Then he begins pouring a ten pound bag of sugar into the tank. Now the driver takes bottles of fuel additives that look like vitamins and dumps these into the tank. He then walks around the car and gets in. He tries to start the car and it begins jerking and coughing and belching out smoke. It finally starts and as he drives off, it backfires and smokes. The Herald turns to me and says, “The creator of that car designed a most perfect running machine. The driver chose to place the worst fuel in the tank rather than the best.” I watch as the car drives in the direction of a garage where a mechanic can work on it. The Herald says that as soon as the mechanic would repair the car, the driver would place other things back into the car.
The Herald is still holding my hand as we return to the corridor. We sit down and he explains that it is now time that we “who are they” correct our diets. We have a great work ahead of us and the things that we have been fueling ourselves with will prohibit the Holy Spirit’s work. We are to stop eating any living thing which God created that flies, walks, or swims. We are to put away and not eat of the desserts of life and to use the example of the horse and car to show how we should fuel ourselves.
The Herald now tells me, “Come. I want to show you something that you have seen before.” We stand up and walk through the wall. I know instantly where we are. This is the dream I had of our first meal in heaven (“At the Table”). I stand looking only as an observer. The table is long and everyone reclines on their side. The things that I see are too wonderful to put into words. The Herald says that he wants me to notice the things that have been placed on the table. I see a variety of foods spread out. There are things that look like bananas, apples, oranges, pears, grapes, and cherries. There is an assortment of leaves of different colors. I see an array of flowers to be eaten as well as to enjoy their beauty. There are all kinds of nuts that have been shelled and different kinds of grains harvested from the heavenly fields.
