Growing up in a big city, raised by her father, Charles, and
mother, Vonnie, with two siblings, her older brother, Christoph, and
younger sister, Kammie, did not negate that Anne felt all alone all the
time. Her earliest memory was between the ages of three and five. Her
parents were fighting in the hall just outside her room. She remembered
swinging a belt with the buckle hitting her father about his ankles,
shouting, “Daddy, stop!” That was the first of her many memories of
hearing, seeing, trying to stop the fighting, and wishing she was anybody
else!
The year of our LORD 2030 has come. The allotted and appointed
dispensation of one thousand years has begun. The Messiah returns with
His Bridal Army, which consisted of those Christians who dedicated
their lives to the Word of God, the Bible. World War had begun.
Multiple nations collided one against the other. Unity was lost. Division
was found. A man from perdition, cunning and unscrupulous, deceiving
many into believing that he was the chosen one, but he wasn’t The One.
He was chosen to destroy and oppose all that is good—all that is God
and of God. He is the beast! The three-and-one-half years of total chaos,
confusion, illusion, deception, and trickery disguised by talks about
“peace and security” had ended.
All that they considered to be humane was stolen. All that they
had believed in was a lie; furthermore, they had been deceived for many lifetimes into believing that the world could exist without its Creator. All
that they had imagined was granted to them as their reality for a season,
for an allotted span of time. All that they held dear, all that they believed
to be the truth was shattered with a flash of light that illuminated the sky,
dispelling the darkness, both internally and externally. The Bright and
Morning Star shines on earth once again.
Those that hoped and prayed for redemption in the midst of all the
darkness were caught up and removed from the earth. Those that remained
considered it a sign of better days to come. An “alien invasion” explained
the disappearance of many. They’d prepped, plotted, and planned this
subterfuge since the beginning of time, hiding, and conniving reality,
turning the truth into a lie and making falsehoods appear as the truth.
Anne Bodé-Else wished she had listened to her mother, her
grandmother, Elsie, her pastor, Reverend Beck, and her friends, Cári,
Bélla, and Josué, who were now gone. She wished that she had really
believed and not just pretended to believe. She wished she would have
asked more questions, prayed more often, or even read her Bible more.
She wished they were all still here. She wished she had been chosen. She
even wished she was dead.
Anne was raised on the south side of Chicago. She witnessed
the beatings of her mother by her abusive, alcoholic, angry, and jealous
father. Her relationship with Christoph ended due to his drug addiction.
She and Kammie had a decade between them and were not close. Anne
felt alone. She felt that if there was a God, and if He loved her so much
that He sacrificed His Only Begotten Son, why did she suffer so much? If
she was loved, how come she did not feel loved?
She dreamt of the day before they all went away. She imagined that
she too had accepted and received Christ as her Saviour. She fantasized
about being taken with all those whom she loved. She was left alone
with her imagination. She was an average student and studied hard. She dreamed and planned for a successful life. A pandemic occurred. The
economy suffered more. Prices increased constantly. Food and water were
withheld.
Anne thought that all of this was surreal. Everything was happening
as the Bible prophesied. She witnessed many things. People were
homeless, hungry, thirsty, persecuted, and afflicted. Pestilence and disease
flourished. There were frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The
weather was erratic. Tornados, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and draughts
occurred simultaneously in diverse places. The overuse of prescribed
medications replaced herbal remedies which God created to heal the
nations. Crime was prevalent. The evidence was clear. It had been in plain
sight all along. Why couldn’t or didn’t she see it before? Why did shet
have to endure, suffer, and witness the end of time?
Anne pondered, “now what?” She believed “coincidences do not
exist” and “there is a reason for everything that happens.” If everything
is as it was created to be, then she was left to witness His return. His
second coming. She remembered that Reverend Beck preached on the
time after the tribulation when Jesus Christ returns with His Bridal
Army. She recalls the sermons teaching the defeat of God’s foes. She
survived all of the tribulation period, and the LORD has returned. She
has rejected and denied Him previously, but she has another chance. She
has the opportunity to read and study the Word of God, pray and praise
Him. She can choose to believe and receive Jesus Christ as her personal
Saviour, and she does. She now feels blessed and loved. She experiences a
new birth of love in her heart. She was finally at peace
Anne wonders who returned with the LORD. She hopes to see
her loved ones again. She longs to show the love that she found so hard
to express previously to them, now. She can’t imagine seeing her mother
again on earth. Then Vonnie appears. She explains to Anne—she has
returned with Jesus Christ as His Bride. The former life that her mother once lived all made sense. Vonnie was a faithful and loyal wife. She was devoted to her family. She endured the hand of Charles. Anne couldn’t understand how Vonnie, could stay married to such an evil man. Vonnie
only told her that, “I love my family, and you all are very important to
me and Jesus.” Anne really missed her mother. When Vonnie appeared in
her transparent glorified body in Chicago one day, Anne passed out from
shock.
When Anne regained consciousness, Vonnie explains to her that
because she had completely surrendered her earthly life to live by the
example that Jesus had displayed during His first earthly journey, she was
granted the position as the Bride of Christ, one of many. She also explains
that the “Bride of Christ” is not the same as an earthly bride of an earthly
husband. It is an identification and symbol of the unity of her will with
the LORD’s Will. It was vitally important to Vonnie to be one with Christ
for all eternity. Anne was happy and sad. Vonnie reminded Anne of God’s
grace and mercy. Anne remembers seeing her mother rising before sunrise
praying, reading and studying the Bible. She recalls Vonnie’s consistent
church attendance. Vonnie helped wherever she could. She worked with
the church outreach. She helped the homeless. She always sang songs of
praise and quoted scriptures. She loved everyone. She cried tears of joy to
her LORD.
Anne thought her mother was crazy. She assumed she had been hit
so many times that she had completely lost her mind and all sensibility.
She could not understand why her mother could continue to live with,
cook, clean, and care for her father. When Charles was sick, going blind,
could barely walk, and confined to bed most of the time, he still yelled,
fussed, cussed, and ridiculed all she did for him. Vonnie never flinched.
She smiled. She catered to his every need. She treated him with respect.
She told him often, “I love you, Charles” and “I am so grateful to be your
wife.” She said, “God bless you,” when he sneezed, handed him Kleenex, is why He willingly surrendered His life on the cross. There ARE NO coincidences. What does matter is her attitude and demeanor towards
the other broken earthen vessels.
During this time all of the creatures that survived the three-andone-half years of the great and terrible tribulation without denying Christ
or agreeing to receive the mark of the beast system are overjoyed that they
lived to witness Jesus Christ return. The earth is restored. There is genuine
peace, safety, and love felt and shown. All earthen vessels dance, sing,
praise, and worship continuously. There are nonstop demonstrations and
expressions of gratitude and thanksgiving to the LORD Jesus Christ. The
years of dictatorship and tyranny are finally over. The beast has been cast
out, chained, and bound in the bottomless pit.
It is surreal for all of those that had rejected the new world regime
that the beast had set in place. They are rewarded for their resistance to
the governmental rule of the enemies of God. God had provided for and
miraculously sustained them during the worst time in all of creation.
All of their needs were and are met. The Bride ministers to them day
and night without ceasing. They are taught the ways of mercy and grace.
They learn many hidden mysterious truths from the Word of God. Their
strength has been renewed in the LORD. Their skin shines from the glory
that covers the earth since the True Messiah has returned. It appears as if
time has stopped. Each moment is more beautiful than the last. For one
thousand years, the LORD Jesus Christ reigns in the Holy City with His
Bride, ministering love, and there is finally peace on earth and good will
toward God’s Creation.
This is the best story ever told!
