The people would apparently know and acknowledge that He was the Savior who had come to save for the last time the lost and defiant souls where multitude would promptly cleave and worship Him. However, those nations that had not seen Him would still cleave to that which was their usual way of belief and living. They would continue to live the usual way although gospel preaching had reached their knowledge.
The Christ spoke in different languages that could be understood by the different nations speaking varying tongues.
“ I have come again for the last chance to those who were left behind, so that they may be saved before the earth ends. Whoever shall hear me, shall be saved because my sheep know their shepherd wherever they hear His voice” the Christ said.
Men of diverse beliefs would approach and mock Him and even the violent men who did not acknowledge Him would tend to mob and harm Him, but to their amazement and atonement they would be disabled without any human intervention. Different religious congregations from afar were all eager to see Him to worship and embrace his teachings. Likewise, Reverend John Lee and his congregation would be much more willing to see and worship Him. They would track down his whereabouts and promptly follow his trace.
Despite a multitude of eager and penitent people surrounding the Lord in his ministry, John Lee and his followers hardly got nearer. John Lee and his followers knelt down and in his slurring humble voice, he released his wishes.
“ Lord, I and my congregation had done an abominable sin in your sight. Can we all ask for your forgiveness so we can be saved on our last days on earth ?” John Lee asked.
“ What is it that you had made you sin? “ the Lord asked.
“ I compromised my faith in you because of the persecution of Lucianus. I was forced to teach his evil doctrine to my people that misled them. I lived a comfort life in exchange for my treachery. I could not defy Lucianus for fear of getting killed with my followers. Because we were indulged to sins we were not left behind.” He explained.
“ Your contrite heart will give you a chance to be saved. Go with your people for a renewal and teach the gospel of salvation. Stand still to your faith all the days of lives ” the Lord commanded.
John Lee and his congregation went away with a great hope of salvation . Their anxiety and fear were replaced with courage and hope after hearing the pronouncement of the Lord. Leaders of various governments embracing diverse faith would send their emissary to request Him to visit them for indoctrination and to experience salvation. Meantime, the remnants of Lucianus in Vathikan were still stunned by the spectacular scene they witnessed after the catching up. Bruno Casseli, the trusted ally of Lucianus, was an elite church administrator when Lucianus and his cult warriors suffered the consequences when struck by a great lightning at the towering citadel. However, the surviving cult warriors of Lucianus escaped to the rocky mountains in a rustic town of Italia.
Today, Casseli was leading the rehabilitation of the government that the Lucianus administration had left in the Vathikan States while the member nations sought independence from their political influence. The Vathikan States was dissolved and the Republican government of Italia was established separating the church and the state. St. Peter’s de Basilica and Vathikan City remained the seat of religious center for those traditional followers of their faith. Other governments commenced the reparation of ruined relations with the Republic of Italia.
Eventually, Christ blessed and healed the lands that suffered and were ruined by the frequent natural disasters that haunted the earth. Gradually, plunged economy revived as people became hopeful for a better living. Economy and political rehabilitation were initiated by the leaders of various nations that eventually showed signs of development and growth prompting the restoration of normal living for the inhabitants of the earth.
While the Christ continued his ministry everywhere, the ecclesiastical groups from different countries joined and supported him in the evangelization. However, normalcy in people’s living eventually returned indulgences and other sorts of immoderation in society that inspired devil’s advocacy. Evil men emerged to defy Christ and even mobbed him in the midst of his disciples but in their astonishment the Divine power of the Messiah would marvelously prevent any evil scheme to hinder his ministry.

The Messiah wandered the different places on earth. He visited ends of the earth to propagate the gospel of salvation to all the people that had not heard and known God. He trod the rough road of the ill-fated towns of India where ethnic inhabitants did not believe God but instead worshipped species of mammals, birds and different creatures.
He touched and healed the sick and restored life to dead ones. Again, history repeated itself as the bible told about his miracles in different places in the age where man had explored the space and had too far in the field of science and technology.
In Russia, the great seat of Communism that did not believe in God, the Messiah dauntlessly visited its leaders to introduce the gospel of salvation. The Messiah’s words were like a double-edged sword and irresistible that leaders were marvelously touched and became emotional thereby prompting them to kneel and worship the Messiah. They cried, “ Really, this man is the Son of God. He is from heaven.”
The crusade continued in the towns, cities and the rural areas of Russia where throngs of people were converted and followed him. In the Philippines, where people were said to be so religious welcomed all sorts of religion coming into the archipelago that most of them were divided when groups formed different cults for different motives. There were many large known congregations established by enthusiastic religious leaders. One of them would introduce himself as Bro. Peter Villacueva, who was called a charismatic leader whose passion for ideology caused him to found a cult after being a political prisoner of the past government where he defied its administration
“I have been preaching your gospel Lord but why did my church not included in the rapture?” Villacueva asked. “ Did you have the right motive in preaching my gospel?” the Messiah asked. “ Yes, Lord. In fact I gathered millions of followers all over the country now because of your gospel. I have built a large worship center in the metropolis where we can assemble with all other preachers around the world. I have built this for your glory.” Villacueva said
“ Does God dwell in the house built by the hands man?” the Messiah asked.
