Parable of a Dead Horse
I was taken to a place that looked chaotic and was made to pass a narrow lane.
When I did, there seems to be nothing on the lane — except it being just a lane.
Then I was asked to pass it a second time and this time when I did, I perceived a very terrible stench and behold before me, was a wide pit dug with a very large horse, dead in it.
The stench was so very horrible that I could hardly stand it and I heard a voice speaking to me saying: “On this horse was spent an average of over #200,000.00 only on it’s daily feeding alone, not any other expenses. This horse was ridden by a very notable traditional and political ruler.”
On hearing this, I felt anger, grief and pain that the nation’s resources were been wasted on a common horse.
So I went and stood close to the graveside to observe the horse, with anger in my heart..
I observed that instead of the horse laying down, it was buried kneeling, as though being prepared to be ridden by someone!
Dreams are parables and if we will understand them, we will do well!
The dream doesn’t speak of a literal horse, but a position that squanders our collective national resources.
The position will soon be exposed, a position that squanders and waste our national resources and when it is, the stench it will give will be too terrible!
People will stand by with anger, watching as it’s fate is being judged.
Even the rider will not be spared, for he used the horse to steal and dole up nations resources.
I pray that the horse nor it’s rider will ever rise again!

Let the dead bury their dead……
i agree it is a strong parable,
i am reminded of the saying …. ‘ riding a dead horse’
and the idea that a horse can be a ‘front-runner’
Keep Your children from the pit, in Christ, amen
Father, the righteous judge; expose the evil horse (the devices of the enemies which they use to oppress the masses & keep them in abject poverty which send them to their early graves) & the evil riders (those people who are carrying out this evil).
