As Earth Churns…27b. The Throne Room

Several hours later the narrative, mainly delivered by God and Jesus, was concluded by Michael. “So you see, with every inclination of the thoughts of men’s hearts being evil all the time, the Father is deciding the fate of mankind.”

“The fate of mankind?” Enoch asked.

God stated seriously, “I am trying to decide whether to destroy everyone and everything and start from scratch or if perhaps there still lies the possibility of salvaging mankind.”

Rafael took up the monologue, “So the Father wants me to investigate the situation and report back to Him what I discover with recommendations and suggestions.”

Gabriel chimed in, “It’s one of those times when God has chosen NOT to entirely rely on His omniscience.”

“That’s right,” stated Jesus. “And He thought that Enoch might enjoy accompanying Rafael on his mission of discovery.”

God continued, “So, what do you say Enoch? Are you up for a little adventure including a return trip to your homeland on earth?”

“Wow! You bet!” Enoch voiced exuberantly. “That sounds exciting! Will I get to see my children and grandchildren?”

Jesus answered, “Yes, you will. It’s all been arranged. Rafael will fill you in on the details. The two of you will be accompanied by Michael and a few of his angel warriors as well as Zerub, who will act as messenger between your group and heaven.”

“Just one question,” said Enoch.

“Sure, ask anything,” Jesus answered.

Enoch stated thoughtfully, “Why are the warrior angels necessary?”

Michael responded, “That’s a good question. It’s because Satan and his forces are still basically in charge of the realm of earth. They all remain disguised and seek to waylay any unsuspecting humans or angels. The Beast will think twice about bothering any group accompanied by my troops.”

Rafael questioned the human, “Enoch, how long will it take you got ready to leave?”

Enoch’s immediate answer was, “I’m ready now!”

“Then what are we waiting for?” Michael interjected. “Let’s go!”

Jesus turned to Rafael, “Then we’ll expect your timely reports.”
Enoch pondered, “How long do we have?”

God answered this time, “As long as it takes for you to fully discover how great man’s wickedness on the earth has become.”

With that the group disembarked from the Throne Room heading out the door. Their destination was the Earth Overlook.

As Earth Churns...33.The Throne Room

  [Author’s Note: It’s been over 2.5 months since I last published an episode in this serial book blog. Hopefully this will put me back on track. Procrastination has always been one of my greatest achievements.  Laurel Dunn Burton contributed to this episode.]   The Father and Son stood in the middle of the Throne Room. Jesus was speaking, “Father, didn’t Raphael do a marvelous job announcing and then reporting on the opening of the Bark Park?”             “He did at that!” God replied. “Enoch was pleased to see not one, but two front page articles all about his Canine Creation.”             “I’ll bet Sam enjoyed playing with all the other dogs,” Jesus added.             “I’m sure he did,” God stated. “Now, Son, what do you say we continue our conservation about that NEXT BIG THING?”             “You mean about Noah, the Ark, and the obliteration of most of the people and animals living on the Earth?” Jesus inquired.             “That’s right. It’s about time we finalized

As Earth Churns…30. The Planning Room

Gabriel looked at his fellow worker and said, “Jesus, how long’s it been since your Father assigned us this task? Seems like forever.” “No, not forever,” Jesus alleged, “just several centuries. What’s the latest from Raphael and the Discovery Team? I haven’t read the Heavenly Herald in quite some time.” Gabriel straightened eagerly, “I make time to read it every day. No wonder you don’t with all we’ve been working on…the boat, the animal list, and your rainbow idea. I never thought this whole project would be so complicated.” “I know what you mean, Gabe; but the Father wants this all done right. We’re just about ready to report our ideas to Him. What do you think?” Gabriel stated excitedly, “I say let’s do it!” Equally elated, Jesus said, “Okay, I’ll let Him know we want a conference as soon as is convenient.” [to be continued]

As Earth Churns…27a. The Throne Room

God and Jesus sat in the Throne Room in deep discussion with Michael, head of the angel army, and several other key angels including Gabriel, Allen, and Rafael. Suddenly the door banged open and in rushed messenger angel Zerub with Enoch in tow. They were both breathing heavily as though they had been racing for quite a distance. The new arrivals hurried forward and stopped before the Father’s throne standing rigidly at attention. Zerub was the first to speak nearly shouting  between breaths, “Messenger Angel Zerub and human Enoch reporting as ordered, Sir!” The Father responded, “ I believe the term in earth lingo of the future is, ‘At ease.’ Rafael, it seems that article you wrote in the Heavenly Herald about military traditions among mankind of the future has caught on.” “In my defense may I say it was Michael’s idea,” Rafael stated. Michael retorted, “I just wanted to know about earth armies of the future. I asked Jesus to use his omniscience to share some military
