39. Royal audience with God

From the sermon in the early morning on November 18, 1978, memorial worship service

Jesus Christ showed me several scenes of how he lived his life while he was in this world. The scenes include: the scene that he was struggling with his death while reading the Scripture of Isaiah on the table that he made himself; the scene when he performed the miracle of feeding over five thousand people with two fishes and five loaves of bread; the scene when he was tortured while carrying the cross; the scene when he suffered his death on the cross; and the scene when he appeared with glory and brightness after his resurrection. When he showed me those scenes, he changed me into a new person so that I can teach

you.

He came down to earth and appeared to me with bright and glorious clothes. Because I had never seen his appearance after he changed, I asked him, “Who are you?” Then he called my name and said, “I am Jesus of Nazareth.” I was so pleased to see him and bowed down to him. He said, “Let’s go to my Father.” He held my hand and we flew up through the air. I was so scared, because I had never been anywhere higher than the diving board at swimming pool when I was child.

I tried not to look down in fear, and then Jesus told me, “Do not be afraid, and just hold my hand tight.” As we flew higher, I saw that the houses below me were getting smaller and smaller. At that time I had not yet had the experience of flying in an airplane.

When we passed through the clouds, I remembered the scripture in Acts 1:9. “Jesus was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.” So I asked him, “My Lord, I remember that you went up to heaven after your resurrection. Did you rise up to heaven like this?” Then he answered, “Yes, I did.” I could not ask more than that.
