Bright Burning

Image: A low horizon all around me.

I am looking at and travelling towards this horizon, far in the distance are what looks like small mountains. I see this all around me, in all directions. Very dark and indistinct. As I close in to this range of darkness, a brightness begins to show itself above.

The brightness grows and begins to show colours. Purples, pinks, yellows, oranges, some reds and even some greens and blues here and there. All are topped off with the blue of the sky above that. Growing waves of colour growing taller and more intense all the time.

The closer I get the more defined the hills become. And they turn out to be buildings, some tall and thin, others short or squat, and everything in between. More detail becomes evident the closer I get. Things like windows and doors, wires running from building to building, there are even curtains and blinds in some of the windows and doors. But most importantly and most obvious is the growing brightness above it all. Waves of colour, lines of it, sheets of it, all over everything.

This is, or are the fires of the Spirit burning over everything. Burning within and without. Its burning without any outward destruction showing, no burning decay, no char, no ash. Yet it is burning away all he impurities that would be found. Burning away all that is negative or hurtful. Destroying the bad while restoring the positive and goodness that might be inside.

As the fire continues to burn with more and more intensity, the colours intensify as well. Brightening almost to the point of the light being painful to my eyes. The darkness that is showing in the buildings is intensifying as well. Not getting brighter but getting darker, seemingly becoming darker than dark, beyond black. Like it's trying to become like a black hole trying to absorb the light even as it becomes stronger and brighter.

Yet as dark as the dark gets it cannot and will not overpower these ever strengthening colours. The colours seem to eat into this darkness like an acid eats into something organic. The dark surfaces are beginning to dissolve slowly and underneath begins to show something not black. More and more of the darkness bubbles, dissolves and falls away.

I am seeing patches of gold and silver and copper coming to the surface. Here again the brightness is still growing and intensifying, overpowering more and more of the darkness. The darkness is being overwhelmed by the lightness of what is underneath.

As I watch, the darkness is finally and completely eradicated from all things both inside and out. All that remains within my sight is showing bright and shining. Sparkling as new metal, pure metal newly refined. The world is being burnt to its very core as a means of purification. Purification of everything in preparation for the return and new beginning.

2 Peter 3:7

By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgement and the destruction of ungodly men.
