    A Temporary Throne – 13

    CHAPTER 13

    The perspective of God from the THRONE of Heaven is like no other! I cannot reveal what only God does see from this PLACE. I may reveal that the sin of the world is uncovered and naked to the eyes of the ALL-KNOWING GOD OF HEAVEN. Every sin. All sins. Fully revealed. From the THRONE of Heaven, the LORD showed me what THE LORD DOES SEE. I wanted to get up, but could not. I wanted to look away, but could not. I wanted to do something about it, but could not.

    I WILL SHOW YOU AND YOU WILL JUDGE, said THE LORD.

    And a great cloud of the GLORY OF THE LORD surrounded the PLACE of the THRONE OF HEAVEN. Then I could no longer see the sin of the world below. (For that, I was thankful.) As I remained unable to rise from the THRONE, THE LORD said to me:

    I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME.

    And the cloud surrounding the GLORY OF THE LORD brought us into an earth-like place of pristine beauty.

    And the LORD said to me: JUDGE RIGHTLY, SON OF MAN: SHOULD I PLANT A TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS PLACE? IT IS THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE.

    A Temporary Throne – 12

    CHAPTER 12

    The LORD then rose from His THRONE and approached me.

    I remained where I stood, bowing my head in respect, smiling full of joy and trembling in awe, yet not fear – I cannot explain it.

    The LORD spoke gently to me, FACE-to-face:

    ROGER, HOW WOULD YOU HAVE ME JUDGE?

    “LORD, I do not know.”

    I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW.

    And with this Command of God, once more I was taken up, as when I was picked up and set on my feet in this place.  I could not see or sense what being had such power over me, yet I was raised into the clouds toward the THRONE OF GOD.

    The Power of the unseen spirits now lifting me lowered my form as my knees were yet held lifted. Then gently (even reverently), they settled my awestruck body onto the THRONE OF GOD!

    “YOU BE THE JUDGE,” said the LORD to me.

    JUDGE NOW RIGHTLY FROM THE THRONE OF HEAVEN.

    A Temporary Throne – 11

     CHAPTER 11

    DO YOU LOVE THESE MORE THAN ME?

    I knew the answer…

    YOUR SIN IS COVERED BY MY SACRIFICE. YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS MY OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

    “Thank You LORD!” I thought from my heart; yet surly the LORD heard my thoughts, as I was now aware that the LORD had heard my prayers.

    YET SIN CANNOT BE UNPUNISHED.

    Once again, in my thoughts (as I did not speak, but knew the LORD did hear):

    “My sin? No. Her sin! … And his sins… and his and hers…”

    As I thought, their faces came clearly to my mind. (The Lord would not have me reveal these to you by name.)

    THEIR SINS AND WICKEDNESS REMAIN NAKED BEFORE ME.

    Yes… For none had come to conviction or repentance for their separation from God. None would hear of Jesus Christ and the cross as reason to change their day to day lives. None would have anything to do with church or Christians or talk of righteousness through the Blood of Christ.

    All, though they are beloved family members, live for the day, while denying the Day of their Judgment.  It is true of dear of dear friends as well. These remain unbelievers by choice – rebellion against God and more so against Jesus Christ.

    Yes, I am a sinner, a terrible sinner; yet I lay my filthy sin before Christ’s cross.

    I need His love now more than ever. I need Christ’s love for ever.

    GOD SMILED, HIS EYES PIERCING ME WITH LOVE.
