3

A single king, the King of Twowo rose to power and claimed to be God when he united the people into one kingdom and changed his name to the one who rules all Twowo, God of the Earth or Towratgote. Since it was true and good that Twowo be ruled by such a man using the most practical form of rule there can be on Earth it looked like the end.

Now by that time the Yogs were all known by Yog and the Yog of Unites their word for units or bags the name of the whole nation of Twowo came to the palace of the Towartgote I am more or Iam and said, “It is not good that you make slaves of the people to build grand estates for you using such hard labor they at a very young age. If you do not repent John will come against you for the people have cried out to him to do something about it though it is not evil to make slaves and being slaves to work them as hard as you their master sees fit. But they die and you are the cause of it. You will be cursed if you continue and your nation taken away from you and given to another.”

He said this because John had done it with other Towratgotes but it made no difference the others did the same thing. All over Twowo people were dying by the age of thirty-five or forty years old.

Towratgote called a council together and asked, “What am I to do? How can I fight against the Yog?”

“Are they not men like us?” one of his advisers said. “Make them slaves!”

But those into magic said, “The only way to fight a Yog is to defeat his God which is supernatural power against the supernatural powers of God. You are within your moral rights to make slaves and use them anyway you choose. To add to their burdens or to take them away. God is moral. He will do nothing to you for you are right. We will make them weak so that they die at even a younger age when they are in their prime.”

What could John do? They were right. Therefore he used the power of levitation to raise the blocks for the buildings into place for the huge ornate and immaculate monuments to architecture like the Earth had never seen. Their burdens were raised. The Towratgote gave the labor to even fewer to hoist the blocks and to those who brought them on logs and only increased the number of his slaves to cut them out of the quarries. John made it so they hardly had to swing the hammer to drive the chisels and the rocks were cut in perfect lines both to the right and left and from top to bottom with the tops and bottoms being remarkably flat so that they rolled easily. Then he reduced their weight while being moved on rounder logs to the sites. But those raising the blocks into place found them remarkably lighter, requiring not more than they could handle but less than was required of them. And it was so.

Soon the Towratgote said, “See! I am God. I have made your work easier so that you might not die. Where is this John? I have heard him but once in my life and I paid him no mind. But you see that what I say is true.”

“Therefore,” said the Yog of Unites, “I will destroy the palace of the Gote and it will be rubble but I will save him alive.”

Immediately the ground moved and the palace shook and the Towratgote came running out naked for he was in the bath. The palace remained so I hit it again and this time the palace fell and great was the fall of it. They wrapped the Towratgote in a bed sheet as the people laughed but he said, “What do I not have the right to destroy my own palace even if I did not believe I had the power to do so and caught myself off guard?” But the people did not believe him and laughed all the more though everyone in the palace but him were buried alive even all his wives.

The Yog of Unites had compassion on the Towratgote and asked him privately, “Who warned you the palace was about to fall?”

He did not know but it was John himself.

“If you live in a tent behind any palace they make for you it will not fall on you and you will at least be alive,” the Yog of Unites said to him.

“Because you have said this, you will be one of my advisers from now on,” the Towratgote said to him and since that day the Towratgote has lived in the palace and the Towratgote in a tent behind the palace where he even held meetings and would not even enter the palace to address the people or be raised to any high platform.

Now John spoke to the Yog of Unites and said, “Why have you warned the Gote against me? He will not fear me now. You will be punished.”

“I had compassion on him,” the Yog of Unites said, “You nearly destroyed his soul.”

“That was my intent,” John said, “Anything you say will be held against you and I will not take your part.”

“Am I to be punished for being loving and righteous?” the Yog of Unites said.

“You have said it,” John said, “For you did not mention that it was for being good. You will learn to be good from me. You have saved a life I intended to take for blasphemy and claiming he did my miracles. You will be called One Who Protected Evil or Owpe from now on.”

“Oh! God!” Owpe protested, “Have mercy on me. My emotions have gotten away from me and have stolen my wisdom.”

“It will only be for as long as this Gote lives,” John said, “Then you will be a Yog again but not of this city. Unites, the most prestigious post will be given to someone else, you rascal.”

Then the Yog of Unites said in his heart that he would help the God of this world rather than John the rest of his life. Then he went to see the Towratgote in his tent. He was pleasantly greeted and he sat down before him.

“If you clear the hill near where the palace is already starting to be rebuilt you can move your tent to the top and address the people from there,” the Owpe said to the Towratgote.

The Towratgote ordered it done at once.

“Then have them introduce you at the beginning of every address as the God of this Earth for that you are and John cannot object to you using your true title. He himself has used it to speak of you to me,” Owpe said. “Then live in your tent and be safe.”

At one a gale force wind struck the tent from the east though it was in a place where most strong winds come from the west and Owpe knew that John was angry. The tent was taken up and landed in a heap in the yard of a mansion 100 feet away. Owpe and the Towratgote were amazed and afraid but had done nothing wrong but draw up the plans. Then it hailed with large hailstones on the two and those there about the size of a softball. They all including Owpe took shelter in the tool sheds of the royal gardens except the Towratgote who was hit in the head and fell dead.

The son of Towratgote became the inheritor of all that he had including his new official title God of this Earth. That Towratgote was thrown into the abyss in fear but thought he had survived and dreamed that he was still Towratgote and that Owpe was his survivor. 

It did nothing to Owpe except he was made the Yog of a much smaller and insignificant city while that city’s Yog took his place in Unites.

