No More Delay
The man stood with his child on the Holy Mountain, watching the Sun of Righteousness display His splendour on the wall of the sky.
He yearned to understand the words that had summoned the claps of thunder, and it wasn't long before the wind responded, ushering in an eagle that flew elegantly through it, coming from the south, holding a scroll in its beak.
The eagle rested on the man's shoulder and handed him the scroll before taking its leave. The man quickly opened it, hungry to devour the words etched upon it:
"But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.” — Ezekiel 12:25 (NIV)
A beautiful smile lit up the man's face. He realised that time had changed its outfit. Now that it was here, it had adorned a wedding dress to announce the Judgement of the Lord.
He heard another eagle cry from the east, and a river of joy burst forth from him. The eagle landed on his shoulder and handed him another scroll, which he quickly opened:
"Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.’" — Ezekiel 12:28 (NIV)
When he had finished reading, he fixed his gaze on the north, excitedly expecting a third eagle. Its cry was not long in coming, and soon it appeared majestically before him, extending a scroll from its beak:
"The Lord said to me, 'You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.'” — Jeremiah 1:12 (NIV)
After receiving the third scroll, the man desired nothing more than the words from a fourth. Yet he knew not to expect another eagle, for there was no western gate through which one could pass.
But he had drunk from the cup of wisdom and understood: the words of the fourth scroll could only be received directly from the Spirit.
Thus he stood, eyes fixed on the Sun of Righteousness, beholding His glory. As he was immersed in His light, the wind returned once more.
"Taste My song, son of man. Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good."
And as the man tasted, the words of the fourth scroll revealed themselves to him:
"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows grace and favor and honor; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." — Psalms 84:11 (AMP)
Oh, what resounding joy shook the earth as the man danced gloriously!
"What is it, Abba? Give voice to the wind," the child said.
"Judgement has been passed. Our reward is exceedingly great. We are now being led to the banqueting house," the man responded.
As the words fell from his lips, the Spirit of God lifted from the earth, and the man and his child were carried up with Him, borne on the wings of glory.
As they ascended higher, wrapped in the brilliance of the Sun of Righteousness, the child lifted his voice, bursting with unspeakable joy:
"You are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End! You have accomplished it! Forever You are exalted!"
The heavens echoed his cry, and the gates of the Banqueting House swung wide, spilling out a river of life that welcomed them home.
