CHAPTER 6
At the grave
After breakfast he drove inland to a sleepy little village where his wife had grown up and had never quite got away from it. He had shared her childhood memories with her many times and a sadness played around the corner of her mouth every time she remembered and made him realize that she had never completely got over her departure from home. There, in the idyllic cemetery, they had both been laid to rest.
He hadn't been able to attend the funeral. He entered the cemetery and his heart pounded to heaven. He could hear it pounding so loudly it struck. He walked slowly past the graves until he had reached the destination of his journey. He looked at two wooden crosses, the stonemason was still going to finish the tombstones, and a sea of flowers and wreaths. Someone had pinned the photos of the deceased on the crosses and wrote under them:
Why?
Why? He didn't know it with his mind either, but his feeling comforted him beyond measure and told him that this event also belonged in the great plan of the Creator. This gave him comfort and even a feeling of security. Hope germinated in him. Hope one day to get all over the pain
Sara was that glimmer of hope that he saw shining, more every day as he only now noticed. He knelt in front of the graves and prayed a long prayer. Tears ran down his face but the wind, yes the wind, dried them with a delicate breath from his eyes. On the way back to Calais a feeling of overwhelming grief overcame him again but the thought of Michael an archangel sent by God gave him strength and confidence to continue on his way. When he arrived in Calais, he quickly sorted his notes in order to then be on the way to a meeting with Michael in anticipation. Michael was studying a newspaper which he put aside when Robespierre entered the cafe. After ordering himself and Michael a cafe, Michael continued with the story about Judas.
Well, we had ended where Judas returned to the disciples. Once there, he went to sleep. Restlessly he rolled from one side to the other while he relived the events in the desert. He awoke bathed in sweat and suddenly he felt the presence of Michael. It gave him incredible strength and gave him back his dignity. Because he felt unworthy after witnessing the presence of the Archangels of God. Thirty-nine days were to be left to wait for Jesus. Judas used the time to quench his thirst for knowledge, but it was the conversations with the scholars that brought him forward. They gave him access to the knowledge that Michael had transferred to him through his arrival. Only through the questions formulated by the scholars did he recognize the answers which, when summed up, gave a picture of everything. He longed to understand it.
He spent the remaining days and nights in deep prayers to gain knowledge, to show him a solution, to understand his way. Sometimes it seemed to him that Michael's soul left his body for a few days. Then he felt helpless and small and his mind tried to realize, process, and believe the acquired information. Because he was weak and felt helpless and small without the overpowering soul of Michael. Jesus finally returned and the relief among his disciples was indescribable. The next day they left for weeks
to hike to the surrounding villages. Jesus, inspired by Gabriel, preached so fascinatingly that hardly anyone was able to evade this conclusion. At some point they also reached Magdala.
Jesus met Mary (Mary Magdalene or Mary of Magdala is a disciple of Jesus Christ reported in the New Testament of the Bible. All four evangelists mention her as a witness of the resurrection.
Her nickname probably comes from the place Magdala (today Migdal) on the Sea of Galilee), when she was insulted as a whore by the young people in the village square. He freed her from her predicament by putting his arm around her and taking her away with him, which gave the pack a loud applause. After taking money and jewelry from her house, as well as a few items of clothing to protect her from the nightly cold, they left Magdala never to return to this place. Jesus adored Mary from the first moment, yes he treated her as if she were the purest being on this earth.
He preferred their company to that of his disciples, which after a short time led to jealousy among his companions. Their jealous behavior towards Jesus was more reminiscent of childhood behavior than the way adults should treat one another. During the day he continued to preach fascinatingly with a charisma that no one could escape, but
the nights were reserved exclusively for Mary to discuss with her, as they differed on many points of view. One day Jesus told his disciples that he wanted to marry Mary Magdalene. They intended to host the wedding celebrations in Canaan and would be happy about everyone who takes part. All disciples could feel a certain jealousy
not withdraw, even Judas. He put a certain irritation in dealing with his
Comrades to the day. Even on the day of the wedding he stayed away from everyone. His eyes were only looking for Jesus and Mary. She was an incredibly attractive bride. Her wedding dress, in a delicate pastel shade, emphasized the dark color of her hair, which curled gently in the wind as the ceremony took place. Jesus also put on a suitable robe for the occasion, which gave him authority and charisma. After the wedding, his guests occupied him so much that he couldn't find time to congratulate his disciples, which caused an irritable mood among them. Judas did not take his eyes off the couple. His eyes sought the gaze of Mary, because the love she radiated for Jesus was of an unearthly grace, in which he would have gladly taken part.
