There is much evidence of the Lord speaking to individuals via dreams in the Bible. Could He not be speaking to those who commit these crimes against humanity?

The "Equal Creation" principles in the Declaration of Independence were the cry of the anti-slavery crusade for 30 years. Today most evangelical leaders and many presidential candidates reference the same document and the Creator's "endowment of unalienable rights" in the fight against big government and abortion rights. What they fail to mention is that this document is also an instrument of judgment. They overlook its "execution" provisions. In its first paragraph, the very existence of the nation is pinned to the "laws of nature and nature's God." For Jefferson's contemporaries, this phrase meant the Romans 2:15 law written on every man's heart, whether Christian or not, as tested by the Christian Bible. Abortion as "Shedding Innocent Blood" & Lessons Toward Repentance ...

These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

I concur. Sometimes dreams are just the mind carrying on, sometimes it is God giving us a message of some kind, sometimes they get mixed. I had a dream once that I had just murdered someone, and the incredible weight of shame, horror, guilt - was like a thousand ton stone on my heart, leaving me breathless and lifeless. I woke up - and realized that the dream was not a fantasy, that I was a murderer, because of the abortion 20 years before. (I had been 18 at the time).

The dream was a ray of reality, not a fiction of the mind. The horror of the dream caused me to go yet further into repentence.

I thought I had already begged forgiveness from God, and had completely changed my life years before, but there are always deeper levels of repentence needed.
