If An Angel Came Down

 By Ben G.


Author's note: I have written a short fictional account of what an Angel of God may possibly want to tell us if they were permitted to come down to give us a short message... Enjoy!
 
 

To my human brethren,

 

Fear not, for I come from a place far, far away; a bright place up through the northern expanse of blackness, from the very canopy of the universe. In a single moment I have travelled an infinite number of light years that cannot be counted, passing galaxies as if they were mere specks of nothing but a fleeting twinkle as my presence flashed past them at speeds only God Himself can accurately clock. How the stars came and went as swiftly as raindrops meeting the ground. I come to you from a timeless Kingdom, a sinless world created in a single breath of life from the One who made us all. That is where I am from; a precise location known only to those whom God has taught the divine way, where the light of beautiful suns dare not run to - for they cannot compete with the source of Heaven's own light. They hide their faces as they long to be as bright and could never match the splendor in their whole massive lifespan. I have left Heaven for only a moment, but as I did, you should keep in mind; in my descent, I passed down through an extremely vicious and violent war waging above Earth on your very behalf between my kind and the fallen once like myself. It is important you remember this war has been going on a very long time and there is very little rest nowadays, as it escalates in intensity every single day, and time in between battles is very short lived. I was stopped briefly, but was cleared a way to come here to give you this message. There is very little rest between fighting in this age. But behold, I bring you news of good hope, yet also news of warning to others!

 

Brothers and sisters who have opened the free gift of life given to you by the One I serve, Heaven sings all your names! I know this, because I sang yours. I have come to tell you of a place you'll soon be called and welcomed into... a place where there are houses… mansions built for all of you… structures beyond what any earthly architect could only dream of. I know, because I helped build yours. I've seen the massive golden chamber of gifts in God’s Holy temple you have all acquired. I’ve seen your rewards. I know this because I have helped write your names on them like presents under a Christmas tree. How excited Heaven is by the faith, love, and work you do to protect and expand these gifts you have earned during your time on this beautiful planet the King has made for you with His own loving hands. I have seen the books of your works and behold, I have seen the storehouse of your crowns! They pile up to the highest ceiling, high and wide, awaiting their rightful wearers. I know this because I have helped craft and shape their perfect sizes. Their unique and flawless craftsmanship can be topped by none, for God has directed us the measurements and design of such objects He intended for you. Their jewels immovable... unbreakable... untainted… immaculate and glorious as the One who cut and shaped them for you. I have seen the crown of righteousness. I have held the incorruptible crown in my hands. I know the crown of life. I have helped prepare crowns of rejoicing. I know the song the crowns of glory will sing as they meet the floor before His feet. They are all gifts for you as they are gifts for the Christ and Savior who deserves them wholly.

 

Furthermore, I have seen the massive new golden city of Jerusalem which has not yet been opened to anyone. Not even us. That surprise is for you! The grand opening shall not happen until the appointed time. Oh how even I, who’s very home is Heaven itself... who has touched the scars of Yeshua, cannot wait to see what's inside! Oh to walk the streets... to see the beautiful sparkling river flowing elegantly like liquid diamonds. Oh to marvel at His handiwork! Are you ready for this? We have prepared the horse and carriages that will sweep you through the streets upon your grand arrival for His day of triumph and celebration! Your fantastic entrance down the magnificent golden streets aligned with all of my brothers... a multitude that vastly outnumber those of men and women ever born and ever will be born. They're all so excited and long to meet you. They desire to show you around and get you acquainted to your new homes and to help teach your rulership roles with King Jesus. We dream of the pleasure to teach you the etiquette and form on how to acknowledge and greet a Heavenly King when He knocks on your door for His routine visit because He couldn't stay away any longer and simply had to see you again because a million times was not enough. He jokes in hoping you'll never grow tired of Him because He'll never want to leave you alone! Find in the Lord good humor! Find in Him love! Find in Him all the things you'll ever need, and more. Behold, words cannot be written here of the things that wait beyond the clouds for those who believe in Him who would rescue mankind from his fallen nature. I tell you this because it is good and true.

 

I must go to help set and prepare the table you will soon eat from at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I know, because I have been appointed one of the chief chefs, and trust me; there is a lot of food to prepare! You love fantastic food and fine wine? Just wait until you partake from God's table... Before I go, remember to be not proud, but be humbleHe asks for your patience and understanding when times are hard, and to not give up hope and prayer and in helping those who might need it and to love each other. Be there for the weary. Be giving and you shall receive it back in abundance. Forget not the weak and the poor. Despair also not, for your redemption draws nigh… closer than ever, so keep looking up! 

 

Most of you know there is a great storm on the horizon and He has appointed me to remind His human family to prepare and keep looking up because He always keeps His promises! Behold, I tell you, the vials are full and ready to be poured upon the Earth for the divine judgements soon to follow the departure of His bride. But remember, for those who know Jesus Christ, fear not, for He will deliver you from this catastrophe and provide you a great tower of solace in the Heavens to be safe from harm. Never give up. Never stop waiting. My time with you is short, but we will meet again… for the King comes!

 

 Love always,

The Angel of the Lord
