THE BEAUTIFUL CITY
Christian, I want to tell you of a truth, that natural eyes have not seen what Christ has prepared for his people. In John 14:2-3, Jesus told us that He was going to heaven to prepare mansions for His people. But I want to draw it to your consciousness that Jesus has finished the preparation.
I was taken to the beautiful city which Jesus Christ our master and the head of the church has prepared for Christians. When we entered into the city, I felt like staying there without coming back to this world because the radiance and the magnificence of the beauty of the city are inexpressible and incomparable. I cannot express it and there isn't any city or place in the whole wide world that can be compared to it. Readers, all the things we are seeing here on earth, are only the shadow of God's glory. They are not the real glory of God. It is in the beautiful city that I saw the beauty-and-glory of God.
The gate through which we entered into the city was made of Gold. The surroundings of each building was beautified with flowers. The buildings were not of the same size. Some buildings were like bungalow and some were like duplex in appearance and names of people were written on top of the front of some of the buildings. When I looked at those buildings I realized that the materials that were used to build them were all made of gold. The roofing materials were all gold. The windows, the doors and the blocks were all gold and each of those materials had wonderful designs that made those buildings look wonderfully beautiful. The things that were different around those buildings were the flowers but the flowers were so much beautiful. While we were moving about I saw four angels putting a frame In which was written in bold letters somebody's name-to a particular building.
I didn't, however, keep silent on seeing those buildings. I started asking questions. When I saw those four angels putting somebody's name to a particular building, l asked Jesus the reason why some buildings had names on top of their frontage.
Then he told me, in response, that the names I saw on those buildings were the names of the owners of the buildings and the buildings that have no names on top of them have nobody who is owning them for the moment.
Having been clarified on that issue, I asked Jesus (while we were still moving about) the reason why some buildings were bigger than others and why some of the buildings were more beautiful than others and the told me that the size of the buildings represents the amount of work the people who have inherited them or who will inherit them did for God and the beauty of the surroundings (which
were made up of flowers) represents how long the person kept himself or herself holy for God. For holiness is the beauty of God.
As we were still moving around the streets of the city, I noticed that it was like people were not living in those buildings because every building was quiet like a place where nobody was living.
Then secondly, I asked Jesus the reason why every building was so quiet and he told me that nobody was living in them yet. The owners of the building will start living in them after the marriage supper of the bride (the saints) and the bridegroom (Jesus Christ).
And thirdly, I asked Jesus the reason why some Buildings were having names while other were without any name, and he told me that the names was seeing on those building were the names of people who have already arrived in heaven and their individual rewards have been determined and the buildings were one of their rewards. He also told me that those angels have no right to place the names of the people who are still in the world to any building until those people arrive in heaven. those whose names were being placed on some buildings were already having some rest and were waiting for the believers who are still here on earth to come home at the last trumpet sound.
While we were moving around, we came to a place where there was a particular building that was very big, that particular building was the most beautiful among all the buildings I saw in that city. It was like a palace. As a result of its appearance I thought it must have been the place where the throne of Jesus would be located but I didn't know I was wrong.
When we entered into that place, I saw some angelic beings moving around it, they were not flying around neither were they hovering over the entire palace, nor did they have wings with which they can fly. They looked more like human beings except that they don't have gender (they were neither males nor females) that is the reason referred to them as angelic beings while we were still in that place, Jesus made me to understand that the palace belonged to Abraham because he did great work for God and he (Abraham) was rewarded greatly.
Then from the palace of Abraham we continued moving around the city and as we were doing that I saw two buildings that looked very alike and one of them was having something that looked like fire above its roof. These two buildings were not far from each other and they were looking like though somebody was living in each of them because heard some sound (not noise) inside them.
Moreover Jesus made me to understand that the building that was having something that looked like fire above it belongs to Prophet Elijah while the other belonged to Moses.
Then we continued moving about the city. As we were moving, we came to a beautiful garden that was full of flowers and trees and it was very large.
The flowers were so much beautiful and there were some fruits on some of those trees. But we did not enter into that garden. I only took a very good sight of it, and after taking a very good look at the garden, we started going back to the room where we were with the twelve angels, you still remember?
