From my heart
What is Happening?I screamed
by justjo66
"What is Happening?" I screamed.(title)
Dark, cold rain hitting the windshield so hard the wipers can't keep up. The windows have condensation from just our breathing. The streets are flooded and I am unable to tell one lane from the other.
Bright lights in my rear view mirror suddenly blind me as I realize the huge tanker truck is coming around us at a fast speed. The water sloshes up and engulfs my van. Quickly without a thought a curse word escapes from my tightly clenched lips.
This is a familiar route, my way to work. I travel this route twice a day every work day. What is so different today? I seem to not remember the way. I am lost.
I slowly pull over and decide to wait the rain out. This area all looks familiar but yet something is so different. Once the rain has stopped, I get out of my van and look around. Oh, I remember now. I need to take a left over the overpass and then I will be on the right path. A left over the slow moving traffic below and then the road turns into a narrow dirt road dipping into a soggy forest. The road has dwindled to an undrivable path. On foot my daughter and I climb a hill to see where we are. Suddenly, she disappears. Gone just like that! Nothing but echoes of my own desperate voice returns from the shadows.
Then I hear loud crashes all around me. A car is flying strangely over my head and lands in the forest in front of me. No driver...no one in the vehicle.
"What is happening?" I scream. "What is happening?"
Something tells me to look up and in the bright blue sky my eyes cannot believe what I am seeing.
Christ is descending in the clouds. Souls are meeting Him.
Why am I not being called up?
I have spent my life going to church, reading my Bible, doing the right thing. I am a "good" person. I am being left behind. All these thoughts rage through me in an instant. The feeling sweeps over me of total despair.
"Oh God!" I cry, "Please don't leave me!" Yet in a twinkling of an eye they are all gone. All the true Christians, the ones who had the true relationship with Him. The ones who heard His voice when he said "come up here."
Sobbing, I awaken from this nightmare and I pray.
Why did I have this terrible dream? I do not know. I truly believe I am a child of God and will be taken up when Christ returns. The pain I felt in this dream was so real. I do not want anyone to be left behind. Please exam your heart and believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and He is able to forgive you and cleanse you of all your sins.
Why not live forever in paradise? Why be left behind?
And you can pray...
"Lord, I am truly sorry for my sins
I ask you today to come into my heart and live within me.
I believe your son Jesus is the Christ and Savior of my soul.
He died for my sins and he loves and forgives me.
Now Heavenly Father I will proclaim you to the entire world. I will not be ashamed.
Save me today. This I ask in the name of Jesus.
Amen

This was a dream I had not too long ago. I have prayed and prayed for an answer to why God gave me this nightmare. The only answer I have gotten is that I am to share it with others in hopes that "they will not feel this despair that I felt and be left behind."
Come Lord Jesus.
