For the time is near.
[Revelation1:3]
***************************
"Lord, I don't understand."
"What, My child."
"Well, You know,
I finished reading
'Left Behind'."
[NOD.]
"I don't really understand it."
"Tell Me, child."
"Huh?
About the TRIBULATION!"
"Read My Book, child."
"I have, Lord!
I HAVE!"
"Read It, once more, child."
"Yeah, but, Lord.......
I mean, couldn't we be
in the Tribulation,
right NOW?"
"How so, My precious."
"Well.......I mean,
maybe, all the real Christians
left a long time ago,
and it's all of US,
who are LEFT!"
"Who are the real Christians,
My child?"
"Eh........You know, Lord:
those early guys - the
ones from just around B.C."
[SMILE.]
"Ah.
I see."
"I mean, couldn't we
all be just the LEFTOVERS?"
[CHUCKLE.]
"I mean, maybe,
Your perception of 7 years
is.......like, our 2000 YEARS?"
[PATIENT PAUSE.]
"Child, you haven't
eaten your lunch, yet."
"Uh uh, Lord.
You know it's my day off,
and I sleep in late, and
get up, even later."
[NOD.]
"Eat something, child."
"WHY, Lord;
what, You think
my logic suffers,
before I've had some
PROTEIN?"
[NOD.]
"Yeah; okay."
[PATIENT NOD.]
"But, after I eat,
I want to take up
right where we
left off, OKAY?"
[PATIENT SIGH.]
"Yes, My Beloved."
*************************
After this I looked,
and lo, in heaven an open door!
And the first voice,
which I had heard speaking
to me like a trumpet,
said,
Come up hither,
and I will show you
what must take place
after this.
[Revelation 4:1-2]
