This is a story of a Creator and his precious creations….
But in this tale it isn't about all of them really; it's about one who changed the world…for the worse?
The story begins with a Male God Almighty who was there before time, space or even existence even came to be.
His first words that were known to creation were "Let there be light," and there was light when the earth was formless and filled with unending darkness.
He then created the heavens and the earth, and he saw it was good and full of life, but our story doesn't start there. Our story starts way beyond that time….when he created his beings. What beings are you talking about, you may be asking? The angels. Yes. Angels do exist but not in the way you think.
There are different angels and categories that serve the Almighty God. For example, archangels like Lucifer and warrior and battle angels like Angel Michael come up a lot for a reason, but you will understand sooner or later why I mention him.
But one was a bit different from the rest of His servants and worshipers. All He created was made with a purpose. He sat on a throne in a gorgeous kingdom. Where the angels lived and served Him within His unending light because He was the light. That place He created was called Heaven, where the streets were made with pure golden stone tiles. The people will be free of pain and suffering, and all terrible memories of earth will be wiped away, giving you unending joy and a praise be to God Almighty.
This creation was named Lucifer, also known as the son of the morning... Can't seem to remember. Anyways, this being was God's favorite worshipper, for he was the most beautiful but also the most talented. Every time he sang, he sang so beautifully even God Himself was pleased.
This is where we begin our story...
Chapter One
What got, God Almighty so worried all of a sudden??
God was in His throne room listening to His scrib angel reading out something He asked them to read out loud. However, his mind was somewhere else. And the angel politely asks, " Your Highness, is something the matter? I just finished reading out what you asked me to gather but…your slient is there anything you want me to do next?( the angel stands in silence after that waiting for there next instruction).
(Little fact for you all: bear in mind God Almighty is so pure that his face is so bright you cannot see him because he is light itself, literally. He is the source of all light. Neither can the angels even see him, since no one knows what he looks like facially, because that also shows how powerful and glorious he is. He is gorgeous I can tell you that.
God Almighty looks up at them in dead silence. While the angel waited peacefully, she was also a bit concerned in silence as well, which made the comfortable atmosphere as tense as a pin drop and as heavy as fog.
The angel holds the detailed book tightly, not knowing what to expect.
After a while of silence God Almighty said,
" That is all for today; you may go back to your duty…." He said in a deep, majestic, male monotone. As it was booming with power but gentle care. He did not want to be disturbed in his quiet time of thinking.
The angel hesitates within but does not say anything and nods twice, saying, " Of course, my king, good day to you too." Said the angel as they bow and leave his presence to focus on other things.
(Quick fact for you all: you may or may not believe it, but God Almighty, Himself, always knows what people can say, think, and feel. He can even read their minds!? Very cool, if you ask me. Also one extra fact before we continue is that… He can read everyone's minds, but NO ONE can read his own mind, thoughts, feelings, and heart. That's incredible. Overall, you might be wondering why I spell his name in capital letters, and even though we may know his name through his son Jesus Christ, it is actually because we're not talking about ANY GOD; we're talking about God Almighty, the one who actually exists way before time. Because there is not a second God either… Sorry to those who thought there were two. I'll continue this a while later as we go along because this might be important.
God Almighty sighs quietly in his golden throne, finally having time to himself to think, and while thinking of something soon to occur, his heart is filled with uncertainty. He remembered how simple life used to be despite being eternal. He wondered if this was the best or worst way to continue his plan.
His son Jesus walks in to check on him.
He walks in with a sense of peace, power, and concern as he senses something is wrong with his father. Jesus walks in with a white garment, like usual, and normal flat sandals, which he finds comfortable to wear. He goes and stands by his father with a hint of inner worry. Meanwhile, God Himself was still silent since he got there and wondered if everything was ok.
Jesus looks up to Him worriedly and asks
"Father, is everything okay? What is the matter?" He shuffles his feet from side to side on the golden marble floor, fiddling with his sleeve hemmed in a light silver lining.
His father looks at him but remains silent.
He was so silent the only thing that could be heard was the distance chatter and singing of the angels….until…one of the angels
Called Gabriel, who is a messenger and comforter angel, walks in with a notepad, has short, average hair, and wears a long brown robe with a white garment, sort of like a modern, modest, old-money casual style. Wearing clean sandals also matching his cardigan.
He walks over and bows in infront of God Almighty and His son, Jesus Christ. Jesus happily greets him, "Hello, dear Gabriel. I have not seen you for a while. How has everything been?" Jesus said, trying not to give away too much of a hint of concern for his father not talking much to him.
Gabriel, unaware of Jesus' inner turmoil, happily says, " I have been very busy, my prince. I have acquired new information to give Master when He is ready. Your Highness, do you want me to read out the new reports?" Gabriel said as he waited patiently but nervously, as he felt at peace, but something wasn't quite right.
God Almighty speaks up once again.
" Very well, Gabriel I'm glad to hear you are well. Go on and tell me the report of today." As he sits up on his golden, shimmering throne next to his son, Jesus Christ, on his right side.
Gabriel explains to him the report of today but then says, Master, the last report is about Angel Lucifer. He wants to visit you."
