Children of Yahweh: The Sequel to My Beloved Friend, Judas

By Vincent L. Di Paolo

Children of Yahweh, the long awaited sequel to My Beloved Friend, Judas, will finally reach over a million readers who have been anxiously waiting for this second volume of the Judas Trilogy. When reading this novel, the reader will be virtually transported to 60 thousand years ago to meet Lord Yahweh in a primordial planet earth. You will follow Judas through the creation of Homo Sapiens Sapiens, the missing link, by the genetic mutation of Homo Neanderthalensis and their final extermination by a destructive deluge. Finally, you will follow Noah and several other men and their families who were spared to begin a new life on planet earth; their children and famous descendants fought their battles to survive the inner wickedness that is the base of modern man through the goodness and intelligence of Yahweh, genetically implanted into our DNA.

Figure 1 – Ådâmâh (Earth) 60,000 years ago—Würm Glacial Period and the Wisconsin Ice Age. Oceans were over 360 feet below today’s level. There was more land: Eastern Russia was connected with Alaska, Atlas Mountains were connected to Spain, the Mediterranean and Black Seas were fresh water lakes, New Guinea was attached to Australia, and Borneo and the Malaysian Islands were a peninsula attached to Southeast Asia. The North and South Poles were massive icecaps. (Drawing by Vincent L. Di Paolo, 2018)

CHAPTER 1

NIIHAU

(The Forbidden Island)

Friday, October 27, 2023

(7:00 a.m.)

Is this a good day to, maybe, explore that small Island in Hawaii? Judas asked Joel and Daniel.

You mean Niihau, Judas? answered Joel.

Yes, Niihau, sighed Judas, What chance is there that they might still be alive?

As good a chance as ours, answered Daniel. Only Honolulu was directly hit. If they had gone to view Niihau by boat, they might have docked there after hearing the explosion. Niihau is a private island; but, in a desperate situation a boat might be given permission to dock.

When can we leave then? asked Judas.

Now, if you wish, responded Joel.

First of all, we need to tell Catherine and Jeff, suggested Judas.

Everyone is so busy that they won’t miss you for a few hours, my beloved friend, Judas, whispered Joel.

Was his wife, Judith, still alive? Was his son, David, alive? Thought Judas. He prayed that both were alive and well. Joel and Daniel seemed so positive that he began to feel hopeful that they were still alive on Niihau.

Let us go to our big black bird. We could be there within the hour and be back by ten o’clock this morning, suggested Daniel.

The three friends walked towards the black Stealth, as it rested on the valley below Seneca Rocks. Most members of the Seneca Climbers were washing up or having a little breakfast. The green valley was decorated with a light morning mist, shrouding the bottom of the Stealth. The G-1 seemed to be floating on the morning mist.

Judas followed Joel into the modified cockpit as Daniel shut and secured the hatch. Without wasting time, the Stealth was raised from the ground and it began climbing up, behaving like a giant helicopter, until it reached two thousand feet. Joel had programmed the destination at 22° latitude and 160° west longitude. The black Stealth G-1 shut like a bullet towards the west, climbing to the very top of the earth’s stratosphere, breaking through the thermosphere into the beginning of space, traveling at the speed of seventeen thousand miles per hour.

Within minutes, the black Stealth re-entered earth’s atmosphere, dropping to ten miles above the Pacific Ocean. They could not see much as most of the earth was still covered by a sea of clouds; but, they relied on the four screens on the cockpit. As they reached Kauai, the Stealth slowed down, breaking through the sea of clouds, hovering over the island. Mount Waialeale had become an active volcano, spewing volcanic ash all over the island as lava flowed down its sides. There was no sign of life. The entire island was covered in gray volcanic ash. When they reached the Kaulakahi Channel, the three friends could clearly see Niihau, the Forbidden Island.

Owned by the Robinson family, descendents of Elizabeth Sinclair, Niihau was bought from King Kamehamea V for ten thousand dollars in 1864. That was a fortune paid by Elizabeth Sinclair for a seventy-three square miles island, Niihau. The residents of Niihau, about three hundred people hunted Polynesian boar, wild sheep, elands, and fished for food.

As the Stealth began to hover over Pueo Point, Judas had his eyes glued to the window, scanning for any survivors. As the Stealth G-1 hovered over Mount Paniau its fourth screen showed heat radiating from the thirteen hundred foot hill. Mount Paniau might explode any time.

