“Oh there you are.” Madeline said as we returned from the restaurant. “We were wondering when you would make it back. You are just in time. We are going over the system we designed to get the dignitaries and you, Jack, from the hotel to the stage area or altar.”

“Stage,” I said, “not altar. I do not know how to build an altar or design one. Hasn’t been, done for thousands of years.”

“Oh Madeline,” said, “I see. Okay then, the stage. If all of you can come closer, we have it laid out here on the table on this street grid.”

We gathered around, and the Chief of Police, Michael Poploski started describing the intricate system that had been, designed. “What we have here are concrete barriers that are stacked one on top of the other, compliments of the Highway Department. It is about nine feet high. It travels from the hotels side entrance you see here,” as he pointed to the drawing, “and crosses Grand Avenue then Main Street. It then curves to the Memorial itself on to the north building adjacent to where the stage is. The top of the barrier is steel panels, the same ones used on road repairs. It would take a good size explosive to penetrate it. The total distance is about two and a half blocks.”

Wow, I thought. They did this in less than three days.

He continued, “At the beginning of the tunnel there will be a combination of Secret Service, FBI, and military personnel under the Colonel’s direction. The checkpoints are the same at the other end of the tunnel. In the middle of the tunnel you again will be stopped for identification before being allowed to continue, as well as at the beginning and the end.”

“At the termination of the Rally, the process will be reversed. This means Jack, you will be going first we assume, and then the dignitaries will follow.”

“Also,” he said pointing to the stage on the drawing, “This will be surrounded by military personnel, and plain clothes-federal types, which include the FBI and Secret Service. They will be there two hours before the seating, which starts at 6:00 p.m. and one hour afterwards. We also have bomb sniffing dogs that will check the area every ten minutes prior to you and the dignitaries coming to the stage and during the program.”

“Any questions?”

Veronica asked, “Where are the dignitaries sitting?”

He brought out a folder under the drawing. He had photographs of the south and north sides of the raised stage built into the Memorial. “The news media seats are here on the north side and the camera crews are located also along with John Roddenberg’s group and his anchor desk. You may have seen it on his broadcasts the past couple of days. Also, city personnel and others will be seated in this area, including you folks.”

“On the other side is seating for the President and several other dignitaries from all across the globe. Many are the same people who will be here for the meeting on Friday with The Waldger Group. There are one-hundred and forty-five seats there stacked up like sports field seating. Oh and by the way, both sides of the seating here are encased in clear bullet proof glass extending about four feet above the highest tier of the seating, or about thirty feet.”

“The choirs and entertainment will be seated in this corner over here, so they do not block the view of the people on stage and the park. The Philharmonic will be in the opposite corner.”

“Jack,” as he looked at me said, “The stage drops off to a forty-foot fall overlooking Union Station. So be careful there. I understand you said to do it this way so that the people in Union Station area and the people in the Park can see you unobstructed. Am I correct?”

“Yes, that is right chief, I will be careful.”

“Well any other questions?” Madeline asked.

“No,” Veronica said. “We have no more questions.

Well,” Madeline said, “Most of you I will see around 6:30 or so, on the stage.”

As were leaving the conference room, I motioned for Veronica to come over to me. When she approached, close enough to hear me I said, “Do you think my room is bugged?”

“No Jack, it’s not. We took them out before you checked in. They were there, but we removed them and your room was, checked again this morning while we were in the meeting. They checked it after the house cleaners cleaned up. Also, I have a private security guard outside your door, just in case someone decides to get clever.”

“Thanks. So you know I have Thomas stopping by to talk about the sermon. I need a professional opinion about something I read in God’s word.”

John came up to us about the same time and said, “I have a lot to do. We still have the evening news, and then the program itself will start at 6:00, an hour and a half before you start Jack. We need to be ready for that. I have a news briefing in about an hour or so, I need to attend. Lots, of news today. By the way Jack, are we still on for the interview after the sermon?”

“Yes, I will be ready for you, but no panels. I am not up to it.”

“Okay Jack, no problem. Oh by the way, I may have already told you, but the feed is being, translated into over one-hundred languages worldwide. We even have Middle Eastern networks broadcasting you live, which surprised me when the request came in. We have two sign language people, and of course subtitles. I do not know if you know it or not. For the time you are on TV tonight, not any one event nor one person has ever had this many people watching. I find that amazing.”

“So do I John. So do I.”

“Well, gotta go,” he said as he left.

Luke, Mark, and Thomas were still in the hall. Veronica and I walked over to them. I said to Mark, “Well you got to come anyway. That is great. I am glad you are here. In addition, Luke, you people are doing a great job out there for me, considering you have only had three and a half days. We have achieved our goals. I want to thank you so much.”

“After listening to you the past few days Jack, I have to tell you, me and my firm are proud to be a part of your ministry. We look forward to the continuation of our agreement. I have read a lot of prophecy, I have a lot of faith, and I believe you are who you say you are. So if you need anything at all, even if you’re broke, I will be there for you.”

I held out my hand and said, “Friends Luke.”

He shook it and said, “Friends. Listen, I have to go. I will catch you all later.”

“Later, Luke.”

I turned to Thomas and asked, “I know you have a lot on your plate and I’d asked earlier, but I wanted to know if you could come to my room in a bit and discuss something with me? I really need your help. We can order up lunch in the room.”

“Sure I can Jack, just say when.”

I looked at my watch and said, “Give me an hour. I am in Suite 2401.”

