Bullet Points

There was unsettlement in the Middle East. Iran had a nuclear weapon and was threatening to use the weapon against Israel. The United States was no longer in the United Nations, and the United Nations was now headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. The nations of the United Nations had not tried to quell the tensions of the threat; only the United States tried negotiating a peaceful resolve, but the nation of Iran deterred all talks. President Amanda Jones was the youngest president ever elected, and a huge burden had been placed on her shoulders. President Jones and her Joint Chiefs of Staff had placed defensive and offensive positions in the region to block any threats from Iran toward Israel. The military strength grew for the United States, and other nations feared any US retaliation. The US Military now had laser weapons in satellites that circled the globe that limited the use of military personnel. The satellites had protective shields from other laser earthbound threats. There had not been any wars in decades, and the Iranian threat had become a major problem for both Israel and the United States. However, Russia had ties to Iran, and the United States suspected that the Russians provided the means for developing a nuclear weapon that if used against Israel would start a holy war and Armageddon.

A young shepherd boy was looking for his lost sheep when he saw his sheep run inside a small opening along a steep mountainside. The opening was not large enough for the shepherd boy to enter, so he coaxed his lost sheep with a carrot for the sheep to come out of the small opening. Once the sheep existed the opening to eat the carrot, the shepherd boy secured the lost sheep with a rope tied to a nearby bush. The shepherd boy was curious as to how large the cavern was to this small opening and if other animals were trapped in there. He tried to squeeze into the small opening; however, even with his small frame, he could only fit his head inside. The shepherd boy could not see anything since the cavern was pitched black. He decided to head back to his flock with the secured sheep still tied to his rope.

All through the day the shepherd boy kept hearing an inner voice to search the hidden cavern again. He thought maybe there was a hidden treasure from a past king or hidden by bandits. The shepherd boy decided to tell his father about his discovery and that he needed help to enter the dark cave. After telling his father about his discovery, the father saw the plea in his son’s eyes, and he also heard an inner voice to help his son discover what was inside this hidden cavern. When his son showed him the small opening high atop a mountain, he scolded his son for wasting his time. Again, an inner voice made the father listen to his son’s pleas. The father brought a flashlight, thinking he could enter the cavern, but not even the father could squeeze his head inside the opening. Only his son’s head could fit into the opening, but it was too dark to see inside. After removing some loose rocks and debris, the boy could fit his arm and head into the opening. Using his father’s flashlight, the young shepherd boy shone the light around the walls of the hidden cavern. There was nothing unusual that the shepherd boy could see. He was hoping to find a hidden treasure buried for centuries so he and his family would be rich as a royal family. At the far side of the cavern, the young shepherd boy saw under several boulders something metallic reflecting his beam of light from his flashlight.

The boy yelled out to his father, I told you. There is a buried treasure, Father. We will be rich.

As the boy’s father pulled his son out of the small opening, he asked his son, What did you see, my son?

The boy covered by dust and debris all over his head and arm was gleaming and responded, "I saw a metal box. I am sure it has treasures and was buried centuries ago by a king or by thieves. Let us remove more