We don’t have much time! exclaimed Joel, There is a lot of volcanic activity inside the mount. All of the major islands have become very active. The bombing of Honolulu must have triggered a chain reaction; and, Mount Paniau is next.

We’ll do a quick scan of the island. I’ll use the heat sensor to scan the surface of the island. It will show any human or animal that is alive. We’ll scan along the coast first. suggested Daniel.

The Stealth hovered along the coastline at only three hundred feet altitude, behaving just like an army helicopter. Daniel concentrated on the heat sensor screen as Joel piloted the big black bird. Judas looked through the window for any sign of life. There were dead cattle and sheep everywhere. They also saw some dead boars and elands, but no human bodies were to be seen anywhere. The black Stealth circled around the northernmost point of the island, skimming along the western shore, along Keawanui Bay in a southwestern direction. As they passed by Kaununui Point dead animals were scattered everywhere, but there was no sign of human life. Finally, the Stealth reached Puuwai, the main village where most of the inhabitants of Niihau would be found. There was no sign of life!

Judas cried, tears running down his cheeks. He whispered, No one is alive, not a single soul to be seen.

We’ll scan south of Puuwai; where there are two smaller villages! exclaimed Daniel.

Please, do not despair, Judas, Whispered Joel. We have not yet scanned the interior of the island, nor the southwestern shore.

Thank you, my friends. Whispered Judas, as a glint of hope sparkled on his eyes.

Seconds later, the black Stealth hovered over the grassy fields south of Puuwai. Along the cliffs of Puuwai, stood a large number of stone burials, possibly a few hundred of them.

There is a human body by one of the stone burials! exclaimed Daniel, The person is still alive: the heat sensor shows a pinkish red.

I will land beside the stone mounds, declared Joel.

Judas’ face glowed with hope as the black Stealth softly landed on the fields of Puuwai, which was decorated with fruit trees, overlooking the cliffs.

The engines had been turned off as Joel opened the hatch. The three friends climbed down and walked quickly towards the stone burials. Judas carried water bottles in his knapsack. He moved quickly, anxious to see if it was his son, David.

The three men reached the body, which lay on its front. He was a young man, with long hair and a beard. His body was extremely lean from poor or bad nutrition.

Oh, Sweet Lord! exclaimed Judas, How did You know that I would find my son in such faraway place, two thousand years ago? He touched his son’s pulse: it was weak but still beating. He took a bottle of water out of his knapsack, opened it and gently poured a few drops on his lips.

David’s mouth slightly opened as his tongue licked the water from his lips. Judas poured a little more water on his lips. Slowly his eyes opened, as Judas gently and lovingly uttered his name. Joel and Daniel helped David to sit up as Judas helped him with more water. Slowly, David began to regain his senses as he whispered dad. Judas hugged him as he prayed to Lord Ishia to help him regain his strength. He drank more water, nearly emptying the one-liter bottle. His dehydrated body came back to life as the water flowed to his body and into his brain.

The three helped him to stand up and helped him walk towards the cliffs. They sat him by a flat rock; Judas sat beside him holding his back. Joel took out a small bag of dried fruit and offered it to David. He took a few pieces and ate them slowly, as if chewing was very difficult for him. Slowly he ate the few pieces and drank the rest of the water.

Where is mom, son? asked Judas.

Dead! I buried her yesterday. She died in her sleep. Whispered David,

I was too tired to go back to town. I was too exhausted to move. This is the first food and water I have had in the past three days.

Who are buried under all of the other mounds? asked Judas.

All of the villagers. The first few died about two years ago. They were buried by their family members Whispered David, Slowly, others became sick and died. I helped to bury them. Animals began to die after the nuclear attack of Honolulu. Many volcanoes exploded after that. The most damaging for us was when Mount Waialeale exploded a few months ago…. The winds blew its poisonous ash into Niihau, poisoning all the plants, animals and people. Slowly, animals and people died…. I buried the last twenty-seven people by myself. The others were too weak to help me. Mom and I kept alive by drinking coconut milk and eating coconut meat…. In the past few weeks she laid on her bed, too weak to move. She died two nights ago in her sleep. I kept alive with coconuts and prayers. I prayed to Our Lord every morning and every night.

He heard your prayers, my son. It was Our Lord who told me to come to Niihau to find you! exclaimed Judas.

He appeared in your dreams, dad?

"My son, I’ve got so much to tell you. So much has happened in the past two years. Let me introduce you to my best friends, Daniel and Joel. After I tell you everything that has happened to me you will marvel at Daniel’s and Joel’s true identity. Now, we must leave this island for Mount Paniau might explode any day. But before we go let us pray at your mother’s grave.

