In 1985 Our Lord took me to Heaven, though this is so long ago now....you might say it is not relevant for today...but since we are so close to our Rapture...it is more significant in this present time frame than what it was 27 years ago.


The Judgement Day of the Shepherds

I was standing next to our Father..on his right hand side...He was seated on a golden throne...then He stood up....He emanated the most merciful, tender, pure, holy Love which saturated my entire being...I have no words to describe His Heart because this fallen limited language cannot.

before us stretched a huge, parched plain with tufts of dry grass.. this desolate plain was shrouded with a canopy of grey clouds, it was a gloomy day. A single file of male believers as far as the eye could see...walked silently and solemnly a narrow path on that plain that lead up to His Throne.. 

He spoke to me in the most tender, sorrowful voice and said..."This is the Judgement Day of the Shepherds"

I watched silently as each shepherd stood before Him..

to every one He asked the same question......"Why didn't you visit her? I asked you to visit her".. ..none replied, not a word was spoken..but each hung head so low in the deepest shame and sorrow....then turned and walked back the way they came, until the next shepherd stood before Him, and the next and the next..as He asked the same question...

as I was standing with Him...I melted at the purity and innocence of His Heart, so tender and compassionate but so deeply sorrowful...I was in awe of Him......there is no darkness in Him...He has no comprehension of evil...does not understand it...neither He understood the shepherds...He was so grieved for them...and deeply grieved for me...my Lord..


He remained close to me for many days after...

I understood I represented many of His ones, as I stood next to Him that Day in Heaven

I wondered...how could a pastor visit each member of his congregation?...of course it was not about that.

the Hebrew of "visit"...is to care for,to nurture, to feed .... to lay down one's own life as our Lord did

"if you love Me..feed My sheep' 

I understood the grassless plain those shepherds walked represented their own spiritual condition i.e. wantonness of His Truth...because they had not died to 'self"...and were feeding His sheep from the well of their own "selves"....they had not died to their own limited understanding and own opinions...in order to receive His Understanding and His Opinion ....which is the only one that counts.


if you love Me...follow My example in death...death to the old heart, to all own wants, all own desires, death to the fallen, darkened, limited mind where "self" is seated.


 He let me to see and to feel His Heart in the Judgement of His Shepherds...it was a most tender yet hurtful judgement for our Father....I have been deeply impressed by this for 27 years now.


John 10:14-16
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

In His Kindness,
Anna Maria
