Diary of a Son The return of the King.

And so it was as I lay on my bed at night that the dream visions of my sleeps awakened my spirit and I heard the familiar voice of the Lord of ages, the God of Creation, as He called out to me; Come now Son, and I will show you the things that will soon take place. And as He spoke, I saw a creature descending from the Heavens and it landed where I stood, it's appearance was like a horse that led the ranks of the King's chariot, but it had two great wings of a mighty dragon, and its magnificent strides shook the earth. And it said unto me; Mount, and I shall carry you off to the Creator and set you in His presence, for He has summoned you by name and sent me to bring you to Him, for I am His wings with which He soars the great Heavens. And I mounted this creature that had the semblance of a horse and flew with the wings of a dragon, and He carried me up high into the Highest Heaven and in that place was pure light and only the sound of worship was heard there and in it was not found the falsities of darkness. Unable to stand for awe of the Throne and the One who sat on the Throne, I bowed down prostrate and so did all who stood all around the Throne, for none could come close to it, and in unison we all with one voice praised the Majesty and Glory and Power of the One who sat on the Throne. Lifting up our voices we sang; Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, God Almighty, and there is none worthy of worship but Him. As we bowed in worship, He summoned His mighty right hand, and It held me and raised me to my feet, and It set me at His feet, and His mighty right hand rested on me. And there before me was a sea of glass, clearer than crystals, and I looked into it and as I looked He said to me; tell me beloved, what do you see? I answered Him saying; before my eyes is a wide and beautiful land, it's grasses always green, the fruits ever so sweet, and it's waters satisfying to the soul. It's beauty cannot be described with words alone, and it's abundance was beyond measure. And He said to me, this is land which I created as pasture for my flock that they may not lack any good thing and be filled with all satisfaction. Again I looked and on this beautiful land was seen many, digging into the ground of this pasture, and breaking into its walls thereof, and they hid in these holes they have created the images of their gods, and the names by which they are called. And whenever the sheep had gathered, they fed them in the name of the Lord, but later in secret, they feed the sheep to the name and image of their idolatry. And lo I was greatly perplexed at this and I asked; what does this mean o Great and Mighty One who knows all things? And He said, do you not know who these are? These are some among the shepherds that I have set over my flock to tend to them and feed them in due season, but they have acted treacherously and called my name in vain, while bowing down to stones and woods of the pasture and calling them master. See now I am about to require my name from their lips, and I shall set my hand on them for evil and not for good, and I shall cast them into the fire kindled from their idolatry, and their memories will be forgotten in shame, and their names used in taunts. Again I looked and behold men in great numbers, they led the sheep astray with false prophecies, deceiving them with false teachings, they say; Peace, Peace, Prosperity, when in fact there was no peace, and the land languished in famine, and so many of the sheep strayed from the good paths, and many were lost in the mirage of their lies. Then the Master of the flock said to me; Listen, and I will make known to you this mystery, the are the servants of my pasture, that see to the affairs of the sheep, to lead them through goodly lands and still waters, but they have sold my words for a little price, and speak words that are pleasing to the ears of their buyers. They have prophesied lies and said; Thus says the Lord, when I have not sent them or spoken such. Lo I will now require a ransom for their lives from the bounty of their sale of my words, perhaps they will be able to pay it, from the abundance of their devious trades. I looked this third time into the sea of glass, and lo, a multitude of men stood before me, and numerous number of flock gathered around them, and these men with loud voices cry out to the flock; more meat, more wool, more gold. At this I said; my Lord and King, what does this mean? And He answered me and said; these are they among the shepherds that plunder my flock, and despoil my sheep. They demand more and more and even more from the flock, and are not willing themselves to feed the sheep in due season that they may grow fat and produce bountifully. I will now send my plunderers, and they shall ravage these shepherds and plunder them, until there is nothing left of them, and even the thought of their name will send shivers down the spine at the horror of their plundering. I glorified the Lord of ages as He had made known to me what is to be, and as I looked again I saw beasts of different kinds and in their mouth were sheep from the flock and standing before these beasts were shepherds, and they looked on as these beasts devoured the sheep of the flock and did not rescue they prey from the jaws of the beast, but instead fed themselves with the meat of the bones that had been crushed, and covered themselves with the shreds of their wool. And I was grieved at this and I said, Master, why do they look on as the sheep are devoured in large numbers or are these not also shepherds? And He said, they cower at the roar of the beast, and tremble at their large sharp teeth, and in order that they may save their own lives, they wash their hands with the blood of the sheep and comfort themselves with its bones and wool fragments left from the ravaging beast. To these the hand of the Lord shall be stretched out in wrath, for they have considered in their hearts that the Hand of the Lord of the flock is shortened that it cannot snatch the prey from the jaws of these beasts and break their teeth to pieces. They assume that My eyes are blind and do not see their treachery in handing over to the beast sheep of my flock to be devoured. Now my ears has heard the outcry of my sheep that is devoured by beasts of the earth, and I have sent the fury and wrath of My Righteous judgement to require from the shepherds the blood of the sheep that has been devoured in their care by these beast. They shall themselves be devoured and mauled by great beast, and there would be none to rescue them on that day. As I looked this fifth time, I saw a small group of men, they were small in number and strength, but they tended to the sheep and gave attention to their well-being, they led them through good pastures with fine grass and sweet waters. And I asked, surely these are a remnant of the shepherds of your flock that do your will o Great and Mighty God? And he answered me and said; Yes my Son, these are the remnants of the shepherds that do my will and bring glory to my name, and though they are small, they shall inherit the goodly pastures and their reward shall be great in the land and I shall set over them the One whom my right hand has strengthened and He shall be to them a light, a compass, a standard, and the bearer of the banner of the Lord. From the root of David he shall spring forth and all the land will revere and worship his God who has set him apart for this great purpose and time. And now my beloved, return to your people and the land of mortals and say to them; Those who wish to follow Me I welcome with my hand stretched out and warm embrace, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. This is what I have commanded, that you should love the Lord your God and Honor Him, and Him alone must you serve. Ye must love your neighbor as thyself and do unto others as you wish it would be done unto you, for everyone reaps the fruit of what he has down for I the Lord am a just God. As for your enemies, give them food when they hunger and water when they thirst, for in this you shall heap up coals on their heads. And I said, far be it from them to listen to my words for I am one of unclean lips. But He ignited His word with fire, and gave me to eat, and lo it made my mouth sour and bitter, but sweetened my stomach with a strange sweetness. And He said; go, speak the words that I have told you and tell of the things your eyes have seen, and let he who has ears hear what the Master of the universe, the Lord of ages, has decreed to take place at this time. Let the reprobrate ignore and cast aside the words of your lips, on that day, your word that was cast aside will stand in judgement against them. This is the word of the I am. And the creature that resembles a horse and had the wings of a dragon bore me on Its wings and set me back on my bed and I awoke and blessed the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, who created all things but was himself not created, He is sufficient for us and the best of those on whom to depend, and He holds the seven Heavens from falling upon the earth except at His command, He is most great, most merciful, to Him belongs power, and dominion, and majesty, and there is none worthy of worship but Him alone who has no partner.