wedding-night
Late, on the warm and clear summer night, the stars sparkled with a strength and beauty as if they were trying to do justice to this occasion, to celebrate this great love. It is possible that his consciousness had expanded to such an extent that it enabled him to see things, all things, in a different light. The couple left the festivities late at night, and Judas followed them at a due distance, so
that under no circumstances would they notice him.
Their way led them out of Canaan and before them wide fields opened their lush green in the light of the stars like a soft fluffy carpet to the gaze of the beholder.
The newlyweds suddenly stopped in the middle of the path, changed their direction and climbed a small hill that opened up to them on their left.
Once there, Jesus asked Mary to close her eyes. He gently opened her dress with one hand and let it slide to the floor while he removed his robe with the other. Naked as God created her, she faced Jesus,
let it happen because her trust in him was limitless. She closed her eyes and he took her in his arms. Judas changed his position so that he could better follow the events. And then the unbelievable happened. Little by little, two mighty white wings materialized on the back of the Nazarene.
They gently floated away from the ground, higher and higher, to unite in the starry sky and father a child, Sara, whose birth was to take place far away, after a long odyssey in France. It would continue the bloodline of Jesus, the rose line. Here Michael ended his story and said goodbye to Robespierre. He returned to his hotel thoughtfully. Once there, he turned his attention to the e-mails that had arrived for him. Sara had reported to give the exact date of the start of the excavations in Pi-Ramses. Besides, she would have a surprise for him. Before he went to sleep, the impressions of his beloved's grave caught up with him.
He sat down at his laptop and wrote the following poem to process his emotions.
The poem
Oh you, my beloved woman,
oh you, my beloved flesh and blood,
perished in the embers,
I thought everything will be fine
but how am I supposed to survive the bright days without courage,
torment me like a woman's worst contractions,
where to go without you
to know you will never come home
to know I'm alone now
on this beautiful planet without you
the wind of fear is now blowing inside me
no day will be like it was back then
oh god my lord i'm alone
but in the greatest need
when I offered you my life
did you put an angel at my side,
he explained the world to me
that you please my god so well,
let the sadness slip out of my heart
and ride me to new shores
so that happiness manifests itself anew,
and the light triumphs in the end.
Now he felt liberated and relieved so that he could go to rest, hoping to find a good night's sleep. The next morning Sara stood in front of his door, that was really a successful surprise. He greeted her overjoyed and went to a hearty breakfast with her. Overjoyed, she told him about the news that had occurred since her departure. Your university had contacted American universities in contact, which opened up access to government authorities. This made it possible to contact the military research department of the Haarp project and exchange data about Pi-Ramses. The Haarp project is originally a secret military project in which several states are involved. One tried to influence the weather via microwaves, later these waves were supposed to disrupt the enemy's radio communication, if not completely prevent it. A side effect of this research opened up the possibility of illuminating the earth up to 80 meters deep and detecting irregularities. To create a kind of x-ray image of the interior of the earth's layers. The ideal medium to research the underground conditions of the excavation site of Pi-Ramses. If the evaluation of these images shows evidence of underground passages or caves, I will immediately go to Egypt to start the excavations there. Her eyes sprayed fireworks that Robespierre could not avoid. She pulled him more and more under her spell, his heart pounded when he became aware of his feelings for her. They went for a long walk in a nearby park and gave their thoughts the freedom they had not given them for a long time. They spin around what if their excavations were successful and they really found the transformer that opened up journeys to other worlds, even universes. Time passed too quickly so that Robespierre had to hurry to get you to the airport in time. In parting he kissed her passionately and a feeling of love and peace flooded his body. He gazed after your aircraft taking off for a long time and sadness seized him until the aircraft disappeared behind the clouds. He hurried back to his hotel to get ready for the meeting
changing clothes with Michael. When he arrived at the cafe, Michael greeted him
warmest. He said, “Robespierre, let's get to Judas Iscariot and Jesus' wonderful wedding night in a moment.
