Elohim III: The Return (19 page)

"I have a plan for Titan when we arrive. Instruct the captains of our swiftest vessels to begin filling all of their water tanks before descending into the atmosphere. The rest may enter, cloak their ships, and then proceed directly toward Earth."

The flagship and New Jerusalem arrive at Titan and remain in orbit until Gabriel checks with the main Europa refueling station to insure that it is fully operational. At the same time, Abgal conducts a survey of Titan's volcanic activity and pinpoints the location of its largest active ice volcano. Beside the volcano is an area where the surface temperature is warmer than any other location on the giant moon. As expected, the area lies near the equator.

After completely filling their massive fuel tanks with Europan water, both of the giant craft and all of the ships with them descend into Titan's atmosphere and land beside a natural valley within view of the volcano. The valley is within a safe distance, should it suddenly become more geologically active. The center of the valley is a dry lake bed with exposed bedrock at its lowest point. All sides slope toward the center. Abgal and the commander of the flagship order the water in their fuel tanks to be emptied on the valley's inner slopes. The water freezes upon contact with the surface and soon begins to form two small glaciers. As the glaciers grow larger, sections of them begin to break away and roll down the slopes, into the edge of the dry lake bed.

Abgal orders his weapons control team to direct a broad-focused laser array at the glaciers, until they become liquid water, which flows into the lake bed below them, pools and quickly freezes again. This process is repeated by all the other vessels. Then he orders the use of a second type of weapon which is sprayed from an external nozzle and solidifies on contact into a black, rubber-like seal that doesn't mix with water. It is directed at the ice-filled lake bed, completely covering it over to prevent evaporation or contamination of the water-ice, which is now several feet thick at the bottom of the small lake.

The site is tagged with an inactive locator beacon which can be activated by a specific frequency from orbit. Each of these tags are magnetic, so they can be easily attached to anything metallic. Though less than the size of a small beetle, the locator is also coated with cloaking material, making it virtually invisible and impossible to see. All ships begin their ascent while cloaked and return to orbit for refueling from the Europa station. Soon they are all headed toward Saturn to perform a slingshot maneuver that will send them in the direction of Earth at the highest possible velocity.

The astronomers on Earth who have been monitoring Titan diligently since the fleet first arrived there continue to do so, thinking that all UFO activity must be centered there. They can only offer personal speculations in public interviews about what they have seen, and within a matter of a few weeks the entire series of events is regarded as yesterday's news, garnering little public attention. Baalthazar and his Anunna rebel comrades are not as quick to dismiss what has happened. To them it is the signal that they have been dreading for two millennia, knowing that their time of freedom on Earth is about to expire and that Immanuel and Elohim's Anunna will soon be coming for them.

At this time, Jupiter is in another quadrant of the solar system. While all vessels must be vigilant when proceeding through the asteroid belt known as the "Hammered Bracelet" which lies between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, the swiftest ships in the Anunna fleet prefer to maintain their velocity and
climb the hill
, as they call it, by maneuvering above or below it and thereby avoid it altogether. Otherwise they must reduce their speed and lose valuable time making the journey between Earth and the
outer planets
, the gas giants.

"What will you do when all of this has passed?" asks Immanuel.

Abgal's first in command is also the mother of his children. Unlike him, she is not Reptilian, so all of their children are Greys, and all are grown. "I prefer nothing more than to enjoy more time with my family, Master. Perhaps we will have another child or two one day," says Abgal. "I miss the young ones."

"Where do you wish to settle then?" asks Immanuel.

"I have become accustomed to life aboard ship," says Abgal. "But for the first time I have begun to dream of having my own craft... and the freedom to go where I please. I have heard much of the beauty on Earth, but it has become a place of death for my kind."

"Where do your children most like to be?"

"My oldest is stationed on Europa and loves it most, of all the places he has been. He dreams of designing an underwater craft to explore Europa's oceans and says that one day there will be settlements there beneath the ice. His siblings are all envious of his assignment, but few can remain on Europa."

"Would you join him in building the first of such settlements, when the day arrives?" asks Immanuel.

"Without hesitation, Master... his mother would wish it as well."

"Who would you have to be your king on Europa, Abgal?"

"We Igigi would have no need, Master. We do not fight among ourselves as the noble Anunnaki or Elohim's children on Earth. We have no ambition of power to rule over another or have any serve us. Of all things, we love gold and silver, but not for barter. It is for our children to use to purchase Dragon Fire so they may have children as well. Your fathers were men. Our fathers were dragons. Yet we are all kinsman in that which comes from the Tree of Life, for our mothers and fathers also ate of its fruit. The same seeds were sown in all by the Old Ones. In that way we are all kinsmen by blood. Dragon Fire is the gift of the Creator of All, so that we may have children of a thousand names. Is that not why we return to Earth? To make those who dwell there our kinsman as well?"

"Indeed it is, my friend," says Immanuel. "You are wiser than you know. Man was created with a heart that longs for abundant life and a soul that burns with hunger for knowledge and truth, yet we have kept secrets from him... mysteries yet to be revealed. I shall make them known to all, but first we have much to do. Then we shall speak again of Europa."

"Mars approaches," says Abgal, as he points toward the red planet ahead on his left. "Some of my kinsman met their fate there during the wars of the Anunna." Both Immanuel and Abgal fix their eyes on Mars as it slowly grows larger and eventually passes behind them. "All it needs is warmth and water to again be the paradise it once was," says Abgal.