Judas, David, Daniel and Joel prayed by Judith’s grave. Judas blessed the grave with some water in the name of Ishia of Nazerat. David looked at his father with awe, listening to the powerful words spoken by him. He looked at Daniel and Joel with wonderment and awe; and, he witnessed three auras radiating from the three men. Who really were they? What had his father become? How did they find him? He felt blessed. He felt stronger. He was sad to leave the island where he had spent the last two years and two months with gentle and kind people that had accepted him and his mother as family. He had worked with them; and, later buried them. He was thankful for being alive and to have been rescued by his father and two amazing strangers. He knew they were no ordinary people. His father had the same radiance as they did. His mouth opened in awe as he felt the presence of their power.

Suddenly, the auras gently faded away as the three came out of their meditative states. They looked at David and smiled.

We must leave, now! exclaimed Joel.

You will soon be seeing your sister, my son, whispered Judas.

Catherine! I can’t wait.

Let us go, my friends; this island is not stable. I can feel it! directed Daniel.

The four friends walked towards the black Stealth.

David looked at it, marveling at its beauty and shape. They boarded the beautiful black Stealth; David followed Daniel’s instruction and fastened his harness and wore an oxygen mask. He sat next to his dad, looking at him. It was not a dream; his dad had found him. He was alive! Suddenly, the Stealth went straight up and he could see the island, the village, and all the graves. He felt the Stealth turning as it pointed towards the northeast. It shot faster than a bullet, climbing through the atmosphere, breaking through the thermosphere, entering the very edge of space. He looked below, witnessing planet Earth from space. Amazement and awe clearly shone across his countenance.

CHAPTER 2

ATLAS MOUNTAINS

(Friday, November 10, 2023)

Exactly two weeks had passed since David had been reunited with his father and sister. David, Judas, and Catherine had held a memorial in honor of their mother and wife, where each one spoke of wonderful memories of Judith. Judas gave a lengthy, and at times amusing, narrative of when he had met his wife and the adventures he had experienced with her. He also spoke of the first few years after the birth of his children and the wonderful travels they had taken as a young family.

David learned from his father everything that had happened to the planet and to the surviving group of dynamic people called the Seneca Climbers. He listened to his sister as she recounted how they had survived through some of the people’s ingenuity. The most amazing and wonderful stories he had heard from Daniel and Joel were about Dr. Weinstein’s Time Machine, and about his father’s voyage back in time: how he had met and lived with Ishia of Nazerat, becoming His best friend, dying with Him, and being resurrected with Him. All of that was incredible; but, he believed it as he had witnessed the nail wounds that his father had suffered. He began to believe when he saw his father cure people that were dying. He believed when he got healthier by each and every day after his father’s embrace and prayer beside his mother’s grave. He had heard so many stories about his father’s power to heal and to perform extraordinary deeds: miracles. What totally overwhelmed him was learning the true identity of Daniel and Joel. They were the only messengers of Yahweh Himself left on planet Earth. They were angels! They had lived for thousands of years, witnessing so many wars and atrocities, surviving through Armageddon; and, now they guided his father through the worst of times that people had ever experienced. However, he felt lucky and was happy to be alive, close to his father and sister. He felt great when Daniel or Joel spoke to him for he saw and felt their magnificence.

David had also met Dr. Weinstein and his team of scientists who had showed him their invention, the Time Machine. It didn’t look like a machine or like the machines he remembered from films. It looked more like a futuristic throne made of the most beautiful alloy he had ever seen covered with a thick glass bubble. The alloy was galactis and the glass bubble was a blend of glass, fiberglass, and crystals explained Dr. Weinstein. He also had explained the amazing qualities of galactis and the indestructible glass conglomerate he had created together with his team. Dr. Weinstein also had told him that very soon his father would take a second voyage back in time to meet Yahweh Himself.

David could not stop thinking about what Dr. Weinstein had told him: that his father would take a second trip with the time machine. To meet Yahweh Himself! He had been so happy in the past two weeks, together with his dad and sister and all the wonderful new friends. Tomorrow, his father would leave for another trip into the unknown past. Would his dad survive that uncertain voyage into a time that had never been chronicled in the history of this planet? Would he be able to come back? Or would he die or be killed in a dangerous world that time had forgotten. He must speak to someone: his dad, Dr. Weinstein, Daniel, Joel, anyone?

