Consider that you have been given prior notice that your Pauline tent is about to collapse in the vein of Hezekiah or Pharoh's cup-bearer (whose head was lifted up), not his baker (whose head was lifted off.)
1. What would your emotional response be to the knowledge that you would be gazing upon the glorious face of Jesus Christ and spending eternity in the presence of Father God within 30 minutes.
2. What (if not yet stated) would you do with that time?
Peace. |

I'd celebrate! I'd gather all my friends as quickly as I could, get a case of the best beer I could find and start passing them out.

From "Cyberbrethren":
"Thus, the beers of Luther’s era would have
been complex, highly flavored, possibly a tad sour and/or cloudy, and
would have varied in color, flavor, strength and quality."

'Cause, afterall, as the song says "In heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here."
