Mugan and the Angelic Wars

By Thomas Oen

Mugan, an unlikely Hero!!

These are perilous times in the beautiful realm of Heaven. His best friend has turned against God and he must make the terrible choice of either choosing his best friend, Lucifer, son of the morning or the Godhead, who he swore to love and protect. He must make this choice and either decision have dire consequences to his relationship between the brother and the Godhead who created him.

Mugan is someone we can identify with as he deals with the difficult decisions that we all deal with on a day to day basis. Like Mugan, we all must choose whether we will follow God or our own passions, friends or family.

Thomas Oen

Thomas Oen lives in a small town Ohio USA. He is happily married and has 4 kids. He currently works full time as Help Desk tech for a local Convenience Store Chain. His first book “What to do before you call Tech Support for Window’s PC” was written based on his experience in the computer field. His second book “Mugan and The Angelic Wars” was a book he wrote for his kids knowing their love superheroes and wanting them to see what a true superhero really is. His main passion is for Christ and wanting to write a story that would glorify God and provide people a great story to enjoy. He finds joy in the written word and hopes that others would take away many important truths about God and Bible, written in this fictional story. His love of writing started at a young age. He loved to read as child and grew up on books written by C.S Lewis and Judy Blume as well as the great stories of the Bible. His love for reading inspired him to write his own great stories, stories for young and old, to show the true reflection of Christ in the spirit of the books that he writes. His faith has to do a great deal with the creation of this book. He has poured my heart and soul into this book and prayed for wisdom to create a truly great book that would be enjoyed by all readers. His prayer is that everyone would take something from this book and truly learn more about this wonderful God that has created us all.

About the Author

Chapter 1: Creation of Man

In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIV

His heart ached. Everywhere he looked it was dark and empty.

"Father, can we do something about this? Jesus waved his arm through the darkness. What we have, you and I and the Holy Spirit, is so wonderful I want to share it."

His Father beamed at him with that familiar, tender look that never failed to warm his heart. Of course we can do something about it, Son. Why don’t you make something?

The Holy Spirit was grinning broadly. We’ve really needed this. What will you make?

He needed to think about that one. "It’s so dark. I want to brighten up things."

I completely understand, Son. Love wants something, someone to cherish. So go ahead, speak it into existence. After all, we are the Godhead. And you are the Word of God.

Jesus hesitated only a moment, then he spoke with authority for all of them. Let there be light!

Instantly, stars dotted the darkness that engulfed them.

He laughed. That was fun!

The ache in his heart subsided. He loved the stars. They twinkled so beautifully. Finally, there was something else to love.

He didn’t want to complain though. In general, things were good. As part of a triune being of love, there was constant affirmation, constant love and encouragement.

A smile lit up his Father’s face. Why don’t you make something else?

The mere suggestion sparked several ideas, but the most intriguing was a being they could interact with. After a moment’s reflection, Jesus spoke. Let there be angels, and archangels, who flit with giant wings where ever we bid them. Let them be the sons of light, because they reflect the light of God.

Instantly, the spirit beings appeared. They were beautiful, everything he wanted them to be: Strong and loyal, noble and kind. He chose names for every one of them. First, he called the archangels, who he’d endowed with the greatest strength.

You Lucifer, are son of the morning. You are Michael, you are Gabriel, and you are Mugan. There’s no last or lesser here. Mugan, you have a very special job.

Mugan smiled a big smile, which warmed his heart all over again.

Jesus smiled back at Mugan and continued. You are Cecitiel, Uriel, Raphael, Ananiel, Marmoniel...

Oh how Jesus loved creating things. He loved variety. He loved beauty. He loved the interaction. Of course Father and Holy Spirit were with him, and enabled him, so he kept making things.

From nothing, he spoke into being the Heavens. With his words, he formed tall opaque buildings and crystal clear streams of water that ran into golden canals and beautiful fountains. He created courtyards and beautiful gardens filled with red roses, yellow daisies, morning glories, small trees and plants large and small. He created streets of pure white gold bricks weighing several tons, streets that reflected the Godhead’s glorious light.  

Everything in Heaven sang its own song of worship to God. Lucifer led that song. Jesus made him chief of the archangels, to lead with great beauty and strength. God reveled in his praise.

God and all creation were enjoying green fields of tall grass, alcoves of trees and everything from the tall oaks to small buckeye trees and meadows. They delighted in mountains covered with blue spruce trees and snow.

Animals, small and great, filled fields and lakes and streams. Fish swam in the streams and lakes, while buffalo grazed in the green pastures. Birds flew through the sky, never tiring of their exploration of the heavens. Their joyful chirping heralded the start of every new day.

Peace enveloped all of creation. All creatures knew they were special and blessed. And they all basked in the love of their creator, until ... Jesus began work on a very special project involving a planet, Earth.

He’d been spending quite a bit of time on Earth. It was to be a beautiful place. He spoke into being great oceans, smaller bodies of water and land between them. He made a small young star to give it light and keep it warm, and an even smaller moon to give it
