9:30 PM Thursday Kansas City, Missouri - Liberty Memorial, Anchor Desk
In anticipation of the interview with Jack, crews had set up an interview area off from the stage, behind the Anchor desk. It came with the standard couch and interview chair, almost a duplicate copy of the New York studios.
John was sitting in the interview chair waiting for Jack. They had just about finished recapping the sermon and the assassination attempt and comments from the multitudes. They then went to updates around the world. They were somewhat surprised there were no countries, especially in South East Asia or the Middle East had not yet made any comments about Elijah’s threats an hour ago. There was hope from the news team that Jack, now Enoch, would shed some light on what Elijah really meant. It was too bad they did not have Elijah on. That would be the preferred interview at this point for Elijah seemed to be the leader of the two witnesses. Elijah was the opposite of Enoch; he was not diplomatic and quite demanding.
Don came over to me and got my attention as he pointed to the stairs leading up to the stage. I looked over and saw Enoch and the woman I knew as Veronica walking towards us accompanied by Elijah. I was elated when I saw both of them appear together and I thought maybe, just maybe, they would all be in the interview.
I immediately got up and walked over to them. As they stopped in front of me, Enoch reached out and grabbed my hand shook it then excitedly said, “John, we have a surprise for you. Elijah and Veronica have decided…if it is okay with you…to participate in the interview I promised you. Will that be okay with you and your producer?”
I was at a loss for words for a moment and finally said, “Definitely Jack, uh, Enoch, most definitely.”
I then reached out my hand to Elijah who shook it and he said, “I have some things to clarify to the world and now will be a good time John. I also brought Veronica with us, and if you have not figured it out yet, she handles the security for Enoch and me. She also handles Enoch’s schedule and any details that need to be coordinated in this modern world. She will know where and when we make our next appearances in the world.”
“No problem Elijah. We are more than happy to let you say anything you want. If you could all follow me, we have an interview area set up behind the anchor desk over there.” as I pointed to the couch.
“Sure John.”
As I watched them move towards the interview area, I was thinking to myself how I was so very excited. I could hardly contain myself. New interview questions were forming in my mind as we walked towards the interview area.

9:45 PM Thursday Kansas City, Missouri – Liberty Memorial, Anchor Desk
They sat all three of us on the couch with me on the end, Veronica then Elijah. John’s chair was nearest to me as it had been on the previous interviews. The technicians put microphones on us and inserts in our ears for sound. Then John came over and chatted some about the interview.
“Jack, am I to call you Enoch from now on or Jack?”
“Enoch will be fine John. My middle name is Enoch.”
“Then Enoch it is.”
Don came over and said, “We will be going live here in a couple of minutes. Mary Ann and Geraldo are almost finished with their segment. So is everyone ready?”
We nodded our heads and John said, “Good then we will, as we have been with you Enoch since Monday, no script, just winging it and hope for the best.” John looked at Elijah then said. Oh, Elijah I wondered from your sermon why don’t you have a Middle Eastern accent?”
Elijah smiled and said, “I have been in and around the west including Israel for some time. Many speak English like you Americans. Now if I had a Southern accent that would probably raise some eyebrows.”
Then Elijah laughed and so did the rest of us.
I thought to myself,
well he has a sense of humor after all
.
Chapter 11
10:00 PM Thursday Kansas City, Missouri – Liberty Memorial, Anchor Desk
We were all seated staring at the dot on the camera. I whispered to Veronica, “let the show go on” as I smiled. She said, “Enoch pay attention” as she gave me a dirty look.
The announcer began speaking. “Viewers worldwide, this is Bear News live from Kansas City, Missouri, at the Liberty Memorial with your host John Roddenburg. Tonight, as many of you know, Jack South, now referred to as Enoch, gave his first sermon here not more than an hour ago. Enoch had agreed prior to tonight’s broadcast for an interview following his sermon and we are now going live with that interview.”
The Camera panned to the assembled group on the couch and then the announcer continued. “We also have the other witness you met tonight who, like Enoch, says he is a Witness from God. He claims that he is the Old Testament Prophet Elijah, who has also agreed to participate in the post sermon interview with us. And now, here is John Roddenburg.”
As the camera focused in on John, he said “Good evening to our viewers in the United States and the world. Our producers have told me that this broadcast tonight is being broadcast worldwide. As of the last count, this broadcast has more viewers ever including the ‘Superbowl and the ‘World Soccer Cup Playoffs. That is a lot of households!”
John paused smiling after the comment he had made then said, “Now In our continued efforts to keep you up to date on the self-proclaimed God’s final two Witnesses, we have with us tonight Enoch, as many of you knew as Jack South, and Elijah. Veronica Magdalene, who is their assistant, also accompanies them. I am sure all of you have questions you want answered and we hope to get you answers for some of them tonight.”
