Dreams and Visions of the Bible

This 2000 series explores the fascinating subject of dreams and visions in Scripture—how God has used them to reveal His purpose, warn of coming events, and open windows into His reality. Listeners are guided from the earliest biblical accounts through to the visions of the New Testament, discovering how these extraordinary revelations teach, inspire, and prepare disciples to live with eyes fixed on God’s kingdom. Across six sessions, the series uncovers the symbolic language of heaven and shows how these messages speak with power to us today.

Class 1 – In a Dream, in a Vision of the Night

The opening session examines the difference between dreams and visions, and how God communicates through both. Using Job’s words as a starting point, Brother Stan Isbell explains how God speaks in symbols that reach beyond human perception, contrasting the illusions of worldly “reality” with the true reality of God revealed in His Word.

Class 2 – Patriarchs, Prisoners, and Pharaohs

From Joseph’s prison cell to Pharaoh’s palace, this class explores how God used dreams to shape nations and save lives. The lesson emphasizes how divine communication always has a purpose, linking the symbols of dreams to God’s unfolding plan, and showing how Israel’s history points forward to the kingdom.

Class 3 – Old Testament Vision, Part 1

Attention turns to the prophets, beginning with the tabernacle vision given to Moses and moving through the hope of Israel contrasted with the “Gentile nightmare.” By tracing these symbols, the class shows how God gave His people glimpses of His dwelling among them and His plan to establish a righteous nation.

Class 4 – Old Testament Vision, Part 2

This session continues with the prophets, including Isaiah and Ezekiel, and their breathtaking visions of God’s glory. Drawing connections between the tabernacle, the cherubim, and the symbols of creation, Brother Stan demonstrates how these visions reflect the majesty of God and prepare His people for their future role in the kingdom.

Class 5 – New Testament Vision, Part 1

The New Testament opens with angels breaking into the lives of Mary, Joseph, and the wise men through dreams and visions. This lesson also reflects on the mount of transfiguration, where the disciples saw Jesus in glory, offering a preview of the kingdom. The class highlights how these visions pierced the illusions of men and revealed the true power of God.

Class 6 – New Testament Vision, Part 2

The series concludes with the book of Revelation, described as a love letter from Jesus to his servants. Rich in symbols and imagery, this final vision unveils the glory of the risen Lord and the promise of his return. The lesson closes by encouraging believers to read, hear, and hold fast to this vision of hope, knowing it will soon be fulfilled.
