Messiah
It happened so quickly, I didn't even see the truck run the red light. All I remember is it coming towards us. I slowly open my eyes and I'm greeted by a man wearing an all white three-piece suit. He had red hair cut in a business mans style and big jade green eyes. He smiled at me and introduced himself as Raphael, the angel of Healing and a guardian of Eden. He told me that I was in Shehaqim, the third level of heaven, the place that holds the Garden of Eden and the tree of life.
"My name is Messiah," I said in a quivering voice.
"I know who you are, I've been waiting for you." Raphael said in a pleasant tone.
"So you know the meaning of my birth and my purpose here?"
"Yes but there are a few things I must tell you first." He said while taking my hand.
We walked through a beautiful garden then into an immaculate Victorian style house. Once we were inside I noticed that the room was full of men, all dressed the same. He gave a quick introduction, by telling me their names and that they, like he, were all guardians of Eden.
He explained that God usually takes a leave of absence every so many centuries, but this time he's been gone for far too long. Due to that two theories have been circulating. One that God is bored with heaven and that the only thing needed to bring him back would be some disturbance and drama amongst the seven levels of heaven. The second is that he has left us permanently and a new leader needs to stand up and take control.
Now those sitting in with us today believe in the latter due to the amount of drama already going on. They all new of my coming and decided that I had what it took to become the new ruler of heaven. They said because I was full of love and logic that I was the perfect host. They told me that if I was able to get enough supporters that out numbered those that believe God will come back, that those at the top will step down with out any casualties.
After many weeks of discussing and debating the best strategies we decided to call a massive gathering to show support for me. We planned to make a stand tomorrow at daybreak. That's when I found out about my greatest challenge. There was a man that believed that God would come back if a massive spectacle were to take place. That spectacle would be the slaughtering of those that opposed Gods return.
They told me this man was fearless and hardheaded. That he wouldn't listen to any ones opinion. He said that his only mission was to rock the heavens and make God return. I trembled at the thought of meeting him. I was not into violence, it wasn't in my nature. Like my mom I was full of logic and passion for life in all forms.
