EXCERPT: THE TESTAMENT OF ELI

I thought this was it, the Biblical Armageddon. Despite all I had learned, all that I had studied and thought I understood, it all comes down to the prophecy of John? Mantrella was so bright I could hardly look upon him. His eyes drew mine to his and what followed … well, all I can do is to tell my tale.
I heard the sound of trumpets, and, to this day, I do not know if they were just in my head or if they had a presence in the physical world. Before me, suspended in air, were these words:

Then I ascended to the gate of my dear father's great love and adoring her, heshe received us joyfully in herhis queendom and our dear Father was so happy, that we had brought our precious pearl to our Mother.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
These things saith the A-men, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness …
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam …
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden … Ye shall not eat of it
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever…
And I will give him the morning star.
He, She, Us, eat that which was forbidden, now offered, sleep, as one of us, the Morning Star; all words that drilled into my brain, my heart and my soul. Man is one of us, I give to eat of the tree of life, did I not say ye are gods. And, perhaps most of all, the beginning of the creation of God.