John then turns to me as the camera zooms on me and says, “Enoch, I have to say that during the ceremony, I was at a loss for words of what occurred with the power of the staff you carried. You stated in your sermon tonight this is the staff of Moses. The one he used when he appeared before the Pharaoh thousands of years ago, as in the Bible story known as the Exodus. Was the use of the staff tonight intended as a replay of Moses, Aaron, and the Pharaoh or in this case Enoch, Reverend Marks, and the
Bishop?”
Not waiting for a response John continued, “Then as I am quite sure it was not planned by you but the assassination attempt this evening was unprecedented on live TV. I am sure you will agree it was something that what we have seen tonight has never happened before in our times. In addition, we have noted; that not even the local police moved or the security forces. They sat and watched as if transfixed. Even the Secret Service members for the President and other dignitaries protection units, just sat there. Normally they would have been all over the place guns drawn. However, they did nothing. Can you explain this odd behavior? Their protection staffs reactions well…it…was bizarre to say the least. The other question I have for you…we want to know--did you know all of this was to occur beforehand?”
John had blurted out a litany of questions to me. I started to respond to them one at a time. “No John, not all of it. Let me start first with the Bishop and the staffs, the display in the heavens, and the basic sermon. Yes, that was all planned and part of what we intended to get the world’s attention. People need to understand God is serious and not relenting. The assassination attempt, I thought might eventually happen, that was a given. I am sure that it will not be the last attempt either. Many later will believe I am personally causing all the grief in the world. Even though I am only the messenger carrying out Gods plan for the last days, I am still the prophet. Prophets are usually not very popular. The assassination attempt did not surprise me it just scared me. For like you I am also of flesh and blood. However if you know your scripture neither Elijah nor me can be harmed for the next three and a half years.”
“And the Secret Service,” John Asked?
“As far as the Presidents Secret Service, police and all other security personnel I can only say that God stopped them from interfering. He has power I hope you realize over humanity, so I am sure he interfered. I would suppose that he wanted the sermon to continue. As for the President’s part coming out of the stands to confront the Colonel, he probably was an unwilling participant. God obviously wanted him as part of the message to humanity he planned for tonight.”
Enoch paused put his hands together then lifted them under his chin then stated, “However, Elijah showing up tonight was as much as a surprise to me as it was to you and the world. Nor was I aware of his comments and or sermon from Elijah. Those he made on his own account and was not planned by me or our staff.”
“Thanks Enoch for your comments I am not sure if you answered my questions but maybe just added to my questions. Let us move on to another subject. The question I have is about your staff and the Bishop’s staff. How did you do it?”
“I followed God’s orders given to me and did exactly as I was instructed to do. God did the exact same with Moses and Aaron. I followed his instructions and God took care of the rest.”
“Were you surprised the Bishop had a staff to challenge you or was that planned to?”
“No. God had told me that he would move the Bishop to do as he did. I, as I always do, then just followed God’s instructions.”
“The intent John is simple. Going into tonight and into the future, I knew I was going to cause controversy in the world. Now was as good a time as any to confront a high-ranking member of the Church. “Simply put John in Gods eyes the church he founded through Jesus through Peter is corrupt. Now he wants the Christians of the world to know it. If you know your New Testament John, I refer you and everyone the letters to the seven churches by John the disciple in revelations. If you read these letters then you will understand the Church is corrupt. This means humanity must look inward and find God.”
“That is quite a statement Enoch and one that I am sure will not be taken well by the Church in Rome or other sects of Christianity.”
“I am not here to please anyone John, just tell the truth. My ministry is to deliver God’s word and battle the evil here on earth. God’s hope is to save as many people’s souls as possible during the time allotted. My other mandate is use Gods power to fight against the Antichrist, Satan and all his followers. This includes their assets, followers and their powers.”
“What Powers do they have Enoch?”
“Control over food, shelter, money, life or death, destruction by drugs, alcohol abuse, pornography, perverted sexual practices to name a few.”
That is quite a statement Enoch. I am not sure what else to ask you. So let me ask you a different question. You keep saying…God told you. Does he appear in person to you, have you seen him, or maybe even Jesus? How do you communicate with him?”
“Simply by using prayer as we are all taught, John. When I pray for guidance, some sort of inner voice inside of me answers my prayers and instructs me on God’s plans. This is how I knew about the rains, the earthquakes, and hurricanes, which are coming. No John, he does not sit and talk to me as you and I are doing now. However as I have mentioned to you before, he sent his messengers or as many would call them ‘Angels to me. You may remember I mentioned them in our interview earlier in the week…Gabriel and Ariel. Moreover, John they do talk to me just as if you and I are, sitting across from each other now. I refer you to Abraham in the Bible. Just as the three visitors described in Genesis 18, Abraham had many thousands of years ago. However, one of his messengers was God. I only have had two and neither is God. It is just like that John just like that!”
