FROM THE MANDALA SERIES: Parting the Waters She stood upon the watery canopy, suspended above the earth and poised to deliver her Son, the King. The water, flowing blue and purple, tinged with the blood of the Lamb, began to separate and swirl about her feet. Through the scattered openings in the floodwaters that separated the people from the Glory, the “Mother of us all” [Gal. 4:26] gazed upon the land below. As in the days of Noah, Jesus had said, the people will live out their days eating and drinking and marrying, unable to discern the seasons or the times. Sadly, many of the people of the earth did not seem to be looking up for the signs so abundant in the heavens. Even so, the floodgates had opened and the flow from the river of Life poured forth with greater intensity each day. The Mother stood upon the clouds watching and waiting for the entrance of her Son for the third and last time to claim his Kingdom. He would soon burst forth with all of the glory and majesty of his Father, clothed with the royal robe of righteousness that neither soldier nor man of might could tear from his back. --Copyright 2007 Dell Belew
