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…22a. East of Eden

As Jesus was proceeding toward his rendezvous with Cain, Anak and Dagon, two of Lucifer’s most trusted compatriots, were reporting on a similar mission. “So how are those precocious juveniles these days?” Satan inquired of his henchmen. Dagon responded quickly, “It’s very interesting, Boss. Cain is working the soil. As we suspected he’s become a farmer. He doesn’t spend a lot of time on other stuff like meditation about God or conversation with his brother. In fact those boys don’t seem to get along much at all; and most of that is Cain’s doing.” “Abel raises sheep,” Anak interrupted, “and he is always thinking about God and singing and praying. His communication is open and seems to really irritate his brother.” “That’s interesting,” replied Lucifer. “It would seem that Cain just might be reachable for our cause.” “You mean turn him to our side?” asked Anak. Dagon interjected, “To our dark side!” “That’s precisely what I mean. Listen men, here’s what we’re...

In the beginning…13f. Eden

Then God took a step toward the woman; Adam moved slightly to one side so as to not be a partial shield any longer. Eve fell to her knees with head down and arms clasped; she shook violently in a cold shiver fearing the worst. Surely her short lifespan had come to an end because of her foolish indulgence. These thoughts raced through her mind in a split second’s time. She didn’t have long to wait. “Eve,” the Creator’s tone was remarkably comforting as though He knew He would get no pleasure from what He was about to decree, “I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” A sigh of relief seemed to emanate from the woman cringing in the dust as she realized God’s wrath, if such it was, had now shifted to her husband. To Adam God spoke, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’ Cursed is the groun...

Part One: In the beginning…1. Heaven

          As was his custom for one so full of enthusiasm and energy, Jesus came skipping and whistling down the gold-paved boulevard almost colliding with Michael and Gabriel. Those two angels who were having a conversation just inside the sapphire and pearl gates near the bridge over the River of Life. “Whoa! Watch it, young fellow!” cautioned Michael laughingly. “Sorry,” apologized Jesus. “What’s the hurry?” questioned Gabriel. “Gotta see my father over by the throne. See you guys later.” The angels mumbled a hurried farewell as Jesus scurried away, humming a favorite tune. Michael reflected, “That kid. He’s always going someplace in a hurry as though there weren’t time enough to see it all and do it all.” “Yeah,” replied Gabriel. “And he’s always humming or whistling. You know, he really sings marvelously, too. The angel chorus is glad he has so much interest in that hobby. You know Allen, the choir leader, was just commenting on the S...
