Ellen's Dream

 A temple stood before her: many people went inside: she knew
Those inside would escape destruction when Jesus came again
Those outside would die: face eternal loss!
Most people didn’t care one way or another
Making fun of those inside that structure
They claimed the temple was a trick: there was no danger
Tried to stop people from entering those hallowed halls
Ellen waited: wanted to slip inconspicuously inside
More & more people surrounded that beautiful temple
She started pushing to get inside: feared it would be too late
She was pushed & shoved about: concentrated
On reaching forward: soon forgot those around her
Inside: the building was supported by a single massive pillar
To which a bruised & torn lamb stood tied
Everyone inside: knew their deeds has caused its pain
They stood before the lamb & confessed their sins
Many rows of elevated seats clustered in front of the lamb
Where happy people sat: light shining upon their faces
Singing praises unto God: had confessed their sins: were forgiven
They awaited some miracle to come: fear filled her heart
Confess in front of these? She felt ashamed to humble herself
A strange force compelled her forward towards the lamb
A trumpet blared: people shouted: the building shook
Bright light flashed through the temple!
Suddenly upon Ellen a cloak of darkness dropped
She was alone: terribly alone!
