THE KING'S 12
Chapter 13

The King's remaining 11 got together for a farewell ceremony.

They voted to replace Jude with a man by the name of Matthias,

now they were twelve again. As soon as the IRS business was

taken care of, they were to go out into society, carrying the

"good news" about the Kingdom. They had no money, nothing would

distract them from the business at hand, no way for a government

agency to attach them or hinder them. They stayed as guests,

sponsored by the various ALPHA 2 support groups around the world.

Travel expenses were paid by the same. No salaries, no books to

keep, their only mission was to preach the good news and that,

they did very well! They worked miracles for the world to see.

Giving comfort, they taught those who were willing to learn how

to live to their fullest. Many citizens were receiving the spirit

of the Kingdom. Paul was writing for the ALPHA 2 support groups.

He kept them informed on each others progress while receiving

instructions from the Kingdom to pass along to the various

support groups.The same people who were responsible for ALPHA 2's

execution began hassling Paul. Paul would communicate in the

spirit almost constantly in order to receive enough strength

and power to continue his work. Paul wrote, "We are not fighting

against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons

without bodies, the evil rulers of the unseen world and the

great evil princes of darkness who rule this planet; and huge

numbers of evil spirits in the spirit world." Only the people

who had been born of the spirit understood what he was saying.

The rest of the world had been convinced that there was no

spirit world. "Funny how ALPHA works," one who had hated the

King and his 12 was now one of ALPHA 2's strongest soldiers

on earth. He longed constantly for the King to come back and

take them away to the Kingdom. The battle raged on. ALPHA 2

believers were being persecuted as the world had never seen

persecution. The King had told his people when he was on earth

with them, "All who love me will be hated by the world because

you are mine." Paul was eventually imprisoned. The leaders of

the system felt that if they could subdue him they could stop

the spiritual revolution. They framed him and put him in a cell

by himself so he couldn't convert anyone else to his way of

thinking. He continued to write and instruct his support groups

around the world. Somehow he managed to get his writings out to

his people. The great writer and reporter was dedicated, he kept

pumping out the instructions as he received them from the Kingdom.

This battle was of greater importance than any ever fought on the

battlefield with weaponry. The 12 also suffered tremendous

persecution. One by one they began to fall. Mesmerizer's agents

were rampant, very hostile, violent and dedicated to kill all who

professed love for ALPHA'S Kingdom. The magnificent 12 held true

to their faith. They could not be broken, They were very brave

and powerful. ALPHA 2's cousin, James, was one of the first to

engage the enemy. He was beheaded. He died as he had lived his

life, courageously! ALPHA 2's other cousin, John, (James' Brother)

was imprisoned on an island, later escaped and was the only one

to die a natural death. He like Matt left a written account of

ALPHA 2. He will always be remembered as one of the major authors

of an old and wonderful book. A book that teaches people about the

Kingdom. Nate, the doctor, a very proper and cultured gentleman

taught many of earth's citizens the ways of the Kingdom and brought

joy to as many. He was killed somewhere in or around India because

of his loyalty to ALPHA 2. Matt, the former tax auditor, turned

his pen towards recording ALPHA 2's brief life on the planet.

While doing this, he spread the word all over the Middle East

and parts of Northern Africa. He was a gallant man, he served

the Kingdom well and died a brave death that is too horrible to

mention here. Thomas, the carpenter was a practical, serious

minded sort. He fell to a lance on a hill in India where a church

bears his name. Philip, was hanged in an Asian city which was

devoted to a "great snake" idol. Andy, Pete's brother, had quite

an impact on Scotland, Greece and Russia. He was tortured and

crucified. Thad and Simon, worked together and at one meeting

converted 60,000 people. They died for the cause, killed by

stones and clubs. The murderers were of course driven by the

same force that was responsible for the death of all their

brothers. James, (the other James) was stoned to death.

Pete, the big fisherman, the one ALPHA 2 relied on so much,

was crucified upside down. He had traveled and taught extensively.

Pete died at about the same time and place as Paul. Matthias,

the one who replaced Jude was crucified. Paul, who wrote so

many books and worked so fervently for the Kingdom was eventually

beheaded. Mesmerizer and his agents were rolling. They had control

of the judicial system, law enforcement, politicians, law makers,

banking, the electronic news media and the press. What they didn't

have, they could get. Each elite member of this society thought they

were on the "inside" with special privileges. Then it all came

down. The system they had developed turned on them.