David had woken up early that Friday morning; he had not slept much during the night. He kept having vivid dreams of his father traveling back in time to a prehistoric era, encountering brutal prehistoric men and animals. He had woken up, in each dream, just before his father was about to be killed. He decided to find Daniel and Joel and talk to them about his dreams and his fears.

Daniel and Joel spent some time talking to David, explaining the importance of his father’s second mission back in time. They told him that his father would be safe under the protection of the Almighty Yahweh. They reassured him that Dr. Weinstein’s Time Machine was the most advanced creation in the history of mankind: it had already proven itself as extremely reliable in its disintegrating and reintegrating properties. Daniel assured him, beyond any doubt, on the safety of Dr. Weinstein’s machine. Joel told him that his bad dreams were based on his fears of losing his father. His father would be safe under Almighty Yahweh’s protection.

David felt a lot better about his father going on his second voyage back into the very beginning of modern man. Together with Daniel and Joel, David walked back towards Seneca Rocks’ Visiting Center, which had become the Seneca Climbers Center.

Inside the center, Judas, Catherine and Sue Parrish were sharing a small breakfast: pancakes and coffee. David hugged his father and sister and sat between them. Daniel and Joel greeted everyone and sat down. Catherine and Sue served pancakes and coffee to everyone present. They talked about Judas’ second voyage and the significance of meeting the Almighty Yahweh and His entourage.

I have brought a map of Northern Africa, Daniel said. I want to go over the terrain of your next mission, Judas.

Northern Africa! exclaimed Judas. I thought we would be discussing the area south of the Black Sea.

Not on this voyage, my friend, Joel interjected. That will be on another voyage, Judas.

You will first meet with Lord Yahweh on the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, in southeast Morocco, near Algeria! exclaimed Daniel.

I always thought that it had begun in the Middle East, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Judas said. It is written in the Holy Bible!

The first five chapters of Genesis are bits and pieces of information that were written, mostly by Moses, that barely touch over thirty thousand years of modern man, Daniel delivered, spreading the map on the table. Lord Yahweh’s first visit on this planet occurred at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, by the Oued Daoura, a river that together with the Oued Saoura to the east were the two major sources of the beautiful Atlas River.

Atlas River?! Judas exclaimed. There is no such river on this map. I know of the Atlas Mountains; but, I’ve never heard of the Atlas River.

Underneath hundreds of feet of sand, the bed of the Atlas River still exists, rich with black fertile soil, Daniel explained. The two rivers met with the great river and formed a group of lakes west and south of the Plateau du Tademaït. There, the Atlas became a wide river, nearly one hundred miles wide. On the south four smaller rivers, originating from the Mountains du Mouydir, emptied into the Atlas as it traveled northeast, along what is now the Oued Mya. On the northeast four rivers, originating from the Saharan Atlas Mountains, joined the Atlas River, as it emptied into the Mediterranean, forming a large delta from Tunis to the west of Tripoli. The river contained a few islands, including a large island, which became the first metropolis on this planet.

Atlantis?! exclaimed Judas, shivering from the considerable information he had just heard.

Yes, Judas! replied Joel. Atlantis was real. It was a jewel of a city on the largest and most beautiful island on the Atlas River. It was the mother of two great civilizations, which emerged from its survivors.

From the great flood? asked David.

Yes, son, from the great flood, about eight thousand years ago, Daniel whispered. So, as you can imagine: millennia of lost information, lost underneath hundreds of feet of sand of the Sahara Desert. After the great flood, which had swept over five hundred feet of water from the Atlantic Ocean over what is now the Sahara, inundating that entire region, emptying into the Mediterranean and into what is now the Black Sea. It took nearly two thousand years for those waters to recede, permeating into the deep underground caves and passages, leaving behind a sea of salty sand, forming the new Sahara Desert. The Sahara is fairly new, geologically.

And Atlantis is underneath hundreds of feet of sand, whispered Judas.

Maybe even a thousand feet of sand! exclaimed Joel.

That is why no one has ever found the lost Atlantis, Catherine uttered. All those underwater explorations were useless!

Except Santorini, Judas continued. But it wasn’t Atlantis.

What an enlightening breakfast! exclaimed Sue.

To say the least, David added.

After breakfast, we will meet with Dr. Weinstein and his team. They will go over all the items you will be given for this mission, Daniel said. Tomorrow, we will fly to the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco. There, you will begin your new journey, sixty thousand one hundred thirty-five years ago. We will camp there and wait for your return in two weeks.

How much time will two weeks give me? asked Judas.

