SCENE 6
HARRY: I guess it's back to reality for us.
ALL: (all groan)
HARRY: At least we don't have to face lions and furnaces!
JAY: Yeah, but tomorrow at lunch, I'm not sure where I'll sit …
EMMA: And so-called friends that don't act like friends …
DAISY: And the pressure about my grades …
POPPY: Yeah, reality's not so great sometimes.
AHUNI: But remember the treasure you received … the same God who
was there to save Daniel, and Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego is always there to save you. You can trust God just
like they trusted God, because you know who is on the throne!
Abdi, what if you gave them a little glimpse into the future?
ABDI: May I borrow your Bible, Daisy?
DAISY: Sure. (She hands her the Bible.)
AHUNI: There was another worshipper of the one true God who got a
glimpse into the future … I don't think it involved a VR
headset, but somehow God allowed the Apostle John to see the
new heavens and the new earth … the eternal future and
ultimate reality.
ABDI: This is from Revelation 21 … John saw the resurrected Jesus
on the throne, saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now
among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his
people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will be no
more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of
things has passed away."
JAY: I can't wait to get to that level!
DAISY: I guess the next level of this journey will have to wait until
tomorrow after school … I gotta go get my homework done!
