The Gentile Witness Book II, Elijah (31 page)

Robert paused then his father said, “Well go on.”

“Then when I feel it is time. We will have a meeting of the revived Roman Empire and I will grant sovereignty of the United States to them. I will then, be elected as their new leader as was the plan originally. Then we will start to prepare the world for the invasion of Jesus. In the meantime we will continue to discredit these witnesses to minimize their effect on us.”

“So Cain, you are telling me that you will not lose your temper, go after Enoch and Elijah and their supporters without thinking through your actions. Is that what you are saying?”

“Yes.”

“You know Cain your temper is an issue that goes back to the beginning. Therefore, you are saying to me that you will maintain and use your power sparingly and not cause a problem…right?”

“Yes, I can and will control my temper.” 

I stopped speaking and just looked at Cain. During the pause in conversation, I thought back to the day when Cain killed his half-brother Able. He had made that choice not he. By doing so, he changed the face of humanity forever. Fortunately, he took his punishment in stride and moved on. I smiled then thought to myself, yes, he can handle it on his own. I looked up at the ceiling gazing as if through it to the heavens. I knew he would hear me, he heard everything I said. As I was looking up I said, “You sent your son to the world and he failed. Now it is my son’s time he will not fail.”   

I then looked back at Cain and said, “I then pass the title of earth to you Cain. Your decisions, your word will now be the way the world will obey. You have not much time for it is less than seven years before their return. Prepare for battle my son, make your choices, and make them wisely.” 

“Yes father I will” Cain said. 

Jordan then turned to Azazel and said, “From this point forward anything you do, anything you plan, will go through Cain first do you understand Azazel?”

Azazel bowed his head looking at the floor not wanting to look into his eyes again and responded “Yes master.”

“Good, I know you will obey.” 

I then said, “I guess we get to watch Cain sworn in as the most powerful man on earth. Oh, I almost forgot something. I looked at the ring of gold, with aquamarine setting, with red garnets imbedded in it on my finger. This ring was actually, given to me by the council prior to the battle with Michael. It symbolized my good work managing the mines, and as a reminder of my then status, of ruler of the earth. I realized it was now time to give it to Cain. The ring also had special attributes. I took the ring off the finger of my left hand and handed it to Cain, as I said, “This ring was given to me by the one they call their God. I have had it for all time. It is now yours son. Wear it proudly, never take it off, it has special powers. If ever asked about it, proudly say it was a gift from my father.”

Cain then took the ring placed in on his finger. 

I kneeled down in front of my son and reaching for his hand pulled it close to my mouth…then kissed the ring.  

 

 

 

 

Chapter 63

7:00 PM, Aafre Waldger’s Suites, Center City, Kansas City Missouri

The networks producer lined up Robert Cain, his father Sir Jordan Devon and Jamal Jones, Director of Homeland Security. The Judge was, placed in front of them. Once they felt it was good to go and the cameras were set they cut away to the Network in New York. Brad Williams came onto the television screens across the globe and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen of the world we are going to cut away to Kansas City where the Speaker of the House Robert Cain will be sworn in as America’s next president. Now I understand they are ready so we will be going live right about now.” 

The broadcast cut to the suite at Center City where the Federal Judge was instructing Robert Cain to place his right hand on the Bible being, held by, Jamal and repeat after her. 

              “I do solemnly swear”, she said

              “I do solemnly swear”, Cain, said

“That I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States.”

“That I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States.”

“And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

“And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

“Congratulations Mr. President” the Judge said.

As she looked at the Bible now in her hands, after it was-handed back to her after the swearing in ceremony. She kept staring at it and she could not let go of it. She could feel the book warming then becoming hot like fire scorching her hand. She could then smell the flesh on her hand start to burn then blister. As she dropped the Bible to the floor, she screamed then fell to the floor. She lifted her hands in the air still screaming in pain. Lying on the floor, she continued screaming from the pain. All of a sudden she stopped. She looked up staring at Cain. Her eyes wide open and mouth opened as to say something but then her head dropped back and banged on the floor followed by her hands.    

Cain reached down put his hand against her neck and not feeling a pulse he then gingerly picked up the Bible she had dropped. He could see the burnt skin that had attached itself to the Bible’s cover and he could still feel the heat. He handed it to his father and said, “The Judge appeared to of died.” 

Sir Jordan Devon kneeled down and lifted her hands that had held the Bible and saw they both were, scorched and blistering. He said, “She must have been quite frail.” 

He then looked toward the ceiling smiled and said to no one in particular. “Always grandstanding aren’t you?” He laughed then shook his head in non-belief. 

Fortunately, the broadcast was not live and on tape delay. The frame after Cain finished the oath was, filled with a previous picture taken of him with overlays and applause. The public never saw what happened to the Judge. 

 

             

 

 

Chapter 64

7:00 AM Saturday Tehran, Iran Supreme Leader’s Palace

“The West is asleep for now. We need to decide what we are going to say about last night. Already this morning Al Jazeera has started saying that we think that, we are the leaders of the Arab world and that we are nothing but power hungry warmongers. Our strategy has not worked obviously. The reason is the missiles that we launched somehow destroyed The Dome. How that happened I still do not understand”

“President Shasahvar we still do not know how that happened” Major General Amir said. “Maybe the Israelis have a new weapon that can change the direction of missiles I do not know. Maybe their God did it, I do not know. What I do know is we need to come up with something to say that is rational. In addition, I am not sure if you noticed this or not but the sun is shining today. We are in the area of the threat from the Witnesses and it is still raining everywhere else but in Iran. It is bright and sunny and very warm.” 

