One Tempting Test

By Biji T. Kurien MSc MPhil PhD

In an impeccably indescribable and inexplicable place called heaven, Lucifer throws the gauntlet before God. He challenges God to pick someone for one temptation-filled test.
God needs someone like Job for this test.
The world is a mess. God takes a back seat in the lives of many. Violence begets violence. Blood is meeting blood. The yawning gap between the haves and have-nots irks only a few.
The concern for the destitute drives a scientist, Dr. Decxtrose Epitoppe, to develop a highly nutritious drink from cellulose-wastes in the middle of this chaos. As a result, socioeconomic and health disparities drop drastically in developing countries. Unfortunately, Decxtroses euphoria also plummets when the assistant pastor of their church unexpectedly discovers that Decxtroses mother is a prostitute.
The church revokes Mrs. Epitoppes membership, removes the senior pastor for advocating forgiveness, and promotes the assistant pastor to the helm for his bold expos.
Soon, the fatherless Decxtrose becomes a suspect in the eyes of his family and the church. They find it difficult to ignore the power of genetics.
In this tumbling maelstrm of a journey, Decxtrose tries to balance work, family, and God.

Life in the Heavens

CHAPTER 1

After the Transcendent Beginning

T he Word ⁶ struck the match of sheer love and ignited the fuse of matter, energy, time, and space. An explosive entertainment-blitzkrieg streaked across immeasurable light-year distances as a result and introduced an eternal showbiz for a heavenly audience.

Regional shows like starbursts, gravitational wave actions, star musicals, supernova productions, stellar formations, black hole shows and rotate-a-revolve dances by rotund supermodels rocked the heavenly realm with euphonious revelry.

However, the master entertainment for the heavenly hosts⁷ came from an astronomical intergalactic competition occurring in a dynamic regular-matter area of the universe. Four hundred billion galaxies revved up a colossal rivalry in a tiny part of the universe, an area with a diameter of a mere 100 billion light-years.

All 400 billion galaxies vied with one another to produce a stellar show, in a mystic mingling of atomic precision and panoramic splendor. They swirled majestically, as though dancing to the ethereal symphony rendered by a divine orchestra, and immersed the heavens in a magical kaleidoscope of inexplicable grandeur.

In the course of time, the top honors in the intergalactic competition began to go in favor of one hazy galaxy named Via Lactea. The heavenly hosts started bestowing special attention on Via Lactea Galaxy, cheering in particular for an ultraspecial performer of the galaxy.

With a cast of 800 billion stars and planets spread across a diameter of 588,000 trillion miles or 100,000 light-years, Via Lactea Galaxy did not disappoint. It effortlessly spiraled at a speed of 2 million kilometers per hour and put on a massive show of unrivaled artistry as well as wizardry.

Other star-studded galaxies competed hard to spin a Via Lactea-like show. Andromeda Galaxy, Via Lactea’s closest neighbor, was no exception.

Located just 2.5 million light-years away, Andromeda swirled 1 trillion stars across a diameter of 220,000 light-years at 400,000 kilometers per hour and set the heavens ablaze.

However, Via Lactea gained victory using a participant that the celestial audience swooned over, a trump card that none of the other galaxies possessed. In the colorful cornucopia of fierce intergalactic rivalry, Via Lactea stole the thunder with a rotund, blue spaceship from a tiny niche known as the solar system.

This unique spaceship, host to the concept of light-years and parsecs, won the intergalactic showmanship for Via Lactea in a romantic way. The spaceship spun a memorable dance, balancing life as well as water on its exterior, across an oval-shaped freeway and won accolades from the celebrated celestials.

Such explosive fairy tale magic happened every day in the heavens, time after time since the dawn of time.

Ever since the Word created time, ages before the Word became flesh.

CHAPTER 2

Impeccably Indescribable and Inexplicable

I n the relentless and unchangeable march of time, something special took place in the solar system on the morning of one March 10.

The diadem in the crown of the solar system, the blue spaceship, continued in its unquenchable quest to maintain its reputation as the star performer in the universe.

Millions of stars and planets, clad in starry light and colorful mantles, waited respectfully for the spaceship’s pass-by.

These gaseous and stony-faced spectators stood in silent anticipation on either side of the 500 million-mile-long and 300,000-mile-wide oval-shaped freeway.

Finally, the object of interest made its appearance right on schedule.

The 5.95 sextillion-metric-ton spaceship came hurtling along at 107,300 kilometers per hour, making as much noise as a flower opening in a beautiful blossom.

As though acknowledging the respect shown by the stellar bodies, the spaceship held its body tilted slightly to one side and put on an astounding performance. It twirled like a rotating top at 1,600 kilometers per hour in an uncanny manner, as it surged forward, balancing a variety of things on its exterior, including life.

The spaceship’s glamour stemmed from the fact that it had on board 7.53 billion very important passengers plus 8.7 million animal and plant species. Adding to its mystique, the ship carried an array of incredible baggage and even the mortal remains of more than 100 billion former VIPs.

By 10:00 a.m. central standard time on that tenth day of March, the spaceship had covered 1.073 million kilometers of its daily routine. Over 4 billion VIPs had finished their morning formalities, including ablutions and breakfast. The distinguished passengers planned to spend the rest of the day excelling in miscellaneous mundane matters. In sharp contrast, somnolence had taken hold of a majority of the remaining 3.5 billion VIPs, following entertainment and a decent dinner.

