A Red Carpet Event
This is the red carpet. A red carpet event!
Many have come to enjoy the spectacle. They will not be disappointed.
This way is covered in blood, my blood, the blood of sacrifice. The blood has dried, but it is bright red. It cannot be worn away. My blood covers it forever.
And then it is red from spilt wine. The result of turbulent celebration. A party in the presence of the multitude. My joy overflows in the presence of the enemy.
Zechariah 9:15-17 The Lord of hosts shall defend and protect them; and they shall devour and they shall tread on [their fallen enemies] as on slingstones [that have missed their aim], and they shall drink [of victory] and be noisy and turbulent as from wine and become full like bowls [used to catch the sacrificial blood], like the corners of the [sacrificial] altar. And the Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of His people, for they shall be as the [precious] jewels of a crown, lifted high over and shining glitteringly upon His land. For how great is God’s goodness and how great is His beauty! And how great [He will make Israel’s] goodliness and [Israel’s] beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive and fresh wine the maidens.
Stay afloat, I am floating. But you will do more than float. You must stand on that which which would cause others to sink.
Step into this stream, walk into the deep, until you are over your head.
For when it is over your head, and you feel overwhelmed. It is a sign of my promise. What is true? I said when you pass through the waters they will not overwhelm you, so they must part for you.
Do you now see why you need no safety net!
You must rise above that which is impassible for others.
Called to a new level. You were made to transcend boundaries.
