There have been reports of over 200 Muslim men in Gaza who converted to Christianity after they had dreams that Jesus was revealed to them.
This was reported by a professor at Houston Christian University, United States, who teaches New Testament studies, Professor Michael Licona. He is the author of “The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus” and “Paul Meets Muhammad”, among others.
There are certain underground Christian ministries in the Middle East that records miraculous conversions and Licona said he received a report from them, in a recent post on Facebook.
He wrote, “God is working in the midst of war! Over the past two days, we have ministered to hundreds of fathers who have lost most, if not all of their children in the war. As we moved these men to safety, we fed them, washed their clothes, and began to read the Bible to them — sharing the way of peace through Jesus.”
The report added, “Then, a big miracle happened. Last night, Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams. They have come back to us to learn more from God’s word and are asking how to follow Jesus.”
Speaking on the Israel-Hamas conflict, Licona pitted his tent with Israel saying, “I side with Israel in this war; not necessarily for theological reasons but because Hamas and those backing it are pure evil.
“Yet, I know that not all Palestinians support Hamas. In fact, they will be punished severely if even suspected of not supporting Hamas. Let’s pray that this war can be over soon and that Israel can eradicate Hamas so that Palestinians can be free of Hamas!”
In the past, there have been reports of Muslims converting to Christianity after having dreams of Jesus Christ. In September this year, there was a report by Assemblies of God News that the rate at which Muslims globally were converting to Christianity was unprecedented.
A missionary with the Assemblies of God church, Dick Brogden, spoke on this development and the essence of dreams for evangelism.
He said, “I would even say it’s a normal experience. It would be accurate to say that Muslims are responding to Jesus in levels we have never seen, not in 1,400 years.
“Dreams are contributing to revelation, the process of evangelism and conversion. So many Muslims reject Islam, but know that to follow Jesus will cost them everything. Dreams of Jesus encourage them along the way and give them the comfort that Jesus will be with them — though it will cost them everything to follow Him."