Cushioned all around by a thirty-kilometer layer of air and successfully thwarting incessant bombardment by ionic radiation, the spaceship flew superbly through the obstacle-free superhighway. Not even a cup of coffee on a food tray stirred as the rotund ship cruised without the slightest hint of air turbulence. The stunningly beautiful spaceship steadily built upon the 1.073 million kilometers it had logged in the last ten hours as it forged forward around the sun at 107,300 kilometers per hour.

Suddenly, an invisible foreign object (IFO) burst unobtrusively through the anti-radiation security blanket and rendezvoused discreetly with the spaceship.

Following a brief sojourn for twenty-four hours, the IFO bid an imperceptible goodbye to the spaceship and darted away at superluminal speed.

The IFO wove between stars and planets at a speed of 4,000 light-years per second, slicing a unique path through the Via Lactea Galaxy. Asteroids, planets, and stars whizzed past like trees skipping by during a high-speed train journey.

The invisible foreign object emerged out of the wildly picturesque Via Lactea Galaxy in just twenty-five seconds.

In about ten minutes, the IFO entered Andromeda Galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away from Via Lactea Galaxy.

The IFO moved through the Andromeda Galaxy in another fifty-five seconds, weaving between billions of dazzling stars.

Following a brief foray into two other galaxies, the IFO began a 300 billion light-year journey northward toward the apex of the universe.

Just after ten seconds, the IFO noiselessly decelerated from its speed of 37,600 trillion kilometers per second to a complete stop in seven seconds. It hovered in front of a colossal black hole show and watched the nascent black hole cannibalize everything in its path.

Something miraculous happened right before the black hole overran the IFO. The super galaxy, with a weight equivalent to several billion suns, retreated like a tame dog listening to its owner’s command.

The IFO eased back into its journey at an increased speed of 1 billion light-years per second after slightly altering the character of the black hole.

Three hundred seconds into the nonstop flight through dark energy and dark matter, the IFO approached a dazzling light.

The ethereal light originated from the new world in the north, a freely suspended square megastructure that stood out in a universe filled with circular bodies. The heat-less light shone brighter than the sun, lighting up the walls of the new world that extended to unfathomable distances.

The IFO decelerated drastically upon encountering the bright light.

Miraculous changes began to unfurl in a flurry of breathtaking sequence, transforming the invisible foreign object into a visible object.

The IFO first metamorphosed into a visible twelve-decker spaceship, ten miles in length and ten miles in width. The name SUPER COSMIC SHIP STEPHEN, emblazoned in dazzling gold across its transparent fuselage, came into view. Next, a brilliant halo enveloped the stylishly crafted ship. Finally, a multi-million strong escort of celestial beings popped visible around SCS Stephen.

SCS Stephen flew through the awesome light to the massive entrance at the top of the square new world.

However, SCS Stephen purposely overshot the enormous gate in a surprise maneuver, respecting an elaborate homecoming celebration going on inside.

The ship tilted its nose upwards, quickly climbed to the top and began a serpentine reconnoitering of the new world in the north.

SCS Stephen flew slowly from top to bottom in concentric circles around the square world, enabling the ship’s passengers to study it in detail.

The walls of the square world, constructed of transparent jasper, measured 1,500 miles in length on all four sides. The length of the wall on one side corresponded roughly to the distance between New York City and Norman, Oklahoma. The walls soared a similar distance in height and had a thickness of 218 feet. The Jasper Wall was at least eleven times thicker and over 350,000 times higher than the Great Wall of China.

The transparent Jasper Wall, enclosing the square world, had twelve foundations. Each foundation had a name and stood equidistant from one another. A specific precious stone adorned each foundation. The twelve foundations divided the 1,500-mile-high square world into twelve stories. Each story measured 125 miles in height, 1,500 miles in length and 1,500 miles in width. The height of each story translated roughly to the distance between Norman and Tulsa, in the state of Oklahoma, USA.

Each foundation or story had a ground space of 2.25 million square miles. The first seven foundations individually had multiple levels. Each level also possessed a ground space of 2.25 million square miles. Interestingly, a foundation bearing six levels boasted a total ground space of 15.75 million square miles. Foundations eight to twelve did not have any levels. Consequently, each of these foundations had a ground space of only 2.25 million square miles.

Billions upon billions of precious stones studded the entire 2.25 million square-mile base of each foundation and lent added luminescence to the indescribable brilliance of the new world in the north.

The sparkling precious stones, transparent Jasper Walls, twelve foundations and innards of the majestic new world enthralled the passengers on SCS Stephen.

Studying the different foundations from the perspective of an outsider, SCS Stephen reached the outskirts of the first foundation of the perfect new world.

SCS Stephen still did not display any intention to enter the new world.

Instead, the ship began a second reconnaissance of the new world in the north. The ship flew upwards, like a gigantic helicopter, at a pedestrian speed of fifty miles per minute.

Television screens, mounted on the seatback in front of every passenger on SCS STEPHEN, loosened themselves and began to float. The high-definition super smart television screens positioned themselves in the line of vision of each passenger inside SCS Stephen. Immediately, interesting details of the twelve foundations flashed across the television screens before the awestruck passengers.