When we entered into the room, I was asked to sit down on my seat, and I did. As I sat down, one of the angels asked me how I saw the places I was taken to and l told him that they were beautiful and none of the angels asked me any other question.
Having told the angel that, They asked me how I saw the places I was taken to that they were wonderfully beautiful, I thought that everything was over until an angel came into that place with two files and placed them in the front of Jesus and went and stayed at the corner of the place.
Then Jesus picked up one of the files and began to check its contents, and while He was going through the file, He came to a particular point and stopped. Then He turned and looked at me and frowned His face, which was an indication that something was wrong in that file. I did not, however, know that the file Jesus was holding was mine until He began to speak angrily to me about the contents of the file.
First of all, Jesus said to me, "son (in an _angry manner) what are you doing with the grace I have given you'? You are just playing with the grace I have given you and you are taking me for granted. Just look at your file you are not doing any serious work for me. I gave you the grace to set people free from satanic bondage and from the powers of darkness but you were not doing that. Your file is empty. All you were doing was to complain that you travel a lot to see people and pray for them. Since you have been traveling, how many times have you had motor accident? At this point I remained silent, because of a truth, I have been complaining that I travel a lot and ever since I have been traveling for the work of God I have never had a single accident on the way that made me see a doctor. Then Jesus continued His question, why are you associating with people that God is angry at? Why are you associating with people who called themselves children of God in words but in deed they are offenders and disobedient to God. If God is their father, where is His respect? Malachi 1:6.
Haven't you read in 2 Cor. 6:14-15 and! Cor.5:9-11 that you should not associate with such people ? Why do you always think about your destiny because you were not allowed finish up your university education ? Answer me now. Jesus ordered me. In the grave do people engage themselves in any activity of life? then with a lowly voice I said "no", Then why are you offending me (He asked me) by thinking about your education?
Those who graduated from the university and now are dead and you, who is still alive, who is better than the other? I kept quiet and didn't answer Him even a word.
Then Jesus stopped questioning me and continued checking my file and while He was doing that He came to a particular point and stopped, and he said to me, "Here is ANOTHER WARNING:" from hence forth don't ever fail to give my warning to anybody I will send you to, as you have been doing sometimes. Whenever I give you a message whether give you a warning message or peaceful message, don't ever fail to deliver it to the person no matter who he or she may be because that was the offence of disobedience you committed that would have landed you into hell fire if I had not intervened in your case. So be warned. Don't be in partnership with any organization, denomination or association that is not following the rules I have given you in order to save your own life for the time of my coming is very very short. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God on the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Eph. 5:6-7. I have less than thirty minutes to return to the earth. Always be prayerful and be praying for your fellow Christians so that they will escape the anger of God, Jesus instructed me.
Then Jesus said to me, "This file I opened was the one that was used to judge you, and as I have closed it, I will not open it again. Having said that, Jesus picked up the other file and said to me, This is a new file I have opened for you. If you fail me this time I will not spare you. Go back to the world, write down the things I showed you, and the things you heard from me including the warning I gave you. So that people in the world will read it to know that my coming is no longer in years or in months or in weeks or in days or in hours but in less than thirty minutes. Let anybody who has ears hear and that has mind understand that my time is very very short.
Finally, Jesus said to me, "you are given at most three months to publish all the things I showed you in a book and don't fail to do that because if you ever disappoint me, I will be very angry at you.
Then Jesus instructed the angel that brought those files to take me out of the entire environment and he took me out and brought me at the front of the first gate and I started coming back to this world.
However, I didn't know how it happened. I didn't know when l entered my house as I didn't know
when I left it. All | knew was that when I opened my eyes I saw myself lying on my bed with my New Living Translation of the Holy Bible by my side. Then I recollected that I was reading the Bible before I saw myself in heaven. And I could not remember the particular place I was reading in the Bible before the whole thing happened because by that time the Bible was closed and when I looked at the time it was 3:40 pm. I knew that I started reading my Bible around 9:15 am.
Having had all these revelations I was afraid to go out. I remained indoors till the next day and was thinking about what I saw.
