seen before. The angel explained that
my house was made from the works
I had done on Earth after I received
Jesus. ‘Good works like kindnesses,
love given to others, generosity, and
helps -- all given for the right reasons
and motivations – are represented as
gold, silver, or precious jewels all of
which will not burn. On the other
hand, the articles made of wood, hay
or stubble represent wrong motivation,
and attitudes, evil works and even
good works done for wrong reasons.
These will burn up causing you loss,
but you remain a child of God here
in heaven. Are you ready?’ He asked.
When he pointed at the building, it
was enveloped in flames. After a very
short time, I could see that some of
the structure was destroyed, but much
of it still stood. I felt strangely joyful,
not sorry for the things that were
burned, and also clean as one feels
right after a bath. I know that all of
us had a similar experience.”
Janet, who had been listening intently
and nodding with each one of the
speakers, now almost shouted. “After
the fires died out, we could see that
there were crowns and jewels sparkling
in the ashes. The angel told me they
were mine; I should pick them up
and wear them. They were the most
beautiful things I had ever seen. I put
one of the crowns on my head telling
him that I felt like a princess, realizing
that as a child of the king, I was – I
am a princess! Then he handed me an
elegantly engraved invitation to the
coronation of the Crown Prince of
the Kingdom of Heaven. The most
thrilling part of the last three years
to me was the coronation of Jesus
as King over all the Earth! Then he
took my arm and escorted me to the
temple in heaven. The doors of the
sanctuary were open and I could see
the Ark of the Covenant glowing in
the sanctuary. Then we were again
standing before the glorious throne
of God with a great multitude of
people, all wearing crowns as beautiful
as mine. Just as I was admiring them,
I heard a chorus of trumpets from
behind. When I turned to look,
everyone was kneeling on the floor
and the Messiah was striding toward
the throne. He was so beautiful with
his white gown, caught up with a gold
braided belt and shoulder epaulettes
on the purple robe which flowed
behind him for what seemed like a
mile. I quickly fell on my face before
he reached me. When Jesus reached
the throne, he knelt before the Father
God, who stood up and spoke. He
said the same thing he had said when
Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist,
‘This is my beloved son in whom I
am well pleased.’ Then he said, ‘The
kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of Christ, and he will
reign forever and ever.’ With that
he placed the most glorious crown
of all on the head of the king of the
whole Earth. The Father God guided
his son to the throne on his right
side, but before he sat down Jesus
turned to address the people who
were kneeling before him. ‘I confer
on you a kingdom also as my father
has conferred on me. You will rule and
judge in my kingdom just as you were
promised. The twelve who followed
me when I was on Earth will sit on
thrones and judge the twelve tribes
of Israel.’ Spreading his arms wide to
encompass all, he said, ‘You will all
work with me as judges, governors,
priests, and authorities in one of the
nations on Earth.’ Then all fell to their
knees again and worshipped him with
such joy and praise we never heard
on Earth. Then the people began
taking off their crowns and placing
them at his feet. It was so good to
have something of great worth to