Jesus disappeared in the clouds with Mary. Judas waited and waited until Jesus, with Mary in his arms, broke through the cloud cover and floated gently to the earth. When his body hit the ground, his wings dematerialized as quickly as they had materialized. They put on their robes, and he could see Mary's face in the moonlight. Her happiness seemed to be perfect, she radiated a warmth and contentment that Judas had never seen in anyone. He
watched as they made their way towards the city, Judas followed them at a proper distance and excessive jealousy rose in him. Late in the night he arrived at the other disciples, who were all fast asleep, so that his arrival went unnoticed. Judas lay down on his bed, and the effect of the symbiosis with Michael unfolded its full effect. Flooded through him while he was half asleep
Visions from Michael's earlier reincarnation phases that frightened him but also confronted him with knowledge of other cultures, so that he succeeded from
solve the happenings in the field.
The fascination when Jesus floated off the ground gave way to the deep hatred that Michael Judas suplimented. In the morning he rushed to the temple of Canaan to have a conversation with the rabbi residing there, to put the flood of his feelings in order. During the conversation he gained respect and esteem because he answered every question
knew the rabbi's answer. The clergyman referred him to the chief rabbi in Jerusalem. After talking to him, his peace of mind would be restored. Under the pretext of visiting a sick uncle
Judas did not say goodbye to Jesus and the disciples without first informing himself about the travel plans of the group in order to be able to join them again later.
When he arrived in Jerusalem, he looked for a cheap hostel before heading to the Holy of Holies. Once there, he was immediately brought in front of the high priest who greeted him warmly. After initially unimportant things were discussed, the chief rabbi skillfully directed his questions to Jesus. What kind of person it was who could so fascinate the masses, what the content of his speeches was. Judas took Jesus under protection and raved about his charismatic charisma that he exuded during his speeches. When the question about the current whereabouts of the Nazarene was directed to him, he felt under pressure, which he believed that these men were up to no good for Jesus. He gave a dismissive response and the temple guard was called in. One of the guards stuck the handle of his spear in the back of his knees so that he fell on his knees in front of the high priest. “For the last time I will ask you where Jesus is and where
so that you can make your decision a little easier, I have something here for you, ”he threw a bag with thirty pieces of silver in front of his knees. In Judas a fight began between him and Michael which caused him agony because Michael's soul wanted to reveal the location to Jesus immediately while the soul of Judas placed itself protectively in front of him, whom he loved and admired Jesus like a brother. The fight lasted two minutes under the menacing eyes of the council members. Michael won so that Judas gave in and told the council where he wanted to reunite with Jesus and his disciples. Dazed, he left the temple when his conscience spoke up. His betrayal
Started tormenting him. He regretted what he had done and hurried back to the temple. He asked for mercy for Jesus, but this was refused, so that he threw the bag of silver pieces at the high priest's feet. The hastily summoned temple guard dragged
King Herod let him build him in front of the gates of the mighty temple to consolidate his power. At the moment of the highest torment a flood of energy penetrated him, which made his deed appear right and necessary in him, so that he continued the betrayal and hurried to the meeting point with the temple guard who followed him at a due distance, so that Jesus' arrest took its disastrous course took. The accusation and condemnation of Jesus followed. Judas heard the day of the execution and hurried to Golgotha unrecognized.
crucifixion
Michael ruled Judas so that he felt satisfied over the mountain
stepped up to witness the execution. Michael wanted to see Gabriel hanging
before him on the cross he should suffer and pay for the chaos wrought in heaven. Unlike everyone else present, Judas was allowed to watch the "spectacle". The normal person is only allowed to recognize gross material things, but, inspired by Michael, it was allowed to look at the tragedy in a subtle way. It took his breath away when he saw the crucified one. He saw one
executed angels hanging on the cross. An archangel! "Gabriel".
