Can you see this vision of His coming?

Thousands upon thousands in tents and campers and make-do shelters littering the hills of Israel, across the Jordan and into the wilderness. They are gathered from pilgrimages out of all the nations, even at the displeasure and threats of world rulers. They feel a doorway is about to open and they excitedly expect the Messiah. They understand and speak of all mystery in awe, for all has been restored in truth. A book has been open, and the world mocks what is coming. Then there is One, He walks secretly through their midst, unbeknownst to all, but beloved all who are drawn. He comes into the world through common means, by the matrix of a woman, even as a thief sneaking into the House of Israel. The people whisper, they can feel Him all around them. Yet He has a new name, and only He knows who He is. As a dark cloak in a time of despair, and hidden beneath the drab is the Commander of the host of heaven, glory to be revealed at the appointed time. Yet the forces of a flood come troops to divide the land and remove the children of Jacob. Thunder pierces the blood skies and the Mount of Olives split. Moses and Elijah are mocked unholy and the world rejoices, for they lay dead in the streets, their bodies at the gesturing of the Palestinians. But the mountain splits, and the gathered flee through for an escape. Thousand fall dead, but the bodies of the two- they arise. They arise to the revelation of Messiah. As birds flying over Jerusalem, He is revealed in glory. And this is the plague in which the Lord will strike all the nations gathered against Israel and Jerusalem: before their bodies hit the ground, their flesh is consumed away, their eyes blown from their sockets- for they have persecuted the people of the living God. Panic abounds, for their heavens roll-up engulfing themselves like Hebrew scrolls....a fire in the skies and a destroying wind. And then comes the days of the Great King, and Rock of the Most Holy. With Him comes an army of living stones, and they crush the strength of their foes as mortar beneath the release of His mighty Hammer. And when the panic turns to the silence of the world, His people rejoice, for the veil of illusion which had been cast over all the nations will be removed, and the darkness of doubt will give way to a dawning new day. This is the day in which the Sun of Righteousness arises.
