VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The Celebration Train!

I Could Hear Music In Anything

And
The Celebration Train's Wheels
Were
- To Me At Least -
Musically Turning!
I Could Hear Them Plainly Singing!

Perhaps It Was My Guilty Conscience
- Valiant -

Ever Working ... For My Good
Projecting The Song I Was Hearing!

When It Was Going Slowly, It Said:

Backslide!
Chastise!

Confess!
Deliver!

When It Picked Up Speed, It Said:

You Backslide! 

God Will Chastise! 

You Confess! 

God Will Deliver!

I Was Amazed!

I Looked Around To Share My Discovery
But
Everybody Else Was Carrying On
- Into Self -
Trusting Mr. Good Vibes

- Our Decidedly Amiable Host -
To Make The Party Stay Alive!

I Had Been, Too ... Before
But, NowI Was No Longer So Sure
That This Party Was For Me
Because
I Knew That The Later It Got
People Would Really Start Behaving Badly!

Previously

I Would Have Joined Them Gladly!

Lord, What To Do?!
What Do I Do!?
I Have Not A Clue!

I Can Hear Working Conscience's Refrain!
How Do I Get Off
This Going Nowhere Train?!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Huh?!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Get Off This Train

Before It Reaches The Fjord!

What Fjord?!
This Train Is Not Supposed To Be Crossing Any Water!
The Old Bridge Is Out Of Commission!
If It Tries
There Will Be A Slaughter!

Stop The Music!
Stop The Revelry!
Stop That Music!
People! People!
Listen To Me!

Shut Up! Shut Up!            

                You're Spoiling Our Fun!

Shut Up! Shut Up!                           

             Grab A Drink And ... SIT DOWN!!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

This Is An Emergency!

I Could Still Hear The Voice Speaking:

Pull The Emergency Cord!

Pull The Emergency Cord!

In A Spiritual Emergency

Non-Performance

In Almighty God's Eyes

Is

Treason!

I Pulled The Emergency Cord!

People Cursed And Cried Out!
They Spilled Their Drinks And Snacks!
Some Fell On The Floor
But
Their Lives Were Saved 

To Hear Me Excitedly Say:

Almighty God Visited His Mercy On Us Today!

We Were Heading Over The Bridge!

What Bridge?!

We Are Not Supposed To Be Crossing The Bridge?!?

Exactly!

Lord Jesus!

I Heard

I Heeded The Spirit's Warning!

If The Train Had Dared To Make The Crossing

None Of Us Here Would Now Be Talking!

We Were Going In The Wrong Direction!

We Would've Had Not An Ounce Of Protection!

People! People ...!

... Wait A Minute!

Where's The Driver?!

Where's Mr. Good Vibes?!

Where's The Host!?! 

He's Not Here!!

Gracious Me ...!

Brethren,

As The Story Goes

So Goes Life!

Satan Encourages Us

To Do Wrong

To Wrong The Living God

And

Then He Leaves Us

Me And You

- Deceived -

To Face Whatever Is Sin's Just Reward!

Let Us Trust God And ... Walk Straight!

Let Us Deny The Vile, Wily, Liar

And

Walk As Becomes The Overcomer Of

Sin Self And Satan

And

In The Appointed Day

We Shall Walk - By Right -

Through Heaven's Pearly Gate

Having Avoided

Satan And His Witting Companions' 
Designated Fate!

Let Jesus Walk You Safely Home!

Leave The Party-Hard
Fast-Talking

Hurry-Up Drivers

To Themselves!

Let Them Go To Hell On Their Own!
