The Vision by Rick Joyner
Losing Track of Time
EPISODE 32
It occurred to me that I had no idea how long I had been there. I did know that my comprehension of God and His universe had grown substantially as I merely touched these two stones-and there were many, many more to touch. There was more in that one room than a person could have absorbed in a whole lifetime. "How many more rooms are there?" I asked the angel.
"There are rooms like this on every level of the mountain you climbed."
“How can one ever experience all that is in just one of these rooms, much less all of them?" I asked.
"You have forever to do this.
The treasures contained in the most basic truths of the Lord Jesus are enough to last for more lifetimes than you can measure. No man can know all there is to know about any of them in just one lifetime, but you must take what you need and keep proceeding toward your destiny."
I started thinking about the impending battle again, and the warriors who had been captured. It was not a pleasant thought in such a glorious place, but I knew I would have forever to come back to this room. I had only a short time to find my way back to the top of the mountain and then back to the battlefront again.
I turned back to the angel and said, "You must help me find the door that leads to the top."
The angel looked perplexed. "We are your servants," he responded, "but you must lead us. This whole mountain is a mystery to us. We all desired to look into this great mystery, but after we leave this room we will be learning even more than you."
"Do you know where all the doors are?" I asked.

"Yes. But we do not know where they lead. There are some that look very inviting, some that are plain, and some that are actually repulsive. One is even terrible."
"In this glorious place there are doors that are repulsive?" I asked in disbelief. "And one that is terrible? How can that be?"
"We do not know, but I can show it to you," he responded.
"Please do," I said.
We walked for quite a while, passing treasures of unspeakable glory, all of which were difficult to bypass. There were also many doors, with different biblical truths over each one.
When the angel had called them "inviting," I felt that he had quite understated their appeal. I badly wanted to go through each one, but my curiosity about the "terrible door" kept me moving.
Then I saw it. "Terrible" had also been an under-statement. Fear gripped me until I thought it would take my breath away.