When the narration about the fourth foundation ended, the high-definition television screens inside SCS Stephen ceased relaying further information about the perfect new world.

Instead, a cherubic face filled the frame of the screen.

"Welcome back, SCS Stephen, the angel announced. We have moved the homecoming celebration for new citizens of the new world to Pearly gate–11 temporarily, to celebrate the culmination of your sextillionth intergalactic sightseeing tour. We look forward to meeting you at Pearly gate–12!"

The announcement ceased following this brief statement.

The special floating television screens slid back into the seatback in front of each passenger on SCS Stephen.

The passengers turned their attention to the new world in the north looming outside the spacecraft.

Significant changes had already enveloped the new world, the place that also went by the name of heaven.

Heaven glowed brighter than its normal brilliance in the starry cosmos. Fireworks erupted along the 6,000-mile perimeter of heaven, highlighting and celebrating the imminent docking of SCS Stephen.

SCS Stephen flew upwards to Pearly gate–12 on the northeast corner of the northern Jasper Wall of the twelfth foundation. Amethyst quartz gemstones, sparkling in incomparable violet brilliance from the twelfth foundation, greeted the spaceship at the gate.

The ship crossed 218 feet through the gate and traveled ten miles into the twenty-five-mile wide Transparent Golden Highway One linked to the entrance on foundation twelve. SCS Stephen executed a perfect docking and parked at the gate with its rear end flush with the outer edge of the entrance to Pearly gate–12.

A door opened from the rear uppermost level of SCS Stephen. Immediately, a sophisticated gangway slid out from the door automatically and positioned itself firmly by the entrance.

Twelve angels walked solemnly across the red-carpeted entrance to welcome SCS Stephen back from its sextillionth intergalactic trip. Each angel bore the name of one of the twelve children of Jacob, alias Israel.

The twelve angels waited eagerly at the foot of the ladder to catch a glimpse of the leader of SCS Stephen.

The leader stepped out from the back end of the top deck of SCS Stephen. . . clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.⁸

As the leader walked across the Jasper Wall entrance, all of heaven noticed His nail-scarred hands and feet. The glory surrounding Him could not mask the wounds on the brow from a crown of thorns and a gaping hole in the chest. An awestruck array of earth-unhitched humans waited in line to step off from various decks of SCS Stephen and follow their leader into heaven.

Children murdered on old earth, most of whom had grown into adulthood in heaven, stood ready to exit first. Other adult former earthians eagerly waited to follow the hapless former child victims.

Kids massacred in Bethlehem by Herod Antipas, emerged first from the rear exit of the uppermost deck of SCS Stephen. The martyred toddlers were two or less than two years of age when Herod executed them in his failed attempt to murder child Jesus. They had arrived in heaven the moment Herod had snuffed the breath of life out of them. The kids had meanwhile grown into adulthood after the arrival of their parents in heaven.

Male babies drowned by Pharaoh in river Nile, expressly to stem the explosive growth of the Hebrews, exited next from the eleventh deck of SCS Stephen.

Child victims of wars, murders, accidents, fires, and diseases emerged from the tenth deck after the Nile babies.

The fourth group to disembark from SCS Stephen consisted of children killed in various acts of terrorism—the bombing at Alfred P. Murrah building, shooting in Newtown, 9/11 massacre, and gun violence. Martin Edwards, a victim of Boston marathon bombing, led this group from the ninth deck.

The final group of elite kids to emerge comprised of 5,000 victims of abortion. One hundred million abortion victims resided in heaven, out of which 5,000 had gone on the sextillionth trip of SCS Stephen.

Following the exodus of the former child victims, erstwhile adult earthians prepared to disembark from the seventh deck.

Sterling stalwarts like Moses, Israel, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Uriah, Naboth, Adam, Eve, Mary, Paul, Stephen, Abel, Moses, Ruth, Noah, John the Baptist, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nehemiah, Job, David, Samuel, Zechariah, the erstwhile twelve disciples, and others emerged next. The others included Pope John Paul, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Lazarus the beggar, Theyilamannil V. Kurien, members of the Theyilamannil family, Kunnel family members, Annamma Thomas, Sosamma Thomas, Paradyil T. Thomas, Thomas Matthew, John Samuel, Johney John, Annamma John, Rajan Abraham, Ruth Graham along with additional folks from around the world. These youthful-looking Jesus-followers dutifully followed their Savior across the grand north wall into heaven. Adam walked as the only former human being with one less rib compared to all humans and only male without a navel. Eve held the distinction of being the only female without a bellybutton.

Hundreds of millions of angels hovered near Pearly gate–12 inside heaven, on the twenty-five-mile-wide Transparent Golden Highway One, to welcome their Lord.

The heavenly beings went berserk as soon as they beheld the Prince of heaven.

Angels waved palm leaves and flowers, plucked from the Garden of Eden on foundation eleven to welcome Lord Jesus.

Former human martyrs, residing in the exclusive spacescraper mansions of the twelfth foundation, went crazy upon seeing their impeccable Master.

The remaining former humans, residing in the various foundations saw their Savior through billions of closed-circuit television sets. These former citizens of earth lifted their hands and rent heaven with a resounding shout of praise.

