Day and night begin

Innocence lost death awaits’

Salvation comes with a price

 

Connection unplugged

The garden; now a desert

As she menstruates he hunts

With a heavy heart Lucifina turned Her attention back to Adam and Eve and was filled with a profound sadness at the turn of events that led to their manipulated fall. She had to remind Herself that it was their own weaknesses and inherent flaws that precipitated their fall, even though Her little push sped up the process. When Death asked a favor, how can one refuse. Lucifina looked down upon the two distraught souls and decided they were worthy of Her love and guidance and made a vow that She would not abandon them to the cruelties of fate as did GOD to Lucifer. So with a soft and loving tone, She said unto them:

 

Though you walk into the darkness to face much suffering and sorrow; joy you will know as well. I will walk with you when the times are hard and lift you up to walk another day My Voice may come to you in a whisper or a shout but I will always be there when you choose to listen. Know that their will be many Voices that will vie for your attention but know that Mine is the One that truly loves you. The road that you choose to walk on will now be determined by you, so choose wisely, and let faith and hope tag along beside you, rather then the hopelessness of despair.

 

Adam and Eve were uplifted in spirit from God’s words. Adam still too shamed to speak directly to God, whispered in Eves ear for God to further expound on what lie ahead. He was a wreak of a man, who clung on the Eve as a child to her mother and if not for her, would have drowned from the weight of his sin. So Eve opened her voice to God and said:

 

 

Oh Great God in Heaven, Your Words have taken the weight of our sins off our shoulders and made them lighter to bear. We shall be steady of heart as we enter into the night and hold on tight to the little of the light we have left. But before we are thrown into the cold can you tell us about some of the traps that will lie along the path that we will limp along

on

 

Lucifina who was the Voice of God said:

 

 

You will now be subject to times chains where as each second passes is a second closer to your death. Your physical bodies will age, become subject to sickness, disease and decay. Your beauty will fade and your mind will lose the clarity of youth. Then death will come and your body will rot and become ash and dust. Your body and spirit will be subject to and be shaped by Death while your soul will be subject to God and shaped by you. The only thing that will be provided for you is what you provide yourself. Your time in paradise is near an end, for I hear Death calling but before you enter into ITS domain their is one choice I will leave up to you. As your physical body dies and your spirit melts back into the wind your soul will be collected by Death and placed in the nether regions of ITS domain. In this region you will be as a shade, reflecting on the deeds and actions of the life that was led. Death and ITS consorts will make judgment on weather to put your soul to sleep till final judgment –send it to Hell for punishment- To heaven for reward- or back in the world with little or no memory of its previous life to fulfill its obligations not met in its previous life. After each death this cycle will continue till the end of time. The choice I offer you is this: To let Death decide your fate-upon death to sleep until final judgment-To repeat the cycle of life until the end of time with full memory of each and every previous life lived.

 

 

Adam and Eve were overwhelmed by the immensity of it all and the ramifications that their actions precipitated for them and all their future children and their children’s children. They both conferred with each other concerning about the choice God offered them and this time it was Adam who decided to speak for them both concerning their choice. He said unto God:

 

Oh Most Merciful and Forgiving God, we choose the third choice, for our sins warrant that we must. Although the first will give us a blissful ignorance of our past sins and the second a sweet rest till final judgment, it’s in the third that we can right the wrong of our sins and help our progeny to a quicker salvation.

 

Lucifina was most pleased at their decision and decided that they were worthy of one more gift. She said unto Her beloved children:

 

 

You have proven to Me that you are worthy of My love. Now Is the time for you to depart and begin your journey into mortality. Be not distressed, for I will direct MY Only Begotten Son; who from you Adam, is also the Son of your seed and from you Eve, the Son of your womb; to watch over you and your progeny, and when the time is right, to take on the sins of the world unto Himself. The Gate is open, do now depart.

 

As Adam and Eve headed toward the Gate, standing before them, to help lead them the way out, stood Joshua, The Son of God and Man. Adam and Eve both wept at His feet with joy and He gathered them up and kissed them as a Son to his parents and led them to Death’s domain…

As Lucifer watched the last of Gabriel’s angels disappear into the red flames of Death’s sandbox, He only hoped that the Gabriel He knew, had found a few moments of joy with his soul twin Gabriella, before being devoured by GOD and becoming that Thing of Death. Under His breath He muttered a last farewell to an old friend and then continued on to meet His destiny, for the moon waxed full and had reached its apex, and He never was one to be late.

 

Lucifina ordered Her angels to seal the gate and put the Garden to flame, so as to purify it from its contamination. The Garden was to remain barren and turned to desert till such a time when Man is redeemed from its sins by Her only begotten Son, Joshua. Upon Man’s redemption the Garden will re-emerge as it once was, and welcome the Blessed. Until such time, Joshua and His angels shall dwell amongst the ruins of the Garden, so they be reminded that from the ashes, does a Phoenix arise. As Joshua returned to Lucifina’s embrace, She directed Her angels to sound the trumpets and to march forward to the Third Circle of what was once Paradise, so as to meet with Her destiny, for the moon waxed full and had reached its apex, and She was never one to be late.

 

Death’s wait was over as IT watched Adam and Eve arrive in Mortality’s Gate. They looked lost and afraid as they gazed at the harsh and forbidding land that lay before them. IT laughed at their discomfort, for had they realized it was their blood mingled with the blood of the root that IT used to sprinkle in ITS life creating soup, creating myriad forms of life, evolving and devolving to what it was now, they would be more impressed. IT laughed again at the irony, for as it was from the cloth of Lucifer’s bones did this universe form, so too was it from the cloth of the blood of their bones, did this world as well come to be. Such is the way of GOD. Death looked at the moon and saw it wax full, time for IT to pay a surprise visit to the gathering powers, but IT decided to wait a little longer, for IT so enjoyed in being late….

All looked towards the sky as the Angels Trumpets announced the arrival of Lucifina of the Morning Sun. Sitting upon a celestial cloud with Joshua standing beside Her, sat a vision of absolute beauty and delicacy. Her wings of gold and platinum silhouetted against the moonlit sky were breathtaking to behold. A dazzling rainbow of colors cascaded throughout Her hair and eyes, filling the night sky with a heavenly radiance that could calm even the most savage of beasts. Her skin as smooth as glass and silkiest of whites, made one weep at its perfection. She was the glory and favorite child of GOD, and as She rose and descended off Her cloud; the earth sighed with pleasure, at the feel of Her feet on its naked dirt.

 

As Lucifer looked upon Lucifina His heart ached for what once was, and His loss was all the more hard to bear. As Lucifina looked upon Lucifer, tears fell from Her eyes as memories of their days together danced in Her head. The Beauty and the Beast, together again at last…

Oh Great God in Heaven, Your Words have taken the weight of our sins off our shoulders and made them lighter to bear. We shall be steady of heart as we enter into the night and hold on tight to the little of the light we have left. But before we are thrown into the cold can you tell us about some of the traps that will lie along the path that we will limp along

Yes! So true, I really like this.
When we ask for forgiveness repeatly does he still forgive us?
I often wonder does he really?

I know God forgive us of our sins
But when we sin and he makes it ligter to bear
why do i still feel it inside? Why cna't i forgive myself when he can?

I guess I need to do some deep soul searching.
Wonderful write and lesson for me to ponder on.
