Dedication

This book is dedicated to my Heavenly Father who has inspired this story through His gift of the Holy Spirit. The battle of good and evil wages onward and will continue until the end of time which is very near. But His power is in ‘the word’ and His love is endless and unconditional. We must prepare our children, families and friends for the inevitable Armageddon. We are His mighty warriors ordained to spread ‘the word’ and by His grace and His love, He gives us eternal life. This story is written for the purpose of helping our young people to search and find ‘I Am’ the one and only true God. To teach them about Yeshua (Jesus) and to receive His salvation that only He can give through the gift of His Holy grace. I pray that all those who read and enjoy this story, will help spread ‘the word’ while we wait for the return of ‘The Lamb,’ our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He promises, ‘I Am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Me!’

Cast of Characters

Roedee – a mouse still struggling with immaturity, who fights side by side with his brothers. He gives hope to the young man, lost in darkness and they become the best of friends. But that friendship is tested, when Roedee unknowingly betrays him.

Gargyies – fur mates of the Ghost Riders who are messengers and guardians of mankind casting blessings upon the righteous, and they’re objective is to shield and serve the threesome.

Dragon – a kind-hearted dragon with one large head and wings seventy feet across. His eyes, a deep ocean blue, represent peace and goodwill. He has sworn to watch over and be the protector of all that is good.

Jata – Queen of the Werecats - she is a teacher of justice who discovers ‘the word’ that she uses as a weapon to fight evil, but she is challenged in ways you can never imagine.

Zorah – the Prince of Darkness who once tried to control the innocents through a New World Order and the originator of the Shadow People. The end of days is near and he has little time left to complete his plan. Many turn to him and wear his mark, and they are lost forevermore.

Professor ReMax – his destiny and second chance at life, is a gift from Yahweh to help the Ghost Riders overcome evil. He assists the trio in paving the way for the return of ‘The Lamb.’

Thomas and Telesa Sheffield – Midnight’s favorite humanoids. Thomas regrets turning away his son whose actions start the beginning of the end of days which no one can stop. But he depends on ‘the word’ to save his eldest son Zack.

Rabbi Shapiro – a Messianic Jewish rabbi who befriends Zack and teaches him about ‘the word’ and Yeshua.

‘I Am’ – the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The one and only true God-Yahweh.

‘The Lamb’ – the Son of God who took away the sins of the world so that all whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life. As prophesized, His second coming will be at Armageddon, and all those who do not believe in Him and take the mark of the beast, will be cast into the Lake of Fire and be lost forever and ever, for the eternities of the eternities. Blessed be ‘The Lamb’-Yeshua.

Introduction

Midnight’s Ghost Riders

‘I Am’ the Word

B ut, what does it all mean? begs Thomas.

The professor explains, I have studied Christian theology, and there are several different interpretations among the various churches, about the end of days.

Do you mean the end of the world? asks Midnight.

Yes, that’s precisely what I mean. Zack listens closely as the professor continues. Roedee is correct, the dragon does represent Satan or Lucifer, which was his name while he was in heaven, and by now we all know that Zorah is this fallen angel. He, along with a third of the host of heaven, were forced out and earthbound. They are only spirits, but they have the power to possess living creatures, and that’s exactly what Zorah has done. He was the serpent in the Garden of Eden who tempted God’s first creations.

Zack has a question. You mean Zorah really isn’t a God?

No, no, my boy, assures the professor. But he thinks he is God and that he can be greater than the God who created him. He also knows he will not win in the end, but still he fights, thinking he can defeat the Holy Father of us all. But he will fail, as Jesus, the Savior of the world, will destroy him once and for all.

Thomas asks, So, who is the beast, professor?

Based on my studies, the beast represents the nations or kingdoms, and the woman represents the church. It will be the dragon who gives power to the beast, and the number of the beast is six-six-six. There will be a globalization, forming a one-world currency, a one-world government, and a one-world church, and those who defy to comply and obey the one-world system will be unable to buy or sell unless they take the mark of the beast on their right hand or foreheads.

So, says Telesa, are you saying we can’t buy food or pay our utility bills unless we have this mark?

Yes, that is the theory that’s out there based on the interpretation of Revelations. But worst of all, those who defy to bow down to the beast and the false prophet will be killed.

Well, who’s the false prophet? asks Thomas.

Listen, lad, the beast is the antichrist, and the false prophet represents the church and the nations, and each of them will be a man who represents the New World Order and together they will try and rule the world. But, not everyone will be deceived and yet some of the most elect will be misled and lose their eternal souls, if they take the mark of the beast.

But professor, inquires Midnight. We already stopped Zorah and his New World Order, don’t you remember? With the nod of his head the perceptive man says, Oh, yes indeed, but it wasn’t God’s will, and it wasn’t in His timing.

Thomas asks, What do you mean it wasn’t God’s will? Roedee speaks up and announces, Oh yeah, it was the ‘empathy juice’ from the gargyies. It took away the humanoids right to choose.

The professor smiles and says with a laugh, That’s right Roedee, and I must say you are very cleaver to have figured that out all on your own. The little mouse gleams with delight and says, Well, in the Lord’s prayer is does say that ‘thy will be done’ so why didn’t we do what God wanted us to do back then?

Midnight interjects and says, Because we didn’t know ‘the word’ or God’s plan and we took things into our own hands because we lacked knowledge. Roedee turns his head to the left and then right trying to figure it all out, and questions, But something good came out of our mission as we helped save mankind, and as a reward, God promised us a place in his kingdom. So, how do you explain that Midnight?