A majority of the one-time humans boarded stately, luxury spaceships and rode out to greet their Lord.

En masse, everyone welcomed back the star-creator Star of heaven, the holy spotless lamb of the everlasting God.

A thunderous applause arose when Lord Jesus Christ stepped inside the square world that went by the name heaven. An indescribable array of electronic fireworks lit up within heaven. Billions of angels, along with seraphs and cherubs, exhibited a majestic display of synchronized flying in the 125-mile by 1,500-mile area of the twelfth foundation aka the John foundation. The inscription John, the son of Zebedee, boiled in oil for his faith in Savior Jesus Christ etched in amethyst stones, sparkled in blue brilliance from vantage points on the foundation.

The enchanted angelic host chanted as they flew, "Praise be to the Word who became flesh and chose to live on lowly earth as a flawless human being! All glory to Him who squandered His perfect life to be the sacrificial lamb! All honor to our Lord Jesus Christ for suffering the worst torture and becoming the sinless sacrificial lamb for slaughter by mere earthians! For dying in the most gruesome and painfully lingering manner possible, in order to save earthians from eternal damnation! May His name live forever! May every earthian knee bow, sooner instead of later, before the author and finisher of everything! Praise be to Jehovah, Son Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit for creating the universe! Glory and honor to Jehovah, for spending thirty-three years in heaven without His only begotten Son after sending Him to assume the lowly form of man! He who turned His face away to allow His Son to be ruthlessly murdered in an ultraprotracted fashion by His creation! He who stretches out the heavens like a canopy and hangs the earth over nothing! May His name live forever! May the simple earthians understand an iota of God’s glory and power! Hail Jesus! Hail Jehovah! Hail Holy Spirit, now on deputation on earth! Alleluia! Alleluia! … Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.⁹ It is a heavenly day! Welcome back, Lord Jesus, the only Savior of the world—the only way and truth!"

Moses et al., who had traveled along with Lord Jesus Christ on the sextillionth trip of SCS Stephen, looked awestruck.

They witnessed the glory of their eternal abode and the rendering of the incomparable welcome sequence by the heavenly host yet another time. Everything else paled in comparison, even their most recent intergalactic tour led by their awesome Lord Jesus Christ. All twelve foundations of heaven were unlike any other place in the universe. Moses knew that the best human mind on old earth, equipped with the most superlative imagination, could in no way describe a miniscule portion of the beauty, wonder, and brilliance of heaven. Moses and group just pined to get back inside heaven.

Moses et al. stepped into the twenty-five-mile-wide and 1,500-mile-long Transparent Golden Highway One on the John foundation. The illustrious group immediately experienced the soothing effect of the most beautiful place in the universe. It was the crucial place to be for experiencing the ultimate in everything good.

Heaven had the most exquisite flowers, green meadows, lakes, hills, mountains, valleys, and above all the incomparable music of praise. Moses and other former earthians recognized fully well that all the gold of old earth would fit into possibly one mile of the Transparent Golden Highway One. They also discerned that all the gems and precious stones unearthed on old earth could decorate no more than a couple of square miles of John foundation. Besides old earth did not have transparent gold or jasper. The former earthians had a plethora of facts like this to sing the praises of heaven.

While the enraptured Moses and group mused on the greatness of their habitation, they witnessed the heavenly host continue their welcome celebration sequence. Angels, seraphs and cherubs sang exquisite songs. While making merry, they flew between the completed and the incomplete mansions that lay scattered around the celestial courts. The finished mansions had 30,840 floors, towering nearly as tall as the distance between New York City, New York and Atlantic City, New Jersey. The unfinished mansions ranged from twenty-five to one hundred miles in height.

Moses nudged Paul with his elbow and said, "It is no small wonder God breathed in you to write what prophet Isaiah had alluded to earlier. . . Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."¹⁰

Saint Paul acknowledged Moses’ compliment, To God be the glory, Moses! God’s faithful martyr then pointed a finger at his chest and said, This guy wrongly persecuted the followers of Lord Jesus Christ. This person deserved heaven the least. However, God’s love turned him into a new individual.

Paul stopped to muse for a moment before continuing, He stopped harassing and killing Christians and became a Christian. This Paul began to spend all his energy for the glory of Jesus Christ the Alpha and Omega. God revealed marvelous mysteries and even brought him to heaven briefly while alive. That is why he wrote that, Moses! Now, we have seen everything face to face, Moses! Let every breath praise our Lord! Ah, here comes Archangel Michael to escort our Lord to the celestial courts!

The former earthians stood openmouthed in astonishment. Michael brought the chariot of fire, hauled by a posse of horses of fire¹¹ and unicorns, to the pearly gate.

Michael got off the chariot and escorted Lord Jesus Christ into it. While the erstwhile sojourners of earth continued to watch in complete awe, the horses and unicorns gently turned the chariot around.

Straightaway, the animals took off, hauling the fiery chariot along Transparent Golden Highway One. The armies of heaven, clothed in fine, white and clean linen, followed their leader upon white horses on the highway made of solid gold. Moses and the rest of the group also followed the chariot of fire¹² on separate chariots.

The animals pulled the chariot of fire off the golden highway after a few minutes and climbed into the sky like an airplane. As the horses galloped in heaven’s space and performed an untethered space trot, the other chariots followed suit.

