Vision of Behold and I Saw

The Vision of Behold and I Saw!

By: Minister Goldie M. Kolenda

[NOTE: Please see the passages at the end of this article for a special surprise]

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith GOD, that I will pour out of my Spirit on
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, and your young men shall see
visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." [Acts 2:17]

Vision Number 1

I will begin by saying what the Apostle Paul said when he was caught up into the third
heaven: "…whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell; GOD knoweth"
[2 Corinthians 12:3].

Whether `in' or `out' of the body, I had been transported to the edge of a city. It was
evening and I was standing in the dark on the last street of that large city. Before me lay a
vast stretch of barren fields, and beyond the fields I saw the skyline of another city. It
had tall skyscrapers, large and beautiful factory buildings, schools, and homes.

All the while, I stood there viewing the city, I was conscious of the presence of others
around me. However, the LORD did not let me see them. Also, I was made to realize that it was
the Voice of the Spirit of the LORD behind me, giving me the understanding of what I was

seeing.

Vision Number 2

As I stood viewing the distant city, the sky was suddenly illuminated. I looked up quickly
to see what was happening. There I saw three candlesticks. They were not only huge and tall,
but they seemed to reach up from the top of the buildings and halfway into the sky.

Each candle had a flame that was encircled by seven stars (Revelation 1:20). The whole sky
around these candlesticks was illuminated by this very brilliant display of light. I watched
this scene until it faded from my sight, and the sky became dark once again.

Vision Number 3

It seemed but a few seconds when to my right the sky was suddenly all-aglow with this brilliant
light. I turned to look and saw multitudes of men, women, and children. Every one of them had their
heads uplifted and their eyes turned heavenward. At that same moment I heard the Voice of the
LORD say,

"They are expecting JESUS to return."
"They are waiting and watching for Him".

"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh. [Luke 21:28]

"… and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto
Salvation" [Hebrews 9:28].

Vision Number 4

Just as suddenly as in the previous visions, the sky was aglow with a celestial light again. This
time it brought into view the city I had seen at a distance. My attention was centered on the large,
beautiful, factory building. I had seen this one at the beginning.

Behind the city, there appeared a huge mountain like a cloud in the sky. From behind this cloud,
there slowly arose three bears. They continued to rise until the front paws of each bear rested over
the top of the cloud. At this point of the vision I heard the Voice of the LORD say these words:

"Communism Slowly Creeping Up On Us."

At the same time, the bears were rising from behind the clouds, I saw four men rising out of the top of
the factory building. They moved toward me, and as they did, they seemed to be magnified to many times
their size. This made it possible for me to identify them as the working class from the factory. They
were clothed in work clothes and carried dinner pails, shovels, picks, and toolboxes. One of them
had a miner's hat with a light attached to it. The men vanished as soon as I had identified them.

But that was not the end; for I saw many of these men, armies of them, swarm in and around this factory.
Everyone had been given arms, weapons of war. A terrible, bloody battle took place around this factory
until all that could be seen was a mass of smoke and flames.

All during this battle the three bears were watching from their place behind the cloud. A very satisfied
expression was on their face. They were pleased to see what was taking place.

All at once everything came to an abrupt end. The fighting ceased, the men disappeared, and the three bears vanished.
All that was left was the crumbled ruins of what once was a beautiful factory building.

The Spirit lifted after this vision and for a few moments I lay there on my bed, trying to put together what I had seen,
and watching the lights flash on our bedroom wall as the cars hurried swiftly by our home and down the highway.

Vision Number 5

Suddenly I was caught away in the Spirit again. This time I was transported over to one of the buildings in that distant
city. The building was very wide but not so deep. I discovered as I entered the building that part of it was used
for a theater. It was packed to capacity. Everyone was so taken up with what was being flashed on the screen that they
did not notice me nor those with me.

We passed through the lobby and into the other part of the building. This part was not completed yet. One wall and the
roof were missing. As I looked through these openings there suddenly appeared in the sky a body of people, countless in
number and all seated, as it were, in a massive choir loft. Some of them the LORD allowed me to recognize. I must say, I
have never seen such happy faces. Words cannot describe the contentment and peace written all over their countenance.
Then I heard the Spirit speak these words:

"This Is My Church, The Called-Out Ones."

Vision Number 6

I left the building I was in and turned toward the theater lobby. I could not help being impressed by the fact that so
much was happening in the sky; yet, those in the theater were so engrossed in carnal, earthly things that they were not
aware of those heavenly visitations.

As I was making my way back through the lobby, I saw a young girl making her way toward me. She had left her seat in the
theater, and I could see the tears as they streamed down her cheeks. Again, I heard the Voice of the LORD speak:

"There Is Still Time!
It Is Not To Late As Yet!
(And emphatically the Spirit repeated it),
"There Is Still Time To Get Saved."

I spoke to the girl about being born of the Water and the Spirit. (Acts 2:38). She was ready to obey the Word of GOD
I had given her, so I left her with another person who would counsel her further and in the twinkling of an eye; I was at
the edge of the city where I had been at the beginning of my vision.

Vision Number 7

Once again my attention was drawn to the sky. This time I saw a huge picture frame. In it was the portrait of a man. He was
very handsome, clean-cut, a very dignified looking man. He appeared to be quite young. I would say perhaps in his late 40's
or early 50's.

Not being able to recognize him, and knowing the LORD showed me this for some purpose, I kept enquiring of those with me,
"Who is this? Do you know him? Who is he?" But none was able to tell me his identity. Quickly my thoughts went to the Bible
Verse found in [2 Thessalonians 2:1-8] I especially refer to verse 8.

