The Battlefield - The Town

Having returned from my feet to a sitting position I spun round,  but my eyes did not see Him instead I saw a grand town and returning to my feet I followed him as he walked towards the town.

The town I had seen before in many impression though I did not know that it was in this place.  Originally it had not been here and once again my mind was racing with many images of the past trying to make sense of all that I was seeing.

'This is the same town you saw though you did not know it was part of this place'  He said 'Yet it is.  The town you saw was this place before the vision you saw of the battlefield.  The battlefield is the future of the town when it will be ultimately destroyed what you saw was the town at the very start of it's destruction in all it's physical splendour.  The town you see know is the town before that town.  Not so physically grand but at the height of it's spiritual grandour.  you are here to know and understand not only the fall of the town but witness it's ultimate destruction.

Jesus was saying all of this to me and I was trying to pay close attention to actually what he was saying though my mind was continually distracted by the new images around me.  I struggled to actually realise what it was exactly I was seeing.   I tried to take it all in but I couldn't,  I looked at him and he gave a look to me that said he knew I couldn't and he understood.  Still he wouldn't acknowledge anything in any depth even though by now I was giving off a very puzzled look, my way of screaming 'help'.

Come see for youself, you must see what I have to show you for yourself and not just listen to what I have to say.

By now we were in a very large old English market town, I know not how old it was.  It at the same time was far older then I could know yet felt far more modern than I could see.  It was very simple far simpler than the image I had seen before yet I knew it was the same place, in that place it was a city with higher buildings.  The buildings here were quite a bit smaller yet to my confused eyes were much grander than what they would become, place imitations of themselves and gave of a very old fashioned feel.   The decor was far from being modern though that's exactly what I saw.  The paint was fresh, the walls were new the deocor looked fresh like it has almost been dressed the day before especially for me.  The roads were paved with small stones that looked like they had been very precisely laid to the centremetre with great care by a master builder for as far as the eye could see.  There was a handful of what can only be described as very rustic looking people in old fashioned dress, they went about their daily business as though I wasn't even there, alongside a wide road in the middle of which were many small trees up to 10 feet high surrounded by metre or two  square patches of grass with a very ornate border laid around each one.  These stretched as far as the eye could see along the road and occassionally the trees were broken up by statues of similar sizes to the trees that although they looked very impressive from those that I could see clearly from where I stood.
