Balance and Scales in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Scales, Weighing scales, Balance, Weights and measures

What it means

The economic system; finance, trade and business.

Honesty and fair dealing. A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.

Scales also weigh a person rather than goods — Belshazzar was weighed in the balances and found wanting.

✦ When it is positive

Honesty in business
Economic accountability
Divine justice rightly applied

⚠ When it is a warning

Economic scarcity
Character weighed and found wanting
False weights, representing dishonest dealing

How to tell the difference

Establish WHAT is being weighed. Goods or money point to trade and provision; a person, a heart or an action points to divine assessment. Note whether the scales are level, tipped, or visibly rigged.
