CHURCH TWILIGHT ZONE – THE VANISHING MARRIAGE
You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind and heart. It’s a journey into a wondrous land and a Kingdom beyond the imagination. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It leaves no middle ground between light and shadow, between religion and superstition, and it lies between the heights of man’s emotion and the summit of his heart. This goes beyond the dimension of imagination…WELCOME TO THE CHURCH IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE…
Today’s episode deals with the power of time travel and the mystery of the past and the future in our present. Our story surrounds the lives of a retired Pastor and his wife; Henry and Hazel Smith. It seems that Henry and Hazel came upon, quite unexpectedly, a time warp machine on their little farm outside of southwest Ohio. The Smith’s were married in 1913 and were celebrating their 50th Anniversary and were just talking about how nice it would be to be able to go back 50 years in time to relive their happy marriage all over again. This is when they stumbled upon the time warp machine.
But instead of going backward in time, they were sent into the future; to the year 2013.
WHAT THEY FOUND TERRIFIED THEM! They discovered that marriage had been redefined and that the one man/one woman concept was no longer what made a marriage. To their dismay, they found that adultery and divorce was commonplace and was bearly questioned, even among Christian people. It appeared that a normal happily married couple was almost non-existent because so many things had splintered the family. They could not believe what they were seeing and experiencing from the future.
They found that technology had bypassed anything they had ever imagined. They were amazed to find that nearly every home had one of those new things called a television, but now televisions were the central part of the home. They were huge and in bright full color instead of being a small little black and white screen sitting in the corner. But what they saw on these new was even more shocking. They found that television went from 3 channels to view, to over 300 to view!
However, they were appalled by what was being shown. Marriage was attacked constantly, while, at the same time, an “alternate lifestyle” with open sexual immorality was protrayed as completely normal. They discovered that “gay” no longer meant happy. They found that the brightest, most intelligent, and most popular people in America were these “gay” people, and that the worse people in America were those mindless, bigoted Christians, with their hateful ways found in the Bible. The Smith’s couldn’t believe what they were seeing! “Is this the future of our Nation?”, Henry asked his wife Hazel. “Do you understand what this means to our children and grandchildren?” They both began to weep…
The Smith’s were terrified by what the time warp machine had shown them. They were horrified by what America had become in the year 2013. What could they do? How could they change the direction that America was heading?
It was in June of 2013 when the Smith’s sat in front of one of those full color televisions and heard the announcement of the Supreme Court Ruling regarding “Gay Marriage” – the News Reporter was about to bring the breaking news live from Washington, D.C., when suddenly the Smith’s were teleported back 50 years to their living room in that small farm house. There they stood, wrapped in each other’s arms – staring at a small black and white television in the corner…
Suddenly, they both knew what to do, without even saying anything to each other. Henry bolted to the closet and pulled out his shotgun, while Hazel carried that little black and white television out to the backyard – and that retired pastor lifted the shotgun up, took an aim for that small screen and put that television “out of its misery”.
It was then they realized they had just experienced the “Church In The Twilight Zone”
Think about it.
