We are all responsible for the measure of faith we are given. It is for this reason some day that we will give an account. Sometimes things happen in life that act as guideposts or mile markers on our journey. They can take the form of people, places, things, or events that shape and mold our daily events that after time accumulate into a pattern of experiential memories as if we were driving down the road looking back in the rear view mirror.
In one sense we are caught up with the cacophony of the world system which demands success at all costs. We are frustrated at the same time as things deteriorate on a global scale and we see our future dreams and cherished American way of life be replaced with doubt and uncertainty. Cynicism now seems to be du jour as reality becomes more brutal day by day.
Added to this hyper stress milieu is the prospect of inevitable loss which only furthers the downward cycle. We find ourselves constantly caught up in the moment which never seems to alleviate us from our surroundings. The world only seems to offer stress, uncertainty, broken promises, and the shill cry of change.
We are traveling through a time continuum and don’t even know it. However, the overall picture is much bigger than we can even imagine.
Much, much bigger.
THE TUNNEL:
It has been some time since I have had this vision. After all these years in one way it seems so long ago but in reality, it was just a nanosecond ago. Let me explain.
I found myself in what seemed like a cone shaped tunnel and looking back at what amounted to “my life”. It was knowing that in the grand scheme of things, the time involved that marked my existence was virtually nothing. I was immediately shown the fact that in eternity; your life is and amounts to a speck of sand on a beach compared to a universe of galaxies. The timeframe involved is virtually non-existent.
At the same time, I was able to look back on my life and view it objectively and had the immediate sensation as if I had taken off some old dirty clothes and they sat in a heap on this tiny speck of sand in this enormous time continuum. Feelings of being in total awe quickly flooded over me.
And then it happened…
Immediately I found myself (or what I consisted of spiritually speaking) literally flying though this vastness of space. It was also absolutely and completely dark. The kind of blackness of night that you had never known before during your lifetime. Like being in an underground cavern and your candle went out.
I also had the sense I was not alone.
The next thing I cannot adequately explain in words but, I’ll do my best. An incredible complete sense of peace, tranquility, and bliss came over me that was indescribable. It saturated my soul and lifted my spirit. My soul and heart were finally at peace the meaning of which the world has no concept of. But in the enormity and vastness of eternity, it all made perfect sense.
The Bible explains it succinctly:
Psalm 23:
1 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever”.
Yes, I know I’ll have a few people out there that will nay-say this vision that I had and call it some contrived NDE (Near Death Experience) or something. That’s OK. All I know is that it happened. Why I wasn’t allowed to make it all the way through – I don’t know why except to say –
If I could, I’d be there right now.
In all sincerity, I hope this account of what happened to me so long ago will give a little bit of comfort and peace to someone out there that needs it. And know for a fact that Almighty God (Jesus) will bring you safety home when your time comes…
Of that – you can be sure.
