The
First-Fruits and Evangelism
Reuel Stewart
I walked into a large room that resembled a large
football stadium. It had a lot of bleachers and there was thousands of people
in the bleachers, as I walked in, I realized that I could not leave the way I
came in. As I looked around I noticed that in the center field of the
stadium, there was about 15-20 people that had white shiny glowing robes on.
Everyone in the bleachers were focused on them. They were talking, but I could
not hear what they were saying. They had a look of perfect peace and
understanding. One of the people was my little sister in law (she is sixteen
now, and seemed to be about the same age). She had a harp or some sort
of musical instrument and she was playing it. The next thing I noticed was my
other in-laws in the bleachers looking at her all excited and saying "look
there is Maria, she is glowing!"
(Editors Note: Maria is Mary in English. Mary
was promised to bear the fruit of Jesus. {Lk.1:31} And behold,
thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his
name JESUS. Because she believed the Word it came to pass.
{45} And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of
the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord. Mary
represents these people who have come to manifest the fruit of Jesus. The
first fruits, 144,000, man-child are the only ones who could learn the song
with the harps (Rev.14:2,4). Only those who bear fruit are spiritually
the mother of Jesus. {8:21} But he answered and said unto them,
My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do it.)
At this point I looked to my left and realized
that everyone was funneling to the only exit of the stadium. I was curious as
to where they were going. I walked around to the bleachers so that I could see
the exit. Standing in front of the exit there was an Angel, and behind him
were two paths. On the left side there was an escalator going down. I looked
and saw that the escalator disappeared into a lake of fire. I also saw
thousands of peoples heads sticking out of the lake of fire. They were all
screaming in agony and were being burned alive. Then I looked to the right and
I saw a door. The door was white and as it opened I saw there was a bright
whiteness behind the door. I then focused on the long line of people standing
in front of the Angel, they would only pause momentarily before being directed
to the right or the left. Very few people were directed to the right. I was
shocked at how many people were being told to go to the left. They had no
choice and they could not fight it or protest they just would get on the
escalator and disappear into the fire and then their screams would be heard. I
then realized this was the end the judgment.
I began to reflect on my life, and wonder which
way I would be told to go. I was watching this process for quite some time.
As I was watching I saw my older brother was next in line. I was intently
focused on what was happening at this point because it was my brother. As he
stood in front of the Angel he was directed to the left, I yelled out his
name to see if it was really him. He turned around, his face and clothes
were all dirty. The expression on his face was a look of a very sad lost
soul, who just realized it was the end. In a flash I appeared next in line.
Everything around me paused, my life flashed before my eyes. It only took a
moment. As I saw my life, I saw all the things that I had done in my life,
good or bad if it was for myself it meant nothing and I was ashamed of it. I
also saw all the things I had done for the Lord in my life, and it seemed
like so little compared to the rest. A vision simultaneously appeared in my
mind of the story of Esau and the morsel of meat. I clearly understood that
all the things the world offered and the things I had done for myself, were
just like the bowl of soup that Esau sold his birthright for. I was totally
completely ashamed and even though I had grown up as a missionary's child
and had known the Lord my whole life, I felt unworthy and expected to be
directed to the left. The Angel then showed me that what seemed were
the last moments of my life, my heart had loved the Lord and that this was
grace. I was able to go to the right. As he said these words I was relieved,
but then I remembered my brother who was on the escalator.
He was staring right at me, the Angel said
something to me but I couldn't hear him because of the screaming coming from
the fire. I turned my attention to the Angel, and I asked him what he said. He
told me that I could chose someone to go with me. I immediately said "My
Brother!" But the Angel said I could not chose him because he had already been
judged and I had a chance to talk to him on earth. I was shown Ezekiel
33:8. My brother is not a bad person and I was shocked that he was on the left
side. I felt horrible, I wanted another chance to witness to my brother to
tell him to put the Lord first. I also began to realize all the other people I
loved that I had not seen yet. Then the angel told me I could pick
another person that had not been judged yet. I saw
my twin brother Reuben. He died five years ago, then he went through the door
with me.
As I walked through the door a brightness
surrounded me in a large white greeting room, with white seats. Everything was
pure bright white. It seemed like I was there for hours. Very few people were
in the room. I was waiting and thinking about all that I could have done for
the Lord that I did not do. Waiting was difficult. Finally three people came
through the door. I rushed over to them, I knew them, I anxiously wanted to
ask if they had seen anyone else and if the judgment was over, but before I
got to them I woke up. As I woke up I felt the Lord was giving me a second
chance to encourage people to seek Him first in their lives. I also clearly
remember the shame of not telling them the truth.
I began to pray desperately and was asking the
Lord what he wanted me to do, and if I was supposed to tell everyone, I wanted
confirmation. Immediately I fell back asleep into a second dream. I was
surrounded by brightness and what looked like snow, but it was not cold. I
saw in the distance a heavenly city, with beautiful golden gates and large
white pillars. I began to quicken my pace to get to the gates. As I approached
the gates, the Devil jumped out from behind one of the pillars. I was
wrestling with him for a long time to conquer him to try to get to the gates.
The harder I tried the harder it was. I was getting tired. The verses came to
my mind, ..the Devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may
devour... I was praying. I began to seek the Lord, I realized that I could not
conquer him and get to the gates on my own. I cried out to Jesus I said, "I
need you, I cannot do this on my own." Then I saw who I thought was Jesus. It
was like He was watching me the whole time. He came out from the gates. He
destroyed the Devil and he said to me .. See you cannot do it, only through
me. You must seek me and be yielded to me. I am the only way. I woke up. These
dreams put the fear of God into my life. I know that I must really seek him to
enter in, and nothing is more important. I hope that this can be an
encouragement to you. I have read several testimonies of people who have had
similar dreams and life after death experiences which have also been a
confirmation to me.
