Revelation As A Fire (my Analogy Of The Coming Events) by Dodgur(m): 8:33pm On Feb 01, 2010
I will try and keep this short and sweet; we will see how I do.

I awoke this morning and went downstairs where I found the fire my father had left smoldering; while tending to the flame I found revelation.  There was only one log left and it had but one small flame on it, below it was a core of small embers mostly covered by ash or outed by the cold.  I took up a stick I keep by the fireplace and poked it; the embers began to glow but little more.  I prodded at the log and stirred the coals and they slowly started to take life, but not as strongly as I wanted them too.  Then I took the stick in my hand and I beat the smoldering log, the white ash atop it fell off and exposed the good wood beneath.  Small embers from the log fell and joined those below the log helping to fuel the flame and while I struck the log the small flame took light and began to burn strongly.  The fire enveloped the log and was soon doing its job warming the house once again.  It is possible to stoke a smoldering fire into a roaring blaze with nothing more than I strong stick and a few strikes.  That’s when I realized the analogy, the end times are often looked upon with fear.  A time where God’s wrath is poured out on the land in such magnitude that the saints in heaven will plead with him and ask when it will end.  Why would a loving God do such a thing?  We are the fire.  The flame of Christianity has been smoldering, no longer doing its job to the potential that it has.  During the time the Bible speaks of in revelation the fire is almost out completely and God will pick up his Holy stick and strike at the world.  The ash, those who are dead to God will be cast off and given to the winds.  The embers that fall to the coals and strengthen the blaze, the Christians who are called up through rapture or death in this time.  And the log which takes flame, the church which will form during this time.  This is not a time that Christians should fear, this is the last attempt of a loving God to show the world himself and give light to those who would have him.  A way to save as many souls as he can, souls who would have either smoldered into ash dead to God or  have simply been left to never catch flame due to the world not being as it should. 

This is my take I would like to know what you think.

I didnt realise the thread require discussion or contribution , I was rather enjoying the power of his /her writing like a sweet novel. I was waiting for continuation of the storyline when it suddenly ended!.
Maybe you should make the topic to be discussed clearer o.

I apologize, I was more or less saying what I had thought of and was wondering if people agreed or disagreed with me and if so what they thought I had gotten wrong. But thank you for the complement all the same.
