Heaven's gateway


The gateway into heaven is not forged from gold or pearls; 
It’s a trans-dimensional portal into another world. 
Transition from this finite time into that eternal realm 
is a sudden, one-way journey from which there’s no return. 

Transition is instantaneous; there’s no time to acclimatise 
as you watch your world transforming before your open eyes 
to colours unimaginable, beyond earthly comprehension, 
and time will cease to flow, inside that eternal dimension.

The laws of science and the laws of man will fade into oblivion, 
as souls fly to their destination in the beautiful Elysium. 
There, standing at the centre, above a sea of glass, 
is the throne room of the Ancient One, the future and the past

The Ancient of all Days, the Almighty God of old 
who reigns in glorious power in that City made of gold. 
Though anyone may enter, if they love the Risen One 
the gateway into heaven cannot welcome everyone.

Outside the walls are those who gamble with a loaded dice. 
The Redeemed are those whose trust lays in His final sacrifice. 
The Lamb of God will separate His sheep from the goats of sin 
on that final reckoning day, when the souls are gathered in.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matt 7:13-14)
