Stanislaw Barszczak,Vision of capacity of the church,testimony by Olaf Rodge
On December 11, 1952, in the morning at my brother’s house in Bergen (Norway) I had a vision that I was very moved. Just before this experience, I was busy reading the book and did not think about the rapture of the Church at all. However, I felt that I had to describe it. At first it did not seem to me to be something from God, so I rejected this idea in the belief that it was a product of my imagination. However, I could not find a room in agreement with these thoughts. God in prayer: “I can not recall everything in detail. So if you want me to describe it, let me experience it again.” After a week, the experience was repeated, it was 22:00. I felt it as clearly as if someone he was sitting next to me and reading news from a newspaper. I took a pencil briefly and I started to write it on the pages of the old cash register, lying just next to me. I wrote until the first night, then I could not write tired anymore, because I was already 79 years old! I asked God that I could rest, and if anything else were to be I got down to sleep and immediately fell asleep. After the next week, the vision was repeated and continued from the place where I finished previously. I believe that what I wrote can wake up some soul from spiritual sleep in current times.(Listen to me) It’s 9:00 am. Miss Anderson sits on the radio and listens to a children’s show. After a few minutes, the show suddenly stops. There is a sensational report from Oslo. The city is in a panic – says the announcer – the police are that the reason for all this is the disappearance of an undetermined number of people, adults and children. The publishers are I was asked to provide all information about the circumstances of the disappearance of their loved ones. In this way they tried to find a way to get to know this strange secret. A few minutes later, it was stated that the market square suddenly disappeared during the performance several women sellers. One of the women said she was paying for the flowers she bought and the seller started looking for the rest and he disappeared without a trace at that moment. She just heard him say, “Jesus, thank you.” She seemed to see a light mist, but then everything went away. At the same moment, another young woman running around started screaming in a shrill voice: “Someone stole my child! That was my son, he was eight months old, where is he? Where is the police?” The police were even nearby, but what could she do? How to help? Similar voices came from everywhere – great chaos and anxiety arose. Fat seller ran out of his store crying: “Help, help! They have disappeared two saleswoman directly from behind the shop counter!” Strange thing. Reports on the disappearance of many people have begun to flow in and from other cities such as Stockholm and Copenhagen, where in Oslo, a panic broke out. In every case people were told about the disappearance of people of different ages. The government felt helpless in the face of this mysterious incident. By listening to these news, she sighed, “My God, what is this?” She put in the door and went to the garden and stopped at the gate, looking at the street on which the neighbor was walking.Miss Holand held her hands in her eyes and sobbed in despair, “Ruta, Ruta,” and when she saw Mrs. Anderson, she rubbed her eyes and stopped, asking: “You did not see a stranger here, who would pass this way? My Ruta has disappeared! She was sitting in front of the house stairs while I was busy with one rose-bush and suddenly she disappeared. I call her, I shout, but no one answers me. It seems to me, however, that someone was riding down the street, but I am quite distracted and I can not collect my thoughts. How strange this is … “Ruta, Ruta! Where are you, who took you ?! “- Crying, she went on, and then Mr. Anderson came back home.”Have you come back? – asked the wife – Is it still very early, only half past ten? ” I could not stand it anymore. A great confusion suddenly took place in our factory. Many workers have disappeared. It was assumed that there was an accident at work, but we were looking for the missing people and we found no trace of them. Then one of the workers who claimed to be a real Christian and went to some religious congregation, full of terror began to cry, “It happened now? It happened now ?!” “What happened?” – we asked him, he told us that “Jesus he took his people, “and he began to cry, wringing his hands, and continued:” And I stayed here! I stayed here! “I asked him to calm down and not say such nonsense, but he was more and more distraught, it was terrible to hear this man, certainly not only he fell into such a doubt, we will work longer today to make up for the lost time.” In the city, the situation was just as tragic. Communication was blocked, because many bus, lorry and passenger drivers also disappeared, leaving their vehicles motionless. Trams and taxis stopped, leaving a long row of streets. People were running half-mad for looking for relatives and friends. Mr. Anderson and his wife entered the house and set up local radio news. “People from all over the world report that people have disappeared, calls have been ringing since the morning, reports and questions about these strange events are being transmitted, and the reports say that seafarers have disappeared on many ships too, in hospitals the staff are terrified, especially in maternity wards, where many mothers are grieved for losing newborn babies and some people are missing in retirement homes. ” At 11:00 it was reported from London that some adults and children disappeared around the UK around nine