The Handwriting is on the Wall

"Divided" "Weighed" "Numbered" "Numbered"  

"Weights and Measures"

This morning I had a dream.  Couldn't make out the majority of it but was able to see a young woman carrying around a small cloth black bag probably 10 - 12 inches high, back and forth from a small room.      

The room appeared elevated (I couldn't see any stairs) as she appeared to be walking up on some type of platform to gain entrance.   

The bag's contents looked like dark earth, rich and a deep chocolate color.

To give you an idea of the color, think of the color of the brownies on the outside of a b ox of Duncan Hines Dark Fudge Brownie Mix.       

She stood there for a few seconds looking directly at me and then left the small room (with the bag) and returned again.  

I think this happened maybe 5 times.  

I did not see her empty the bag out anywhere so I'm assuming that when she left the bag was full and when she returned it was still full.

As I was figuring this all out these words, "weights and measures" came to me.

I believe there was a message somewhere, embedded in this dream, so I decided to look further.

Because God is holy and righteous, He detests sin, which includes theft and dishonesty (Exodus 20:15; Proverbs 6:16–19). An example of both is cheating in business, here portrayed as the use of deceptive measurements. In the ancient world, this could involve using two different sets of weights, while pretending they were the same. A crooked vendor might agree to trade a certain weight of grain for a certain weight of gold, using these modified balances to secretly cheat a customer. The Hebrew phrase literally says something like "weights and weights, measures and measures," calling such things despicable in God's eyes.

Cheating in business has always been a temptation for mankind; it's one clear example of the charge made in verse 9 that no one is pure and clean from sin (Proverbs 20:9). This can involve literal weights, as when a dishonest butcher presses on the scale with his thumb to gain a bigger payment for his meat—but the Lord sees the thumb (Hebrews 4:13). It also applies to any form of deception, whether it relies on physical tricks or corrupt record-keeping. The Lord always sees the transaction. No one can cheat in business and escape God's notice and judgment. All dishonest transactions are an "abomination" to Him.

The same sentiment is repeated in verse 23, with additional emphasis on using deceptive scales (Proverbs 20:23).

NIV:  Differing weights and differing measures-- the LORD detests them both.

Measurer Dream Explanation — (Balance; Corn measurer; Measuring controller; Quantity surveyor; Scale) In a dream, one who metes out or dispenses measures and weights represents a ruler, a leader or a judge. If his measurement is exact, it means that he is a just person. Otherwise, it represents a tyrant. If one is given a scale for measuring, or if he becomes a measurer or a measuring controller, or a surveyor in a dream, and if he qualifies, it means that he will be appointed as a judge, or as a leader. If he does not qualify, it means that he will grow in wisdom, righteousness, justice and balance which he can use to help himself and others. (Also see Measure; Scale) Dream Interpreter: Ibn Sirin
