From Bad to Good - An Incredible Journey

John: I’ve got good news and bad news, which you want first?

Dawn: Well go ahead then, give me the bad

J: A mighty storm is raging, the ship’s sinking

D: Don’t worry, we’re not on the ship

J: But it gets worse, a mighty fire is raging, the house is burning

D: Don’t fear, it’s not our house

J: I’m telling you, it’s bad, real bad - the world is ending

D: Hmm, that is bad, just how and where do we get off?

J: There’s no escape

D: Now that’s bad, real bad

Suddenly out of nowhere they are interrupted by a loud voice –

“Before the good comes the bad, before light there is dark, before sweet comes the bitter, before joy must come the sorrow, before peace there is war, before learning must come correction

Next this song is instantly replayed in both their minds: To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn and a time to every purpose under heaven

These two seeing ones, blind just a moment before, now see and carefully consider in amazement what’s just been put before them.

They are the bad, but not so bad that they can’t turn. And that’s good, there is hope for them. The bad must experience some bad before they turn to that which is good.

And the real bad? These must experience the bad-real-bad ending before they will ever see the good-real-good beginning. These too must turn, it just takes extra to soften their hardened souls and open their eyes and hearts.

The good land, the enchanted land, is nearing, it is very close. Earth’s inhabitants have travelled upon her long enough! and even earth itself has become weary and cries out for deliverance. Oh yes, it draws nearer with each passing day and week and month, that bright new land of promise and hope, the dawning of a new world of our Father’s making!

Because when the time's up, it's up!

See how good and awesome and perfect their Father is

See how bad-real-bad they are

Because when this world waxes from bad to as-bad-as-it-can-get, a defining moment comes, when the things that seem important become unimportant and worthless. The world’s materialistic goods suddenly change from good-real-good into bad-real-bad in that moment. Then and there His children see and understand that all these things cannot rescue or save them, not a soul. . .IT IS THEN all the idols will be viewed as worthless junk and be cast away. God alone will be known as God in that day who alone has the power to save.

And the casting away of the ugly must come before the worthy and honorable truth can be gathered as precious treasures into all hearts. The Father’s children must come to see the good as truly good and the bad as truly bad

When truth and righteousness is seen as very good and lies and deception are seen as very evil, then God’s children will have turned and learned and be able to experience real life in the land of the good

Jesus Christ is coming soon and His Father’s Kingdom he will bring with him! He will rule on this earth with peace and love and equity and justice for all!

At the closing of John and Dawn’s heartfelt day of reawakening, soul-searching and turning, while still thinking on these things, a glorious angel appears and transports them forward into the incredibly good land of promise...they can now see and experience these precious words of comfort, joy and truth even before the return of Jesus Christ to this earth when this will be the wonderful new reality for all peoples:

THE CURSE ON EARTH IS BROKEN

EARTH’S ENEMY IS BOUND AND CHAINED

THE DARK VEIL CAST OVER ALL NATIONS IS DESTROYED

ALL SINS ARE CAST INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND HIS SALVATION NOW COVERS THE EARTH AS THE OCEAN BEDS ARE COVERED WITH WATER

THEY SHALL DWELL WITH THEIR FATHER AND HIS SON IN GOD’S FAMILY FOREVERMORE
