American Pastor Saeed Abedini, who was held hostage for three-and-a-half years inside an Iranian prison for his Christian faith, revealed that he had a prophetic dream about the suffering he would face right before he was taken by Iranian authorities.
Abedini recalled in a Facebook post on Sunday the events of July 28, 2012, when he was traveling on a bus from Georgia to Turkey and Iran. He said that he fell asleep on the bus, and experienced a detailed dream:
"In my dream I was on a bus, and the bus was full of political and religious leaders. The bus went into the yard of Evin prison, and we had to surrender to all the guards and soldiers that had been working for the prince of Persia. There was no way out," he wrote.
"It was almost 12 p.m., and I when I woke up I told my dream to the person next to me and wrote it out as a text message. Suddenly a guard of Sepah, the militia group of Iran, stopped the bus, and a soldier came onto the bus and called my name. 'Who is Saeed Abedini?' I raised up my hand, and he told me to follow him," he added.
Abedini, who spent a significant portion of his prison sentence in the notorious Evin Prison, says that the guard led him to his office, and took his passport.
"Right then I knew my life would change in a very hard way," the pastor continued.
"Prison, torture and the loss of so many things happened in a few minutes. I felt the heaviness of the world on my shoulders and chest and heart, like the Earth placed a huge rock on me, and I must bear it," he said.
Abedini has shared the details of his prison suffering on a number of occasions since his release back in January. The pastor was beaten, denied medical attention, and pressured by Iranian officials to deny his Christian faith, but refused to do so.
At one point he was told "for you it's the end,
you will never get out of this prison."....................http://www.christianpost.com/news/pastor-saeed-abedini-reveals-prophetic-dream-prison-torture-holy-spirit-prepared-him-for-suffering-167309/
