“ Then, what shall we do ?” Francesco asked.
“Just go there and I will show you how.” Satan said
“Are you sure I will not be imperiled ?” Francesco asked
“ Just do as I say.” Satan said.
Francesco obeyed Satan to go to Dominique’s place. At twilight, Francesco in his habit concealed his identity and began to lurk on Dominique.
“Now, I will get you by surprise.” Francesco said. He sighted Dominique alone from the glass window. Francesco slowly entered the iron-gates and tried to walk his way to the facade of the church. The surroundings were covered by the dark as the lights were turned off and the serenity of the place was so conducive to peace-loving individuals. Satan appeared to him.
“ Did you find him ?” he asked.
“ I saw him when I was at the side. He was alone.” Francesco said
“ But where is he now?” Satan asked.
“ He could be inside by now. Why not see him by yourself?” Francesco replied.
“ He might say something that might rebuke and hurt me. It would be better that you approach him and talk to him.” Satan said.
Francesco started to knock on the door. But nobody dared to open while Satan was on his back.
When Francesco thought that nobody was home he tried to force open the door. He was startled when a big crowd of church goers were all on their knees for an intercessory prayer. Dominique turned on the lights that held back Francesco and Satan promptly disappeared.
“ Don’t be scared Francesco. Come, and I will talk to you.” Dominique said
“ Did you know that I was coming?” Francesco asked.
“ Yes. That was anticipated. My co-workers in this church have come to welcome me in my return to the house of the Lord. They knew what happened to me and somewhere out there were our watchers that relayed the message that you were already coming. “ Dominique explained.
“ I know Satan was annoyed and frustrated. He has driven you to get here.” He added.
“ He has just evaporated when surprised by this occasion.” Francesco said.
“There is no more turning back Francesco. I am going straight now because I want to be saved in the last day. I am ready to die for whatever consequence it may bring it to me. I know that you and Satan were meditating to get me back or vindicate his disappointment.” He explained.
They were interrupted when the crowd began a chorus of heavenly songs. To Francesco the hymn of Christian songs was like an excruciating heat of fire that scorched his body.
“ I am warning you Dominique. We are friends but I tell you, Satan will not stop. Beware of his vengeance if you won’t return.” Francesco warned.
Meantime, Satan was again exasperated with the displeasing incident. Francesco went back to the ghost town
“ Gather your warriors and attack them all.” Satan said.
At that time Dominique and his company were at the ministry of the Messiah and decided to stay with the crowd of followers wherever they went
“ We opt to stay with the ministry to shun the returning enemy. I am quite sure that they have planned to get back for me.” Dominique said.
“ Yes. For sure they are on their way now to Florence. They can’t come here nearer even Satan” his friend said
As commanded by Satan,Francesco and the cult warriors arrived at the church in Florence.
“ They are not here. Where have all the church goers gone?” Francesco said.
“ They have escaped somewhere. They knew we’re coming back.” One warrior said.
“ Let’s get out of here and try to find out where they could be.” Francesco said.
Satan appeared before them while they were treading their way out of Florence
“ They have joined the ministry of the Messiah. “ Satan confirmed
“ What shall we do now?” Francesco asked.
“ Pursue them and see what you can do.” Satan said.
In the heat of the day, Francesco and the cult warriors changed their dark habits with white habits to flaunt that they were church servants. They proceeded to Venizia and hunted for Dominique and company in the midst of multitude of followers. The well-known canal in Venizia was filled with civilian passersby trying to glance at the Messiah. In their struggle to get into the crowd Francesco sensed that Dominique and his company were just behind the Messiah who was then crossing the bridge.
“ There he is! Let’s get nearer and get him .” Francesco said.
When Dominique sensed that Francesco and his cohorts were able to locate him, he tried to alert his friends to get nearer to the Messiah. Francesco led his cohorts to stride the gutter of the bridge when they found Dominique who quickly shunned them. When Dominique was able to get nearer to the Messiah, Francesco and the cult warrior grabbed his arm while Dominique’s friends struggled to prevent them causing commotion in the path of the Messiah.
“ Stop ! “ the Messiah exclaimed
And the disturbance was suddenly stopped. The crowd was motionless and silent as trouble-makers were frozen in their place.
“ You are in white-reverent habits but yet you are all evil-doers. Satan’s advocates ! Francesco, you still have enough time to change yourself and your cohorts!” the Messiah exclaimed.
Francesco could hardly utter a word and his cohorts were but scared and shocked. They all put on their hoods to hide their faces.
“ We are just following orders, Lord ” Francesco said
“ You are all filled with evil spirits that keep enslaving you to follow Satan!” the Messiah said.
The Messiah stepped forward to their direction and the crowd gave wide way. The seven hooded warriors became apparent in the middle of the road and together with Francesco they all knelt down before the Messiah. Dominique and his friends stayed away with the crowd to see what would transpire in the incident.
“ You evil spirits I command you ! Get out of their bodies ! Now !” the Messiah commanded.
