Hey world... Im just writing to say that I am really bummed out by church lately. Its like a bunch of overstuffed intellectual cows who come to church and get fat with bible study and hi how are yous and then go home to their 4 bedroom 2.5 bath houses and feel really good about the money the shoved in the box and meanwhile there are people in their own congregations who dont have enough cash for diapers or heat or important things and it really is a bunch of grown up jr highers trying to impress the varsity pastor (er quaterback??). I hate pastor worship. I hate the worship of men in general and I really wish the church in America would pull its head out of its collective bung hole long enough to see that its about Jesus who IS God and NO ONE ELSE!!!,,, Whats imortant to him? Well if your saved its that you go spread the word to the UNSAVED not just to waste your life comparing notes with all the other milktoast pasty white churchgoers who your busy trying to live up to. Oh and while your thinking about all that.... Enjoy the music... Im loving this Jango thing.... Check it out for yourself....

Preface

This is a work of fiction. I can not stress enough that this story is not theologically accurate.  There is no way it could be, as sight into the future of mankind is an occupation reserved solely for the Creator Himself. So I have merely taken some  references made in the Holy Scriptures and woven them into an entertaining fiction. My intent is the amusement of the reader. If the Holy Spirit in His glorious sovereignty decides to provoke your interest and you are led to further explore the Bible, that is wonderful.  However, that is the work of God Himself in your life and I ask that credit remain where credit is due.

Chapter One.

1 x 10²¹. Estimated there are that many grains of sand on the planet earth. It seemed a passing coincidence that it is also the estimated number of stars in our universe. It is no wonder that from almost the dawn of man, we had asked the question: “Why, with so many possible solar systems, had we never heard from even a single one of them?”. Most Philosophers speculated that any of our neighbors bright enough to actually send us a message had also figured out that we were a young and irresponsible race and would probably manage to blow ourselves up if we were presented any information we hadn’t concocted ourselves. Ironically just the opposite turned out to be true. The only information man was ever presented outside their own reason was scoffed at as little more that superstitious nonsense and it was man’s reasoning alone that practically destroyed the human race as it was known. Fortunately shortly after that bit of disappointing history, we learned that the stars had never contacted us because we hadn’t arrived yet to send any messages home.

In the early 21^st century, man was thrown the odious curveball that the entire Bible was in fact true. Not just true in the spiritual or even socially moral sense, but true in the sense that God was real and that He had every intention to return to Earth to take back complete control. For many people, it was a very disappointing period.

Things started out rather quiet. As man boasted about his continual widening of the information superhighway, the seemingly positive cycle of improving communication and increasing knowledge; the Earth itself began to warn us of the futility of our knowledge. We could know all there was to know and still circumstance was not under our control. The Human race was at the brink of worldwide peace and the natural disasters began. We could control our citizens but we could not control our seas, or the winds, or the rains. Reason told us that circumstance was what it was. People who included “Judgment” as part of the equation were immediately cast out of the information pools and labeled anything from insensitive to insane. Storms whose intensities had never been observed in all of “reliable” history went from annual to monthly to almost weekly. The devastation collapsed our economies seemingly overnight. As tragedy increased there was a worldwide spiritual movement. Religions which required appeasement became sickeningly desperate, while religions promising grace and hope experienced health and revival as never seen. It was a spiritual storm which rivaled the passion and furor of the horrific natural events on which it seemed to feed.  

And then at the peak of the revival, the storm ended more horribly than any hurricane or flood. In a single day almost one quarter of the world’s population died. There was no warning, there was no disaster, and there was never any truly buyable explanation. There were only bodies. Almost 1 billion bodies worldwide. The overtaxed world governments were unable to even start to deal with the amount of rotting corpses they had on their hands. National sovereignty perished within weeks of the event and for the first time since Eden, the World was under one government. The bodies were burned, Massive incinerator facilities were erected and black smoke poured into the sky. Many people went insane from the trauma. The worst part was that children had seemed especially prone to the phenomenon. Almost every family in the world saw the death of their youngest children. It was staggering. The word for joy disappeared from every language and so did the name for God. Churches worldwide simply ceased to exist. There was no edict or riot or much fanfare at all, the world just collectively lost interest in anything spiritual. For the most part the churchbells stopped ringing and nobody noticed.