“What does the weather have to do with the situation we are in right now Amir?”

“Nothing but I thought it was strange for this witness is never wrong and he said rain for thirty days but the sun is shining. But in the back of my mind I am concerned about the threat of this Elijah last Thursday night on American TV.”

“And what was that Amir?”

“Well he said that if anyone attacked Israel he would send swarms of locust to that country and it would destroy the crops and all green things. So since that could not happen unless the rain stopped”, he paused then thought better about saying what he really thought and said, “I just found it strange that the sun is shining instead of rain.”

“I think that is rubbish Amir, he does not have that type of power.” 

“Well nor does he have the power to make it rain either. Moreover, I am not able to discount that this Elijah may have had something to do with the missiles going off track and hitting the dome. Maybe he has that power…from his God.”

“Amir you are very close to the edge of being ridiculous in your thoughts. This is the 21
st
Century. It is not the days of desert dwellers and prophets. There are no prophets, and there are no Gods here. All there is now is the world we live in and the struggle to make a place for yourself in it and survive the best way you can. I do not believe in their Hebrew God or anything else resembling that. But I need facts and I need answers and supernatural answers are not what I want to hear!” 

“I have no answers President Shasahvar. If I did I would give them to you but I have no answers.”

“So what do we tell the world?”

“That we screwed up I guess, and deal with it from there.” 

“Not acceptable.”

“Then what do you tell them.” 

“Maybe spies are in our midst and the Israelis caused the missiles to be launched.” 

“Then we would really look foolish for that is impossible. You and I both know this and I am sure that the world would laugh at us if we said this as you suggested
. However, Amir, we could say that we have a group of renegade soldiers whom did it internally. Arrest some that are assigned to the base and tell the world we caught them red-handed and execute them.”

“Execute innocent men to save face.”

“Yes, sometimes that is what you must do.”

“Very few will believe it.”

“Well do you have a better idea?”

“Yes, just take responsibility for launching the missiles and blame the Israelis for hitting them with an Anti-Ballistic Missiles. We can say they hit them but they were not direct hits which then caused them to go off course.”

“There is no proof.”

“Since when did we have proof of much of anything when it comes to these matters?”

“I see what you mean. All right I will work out the details and release the information.”

“Yes Sir.” 

“Now, what do we know of this new President in the United States, Cain. Also any opinions why their President went off the deep end and resigned?”

“Not one of us has any ideas. All I can say is that since this Enoch showed up and Elijah as self-proclaimed prophets the order of the world has changed. How can I say it…its…I guess just screwed up. Maybe the world has gone insane…for I really do not have a clue.

8:10 AM Saturday Prime Minister David Ben Bernstein’s Office, Jerusalem, Israel

I had called together as many as I could for breakfast. Last night was a long night and not much sleep but there was a lot to address. There was some small talk as we had coffee. My office had set up a small buffet of
hardboiled eggs, chopped vegetable salad, semolina porridge, cheeses, fresh bread, fruit, and granola
.
They did a good job on such short notice. As I pushed away from the plate, I heard my name called. 

“David, The Iranians just release a statement regarding the missile attack last night stating that we managed to clip the missiles with our Iron Dome system  We all know this did not happen” Chief of the General Staff of the IDF Jacob Schwartz said. 

I answered back, “Typical response of not taking responsibility for what they did. However, they at least took responsibility for attacking us. That is a step in the right direction. In addition, Jacob the Americans have not called us. Not one person from the State Department, nor the Secretary of State, Bill Krasner or their new President. This is quite unusual for they would be trying to make sure that we used diplomatic channels and the UN in lieu of a war with Iran. Not one word.” 

“That is surprising to me also for even little rocket attacks from Hamas or the Palestinians they are on the phone immediately. Have you tried to call them instead?”

“No, that would not be the thing to do. However, I did get a call from the Secretary General of the UN Sir Author. He only said that he commended us for not, immediately retaliating and that he personally would speak to the Security Council at the UN on our behalf and condemn Iran. He then said something very strange.”

“What was that David?”

“Well Jacob he said very directly and I quote; ‘When are you starting to build your Temple end of quote’.”

“What did you tell him?”

“Not much. I basically said that I was not sure if the Jordanians wanted to try and rebuild the dome or what our government felt they should do.” 

“Then…?”

“He said that we should take advantage of the situation for if we did not build now we would not have the chance again for hundreds or thousands of years. He also said that the United Nations and most of the world would support our position to rebuild at this time.”

“That would make a lot of people in Israel very pleased, David very pleased. But then there are always those who would not be for they feel that by rebuilding the Temple marks the end of time itself.” 

“They may be right Jacob, they may be right. Now where are Yona and Elijah I understood they were to be here by now?” 

“They should me here any minute David. I know the Army picked them up at the Temple about a half hour ago.”
