The Long Road
by Tyler Zach
This is a vision/daydream that I saw when I was singing with a group of college students at a recent worship event on campus.
I saw a long road with a carpet on it.
On each side of the road there were ropes guarding the people from coming onto the path. There were thousands and thousands of people on the outside of the ropes. Far off in the distance you could see that the road led to the Kingdom. The Kingdom had giant walls but looked very small because it was so far away. Out of the large gate opening of the Kingdom at the end of the road came a huge light. The glow of the light was blazing through it (coming from the inside out).
There were many people on the road too - but they were the followers of the King. Coming down the road was the King on a beautiful horse. He was dressed in white and his face was slightly visible. His face was like pure glass with light bulbs inside it. So His face radiated light brightly…but a constant smile could be still be seen. As His horse walked slowly down the path the crowd of followers moved out of the way. As the horse would approach two of the followers, they would each move to the left and to the right of the horse, bowing down in unison, shouting “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty…Who Was, Who Is, and Who Is to come.”
As the horse approached two more followers, they would do the same. This pattern continued - so the chant echoed over and over again as the King pressed on down the road. The large crowd of people on the outside of the ropes all fell down to their knees. They were all wearing brown garments. Together in unison they kept saying quietly, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” This chanting continued over and over again as the King pressed on down the road.
Just inside the containment ropes was a line of people with drums. This line extended all the way to the Kingdom. They drummed together as one, getting louder and louder as time went on. The chanting of the people was perfectly aligned to the sound of the drums.
The King made sure to look at each of the followers as they bowed down before Him chanting. He smiled at them for He was well pleased.

Neat!! Were the people on the outside of the ropes already Christians or were they those who longed to meet the Savior?
Your description of Jesus reminded me of one of my favorite passages, Revelation 1:9-18. He is the greatest Superhero ever!!