Its mighty wings stood out clearly against the dark sky. A bright glow surrounded them and made the scene appear in a ghostly light. He waited a long time on Golgotha. Late that night a raid party approached the hill. Led by Joseph of Aramathea, the uncle of Mary from Magdala, the wife of Jesus. Joseph gave the legionaries a bag of gold pieces. Thereupon they helped him to take the supposed corpse of Jesus from the cross. Two Romans laid the body on a wooden bunk, followed by Joseph of Aramathea they left the Hill of Horror. Unnoticed, Judas followed the troop who moved there through the dark alleys until he had reached the spacious estate of Aramathea. Judas climbed over the wall like a thief to watch what was going on. He looked through one of the windows that belonged to one of the living rooms inside. There was a gathering of scholars and doctors who had gathered around the body of Jesus. They all stepped back when the host entered the scene. In his right hand he held a precious chalice made of lapislatiuli, the chalice that Jesus and his disciples had given him for the Last Supper. He took it and approached the body that lay lifeless in front of him. The wound inflicted on the Nazarene on Golgotha by the Roman legionnaire with a lance broke open and Joseph used the goblet to catch the sap of life, which smelled of roses. He left the room and poured Christie's blood into a bottle which he carefully sealed. It was to remain closed for over two thousand years. But from now on he kept the chalice like the apple of his eye. It should go down in history as the Holy Grail. The doctors took care of the lifeless body of the crucified.
Hour after hour Judas waited in his hiding place until he first heard a rattle and then a strong cough. He peered into the interior of the room and saw the unbelievable that Jesus was alive. It couldn't be that his body was destroyed and was saved by God. Judas blamed himself for Jesus' martyrdom, even if he had survived this unimaginable torment. This guilt, unbearable, read only for him to put an end to his life himself. But before he could put his plan into action, events rolled over. At the moment that Judas left the property, four of his brothers gave him a mental picture. They made him solely responsible for the cruel end of the Nazarene. Judas reported his observations in the house to him. He would have seen with his own eyes that Jesus is alive. They didn't believe a word he said
and dragged him to the gates of the city. They were Simon, Andreas, Jakobus and Johannes. Simon and Andreas held him. Her hands went around Judas wrists like vices. James put the noose around his neck. That was
so his fate. Michael seemed to have left his body because his presence would have made it impossible for anyone to hold onto him. The body that Michael chose had as soon as it was taken over by him, the primordial forces of humanity which, for example, enable a mother to lift a boulder if her child is trapped under it. Judas longed for these powers at that moment of greatest fear. Johannes slowly pulled him up on the rope until his feet left the ground and his air was stolen. He suffocated painfully. He kicked in the air for a full fifteen minutes until death released him. His executioners left him there and returned to Jerusalem. Michael had not left him, he had withdrawn because this should not be Iscariot's end. After two days a hiker came by who seized his body and buried it in the ground. He buried him three feet deep, wrapped in a horse blanket, before moving on. Judas regained consciousness after thirteen days. He freed himself from the cloth that bound him after he had freed himself from the ground with his hands. Michael seized his consciousness and stirred the irrepressible thirst for blood in the traitor's veins. For humanity should pay with blood for the injustice done to it. Immediately after being released from his grave, he started hunting. His first victim was a rabbit that he killed with a thick branch. Greedily he bit his victim's neck and drank all his blood like others drink wine. After the first sip of the red juice, sharp fangs grew behind his canine teeth like a predator.
But after quenching their thirst, they disappeared as quickly as they appeared. As day approached and the first rays of sun touched his skin, he felt a discomfort that forced him to seek shelter. Immediately he discovered an old abandoned hut that offered him shelter during the day to hunt at night. His greed for blood was insatiable driven by the strength and hatred of Michael. But soon the animals were no longer enough for him. He began to expand his hunt to the people of the area. He became more and more courageous and moved his hunting grounds to Jerusalem.