Millions of angels hovered all around the retinue of followers, singing the praises of their Lord, throwing flowers and waving palm leaves in ecstatic delight.

The grand procession returned to the Transparent Golden Highway One after traveling approximately 700 miles from Pearly gate–12.

After another fifty miles, the procession reached the celestial courts, the nerve center of paradise.

An amazing throne stood in the midst of the celestial courts and ¹³ … one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats were four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. . . And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him. . . and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever. The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

There stood a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothes with white robes, and palms in their hands;

No one could see Father God sitting high and exalted on the throne, owing to His unspeakable glory that filled the courts, entire heaven and even a huge area surrounding heaven.

. . . a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal proceeded out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month. . .¹⁴ The leaves of the tree fluttered in the heavenly air.

The Lamb’s Book of Life lay open before Jehovah, inscribed with the names of earthians who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Everybody in heaven knew that only those earthians with their names recorded in this Book, those that accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and God could enter heaven. The earthians only had to confess that Jesus Christ was Lord and accept the fact that He died for their sins to gain entrance into heaven. The angelic host celebrated whenever an earthian accepted Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior.

Grateful for the throng of earthians in heaven, the angels, cherubs, and seraphs continued their adoration of Father God and Son Christ Jesus in the celestial courts.

The stars surrounding heaven sang in dazzling joy, praising a Creator who knew them by name and competed in vain with the angelic choir.

All of God’s creation, selected to spend eternity with God, relished being in a praise-filled frame of mind.

Moses et al., namely the travelers on SCS Stephen’s sextillionth intergalactic trip, joined in the worship of Father God and Son Jesus Christ along with others in heaven.

The worshippers lay prostrate voluntarily on the golden floor near the everlasting throne of Father God.

Michael, accompanied by messenger angel Gabriel, led Lord Jesus Christ to the throne on the right hand side of the most sovereign, the I AM Jehovah.

All of heaven understood, as Jesus Christ took His seat, that the Father-Son-Holy Spirit combination formed the only ultimate power in the universe which is, and which was, and which is to come¹⁵ for everyone.

Lord Jesus Christ’s heaven, ensconced in the northern apex of the universe, exerted a magnetic influence in places as far as the earth. Even promotion originated from heaven, just as King David penned—promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south¹⁶, but from the north. Heaven served as the only place that offered free salvation, promotion, and navigational direction for earthians.

Lord Jesus Christ accepted the praises of heaven’s citizens and then initiated the roll call for the newly admitted citizens. God introduced each one of them personally to heaven and honored them individually for their achievement on earth. . . Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.¹⁷ Lord Jesus Christ had said while on earth, Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.¹⁸ Lord Jesus kept His Word and bestowed the ultimate honor on each faithful witness.

CHAPTER 3

Around the World of Heaven

F ollowing this astounding honor ceremony, Michael gathered Moses et al., the group that had returned from SCS Stephen’s sextillionth intergalactic tour.

Archangel Michael led the group into the super spaceship, HEAVEN’S ROYAL HERO APOSTLE PAUL, parked outside the celestial courts. Other angels normally transported citizens of heaven within different stories using various HRH spacecrafts. However, this time Michael took upon himself to chaperone the special group around heaven.

HRH Apostle Paul, piloted by Archangel Michael, took off effortlessly towards Pearly gate–12.

All twelve gates of heaven remained open at all times because God’s glory obliterated nighttime forever. Each gate had a width of twenty-five miles and a height equal to that of each foundation. Thus, each of the twelve entrances into heaven was 125 miles high, twenty-five miles wide and as thick as the Jasper Wall. Millions of spaceships ferried former earthians to various foundations and different parts of the universe through these gates. Each gate had the names of the twelve children of Israel imprinted on them. Twelve angels guarded each gate, and each angel bore the name of one of the twelve children of Israel.

HRH Apostle Paul covered the 750-mile distance to Pearly gate–12 rapidly. Michael stopped the spacecraft by the gate, hovering like a helicopter, to confer with the twelve angels standing within the gate.

Bye, Michael. Have a nice trip! the twelve angels finally bid a joyful adieu.

Michael acknowledged the farewell greetings of the twelve angels with a hearty salute and expertly steered the spaceplane upwards above heaven.

The vast expanse of the universe loomed before Michael and fellow passengers. Beneath them, heaven shone magnificently. All that glittered within heaven were gold, amethyst quartz gemstones, emerald, chalcedony, sapphire, jasper, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprasus, jacinth or pearl.

With the afterglow of heaven evident on all passengers, Michael handed over the reins of the spaceship to Stephen. Michael helped the first faithful martyr of Christianity to maneuver the ship to an important star.

Following the visit to the star, Michael took over and glided the spacecraft noiselessly back to heaven. Archangel Michael landed HRH Apostle Paul on the ramparts of heaven. Since the walls of heaven had a thickness of 218 feet, the ramparts had a thoroughfare with a width equivalent to a twenty-lane highway.

Michael taxied the spacecraft across the highway, known as the Circuitous Jasper Passage, on top of the transparent Jasper Wall. The residents of heaven opted to stroll along the Circuitous Jasper Passage or drive cars over the 6,000-mile distance to complete one lap around the city perimeter. Walkers and racing enthusiasts had the best view of intergalactic entertainment from the Circuitous Jasper Passage.

