As Earth Churns…28. Enoch’s Room


            A knock on the door interrupted Enoch’s relaxation. “Enoch? It’s me, Rafael! God wants us now! You about ready?”

            Enoch reacted, “Thought He said we could rest and refresh awhile before reporting to Him?”

            “He did,” Rafael answered. “But that was over three hours ago.”

            “Oh! I must’ve dozed off,” Enoch said. “I was more exhausted than I realized. Be ready in just a moment.”

            Enoch exited his room, joined the angel reporter, and the two walked hastily toward the Throne Room.

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

In the beginning…11e. Earth Overlook: Day Six

Lucifer’s attention returned to the events at hand as some astonished expressions issued from the angelic spectators near Jesus. The commotion in the multitude calmed down quickly. “What’s happening now?” Raphael asked, leaning over the railing. Jesus returned his attention to Eden and explained, “One of the tasks God was performing as he had the animals parade by Adam and be named was that of searching for a suitable helper and mate for man. Apparently none was found that met God’s standards. So now he is going to Plan B; that is to create a female for Adam. Watch!” As though hearing his son clearly, God looked up to the Earth Overlook and seemed to explain to the gathered angels “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” All stared mesmerized as God placed a hand on Adam’s head. The man slumped gently to the ground. “He’s fainted,” someone suggested. “God’s killed him,” came as an accusatory snort from Lucifer’s group.

In the beginning...2a. Throne Room

Meanwhile, there was nothing leisurely about Jesus’ movements toward his destination. He raced over the bridge sliding down the ruby railing on the far side and bolted through the gate jumping up and touching the top of the golden arch that was all of 10 feel in the air. “Whoopee!” he exclaimed, as he dashed into the palace and charged up to the throne. He stopped abruptly, barely halfway through the large room; and, before speaking, he paused to survey his surroundings. Jesus never tired of staring admiringly at the area of the palace around the throne. After all it was only a short while since he had been in charge of the squad of skilled angels that assisted him in designing and building all he now surveyed. There was a sense of accomplishment and pride in the realization that his father trusted him with such a monumental task. He and the angels had built all this with their own hands. As usual Jesus had opted to do it without any omnipotence being used. God had expressed a fath
