The Window
The Window
In the not so distant past, there existed an imposing partition. That wall was built to control and keep its people inside its borders. The purpose of the wall was to prevent the free flow of people. That beastly wall of bondage was known as the iron curtain. It was not a symbol of freedom, but the reality of captivity. I have friends who were born and held behind that wall.
I had a dream last night, not about the free flow of people, but about the free flow of the gospel in my country. As best that I can describe it, there was a free flow of the Word of God in our country. There were only limited pockets of resistance, and there was even activity of biblical instruction among the very young in schools.
It was a delight to see such liberty without any form of government mandates from the left or the right. In the dream itself, I received no instructions or purposes for the dream.
However, this morning I felt and sensed its meaning. It seems to confirm something that I felt and began to write about several months ago. Namely this: There is a window of opportunity for the gospel that presently shall remain open for a season.
History reveals a direct link between the free flow of the gospel and the free flow of people. 'Good news' promotes freedom*. Therefore, presently, we must take every advantage and use every available venue before that window shuts.