“ We worship you in spirit and truth.” He replied. “ You have gained a lot of wealth from your religious activity and yet did not even feed the poor? You have always been looking forward to occupying high position in the government and you don’t stop your career-ambition in politics and preaching the word of righteousness.” the Messiah insinuated..
“ I have been pursuing my political ambition in order to lead the nation into righteousness and to God.” He replied.
“ You cannot serve two masters at the same time. Your heart is in politics and you use religion to gain popularity and wealth to be used in your ambition. You have been doing things in order to achieve things for yourself. You have become like a traditional politician making religion an instrument to achieve ambition” the Messiah said.
“ But my motive is pure and good for the people” Villacueva said.
“ If you believe you are a leader of a church, then your responsibility for your congregation is enormous that salvation of their souls is bestowed upon your shoulder. How can you save them when even yourself cannot be saved when your motive is earthly.” the Messiah said.
Villacueva kept silent and realized his shortcomings. With a contrite heart he was humbled and walked away. The Messiah trod his way to the metropolis in a glamorous mall where one of the opulent congregations of the rich and famous used to assemble for their Sunday family worship. The church Pastor, named, Edward Tan Cho approached the Messiah and paid respect. Tan Cho humbly showed his congregation that all knelt down before the Messiah.
“ Lord, we have been sorry for our iniquity that we were left behind the rapture. Me
and my congregation wandered why we were left behind.”Tan Cho said.
“ You and your rich congregation have led away from righteousness. You have been leading the wrong path when you were drunk by the comfort and pleasure of your congregation.” The Messiah said.
“But we have been having bible study as scheduled every now and then.” Tan Cho insinuated
“ The Spirit searches the hearts of men. You cannot hide anything. You have been praising God by your mouth but your work and motive have denied Godliness.” the Messiah explained. “ We have read and studied the word in truth.” Tan Cho added.
“ You have read and studied the word but you did not understand the mystery of the word. You took the word plainly and literally. Word is done in parables to those who have not sought the mystery of the it. But to those chosen to know the mystery of the Word, they will find refuge and salvation through the word.” the Messiah explained.
“ But how shall we find the mystery of the word and be saved for the second resurrection of the dead?” Tan Cho asked
“ Repent and change your heart and mind. Abandon the motive of comfort and luxuries in life. Lead a righteous life.” the Messiah insinuated.
Pastor Tan Cho and his congregation wept and realized that salvation for the second resurrection is much more important than all the comfort and luxuries that had caused their faith to wander for a long time. Meantime, the surviving cult warriors of Lucianus led by a dynamic and charismatic religious fanatic, named, Francesco Garipotti were inhabiting the thinly-populated remote area in Italia. The sight of the ghostly-town called, Skull county was so gloomy and evasive to people who allegedly believed that the place was a place for the devil.
In their black habits they would assemble in a hidden area to continue their occult activity.
“ We will remain an advocate of the Lucianus’ religious and political ideology and will restart all over again in this place.” Francesco urged. The dreadful and creepy ritualistic litany of the group would be inspired by the creepy appearance of Satan.
“ You will continue my advocacy and you will do the work of my servant, Lucianus. “ Satan said.
Francesco and his cohorts would kneel down before him.
“ My time and your time are approaching. We have to win more followers and sow our advocacy. The Messiah has come to save them for the last time.” Satan insinuated.
“ But what shall we do to start everything?” Francesco asked.
“ Just go and I shall teach you how. You have to move quickly, now that the Messiah has come and propagating the gospel.” Satan said.
“ People have witnessed his coming and believed in him. How can we convince the people to follow us.” Francesco added.
“ You have been isolated from the rest of the world and confined in this place since the coming of the Messiah and you have not seen what has been transpiring in the outside world.” Satan continued.
“ What do you mean ?” Francesco asked.
“ The Messiah will rule for a thousand years on earth. He is not covered by time and so generations to come will come to see his days to be saved. We shall establish again our kingdom for the next generations to come.” He said.
“ What do you want us to do now?” Francesco asked.
“ Go to Rome, Italia and visit the St. Peter’s de Basilica. The biggest church gatherings and the center of worship in the country. I still have surviving cohorts there. Try getting acquainted with them and lead them. There, you shall begin.” Satan commanded.
Satan was restless and anxious about the future of his advocacy on earth since multitude of his followers were now converted to follow the Messiah. He cracked down into the bottom of the earth to see his cohorts behind the dark prison cells.
