Crystal Blue Sphere

I saw a vision of two worlds -

two paths leading away from each other...

two choices - with nothing - in between;

one is a freedom that leads to a future bright,

the other a return to the darkness of the night -

a choice begun in every human heart

a choice to return us again from the start.

(no picture I can find does justice to what I saw that day...)

I SAW IN A VISION,

a crystal blue sphere,

shining with a multitude of living lights.

The vision came to me quite abruptly

while I was awake in the day,

riding a jeep home from work.

The vision stayed for a time before me as I wondered.

I wondered at how wondrous and beautiful beyond imagination it was

that I thought I was seeing through the eyes of angels.

Then a darkness came over the vision

and it seemed to me for an instant that it was no longer there.

- selah -

But it was, O my nation,

before me was a world so overrun by sin and war

that it was no longer distinct from the nothingness of the void -

an unknown earth bereft of light,

forsook by heaven,

and forgot by God.