HRH Apostle Paul completed one circuit around heaven and then took off into the space above. The spaceplane turned downwards immediately and flew parallel to the transparent Jasper Wall for 875 miles, all the way to foundation five known as the Philip foundation. The archangel deftly turned the spaceship into Pearly gate–5 in the middle of the southern Jasper Wall of Philip foundation.

Michael brought HRH Apostle Paul down at the gate for a soft vertical landing.

Archangel Michael escorted the passengers out of the special vehicle and introduced them to the twelve angels standing guard at the gate.

The guardian angels familiarized the travelers with the intricacies of heaven. The visitors knew that heaven honored each foundation by naming it after one of the twelve disciples of Lord Jesus Christ. Moses et al. learnt a lot about heavenly investment from the angels. Humans needed to invest their wealth and health for the kingdom of God to live like monarchs in heaven.

Following the brief stopover at gate five, Moses and fellow passengers boarded HRH Apostle Paul to continue their journey.

The spaceplane entered Philip foundation or the fifth story immediately. All the travelers enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the foundation through the transparent fuselage of HRH Apostle Paul. Earth’s Antarctica, with an area of 5.4 million square miles, existed as new Antarctica on Philip foundation. Two levels and the floor of the foundation, with a shared area of 6.75 million square miles, encompassed new Antarctica. The second level contained an extra 1.35 million square miles of land. This included a no man’s land of around 620,000 square miles that did not belong to new Antarctica.

The extra land, free of ice and water, served as the Grandest Grand Prix runway for muscle car racing. Heaven’s racecar enthusiasts used vintage cars of earth or special heaven-brand cars to race almost 1.35 million square miles.

Visitors and inhabitants of this new continent thus had a whale of a time.

Even though ice and snow covered most of new Antarctica, Moses et al. could easily see the precious sardonyx stones that peppered the base of the foundation. The visitors also appreciated the statements, Philip foundation and Philip happily gave up his life to be crucified for Lord Jesus Christ who died for him engraved in sardonyx at prominent places on the foundation. The statements came through the ice in a manner analogous to the way in which emblems and names came through in old earth’s ice hockey skating rinks.

Even though it did not snow, the inherent snow in the foundation did not melt and mimicked the amounts present on old Antarctica.

The passengers loved the beautiful snow on the wonderful foundation. As they enjoyed the pristine beauty of the continent from the air, Michael released several skates from the base of HRH Apostle Paul. The archangel used the skates to land the vehicle on solid ice.

Michael treated Moses and group to a spacecraft skating extravaganza on the frozen continent, skillfully avoiding emperor penguins that roamed the area.

Moses et al. also saw former earthians enjoying winter sports like bobsleigh, ski jumping, alpine skiing, figure skating, and cross-country skiing. The visitors observed many earthians taking part in other events of the Winter Olympics such as snowboarding, luge, and speed skating.

After treating the travelers to a great skating extravaganza, Michael finally brought HRH Apostle Paul to a stop at the new Antarctic Research Station.

Philip and Mary, the joint presidents of the continent, disembarked from the spacecraft along with members of their cabinet. The new Antarctica government members included several martyrs of Lord Jesus Christ, who had willingly died for Him at the hands of merciless Jesus haters on earth. A bunch of administrators and lawmakers belonging to new Asia, new Europe, new Australia and new South/North America also got off HRH Apostle Paul, to enjoy a brief vacation on the icy continent.

The administrators and tourists lived in heated mansions ranging in height from 9,500 to 10,200 floors. Each official of Philip foundation and every visitor resided in a 200-room, 100,000 square-foot suite equipped with state of the art amenities. The tall mansions, standing attached to the transparent Jasper Wall, offered an unbelievable view of the universe.

After bidding a temporary goodbye to those who had deplaned, the remaining group members completed their excursion to the Philip foundation and boarded HRH Apostle Paul.

Michael navigated HRH Apostle Paul flawlessly out of Pearly gate–5. Skillfully, he flew the spacecraft 125 miles upwards and entered Pearly gate–6.

This gate, on the western part of the southern Jasper Wall of the sixth foundation, served as the entrance and exit point for Andrew foundation. Michael simply waved to the twelve angels at the gate and flew directly into the foundation embellished with sardius stones.

The passengers observed the name Andrew foundation, inscribed in sardius stones at various places, through the transparent fuselage of the spaceplane. They also saw the words Andrew suffered crucifixion for his God Jesus Christ, who suffered the cruelest death possible for redeeming humanity from their sins imprinted in sardius stones. Floating road signs and billboards also highlighted these statements prominently along golden highways and byways of the foundation.

Andrew foundation or the sixth story contained earth’s South America distributed across the foundation floor and three levels. It also boasted of the new Pan-American Highway, state highways and local roads constructed out of transparent gold.

Michael first flew across 2.25 million square miles of new South American territory on the floor of the foundation. Then, he navigated the vehicle out through Pearly gate–6 and entered the first level of Andrew foundation via the same gate.

Michael executed a superb water landing on the new Amazon River in new Peru on the first level of the foundation. HRH Apostle Paul then ventured on a fifteen-minute speed-dash on the river. Following the high-speed gala, Michael allowed the spaceplane to glide gently upon the waters.

