Chapter 5

The Anointing.
`

They found Heaven to display much to its beauty; the travels short; of no pitfalls or failure to arrive. Thereupon the most distant horizon sat a paradise land of golden stretch and vast dominion. It was hidden against the Panicia mountain ranges and considered one of the valued purses to Heaven itself. Those bright yellow hues did flicker and fire by every sun which spread its rays upon the backdrops and foregrounds to that realm. The arches rose highest still; the speckled flints of pure gold and weight; pillars or priceless mirth; diamonds and rubies as big as horse-heads embedded within; jewels of every denomination made walkways to sparkle and shine; the long flying Dutchman archways roam to every architecture, building and bridgeways; the buttresses abound. Churches walled to every street; houses of worship to glorify God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit elevated to gigantic heights; the riches of glory; the haven of utopia; the magnificent city of Heaven and paradise. Daniels eyes did quake at the sight; the realms only spoken of in storybooks, lore and tales. Now settled within his scope and sight; this harbor of purest gold and every gem; from lands of earth and other planets, suns, moons, galaxies, and universes; elements before them never to be known. The city of angels; the city of the Lord; patrons of the elite; a village and home unlike any other they two did land among this realm in all spectacle and awe. Daniel turned his head up high; twisting; contorting to see and grasp the priceless sight before him. Aero grabbed on his wrist and led him through; the large, engulfing hallways; the marbled slabs cast with pure gold and simian pearls; fortresses curved to one crease and point; stain-glass walls of every spectrum color. Angels not born for flight did roam the vast and incredulous halls with mighty swords; bows and arrows with quivers did they seat; shields of every clan and sector held in guard if the need were to arise. The halls and stretches lit by eternal lights of a kaleidoscope vault and rays, while of patrons about were in elegant wears and attire. Aero moved the two of them through countless rooms to lead into a courtyard laced with waterfalls; plants and trees; effervescent swallow birds and pools of pure holy water; cobblestone paths adorned with the artistry of views on Heavens abounds; brilliant schools of fish and colored aquatic underwater plants; geese, spectacle ducks and pure white swans trimmed the waterways with their paddles and swims.

Here they stood in wait. And without promotion or formal introduction came forth the highest esteemed angel Daniel had ever set his eyes to. He held the expression of pure holiness; of eyes in glow; pronounced muscular frame and length to height longer than his; the face steady, to not impart more than what he was; his manners to warrant utmost respect and unrivaled dignity. This most certainly was the presence of Gabriel. The heirs of no influence; no pride he beset or bestowed; of humble stare and gracious disposition; with hands carved from Gods own tools and carpentry, the length of which did wrap around the large tree trunk he had settled under. The legend of a supreme angel; the stories of the told; the lore of all passing generation tales; a rare angel modeled in the Bible; no captions need be said; he was the supreme of angels. He stood, paced his walk, with holy wings adrift and shadowing his pace; it seemed he carried his own wind when at his gait. Young Daniel, I do see, his voice projected deep and forceful, Of man and of spirit; the Father does ordain You have much to offer to God for His particular use Gabriel made a circle round where Daniel stood; with inspection and an eye to behold. He did slightly prod and poke on Daniels shoulders, and his majestic wings. The Father will be pleasedhe said further; then coming to him, face to face. You are of legend, Daniel bowed slightly, I do commend This is not the need young Daniel, he bowed in his return, Are we all servants to the Heavenly crown No matters are greater than this The Lord will tender us as His Will entails. I am at His will and command Daniel pressed to bow again. So be the glory Gabriel seemed to sigh on this, The Father will attend Presently? Daniel now appeared to be afraid. Indeed, Gabriel spoke, after his pause, He is soon to appear. The purpose must be greater still Our worth is measured only by His grace; the fortunes bare in whole to sustain a wondrous duty to the King Come, step with me for a bit The two enormous angels embarked to travel the full length of these gardens; of graciousness put into wonder as they spent; the alleys of paradise; of purest splendor to serve with great backdrop to their discourse as they went. You will pardon Gabriel spoke, I do beset No, to counteract, Daniel did plead, The honor is to be all mine! They stared to one another, with deep concentration; to catch the essence of the spirit from the other; the walls lowered; no heirs to make. Of man and of spirit, Gabriel spoke, Of one so unique; God be the proposer; He has His plan; the mystery of all walks with Him; of Faith eternal we ride; live by only this one creed Daniel; the man, the spirit, will know much alike his kindred; the King. Jesus has prevailed; in His wisdom abounds, the Truth of all His righteousness; His mirth; His
2

