A break. A natural pause.
You can hear it, can't you? There's a place in culture where we find this gap. It's the gap between heaven and hell. The great divide.
And we have to stop. Break. Selah.
On the one hand, screaming demons. On the other, angels choirs.
Which voice do you hear? Which sound do you follow and is it a distinct sound?
It's like we're standing in the middle and we can see on each side of that gap---that gape. What a dilemma! Where do we focus? We can't leave the world behind. As Christians, the angels choirs are so appealing, so breathtaking. Many voices, yet, they're one. It's always been that way on this side of the gap.
Selah.
There's another side. Many loved ones walk there, unaware of heaven's side of the gap. We see both sides, as Christians. If we're careful, we can sense something happening among the screaming demons. On heaven's side, there's always been this---a oneness. Many voices, but they are one. They are life. Breathtaking. Rejuvenating.
Selah.
Take a moment. Pause.
The voices of the screaming demands are becoming one, as well. They've not always been this way. They've reveled in confusion. It's been their delight to break apart, divide, and create Babel in the world where many people live.
Now, however. Their job has been made easier. They, too, now have a coalition of the willing. Their voices are becoming one. They are death. Breathtaking. Suffocating.
Christians provide the song that closes the gap; fixing our eyes on Jesus, and directing our hands and feet to conquer death.
The End.
Selah.

What I might change - there was a missing comma towards the end...and you really didn;t need the words The End did you are is that meant to be part of the story. I was confused there.
This was creative and thought provoking!
