Muslim Visions of Jesus

Muslim Visions of Jesus: Light Dawns on Those Dwelling in Darkness:

Have you ever had a dream of a shining divine figure?

Well, it turns out that multitudes of Israel’s Muslim neighbors in over a dozen Muslim nations have been having dreams and visions like this. From Jordan all the way east to Iran and beyond, and westward as well. Some estimate the number of such dreams in the millions over the last few decades!

Pastor Tom Doyle and his wife Joann spent years serving in several of these nations. They compiled amazing documentary stories of a representative “sample” of 20 Muslims whose lives have been disrupted by repeated visitations of this nature. Often these Muslims have recurring dreams like this, night after night or week after week, for months.   The dreams set the “dreamer” on a journey, a path toward discovering peace and faith in the Messiah from Nazareth.

In many Muslim families and communities, it is inconceivably shameful and blasphemous that anyone who grew up Muslim should become a believer in Yeshua as Messiah. Their response to this “heresy,” if it becomes known, can include ostracism, threats and even death. Therefore, the fact that these new believers are so soon willing to risk death for their new faith, indicates that these are not regular dreams.

Doyle says:
“Muslims have felt shame and dishonor since the time of Muhammad, but they don’t feel shame when Jesus appears to them. It’s quite the opposite. They feel honored that Jesus would come to them. After a visit from Jesus, Muslims, often say things like this:

‘I felt loved on a level like I have never experienced.’
‘I felt safe and protected.’
‘I have never felt such a surge of joy and peace.’” (pg. 132)

What is left but to respond with amazement, as did Simon Peter at the house of the “un-kosher pagan” Roman centurion:  “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.” (Acts 10:34-35 NIV)

Already these dream-fueled faith movements have touched millions of Muslims. As of yet, they have not yet reached the tipping point of transforming an entire nation’s power structures. But perhaps they will soon.