The youngest of Towratgotes was crowned in his father’s place but in the palace when Owpe took time off from his duties in Poquitos which meant little as Yog of that city to stand before the Towratgote.

“Your highness,” he addressed the new Towratgote, “I have been an adviser to your father and am given an insulting position as Yog or Poquitos. It is my hope that you would have me as an advisor to his highness.”

“His advice resulted in the death of your father,” one of His Highness’ advisers said.

He offered Owpe a post as head dishwasher for the Towratgotes household which he refused. Owpe then went back to the ghost town in the hills of the wilderness where the Yogs had all lived taking his wife with him. There he lives in disgrace.

The young Towratgote stepped up his father’s tradition of building immaculate ornate buildings and even entire towns and cities. As a result nearly everyone, not a slave driver or a soldier became a slave and the outcry to John was heard in every part of the Earth because they all wanted freedom.

John said to them through the Yogs in the cities, “If you rebel I will take your part for I have replaced the Towratgote only to be given another.”

It was a bluff for it is a sin to incite sedition. But when the inexperienced Towratgote heard it he immediately gave up building and turned to more youthful pursuits.

Then one day Owpe was back and went up on the hill and began to speak saying, “I am a Yog. I used to be Yog in this city as many of you know. I am not a Yog of any city now and am known as Owpe, One Who Protected Evil. I have come here to prophesy. Come hear what I have to say!” over and over until much of the city was in attendance.

Then Owpe said, “John can save you! He has power to save anyone from their sins and curses unto death. He said in his man before he became God that he was God and that is blasphemy for a man. He was put to death on a tomorrow in the future where he died and tomorrow came the very next day. His spirit died and his mind and heart may have I do not know. He is a cursed God.”

Now that is all correct but John never did anything wrong for prophetically he was God and did not even lie let alone blaspheme except for one technicality. It is blasphemy for any man to say he is God. But Owpe did not explain that.

“You follow a God that could save you if he would!” Owpe said. But how he knew John had no idea. “Come to me those who are tired and weary from their sins and heavy laden with guilt. I will set you free in his name. Then you will be, as a Yog and live forever if not here then in another place. He has died to take the place of any sinner by crucifixion being hung on a tree until dead and God’s law says, ‘Everyone hung on a tree is evil!’ He takes your evil and places it on his cross and you are not guilty anymore.”

Then he went down to the large pool at the bottom of the hill and began baptizing them in John’s name, but it did no good for John had not died for any of these men and women and children and they would have to be changed to become gods before he could save them. But Jesus took them and made them men of heaven to become gods. But many said, “It was done in the heavens toward the end of all life, even the life of the gods!” and again John hadn’t intended they know and yet somehow they knew. Others said, “He is making it up to get back at John! He is a false prophet! Let John take care of him!!”

Then the Yog of Unites came running down to the hill and shouted, “He is right! But you have not been saved in John but Jesus. Jesus died for the sins of all of man, not just a few gods in heaven that crucified him. Baptize them in the name of the King of Creation! Jesus the King.”

When Owpe heard this he was amazed he had persuaded even the Yog of the city. So he began baptizing them in the name of Jesus and the Spirit of Spirits descended upon them as they believed in Jesus’ name. Even the Towratgate wanted to be baptized but he could not submit to any man. He was God of this Earth. Only John could forgive him and make a good God of him. 

So he had the Yog of Unites ask to see the Towratgote.

When he was given access he said, “Honorable Towratgote, you want to be baptized? I know that you do. But you are a god and cannot be baptized. Change your mind about any evil you ever did and continue in love and goodness and righteousness and you can live forever if not in this place then in that other.”

“I so, do it!!!” he shouted at the top of his lungs and as the word spread many thousands of people were saved to go to be with Jesus and to be or become gods in him. Nearly one in three were saved just on the word of the Yog of Unites.

Those in the New Earth cheered at the sight and the people of Twowo made much merriment and sent each other presents and celebrated about a month.

The Yogs wanted to know what happened to them but both Owpe and the Yog of Unites were at a loss and just said, “But we are already good, loving and righteous and we live forever. What would we gain?” As a result the Yogs celebrated with them but only because they were glad for their good fortune.

Owpe prophesied to the Towratgote in private, “This is just a fad. People will come but since they have no proof of any of this but the Yog’s word they will have little faith and fall only to make it seem that nothing has changed then unbelief will be their favorite sin and at last Jesus will be just another God to them. Even you will fall away, my Towratgate. You will not understand for no one has explained to you the way of Jesus. Unless he comes to this Earth to show them the way there will in the end of it be only John and the Spirit of Spirits ways left on Twowo again.”

The young Towratgote had him locked away in the tower until such time as he would say that he was lying or amend his prophecy to make it all come out the way it looked at the time. Owpe was imprisoned all the days of the Towratgote’s reign for he forgot him and did not remember he had him in prison but when he did he kept him there as a false prophet for saying that Jesus had come to them and the Spirit of Spirits was upon them.

But his son had compassion for the Yog and reinstated him as the Yog of Unites and sent the  current Yog back to Poquitos to make up for what his father had done to them even though he had left off building the beautiful buildings and men and women again lived about 60 years and all of those the Towratgote had set free who were and therefore are in Jesus they were again made slaves and the whole Earth was rulers, soldiers and slaves once again and it looks like Owpe’s prophecy has come out that way but when reinstated he prophesied it would not always be that way in John.
