Now if this doesn't get rid of Obama, nothing will...
You are in your car driving home.
Thoughts wander to the game
you want to see or meal you
want to eat, when suddenly
a sound unlike any you've
ever heard fills the air.
The sound is high above you.
A trumpet? A choir? A choir of trumpets?
You don't know, but you want to know..
So you pull over, get out of your car,
and look up.
As you do, you see you
aren't the only curious one.
The roadside has become a parking lot.
Car doors are open, and people are
Staring at the sky.
Shoppers are racing out
of the grocery store.
The Little League baseball
game across the street
has come to a halt.
Players and parents
are searching the clouds.
And what they see, and
what you see,
has never before been seen.
As if the sky were a curtain,
the drapes of the atmosphere part
A brilliant light spills onto the earth.
There are no shadows. None.
From every hue ever seen
and a million more never seen.
Riding on the flow is an endless fleet
of angels.
They pass through the curtains
one myriad at a time,
until they occupy every
square inch of the sky.
North. South. East. West.
Thousands of silvery wings
rise and fall in unison,
and over the sound
of the trumpets,
you can hear the cherubim and seraphim chanting, Holy, holy, holy...
The final flank of angels is
followed by twenty-four
silver-bearded elders
and a multitude of souls
who join the angels in worship.
Suddenly, the heavens are quiet.
All is quiet. The angels
turn, you turn,
the entire world turns and
there He is... Jesus.
Through waves of light
you see the silhouetted figure of Christ
the King. He is atop a great stallion,
and the stallion is
atop a billowing cloud.
He opens his mouth,
and you are surrounded
by his declaration:
I am the Alpha and the Omega.
The angels bow their heads...
The elders remove their crowns...
And before you is a Figure
so consuming that you know,
instantly you know:
Nothing else matters.....
Forget stock markets
and school reports.
Sales meetings and football games.
Nothing is newsworthy..
All that mattered, matters no more..
For Christ has come.
"Amen. Even so, come, LORD Jesus." (Revelation 22:20).
