Poem
.... And I was walking in a field of golden wheat and just then, I was caught up in the spirit, that is the holy ghost of God, and it carried me through the clouds, up high, and it said to me, without voice, "Look down through the seven years that are the last." And I looked down toward the earth, and coming upon it were the four horsemen. And I saw seven years of hell on the earth that had been my temporary home. Rivers ran vast with blood of martyrs, delivered by the great destroyer. And the mountains did shake apart and fall into the sea. And there rose great fires and black smoke, and bursting through the black smoke and fires were tiny lights. And the spirit again spoke without words, saying, "These are the last of the souls to be delivered up, for the rest will be locked up in the pit." And when no more lights came up, again, the rivers flowed with blood of the wicked, by the one that sat on the pale horse. And I was carried up higher, past the atmosphere with no need of air, for I was in the spirit, and I saw a great mushroom cloud and the first earth was no more. And I was taken further, through all that man has ever imagined, to the edge of creation, and all the heavens were passed away. And I looked to the left of me and to the right and great was the number of those who had been caught up; that is to say, they had not known earthly death, but were changed. And all was dark, and I heard a loud voice say, "Behold!" "This is the new earth." And as he spoke it appeared there by his word, being much greater than the first; the whole of it being a paradise of gardens and orchards of every kind. Flowers of every color were strewn about as jewels, rising up from jaded grasses, and the air was sweet. Blue seas, crystaline rivers and every good thing, for it was untouched by sin of man, or deed of demon. And all the sounds were of singing birds and moving of the waters, and there was no need of sun, for it was lighted by the glory of the lamb. And I saw Jesus sitting high on a mountain and he said to us,"Come and dine." And we that had been caught up in the spirit and all who, since time began, that had believed on him were set upon the new earth. The animals of every kind did graze and lay together, and the people loved one another with love that is of God. And we did sup, and walk, and talk with him, and he reigned over us for a thousand years. This is, of course, inspired by the book of Revelations, in the King James Bible. Having received an email of brotherly concern regarding this writing, I feel compelled to say a word to my brothers and sisters in Christ.... This is in no way meant to be an attempt of translation of the revelation of John.. It is simply my thoughts of the "rapture" (man's word, not God's). Having said that, if even one person who does not know the word, be made curious and open the book and read and understand, I would be joyful and give glory to God for words passed through my pen.. Thank you to my Christian brother for your thoughts. For what are we as brothers and sisters, if not to care and show concern for one another.....