A strong wind blew and all of a sudden the evil spirits that were present in their bodies evaporated and dived into the flowing water of the canal. People that witnessed the wonders of the Messiah were amazed and believed in him. Francesco and the seven warriors were relieved and like innocent men they saw light in their new world. Their mindset was changed.
“What happened ? I feel great.” Francesco said. “ I also feel great” the seven warriors said.
“ You have been freed from the bondage of Satan. Live a normal and upright living. Don’t go back to the ghost town anymore.” the Messiah said.
“ Thank you Lord” they said
“ Find the right path and sin no more. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” the Messiah said.
Francesco and his cohorts with contrite hearts were grateful also to Dominique for the incident that gave them a chance to receive liberty from their slavery. They all went their way to settle a new life. Dominique went home to Florence peacefully and contented. The Messiah visited St. Peter’s de Basilica where he was greeted and received recognition by the church servants, conclave, and the Pope.
The Messiah delivered his sermons in the presence of multitude of different nations.
“ Lord, why were we not part of the catching up in the air ? “ the Pope asked. Promptly, the Messiah replied and looked at the Pope.
“ You have been teaching the wrong doctrine to your people for so long. People have been confessing in their mouths their faith in me and God and yet their hearts and works deny and betray us.” the Messiah insinuated.
“But my people are devout and sincere in their faith in you. How about those who have been sincere in their hearts? ” the Pope said.
“ You should realize that those who are not under the law but do the works of the law may have a chance to be saved and there are those that are under the law but do not do the law are in danger of being condemned. The Spirit searches the hearts and knows them who are mine. Some of your people have been saved.” the Messiah added
“ Abandon your wrong belief. Discard all your idols and teach your people righteousness .” the Messiah said
“ Yes, Lord, Forgive us. “ the Pope said
“ There will still be more protégé that will follow the lust of their hearts and eyes if your teachings will follow the same pattern.” the Messiah added.
In his ministry to reach and save the last available living souls, the Messiah had circled the earth for the past millennium. Satan and his cohorts became even more active when his bastions from the different places on earth were being shaken and conquered by the crusades that the Messiah had been conducting to win the lost souls Satan’s ultimate stance was destruction by means of the principalities in high places. He had caused leaders of conflicting nations of Asiania and Rebel countries of North Korea and China to quarrel prompting them to intensify production of more offensive warheads for mass destruction.
Later, Satan’s desperate move was to provoke Anti-Semitism in the Middle Eastern part of the world. It would involve Israel against the Hislamic countries that were in conflict since the beginning of time. And for the last time, they would intensify the fortification of their military capabilities to repel any unpredictable attack by any one of them. Their ultimate weapons were the nuclear warheads. Weapons that no amount of metal shield nor military fortress are capable of preventing them from its annihilating anything on earth.
Satan knew it was the beginning of countdown to the second resurrection that was spontaneous of the annihilation of earth.
“ Children of the lost souls, here my word. Countdown to my ascension and the second resurrection has begun. This is my last crusade to warn you of the great destruction that will occur soon on earth. My parting word, repent and accept me and my word now !” the Messiah exclaimed. The world was in deep confusion and dreaded fear when they learned of the great catastrophe. Many were panicky that they cried and desperately trying to reach the Messiah for salvation but many were adamant in their evil ways.
“ We have always been troubled by catastrophe in this troubled world. Why fear such a typical remark from a prophet? There are many prophets that emerge in this world that say the same thing. It’s not new to our ears, fellow. C’mon let’s keep what we’ve been used to do.
”A Drunkard said “Yes. Let’s always keep ourselves happy and forget the trouble around us.” A Colleague replied.
However, people from all walks of life had different opinions about the coming event.
“ What’s the rush men?” the rich man asked.
“ There’s trouble ahead of time.” A colleague replied.
“ What makes the difference then and now? There is always trouble.” The rich man said.
“ It’s a different trouble this time. It’s the end of the world.” A colleague said.
“ The world had already ended a thousand years ago. All we have to do now is to rebuild and start making business and money.” the rich man said.
“ No, take it seriously. We might be left alone. Money can’t save us We know for a fact that there is a serious threat of bigger trouble around us. There is a big disaster coming our way.” A colleague said
“ Hey, if you think you’re going anywhere don’t do business. Start doing your own thing. Cling to your creed.” the rich man exclaimed.
“ Okay, I won’t regret if I prioritize the Messiah. Anyway, I can still do business if things get better. Money is worthless by the time trouble comes our way.” The colleague said.

The last hours for the second resurrection and the ascension of the Messiah had created anxiety among Satan and his cohorts. The first heaven was in trouble when the assembly of dark angels began massive campaign against the light angels. Rebel angels kept falling down to earth as they rebelled and sinned. And as they kept pouring down the earth, the inhabitants of the earth were filled with terror that were caused by these fallen angels that kept exhorting evil men to do evil against men.
“ The last hours are inevitable and we have to sow terror and attack the light angels !” Satan exclaimed.