God Almighty clenches his fist slightly as by hearing the name " Lucifer " gave him a bit of unwanted tension within himself.
God then asks him, " Well…..what does he want to see me for?" He says in a calm voice but something made Jesus sense there wasn't a hint of peace in his voice at all, which cause a shiver down his spin as he tries to lighten the mood for Gabriel by smiling.
Gabriel then looks at Jesus and Jesus then says " Tell him Gabriel what he wants to talk about?"
Gabriel tries to smile but he knows it will always bring trouble since he never really liked mentioning Lucifer's new behaviour habits…Gabriel clears his throat " Ahem, so my King… ange Lucifer wants to talk to you…um…regarding a special…TOPIC…"
Gabriel frowns as he doesn't want to mention exactly what it is. And Jesus wonders whats wrong as he asks " Gabriel…is there something you don't want to tell us?" Jesus asks calmly.
Gabriel flinches a bit as he realised that Jesus would obviously call him out since Jesus knew Gabriel well.
God Almighty however reads Gabriel and his heart as Gabriel said in his mind " I want to tell him the rest, but I'm not willing too. Especially since the news may anger him than make him smile….but Lucifer request really shocked me…how do I explain this to Master…?" He thinks to himself as he glances his eyes around the room avoiding eye contact with jesus and the other angels by God's throne room.
God then asks " Gabriel, tell me what has gotten you so troubled?"
Gabriel cowers in fear for some reason as God suddenly spoke up to him. Jesus is suprised to see Gabriel suddenly cower in fear as if he is about to be told off, since he saw his Father wasn't angery at all but sensed He was soon to be angered.
God Almighty sees Gabriel cowering in fear so suddenly and wondered why his fellow angel was suddenly more scared than how he peaceful walked into the room ealier.
Gabriel quietly speaks up and says " Master I'm sorry, your incredible and I don't want to ruin your day either…"
God's beaming sunlight eyes soften as Gabriel said something touching about his feelings. Jesus however sighs in relief, releasing the breath of air he held in that he didn't know he was keeping within.
"Gabriel I'm glad you are worried about me…but do not be afraid to tell me something you have gathered wether important or not…it's still valuable." God said softly as His mind drifts off as he looks away, his sunlight eyes simmer with not Joyous tears like he always has as he listens to the songs of worship towards him but theses tears were tears of memories as his eyes shimmer with tears his mind was full.
Gabriel's words hit him hard in his heart as he realises no one really rememberd he has feelings, but for his feelings to be considers by someone even an Angel suprised him, since he didn't think they cared about His feelings…or maybe some of the nicer ones he trusted truely did care about his well being.
Jesus looks up and noticed his Father's glistening teary eyes, he was shocked and suprised to see this sudden development and wondered what could have made him so sad all of a sudden. Was it his words, his actions or was it something else in his heart that caused him to be filled with tears of sorrow.
Jesus was about to speak up until God said to Gabriel " please leave Gabriel…I'll call u later. " He raises his hand to dismiss him and Gabriel wonders why and leaves his presence.
Jesus looks up at his father only to see tears threatening to fall down his beaming face of light, the angels guarding his throne look but don't understand what is going on with there King and why He is in such distress.
A few minutes later on dotting silence, Jesus asks his father something " Father, I sense your distress. May I know what the matter is? Is it about Lucifer?"
God Almighty pauses a bit as he hears Jesus' words of concern that swells his heart even more, realising his son is now concerned about him and he sighs quietly and says " Well, yes but…overall I rather not speak about my feelings." He said as little glistening tears tremble in his eyes.
Jesus worries as He sees his father leave, Himself in his throne while his other self goes into his chamber, sitting on the soft red velvet and gold leather sofa's and sat down thinking about everything that was told to him. At one point he is happy his son is concerned about him just like Gabriel was however he also in distress because of the fact he knew what was to come about why he was in such distress knowing angel Lucifer was his favourite and such pleased worshiper of his.
Jesus sits down by his father's throne as he looks up at the bigger throne to see his father there but he knew emotionally he wasn't there.
Jesus gets up as his long pure white garment lifts off his chair with grace and authority as he goes the angels look at him and bow slightly in acknowledgement of his presence as the King's son, as Jesus walks with his heart a bit troubled but at peace, he goes to find Holy spirit who was currently talking to Abraham happily about the new discoveries and ideas of life.
Holy spirit looks over and smiles happily to see Jesus walk over. " Ah, hello Jesus how are you today, come and join us we were just talking about nature currently." He said happily as his wings flutter back and forth.
Without hesitation Jesus sat with Holy spirt and there beloved friend Abraham, Jesus sat quietly with a mind filled with worries and frustration, Abraham however was happily chatting to Holy spirit about something to do with the stars and how it holds the many descendents he would have, back on his time on earth.
However Holy spirit realised Jesus wasn't that interesting in having a conversation and then suddenlt asks " Jesus is something the matter your so quiet today?"
He sits down to listen to whatever was making Jesus so quiet.
Jesus snaps out of thought and starts fiddling with his garment hem as Abraham senses the akwards silence since Holy spirit wondered what was going through Jesus's head.
