I was carried away in the Spirit to a place upon a lofty mountain.

I saw and look! The heavens fled away like a scroll. I heard the sound like that of heavy thunder and a great waterfall. Lo and behold! A beast came forth proclaiming the destruction of the world and all of it’s inhabitants, and the sea.

It had three horns that appeared as one, and they were all of the purest gold, refined by fire for all eternity. It’s face was hidden by clouds of white smoke. A smell filled my nostrils. The smell of frankincense filled my senses.

As I saw this wondrous vision, I fell to the ground in fear, but was hoisted upright by two strong angels. My hands trembled and I fell faint, only to be awakened once more.

“For too long I have rebelled. I alone have been shown a glimpse of light.”

“Man” the beast said with a booming voice, “Stand upright for the LORD is with you. Do not be faint of heart, for the LORD your God is a mighty God. Take this message to those who will listen lest they should perish.”
