en·ter·tain·ment
noun
1. The action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment.
2. An event, performance, or activity designed to entertain others. 
In the visions of the night I went up to a high place, (A theater with a
stage). A man went with me and two other men that were not as the man
and I. Once I entered into the theater I was separated from the other
three men. I didn’t want to be there but somehow I had to stay. As I
found a seat I saw many people from my childhood and sat down among
them. I was happy to see their faces. A woman sat down beside me and
began to be very friendly; she suggested that we were close as in the
way of men and women but it wasn’t true.
The show began and all the people worshiped and praised the spectacle
with excitement. I and the woman sat and didn’t join in the worship. The
show finally stopped for a short sabbath (intermission) and I went out
to the court (lobby). A woman talked with several men, they were all
part of those who put on the show. The men said the show wasn’t that
good and the woman replied that it was only “Molten Metal,” the opening
act, and to wait for the real show to start.
When I went back inside I saw more people from my past, people from
jobs and places that had all been part of my life. I was happy to see
them and went to greet as many as I could. The second part of the show
started and I realized that everyone around me had begun to do all
manner of unclean things that should not even be spoken, men and women,
men with men, and women with women. I ran out, knowing that I had to
leave this high place and I saw that the man I came with and the woman
that had been setting beside me had also came out.
We went down and down, trying to leave the high place. I had to carry
the woman for part of the way. Finally we reached what seemed like the
end and saw some boys (they were boys that symbolized groups like the
Jonas brothers) playing basketball. Then I realized that we weren’t yet
off of the high place and needed to continue on. We moved into a place
with slides (water-slides) and cable cars. I tried to go down the slides
but each one only turned and began to go back up towards the high
place. The entire place was like a giant maze that had no way out. Then I
tried to grab the cable cars (there were no cars but only cable with
very small handles) but the cable and handles were much too small to
hang onto.
A
man appeared in the distance, he walked, almost gliding closer to me.
He laughed a cold and hollow laugh that held anger instead of happiness.
He reminded of a carnival barker, the ones that call out for the crowds
to come and join the fun. He spoke, still laughing that same angry
laugh and said, “If you can get out, you will know all you need to about
this place.” I knew he spoke of people living their lives to be
entertained.
Then
I understood that I could step above the maze and walk on top of it. I
stepped up and by belief began to run down from the high place on top of
the maze. As I ran a path opened up before me and I grew more and more
confident in YHUH. Unspeakable joy began to fill my heart.
The man was still laughing and saying, “Yes, Yes,” but he was angry, very angry.
The
way became harder with sharp iron rocks and bars poking up from the
earth but my path still opened before me as I ran. I ran down and as I
drew near to the bottom of the high place my eyes were opened and I saw
all the “images” (images from movies and all forms of entertainment)
coming up from the earth. They all melted into empty nothingness and
disappeared as I went by.
The
man spoke again to someone behind me and said, “Now let’s see if you
can do as well captain.” I looked and saw that the man who had been with
me, and the woman, and others were trying to do what I had just done.
As I reached the bottom I cried, “ HalleluYah! HalleluYah!” with great joy.
