How to Interpret Dreams and Visions Perry Stone

Dad also noted that throughout his ministry, when the Lord gave him a spiritual dream or a vision, whenever the man in the dream would address him as “My son” or as “son” or “My servant,” that the person in the dream/vision was a messenger from the Lord or an angel of the Lord. This significant nugget from my wise father, Fred Stone, has been a great help to me over the years when I dream and see a man that may appear as just another person, but the dream or vision has biblical symbolism and imagery and the person is bringing a message from the Lord. The Book of Ezekiel is a major prophetic book with warnings and apocalyptic overtones throughout the book. Ezekiel witnessed the heavens open and saw four living creatures carrying the throne of God throughout the earth (Ezek. 1). He experienced the vision of the dry bones (Ezek. 37), the war of Gog and Magog (Ezek. 38–39), and the future millennial temple in Jerusalem (Ezek. 40–48). The Lord appeared to Ezekiel and called him “son of man” ninety-three times in the Book of Ezekiel! Under the redemptive covenant, believers are called “sons of God” (John 1:12, KJV ; 1 John 3:2, KJV ). I truly believe that one of the reasons that the Lord allows an angel to appear in the form of a normal-looking man in a dream is because the mental, physical, and spiritual responses we would encounter if the Lord showed us the full glory of the cherubim, seraphim, or the living creatures would be too overwhelming for us to handle. When men saw angels in their fullness in the Bible, they fell to the ground! In Daniel 10, when Daniel saw the angel, he was on his face toward the ground.
