Placing weight in deja vu is the very definition of superstition

I had premonitions of something like 9/11.. it came right as I was waking from a dream. Of me standing in a city of skyscrapers and then seeing an airliner fly overhead and me and other people looking up. I didn't realize it at that time though.

This is not common for me though. Nor will I shoot you down if you say it's a fluke. I don't care. I'm not a visionary or even remember most of my normal dreams… let alone ones like the above.

>Of me standing in a city of skyscrapers and then seeing an airliner fly overhead and me and other people looking up. I didn't realize it at that time though.

>Just flying overhead

>Doesn't even crash

Lame premonition, tbh.

I don't even want to call it that. I've had more interesting experiences, and like I said, "dreaming" or prophecy isn't one of my gifts. I'm sorry it wasn't exciting enough.

I've got a theory though that some events ripple through time so much that they create aftershocks or something.. both forwards and backwards in time. Maybe it comes in the form of dreams, maybe it's just a forboding. Maybe some of us are alert to it (or all of us, at different times)..but there's nothing special about the experience or any overall message. And that the real prophets are the ones who experience things more vividly and can warn people.

That's not how it works.

How did you find this board?

>>733301

Dear Lord.. what does it matter? No, I've never been to reddit or "cuckchan". Does this happen to every board, where you step out of Wrongthink and get told you don't "belong"?

There's no description in scripture how prophecy works. I know where you're getting at: That it's all direct inspiration. I'm not trying to dispute that. But do we really know the mechanics of "gifts" or how God makes people attune to his movements and voice and symbols? Afaik, we do not.

Who knows.. it could be. I'm a Gen X kid who grew up with a lot of that media.

>I've neglected my duty to attend church, I've sinned all the time, I've been a terrible Christian… and convinced myself otherwise, at least in feeling, all this time.

I've seen this episode before.

See, your conscience is telling you that you're guilty of sinning against God. You're aware of it, but it's so painful that you try to put it out of your mind.

And it works… until it doesn't. Until something reminds you of the reality of your situation. This time it was a weird little brain fart. What'll it be next time? A song on the radio? An unusually-shaped cloud? A man on the sidewalk who gave you the stink-eye like he could just see your sins written on your face? Superstitions like these are the conjurations of your heavy heart. When you know you've sinned against the Creator, the whole of creation reads like an indictment against you. It's not a bug. It's a feature.

>I want to repent, I want to be recieved back, I want to be a man of God. But I fear now, seriously, I can't fulfill the role of prodigal son anymore, because I have become a repeat offendor… and so that it is too late.

It is never too late to repent. You've acknowledged your sins and you're sorry for them; you understand that they merit death. Now turn from them and run.

>Has anyone ever felt the same and dare I say lived, really lived, too?

I've lived this episode before.

Wow… the most iconic buildings in the most iconic city in the world were widely used in pop culture? Who woulda thunk?

Why does it provoke you to be so sarcastic? He can't even ask me a question or what? What is it about some of you that makes you act like childish cunts as your first approach? Were you raised by your moms? You don't even wait for awhile.. People at this site always instantly go to this as a default. I honestly don't get it. And to keep on topic, I don't have the premonitory insight to figure it on my own.

Okay so where do I start?

>But its a pop culture icon!

Doesn't make the chances of it affecting >>733285 smaller. In fact, my argument still works just fine.

Also

>Plane crashing into the Effiel Towers multiple times

>Also Plane crashing into the Pentagon too which isn't even as common as a the Twin Towers

>J-just pop culture things, guys!

It could just be a sign from God saying that you need to repent. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die, but rn repenting and truly living for Him afterwards is a good idea.

Ignore the rn
