For some of us, a vision could be seen as a warning or reminder to behave or to be good, otherwise some calamity or disaster may occur. However, visions need not necessarily be seen in that way. When a vision occurs, it could also be seen as a prompting from God, inviting us to look into our lives and grow closer to Him. God is reaching out to us, giving us opportunities to walk in His ways, trust in His providence, and let Him be our help and guide.
In today's reading,
John had a vision where he "saw the dead, both great and small, standing
in front of his throne, while the book of life was opened, and other
books opened which were the record of what they had done in their lives,
by which the dead were judged." John also saw in his vision a burning
lake which is the second death "and anybody whose name could not be
found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake." If we have been consistent, committed and persistent in our efforts to grow in relationship with God, then such visions should not startle us or cause us to fear, since we can be confident and trust that God will take care of us. God is inviting us to live, it is up to us to accept His invitation and be alive in His love.
