Rapture 22
A dream world. A small world.

Lets try to inspire you for a moment. Suppose the rapture is taking place and you are waiting with hope. You are wondering if the rapture is happening or if it is a joke. You look to the heaven and to earth for anything unusual. In the process of looking you find that not one thing is happening. All is as usual. You pray and God says "In an hour you think not" the rapture will come.
You wonder "What does that mean. Am I sleeping? Am I awake and busy? Am I under authority? Am I not paying attention? In reality the hour you think not is meant to be the hour you think not or the hour of time when all things have been fulfilled.
What is left to fulfill is the finish of all things. So the hour of finishing all things is best described as the hour you think not. To explain that means God has to find time to explain it so think of it as the hour when he stops thinking. The hour when he is so wore out he just sits back and waits for someone to come and scrub his back. Or shoe his feet. Or something that is unusual. Because God said "I am come to finish all things." And to finish all things can be thought of in multiple ways. One is to polish all things. Like your truck which is rusted, or your heart which is burned or your mind which is exhausted. Those things are to be finished but God isn't going to let those things stop Him from dealing with the finish of his work.
To finish his work will require a lot of prayer. It will require a lot of people. To finish his work will require a lot of help. But there was no one there to fight against sin or Sin so God set up a man on earth for two years and said "You are in charge while I go away and while I finish the work out here in the universe."
Now that sounds so crazy that we on earth would say "Who in the world but Christ has that authority to be in charge?" The answer is I was. I knew it but like you I thought it was a joke because I did the same ole, same ole every day. I didn't stop praying and I started writing. I got better at writing in some ways but it was a war. I got stronger at praying but didn't seem to have any impact. So if you think I got something from it then you have another thing coming. Well, so I thought. It turns out God wanted time to finish something He had been working on. A Sampo.
Now I know it is based on the poem by the Finns but most of us think of it as a world tree. It is part of the history of men from ancient time and it is based on the La, which is the history of women of ancient time. It was forgotten by us except in epic and in myth. So that tells you what happens to most knowledge. It was a project that lasted us 5,000 years of our history so the material we threw out was the history of our people who were men as were we. They just didn't have the same concept of life as we did. They were spirit and we were flesh. And that is the only difference. Which means there were basically no differences.
Well, this is knowledge and it is specific. It is meant to encourage us because the Sampo is the story I am meant to write. Not today but with the Ozone Hole hits my 100 zone. That is when it is meant to be finished. That could be in another month or so.
So God finished the Sampo about an hour ago. He built it up in his spare time, which was rare, and sent it to earth a few hours ago to be planted in our soil. It can't be destroyed by us but it will be run by those who prove themselves worthy of it.
It is perhaps the most amazing project because it is a fulfillment of all things that man needs for his happiness. It isn't just of measure or pleasure but of treasure and of wishes and dreams and hope and people who are not thought of as we think of reality. It isn't going to be scary but it will be fun. It will be unusual and it will be so unusual no child will not want to visit one of hundreds of places including Its a Small World. For it will be on a small planet which will take a day to run through. It will be based on the very best of worlds and it will be considered one of the most beautiful of worlds. It will be a place where men of different nations can gather to gab and to have fun by playing things with games. From slow to fast. For it will have a mountain to climb from easy to very, difficult to very extreme to just short of impossible for the really tough crowd. God watched those with a binocular because they don't want help. If they fall they fall into a lake which is the only consolation. It would be a ten thousand foot fall so gravity will alter the trajectory so they can fall on land if they fall perfectly. For those who want the thrill of death they can climb on earth.
On this world kids will climb mountains and gravity won't let them fall. It will be guided by giant robots and there will be one guide, a real person, for each visitor to some areas. For in those places they will tell their story of life. And they will tell what they went through to get there. From death to life. It won't be a sermon like you are used to. It will be a true life story because they will take you into their world and show you what it was like. When you are ready for it. That is because some of us don't want to see suffering except in movies. And even there we hope it isn't too real.
There are other surprises coming. Some will seem like jokes until you go there and find out its real. So don't be surprised when the door opens and out comes a character from your dreams.
And if some sounds strange there won't be a world of western gunslingers. Men like it but that is earth and their jurisdiction. It will be calm and relatively quiet. That is unless you like country music where some might dance a storm up. A real one on small world. It will be the only place where you can dance a storm up. Best storm gets to dance with the Kat. She'll be there and look like Shawnia Twain.
Well, that is a dream world. A small world. A little world where I live. That is what my world is like. A small world. A world where I'll get to climb mountains and explore things and become part of the mountain of the Lord. That is if I'm willing to accept it. For it is what God was making as part of the Sampo. A world that is small where others can come and where God can visit and his family can come as well. For there is a world where God is always welcome. Even if Earth thought of it Joel, that's me, wanted a small world based on my favorite ride at Disneyland. Where there were cultures and singing and people from all the best of the nations. Where people live and remember "That is the way it was." Not just in puppets but in people who want it to be real.
For it isn't just of our world. It will have people of other worlds who will be there. And you can go and watch and see what kind of things they do. Its all open. Windows will be open for people to pop over to say hi. No one will keep the kitchen private and they'll have things you can buy from the corner stores. It will be a world to model things by. For there will be people who will come and weep because it was the way things used to be. And it will be a dream that God saw and wanted but didn't know how to bring it to earth.
So He said "If a man can bear Sin I will bear earth." That simply means in an hour you think not the Son of Man will come. For those things are what God wants. He knows we don't want him to own earth. We want it as our own. But he wants the leaders to come and see what he has done. Even those who were evil. For he will take sin and cast it off. For no one knew what sin did to men. And he will tell them it is an alien creature and not of men. If they want to know what it does they can see it in action. For it will be on the small world for a long time as the dancing creature of the lake. The one we don't recommend you fall into.
The only thing about this is that I still weep. I still cry. Because I bore Sin but the odds of anyone reading this right now are slim. I can write it and know it is true. I can write it and tell you I don't deserve Gods love.
Yet I know some of that really is Sin and his evil. He is a spirit that came up from men a long time ago as an alien device. It was like a stone found in the earth. It was a stone that he wore next to his heart. It tore him apart because he thought it was his own heart. It wasn't him but a device based on alien physiology. A device that became evil in itself. It took men down to the grave and it split them into two parts., One was of men and one was of alien. We were aliens and strangers here. Earth really was the original home of this alien. It will still be there for us. It will be the place I own land because I just have a hankering to dig holes and to walk and to search. I am a searcher and I don't mind if someone walks with me. Just remember to bring enough to drink just in case.
I know this is strange. It doesn't sound like the God or the Bible you know. There he sounds mysterious or stiff or angry. Yet if we knew what Sin was doing to his earth and his footstool you would remind yourself God called it his footstool. Some today are made of plastic but earth was the wooden part. The tree part. The place where God would walk in the forest and would sit and contemplate things. And would remind us that we were just men. He knows one man who will understand him better then most. That would be me because I bore Sin. I didn't want to but Sin gave me no choice. I hated it and I chafed at it but God sought a man like me to help him. Because believe it or not Sin adjusts to the mind it deals with and I had to bear that part for a long time. It was able to adjust to me in only a few years. So please remember me in your prayers if you should happen to see this. For I grew a lot and I learned a lot and I pray a lot still. And I may be harder on the outside but inside I'm weeping. And I will just end with that.