“ Yes, Master we shall attack them all !” one dark angel exclaimed.
Meantime, the army of light angels commanded by Gabriel and Raphael were encircling the other side of the first heaven to repel the rebellion that was set to be launched by Satan and his cohorts. Later, the inevitable clashes between the two camps occurred. It was a spectacular confrontation of stars in heaven that when the defeated angels fell they were like shooting stars drawn down from the skies.
“ Your time, Satan is approaching and judgment is at hand !” Gabriel exclaimed
“ Yes, but I have more cohorts than ever before that I shall bring with me !” Satan exclaimed.
“ You shall be condemned to the lake of fire !” Gabriel exclaimed.
Hostilities became fierce that it created thunder and lightning in the skies. Satan and his cohorts were thrown down to earth and the first heaven was cleared and secure by the light angels led by Raphael and Gabriel. Satan and his cohorts found themselves in the labyrinth of desperation.
And suddenly at the twinkling of an eye, the Messiah began to float in the air and those living in Christ changed into glorious bodies that promptly floated also in the air. Earthquake jolted the earth and opened out the graves and the dead woke from their slumber and floated in the air.
“ What is happening now, Master?” Satan’s cohort asked.
“ The second resurrection has taken place. The Messiah has gone up to heaven with all those who died for him.” Satan replied.
“What will happen next?” his cohort asked.
“ Next is the destruction of everything on earth.” He added
“ What ? What will happen to us now?” his cohort asked
“ There is no way to end this story but to drive evil men that are left behind for us to destroy things on earth.” Satan said.
“ And we shall also be destroyed? His cohort added.
“ We shall not be destroyed anymore because we are evil spirits.” Satan replied.
“ We shall destroy those mortal men so they will join us in our destination.
” He added.
“ Where are to ?” the cohort asked.
“ To hell, our resting place.” Satan replied.
Satan and his cohorts went down to the prison cell for the last time when the earth was moved by the great quake that jolted the deepest of the deep.
“What’s going out there, Master ?” the prison Master asked.
“ The second resurrection has just taken place. The Messiah has abandoned the earth.” Satan said.
“What does it mean?” the Prison Master asked.
“ It’s our turn to own the world now?” Satan said. ”We can now be released from this cell?” Bajal asked.
“No. You can only be released here when judgment hour comes.” Satan replied.
“ I thought we own the earth already. Who shall settle here? Aren’t we and your cohorts?” Bajal asked.
“No. The earth will come to its fiery end soon and all of us will also end up to be condemned soon.” Satan replied.
“ What? Let’s force our way out here !” Bajal exclaimed.
“No way. Just wait for your turn until the earth is destroyed into rubles and everybody shall find himself in the place of condemnation.” Satan added.
And Satan and his cohorts began to cause the remaining inhabitants of the earth to provocation that went agitated against each other. Human emotions and humane nature had lost its place on earth and hatred and destruction became the prevailing ideology of the surviving settlers of every territory to protect themselves and survive. Amerika, Brittania and European countries appealed for sobriety among conflicting nations to consider sparing the
earth from nuclear annihilation.
“Is there anything we could do to stop the Red world to open fire?” the Amerikan President asked.
“ I’m sorry Mr. President but the Secretary General has already left for a troop inspection in the field. According to him, there is no more deferment for the hour set in the program. He is out for an all-out war.” the protocol said. The President was disappointed and ordered all departments to shut down and return to their respective family. All the military headquarters, stations and camps were all alerted for all eventuality of nuclear attacks as the GHQ set its war heads at the target points and programmed to be released at certain point in time. Citizens were evacuated and drawn at the specified tunnels designated for them to escape and hide.
The Prime Minister of Brittania and other European leaders did the same. They appealed for peace and sobriety but it was futile. The computers had been programmed to open fire its nuclear war heads to European targets at a specified time.
“ They really live to die. A suicidal nature of man. They are meant to destroy themselves and all the inhabitants of earth.” the Brittanian Prime Minister sighed. They set all its defense facilities to repel any nuclear attacks by the Reds and secured their citizenry to safer tunnels and all possible hiding places that may spare them from the effects of nuclear radiation.
“There is nothing we could do now Mr. Prime Minister. The final hour for mankind has come. We have to face death.” the Amerikan President said.
“ Yes, Mr. President. There is nothing we could do now as it is prophesied. Everything will always come to its end and this is our end.” the Brittanian Prime Minister said
The Amerikan President slowly walked out of the balcony of the White House. He was hopeless and desperate to see the setting sun bid goodbye to the world. The horizon was so gloomy that the four ends of the earth sympathized with the mourning souls that were waiting for darkness to swallow them all. On the other side of the earth, the mourning souls were all aware of the last hours they were waiting for the annihilating effect of the nuclear radiation. Others stood on top of the hills and mountains to see for the last time the bright morning sun and the beauty of nature that for the last glimpse would banish from their sight’s appreciation. Man-made sceneries and structures that were products of man’s effort were once and for all appreciated would come to its end.
