Vision
20: More concerning the 'calling away'
Vision: A pilot on a passenger plane on a
long-distance flight. In this case he is the only one on board who can safely
land the aircraft. Jesus appears to him inviting him to come along. He dearly
wants to but understands that that would doom the aircraft and its passengers.
He pleads his case with the Lord who gently commands him to complete the
journey and then go to the bathroom after landing where He will meet up with
him. In this way he is taken with Jesus into Heaven.
Next scene:
A Satanist comes to repentance, is born again and
baptized and now loves the Lord with all his heart. He even sleeps with his
Bible next to him. His Reverend informs him that with his history in Satanism
he will certainly not be worthy of going with Jesus when He comes. This saddens
and disheartens him very much. He leaves the church and eventually joins a home
fellowship. Upon recounting his experience with the Reverend the home group
leader asks him three questions. Are you a Christian? (He answers 'Yes!') Have
you been baptized? ('Yes!') Do you love Jesus? He answers "Yes, very
much!" In that case, says the leader, you are ready to go. Sometime later,
as the group are holding hands and praying together, Jesus comes to the young
man and invites him to come along. He eagerly agrees to and promptly disappears
from the circle. Upon noticing his disappearance the group starts singing
'Amazing Grace' and the moment they finish with the song all of them are also
instantly taken up to the Lord.
