1.24. Before, Now, and After

Before, Now, and After

At this point in my vision, the angel of the Lord began to reveal things to me that I had often wondered about previously. He began to tell me about a great mystery. He said, "God has spoken, and I am to show you before, now, and after. The things I am going to show will give you great excitement. I am going to reveal to you what happens when a person is born again. I will show you how a person’s sins are washed away by the blood of the Lamb in the record rooms. "I am going to show you what happens when a born-again individual dies on earth and his soul comes to heaven. Come and see the glory of your God." We traveled from heaven at a fast rate of speed, and soon we were back over the earth. I could see the earth as in a vision, and the angel said to me, "Look and behold." As the angel allowed the vision to pass be fore me, I saw a beautiful little church in the country. Now, I don’t know where the church was located geographically, but it was a rural church, way out in the country. With the assistance of the angel of God, I was allowed to look into the building. I could see about thirty people seated in the pews. The pastor in the pulpit preached on this passage:

Seek the LORD while He may be found.
Call upon Him while He is near.
the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts; let him
return to the LORD, and He will have
mercy on him; and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon.
(Isaiah 55:6-7)

    As I gazed on this scene, I saw a mighty angel standing over the church. The guiding an gel beside me said, "A large angel is stationed at every church. This angel is in charge of all the other angels of that church."
