1. Dreams and Visions
from the Bible – Part 4

2. •Laban Pursues
Jacob

3. • Genesis 31:22-24 (NKJV)
• 22 And Laban was told on the third day
that Jacob had fled. 23 Then he took his
brethren with him and pursued him for
seven days‟ journey, and he overtook
him in the mountains of Gilead. 24 But
God had come to Laban the Syrian in a
dream by night, and said to him, “Be
careful that you speak to Jacob neither
good nor bad.”

4. Laban overtakes Jacob.

5. A warning dream to a sinner
• In Laban‟s dream, the Lord is warning
him of the way he should speak to
Jacob.
• In this way, Laban understands that
the God of Jacob is taking care of
him.

6. Laban comes to Gilead
• Genesis 31:28-29 (NKJV)
• 28 And you did not allow me to kiss
my sons and my daughters. Now you
have done foolishly in so doing. 29 It is
in my power to do you harm, but the
God of your father spoke to me last
night, saying, „Be careful that you
speak to Jacob neither good nor
bad.‟

7. Laban follows his dream
• Laban even that he doesn‟t know the
God of the Hebrews, realizes that is
better for him to follow his dream.
• He overtakes Jacob but he doesn‟t
cause any harm to Jacob and he
plainly explains the reason.

8. Covenant Laban - Jacob

9. • NEXT DREAM:
•THE WISE MEN

10. The Wise Men

11. Dream of the Wise Men
• Matthew 2:12 (NKJV)
• 12 Then, being divinely warned in a
dream that they should not return to
Herod, they departed for their own
country another way.

• They departed for their own country
another way.

15. • Next Dream:
•Pilate‟s wife dream.

16. Pilate‟s wife experience

17. Matthew 27:19 (NKJV)
• 19 While he was sitting on the
judgment seat, his wife sent to him,
saying, “Have nothing to do with that
just Man, for I have suffered many
things today in a dream because of
Him.”

18. • Pilate did not pay attention to his wife
advice and went ahead with his way.
• Even that he knew Jesus was
innocent, he still hand him to be
crucified.
• The bible doesn‟t say more about
Pilate, but probably he was not a
happy man after his decision.
