TWICE SHARPENED

Watching from the archives, the small group of friends once again witnessed the defeat and casting out of Lucifer and all those under him. It was a war of monumental proportions. Soon the barrier to Heaven stretched across the Universe; the quarantine of the cancer was thorough. Observing the details of their harrowing deception and banishment brought a sense of sadness to the group. Lucifer, along with all those under his authority, now existed in the Pit of the earth. Sitting in darkness, there were those who wouldn’t have fallen had it not been for his calculated lies and manipulations. We were slaves without hope. The scene moved to the private throne room where THE FATHER and THE WORD were formulating their plans. “We must bring them into the light—let them know the Kingdom of God is once again within reach. Seven days will be the test. ‘Mankind’ will be the name of the newly created being that can house an eternal spirit. “As humans they must each be given a chance—outside of Lucifer’s total dictatorship—to choose whether to serve good or evil. In order for the choice to be accurate, all memories of former existence will be isolated into the subconscious recess of each memory.” “As long as they live as mortals they’ll remember nothing. Faint traces of former memories could possibly make an appearance through dreams and occasional flashbacks, but there should be an atmosphere of safety within the families of man.” “Mothers will be created with a maternal impulse that is sacrificial in nature. Fathers will feel protective toward their wives and children. These natural instincts will balance out the evil that’s dominated them for so long.” “Those with abusive parents?” “They won’t be deserted. I’ll bring others who care into their lives—even affectionate pets—to teach them about goodness and love. All must be given a chance to choose their destiny. The TWO-EDGED SWORD can divide the intents from the thoughts; quick and powerful, the Word will know who longs to be with us, and who yearns for the Kingdom of Evil. At the end of the test we’ll welcome our citizens home with immense joy.” “The pull of evil is devious as well as strong. Deception is a very real possibility, even for humans created without sin.” “I have a back-up plan, but I hope I don’t have to use it.” “Let’s begin.” These simple words, spoken so quietly, were a gentle contrast to the dramatic events that would soon take place. The WORD was all that was needed to start the redemption process. The sons gathered to begin the work. Earth, now without form and empty, was to be renovated. A sun, moon, and stars would be created to light up the planet. The mission of bringing home the lost had begun. LET THERE BE LIGHT!
