Chapter 23 - Page 327 - Field Of Flowers

   The voice ceased, but Jim continued seeing visions. He saw things in heaven that nobody had ever seen before. Everything he saw was beautiful and everlasting.

   Rhasha could hear the now-familiar humming sound. When it ceased, she could see a hole through the straw roof of the church. Four angels in the sky held a window into heaven open. Inside the opening was a bright white glow that reflected off the sides of the window. Rhasha could see something that looked like a large chair in the middle of a beautiful room, and she knew it was the throne of God. Sitting on the throne was the figure of a man, limned in a bright light different from any light Rhasha had ever seen, a light of pure white. Above the bright light was a rainbow of many colors that Rhasha didn't recognize. In front of the light, a multitude of white-robed people sang its praises.

   A lamb sat on the right-hand side of the bright light. A wooden sign hung over the lamb's head. Rhasha didn't know how to read, but she was made aware of what the sign said: This is Jesus, King of the Jews.

   The lamb began to transform. It stood on its hind legs and began to grow. Its back legs took on the shape of a man's legs; its front legs became arms with hands and fingers. A white robe draped its body, flowing to its ankles, and sandals encased human feet. Its face became a man's face. A bright light glowed behind the man, radiating from him in every direction. As the man descended from heaven toward the church, angels sang a heavenly song.

   Rhasha knew it was Jesus.

   As Jesus descended from heaven, things around Rhasha began to change. The straw-thatched church and all the people faded away. Everything became dark. When it grew light again, Rhasha had been moved. She now stood all alone in a field of colorful flowers that extended as far as she could see.
