GET READY
March 18, 2008
By Ernie Knoll
In my dream, I am standing at the bottom of a very large cone-shaped valley. The valley floor is actually round and
covered with lush trees and flowers. There is such a variety of animals and birds. Everything is truly beautiful. The
walls of the valley go almost straight up and slope out more towards the top. Many trees, flowers and grass grow
out of the sides of the walls of the valley. The height of the walls is about 1,500 feet.
Looking up, I see dark blue sky above. My angel is standing next to me. He explains that there are 800 little black
birds that have been [1] trained to all fly at once. They are to fly out of the large, deep [2] valley. My angel looks at
me and smiles, and I know it is the Herald. He looks up and says, “Great Creator, we are ready to see.” Suddenly
all the birds begin to fly and look so excited. As they get higher and higher, they have such fervor to ascend to the
top. The Herald looks at me and smiles. He calls me by my heavenly name and asks, “May I have your hand?” I
hold out my left hand. He looks at me, at my left hand, and then back at me. He smiles a larger smile, calls me by
my heavenly name again and asks, [3] “May I have your right hand?”
I hold out my right hand and the two of us ascend. As we fly up, we are sometimes surrounded by all the birds. I
look at them and it is as if they still have an excitement about what they are doing. The Herald and I continue to
ascend and pass all the birds. After a little time we are at the very top of the large valley. We go to a large, white
observation deck which is built into the side of the wall at the top of the valley. There is a large white wall behind
the deck in the valley wall. We turn and look down into the vast valley below. We watch as the birds keep flying
and flying, some in a circle and others at different angles. Each is trying to get higher and higher to leave the valley.
