Chapter 10 ......
"Tell her about your experience," Jesse encouraged ~ ~ ~ Caleb shrugged, "I guess she's entitled to hear about it since she's willing to die helping me on a mission that is none of her concern." Diane pulled close and nodded for Caleb to continue. Caleb began, " I was on a deep space probe, alone as usual, I could feel the presence of something, I did not know what but the entire cockpit was filled with a warm glow of ~ of love. That is the best way I can describe it, a love that I had never felt before, it was different. Then I heard myself saying, "you're here! you're here with me aren't you?" ~ It was Alpha, the one I had only read about and prayed too but I had never been in his presence. I had never even considered the possibility of such ~ But he was there and I knew it. I began to feel a warmth and love that I had not experienced before, there wasn't room for anything else in my mind or body but this wonderful feeling. Then a very large and powerful being materialized before me ~ he was 7 feet tall, reddish blond hair, beautiful bronze complexion. He was clothed in a bright white robe that was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen and he had a large sword on his side that was gorgeous. I was so frightened, I collapsed to the floor face down. I couldn't look up. He said his name was Zenith and for me not to be afraid, he went on to say that Alpha had heard my prayer request. This marvelous messenger said that he had come from Alpha's Kingdom to show me this other world and explain how things were to be here on Epysia. As soon as I regained my composure he took me by the arm and at that very moment another magnificent being took my other arm ~ his name was Mobius. He was slightly smaller in size and just as beautiful. He too had a beautiful sword on his side. I could feel the Divine love radiating from these magnificent beings. They assured me I would be all right. "Just relax," they were going to show me another world that is much like the Ephysia Planetary Complex. We seemed to enter another dimension, then all at once there we were ~ on a planet called Earth! I don't know if I was really there or just dreaming. Whatever was happening ~ I was witnessing events that were being played out in my mind, like you would see them on a large screen television. They explained that Alpha's Son had been sent from the spiritual realm into the physical realm to this planet called Earth. It was all part of a divine plan to save Alpha's creation from destruction. The Son ~ Alpha II was sent here to live as a man for a very brief time to lead the lost children of Alpha back into the kingdom for which they were intended to inherit. There on Earth ~ Alpha is simply known as God and Alpha II is known as Jesus. They told this story that helped me to understand. It went something like this ~ ~ A man was sitting in his warm and comfortable home, watching a beautiful snow storm ~ suddenly several birds flew into his large window, falling dazed to the ground where they would surely freeze to death. He began putting on his boots to go out to help the birds ~ several more flew into the window as they could feel the warmth through the window. The little birds couldn't get anything to eat because the snow was too deep and it covered the seed. The pretty little birds frantically fluttered about ~ starving and freezing to death, this concerned man tried desperately to herd them into his barn where he could feed them and provide shelter. Of course they didn't understand and one by one they escaped into the driving snow where they would surely die. The man thought, " the only way I can save them is to become one of them and lead them into the barn." Which of course is impossible. That is what Alpha did ~ He sent his Son to Earth as a man ~ become one of them ~ live among them and lead them into the Kingdom of Heaven ~ which is what they were created for. Diane was amazed ~ ~ "How beautiful!" she cried. "Then what?" Caleb continued, "his son ~ Jesus ~ was killed in a very hideous fashion, they called crucifixion." Diane cried out, "Oh No! Why? If he was the Son of God, why did God allow it to happen?" Caleb went on to explain, "That was the plan, God is of the spiritual realm and the Kingdom is in the eternal spiritual realm. Therefore, Jesus died and re-entered the spiritual realm, where he had come from ~ that's where his teachings and sacrifice enable us to go. Without his supreme sacrifice we would not be able to enter God's Spiritual Kingdom." "WHY NOT" Diane begged. "Too much to cover here", Caleb dismissed the question, "another time." "Anyway, Zenith gave me this book, they called it a bible ~ it's like our Ancient Book of Alpha. " Caleb very carefully laid it on the table, "I've been studying it, it's quite interesting." "WOW! A book from another galaxy and it's in our language?" Diane was excited! Yeah, our language is almost identical ~ we're like a "mirrored" Earth. Caleb went on, "the more I read it, the more I realize what my mission is." "Who wrote the bible?" Diane asked. Caleb began ~ ~ "Well, there are two parts, the older part, called the old testament was written by people who were visited by God and his messengers, like Zenith and Mobius ~ These messages were given to these servants of God and they recorded them ~ these servants were called Prophets. That older part is like our Book of Law. you know it showed the people the proper way to live and how to conduct themselves in such a way that was pleasing to God but the people couldn't do it ~ they couldn't live according to the law, not enough self discipline or desire. Greed, lust and the desire to destroy others for personal gain was more than the citizens of Earth could live with. The Prophets were told by God that someday a savior would be sent to them to take away the sins of the world and change their hearts. They didn't realize it would be God's own son! They were looking for a rich and powerful ruler, one who would command armies to destroy their political enemies. Because the people were materialistic, they equated everything to a material world ~ money and power. The war was not with flesh and blood but with the unseen spirit world. So when Jesus came as a common man, teaching mankind how to change their hearts and minds he was rejected by most. He taught them to love each other ~ as a matter of fact if the commandment of love that he taught was observed, all of the other laws were not needed. Caleb continued ~ ~ The other part of the book is the new testament and that was written after Jesus was killed, it teaches their citizens how to combat the unseen rulers of the planet and enter the Kingdom of God, using the teachings of Jesus which are infallible." Jesus is still with the believers of Earth but in a spiritual sense. These same believers and followers are tested constantly by Mesmerizer and his fallen hoard of demons. It's called persecution! The "Christians" as they are called get strength from what they refer to as the "Holy Spirit" ~ which is of God. We call it the "Spirit of Alpha." ~ ~ ~ ~ An almost magical feeling permeated the air, they all agreed ~ God was there with them! ~ ~ ~ ~ |
