I now sense that a lot of time has passed. I look up to see Jesus bow His head. He has died. A tremendous earthquake now violently shakes the cross. I realize that if it were not for the ropes that have Jesus secured to the cross, He would be thrown from it. There is now a large crack in the rock surface at the base of the cross. A soldier walks over to Jesus and, with a spear, pierces upward through His right side just under His rib. Blood and water run down His legs and to the ground. I expect it to form into a puddle, but instead it disappears through the crack at the base of the cross. I ask the Herald where all His blood is going. He says, “That will be revealed for all to see,” and pointing back up to Jesus, he continues, “but in His time.” I look up at the Herald again and He says, “The wood is truth. Your Brother died so you may live. He gave His blood so all may always live. Please come. There is more to show you.”
I am now in a church service. A leader walks back and forth up front as he speaks of the love and grace that Jesus has for us. Then he says, “Let’s sing a song about this.” Words are displayed on a large screen. They begin to sing, “Jesus is love and Jesus is grace. Jesus is grace and Jesus is love. Raise your hands to Jesus. Ask for His grace. Thank you for Your grace. We love You Jesus.” They sing this over and over as the people wave their arms. The Herald says, “Come. I want to show you another worship service.”
We now stand in another sanctuary. The pastor finishes his sermon by reading from the Bible and a book titled, The Great Controversy. He then reads from a book titled, Testimonies to Ministers and says, “From this we know that we should come before the throne of God. I invite those who would like to dedicate your life to God for the first time to come forward. If you would like to rededicate your life to God, I invite you to come forward.” As many people come to the front of the church and kneel, the Herald says to look closely at them. They are carrying two books— the Bible and a book titled, Creeping Compromise. The Herald says, “Notice they want to begin anew. They have read, studied and seen the errors of their life and now want to recommit their lives to Jesus.” I turn to hear the pastor encourage others to come forward to accept the offering of the blood of Jesus and accept Him as their Savior. So many come forward that the pastor calls for all elders and pastors in the congregation to lay hands on these individuals as he prays.