Both look to each other as if sharing an unspoken idea, but neither speaks of it. Perhaps they will in the days to come, but it can wait until the subject of Europa comes up again. Immanuel decides to withdraw to his ready room and consider his strategy for the fleet's next rendezvous behind the moon.

The journey between Mars and Earth is uneventful. Immanuel has decided to perform another maneuver similar to the previous one that sent the large planetoid into Pluto, but this one will be somewhat more complicated, in that it needs to be performed while the ship remains cloaked, and instead of crashing the object into a planet, its trajectory and speed will need to be precisely calculated to place the object in orbit around Earth.

Immanuel and Abgal decide to capture a relatively small near-Earth object (
NEO
) about one hundred meters in diameter, or roughly twice the size of the object that created the
Tunguska event
in 1908. They decide to choose an asteroid primarily composed of iron and nickel, so that it can be attached to the ship electro-magnetically and will remain cloaked while attached. Abgal's engineers design an electromagnetic core for the inflatable, doughnut-shaped buffer, which is again employed above the nose-cone of the command module.

They maneuver the ship into place next to the asteroid and approach it slowly enough so that when it makes contact with the buffer, it magnetically attaches with only a slight vibration felt by the crew and passengers. The ship's navigation team calculates the precise velocity and angle of descent toward Earth that will allow the asteroid to assume a slightly elliptical orbit above Earth's atmosphere at a northern latitude of between forty-one and forty-two degrees. That will take it directly over the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Des Moines, Hartford, Providence, Istanbul, Barcelona, Rome, Shenyang (the largest city in Northeast China), Chongjin (the third largest city in North Korea), Hakodate in Japan, and the countries of Georgia and Uzbekistan.

A transmitter is attached to the asteroid containing a looped message that will be sent in one hundred of the
most widely spoken languages in the world
, with the addition of Hebrew and Yiddish. It will be broadcast using all of the
radio spectrum
bands that the Anunna have been receiving from Earth-based broadcasts since the 1940's. The looped recorded message simply reads,
"DISARM or PERISH!"

Immanuel instructs Gabriel to begin the message transmission when the asteroid is released from the ship by simply cutting the power of the electromagnet within the buffer. At the same time it becomes visible in the night skies, the activation signal will be sent to all of the tags that the Igigi have attached to Earth's nuclear weapons. Each locator tag will then begin broadcasting a signal that matches the frequency of the most commonly used
distress radio beacons
. The tags will not only provide the location of all of Earth's nuclear weapons to the Anunna, it will also announce the locations of every weapon to every nation on the planet, informing them of precisely what the message is intended to convey and for whom. Worldwide, international pressure for nuclear disarmament of all nations should begin immediately thereafter.

"Cut power to the electromagnet in the buffer!" commands Abgal.

"Power is now off, Commander," replies his first officer.

"Give me one quick burst from our primary retro-thruster." Small flames can be seen escaping from between the asteroid and the ship, as the asteroid begins moving ahead of the vessel. Now visible to all, the asteroid is free-falling ahead of them in orbit around Earth. Gabriel signals the transmitter attached to the asteroid to begin playing its recorded message.

A shuttlecraft is prepared that will carry Gabriel to the city of Jerusalem to retrieve his two seraphim. Elijah and Enoch will remain in the city. Then he will proceed to Rome, pick up Jesus ben Ananias, and return to New Jerusalem before its scheduled rendezvous with the fleet behind the moon. He enters Earth's atmosphere in the cloaked shuttlecraft and signals the locator tags attached to all nuclear weapons to activate, while making a single orbit around Planet Earth. Then he makes his descent to Jerusalem and soon spots Elijah and Enoch exactly where they are expected to be, near the
Western Wall
in the Old City of Jerusalem. While remaining cloaked, Gabriel descends to a vacant area of the large plaza in front of the wall.

It is early morning, so few visitors are present. Gabriel dons his personal cloak and exits the craft to meet briefly with the two elders. As he approaches them, the two seraphim sense their master's approach and begin to chatter, just before civil defense sirens start to wail, signaling everyone to immediately evacuate the area and take shelter. Cell phones belonging to the visitors and undercover security personnel stationed nearby begin to ring incessantly. The word is out... voices are heard yelling, "Aliens?" "Attacking from space?" "An alien threat?" "We're under an alien threat!" "Oh, God... OH, MY GOD!"

18. The First Resurrection

"And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished..."
--Revelation 10:1-7

Gabriel begins to speak to Enoch and Elijah as he approaches them. "Do not be afraid. It is I, Gabriel, come for the seraphim."

"We have been here long enough to no longer fear words, Holy Messenger," says Enoch. "These invisible ones have been a comfort, though we have yet to give them Dragon Fire. All men think us mad. Perhaps with your arrival they will think better and begin to listen."

"Some will, but others will suspect you are in league with the devil. Be strong," says Gabriel. "I will return for you soon."

As Gabriel departs, Elijah and Enoch begin to preach again, saying, "The kingdom of Elohim is at hand! Repent, for the salvation of Israel comes out of Zion! Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad, else you will be ashes under the soles of our feet!"

"Don't you two know what has happened?" asks one of the bystanders. "We have been invaded by an army of aliens who are threatening to destroy Earth and kill us all!"
