…Farewell to loving wives and friends, the passengers show their tickets to the angel.
I’m entering the plane now along with the passengers
Oh yes, she is rechecking their tickets…
Welcome aboard Interworld Airlines, Flight F-I-N-A-L, nonstop supersonic service to the New Jerusalem, and I am your Chief Stewardess, the Angel of Mercy. You will find your seatbelt in Psalm 23. Fasten your seatbelts, please.
I am thy captain. The flight thou art making today is the same which Abraham, Moses, John, and all of those redeemed before have made. We shall be flying today at altitudes unlimited and at a speed never known to thee before. Flying time to the New Jerusalem is not considered, for thou are now in the realm known as Eternity, where Time is no more. As we left the Earth, the weather was stormy with heavy overcast, but the report from the New Jerusalem is, as it always will be, a beautiful day without a cloud.
