    A Temporary Throne – 3

    CHAPTER 3

    ROGER!

    THE LORD GOD MOST HIGH spoke my name (as if HE knew me personally)!

    Of course — (I had not really grasped the significance of this on earth) – Of course our CREATOR knows us by name. I recalled:

    Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

    I also recalled the words of John:

    Revelation 10:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,”

    I answered in my humblest confidence, “Here I am, LORD,”

    I remembered it from the first experience of the Prophet Samuel, when the Lord spoke to him on earth.

    1 Samuel 3:9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

    A Temporary Throne – 2

    CHAPTER 2

    As I lay upon the clouds of Heaven listening for a command of GOD, I became aware of an indescribable GLORY surrounding me and this PLACE where I found myself – or rather I might say: in this place where my soul lay.

    Unspeakable LIGHT! Unspeakable other sounds and even fragrances wafting into my awakening nostrils, as I became aware of a new life within me. It is near paradox to convey this revelation of the feeling to say that it was ‘Heavenly,’ or that this Place was ‘Paradise’ (perhaps identical to Eden) to the senses of my human soul.

    Ezekiel, David, the Apostle John, and others have attempted description of this Place beyond imagery of human experience. I will not. The GLORY: of GOD, and of the THRONE, and of Heaven so far exceed the glory of all of Creation known to man!

    Then, as I had been certain: GOD SPOKE!

    A Temporary Throne – 1

    CHAPTER 1

    I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN.
    I can’t really say how it happened, but I found myself in Heaven at the THRONE OF GOD.

    It wasn’t at all what I expected. In fact, (if thought or dream could even be spoken of as a fact of reality), I was certain that I had been called to the THRONE OF GOD for a reason NOT related to a Judgment of my life. For that, I was thankful.

    I had fallen to my face before GOD, clinging to the ground (or whatever it was), as though I were dead. In fact, (again, if the retold image of thought or dream can even be spoken), I lay on the ground dead – just like a corpse in a casket – except face DOWN.

    I WAS DEAD… or had been… but here I lay at the foot of the THRONE OF GOD. And before the THRONE, I knew that I was ALIVE – here on the ground (or clouds, or whatever it was).

    I lay there awaiting the VOICE OF GOD; for I was certain that I had been summoned to appear before the THRONE. I had no thought when GOD might speak; but as I lay there like a corpse not yet raised to life again, I listened.
