You are in your car driving home. Thoughts wander to the game you want to see or meal you want to eat, when suddenly a sound unlike any you've ever heard fills the air.
A trumpet A choir?A choir of trumpets?
You don't know, but you want to know…
The sound is high above you.

So you pull over, get out of your car, and look up.
As you do…. you see you aren't the only curious one.

The roadside has become a parking lot.
Car Doors are open.
People are staring at the sky.
Shoppers are racing out of the grocery store.

The Little League baseball game across the street
has come to a halt. Players and parents are searching the clouds?..
And what they see,
and what you see, has never before
been seen.

As if the sky were a curtain, the drapes of the atmosphere part.
brilliant light spills
onto the earth.
There are no shadows.
None

From whence came the lightFrom whence came the lightbegins to tumble a river of color… begins to tumble a river of color…
Spiking crystals
of every hue ever seen of every hue ever seen
and a million more… and a million more…
never seen!never seen!

Riding on the flow is an endless fleet of angels. They pass through the curtains one myriad at a time, until they occupy every square inch of the sky.

Thousands of silvery wings rise
and fall in unison, and over the sound of the
trumpets, you can hear the cherubim and
seraphim chanting, Holy,
holy, holy.

The final flank of angels is followed by twenty-four silver-bearded
elders and a multitude of souls who join the angels in worship.

Presently the movement stops and the trumpets are
silent, leaving
only the triumphant triplet: Holy holy holy
Between each word is a pause.

With each word, a profound reverence. You hear your voice join in the chorus. You don't know whyyou say the words, but you know you must.
Suddenly, the heavens are quiet.

Jesus.
Through waves of light you see the silhouetted figure of Christ the King.

He is atop a great stallion, and the stallion is atop a billowing cloud.
He opens his mouth, and you are surrounded by his
declaration: I am the Alpha and the Omega.

and football games.
