Revelation

We all sat in front of the big screen T.V watching the battle. Battle? It was
more like an annihilation. Our side was slaughtering the enemy right, left, up
and down. We didn't miss a stroke. Our fearless leader was in front of his
troops in the valley doing the most damage. He was in charge. His breast plate
had LOL, KOK inscribed on it large red letters. The dead were piling up on
the ground starting to float in blood that hadn't soaked into the earth but was
rising higher than the horse's chests making it harder for the foe to maneuver.

Large birds of prey were accumulating, picking the flesh off of the losers. As
the battle wound down, four winged generals went to the side lines on higher
ground to sort out the prisoners at a makeshift court where our King was
questioning them.
The reporter got up close with her microphone and we
heard, "Sir, do you remember when I was flooded out of my home and my family
and I were starving. You sat down at your dinner table and ignored my needs for
weeks."
"I have never laid my eyes on you before! You've mistaken me for
someone else. Please, have mercy!" was the indignant and angry response.
"No, sir. It was you and I was in the face of every Katrina victim that was posted
on T.V and bulletins everywhere. You sir are guilty of showing no mercy!", our
King roared.
The hapless man was hauled off to a giant barbeque pit (not to be
fed!). His attorney was already there being grilled, literally.
Then a lady came up humbly before the King. "M'am, step to my right side, you will be well taken care of. You were kind to me at the infirmary in jail every time you
visited."
"Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but I think someone else deserves
this place of honor, I've never met you before."
"Yes, m'am, you have. I was on death row when you and your Sunday school class came to offer bible studies. I was in the heart of every convicted criminal you helped see the truth."

I didn't have the stomach to watch any more, but I was in a hypnotic trance.
I'm so glad I'm not over there! Years earlier I had been in the middle of a
sentence at work when a loud noise erupted from some unseen place. I saw the
look of amazement in my co-worker's face for just a split second before I was
sucked up into some huge whirl wind, completely naked and unashamed! Millions
of us were spiraling upward towards a huge figure with a trumpet in his hands.
We passed the sun, (every sun), planets, and galaxies till we were deposited in
this land, on the other side of the rainbow,(sorry, no wizards here to take us
back home, for that matter no wicked witches either). We were far away from the
war zone in front of us now. Seven years of hard times fell on those we left at
home waiting for the proper time for our worthy commander to intervene in world
affairs. Now those that hadn't listened to us while we were in hearing distance
were being convicted or released. A shout went up from all of us when we
recognized a new convert and winner and we toasted each other with our wine
glasses. We cried one last time for all those that got thrown into the large pit. I had to cover my ears, the screeching, pleading, cursing and howling that escaped the pit every time the lid was opened was demonic, for all the demons had been incarcerated first. What a waste, they had all been there at the beginning, how could they let one little
guy with a red tail talk them into an insurrection? What dopes. Lucifer had not
created a singe thing out of nothing, but chaos out of everything.

At last, business completed, the army returned home, white horses prancing,
nares flaring with victory. The troops were complete, we hadn't lost one! All
the soldiers were full of energy and excitement. While most of us had watched
the engagement down below, the natives of this land had been busy preparing a
feast. The King was ready to take his bride, to the victor go the spoils, and
boy, were we a spoiled lot, none of us deserved what we were going to receive.
He wouldn't wed her till everything was unblemished. We were all headed to the
best and last wedding we'd ever attend. His bride was dressed in the finest
silk and gold that blood could buy. The table was laden with the purest wine
and food available and slowly, slowly, we began to forget our past lives, loves
and losses. We had new future, different goals, we had eternity. This was one
marriage that would never see the divorce courts.(After all, there weren't any
lawyers here, get over it, there's no need, you lawyers have enough time to
learn a new trade!)

After the reception and festivities we all approached a great white throne
where a huge ball of light rested. On the right side of the royal seat stood a
man that had earned the privilege of that position. We all stood before the
throne of grace by ourselves, we only were responsible for our lives’ deeds.
Each of us were read to from a huge book and all that was credited to our
defense was the "blood". This was sufficient, because after the reading every
word against us vanished from the pages. I never thought red blood could bleach
out my black past!. After we were judged eligible we were assigned cities to
rule. Some of us received ten, five and one. I got one and was totally pleased.
No one argued with the results of the book. We were too elated with our rewards
after having seen "the pit". We returned to the globe where all life had
started. The birds and wild animals had cleaned up the combat zone and there
remained no sign of conflict. We would now start the reconstruction of what
should have taken place from the garden of Eden. From Genesis to Revelation,
years of detouring, we were back at the beginning.