Although the spirit of iniquity is now in the world, and is already working in this world, it is a "mystery of iniquity"
and few people recognize it. But there is coming a day when that "wicked one" is to be revealed. He is also called "that
lawless one." Then the LORD will consume him with the Spirit of His mouth, and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
He Will Be Revealed In His Time!

Vision Number 8

From then on things happened rapidly. The buildings I had seen in the distance seemed to have been set on wheels. I saw them
passing with great speed into the darkness - out of sight. I saw it as a passenger train in the night. All one was able to
see was the lights in the windows of each car that indicated how swiftly it was passing into "NO WHERE." Here once more I
heard the Spirit of the LORD saying:

"The Things Of The Earth Are Swiftly Passing Away!"
"Swiftly Passing Away!"

The last three words were spoken with great emphasis.

Suddenly I heard a shout! The sound of a TRUMPET! It was strange, for I heard it with my ears but it was coming
from my innermost being! My hands flew up toward heaven, my head raised upward and gravity lost its hold. I felt the
quickening power of the Holy Spirit and my whole being was lifted from the earth - caught up in the air, rising over the
buildings, the treetops.
Here my vision ended.

It was daybreak. I lay there with the power of GOD surging through my body. I have no idea of how long this lasted but
finally I began to feel peculiar sensations in my left arm, right at the elbow. At first, it was just a small spot.
Then the spot began to increase until it covered my whole body. It was then that I realized that what I was feeling was the
weight of my flesh body. In the Spirit, there is no weight.

I trust as you have read my experience, you may have been more aware of the day in which we live, and the soon coming of
the LORD. If we are to be ready when He comes, we must, as the Word of GOD says, be baptized in the NAME of the LORD
JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION of the sin Adam brought upon all of the human race, then you shall receive the Holy
Spirit that NEW LIFE, the Resurrection Life.

If I may, I would like to suggest that you read the Book of Acts. In it you find the account of the plan of salvation as
the Apostles preached it.

There are eight parts to this vision. It was given to me in the wee hours of the morning, just before the breaking of dawn.
The date was [September 25, 1946]

This vision I related to you was published in the Religious Broadcast, the magazine edited and published by my husband,
Pastor Ernest J. Kolenda, in the [November 1946] issue. Our reason for reprinting the vision now after so long a time is
two-fold: First, because we have received requests for the copy, and second, we felt that since this vision was given
so many years ago it might be of interest for many to see how much prophecy has been fulfilled. This is especially
true when one considers how little was heard about communism and union activities in 1946.

[NOTE from Brother Kolenda: This is told in Goldie Kolenda's own words. I do not know what year she wrote this copy of
the vision. This is the reason for the words in the ending paragraph of the article. We wanted it to be in her words
so we left it just as is]

[About the Author: Goldie Kolenda was the wife of Ernest Kolenda for 64 years. She went home to be with the LORD.
She was a Godly Woman, loved the LORD with all her heart, and dedicated her life to the teaching of the Word. She left
behind many great writings along with great notes in her study notebook and in her Bible. She is still helping in the
ministry today even though she ran her race and now as Brother Kolenda so eloquently said, "She is hob knobbing with
royalty while I am still having to race on. She is really missed by all who knew and loved her on this earth.]

Since this article has so much about communism, we dedicate this newsletter to Brother Reggie and his family and ask that
you remember them in your prayers. This is something he could really tell you about. If you would like to have a link to see
what life in Cuba is really like email me at Sylvia@egospel.com and I will send you a link. Also if you need any translation
work done please let us know. We can put you in touch and he will translate English, Spanish, and French. He is very
trustworthy as well.

How much truth does it take to go to heaven?

May GOD Richly and Abundantly Bless You All,

Your Minister and Apostle of Revelation Truth

Come with me on a journey of the mind for a moment. There is a Minister coming to town and he or she is
going to open the Word of GOD and begin to teach the truth. This person is going to cause them to
understand. Entrance tickets will go on sale in five days. You turn on the TV and see people camped out in
tents waiting excitedly for tickets to get into this great event. The heat is over powering, conditions on
the hot concrete unbearable yet they stay the entire time to keep their place in line.

Now on the day of the teaching, we see the traffic lined for miles to get onto the grounds. People are
actually enjoying this sacrifice. Oh, how they have looked forward to this day. By the thousands they come.
There are so many vehicles that an off ramp of gravel has to be built to help ease the traffic flow. They are
willing to pay highly inflated prices along the way for food, drink, and other necessities for the event. Some
have even brought campers and plan to stay on the grounds so they will not miss one minute of this great truth
teaching. At another building where the truth is being taught, people are lined up for blocks in the rain and
heat to get into the building. Does this vision feel you with joy?

There is only one thing wrong with this picture.

These things are happening. Sadly what changes is this, the campers are waiting for football tickets. Traffic to
the grounds are for a weekend rock concert on a farm. The long lines are for a movie about witchcraft. One person
in a tent waiting said she gave up a family gathering for July 4 to wait for football tickets.

Did you really think that people would endure hardship to hear the truth of GOD'S Word? These worldly things
will pass away and soon be gone. For a moment of thrills, a price far beyond sacrifice and money is being paid.

Had this been the truth of GOD'S Word that was being taught it would have filled them and lasted throughout
eternity. Anyone that has ever read history knows what this mentality will bring on the people.

Do you wonder what it would be like to see dedication like this to the true Word of GOD?

Your Minister of Helps
