Joel Akin

Come with me into this box. It will only take a moment and then you too will see...darkness. That’s right, darkness. Well, you see, I forgot to install the lights when I found this box. I usually carry a flashlight or the Light of Hope and sometimes its hard to find the switch. And even when you find the switch its hard to find the truth. Now most don’t see Truth as the light but there is a scripture that says the truth will set you free. And we often forget that darkness binds us and darkness covers us and darkness shadows our steps towards Hope. But once we have Hope Truth begins to shine. For Truth is really like a beautiful star that rises up to lighten our day. Now not all of us like Truth and some would prefer to remain in darkness. Perhaps like a blind man who prefers darkness because its comfortable to him. He can’t imagine light because with it comes responsibility.

And in a way that is the purpose of this article. I wanted to speak of a box for we earthlings live in a box. Now imagine that we looked up at night and we saw stars. We would think “Oh how marvelous those stars are” and we would stare at those pinpricks of light. But if some kind person poked a few airholes in the box, why lets be honest. The purpose for the holes wasn’t so much the light but the air so we could breath a little better. But lets assume that the stars we see are not really the light we see. And if the stars are the reflection or the pinpricks of light in the reality of time then time is but a box. And the box only reveals to us one thing. That we are seeing stars that look like stars and act like stars and even sound like stars. But in reality we are seeing light through a dark box pin pricked with holes. And that light? Why that light is access points to a greater reality.

So if you were God and you wanted to wake people up on earth how would you do it. Would you tap the box? Well, as God taught me the best way to know that we are in a box is to open the box up. Once you do that its a process of coming awake. Your spiritman begins to wake simply because God speaks soothingly “Joel, wake up...” And so it is with you and this article. We are in a great box called Time and Time keeps the lid on so that all we see is darkness. Darkness covers us but a few smart people put a different type of lid on. Though its like seeing through a dark window we can see by faith that which God desires us to see. But you have to be very careful because otherwise you will find it difficult to see the Truth. And Truth is one of those who helps us to see.

Now what does all this mean? If the stars are but pin holes into the reality outside Time then how can we ever reach that place? After all if I wanted to speak to God I would listen carefully but God said Truth would set us free. That means that Truth is the one who helps unveil the box and then the outside Time is revealed once and for all.

To me it would be like being on stage and you are ready to be revealed and you’ve been preparing for this moment for years. Your audience is also in darkness and they don’t know what’s coming. Some of them have prepared for it and some of them have members and friends and families on stage who will be taking part in the revealing moments of the show. You see we want to be there to be a witness, a great host of witnesses to the unveiling that is coming. We want to be part of the show and we want to see it so we can say that we were there.

God is doing this for us. We’ve been in darkness and we’ve been part of the Time Box that we can’t get out of. But he set Truth in place so that when the time is right she can be there to help reveal, once and for all, that there is a curtain. And that curtain is heaven and heaven will be unrolled. And for the first time in history we shall see the truth. And truth will show us once and for all what is truly there.

But, here is a clue. Look for the day of darkness when the heavens are burnt up followed by a dragon sweeping away the debris. Then look for a great light as the light of heaven is revealed for the first time. For the wall of separation between church and government will be removed. And we shall see the heavens in all their glory. Its going to be a wondrous tale and a wonderfully romantic story. You won’t want to miss it and I definitely want to be there to see it all.
