The Bible Palace

With the Holy spirit as my Guide, I entered this Wonderful Temple called the Bible.  I entered the portico of Genesis, walked down through the Old Testament Art Gallery, where pictures of Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob and Daniel hung upon the wall.  I passed into the music room of Psalms, where the Spirit swept the keyboard of nature and brought forth a dirge-like wail of the weeping prophet Jeremiah to the grand impassioned strain of Isaiah, until it seemed that every reed and pipe in God=s great organ of nature responded to the tuneful harp of David, the sweet singer of Israel.

I entered into the beautiful chapel of Ecclesiastes, where the Preacher=s voice was heard, and into the conservatory room of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley=s sweet-scented spices filled and perfumed my life.  I entered the business office of Proverbs, then into the observatory room of the Prophets, where I saw telescopes of various sizes, some pointed to far-off events, but all concentrated upon the Bright and Morning Star which was to rise above the moon-lit hills of Judea for our Salvation.

I entered the audience room of the King of Kings and caught a vision of His glory from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; passing on into the Acts of the Apostles, where the Holy Spirit was doing His work in forming the Infant Church.  Then into the correspondence room, where sat Saints Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude penning the letters.  I stepped into the throne room of Revelation where all towered in glittering peaks, and I got a vision of the King sitting upon His throne in all His glory and I cried:

All Hail the power of Jesus name!
Let angels prostrate fall; 
Bring forth the royal diadem, 
And crown Him Lord of all!

- Billy Sunday