“So you are saying that the ‘Angels Gabriel and Ariel are among us here on earth now?”
“They have always been here John. In addition, Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil as many call him is here among us. They all have been here from the beginning of creation. He and his angels…remember one third of all Angels that with him were also banned from the heavens and fell to earth.”
John then asked, “Any chance Gabriel or Ariel would do an interview Enoch?”
That quick question caught me unaware.
I grinned realizing what he had asked then with a bit of a laugh I said, “No John I doubt that they would. However, there will be a time very soon when all men of earth living and dead will not only see them, but all the angels. They then will of course all face judgment before Jesus and God himself.”
John sat back and decided not to take this line of questioning any further it was all very difficult to believe and yet he had hundreds of questions to ask Enoch and Elijah.
He made up his mind what to ask next so he then turned towards Elijah and asked, “Elijah, are you the same Prophet who was taken up by a whirlwind or a chariot of fire as described in the Old Testament?”
“What do you think John? You had the opportunity to see, as the rest of the world saw, and hear what I said and did with God’s help today.”
“Then John, your assumption is correct but then I detect a bit of uncertainty in you.”
I then realized that this person was an absolute expert in interviewing. Elijah possessed an incredible amount of ability to use the right words to put it on the other person. After a few moments as I gathered my thoughts I said, “Elijah I have to tell you I am having difficulty just asking these questions of you let alone answer the one you just asked me. If you look at the situation from my perspective, it is not just me but also the entire word for that matter. Now for 2000 plus years since Jesus, God, the Bible and so on has been based on nothing but faith only for so many. No prophets, no proof of a God absolutely nothing but faith. Until just a few days ago, there was no physical proof of the existence of a God let alone the Christians Jesus. Now Elijah we have it appears two real live prophets here. You and Enoch are the first physical evidence of God in the modern world since Christ. That I have to say is difficult to comprehend and even more difficult to believe.”
“So John once again if I may ask of you ‘do you believe we are who we say we are?”
I hesitated on this question, the journalist in me wanted to stay neutral but then I knew Elijah was testing me. My answer I knew would seal my fate one way or the other in this life and the life hereafter. I tried to think of a way to avoid a direct answer and not affect my faith…but then I did have faith. I made my decision.
“Yes Elijah I do.”
“Good John. I know that was difficult to say and like the thieves on the cross with Jesus you joined the one with the correct response and have made the right choice not the wrong one. The promise of Christ for the one will also be your destiny when your work here on earth is done.”
“Thank you Elijah” I stated wanting to take the focus off me for I knew my producer would make a comment to me about always staying neutral. I have just violated that rule. Moving on I asked, “I know the world wants to know Elijah when did you return to earth from heaven. Was it recently or have you been here for some time? I mean there are those who have claimed, especially the Muslims that you have appeared here on earth several times before today. You were supposedly at the transfiguration of Christ with Moses; also rumors were that you were actually John the Baptist reincarnate.”
As John had asked the questions, I thought ‘
This was a question I should have asked in the cave
. I leaned forward to hear Elijah’s answer
. His animation and facial features as he spoke spooked me. I noticed that Elijah was looking directly at Johns eyes.
Elijah said, “John, God’s angels, God’s servants, and God’s guidance and the holy spirit has been here since the creation of Adam from the dust. In modern times, you or anyone could have very well met one of us maybe in a restaurant, a crowded bus, or even sat by you in an airplane. I am sure you have heard stories of such over the years where it seems God has interfered in a calamity, a disaster, or even your world politics. We are like Lucifer’s ‘Angels here on earth. We come and we go, but until now, you were unaware of our presence here. Now you are. However, I will answer your question directly. I returned from heaven and I have been in Israel since the founding of the country after World War II. I kept to myself and have lived among the Israelis for some time under various identities. I needed to be able to understand their hearts and help them through the difficult times of returning to the Promised Land. I have been there along with many other Messengers of God’s and have overseen the promises of God to the Israelites on behalf of God. Now, until a few years ago I was like many of Gods messengers I was unseen. In time, I needed to make my presence known so I assumed the name Shraya and like in the New Testament lived like John the Baptist lived and preached in the desert until today. Let me add and this is very important for all to hear…I have a job to do to fulfill the final promise. This promise is during the end times God would reassemble all the Jews to the Promised Land once again as he did with Joshua, which is why I am here.”
I noticed Elijah again paused never taking his eyes off John. The camera had Elijah’s full-face profile on the monitor and you could see his eyes were wild and intense, I continued to be transfixed by him as he continued.
