We walk to the next sanctuary and I find there are very few people inside. The few that are there are sitting quietly
and listening intently. The pastor is speaking of preparing for the coming of Jesus. He talks from the heart. I look to
my angel and I smile. He puts his left hand on my right shoulder and says, “Look closely at the pastor.” As I look I
notice that a very bright light is shining down on him from heaven. I notice what looks like a flame is burning on top
of his head. I see many angels carrying books. They are instructing him what to say.
We leave this sanctuary and return to the foyer. We walk past many other sanctuaries, the vending machines, and
the many carts of tea, milk, coffee, bagels and pastry. We walk out of this massive church building. The Herald looks
at me and asks, “May I have your hand?” I hold up my right hand to him and he takes a firm hold. We ascend into the
air about a hundred feet. We turn, and for the first time I see the entire front of this massive church. I notice the large
pillars that support the roof. Just below the roof is a large sign, deeply engraved with the words
“SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.”
He looks at me and says, “Hold strong to your faith.” As I watch, the church suddenly starts shaking left and right,
forward and backward. The whole church begins twisting from side to side. I watch as many people are thrown from
the windows. Many come running out and down the steps. I see the vending machines and pastry carts tumble out
and down the steps. I see many, many people falling and rolling down the steps. I watch as this large building shakes.
{2} I expect to see it crumble to the ground. {3} I squeeze my angels hand as I am afraid of what is going to happen to
my church. He looks at me and says, “Hold tight to your faith.” As suddenly as it began, the shaking stops. I look and
see that the many large pillars are still intact. We descend back to the ground and stand on the top step. I notice there
is no damage to the steps. I turn and see many people now walking up the steps of the church. Their appearance is
modest and many are singing an inspirational hymn. I notice all have laid self aside and are focused on Jesus. All
worldly thoughts are put away. I watch as they enter the foyer. We walk into the foyer and notice that some are
quietly whispering and there is a sense of reverence throughout the long foyer.
