We proceed to another aisle and notice all the Spirit of Prophecy books. The Herald looks at me and says, “Look
closely.” These books are dusty and covered with a plastic wrap that is old and yellowed. He picks up a book, blows
off the dust and wipes off the cobwebs. He then turns it around for me to see. The cover says The Great Controversy.
Suddenly an employee walks up and asks “Can I help you?!” It is not in a voice of wanting to assist us but as if to say,
What do you think you are doing?! My angel looks at the employee and responds, “Yes, do you have Creeping
Compromise?” The employee answers, “No, but we have some really great novels. It is all ‘the rage.’“ The Herald
says, “We would like to know if you have the book called Creeping Compromise by Joe Crews.” The employee looks
frustrated. He replies, “Come and let’s go see if there are any in the “no one cares” area of the loading dock. We
follow him back there and he asks the dock person if he has seen any Creeping Compromise. The dock person
responds that they have not had that book in a long time. The manager walks up and asks the employee what he is
looking for. When he discovers what it is, he tells us “That book is not what people are interested in. We have some
really great hot novels just off the presses. Would you like to see them?” The Herald answers, “No, I have seen
enough.” He looks at me and says, “We will leave for now.”
We go outside and begin walking down a sidewalk. We walk a very short way and stop. My angel puts his right hand
on my shoulder and says, “God watches all.” He tells me to watch. I see a man I do not know but sense that he is a
Seventh-day Adventist and well-grounded in the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. He walks past and goes into the ABC.
Moments later all the employees leave the ABC with their personal belongings. As the manager walks out and passes
us, I ask him what happened. He replies, “We were all told our services were no longer needed.”
The Herald now tells me to look up. The sky rolls back, angels descend and their wings fold and fold and fold again.
Their appearance now changes into human form. My angel and I quickly follow the small group back into the ABC.
I watch as the SDA man instructs the “angel employees” to place empty boxes onto hand trucks and put certain
books into the boxes.
