Friends,
I looked beyond the Gate and it was wilderness and wasteland. I asked the Rider if the Road was habitable for those that traveled it, for many that I know were phisically unable to travel a wastland or desert. The Rider answered and said to me,
"The wilderness and wasteland shall be glad for them that travel the Road,
And the desert shall rejoice and blossem as the rose;
It shall blossem abundantly and rejoice,
Even with joy and singing.
They shall see the Glory of the Lord,
They shall see God strengthen the weak hands,
And make firm the weak knees.
Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will restore you,
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Then the lame shall leap like the deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness.
And streams in the desert.
The partched ground shall become a pool,
There shall be grass with seeds and rushes.
A Highway shall be there, and a Road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
Whoever walks the Road,
Shall not go astray.
No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
But those that Overcome shall walk there,
And the Ransomed of The Lord shall return,
And come with singing
With everlasting joy on their heads.
And they shall obtain joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