“ What is going on up there Master ? We’ve been shocked by the tremendous tremor that emanated above? What was that?” the Prison Master asked.
“ Don’t you know that the Messiah has come ? It was an spectacular event that every mankind had witnessed on earth.” Satan replied.
“ What ? Did you mean that our time has come ?” the Prison Master asked.
“ No not yet. It was the day of resurrection and the catching up in the air for those who died in Christ and also the living. They suddenly changed into a glorified body and floated in the air to meet the Messiah in the clouds with all His angels.” Satan insinuated.
“ You mean to say, we are already facing the great white throne judgment?” he continued.
“ No. We will not yet be judged for now. Christ is here to reign for a thousand years on earth to give chance to those who are still with us. He is propagating the gospel of salvation to be heard by those who do not believe in him.” Satan added.
“ What are you here for Master ?” asked the Prison Master.
“ To tell you that our time is fast approaching . However, our time will come when a thousand reign of Christ is over and the second resurrection of the dead who did not have Christ will occur. ” Satan replied.
“ What do you mean ?” the Prison Master asked.
“ The Messiah is now on top of the earth to save mankind. We’ve been losing our stronghold on earth.” He said.
“ What do you worry about ?” he asked.
“ I should not wonder. You know nothing about God’s written word. I must explain to you that it has been the sign that our time is coming to an end after a thousand reign of Christ on earth.” Satan explained.
“ What about God’s written word ? What is it all about?” the prison Master continued to ask.
“ It is the testament called the bible. A prophetic book that tells the fate of mankind, the heavens and earth. And even our destiny is written on that book. Together with them is the time of judgment for us. I have to intensify my campaign to sow my advocacy to snatch mankind from him.” He continued
“ Isn’t this place our final resting place and destiny?” the Prison Master asked.
“ No ! We will be judged in the last day to our final destiny, the lake of fire or hell !” Satan said.
“ What !?” he exclaimed.
“ What a hell !? Burning lake of fire ?” the anxious and stunned cohorts exclaimed.
They all groaned and wept for help to be freed from the dark cell.
“ You have no more chance to appeal for salvation because we are all condemned to hell.” Satan said.
Bajal and Lucianus appeared from the multitude of condemned spirits.
“ Master, my son and I will help you re-establish a kingdom on earth. Just let us be freed from this dark cell.” Bajal appealed to Satan.
“ I have no power to release you from this cell. Not even the Prison Master can destroy the cell for any one of you to escape. The Prison Master cannot even escape from this dark bottom because his job is to keep an eye and open the cell for the downed spirits.” Satan asked.
“ Who has the power to destroy and open this cell?” Lucianus asked.
“ Only God and the Messiah. God created this cell for the devil like us and will only be opened to release all in the day of judgment.” He added.
Then, male and female groaned and gnashed their teeth in agony.
“ Why did they not tell about it ?” they groaned.
“ We should accept the coming wrath of God for us because we had become evil on earth.” Said some of them.
“ Then, why are you still out there and not join us here ?” Bajal asked.
“ I did not become flesh and blood in the beginning. I had been a sinning spirit from the beginning but will join you in the last day.” Satan said. After his visit below the earth, Satan ascended to the earth to continue his mission. He urged and drove evil men to continue their devil’s advocacy.
31
Satan went up to first heaven where his cohorts were hibernating to lure and mock other spirit angels above them. He was stunned and shuddered when he heard the thundering and rapids-like voice of the Almighty.
“ Where have you been Satan?” God asked.
<
br /> “ I descended to earth Lord “ he replied.
“ What did you do there?” God continued.
“ I visited the dwelling place of my followers.” He replied.
“ You went down to continue your advocacy.” God insinuated.
“ I can’t deny Lord.” He replied.
“ You have been dragging many innocent souls to death even to their last chance on earth.” God added.
“ You have been condemned to that path since time immemorial. Why implicate innocent souls in your destiny?” God insinuated
“I don’t want us to be alone in hell my Lord.” He replied.
“ You have no more reasons to convince innocent souls to go with you and you have been lying to them all their days on earth.” God said.
“ What lies did I say to them Lord?” Satan asked.
“ You want to appear to them that you are the real angel of light by deceiving them since the beginning .” God said.
“ I don’t understand you Lord. What do you want to insinuate?” he asked.
“ You had been citing, portraying and persuading souls of your righteousness. What account of righteousness did you intend to portray to them since the beginning of time?” God asked.
“ I had made kings to rule people and improved their lives.” Satan said.
“ You had made corrupt and murderers to occupy high positions in government ? Kings and Queens that killed innocent souls?” God explained.
“ What did leaders, Kings and Queens do to the living souls Lord?” Satan asked.
“ Who had dragged and moved King Rameses of Egypt to pre-meditate the murder of infant Moses that sacrificed the lives of many infants ? Was it not you?” God explained.
