Out of the Blue

The wait and see approach seems good,
until
the dam breaks forth with naught to teach.
The greatest book,
  its majesty
      caught up
out of ordinary reach.
And
who can tell, now, what you are supposed to do
when Christ
and His saints have left the earth, sea, and sky.
    Out of the blue, 
  they’ve disappeared
and now you know it's true.
You’re shaken to the core.
The leftovers,
                     mesmerized by trickery,
                magic and ufologists.
Scotty, they’ve beamed them up!

Meanwhile the saints
     experience 
glory after glory after glory,

in awe of the beauty, brightness, mercy and grace
of Christ.

Their new bodies
fit
just right.

Reunited with family and friends,
     and
       the splendor
   of His majesty,
forever and ever and ever.

It will be interesting to see what occurs that day. Many terrible things still need to happen, I presume. I enjoyed your perspective of a future day glorious for some but not for others. (did you ever see the drama on HBO called the Leftovers? It was not exactly about your topic but it sure was an interesting show)

No, I didn’t. I don’t have HBO. Have you watched Left Behind with Kirk Cameron? Thank you for your comments, sweet lady. I hope you’re having a blessed day <3
