In scripture it is said,
The instant after we are dead,
We‘ll be taken above,
To join the Lord safe in His love.
It will happen in a blink,
Faster than we imagine or think,
Once the call rings on out,
There won’t be fear or any doubt.
All that will be, is relief
Regarding the fruition of our belief.
The long wait of salvation,
Will culmination in great jubilation.

And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." Revelation 11:12


Have you ever been the last one chosen for a team? You know the two captains look over all the prospective players, sizing up who is most qualified to help the team win. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out whom the least qualified ones are. They are the last ones to be chosen. While the process of determination is underway the wait for your turn is interminable. As the candidates dwindle the wait seem longer and longer. As the humiliation drags on so too do minutes. Tick…….. Tick…………tick…………tick………………..tick……….tick.

We won’t have to wait that long. In a blink of an eye, once the drapery of death dispatches us, we are in heaven, that fast. Our Lord is that anxious for us to be with Him that He wastes not a nanosecond for us to join Him in paradise. No long wait at the proverbial pearly gates. There will be no thumbing through laborious ledgers for our name to be verified for entrance. Our passage has already been secured by the only one authorized to sanction our entry, the Lord Jesus Christ. It was certified when we opened the “door” of our heart to allow Him to enter, and He is anxious that we do not have to wait as long as He did. Entrance into His Kingdom is swift, in a blink of an eye we will enter.
