Chapter The Parallel World
2960 AD
‘I am sorry to tell you this James but bear with me for a minute and listen to my words which you have at times a struggle with.’ James looked at the beautiful being that was the boss of the Angels and wondered if the Arch Angel would ever grow old. Obviously not, as he was created by God from the outset, even before Adam and Eve and of course Jesus.”
‘I heard you Gabe goes ahead. I suspect there is movement at the station for the word has got around. Some of my charges are back on earth .Isere the vacant seat’.
‘Ok you have got that right but stop calling me Gabe—right—I am the Arch Angel Gabriel. The Earth is in a right mess. And the Father wants us to fix it before he pushes the button and that is the end of it all. Do you read me James?’
James turned away from his class of students. Students who were hopeful since 2099 just after he had arrived from the dark and into the better light of the Parallel World. Sort of a Limbo as the Catholics might say. Away from his Mary and James leaving them alone to cope but that was nearly one thousand years ago and the World was suffering badly from what his students told him.
He had reached 78 which was not a bad innings and hoped that Brazil was his last earth life, He hoped that Mary would be always here with him but in the enquiries he made it seems that she went back about one hundred years after her death and no one told him where she was. Or James for that matter. He was there when his mother and Ted died and did not hear from them after a time either, when they were possibly in the parallel world.
He knew they had a life together in Mongolia but that is all of the previous life he could remember. He answered Gabriel when his thoughts stopped racing.
‘I’m not happy about this return Gabriel and you can tell that to the Old Bloke if you like’
′
The old Bloke the Old bloke. How dare you ---this is your Creator you know. You really worry me at times and I wonder if the Council in the Crystal Palace got it right granting you this stay for so long. You need some work boy let me tell you and that is the reason I imagine why you are going back again.
‘O.k.—Ok- keep your shirt on Gabriel, Go and tell the Crystal mob to do what they wish.’
″It is written in stone.′
‘Bullshit.’ Said James and Gabriel fluttered his wings and flew off...’shit I’m for it now.” James whispered. He returned to his class who were by now whispering behind cupped hands about their teacher and his irreverent speech.
Gabriel spoke to the air where God was but he had not seemed him for months yet he knew God was about.
‘He is not happy father.’ God spoke
‘I know that. You don’t have to keep telling me that. Look I have very big plans for him. I am yet to nut it out and it will depend on the free will of the humans before I install a new plan but let me tell you it is BIG very BIG. He goes back and will be once again called Adam.’ Gabriel was perplexed with the possibility of millions of years of repeat performances.
‘Trust me Gabriel. I know you are questioning. Anything to say just spit it out.’ Gabriel remained silent and God continued.
‘You need not know at what points I will intervene but let me tell you I can’t see the population of just some non believers and ants running the show. Can you?’
‘I agree Father- totally.’
‘You usually do Gabriel. My fault I suppose.’
‘Perhaps I had best get back to the Palace and tell them that he is going back.’
‘Good Gabriel. Keep me posted’.
Gabriel who was always obedient spoke to the Committee of Elders in the Crystal Palace where they lounged around in great chairs. Not like me who fly’s everywhere he used to think. No chance of siting on a great chair.
‘He goes back soon. Can you arrange it?’
‘Sure Gab’.
‘Don’t call me Gabe. Do I have to tell you a thousand times?’
’Ok keep your shirt on. Look Sorry Gabriel just having a bit of fun you know that God likes a bit of humour. At least that is what you tell us.
Re’ the Subject James Martin domiciled with us in the Parallel World since 2098 shows that his bloodlines have now changed a bit in the last millennium. His big feet were always with him and will stay because if I am right in what I suspect, with him being re badged as ADAM TWO he will need very big feet to keep a foothold on the planet once again. Tell him will you,′
‘Hey that is your job not mine I am sick of speaking to him. You call him up I am not just the message boy you know I got a lot of pleading writers praying to me you know...You can put up with his back answers for a change. ’
Gabriel spoke to his friend the Arch Angel RAGUEL who was very concerned about the large loss of life by humans in batches using the hand held devices to reduce the human population. By 2950 World Governments were clapping their hands of how they saved the world with it’s over population of some countries with boat people immigrating.
‘It is still going on Gabriel.’
″I know Raquel.′
’It is really Genocide. They are waiting till the old boats are full of hopefuls who were told great lies about Countries they hoped to live in. The Leaders wait till the boats are loaded, and at sea and then press the reduce buttons which turn the people into half-ants.
No one cares about ants drowning and they look away, not having to block their ears because ants do not scream--: nobody cares.′
‘Yes I imagine that ants do not swim too well.’
‘All done off shore so the Leaders pat themselves on the back and a lot less ants eating away the precious food’
‘God knows where this will all end but I bet a decision is coming soon. It can’t go on.’
‘What do you think the Father will do?’ Gabriel was deep in thought as he had after all thought for a long time of what might happen if the world continues on its way destroying the lovely planet.”
‘The planet needs a break to recover. Maybe two thousand years I reckon. Maybe he will pull the believers away and let the ant humans drown. I do not know.’
‘What about the souls in the Parallel world? Do you think he will leave them there? Gabriel? ’
‘Only he knows I can’t even guess that one .But they are not taking up any space is they. If I was to make a big guess maybe they will all become a great big energy ball. With loss of individuality of course,’
‘That would be a bit rough. They are the believers aren’t they Gabriel?’
‘Another planet perhaps.’
‘Do you seriously think he would start off again with a man and a woman? Imagine what Ailia would say about that. She is already pissed off with the pain woman had in child ’
bearing.′
′
You’re right of course Raquel. I can see Ailia stacking on a big act if that is the go again. Yet he created her as his companion and he must let her have an opinion. But he sure gave her a mouth.′
‘I wouldn’t like to cross her Gabriel.’
‘I don’t ---let me tell you that.’
‘We live in interesting times’
‘It sure is but it is not getting any easier.’
