YOUR ASCENT AT THE SOUND OF THE GREAT TRUMPET
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Yet another parable to the natural mind yet truth to the hearing ear and seeing eye. Two similar verses that reveal an important event that must occur in the life of everyone who has tasted of life in the flesh.
Life as a mortal man is laden with heavy burdens, horrors, anxiety, and fear. A man finds himself in a world that is constantly disintegrating before his own eyes and drowns in an unending pit of despair as he realizes that all attempts find true purpose and stability is but an illusion.
The quest for protection, power, a sense of belonging, love and appreciation leads men to seek for fame, material, intellectual, philosophical, and religious riches, but they all seem to fail, and their effects fade away with time. Even the treasured relics of the Israelites of old that men look unto as God, and the great wealth of the likes of Solomon with all his wisdom all disappear with time and become a hear say thing.
Man keeps seeking and never seems to find; thus, a sense of dissatisfaction overwhelms him. He continually faints with fear of the unknown, as he seeks to survive and maintain his existence. With this void in man, he finds his soul in a pit of unending lust and destruction.
This is the reality of a man lost in his world of illusions. He dwells in the lower parts of the earth where he senses himself to be infinitely separated from God; his is the abyss where men grope in darkness and continually perish. This trend continues until his attention is drawn to the vision of the son of God in heaven.
The end of the world or better said the end of all spiritual ignorance comes when man suddenly hears the great trumpet. Great, because it is God’s own voice relayed to man through his angels (messengers). Great, because it is ascribed to God, this is the last and only loud trumpet that provokes an awakening in men who are deep asleep. It opens their eyes and ears to see the only begotten of God.
On hearing this all-important voice from above, you must leave all things in the realm of the dead, wash your sleepy eyes, be still, and behold the glory of the only begotten of God. Learn from the noble Zacchaeus who abandons his pomp and prestige before men to climb a tree to behold the Only Begotten of God. Also learn from the elderly woman who dedicated her life in fasting and prayer just to wait and behold the only begotten of God, after which she would say her it was time to depart this earth had come for she had seen the only thing that mattered.
The voice of the trumpet declares, “I AM” the one true life that is embedded in the begotten. In the begotten of God, the fullness of the Godhead is eternally invested; this is the Almighty God, the beginning, and the end of all things. You hear this is my son in whom “I AM” well pleased because I and the son are one thing.
As you contemplate the glory of the only begotten of God in heaven, you remember the divine heights from where you have fallen into the lowly mortal life of man. You recognize your true self in the mirror image you see in heaven and mourn; you repent of this great falling away from your true celestial glorious self before time.
You are reminded of your true divine nature and origin and thus return to the same. You revert to your first works in God and urgently conform yourself to the nature of the Son in heaven. In your awakening you realize I Am He, the one from above, whose genealogy is not found among men.
Your awakening and conformation to the image of the Son, lifts you up from the depths where you were perishing in the ignorance of the terrestrial life you had become acquainted with. You are lifted into the highest heavens far above all principalities and powers of this dark age where you can reign once more in glory and power of God.
There is an ascension, a lifting and catching up from the dead life of personal sense to the unity of the Spirit; One Lord, One Spirit, One life. The whirlwind…the Spirit, is blowing around the four corners of the earth, lifting to up from the earth. I who slept in the dust must be lifted up into the divine I in heaven. In this reality the world is no more, and as He lives, so do I live forever.
With great Joy, I will stand still and never lose sight of this great spectacle in heaven. I will zealously behold the image of the Son, and awake into this reality, this is my portion forever.
Blessings