“I will be there.”

I said goodbye to everyone and got on the elevator to my room.

11:20 AM CST Day four of 1260 Kansas City, Missouri - The Waldger Group Suites

“Mr. Waldger?” as the door cracked and the security guard outside my door called my name.

“Yes, what can I help you with?”

“There are two priests here to see you. They say they have an appointment.”

I got up from the makeshift desk in my suite and walked over to the doorway as my aide ushered in the guests. I was pleased the two had made it on time. “Cardinal Richital, what a pleasure,” I said as I looked behind him, knowing very well who was with him. I said, “Bishop…very pleased to finally meet you in person, after all these years. Please come in.”

They entered the suite and I offered them a place to sit. “Bishop, we were worried that you might not make it in time for the Rally and our meeting tomorrow, which as you know is very important.”

“Thank you, Aafre. Do you mind if I call you by your first name?”

“No, no not at all, we are all friends here. Was the trip coming here okay? I knew of the flooding in the area you were in, I was concerned you might not make it.”

“No we left North Africa early Tuesday morning, making a stop In Rome to see the Pontiff then picking up the item we discussed. In addition, the Pontiff knew we were coming here. He wanted to see us first. He is not doing well and could not make the trip himself, but had asked us to keep him up to date. He will be watching on TV, I am sure. We left there right after the meeting at the Vatican. We boarded a commercial jet to New York, then a private one provided by you to here, which we are grateful for.”

“You are more than welcome. We have much to do in the next few days and so much to plan together. Moreover, you Cardinal, you look well. I hope like the Bishop, you have found things acceptable, yes?”

“Definitely Aafre, everything is going well and all things are in place, as we have discussed.”

“Well good. I knew that we could count on you. Now Bishop, you know that tonight we will get to see the Hebrew God’s Witness give a sermon. I am so curious to see what he says and hear your opinion.”

“I think he is a very dangerous man and needs to be carefully watched,” the Bishop replied. “If possible, he needs to be controlled before there is no world left for us. His agenda seems strange. Why kill all these people? It does not make sense to me. That is not the God I know and the God our church teaches.”

“I agree Bishop. I so much agree.”

“Would you mind Aafre,” the Bishop said, “if I use your facilities? It has been such a long trip and we have yet to go to our suites.”

“Oh yes, please do.”

As he left, Aafre looked at Cardinal Richital and said, “He is very imposing, isn’t he?’

“Yes Aafre. He will do as we want and he understands the power he is to receive to battle these witnesses. And like me, he is so much looking forward to tonight.”

“Yes Cardinal, we all are looking forward to tonight. And I assume the item he referred to is the item we had discussed?”

“Yes Aafre, he has the item and has the power to use it. We picked it up from the Vatican’s secure archives.”

“Good Cardinal, very, good. So now, we will see and hear the lies from Jack and maybe even some fireworks. One never knows, do they?” as he laughed aloud.

11:35 AM CST Day four of 1260 Kansas City, Missouri - City Center, Jack South’s Suite

I heard the knock at the door and I thought to myself, it is too early for Mark, but maybe he got confused. I opened the door and the security guard was there. He said, “Mr. South, this is FBI agent, Rankill, he has something for you. I checked his credentials and he is okay.”

Agent Rankill stepped up to the door. He had a package that looked like a tube about seven feet long. “What is this I asked?”

“It was delivered to the hotel awhile ago, addressed to you sir. We took delivery and ran it through one of our luggage screeners. We then had the dogs check it for explosives. It seems to be okay. I brought it up personally, because we are not using hotel staff on these floors for security reasons.”

“Thanks agent, uh?”

“Rankill sir, Agent Phillip Rankill at your service.”

“Well thanks Agent Rankill. Again, I do appreciate it,” as I took the package from him and closed the door.

I took the tube and it seemed a bit heavy and laid it on the bed. I opened one end and a note was, stuffed into it. I took the note as I sat on the edge of the bed and read it.

‘Dear Jack,

What I have sent you is something you will need in the coming, months, years, and tonight. It is quite old and very valuable. There are some rules though. Never leave it lying around when you are in public. Keep it with you always and in your right hand, unless you intend on raising it above your head. Always use both hands if you choose to do so. Do not let any other man have it, borrow it, or touch it. Only men of God can touch or use it, so make sure if you decide to let another do so, you are sure of their allegiance. I am sure you will figure out where it came from and what is was, used for in the past. However, this much I can tell you, it came from God.

In Christ, Gabriel.’

I stared at the box and then I knew what was in it. I was afraid to touch it. I just stared at the box. I sat there afraid to take it out. This was the staff of Moses, for only God would have had it. He had taken it from Moses when he was, allowed to see the Promised Land, but not enter it. How did it get here?

Then my mind clouded and for some reason the room changed. It was as if I could see two men in front of the Pharaoh, the staffs turning into snakes, and one devouring the other. Then I saw a man strike a rock and water flowed from it. I shook my head, cleared my eyes by blinking, and I looked at the box again. I picked it up, opened the other end, than tilted the container so the object would fall out on the bed.

It was, twisted like a serpent with carvings on it with ancient writing. The end was, tapered and the top had a ball on it of some sort. I picked it up with my right hand and I could feel the vibrations in the stick. I closed my eyes and my hand tightened its grip as I felt something like a mild electrical current that was flowing through my body. I stood there for a few moments feeling the sensation, opened my eyes, and gently laid the staff on the bed. Then I heard a knock at the door.
