"They saw God"
(Chp 1:4)
He knew God had a sense of humor.
While this attire was perfect for the current environment they were in, modern mankind would have considered the kingdom appearances a cult.
“Ordinary” in the kingdom was a little different than the old western mindset had imagined. The “End is Near” had come so to speak but it was suits and ties that ushered it in with warnings, not a robed bearded man in long hair sandals and placard. In fact even lab technicians and scientist had gotten on the bandwagon leading up to 2012 panic in the old world calendar.
Nostradamus and the Incas hadn’t been right, but they weren’t wrong either. Sometimes the obvious answer is obvious. Right or wrong the panic of 2012 had set the stage for God to operate. The patient has been wheeled in to the operating room and God had gotten to work to save the patient.
God had poured out his wrath on the earth.
Eben was glad he wasn’t there to see it. Others weren’t so lucky. Most died and the unlucky ones lived. That was why he was here, for the unlucky ones. People had tried to warn each other. Ancient texts had said dire predictions. Scientist had added their ideas, Church’s had taught it, everyone said they had heard it. Almost everyone had been pretty close in their predictions. Still by the time it was happening, people were immune to the warning.
They had heard it so much, it didn’t matter anymore. They figured they would survive. They figured if they missed the “rapture”, they could go later. Even those who thought they were going were ill prepared when they didn’t. No one was prepared for what really happened. It was a “great surprise”.
No one believed it would happened to them………until it was too late……and then the great deception took care of believing in anything after the fact.
Most would not think that living through the Great Tribulation was unlucky, but having seen the results of what it was like on the Survivors of God, well….. The old joke was, it was not nice to fool with Mother Nature. Mother Nature was nothing compared to Father God, the Creator of All. Some previous cartoons had a caption showing someone getting zapped by lightning with the punch line added,
“You pissed me off.”
The idea of it being that God sent a bolt of lightning killing the person.
That would have been easy compared to living through the actual Judgment Time on Earth. Going through the Great Tribulation period was far worse. Lightning would have been the least of worries. It was certain though that if God was not angry, he sure could save his judgment for a setting no one would ever forget. Ever.
God knew how to make a Scene.
Eben thought he would rather fall down on his face for grace than any other place he might have wound up. During that time of tribulation there were no undercover agents for God. There were no heroes who lived. The good ones died martyrs, the few who lived were not so lucky.
They saw God.
It was a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a Living God.
Being prepared to meet God was one thing. Jesus and John had mentioned how inspiring that could be. Those whom God had given His Spirit to live, even exist, in the same place and time where He was, that was too be expected. Even those who were transformed and made ready to join Jesus in the Great Feast in Heaven, that made sense.
Taking human beings in a fallen state, and exposing them to a Living Creator of the Universe, removing all hope of non-existence, that was insane.
Insanity was the first hurdle for the Survivors of the Tribulation to overcome.
