Don’t be afraid to see the future.  I have heard so many people say they “don’t want to know” when it comes to future events.  They are afraid that they will see deaths or bad things happening and they just don’t want to know.

Although it can be true that when one is aware of future events, one might develop a sense of fatalism.  However, it is normally the case that the future is not completely cast in concrete, especially for the individual and even for groups. Knowing what is coming in the future allows one to prepare - and to navigate through difficult times and events.  If one has foretold, as many had, that “the Titanic is going to sink” - then one doesn’t get on that ship. The sinking of the Titanic was a large event that cast a long shadow on what I call the time tracks.  Numerous individuals dreamed of the event and did not get on the ship.

There are many cases of people who were “warned” in dreams of possible events - and took the necessary actions to avoid them.

In the case of groups - or nations - if their prophets are functioning - if their prophets speak out and are listened to - if course corrections are made - then disasters can be avoided.   Joseph’s interpretation of Pharoah’s dream was heeded and the country prepared for the seven years of plenty followed by the seven years of famine.  Because this prophecy was not ignored, many people’s lives were saved.

Even on the smaller scale - one can navigate the difficulties of their lives by heeding their prophetic warnings and dreams.  They can pay attention and save themselves much grief.  It really is no different than paying attention when the weather man says it is going to rain today.  Why be caught without your umbrella?
