themselves all of the lies of that proceed forth from the ruler of this fallenworld.
It was then that the Lord brought back into remembrance that which the Lordhad showed me one Sunday morning when he took me in the Spirit (IICor.5:8). It was the first time the Lord had ever done that, and it is truly anamazing experience. It was a Sunday morning, just minutes before ourfellowship was to begin, and suddenly the Lord like took my consciousnessout of my body and took with him, leaving my body behind. I was sure thatwhen the Lord returned my consciousness to my body that at least a couple ofhours had gone by because of the things that the Lord had shown to as wellas those things which he had spoken to me. Yet, when I returned, I do notbelieve one minute had passed since the Lord first took me. Truly, the Lordrules over time and space. This is now an account of some of things that Isaw and of those things which I was told.
I suddenly found myself standing on the outer edge of space, looking towardsthe earth. While I was taking in this breathtaking view, I suddenly noticed outof the corner of my eye, a huge cloud of darkness coming from my leftheading towards the earth. It was unexplainable, but this cloud was so darkthat it even stood out clearly against the darkness of space. I then watched asthis cloud of darkness descended upon the whole earth, completelycompassing it like a black, thick fog. It not only covered the entire earth but italso reached about three miles above the earth. This cloud was not like thecloud of a thunderstorm, for a thundercloud, though it appears very ominousand dark, appears as though it has some manner of life of its own.

As thiscloud ascended upon the earth, it seemed to displace the air just like oildisplaces water when it is poured into it.
Then, in just an instant, I found myself back on the earth, standing in the midstof a large city. I immediately looked up, and when I did, I saw this heavy cloudof darkness descending all around me. I then watched as the darkness, againby its sheer weight, began to displace the very air that was around me. I thenclearly observed as the darkness got closer to me that this darknessconsisted of words; lifeless words, thousands of lifeless words, millions oflifeless words, billions of lifeless words. So many, many words, and they wereall moving around like swarms of bees move around their beehive just after ithas been disturbed. I then saw that as this darkness displaced the air, thatmen began to breathe in this darkness like it was the air that is necessary forlife; yet, it was the words that men were breathing in. I observed as thisdarkness not only entered into men by their noses, but also by their mouths,their eyes, and their ears. I then observed that as this darkness entered in, itwas able to corrupt all of the senses of man; and the affects of this corruptionwas easily seen in the countenances of all men. For the darkness broughtmuch torment, evil, trouble, deceit, and misery upon the lives of all men. I then