inevitable grace We are the fortuned few to have such closeness in His realm. No creatures of eternal claim will endear as much I am graced, Daniel replied, this is certain You can not know what all will be This is all new to me, Daniel smiled only slightly, as if to return back to his serious tone and cover the muse he just released, I must admit. Then how will you prevail? How are you to say? If not to know; what else lies with Daniel? Daniel thought as he desired to give the correct answer on this riddle. What is to my heart, that can be known, leaves space for Faith to own the rest. My inequities were born at my birth, and remained upon my death so soon. Now reborn into Heaven and all this, he looked about, There is great adventure to come And with great adventure comes great concern, Gabriel moved closer still, Be warned of the trappings to behold; be protective of this Faith, which is such the important guardian and shield to you Must you abandon your own will for the Father; for unto his righteousness; all will be revealed. The challenge is great You can not see The mantle will sway; the deception will peak. Discern with Gods direction the travels you make I know not all; for my own wisdom is bare and lacking to invent the correct advice But the master knowsand He is aware So where shall I turn? Daniel seemed to plead. In Gods hand, do you sit within the palm of, he leaned in on Daniel, and placed his hand over his shoulder for direct comfort, and with an intimacy Daniel had not felt before, The master, Jesus, is to come Are you to be anointed; one-to-one. This is to be a great and holy honor Pure Love will be the joy; His look and eye will attest And as with kindred spirits do unfold, the majesty, the Holy realm to behold Jesus will wink at your soul with His; and will you discover much, what is beyond to know. There is ambition to do Him well; to follow His will complete! Gabriel seemed to rise with a happy spread over his expression. What will He direct? The essential point and purpose of His desire And what will be asked of me? All that is asked And Faith will bestow Daniel finished out Gabriels sentence. The two angels returned to a grouping of eleven others, including Aero, whom he, himself appeared as if from nowhere. The legion was now assembled and sitting upon thirteen chairs of pure diamonds, trimmed and laced with gold; the radiance of each tickled the eyes with an unusual glow. From the gardens depths came a single figure; dressed in simple linens and of a white robe. The sleeves of which appeared much to be too large for the hands that protruded through; folded upwards and carrying to His front a large bowl.
3

The fluids within did seem to overflow and drop to the grounds which He passed under. And to the droplets that fell, they quickly dried to nuggets of pure gold. The face was last to be seen; though His eyes did penetrate and seem to glow; not of color, but of the purest tone of Love, if such a color can be known. The sandals seemed worn and fit to the solemn feet which did step in their souls. There, was He fully exposed: Jesus. All did rise and bow, then tumble to one knee, though Jesus did discourse for all to rise. I am your brother; I am your sister; the Holy Grail commands The shepherd knows His flock; the sheep of all eternity are now at hand. Do bend and rise And so they all went to a sit upon their chairs once more. Do I anoint you all for this purpose Jesus lowered himself to the foot of Gabriel to begin. No Father, Gabriel interceded with a soft touch to Jesus shoulder, It is I, who should wash the feet of a King in glory. Let me take your grace and do the proceedings so. Jesus paused to look about over Gabriel; their eyes to connect and register a profound love between them. Shall I teach you, My brethren, to serve, in all of our Fathers Holiness, and not be served His Will shall provide. I, the Son, was given to slaughter, for the sake of My children I love My children, and give gladly to all who will follow Me And to this, my dearest Gabriel, the loyal of all My subjects, do anoint thee whole. I love you; as a dearest father to His son Jesus proceeded to wash Gabriels feet with the Holy water from this Heavenly bowl. Next in the procession was the angel Lore. He was considered the smartest of all the angels; smallest in stature, but thoughtful in his stare. His nose was tiny, like that of a child, and he possessed the most colorful breastplate in the entire legion of angels. Though his hands were cut like an old, aging man; his features were as young as any. And to Lore, Jesus smiled up at him and began to wash about his feet, The Heavens did awake in the earliest of times; as you, My brother, did also. Have you been with Me the millenniums through; and I, do place great trust with you. Thy duty to Me has always been, and shall always be Jesus then moved to the angel Zephon. He held a very serious expression wherever he looked. The eyes did starkly pierce where his gaze roamed; the jaws locked and his stare looked straight away; above from where Jesus had knelt to his feet. Two large swords crisscrossed in his rear and shoulders. It was said Zephon was the best fighter of all the angels; a trusted guardian; a great locator and prince of paradise. It is said he has always been fiercely loyal to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