The mathematical formula of time travel is exponential to the distance of time to its vertex. In your first voyage, back to two thousand years ago, seven days turned into three years. With this voyage, two weeks will be more than a hundred years, whispered Joel.

Judas, David, Catherine, and Sue clearly demonstrated a blend of awe and shock.

CHAPTER 3

OUED DAOURA

Saturday, November 11, 2023

(7:30 a.m.)

How will I be able to survive more than a century? asked Judas.

You will, answered Daniel, Under Lord Yahweh’s protection and the protection of our brothers and sisters.

By your brothers and sisters, do you mean the Lord’s angels? asked David, as he rested against the smooth metal of the dark Stealth G-1.

You are correct, David! exclaimed Joel.

I’m still afraid, whispered Judas. That is a long time. I can’t even imagine it.

I know your fear, my friend, answered Joel. Daniel and I experienced that same fear when Ghabriel asked us to stay here on Earth. Do you remember, dear friend?

Yes, I remember, replied Judas, feeling reassured. How can I forget?

I want to come with you, dad! exclaimed David.

Both you and Catherine will accompany your dad to Morocco, suggested Dr. Weinstein.

We need you to be there, Jeff! exclaimed Judas, worried that something might go wrong with the Judas-1.

Nothing will go wrong with Jeff’s time machine, remarked Joel. He also instructed Daniel and me about every possible quality and attribute of his most wonderful invention. You have nothing to fear!

Joel is absolutely right, affirmed Dr. Weinstein. "I have never met anyone smarter than Daniel and Joel. It amazes me how quickly they learned every minute detail about the Judas-1. What took my team years to understand the very nature of my machine they absorbed it in one session. Let us not forget who they really are!"

You are so right, Jeff! responded Judas. I will never undermine the nature and the super intelligence of both Daniel and Joel. I thought that it would be nice for you to also be there.

It is I that forgets your nature, my wonderful friend. You want me to be there! exclaimed Dr. Jeff Weinstein. Unfortunately, only three can sit in the back of the Stealth. There is no space for a fourth person, not even a child. I feel very strongly that for this trip you will be together with both of your children. I’ll come along on the next trip.

Next trip!? exclaimed David, puzzled and worried.

It would be too long for anyone to witness Lord Yahweh’s presence on this planet with one single trip, explained Daniel. It will take at least three separate voyages back in time to fully understand what took place and the evolution of Lord Yahweh’s creation!

The evolution of Lord Yahweh’s creation! repeated David. That clarifies everything for me; and, it erases my doubts and strengthens my faith.

Eloquently spoken, my young friend! praised Joel. Evolution is a remarkable and inevitable process of the constant and timeless creation.

Wow! exclaimed Catherine. You would have made the best science teacher ever.

I hate to break up this enlightened discussion, uttered Dr. Weinstein. It is time to begin this most significant mission. It is almost eight o’clock; and I want everything to happen as planned!

You are so right, Jeff, said Judas. This mission will answer all the questions ever asked on the beginning of modern man.

Dear friend, interjected Dr. Weinstein, We are providing you with a new GISA suit, boots and knapsack. As you can see, the knapsack is bigger than the one we gave you on the last trip. It contains all the gadgets that you had on your first trip that will help you to survive, including a Nikon powerful binocular and two ray guns.

Ray guns! exclaimed Judas, What for?

You will be going back sixty thousand years, answered Dr. Weinstein. Do you forget who inhabited Northern Africa during that period?

Neanderthals!? exclaimed Judas.

Right on, continued Dr. Weinstein. Don’t forget what they ate!

What did they eat? asked Catherine in a slightly trembling voice.

Any animal they could kill, including other hominids, whispered Jeff.

They were cannibals?! exclaimed David.

I’m afraid so! answered Joel. That is why you need the ray guns, just in case that you might be attacked.

The smaller ray gun will stun and immobilize a two hundred pound man for thirty to forty minutes, depending on an individual resistance; continued Jeff Weinstein, "But it won’t kill him. The larger ray gun is extremely powerful and will definitely kill any person or animal up to two thousand pounds of weight. Both guns are powered by crystals and are recharged automatically by the sun. After using them, they will need two minutes exposure per shot, as long as these two solar cells are exposed to direct sunlight: that is the reason the cells are at the tip of their handle, always exposing them to sunlight if you wear them on this special holster. Also, as you can see, the holster holds a titanium Bowie knife. The blade of this knife is razor sharp and will cut a three-inch thick branch with one blow. It will also
