THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED Carl Cooper’s Dream A FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER. It was a normal day in the city. People were
shopping, eating, drinking, children playing, boys and girls courting, and all the other things that go along with a normal
day. I was sitting around being bored as usual and my sisters and brothers were all outside at the back of my brothers (Perry's)
house. Every one of them was there. Mama and Daddy had came down to greet Marva and her family on their arrival
from Los Angeles and Bettye had also came down to get her hair redone. As it happens, they are all sitting around
at the backyard of Perry’s house laughing and talking about old times. But as for me, I began to feel a very strong
sadness and felt like this was going to be our last time together. The first thought that came to my mind was that I was going
to die. But I kept these sad inner feelings to myself. What really got me though was when Mama sent some one after me to tell
me to come so that we could all pray. Once she said the Prayer, everyone
became uneasy. So just as we bowed our heads, something forced me to say "Mama, it’s too late. That feeling that I had
always gotten when I thought of Judgement Day was more than strong now; and when I said that to Mama she looked up
at the sky and said "Children, it’s here," and she burst out in tears. Daddy stood up and raised both hands toward
Heaven and looked at us and said "WHO WILL BE ABLE TO STAND." Once he said these words, everything went BLACK and I
could hear Chris calling Mama and Daddy ; but I couldn’t see anyone. I had went into a slight stage of
shock. All at once, almost by force, my head was guided in the direction in which Mama and Daddy had been standing
and I could see the two of them ascending farther and farther in the sky. Everyone else had disappeared it seemed, but
then I looked around and saw Deather easing very slowly off the ground, and I tried to holler at her but it seemed if though
my lips were glued together. Cheryl Lynn was on the ground in front of me on her knees saying "Lord please take me with
you" and I tried to touch her but I was unable to move. He then told her to stand up and rejoice because her witness was
in Heaven and her record was on high. And I mean that Cheryl Lynn must have gotten on that grass and shouted all over that
yard. I then closed my eyes to try and feel
his presence, but I was so scared I couldn’t concentrate. When I opened my eyes, Cheryl was about eight feet in the
sky above me. I tried to call the Lord to ask him why wouldn’t he speak to me, but nothing would come out of my mouth.
Next he called Dorothy, Chris, Perry, Noble, etc.
For this we say to you by the word of the
Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For
the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with
these words. I Thes. 4:15-18 And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have
passed away. Revelation 21:4 Blessed are those who do His commandments,
that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:13 Surely I am coming quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. Revelation 22:20-21