HRH Apostle Paul floated majestically on the river without generating much ripples. Quite suddenly, seats popped out from the top. Jubilant passengers emerged out of an open hatch and proceeded to take their outdoor seats.

The archangel gradually increased the speed of the floating spaceship. The sightseers enjoyed the glorious open-air ride into the Brazilian part of the serpentine river, meandering through picturesque tropical forests of the Amazonian basin. The spacecraft slowed down occasionally to allow the passengers to have a closer view of the friendly anacondas, piranhas, and other aquatic life of new Brazil.

While HRH Apostle Paul navigated further downstream along the Amazonian waters of new Brazil, the seats retreated inside, taking the passengers along with it.

The hatch also closed simultaneously.

HRH Apostle Paul then dove into the river like a submarine, without taking in water to increase payload.

A bright light shone around the submerged vehicle, enabling the commuters to have a spectacular underwater view of fish and plant life.

Michael steered the amphibious vehicle to the river bottom. Once on the riverbed, he allowed the passengers to exit through a special chute, to frolic in the water without self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.

After a fun time under water, HRH Apostle Paul emerged out of the river and touched down at new Rio de Janeiro, new Brazil.

Andrew and John the Baptist stepped out of the spacecraft first. The two saints governed new South America as its secretary general and joint secretary general respectively. The presidents and other office bearers of New South American countries like new Argentina, new Peru, new Guatemala, and new Columbia followed the two saints out of HRH Apostle Paul.

The heads of state and cabinet members used special spaceships to reach their respective countries from new Rio de Janeiro.

The rulers of the various countries were the heroes of heaven, for having gone through horrific deaths or inhumane persecution on earth for the sake of their Lord Jesus Christ. In addition to the onerous responsibilities of heading these countries, these super heroes also reigned over specific planets and stars in the universe.

Christian stalwarts Dwight L Moody, John Wesley, and few others also got off the spacecraft along with leaders of the continent. They planned to spend some quality vacation time in new Rio de Janeiro, new Buenos Aires, and elsewhere in new South America.

Similar to other foundations, Andrew foundation lacked hospitals, corruption, pollution, unclean water, diseases, wars, deaths, cemeteries, pain, firearms, and weapons of mass destruction. Likewise, they also did not have traitors, spies, gossipers, slanderers, and purveyors of evil.

After a brief break at the fascinating new Rio de Janeiro, HRH Apostle Paul took off gracefully to visit the third level of Andrew foundation.

Old South America had an area of nearly 6.9 million square miles, while the entire Andrew foundation had a combined area of nine million square miles.

Airplane enthusiasts used the extra 2.1 million square miles of terra firma and the 31.25 miles of vertical space above ground on the third level as a recreational aerospace racing area. Visitors and foundation inhabitants flew ultrasophisticated fighter jets, space jets, and spacecrafts, often racing with one another and reveling in aerial acrobatics. Michael did not shirk from treating the remaining passengers to ultracomplicated acrobatics in the recreational area of the third level of Andrew foundation.

While Michael executed aerial stunts, the passengers joyfully ruminated about the prospect of flying into new Joint Base Andrews on the seventh story aka Bartholomew foundation.

Stephen, the first faithful martyr for Lord Jesus Christ, and Bartholomew, a disciple of Jesus Christ, worked as eternal joint secretary generals of the seventh foundation. Bartholomew foundation encompassed the entire continent of new North America, including a portion of Greenland and other regions of new Arctic Circle.

Following the break-neck racing maneuvers on Andrew foundation, Michael set out to visit Bartholomew foundation located directly above them. He guided the spaceship expertly out through Pearly gate–6 from the third level.

Instead of flying immediately into Bartholomew foundation, Michael decided to amuse fellow passengers with some acrobatics in outer space. The archangel performed several space stunts outside heaven with the spaceship, even venturing a triple somersault.

Following the culmination of exhilarating outer space exercises, Michael piloted HRH Apostle Paul upwards into Pearly gate–7 opening out from the southern portion of the western wall of Bartholomew foundation.

The proclamations Bartholomew, beaten and crucified for his God Jesus Christ and Bartholomew foundation, embossed in chrysolite, welcomed them from the seventh foundation. These glittering statements displayed electronically on floating road signs, also adorned golden interstate highways, state highways, and local roads. Millions and millions of additional sterling chrysolite stones lent beauty to the base of this foundation that encompassed new North America.

Old North America had twenty-three different countries, encompassing an area of nearly 9.5 million square miles. The foundation base and the four levels on Bartholomew foundation encompassed a shared area of 11.25 million square miles. The extra 1.75 million square miles served as the theme park area of heaven. Special roller coaster rides, train safaris, science museums, water parks, botanical gardens, flower shows, and a variety of special attractions filled this area.

However, Michael flew straight to heaven’s newest New York City and circled around new World Trade Center twin towers as well as the new replacement One World Trade Center tower. After circling overhead for fifteen minutes, HRH Apostle Paul lingered on top of tower one like a giant helicopter. Michael released four mechanical legs from beneath the craft and gently lowered it atop tower one.