Ghost Kitty with a very serious look says, It’s not for us to know all things about Father God so quit worrying about it little buddy and just move on. We’re on the right track now and that’s all that matters.

Thomas however, is more frustrated than ever and says, This is getting way too complicated! So, who is this antichrist?

All eyes in the room fall upon fourteen-year-old Zack, and at that very moment, his eyes turn blood red, and he vanishes. Thomas jumps up and says, You mean, my son is the antichrist and it’s him who’s going to bring forth the end of the world?

Telesa goes to Thomas’ side as he collapses in the chair, and while she tries to console him, Zack returns with his eyes piercing blue again, full of peace and love. He says, I didn’t know. He just kept telling me I was picked because I was special. What do I do? How can I get out of this mess? I’m really afraid, please, please help me.

Thomas is beside himself, and as anger consumes him, he lunges toward Zack, who levitates him in the air, and warns him. Do not harm me, or Zorah will destroy you, and I don’t want to see that happen.

In a fit of rage, Thomas screams, I don’t care about Zorah, and I don’t care about you. Get out of my house, you horrible monster. You can’t be my son and do the things this book says will be done. Get out and never come back! Do you hear me, Judas? Get out!

The young boy fades away.

Chapter 1

The trio return to Giza near the great pyramids of Egypt where they seek the Creator and they hear Him speak. " Ghost Riders, time is near, and I need you to go to the land of Israel to the City of Jerusalem and wait for Me."

Roedee, being most inquisitive, asks the most-high. Can you teach us about your Son, Jesus of Nazareth? If He is the Messiah that the Jewish people were waiting for, then why did they reject Him? How can they be Your chosen people when they crucified Your only begotten Son?

Shush! orders Midnight. That’s not any of our business. But the Creator chooses to answer.

My Son was born of a virgin, named Mary, destined to come to this earth to be the Savior of the world. He was prophesized in many books from the old testament. When He reached the age of thirty, He was baptized by John the Baptist; then the Holy Spirit fell upon Him. His mission was to preach the gospel to all the world. He chose twelve apostles to follow Him and learn His teachings, so that they could reveal the truth and understand the meaning of His endless love. They needed only to believe that the Son of Man was the Son of God, and they would receive the gift of everlasting life. He was King of the Jews and a direct descendant of King David. He was crucified and shed His blood for the sins of mankind. He became ‘the lamb’ so that I may give those who believe in Him, everlasting life. It is those whose names are written in the Book of Life. My beloved Son was crucified on the day of Passover and then came the Sabbath, the day of rest. On the third day, I resurrected His deceased mortal body to an angelic and eternal body of flesh and bone. After being raised from the dead, He went forth so the people could see Him as proof of ‘the word.’ They watched as He ascended into heaven to live with Me in My eternal kingdom forever and ever.

Is He there with you now? The youngest Ghost Rider asks.

Yes, and He is waiting for His return. Once the seven seals are broken, the seven bowls are emptied and the seven trumpets are blown, He shall return for all those who are His.

Wow, what are all those things and when will they happen? Roedee probes.

Suddenly, peals of thunder erupt and the sky darkens. The threesome fears the authority of the most righteous. Then ‘I Am’ converses with them again. "It is not for you to know. Only I, know the time when these things will pass. My Son will come like a thief in the night, and not even He knows, the day or the hour. Now go and do as I command." Then the skies grow silent.

Shaken, the trio depart and travel to Jerusalem, the holiest city in the world. The biblical Zion with thirty centuries of warfare and strife. The land of plenty in the midst of a hot and arid desert. The great city of David and the site of Solomon’s temple. The eternal capital of the Israelite nation. The most sacred place on earth for Christianity, Judaism and Islamic faiths.

They find themselves on the Temple Mount in the old city of Jerusalem. They see the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic shrine next to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site of Islam. The Temple Mount is known as the foundation stone. It has great significance for Jews and Muslims alike. The Israelites believe this was the site of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac on Mount Moriah, where God spared Isaac because of Abraham’s faith. It sits on the same spot as Solomon’s temple that was destroyed by the Babylonians. Their second temple was built in its place, several hundred years later, and was destroyed by the Romans. The Temple Mount is the most precious and expensive piece of real estate in the entire world. For over 2000 years, many wars have been fought over these 35 acres of sacred ground. Battles still loom over this piece of land, as to who has the right to take possession of the Temple Mount.

Roedee marvels at all the beauty and splendor and he wants to know more about this sacred place. So, he says, Man, I wish the professor was here to explain all this to me. Then with his wishful thinking the professor appears, startled and amazed at the magnificence of the holiest of cities.

Well, hello lads and thank you for bringing me here. I’ve always wanted to visit Israel.

It was me who wished you here professor, gloats Roedee. I have many questions. Please tell us everything you know about this place. Ghost Kitty and Midnight are also very anxious to learn.

Oh, my goodness, there is so much to experience and see here in the Holy Land. Say, why don’t we take a tour and visit all these wondrous places, and then we can discuss them. Agreed? The vote is unanimous and the trio hide themselves near the professor as they walk through the old city of Jerusalem. Following the guides, they listen to its history and after a full day of sightseeing, they are exhausted. Especially the professor, so they find a place to rest.

Okay! shouts Roedee. Now what more can you tell us about this place professor?