o’clock, leaving no trace behind. Nobody was found missing. All this is a great mystery. Several pastors summoned their congregation members stating that the most devout and faithful of them were missing. Several pastors and preachers were also sought after. The bishop of a larger religious group called a meeting with his pastors and preachers for the evening. Three and a half hours after the first information from Oslo was broadcast, new news from different countries and continents began to flow. From the Far East and from Korea, the most moving news comes. There the number of missing people is estimated at many hundreds of thousands. It is almost impossible to describe the events that took place in the first hours. A great number of people have been shocked. Many others ran around the street breaking their hands and looking for loved ones. The most moving is the view of mothers who have lost their children. Among the crowd there are also many who curse in all this. A man runs down the street waving his arms and exclaims, “Watch out, look out, we’ll all be taken soon!” – the poor guy lost his mind. On the corner, the old lady, folding her hands, looks at the sky and says as if to herself: “Oh no, if we did not get ready so that we could be taken, now no one else will be caught there in this state. Jesus, help us. Yes, it happened now, it happened now, I tried to lead a religious life, but I thought he would not come so soon … I did not take it so seriously … The management of the railway reported that for the time being, no disaster or catastrophe occurred. Only one train stopped on route without a manager and a conductor. A regulation was also issued so that the railway services would check on all level crossings if there were any passengers sought along the tracks who had disappeared from the trains in an unknown way. Similar information comes from the fjords, where some fishermen disappear from the boat. Only in the evening something like an explanation was given, appealing to the public to maintain peace and order. The authorities together with the police are trying to determine the number of missing people. This extraordinary situation absorbed even the minds of many scholars, and above all the forecasters who try to find out the causes of the events that took place. Information about the existence of a similar situation occurred in the USA, with the fact that there was a much greater confusion in communication due to the mysterious disappearance of many people. Many people are eagerly awaiting the morning news, which should bring a more extensive overview of this random information that has so far reached almost the entire world. It is 22:00. From the information so far, it is clear that this is not an isolated situation, but that it has embraced the whole world in a similar way. Previous information has been received only from larger cities, now information from rural areas is beginning to be received. Anxiety overwhelmed the whole earth, equally both hemispheres. None of the people wanted to go to bed that night. Numerous groups of people were discussing on the streets discussing what had happened. Some, however, begin to lead to hysterics. There are more and more voices that what has happened is closely related to Christianity and its followers. Those who knew the missing, in agreement with their families, are of the opinion that this applies only to fanatics and innocent children. One of the employees of the village brewery came to the conclusion that evening: “Yes, Eusus Olmsen is gone now. Now he will prosper, as he has often said in his sermons that Jesus will soon come and take him away.” “It’s true,” answered the others, “he was one of us, and he disappeared, and now?” The authorities will certainly take care of it, presumably they will infect everything related to religion, so that something similar will never happen again” “Certainly, someone from the group nodded, but these Christians were right, if we listened to them, we would probably be better off here than in this hellish mess, but now we have to live on, and it will certainly be much harder and worse.” – “Oh, you believed in them, actually you were to go with them when they were picked up,” someone sighed. – “I would like it to be so,” he answered and left. The next day did not bring anything new, nor any particularly sensational reports. All stations reported that this is and remains an unexplained mystery. At a meeting of preachers and pastors gathered in the evening, many of them were missing. The rest of them were nervous and gloomy. Many felt very unhappy. They did not have the slightest doubt that what had happened was the predicted rapture of the Church-Bride. Some of them said that despite gaining theological education and frequent study of God’s Word, they never thought it would happen in such a way. The new birth was something unknown and unknown to them, how much more the possession of the Spirit of God’s inheritance. One of the young pastors said simply: “We were not taught this way.” The lecturers have never told us that what we experienced this morning will happen. ” Journalists have admitted that there is a clear need for discussion, but the minds are too shaken to be able to reasonably talk about it. In response to the police appeal, that the population would report their views, most of the pastors and preachers gathered decided to make a report in line with their conviction, in which they jointly stated that what had happened could be considered the Church’s proclamation of the Church. That was all they could say to this moment. The police, however, did not make public statements of the