I had another dream, or in other words, I had a vision: In my vision, I saw an angel holding a very long scroll. It was so long that it fell to the floor and rolled out into the distance, and I couldn’t recall seeing the end of it.
My curiosity seems to always get the best of me, and so I began to inquire as to what the angel was doing. I was shown that the angels were walking amongst the ranks of men and that they were taking a great account for the Lord.
That every man or woman living on this earth, who understood the Lord’s Commandments, had their names written on the scroll. As I peered over to see what the angel was doing, I could see one name after another in this huge list that seemed to go on forever.
Next to each name, there were two checkboxes. One of the boxes said the word “YES” next to it, and the other checkbox had the word “NO” written next to it.
The answer that the angel was asking as to which box he was checking was simple. “Does this man (or woman) keep the commandments 100%?” And the answer was either “YES” or it was “NO.”
I found this very profound. No one “tries” to keep the commandments; we are either keeping them or we are not keeping them, hence the reason for the yes or no checkboxes. Nothing more and nothing less.
The question to ask ourselves is this: “Is the box next to my name checked with a yes or no?” The angels are “Silent Notes Taking”, working to fill their commission.
This was very eye-opening for me… I found myself asking this same question. Do I keep the commandments 100%?
Honestly, I wasn’t very good at 100%, I was more like 80% or, at my very best, 90%, and that was on my best days.
When you look at the two checkboxes, it is only obvious that I wasn’t going to cut it. My mind was reminded of Matthew 7:21. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
I was reminded also that when the night cometh, when no more work can be performed, then it would be too late. I was told specifically to…….. “Keep the commandments 100%, and to leave no room for doubt,” with the specific admonition to always “Go the extra mile in keeping the commandments, so there is NO ROOM FOR DOUBT.”
To this end, the vision closed, and that was the end.
