. I struggle to keep anything. This world I live in is a painful struggle. Good news seems so far away. Even so, You remain and I am here and I see my little Zoey is here with You. Life is Yours to keep, Father. It is also Yours to take here back to You.
“It is just so difficult to remain in this place of pain. Father, I am broken. I am not well. I am not okay. I must be honest here… I need a miracle, but I don’t see one coming. I am scared. I miss the confidence I once had. I miss the fullness of my days. I miss the sounds of a home full of children and laughter. I miss the occasional rare bird landing in my bird feeder.
“I miss the excitement of life and the thoughts of experiencing all of this with my family and friends. But now, Father, I am broken and I need fixing. Things I once loved are gone or have faded. They have lost their luster. I search for only You now. Photos tell painful stories and hold onto beautiful memories that I didn’t treasure enough until they were gone. It is lonely even though I know I am never alone.
“Where did the time go, Father? It is like a year seems like yesterday and three years seems like only weeks ago. I can remember moments in my youth as if they had just happened. It is so vivid. A few days ago, I was not well. My family was worried. My daughter told me that she could not do life without me. Father, my dreams of a future here are fading.
“Lord, I am stuck. We are stuck here until a miracle comes from You. There is no hope without You. My husband can’t find work. He is now too old for places to want to hire him. My daughter is struggling with work right now, as is my younger son. My older son is struggling where he is also. Snigglet is sick with pancreatitis. We can’t lose her too.”
I continued to cry at the foot of this tree. Just then, I felt Zoey licking my tears on my face. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and there was Jesus!
Jesus: “Erin, I am here, I am with you and I have heard your cries. I know. I know.”
He sat beside me on my right side and held me. Zoey laid down on my left side and rested her head on my leg.
Jesus: “Erin, you have been holding back your pain and avoiding Me.”
Me: “I have, Lord. It has been a lot and I fear more is coming. I look at photos from only a few years ago and it is hard. I looked at a photo of the bench in our yard by the tree. It is gone now because I planted two small bushes that grew so large that my bench could no longer fit between them.
“However, it is not even about that. It is about looking out of my window and seeing one or two of our kids sitting on the bench. My daughter and my stepson were both avid readers there. So much time has now disappeared and I can’t get it back.”
Jesus: “Erin, time is My Fathers. Erin, I promise you that time here will never be a problem again as it has a different definition with Me. I make everything beautiful in its time. Your life consists of times and seasons. It is a journey of excitement and stagnation, promise and pain. However, through all of it, I remain with you. I have prepared a wonderful place here for you and you will never have to say goodbye to those you love again.”
Me: Zoey sighed as I pet her. “Lord, I miss Zoey being with me.”
Jesus: “Erin, Zoey and your other companions wait for you and your family.”
Me: “Lord, thank You for this.”
Jesus: “Remember that, on Earth, you say goodbye ‘for now only’ as life expires in body only. However, life is everlasting with Me here as My love always remains. Now, Erin, you barely ask about what is to come anymore. Your hopes have faded. Have you given up on Me, Erin?”
Just then, Zoey looked up at me. She was searching my eyes for an answer to His question. This was so heartwarming!
Me: “Lord, I could never give up on You. However, it is just so difficult to imagine good things in the midst of the darkness.”
Jesus: “Erin, every good thing comes from Me. My promises are true. I have not stopped. Now, come with Me for a walk.”
Me: “I feel so healthy here, Lord. Are we in Heaven here?”
Jesus: “This is a mystery for now. Now, I want you to understand something… I have been building a beautiful place here ever since The Fall… well, ever since the Garden closed. I have been creating a place of life so abundant with joy everlasting that there will be no pain. This is the place of My recompense. Things lost are found here. Things destroyed are made whole here. The beauty will be like nothing on Earth.
“It will truly be ‘on Earth as it is in Heaven!’ All that was taken from you here will be given back to you, but in such a way that you will be overjoyed. Relationships will be mended. Those who lost loved ones will be reunited. Great will be the reunion for parents who lost their children for they will see them again. They will be restored and will live to see them grow.”
Me: “So, Lord, my dreams… are these of Heaven? What about the City of Gold? What about the Valley of Blessings, the Tevahs and the River of Life? What about the pools and the fields of flowers?”
