A Divine Light in the Darkness: The Miraculous Encounters in Gaza
Gaza, a land scarred by conflict, where destruction and despair loom over daily life, has recently become the backdrop of an extraordinary and miraculous event.
Amidst the suffering, stories have begun to emerge—stories of faith, transformation, and a mysterious divine presence revealing itself to those in need of hope. It began with whispers, then spread like wildfire: Jesus Christ was appearing in dreams to hundreds of people.
For many years, Gaza has been caught in relentless turmoil. Its people have known the weight of war, the sorrow of loss, and the fear of an uncertain future.
In this darkness, however, something astonishing was unfolding. Over two hundred Muslims reported seeing Jesus in their dreams, a phenomenon that would change their lives forever.
One of the first to speak out about this was Tass Abu Sada, a former aide to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. He himself had once been consumed by rage, a fighter dedicated to his cause, until an encounter with Christ changed his heart.
Now a devoted Christian, he leads a ministry that shares the message of Jesus. Recently, his team in Gaza began reporting an incredible transformation. People, previously devoted to Islam, had started seeking a different path—one filled with hope, love, and peace.
Sada recounted how the war had left many in deep despair, questioning everything they had once believed. And then, something miraculous happened: visions of Jesus Christ began appearing to them in their sleep.
These were not fleeting dreams, but vivid, powerful encounters that left them with an unshakable sense of peace and purpose. When they shared their experiences with one another, they realized the visions were strikingly similar—a divine confirmation that they had not imagined it.
Among these new believers was a grieving father who had lost his son in the war. One night, in his anguish, he cried out to God, asking for meaning amid his suffering.
That night, Jesus appeared to him in a dream, standing in radiant light, his arms stretched out in love. The father awoke with an unexplainable sense of peace.
The next day, he sought out others who had shared the same experience, and together, they decided to follow Christ.
A similar story was shared by Professor Michael Lona, who has dedicated much of his work to studying Jesus’s resurrection. He had been in contact with underground Christian ministries in Palestine, and their reports only deepened the mystery.
Over the course of just two days, his team ministered to hundreds of grieving fathers—men who had lost everything. As they comforted them and shared the message of Christ’s love, a supernatural event unfolded: Jesus appeared in dreams to over 200 of these men.
When they awoke, they sought out the Christian ministers, eager to learn more about this divine figure who had visited them.
For many of these new believers, the decision to follow Christ came at great personal risk. In a land where converting from Islam is often met with hostility, embracing Christianity was not easy.
Yet, the visions had filled them with such deep conviction that they could not turn away. Some had to keep their faith a secret, while others openly declared their new path, despite the dangers.
The phenomenon of Jesus appearing in dreams is not new. Mission Frontier magazine has long documented similar occurrences across the Middle East. In fact, up to 25% of Muslim converts worldwide have reported that a dream played a crucial role in their decision to follow Christ.
It appears that in places where open evangelism is nearly impossible, divine intervention takes on a different form—one that reaches people in the depths of their hearts, even as they sleep.
One particularly moving story is that of a woman who had left Islam but harbored deep suspicion toward Christians. She was lost, unsure of where to turn, and desperately seeking guidance.
One night, she had a dream. She saw a shepherd walking around an empty tomb, holding a staff in his hand. After circling the tomb several times, he approached her and offered her a loaf of bread, saying, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
The woman awoke in shock. She had never read the Bible, yet these words were unmistakably the words of Jesus during the Last Supper. Determined to understand, she reached out to a Christian she knew, who showed her the passage in the Bible. At that moment, she knew her dream had been real—Jesus had come to her. From that day on, she devoted her life to following Him.
These dreams are more than just personal experiences; they are a sign of something greater. Could this be a divine revival in the heart of Gaza? Sada believes so.
He sees the suffering of the region not as meaningless destruction, but as an opportunity—an awakening to a new spiritual path. He believes that God is working powerfully among the people, calling them to Him in extraordinary ways.
Yet, not everyone has these visions, leading some to wonder: Why does Jesus appear to some but not others? Many faithful believers long for such a supernatural encounter but never experience it.
However, spiritual leaders emphasize that faith is not solely about visions or dreams—it is about trusting God, even in the silence. Joseph in the Bible waited years for his dreams to come true. The Israelites wandered for decades before reaching the Promised Land. Faith is often a journey, requiring patience and trust.
Waiting on God is difficult, but it teaches invaluable lessons. Those who have encountered Jesus in dreams often say the experience came at their lowest moments—when they had nothing left to rely on but God Himself. This mirrors a universal truth: God’s timing is not ours, but He always comes through in ways we least expect.
The events in Gaza are a testament to this. They challenge us to reconsider the ways in which faith can flourish, even in the most unlikely circumstances. They remind us that in the darkest of times, light can still break through.
Today, more and more people in Gaza are quietly embracing Christianity. Some are finding strength in secret gatherings, while others are boldly sharing their testimonies. Their stories serve as a beacon of hope, proving that even in the midst of war and destruction, God is at work.
For those still waiting, still searching, the message is clear: trust in God’s plan. Whether He reveals Himself through dreams, through scripture, or through the quiet moments of life, He is always near, working behind the scenes in ways beyond human understanding.
And so, the story of Gaza’s spiritual transformation continues—a divine mystery unfolding in real time, a testament to the enduring power of faith, and a reminder that even in the most desperate of places, hope is never lost.
Sᴇᴇ Mᴏʀᴇ: Jesus ‘wasn’t called Jesus’ as scientists say Son of God went by something else
Jesus’ name has been through various different translation throughout the years, however historian now claim Jesus’ real name might be closer to the name we now know as ‘Joshua’

