   On this day in A.D. 1307 (716 years ago) French king Philip IV the Fair   
   ordered the mass arrest of Knights Templar in the Kingdom of France.    
   Apparently (as some narratives relate the story) the King was in league with   
   the Pope to take all the treasures    
   of the Knights and also to dissolve their power structure, as the knights   
   provided safe travel between Europe and "the Holy Land" (Israel) and also kept   
   their funds in something like a bank account, which allowed pilgrims to travel   
   without getting robbed    
   along the way, *and* with the knights as an armed paramiltary (security)   
   service, the knights "made out like bandits" until the King and the Pope   
   became bandits themselves.   
      
   According to > history.info/on-this-day/1307-knights-templar-arr   
   sted-on-friday-13th < "some consider that the superstition about Friday 13th   
   being an unlucky day stems from this very event. Even the Grand Master of the   
   order, the famed Jacqes de Molay,    
   was arrested in Paris, together with 60 of his knights.   
      
   "The French king’s motive to have the Templars arrested was simply that he   
   owed them a large sum of money. Namely, the king was at war with England and   
   had been borrowing money from the Templars (with the waning of the Crusades,   
   the Templars had become    
   something akin to a banking system).   
      
   "In time, the king’s debt grew to unmanageable levels, and so the king   
   decided to get rid of them in an underhanded way. He used various unfounded   
   rumors about their activities in order to have them tried for heresy and all   
   sorts of blasphemous deeds.   
      
   "The arrested Templars were subjected to torture, and many eventually   
   “confessed” to spitting on the cross, renouncing Christ, idolatry, sodomy,   
   and obscene rituals. These confessions shocked the French populace. The king   
   then talked the pope into    
   ordering all Templars in the world to be arrested.   
      
   "It is important to note that the aforementioned pope, Clement V, was French,   
   and did not have his seat in Rome, but in southern France. This allowed the   
   French king to put pressure on him more easily."   
      
   ===========================================   
      
   Now, one would think this to have some kind of relevance to a dream, although   
   other than that vision of the golden, crimson red dawn with the parted west   
   side of the red sea as the backdrop, it somewhat fits in historically with the   
   so-called "day of    
   rage" that has been called for by the terrorists in their unbridled hatred of   
   Israel, and against God.  The Israeli airforce dropped leaflets all over the   
   "northern" area of the Gaza Strip, advising the citizens to "leave" because   
   the Right Hand of God    
   is about to be unleashed in wiping out Hamas from that area (and presumably   
   rescuing hostages along the way.)   
      
   As Jesus Himself prophesied in John 16:2— ...a time is coming when anyone   
   who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.  [aka "jihad"]  Now   
   is a *good* time to get *out* of DNC controlled cities in DNC controlled   
   states in America (and    
   similar locations around the world.)  The "current age" is having "birth   
   pangs" of the "coming age."   
      
   And that, as much as anything else, "sets up" the dream I had, which   
   otherwise, has practically zero other context:   
      
   The dreamer was listening to this young (male) child, perhaps age 5, singing   
   in a clear, pitch-perfect voice, something *perhaps in the genre* of (U.S.   
   Southern) Country Music.  The dreamer was less focused on the lyrics and more   
   on the "inspiring"    
   singing of the boy.  It was as if a child were singing lyrics to a song more   
   along the lines of something a teen would be singing, but young children do   
   that all the time, without fully realizing the context of the lyrics they're   
   singing.   
      
   There was a guy with a microphone, holding it close to the child's mouth, so   
   as to record the singing, although there was some bit of bobbling about such   
   that there was perhaps too much focus on the mic and the recording when the   
   "focus of attention"    
   should have been on the child himself.  The dreamer was feeling a kind of   
   "divine awe" of the child's singing, which was pitched in the normal singing   
   range of a child, rather than in the upper register of the young, male voice   
   (which is often higher    
   than most women can sing, with perhaps the exception of Mariah Carey, et al.)   
      
   At any rate, the dreamer ended up picking up and carrying the child, in the   
   way a father will hug a child and hold the child with the father's left arm   
   used to brace / support the child's torso.   
      
   There is another segment, which perhaps came at an earlier time, wherein the   
   dreamer was as if at a camp or vacation location of some sort, wherein the   
   dreamer had a week's worth of clothing and other items in the dreamer's room.   
      
   There was a quick view of a load of stuff piled up at one point, as if in a   
   room off a hallway, and there was the sense that it was stuff that had been   
   "brought back" from the previous week's guests.   
      
   So at any rate, the dreamer returns to the dreamer's room, carrying the child,   
   and the dreamer's room's contents are all *gone,* as if wiped out by the hotel   
   staff or something.   
      
   The dreamer ends up arguing with someone (perhaps like a hotel clerk or   
   manager or such) that the checkout time was at like around 9 AM, yet all the   
   stuff appears to have been cleaned out by 6 AM (while the dreamer was away)   
   and the argument was like, "   
   If y'all were planning on cleaning out the rooms at 6 AM, you should've TOLD   
   {us / the guests} that cleanout time was 6 AM, and I'd have recovered all my   
   stuff.  Now it's just *gone*.  How do I get it back?"   
      
   The response was something along the lines of the recovered content would be   
   returned for claiming around Wednesday, in the middle of the coming week.   
      
   The dreamer was really peeved at the whole situation, yet was still holding   
   the child as previously mentioned, so the dream ended in frustration /   
   resignation of some kind, with the question / resolve being *something* like:   
   "Well, on to the next item of    
   business."  Clarity 9, yet perhaps 8 at some points.   
      
   In another dream, there was a female (of around 30s? 40s?) who was of brown   
   hair, perhaps just beyond shoulder length, who seemed to be attracting the   
   dreamer's attention.
