Are there Dreams which are as a result of Satan? Not saying that it's the Devil which Sends them.
Forexample, we have heard of Witchcraft. A person may dream of Evil things as a result of Being Worked on by Witch doctors and in so doing maybe God shows him or her of the Attacks of the Enemy in a dream.(in order to pray) can't we say that though such a dream is from God as Warning , and then say they are as a result of the Evil attacks of the Enemy?
Can angels give us dreams? Satan is a fallen angel with no more power than any other angel.
Is there any Biblical evidence of satan or any other angel giving us dreams?
Let's say that a person has a dream of losing their baby and then, later it happens, is that Satan?
Why would we assume that it is Satan? (And remember, when the Pharisees gave demons credit for what God did they were accused of blasphemy.)
Only God knows the future. If only God knows when Jesus will return, then nobody but God can tell the future.
Why would God send such a dream? Because the only thing worse than losing someone is the agony of not knowing and being left in limbo. I would rather know the truth then have to wait to find out. If I were bleeding and didn't know for sure if I was going to lose my baby or not, I would want to know. I hate being left in limbo. I want to know so I can move past it starting right now.
Peter was told he would deny Jesus three times. He was foretold about his future (unpleasant) death.
18Truly, truly, I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.
God tells us the truth because it is better to know the truth than to be comforted with a lie.
@miaradhs One time I watched a prophet who was teaching and said that the Devil can inflict some people in Dream! What can you say a Bout that?
@miaradhs Satan can Tempt, he never Feared Jesus. I think the Devil has the ability to manipulate the Word of God and even Tempt people.
Am not saying that Dreams are from Satan but am saying that there are those dreams which God shows us thereby revealing to us the Attacks of the Enemy. The good news is that when we pray, we cannot fall into those evil traps of the Enemy. God always makes a way Out???????
For the Case of Angles, they are Ministering Spirits. God can send them to deliver a message. The case of Joseph Matthew 2:13
@miaradhs One time I watched a prophet who was teaching and said that the Devil can inflict some people in Dream! What can you say a Bout that?
I can say that the sky is purple but that doesn't make it true. And there is no evidence of that in the Bible.
John 21:18( so the Book of John is Fine?) The only Challenge is that people may poorly or wrongly missinterprete it?

Jesus is the "Word" aka promise of God. He can't manipulate the promises of God.
He definitely does reveal attacks of the enemy.

They definitely do misinterpret it.
Here's another example of God giving a prophecy of doom:
The Writing on the Wall
5 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father[a] had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.
7 The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers[b] and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant. 9 So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled.
10 The queen,[c] hearing the voices of the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall. “May the king live forever!” she said. “Don’t be alarmed! Don’t look so pale! 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners. 12 He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar, was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding, and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.”
13 So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him, “Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah? 14 I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you and that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom. 15 The wise men and enchanters were brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it means, but they could not explain it. 16 Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and to solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
17 Then Daniel answered the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.
18 “Your Majesty, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and glory and splendor. 19 Because of the high position he gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language dreaded and feared him. Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death; those he wanted to spare, he spared; those he wanted to promote, he promoted; and those he wanted to humble, he humbled. 20 But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory. 21 He was driven away from people and given the mind of an animal; he lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like the ox; and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he acknowledged that the Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes.
22 “But you, Belshazzar, his son,[d] have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. 23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. 24 Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription.
25 “This is the inscription that was written:
mene, mene, tekel, parsin
26 “Here is what these words mean:
Mene[e]: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
27 Tekel[f]: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
28 Peres[g]: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
29 Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
30 That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians,[h] was slain, 31 and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.[i]
@miaradhs I was looking at a Psalm where the Devil was telling Jesus to jump from the temple! The Devil Quoted a Scripture and the Scripture was somehow true but at the wrong time and the Interpretation.
@miaradhs Oh! This is Powerful. They that Know their God indeed shall always do Exploits!???????
@miaradhs Whoever Puts himself against the Knowledge of God is already Judged. It all calls us to Reverence Father God.
@miaradhs I was looking at a Psalm where the Devil was telling Jesus to jump from the temple! The Devil Quoted a Scripture and the Scripture was somehow true but at the wrong time and the Interpretation.
The scripture was true and there was no misinterpration. Satan was trying to make Jesus make God prove that it was true, which would be tempting God to fall into pride by proving it was true to the devil, as if He had to prove Himself.

What do you mean? How does this apply to the question or answer?
@miaradhs was just Commenting about what you wrote concerning Nebuchadnezzar ?