And to Zephon, Jesus looked up at him, The might to My sword. One guardian to Eden; a cherubim to the first paradise; the one who will fight Satan ever more; a brave and dutiful servant to our Father; I and My Father are well pleased in The next in line was Aero. He looked in concentration on Jesus, who, in turn, smiled with pleasantries and warmth. There was an engaging sight which passed between the two of them; as if they were two children in friendly play and discourse. And to Aero, Jesus smiled further, The fastest of angels to fly; seasoned in the art of air, wind, and travel; will travel the stars and Heavens and back again; the ancient warrior of flight; the four winds of earth blow by thy lead; and the amber to the sunsets of all earth and day; you are a treasure and a gift to your Father. Next was one they called Metatron; his size in mass the largest of all; massive shoulders that could power the engines of every light to the universe. His hands were enormous, like pincers between two worlds; his legs of trunk and measure were stout, sturdy, hefty to the breach; a wrestlers art and disposition, but the face and expression unlike his frame; one of intellect and art; strong features but not abusive; striking in their radiance. And to Metatron A fierce warrior to Heaven and to home; prince of ministering angels; the sustenance of mankind; chancellor to Heaven; will fend for your Fathers word, and for His glory. Faith sits on your powerful shoulder with Samsons strength. Behold I have an angel of fortune and true grace before My eyes. Jesus took to bath his engrossing feet with tender affection. There, to the first line of angels, sat upon them one of female features and figure. Her name was Ariel, with long flowing, golden hair which struck the brilliance of pure gold. Her locks were strung with pearls and little twinges and twists of cloth that appeared to be symbols from her clan of angels. Her eyes did pierce the aqua blue of clear waters; and facial features so soft as if from a babys skin; but the beauty to her full presence was the purest of all Heaven. And to Ariel No grace is greater to befit, than this of you. The lioness to the very heart of God; no less of warrior than any of the legions now to unfold; the magnificent duty to her Father; the soft measures of Love and dignity; thy lands are ever changing and shores of no end to all eternity Oh, the Father does find you in accord and with great blessing! Baradiel was to be next. A high prince of angels; of handsome features and great command and respect; the bastion and hope; formal and high in arch; the weaponry he cast unlike all the others; of brilliant bow, quivers and arrows to settle just behind him. His hair did flow a raven dark which he let free and about his face; the features hidden from view, but eyes to radiate through the mangled and un-kept hair he owned. And to Baradiel A host to angels; one who hast the valance of many tasks; a trusted servant to My Father; the brethren of trials and peace; the frozen skies do bring

crystal rock to befall; obedient to all ends; one to the legion from high order; My son to this I bestow. Sandus stood next in order. His face was stringent and firm; unlike all the rest; his sword was curved and not straight, and to bow about the length of his back, thru his shoulders and sit in a thick sheathe; his forearms wrapped in twine of many ropes and wraps; his eyes as cold to ice as his features reflection would invoke. And to Sandus. I do warrant the chance and hope to gift our Father thy duty. That in this prescribed duty, victory to thy Fathers Will, will be yours as well. Falkan became the ninth to this legion of angels. Jesus came before him next and began to wash about his feet and ankles. Double swords also crossed over his shoulders and back; a fashion and scarf of multi colors adorned around his neck and about his chest. And round his wrist was a cross of pearls from all worlds he had traveled to for Gods purpose. There was dignity in his heirs. Not of pride and manly self-assurance, but that of memories on known triumphs in the name of glory to the Father. And to Falkan The horseman and rider to all fields of the universe; My brother, thou art much traveled and hast seen the pits and valleys, and mountains of all earth. Thy knowledge of earth will much be to the advantage as I do see fit to impart you there; once more. Sarafinah was to be next. Another angel of female features and adoration; dark flowing locks dressed in braids and tails to stretch round her face and eyes; cast also by a lance and side knives with another sword to retrieve; the scabbard as long as any; and also with the colors of her clan. There was gentle temperament in her ways and manners; a gentle creature who seemed lacking any form of aggression. And to Sarafinah Give aid to My people. They charity bestowed; the wealth of kindness do cast with your radiance upon earth. Guard My children as you have protected the throne of My Father. There is great need As thou hast done for Me, do also for the least of My brethren His plea to her was most evident. I shall my Lord she was the only one to speak throughout, to this point. Haniel was much the brother to Sarafinah. Their features were much the similar; with dark hair in locks to show clan unity. Bold in his manners, though reverent, and astute to attend to Jesus as He came to his feet. Father, Haniel did glow to say, Shall I wash to Thy feet also; that through my servantry, that I might serve and be anointed so. Do you hear? Jesus smiled, I am well pleased in you Haniel, the guardian to the tree of life As I do anoint, so are you anointed thus wholly and completely The twelfth of this legion was Nemamiah. Indeed there appeared to be special Holiness in his presence; the kindest and most spiritual of faces; with eyes to yearn for the sanctity of his Father. When Jesus was first to gaze upon him, there was supreme love and admiration between their stares. The only angel not to carry weaponry; an angel of mercy;