Jesus Christ probably had a totally different name, experts have sensationally claimed. Boffs reckon he would have gone by a moniker in his native language of Aramaic which would be unrecognisable to us.
It is a far cry from our modern tongue and the name Jesus has letters which were not even used in written language until 1,500 years after the ‘son of God’ died. The name of Christianity’s main figure has been mangled over time after being repeatedly translated – mutating from Aramaic to Hebrew, then Greek and into Latin.
It finally received an English translation in the 16th century by which time it had become ‘Jesus’.
In Hebrew this name is written as “Yeshu” which is closer to the English name “Joshua.”(Image: Getty Images)
Linguists also claim the surname was not ‘Christ’ and instead would have been linked to his home town of Nazareth in Israel. It means Jesus’ real name was probably actually Yeshu Nazareen. Professor Dineke Houtman, an expert on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity said: “We cannot know for sure which languages Jesus spoke.
“However, given his family background in Nazareth, we can assume his day-to-day language was Aramaic.”
The religious studies boff, from the Protestant Theological University in the Netherlands, said Jesus with a hard ‘J’ wasn’t a name that existed at the time he lived.
Professor Houtman added: “His name would probably have been in Aramaic – Yeshua. It is likely that this is also how he introduced himself. Another possibility is the shorter form Yeshu which is the form used in later rabbinic literature.”
The name Yeshu was as popular as the name Arthur is today. Professor Candida Moss, of Birmingham University added: “Most scholars agree that his name was Yeshua or possibly Yeshu, which was one of the most common names in first-century Galilee.”

And experts cast doubt on the name ‘Christ’ too. Historian Dr Marko Marina, of Zagreb University said: “In the ancient world, most people didn’t have a last name as we understand it today. Instead, they were identified through other means, such as their parentage, place of origin, or other distinguishing characteristics.

“For example, someone might be referred to as ‘John, the son of Zebedee’ or ‘Mary Magdalene’, with ‘Magdalene’ probably indicating she was from a place called Magdala.”
Many scholars agree Jesus, who was frequently referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, would likely have incorporated his hometown into his name.
