The Rapture is like a candle
Author: David Magiera
The Rapture is like a candle -- to be placed on a pedestal -- lighting up the truth of our Lord's soon return. The Rapture is only the eighth pedestal sculpture of my brief career. I've never had any art training -- I learned as I went. My only instructor has been the Holy Spirit and my desire to push myself towards His highest goal -- no matter what the difficulties.
During these years, the Lord encouraged me to journal His insights and revelations. My book titled Wise Virgins is the result of that unction, and it reflects His mandate upon my life -- to share the message it contains. It is supported from cover to cover by the Word of God.
In 1995, after many years of marriage -- and becoming the father of three daughters and a son -- I found myself single again! Devastated and determined to rise through the pain, I pressed into God once again. Then, after two years of trusting God and standing on His promises, I was given the opportunity to call a lady by the name of Sheila who lived in Texas -- I lived in Minnesota! Just three months into our telephone relationship, I proposed -- over the phone -- and we hadn't even met yet! Within two weeks, I shipped my belongings to Texas, bought a one-way airline ticket and flew to Texas with wedding rings in my pocket! Sheila was my gift from the Lord -- the physical and spiritual counterpart symbolized in my "ONE FLESH" sculpture.
Shortly before my marriage to Sheila and just prior to completing the book "Wise Virgins," my twelve year labor of love, something quite extraordinary happened. While praying in the Spirit and worshiping the Lord in the shower, song lyrics began pouring into my spirit. I knew nothing about writing music, playing music, or songwriting when it happened. On that morning, the Lord gave the melody, the chorus and the verses to a song I knew was to be called The Wedding of the Lamb. The song is a lyrical summary of 12 years of journaling -- and the essence of the message contained in "Wise Virgins." The Wedding of The Lamb is a song that was written in heaven to help prepare the church for His soon coming... to bring unity and restoration... to help prepare the "bride" for our soon coming Messiah.