seemingly to heal the sick; give refuge to the homeless; food to the hungry; an angel not of war, but to peace and justice. And to Nemamiah The guardian of Truth; the casting line to the castaways; the harbor to all refugees; mark justice where the need arises; I send thee to the homeless, and to give home and safety to; bear kindness to My people, for My children are important to all that I am Our Father blesses you so; as I, do the same Jesus rose to supplant a kiss to Nemamiahs forehead. And to all, He has spoken. Not to Daniel, but into this moment, for his place was set away from the rest. And Jesus moved to him with the anointing bowl in hand. Daniel paused and seemed to revere the very presence of Jesus; to fidget and twist about his chair as in discomfort; though to this, Jesus took his wrist and knelt before Daniel. I have watched you Jesus smiled; which brought all the more discomfort to Daniel. I have not been privy to this my Lord Daniel feared to say. You have abounded into Heaven, like a comet in the earthly night, Jesus spoke and not to yield, nor displace his look elsewhere, but to where Daniel was sitting, The brightness bears to thy soul, young Daniel. I feel as not to have brought such attention to myself when I came, Daniel stared lower; not to lock eyes with the Father, but to stare down with humility, I thought Humility is a righteous quality, Jesus kept steady and said, My Father and I are both well pleased Of man and of spirit; unlike all the others Young Daniel, you were born for such a destiny You will see I do fear I will disappoint And why so? I am man also not born just of this realm I too, was brought for the sake of My children; on earth, Jesus smiled as He continued to stare on Daniel; though he did lift up his eyes to catch Jesus in full attention of him, Not to judge, but to be judged; scorned and persecuted; to die and rise again But why, my Lord? Oh dear Daniel, Jesus smiled broadly to this, Becauseit is so simple I came into the world to save My children; because I love them so! Can there be a love which is greater than this? Daniel dared to wonder. There will be trials Daniel, Jesus grew more serious, which you will encounter I fear that I am unable to sustain Your Faith is young Jesus whispered, The legion host will be with you. And if I fail? You will not But, how to know this
7

