The Flight

Soaring as an eagle upon the air,
feeling emotions beyond all compare.
Breaking through the clouds above,
I became consumed by an awesome love.
My appearance became unknown to me,
feeling so revived, changed and free.
Suddenly confronted by a glorious man,
who shone as the sun as He stretched forth His hand.
"My brother", he said, "Welcome to forever,
the time has come for your hearts' rewarded treasure".
With love flowing through His voice so crisp and real,
His glory and might had amazing appeal.
He said, "Beloved, you have lived for me,
therefore I grant you the life of eternity".
The precious Son of God, I beheld in my eyes,
as I rejoiced that Jesus had not passed me by.
Then He said, "Come my brother, we're off to glory",
and this is just the beginning of this awesome story.
As I followed my King with multitudes of others,
we sang and rejoiced as His sisters and brothers.
For the groom had finally come for His bride,
with the marriage complete, heavens gates opened wide.
Passing over the threshold I began to see,
the place I would live for all eternity.
I'll have to stop there, to describe the rest is forbidden,
hopefully you'll see for yourself the day you are risen.
I must warn you, there will be no cancellation or delay,
for the rapture could happen this very day.
Just remember, Christ will come as a thief in the night,
be prepared, be ready, don't miss the flight.

Your loving brother from the future,
St. Johnathon

Jesus is coming, be ready,