Jesus: “While this is difficult to understand fully, there is still Heaven. I have created a New Heaven and Earth and all whom called upon My Name and believed will overcome. All that you have seen, as well as Me walking amongst you, is true and soon to come… well, it is here now. The Temple is also here and your heart will be healed and full of song and worship. You will live and be full of life.”
Just then, I saw Zoey sprint into a field of flowers. She met other dogs there. I cried when I saw some of my other familiar pets.
Me: Crying. “Lord, is that Cooper and Jessie?”
Jesus: “Yes. They are excited to see you again. Now, I showed you this today so you would remember that I am with you now and always. My love is eternal and I have prepared a beautiful place for those who love Me. Now, remember what the Garden was like. It was paradise.”
Me: “Will we wear no clothing?”
Jesus: Smiling. “Yes, you will wear clothing here. You will wear garments of linen and cotton as there will be four seasons of change… a time of planting and of harvest… but also because you will be unique as you are now, but even more in radiance and beauty and in strength and wisdom. It is difficult to understand this now, but you will live in great abundance. You will not be sick.”
Me: Crying with joy. “Thank You, Lord.”
Jesus: “This is because the Ruler will now be Me and nothing will be continually trying to destroy and kill you.”
Me: “I have many questions, Lord. I thought the Earth had to be burned up first and then remade.”
Jesus: “Hmm, where is this written? This would be discouraging.”
Note: This is a timing question, not a change to 2 Peter 3:10. Jesus is referring to the New Earth being in existence BEFORE the Old Earth is burned up. This is meant to encourage us. I have included some discussion on the Nest at the end of this dream for further clarification.
Me: “It would be so awesome to be able to go from here to there.”
Jesus: “Zoey is here now and was here just moments after her passing. Erin, Zoey is alive here. I will bring you here again and we can discuss more details. However, here is another mystery… you will also be amongst other Saints who you have only read about.”
Me: “Like David?”
Jesus: “Well, yes. Remember that this is a place of My recompense. All is made right, fair and just. Erin, you will see.”
I woke up as He reached over to hug me. It was still quite early.
Sub-dream 1 over…
Thank You, Father. I needed Your reassurance of where we will be with You, although I still do not have all of the answers.
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “Erin, I am here and I am with you. Look at Scripture, My Word, with a new set of eyes. Read again in the light of eternal things. What you have seen is what I have built for you, whether it is Heaven, the New Earth or on Earth as it is in Heaven.
“I promise you good all of the days of your life. I love you. I know you are downcast and discouraged about your future in light of this fading world, but remember I have overcome the world.”
I was about to close my journal for the day when I remembered that a song has been playing over and over in my head recently. It is the 2008 hit by Switchfoot called ‘This is Home’. This particular song is painful and reminds me of Bend OR and another time. There is so much I wish I could do over back when my children were still young.
The following is the discussion from the Nest Forum on 2 Peter 3:10:
Question:
From the dream:
Me: “I have many questions, Lord. I thought the Earth had to be burned up first and then remade.”
Jesus: “Hmm, where is this written? This would be discouraging.”
From Scripture:
2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
I think I’m going to need a new interpretation of the above verse. Anyone want to offer insight?
Answer:
My understanding is that Jesus is attempting to explain to us that the New Earth will be accessible to us BEFORE The Day of the Lord.
And Heaven will be visible on THIS earth BEFORE The Day of the Lord because we will be Transformed…changed in a twinkling of an eye…and we will no longer be of this Earth. We will be Home…but with the capability to cross the Bridge and return to this Earth, to do miracles in His Name and in His Power, in order to bring in a massive harvest of soon to be found souls.
The Day of the Lord then comes AFTER His Harvest is completed. It is a GREAT and Terrible Day – Rapture of His people (Great for them) and also nuclear war/ great burning of fire (Terrible day for the wicked and all left on this earth).
The New Earth will not be accessible to ALL of His people until later.
Jesus alluded in an early dream that we would be like Caleb and Joshua and go into His Promised Land- and the rest of His people would have to wander in the wilderness for another 40 months. (Until His physical return)
Reply:
Thank you so much. That adds to what the Lord told me after I posted my comment. Now I get it. It would appear as per the Lord that the New Earth already exists and this Old Earth is going to be disposed of, NOT renewed. I finally get it!
