VISION OF HEAVEN: CELESTIAL
ODYSSEY
One late evening
while deep in worship, in a vision I saw an enormous angel, ten times
larger than the most physical and muscular man I had ever seen on
this earth. He had golden curly hair, with eyes like liquid blue
lightning. His face was like that of a shining white-hot furnace and
in his mouth were tongues of fire from which came forth beautiful
celestial languages of the heavens.
And suddenly, his
right hand extended upward toward the northern sky while his left
hand clasped the end of a brilliant, bright, glowing amber sword.
His clothes were
made of a heavenly material- such as not ever found or seen on this
earth – like a very fine bead-like material that seemed as if it
were alive. Platinum-like in color, it pulsated with light, a living
light that emanated the very glory of my Creator God.
Oh and suddenly,
ever-changing musical melodies in endless scales and descants of
indescribable beauty were like a spontaneous spring gushing forth
form his very garments. This angelic being had just come fresh from
the presence of Almighty God.
Then I began to
realize that the glory beads of his garment still sparkled and
shimmered with the light of God’s own Shekinah presence. I trembled
at the reality and the very existence of such glorious beings
obviously from another dimension far greater than this.
His face was imbued
with a spirit of nobility and purity and purpose, and yet with an
almost pitiful expression, he looked down on my trembling frame and
said with a loud clarion voice, “Come.”
He took me by the
hand and in one moment we were moving upward at a great speed where I
could see on the horizon to the north, a great throne of light. All
around the throne was a brilliant fog and mist, surrounded by
incalculably tall towering clouds with a multitude of lightenings and
loud thunders encompassing it. And I could see angelic beings singing
beautiful songs and some were doing cartwheels in the sky.
Again on the horizon, one could easily see in the far distance a glorious throne upon which
sat the most excellent glorious God and King. And above His throne
was an emerald rainbow, the arc of which is immeasurable in height,
too awesome to describe. To the Northeast, I could clearly see seven
large, jeweled mountains with pillars of holy fire extending up from
them.
The angel said,
“This is the future dwelling place prepared for God’s own elect.”
I then pleaded with
the angel, “Please take me closer to God’s throne," because I
could feel the life and the love and the light that came from His
very being even though it was at such a far-off distance. The closer
we drew the more alive I felt, the more joy. I never felt so alive in
my entire existence. God is the source of all life and love and
holiness and perfection. To be close to Him is an unutterable
ecstasy.
And as we drew
closer I trembled with fear for I began to see the four beasts. These
Cherubim like creatures, great powerful living creatures who protect
the throne of God, who incessantly praise the Lord of the Universe.
And I could see the multitude of their eyes, within and without, who
see and discern all things. One is not capable to perceive or
calculate their height, their width, their fearsome might or power,
the amplitude of their energy or strength, glory, and honor.
A great throne of
angelic symphonies play continuously free-flowing music. As I looked
upward, I could see streaking across the celestial skies of heaven
like shooting stars, multitudes of amber-like chariots of multiple
colors carrying scores of heavenly luminaries.
And I could see a
sea of angelic beings Seraphim and Cherubim and archangels and angels
of all varieties, a multitude too numerous to estimate, all raising
their hands all playing instruments to the glory of Him who sits on
the throne between the four Beasts.
Myriads of angels
with such beautiful and glorious singing; millions of angelic voices
blending together in descants so high and harmonious and complex with
amazing ethereal quality as to defy the imagination.
Suddenly there
appeared to the right side of the throne one who had the appearance
as unto the Son of Man, in an instant, the angel and I fell prostrate
on the crystal floor as if slain while a great archangel exclaimed
with a loud voice, “BEHOLD, THE SON OF GOD, WORSHIP HIM!!!!”
The brilliance of
the ‘Shekinah” streams forth from His presence for millions and
millions of earth miles. And with the voice of many waters, He said
….
”LET HIM WHO HAS
EARS, HEAR WHAT JESUS CHRIST HAS TO SAY TO HIS CHURCH. HAPPY IS HE
WHO TURNS ASIDE FROM THE PRIDE OF THIS LIFE, THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH,
AND WHO FORSAKES THE SECULAR, UNGODLY, WORLDLY PATHS OF THIS FALLEN
COSMOS AND LUCIFER, THE FALLEN ONE.”
Then, suddenly, I
heard peels of the loudest thunders and huge lightenings as the
heavenly whirlwinds pushed us higher and higher toward the most Holy
One’s very own throne. No flesh can behold directly the Father’s
face or see His form. No evil will dwell in His presence. No man will
glory in His presence. No flesh can glory in His presence. Yet the
extent of the Holy Father’s face is incomprehensible and without
measure or analogy…To see this part of the vision was for me to
melt into nothingness.
I cried out to the angel, "Please save my life…"
For the lips of the Lord are as a furnace of fire – There is no
metaphor or words in Earth language to describe all this….
The face of our God
cannot be spoken of. Yet from His glorious face, He emits sparks and
lightenings of life for the entire universe. The light of the face of
God is brighter than a trillion sun-stars, His Holy face is man-like
but it is translucent and incandescent, and so unutterably beautiful
and pleasurable beyond any compare. Supremely awesome and infinitely
unique and glorious, with powerful and mighty mysterious voices of
incomprehensible magnitudes, multiple voices and billions of
commands, simultaneous commands, emitting forth from His mouth and
being.
His form is attended
to by armies of millions of angels who obey His every thought and
whim and worship before His Holy face with never silent singing. The
Glory of the omnipotent Eternal One is dazzling beyond description.
Then this marvelous archangel looked down upon me and said, “Yet
even the least of the elect saints are the brother of Jesus Christ,
your Lord. Yea, even thou shalt sing a song that we angelic beings
can never sing. For by the blood of Jesus Christ, ye have been
adopted and made part of the royal family of God, and ye will sing
forever the song of the redeemed and shall rule and reign with our
God!”
Yet, I still
remember the vision and can almost recall the glorious sounds of His
angels…. For with the angel’s song I again can see His throne.
CONCLUSION
Immediately after
the vision and upon returning to the Earthly realm I pray our eyes
are open to see the great need for Holiness. Heaven is a pure and
peaceful place of glory and light. Oh how He loves you, and He wants
you to be with Him. For all eternity He will never stop loving you,
you are His bride prepare yourself for HIM.
John 3:5 "Jesus
answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of
water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
Heb 12:14 "Pursue
peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see
the Lord"
Col 3:1 "If
then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on
things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your
life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life
appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. 5 Therefore put
to death your members which are on the earth: fornication,
uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is
idolatry. 6 Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon
the sons of disobedience, 7 in which you yourselves once walked when
you lived in them. 8 But now you yourselves are to put off all these:
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. 9
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with
his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge
according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all."
