Blackness and Fire

Now as it came to me in a night dream ...was the earth on fire ...and the stones did melt ...and the houses of men were seen ....yea those of unworthy wrath ....houses of anger ...and houses of foolishness ...believing of the world ....and the earth was consumed with fire ...and the molten stones ...did flow as it lava ...moving and consuming as it rose up from the bowels of the earth ...and all fled from the rising of it ...and panic was in the hearts of the worldly ...and they did cry out how can one escape ...? how can one escape ? And it was quickened in me to help ...and I ran amongst the molten rocks and showed as best I could the way among the paths of green grass ...that these might be safe ...and some did pay close heed to stay on the grass path and to make their way from danger ...yet many started out on the path of green grass ...yet by their own thinking did seek other ways that they might be safe ...on paths that they themselves saw and thought to be safe ...and these did flee to place that appeared to them to be safe ...yet was not ...and they waited there ...yet were consumed of the fire ...and did perish ...for there was but one safe way to go ...and that was the paths of green grass ...Now it came to pass that I perceive ...yee there were others left behind ...and mainly daughters and wives ...and these did stay in their houses ...and would not come out ...and I was given to go back and help them ...for fear they would be consumed ...I found them in their houses and did say to them ...though you think you be safe within your own house ...look see ...look see ...every house ...every each one is struck with fire ...and none shall be left whole ...still and even did some refuse ...and few did at the last gather up to take directions along the grassy path ...and of those that were willing ...the older and the wives did go first ...yet the younger and the maidens were more fearfull ...till at last ...the path of green grass was fading away ...within the consuming fire ...and I feared for these at the last for they had no path to follow ...and had then to go through the flames ...yet the flames would comsume them and they would not live ...Yet Behold it came to me that these must cover themselves with the blackest tar ...that they might make it through the fire ...and these young and daughters did chide with me saying ...nay for the tar is a unpleasant thing to put on ourselves and it will catch fire and we will burn ...to this I said ...yes the tar will burn ...yet not you ...and if along the way you jump in the pools of water that are left ...it will put out the fire of the black tar and cool your flesh ...and so in this way you can make your way to your kindsmen who are safe afar off in the place of green grass ...but and nevertheless if you go now without being covered with the tar ...though it might burn ...yet can be quenched in the waters ...if you go without doing this thing ...you shall surely perish ...and some did run ..with out the tar and ...in an instant were they consumed ...and vanished ...now at the seeing of this did the others begin to cover themselves with tar ..and that very thickly ...and as the first did run now covered with tar ...did she burst into flames but was not hurt ...and did jump in the waters ...and was comforted ...and so they went from pool to pool of waters ...untill reaching their kindsfolk who had gotten there in the safe place before them ....
