A GLANCE AT THE CELESTIAL
CITY. MONDAY DECEMBER 25
TEXT: ROMANS. 11:33-36
Key Verse:
“He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in
his uprightness” Isaiah.57:2.
A saint was
taken on a heavenly pilgrimage, may this revelation inspire you in Jesus name.
"Are we near the gates of the city?" "Very near to the portals
of paradise," he said. At this the angels bowed their heads and covered
their faces with their hands, while I fell flat on my face in the chariot.
Stillness reigned in our souls, but deep emotions began to heave in my breast.
I felt I must break the silence by shouting the praises of God. The angels now
began to sing with a sweet voice, "Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! Just and
true are all thy ways, thou King of Saints." I sprang to my feet and for a
moment seemed perfectly bewildered with what met my gaze in every direction.
The light was so transparent and far exceeding the most perfect day earth ever
afforded. Clusters of heavenly flowers were growing everywhere. Groves of
beautiful trees loaded with fruit, along with magnificent flowering shrubs
beautiful beyond description met my eye in all directions. Roadways like
winding streets arranged with exquisite taste and beauty, were penetrating this
pleasure ground of glory. Lovely souls were coming and going, passing and
re-passing each other with the salutations and courtesies that heaven only
knows.
The chariot
was now slowing its speed and such raptures of glory which filled my soul, I
cannot describe them! I was simply lost in wonder, while I kept saying,
"Surely I am at home at last." The chariot seemed trembling as a
thing of life and finally halted beside a beautiful grove of fruit laden trees.
The doors were opened and the angels stepped out. I fairly sprang with one leap
to the solid foundations of the heavenly kingdom. For a moment I stood
perfectly entranced as I saw so many happy souls clothed in white garments of
lovely patterns, and all with such bright and happy faces beaming with perfect
contentment and satisfaction. I could contain my feelings no longer. I fell on
my face again beside the angel, with loud thanksgiving to God…It is unfortunate
that many still indulge in the pleasures of this world.
Thought for
the day: How beautiful heaven must be!
Song for the day: Heaven is full of Joy;
heaven is full of joy, joy, joy, joy.
