I Dreamed a Dream

We sat around on the floor of the unfinished house talking when suddenly we lifted off the floor and began floating through the air toward the door. On the porch we stopped and hovered in place. Some of the others began saying, “Must be Jesus is coming back,” but I didn’t think so. This had happened to me before and nothing came of it. I somehow got back inside the house but no sooner had I sat down than I floated out the door again. I was hanging onto the porch railing when I suddenly became aware of beautiful orchestral music coming from the sky. As I looked up, a glowing red spot in the sky caught my attention. As I watched it it began to stretch out in one direction. I saw a handle and then a long blade stretched out across the sky. It was blood red with clean lines and a sharp point. I realized this was the real deal. Jesus was coming back and the sword was an announcement of the coming judgement. With horror I realized that some people were still inside the house. They weren’t ready for Jesus to return! I opened my mouth to shout to them to quickly repent but then I remembered there was no time. It was already too late. The words died on my lips. I was terrified but at the same time I felt that I was ready.

Then slowly I became aware that I was in bed. My wife was on one side of me and my 3 year old son on the other. The warmth of their bodies assured me that it had only been a dream. But it seemed so real. I found myself searching my heart. If it would have been real would I have been ready. Would my family and friends be ready.

The Lord is coming back soon. Will you and I be together in heaven or will one or both of us experience an awful judgement for eternity. The choice is ours. The way has been provided. Examine your heart. Is there anything between you and God? If there is, deal with it now. An hour from now it could be too late. Remind the people around you that time is running out. Let us all be faithful every minute of our lives. We can afford nothing else.

“Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, ... But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
