WILL IT HAPPEN LIKE THIS?

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 whence came
the light begins to tumble a river of color spiking
crystals of 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.

Presently the movement stops and the trumpets are
silent, leaving only the triumphant triplet: Holy,
holy, holy. Between each word is a pause.
With each word, a profound reverence. You hear your
voice join in the chorus. You don't know why you say
the words, but you know you must.

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. .

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its
beginnings but Not its end.
