Definition: The word "dreamt" in the Hebrew Bible (KJV) is a figurative term used to express the idea that God's thoughts are not just spoken but also thought within his will. In the context of the Old Testament, this is described as the vision or dream of something divine: "And I saw in my dream a woman sitting on a cherub, with a face like a son of man and a mouth full of four ribets" (Ezekiel 18:4). Here, God's thoughts are not just words spoken but also thoughts within his will that have been created. This idea is often used to suggest that divine thoughts are in fact real or actual. In other verses, the "dreamt" word can be translated as a figurative expression of divine intention being expressed through human acts and emotions: - In Ezekiel 36:25, God's plan to establish His kingdom over Egypt (which He did) is described as "a dream of the Lord" that was "not to be forgotten in my years" (KJV). This metaphor suggests that God has a vision or plan for creation that will last throughout his entire lifespan. This understanding of divine thoughts as being thought within his will is central to Christian theology and explains how God's creative power is realized through human acts. In the New Testament, when Paul addresses the Jewish believers in Rome about the future church (Galatians 1:26-35), he uses "dreamt" to describe a vision of Christ coming again: "Then said Paul, I have seen the dream of God, which is in my mind. And I heard it with my ears and saw it before my eyes." (Galatians 4:20) This expression highlights that even in the deepest dreams or visions of the Christian imagination, God's plans are realized through the actions of humans. In summary, the word "dreamt" in the KJV is a metaphorical expression of divine intention being thought within human thoughts and emotions. This understanding underscores how divine ideas and plans are realized through human creativity and action.