It is your destiny What destiny, Father? Daniel looked to be distressed. Jesus stood and failed away from Daniel and He spoke. The millennium has come to evolve through time and space. There was great patience to wait for the thirteenth warrior The Legion of angels was not complete without this It is written that once the Legion is assembled, they will go to earth and impede that which Satan has desired for as long as the millennium Humanity has sinned, and still sins against the Father Our Lord has seen to witness the road of mankind; and where it will lead Is this the destiny you speak of my Lord? Daniel asked. Not to avert that which will come, Jesus responded, But to permit mankind a second hope and chance to alter this concluding fate; to yield to His Will, and to turn from their ways To accept the Gift, which, by My blood was given to them There is a second coming to unfold; a time where I shall return to claim the victory of our Lord; to cast down a new Heaven, and a new earth... The appointed time is unknown. But to only the Father is such knowledge known What is this that we are to do for thee, my Lord? Gabriel said. Satan wishes to avenge his displacement from his rank within Heaven; as to all of mans time, he has fought to dissuade humanity from their Father; to deceive, and cut mankind from the womb of Heaven I shall do all that Thou asks Father, Metatron spoke out, To what ends this may come Others within the Legion shook their heads to affirm. Satan wishes to cast out his seed to rule the world, Jesus paced throughout and spoke, As he did with Me, by temptations scorns, when I too, was in the world It was his plan to displace Me and my truer purposes from the righteousness of the Father, and the salvation of all mankind He did not succeed; his ending to all fire-cast is set; there is no further destiny for him other than this; and his legions will follow there is no hope He desires to take all with him; and with some faint hope that this will alter his end And by me becoming the thirteenth warrior, Daniel spoke aloud for all to hear, How am I to intervene, to have purpose in all this? Am I just a simple child, born onto earth for only one day, brought to Heaven so quickly, and to come here before you now, with nothing but myself to offer There is so little that I can give There was a solemn hush which resounded throughout. Jesus moved closer to Daniel where he sat, with eyes to forgive, to endear that which Daniel represents. And it is by this account that I suffered, Jesus came to one knee before Daniel, To bear the sins of the world; so that the world is born anew and to the Father may I present, My children who accept me as Lord and Saviour Young Daniel, of man and of spirit, that I too was brought into the world, as you were and to this cursory of time; that I, as much the poor carpenters child, born to a manger in Bethlehem; that you, born to a poor field hand to work the fields If by our Fathers grace and wise decision, can take
8

Me to bear the sins of the world, He paused to smile broadly on this, How much will our Father bring you to carry such importance to all of us, and to cast such influence upon the outcome of His Everlasting victory? There was a great silence which prevailed throughout this hall. The son of a poor field hand. Jesus touched Daniels sheathe and scabbard, To carry one of the flaming swords This is to be true There are only seven of them; seven in all And to have the wings of Golden hue none others have such a perch! He paused one last time in that silence. I held you such when you were first born into Heaven; and to your family this is what I spoke The first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first Jesus began to rise. Daniel, from his own compulsion and straight from his heart, he lowered and kneeled to Jesus; grasping to His hand and pleading with single speech. But master he whispered, I have so little to give The gift of you is all, is all that the Lord seeks Jesus turned with eyes to speak to all; His hands flowing with expression; but much to warning, than to grace; the expression harsh, the countenance not to abate. There was something of mirth which lept in His voice; the conflict to be unearthed; the unholiness taught; the banter and evil sway; temptations lore and fabric revealed. Satan was lurking; this was to be the case; with mantle on earth ready to establish; he had not been waned, but still progressed and to collide with what righteous humanity on earth still remained. The sounding calls; the prayers sent aloft; pleads for God from many who suffer to intervene; the Heavens now do react; the evil attends; the stronger hand comes to penetrate for victorys sake. Their mission set and established; Satan, the Devil, and Lucifer of all in dispatch has centered its plan to attack; Vlad Dracula is the one vessel they do employ; his reign to be on the outskirts of hades deploy; the army roused; the trumpets blare; much to suffering do encase; the harbor to pure evil is aware; many brought to torture; as many brought to death. The fields are led to bloody rivers; this account is all of Truth; the glorious Father in anger from such word; His ears do bend from red fire and rage; that such evil has brought carnage into His blessed abode. It is time to fly with weapons in hand; from Heavens loft, the great Legion of Angels will disband. Thirteen angels of purest intent do rise and ascend for what was meant; the handle to Heaven opens wide. There they go to be dispersed; upon the universe and stars and planets to travel; white lights like comets in the night; blazing strong with Gods truest might. They do rapture the realm of all galaxies; flying to extreme and setting the table of a universal war. Satan beware; the devil to shutter; Lucifer to be bound once more; and to this, the vessel in their sights, Vlad Dracula to feel the fullest wrath of all. His hands do rise to impale all who sit in wait; the phantoms glow as more souls do extinguish; the lights burn out; more prayers sent aloft in warning and in praise; to apprise the Father of what still remains. Vlad Dracula, the Lords army is coming; your darkest tower is to be exposed;
9

Light will reveal all; no harbor for you to remain. Those who have bled are to be at peace. Those who remain, the warriors are unleashed for reprisal. Daniel amongst them all; the throne of thirteen falling from sky and home to earth to roam; the table set; much be made of legend and of lore. The Legion of Angels do come.