pastors, because she was convinced that this was the fruit of a hysterical, out of balance imagination. However, the event was of such great importance that the government took over the matter, which stated that since all this is connected with Christianity, it should be closed and suspended in its activity until the better understanding of the whole matter and the explanation of this mystery. all churches and religious gatherings. Since this case concerns all nations, it is necessary to take a common position here after a thorough examination of the matter by an extraordinary international assembly. Among the many Christians there was general depression. Yesterday, contrary to the ban, all churches and chapels were full, but some lacked superiors and many members. In some religious communities very few believers gathered, but many sympathizers were standing so far from the side; they were mostly those who had been unhappy because of the loss of their relatives and relatives. All gathered wanted to listen to the Word of God, but it was also taken away. Some tried to read something, but they did not understand it. So they would give the Bible to others who in their turn said they could not read it at all. Many people began to cry, others left the assembly disappointed by the lack of any noteworthy explanations. And those who came to the meeting to seek the help of God, went away to the greatest extent disappointed and unhappy. Most of the gatherings were in chaos and confusion everywhere. Standing somewhere to one side, the man with clenched fists shouted to the preacher, “It’s your fault that so many of us have remained. You never told us that Jesus would come soon and take you home.” And you told us less about the necessity of having the Holy Spirit and Now I know and see that what stopped me here were small things, but … God, be kind … “-” Calm down, “cried the preacher -” I think that I have done my duties to you. ” They were all knocking at the door, but it was closed. It is impossible to describe this situation. People felt that they were facing a terrible future. The terror was felt in the air, all hope was gone as the door was already closed. Now, however, people who were satisfied with saying empty Christian declarations and platitudes, or the summer way of life knocked on them. Some maintained contact with Christianity for social reasons, others because of their work or designated task. All of them, however, were unregenerate, without the inheritance of God, and thus without the right of inheritance. In a word, for many of them the life of the Church was just a kind of passion or a pleasant or the most appropriate way to spend free time. Now all of them knocked on the closed door, crying, “Lord, Lord, open to us.” To make matters worse, it began to talk about the possibility of an explosion at any moment of the great world war. The problem of rapture of Christians leads to quick reaction of the authorities, which, according to international agreements, forbade completely practicing and participating in any religious rites, forbidding under the penalty of death the mention of the name Jesus. Nations and countries were to be cleansed of all traces of Christianity and of all that is in the slightest resemblance…However, despite the prohibitions, a large number of the remaining Christians still called to God. They were arrested and sent to death after being interrogated with the most terrible tortures. “If you curse Jesus and deny Him, you can save your life!” there were proposals for many of them. They were before the choice of life or death. Thousands of these people persevered and did not deny Jesus, so they died en masse. They were no longer entitled to any defense. Woe to the earth and those who live on it. Among those arrested, there were also those who could not stand this test and gave up. The prince of this world has mastered the whole earth. According to Luke 21: 16-17, the relatives gave each other away, condemning them to death: “Parents and brothers, relatives and friends will be issued to you, they will even kill some of you, and you will then be hated by everyone by name mine “(Luke 21: 16-17) This can not be described. God, however, described it to John, saying that the cry of those unfortunate was: “Lord, shorten these days,” because all opposition meant death at that time, and the above provisions concerning Christianity began in various countries with varying degrees of intensity, oppression in the history of mankind. “Dear friend, do not risk that you could be left here, stand before the Almighty God, and ask for grace. Today is still time. Today you can still be counted among the children of God’s children as the property of Jesus. As a member of the living Church, and then – on the day when the Lord comes – you will go with others where Jesus will take his faithful followers. Olaf Rodge … He was a Jew, a Jewish dignitary, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, was arrested, and he came to Jesus at night and said: Master! We know that you came from God as a teacher; for no one could do such miracles that you do, if God were not with him. Answering to him, Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say to you, unless one is born again, he can not see the Kingdom of God. Nicodemus said to him, how can a man be born again when he is old? Can he re-enter his mother’s womb and be born again? Jesus answered: Verily, verily, I say to you, if anyone is not born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the Kingdom of God. For what is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that I told you: You must be born again. (John 3: 1-7)