Passengers alighted from HRH Apostle Paul through a unique escalator and entered the 110th floor of the skyscraper via a special opening. The travelers visited the various floors affected by the horrible tragedy of September 11, and many of the former earthians who perished in that terrorist inferno.

Upon completion of this sentimental stopover, the visitors boarded HRH Apostle Paul and prepared for the trip to new Oklahoma City.

At new Oklahoma City, the passengers visited new Alfred P. Murrah Federal building. The visitors met with former earthians, many of whom had perished during the terrible domestic terrorism at this building on old earth.

The archangel, then, treated his fellow passengers with a brief spin through new Canada. Michael juxtapositioned HRH Apostle Paul above the edge of the famous horseshoe shaped new Niagara waterfalls. In a dramatic move, the spacecraft floated like a helicopter a few feet above the misty, roaring waters of the cascading falls.

After allowing the passengers to enjoy the scintillating falls, Michael blasted the spaceplane over the new Rainbow Bridge towards newfangled Mexico country.

The group visited new Mount Popocatepetl and several tourist spots in newfangled Mexico country.

Following the visit to the new country of Mexico, Michael concluded the circuit on foundation seven and touched down at new Joint Base Andrews in new Washington DC.

Michael dropped off Bartholomew, Stephen, Moses, Timothy, former child victims, and the remaining office bearers of New North America for a brief stay in New Washington DC, USA. Stephen and Moses had explicit instructions from Michael to take the former child victims to new Disney World and the unearthly theme park area.

Michael then prepared HRH Apostle Paul and the remaining passengers for a visit to the eighth foundation of heaven.

The twelve foundations of heaven lacked seas and oceans. However, the one-time humans had the privilege of visiting oceans and seas on old earth at any time. Angels often whisked former earthians to see their relatives on earth using special invisible SCS spacecrafts.

The indiscernible visitors also toured various oceans and seas when visiting earth. With 97.5 percent of the earth’s water secluded as salt water, heaven’s citizens had plenty to explore beneath the tossing waves of oceans and seas. The invisibles used the opportunity to visit coral reefs, sea creatures, sunken ships, downed airplanes, schools of fishes, and plant life in the salty waters. The former humans often traversed 36,000 feet to the Marianna Trench or other areas without using bathyspheres and played unprotected with all sea animals. Thus, the tourists had a good time, which most of them could not afford to do while living on earth.

Even though the twelve foundations of heaven did not have high seas, there were other exciting exhibits on display throughout each foundation.

The eighth foundation, studded with costly beryl stones, was no exception. The 125-mile-high space in this foundation displayed a partial cross section of select stars, planets, and their satellites. Visitors studied different planetary bodies in detail to understand a miniscule portion of the greatness of their great God.

HRH Apostle Paul zoomed into James foundation or the eighth story through Pearly gate–8 in the middle part of the western wall of the foundation. Michael did not land the machine on this foundation. Instead, the spacecraft simply lingered around each exhibit, enabling the passengers to study every facet of the model planets and stars.

On an impulse, Michael flew HRH Apostle Paul through the gaseous model sun, resplendent with its solar flares, and then later into the molten core of the model earth. The extreme heat of the sun or the molten earth did not harm the spacecraft or the residents of James foundation.

In addition, visitors admired the statements James foundation and James stoned to death for his Lord Jesus Christ who died for him inscribed in beryl stones, glittering from the floor of the foundation.

The passengers, especially Paul and James, thoroughly enjoyed the trip to James foundation.

Paul, the faithful martyr of Jesus Christ, worked as the joint secretary general of James foundation along with James (the elder), the disciple of Jesus Christ. However, Paul and James chose not to disembark for work that day and instead continued to accompany Michael et al. They planned to request Michael to drop them off in new Kerala, new India for their well-deserved vacation.

Following the brief stint on the eighth foundation, Michael glided HRH Apostle Paul out of Pearly gate–8. The spaceplane soared 125 miles upwards like a rocket, but without rocket engines.

Soon, Pearly gate–9 loomed before them along the northern end of the western Jasper Wall of Matthias foundation. HRH Apostle Paul slowed down and entered foundation nine.

Foundation nine or the ninth story, sparkling with precious topaz stones, hosted the Abraham History Museum, Mary Museum of Tears and Sarah Food and Sports Extravaganza Base of heaven. It stood proudly above foundation eight and did not have any levels, just like James foundation. The proclamations Matthias foundation and faithful martyr Matthias happily suffered martyrdom for Lord Jesus Christ, emblazoned in topaz on foundation nine, reminded Michael et al. of the selfless sacrifice Matthias made for God.

Michael brought HRH Apostle Paul down for a smooth landing within the Abraham History Museum complex.

The visitors enthusiastically strode out of HRH Apostle Paul to explore the Abraham History Museum.

Ten individual spacescrapers, each twelve miles wide and 25,000 floors high, housed the Abraham History Museum. Exceptionally fast elevators provided access to all floors of the museum.

Visitors flocked to this museum to enjoy archived videos of the entire human race on earth, all recorded from the time of Adam and Eve. Chronicled immaculately by angels, this collection included high-fidelity, high-definition multi-dimensional video recordings of each incident mentioned in the Holy Bible.

The history museum had millions of ultrasmart movie theaters to play the historical videos. The videos included the creation of the universe, fall of Adam
