knowledge of and faith in Jesus. The dreams and visions—through the
authority of the Bible and the divinity of Christ—strengthen the faith of
both classes of Muslims as they learn more about Issa (Jesus) and prepare

Ellen White apeaks of the importance of understanding the Book of
Revelation, “When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better under-
stood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. They
will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and
mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop in order
to realize the blessedness, which is to be the reward of the pure in heart”
(1962:114).
The Dreams of Issa
The following excerpts of dreams given by Jesus come from seekers
who have written to the Dreams of Isa website (www.dreamsofisa.org).
One or more references from the Book of Revelation accompany many of
these excerpts.
“Assalam alaikom (Peace to you). In my dream last night, the Proph-
et Issa, alaihisalam (Peace be upon him), appeared to me wearing white
clothes and standing in the middle of seven lights. He was watching them
and making sure they were giving light. He looked at me and smiled.
Then I woke up. What does this dream mean?” (See Rev 1:12-16).

and filled everywhere with his light. He came in, and he had a smile on his
face. What is the meaning of my dream?” (See Rev 3:21).
“Assalamo alaikom (Peace to you). I had a dream, and I want to share
it with you. In my dream, I saw Prophet Issa, alaihisalam (Peace be upon
him), wearing a white robe and sitting on a white throne. And I saw an-
gels, men and some kind of animals worshiping him and praising him day
and night. T heard a voice asking, “Do you worship him?” Then I woke up
puzzled. Please, what does this dream mean?” (See Rev 4—a direct call to
worship—and the first angel's message of Rev 14:6-7).
“Assalam alaikum (Peace to you). In my dream, I saw the Prophet Issa
sitting on a white throne and wearing white. Then I saw many smaller
