THE BANQUETING HOUSE By Percy Collett
He Brought Me Into The Banqueting House And His Banner Over Me Was Love.
The Large Banqueting House of Heaven is a Real Banqueting House, not just in word only. This is a Building underneath the Mansions with stairways going down from every Mansion. It is lit up from end to end by GOD's Glory.
My Prayer for almost seven years was: ''Oh, GOD, Let Me See Thy Glory.'' And GOD let me see His Glory, The Glory of GOD in GOD's Fullness.
The Banqueting House, Miles Wide And Many Miles Long, is Transparent and One Sits opposite One another except opposite with Jesus, Who will then wear His Crown because He then will be Our King. The Transparency of Heaven enables the Citizen of Heaven to look upon the Throne always. The Banqueting House has Hundreds of Tables in it, all built out of Beautiful Gold. All the Tables are Decorated with an Abundance of all kinds of Fruits and You cannot Eat them all up and Diminish the Supply; There is always an Abundance.
The Walls are Jasper and The Ceiling Blue. The Floors are Gold and the Seats are Purple. The Tables are inlaid with Precious Stones of all Kinds. Nothing has to be Cleaned in Heaven because there is no Dust or Falling Leaves, no Thunder Storms, no Rain, no Winds Blowing. Only the Celestial Breath of GOD that Supplies Heaven with His Celestial Air.
The Sweet Fragrance of the Flowers that never Decay fill the Banqueting House with such a Wonderful Air that it Satisfies the Sense of Smell in your Soul. When the Body leaves this Earth at the Great Resurrection of the Redeemed and when the Body and the Soul are joined together again and they will make the Great Entrance into Heaven before the Throne, then the Body will realize as well as the Soul Everlasting Life Forever And Ever.
It will be so wonderful in that Banqueting House, Millions sitting together and seeing one another as we are known because we shall be known as we are known.
It will be a Great Hallelujah of Remembrance as we see one another. Sin and Affliction and Sickness will be forgotten and no more Tears will be Shed as that will only last for a little while in Heaven and it will be all over, for the Troubles and the Heartaches of this Earth will be forgotten.
Discrepancies and Misunderstandings will be no more. Letters of Opposition will not be Written. There will be no one Claiming to be Holier than Thou nor Claim to be Smarter or more Clever than the Other. There will be no more Church Officials to set us Straight or Organizations that will say that They are the only Ones who are Right. There will be no more Thoughts of Hate, Misunderstandings or Jealousies, Divorces or Law Suits, Court Houses or Penitentiaries, no more Politicians to be Elected, no more Democrats or Republicans, Communists or Socialists, Scientists or Psychiatrists, Medical Doctors or Dentists: none of those will be needed anymore, for there will be no more Sickness or Pain.
We are now all gathered together in the Banqueting House of Love. Love is the Keynote of Heaven. He, who Loves His Brother, Does Him No Harm and Sister, Who Loves Her Sister, Does Her No Harm. Love is the Keynote of Heaven. Overhanging all the Tables is the Banner saying: LOVE.
One time I was in an Earthly gathering; All of us, Black and White, were breaking Bread together. A Black Sister came to attend. With Tears streaming down Her Eyes, She said: ''Such Love!'' This is the Banqueting House I am talking about, The Banqueting House of Heaven where the Saints of GOD gather together to partake in the Great Banquet of Love.
The Entrance to the Banqueting House is very Wide. The Chariots float overhead, ready to take you out and bring you in, to tour all over GOD's Heaven crossing the Celestial Sea, sailing up among the Bells, but nothing ever Higher than the Heavenly Choir.
The Musicians and Entertainers, who entertain at the Banquets of this Earth and go into the White House and Buckingham Palace and the Palaces of this Earth, would not have to drink whiskey or wine to pep up the Banquet or Heaven.
There will not be any need of any Cocktails, Olives or Onions, Vodka or Gin, Bourbon, Rye or Scotch. We will all drink of the new Wine of Heaven which will be supplied by Jesus. The Earthly will be turned into the Heavenly and it will be Everlasting Satisfaction.
There will be no more needs of Spoons and Dishes that will have to be Washed. Everything in the Heavenly Banqueting House will be Pure and Clean.
This is GOD'S BANQUETING HOUSE.
