Brother Ty was in the middle of a dream when, like a light switch, it went dark. He opened his eyes at a defendant’s desk in a courtroom whose walls looked like outer space, and Satan was demanding his death. In this episode of God’s Truth Podcast, Ty shares his vision of standing trial before God, and two unsettling dreams about Wormwood, the bitter star of Revelation 8. Abigail then offers her interpretation of the dreams.
A dream interrupted
Abigail met Ty through an intercessors’ group, where he once shared the story she knew the world needed to hear. It began with an ordinary dream. Ty was walking through a parking lot when an elderly man ahead of him clutched his heart and collapsed, groceries spilling everywhere. Ty ran to help him. A bystander called for an ambulance.
Then, without warning, everything cut out. “It didn’t fade to black,” he says. “Light switch. I was taken out.”
The courtroom of heaven
Ty found himself in a vast room. The walls looked like the view through a telescope, full of stars, galaxies and nebulae. The floor was covered in red carpet. Balconies rose on every side, filled with thousands upon thousands of beings, some with two wings, some with four or six, some humanlike.
He knew instantly he was in heaven. It was peaceful, and utterly silent. And he was sitting at a defendant’s desk.
In front of him, a judge’s bench rose so high he couldn’t see the top, only the outline of shoulders in what looked like shimmering black robes. Across the room sat two demonic figures at the other table.
The accuser
Then a dark, shadowy figure began pacing in front of the bench, ranting, cursing and pointing at Ty. As he spoke, Ty’s body locked in place. The figure accused him of breaking the rules and deserving death, demanding the right to kill him. When a little light fell on him, Ty saw who it was: Satan himself. “You felt anger, hatred, death, fear, despair,” he says.
On a giant screen, Ty’s entire life played out from birth to that moment: every deed, every word spoken and unspoken, every thought, every emotion. “The good, the bad, the ugly,” he says. “Everything.” The accuser jabbed at the screen, frothing with hatred. Among his charges was killing someone, though Ty says he has never killed anyone.
Jesus, his advocate
When Satan came within a few feet of the desk, he suddenly backed away. In the empty seat beside Ty sat Jesus, in a glowing white robe trimmed with gold, cut like a business suit. “The word says that He is our advocate,” Ty says. “That was Jesus.”
Then a voice thundered from the bench, like many waters, and the whole room fell silent. Jesus and the accuser went back and forth before the Father, in words Ty couldn’t hear. Ty was allowed to speak once: “I’m innocent. I didn’t do anything.” Then he was silenced again.
“Innocent”
After a time Ty couldn’t measure, one word came from the bench: “Innocent.”
The screen vanished. Rows of witnesses he hadn’t been able to see appeared, and the courtroom erupted in cheers and angelic singing. Jesus walked over, calm and unhurried, and shook his hand. Satan, radiating rage, disappeared.
Then Ty was back in his body, remembering the feel of the chair and the table, too stunned to process it. When it sank in, he wept. He believes he had done, or was about to do, something that deserved death, and that the blood of Jesus covered it. “If I was found guilty,” he says, “I would not be here.”
The Wormwood dreams
Ty was reluctant to share his end-times dreams, but Abigail pressed him, because, she says, the body of Christ needs to be prepared.
In the first dream, Ty and a small group went deep into an underground cavern to find clean water for others, stepping carefully across stones to reach a well shaped like the castle piece in a chess set. A few people impatiently drank straight from the well instead of filling their vessels. They changed at once: clothes torn, bodies covered in boils, eyes turned purple, frothing at the mouth. Then they chased the others, turning those they caught into the same.
In the second dream, Ty was walking to the creek outside his home with a filter straw, because tap water had become poison. News anchors reported that the world’s waters had turned bitter and were killing people, and experts argued over whether an asteroid strike months earlier was to blame. Ty knew. “It’s Wormwood,” he thought. “Stop it.”
Abigail’s interpretation
After the interview, Abigail shares how she understands the dreams, and invites viewers to share their own interpretations.
In dreams, she says, water often speaks of the Holy Spirit and His truth. The chess castle is a stronghold. Those who drank impatiently, like the men Gideon sent home in Judges 7, are those who take in polluted teaching and become like zombies, spreading it to others. Tap water, she suggests, is what’s common and easily available, so the dream warns that the most accessible doctrine may be contaminated. Only filtered, pure truth is safe.
She connects the boils to the ones Satan struck Job with, and notes that Revelation uses stars as a picture of angels. For her, the dreams are a warning about false doctrine in the last days. “If you drink in the false doctrine that is not the Holy Spirit,” she says, “you’re going to die. We need the pure, unadulterated truth.”
