The Sinking Church, The Ark, A Prophetic Word
I had the 2 dreams below almost a year ago. They both have to do with the fate of the church as we have come to know it. I am re-posting both because I recently came across a 50 year old prophecy from A. W. Tozer which I feel fits in line with these 2 dreams that I had. See what the Lord would speak to you on the matter.
I had a dream 07/02/2013 just before waking up. In the dream I saw a church building on what I will call an ocean. The church building was, as you might have guessed, sinking because it was not built for the water but for dry land. What I saw next is row boats coming from the sinking church and although the water was choppy, they were able to stay afloat because they were constructed to do so. And, unlike the church, they hold fewer people, hence the reason for many of them. The turbulent waters could indicate persecution and perilous times. However, unlike the church building which is stationary, the rowboats are moveable and more in line with Jesus’ command of “go and tell”. Note that in my dream the boats were coming from the church and not to it.
This is the second dream that I had on 07/04/2013 before waking this morning. In this dream I saw an Ark much like the one described in Genesis that Noah built. The ark was on dry land and it was next to a mountain. The difference in my dream and what was described in Genesis was that there were people coming into the Ark. In Noah’s time he warned people of God’s pending judgement upon the earth when the ark was on dry land and I am sure he looked like a crazy fool which is how prophets are sometimes thought of. In my dream, once again, there is an ark and it is on dry land and people are being warned by God’s prophets to come into the ark before the waters of tribulation come. If you remember the Lord’s words to His disciples where He said, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. “For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, they were marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. (Mat 24:37-39)
PROPHETIC WORD FROM 50 YEARS AGO – A. W. TOZER
“Let me go out on a limb a little bit and prophesy. I see the time coming when all the holy men whose eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by one. The house will be left desolate and there will not be a man of God, a man in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, left among them.
I hear Jesus saying…Mat 23:37-38: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to her, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate”
As the Church now stands, the man who sees this condition of worldly evangelicalism is written off as somewhat fanatical. But the day is coming when the house will be left desolate and there will not be a man of God among them. I would like to live long enough to watch this develop and see how things turn out. I would like to live to see the time when the men and woman of God-holy, separated and spiritually enlightened-walk out of the evangelical church and form a group of their own; when they get off the sinking ship and let her go down in the brackish and worldliness and form a new ark to ride out the storm”
My Dreams and Visions 
against the backdrop of your dream and the Tozar prophecy is Revelation 10.
Two significant things in the Revelation chapter. Reconciling time and the apearrence on earth of a “little scroll.”( read sealed book per Daniel 12:4) we all have been reading a sealed book which the kings and rulers have used to amass the rulers of the nations so far.
The entire notion of evangelicism( not holy spirit led but by kings etc( King James etc etc has been used by Jesus to scatter the tribes throughout the nations and than tear them( nations and Hebrewism, Islam and Christianity) all down in order to raise the tribes back up so that they can be restored( SEE Ezekiel) to be ready for his appearrence which are his sternal inheritance NOT the church. In the book of Isaiah is mention of him tearing them down however it escapes me but will post soon. All of this falls in the space of the 7 seals in the book of Revelation which Jesus is opening for those with eyes and ears.
Thanks. These blessed me.
Thanks Larry

Thank you Tony for sharing these significant dreams and the relevance to A W Tozer’s prophetic word. The dreams seem akin to my recent report on http://richards-watch.org/2014/03/21/babylonian-aspect-of-the-churchs-new-era/, which concludes that the new ‘Season of Suddenlies’ will result in a radical difference between the two kinds of believers and churches – those in worldly ‘Babylon’ and the ‘New Era’ Spirit-led remnant. I believe this separation and shifting may already have started.
According to church statistician George Barna there are approximately 57,000 people a week leaving the church each week.
PS: I don’t always agree with Jacob Prasch but his description of what will happen to the CoE for not fighting the SSM Bill lines up with Tony’s dreams. He concludes with Tozer too!
I’d be interested if you can quote an actual source for Tozer’s words please Tony.
OOps – here’s the link to Prasch quoting Tozer: http://moriel.org/MorielArchive/index.php/discernment/church-issues/church-of-england-gives-up-fight-over-marriage-2
We are truly in the end days Richard. What a tragedy.
Richard Barker… I found the reference for you online at Google Books. It is a book called The Dangers of a Shallow Faith by James Snyder published by Gospel Light 2012. On Page 14 under the heading: The Curse of Worldliness you will see the citation. The following is a link…

Many thanks Richard. When I first looked it gave me the browser stuck on p14 and I didn’t have time to go into it in view of other events here. Now I can see the lot and get hardcopy to read and consider quoting in my blog’s Library.
Your efforts and time are greatly appreciated.
I purchase Tozer’s book as well. Looks like a very powerful read.
The first dream I think means the church that is falling apart because of false teachings, agreement with worldliness, with gay marriage and all the changes that are being introduced plus one world religion, one world church, joining catholic church with protestant church and making them all one under the cover of the pope. It’s all going on and will be not stopped. The true biblical Christians with the Holy Spirit will be not able to accept it and will have to leave this apostasy and falsehood, so they are swimming away from the false church in your dream. There are lots of churches like this nowadays and it’s only going to get worse. Of course the persecution of so called radicals is coming and coming soon. Jesus says very clearly that the gate is narrow and very few find it.
If you listen to the prophecy by David Wilkerson, you will find many warnings about that.
The second dream means clearly to me that the Ark is the Lord and our only safety is in Him, He is our shelter and protection so whoever comes to the Lord, into His presence is like in the Noah’s ark. The Holy Spirit reminds me that every time when I read psalm 91
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
But it is not just about reading the psalm, it is about being in the presence of God, when you pray, when you read His word, when you worship Him, this is when you find your Ark and your strength. This is where He teaches you, renews your strength. He will protect those who know Him and come to meet Him daily, those who put Him first before all other things, those to whom He is the Lord of lords. This is how I understand your dreams Tony and praise be to God for showing this to His people. Thank you Tony also for writing all the dreams for us.
The Ark too is His Word Juliet. If you stay in His Word and stay in His presence you won’t be deceived.
Yes, this is exactly what I mean Tony, Jesus is the same as His word, He is the Word. Praise God for preserving His Word for us. So many people died, were burned at the stake or were tortured to keep the bible hidden from us. Our God is amazing.
The devil hates the bible. He will do everything to stop people from reading it.
And he will use people you trust
