Dreams and Visions and Modern Day Prophecy

There are many references to dreams and visions in the bible and how they were interpreted during biblical times. These days, most Christians believe that, according to The New Testament, those who could interpret dreams and visions stopped after Christ died. People also believe that the ability for anyone to make prophecy ended at the same time. In other words, they believe that God stopped communicating to us. We, of The Angel Scrolls, do not believe this notion is based in truth, for we know that God speaks to us through dreams and visions whenever we need His help. We also believe that God is a God of the present and not just the past. Knowing his purpose is to maintain communication with us in miraculous ways can give us direction in life through an ever changing and current world.

These are just a few examples of how God spoke to people, prophets and visionaries of the past. This website is an example of how he is still speaking to us in the present.
