CHAPTER 25
KEEPING TO THE SHADOWS, Wilson and Jasper slipped past the enemy as they fought their friends. When they were near the mouth of the cave they found West. He had caught up with his horned antagonist who was Hell bent on wearing West down. Wengroangrinch stripped away his cloak and lifted his long-handled spear he bore as if offering it for inspection. A wicked smile crossed the bearer’s feral face as he swung his weapon before him in an idle gesture to beckon the Angel to make the first move.
Jasper and Wilson were just about to come out from hiding to aid West’s efforts when Satan dropped down in front of them. The dragon-like Devil was facing away from Wilson and Jasper so he didn’t see them.
Wilson signalled Jasper to keep quiet. All Satan had to do was turn around and he would see them and attack. Demons began to gather among high rock formations. They pointed at Wilson and Jasper saying, “Behind you! Behind you lookout master!”
Jasper found a small ditch that appeared to be tight but deep enough for them to travel through undetected. It ran beside them and Jasper pointed to it suggesting they take that route.
Turning around quickly, Satan found no one behind him. “Oh, get out of here you pesky flies.” Satan told the Demons. He then turned back to the windy tunnel opening.
“In the ditch! They hide from you!” Shouted another stout Demon.
“Bah!” Satan tried to ignore his Demons with a wave of his hand. Then it occurred to him, ‘Perhaps someone was sneaking up on me…’ Turning back a second time, Satan looked into the ditch.
By this time, Wilson and Jasper had followed the ditch around and ahead of the Dark Lord.
West had emerged from the cave when Wilson signalled him. Diving down to Wilson and Jasper, the werewolf face of Satan followed West over. The three of them had been spotted by many Demons.
The trench ended into a tight little cave. Wilson and West ducked in and crawled as far as they could. Jasper followed, but the cave ended at a short distance.
Satan thrusted his werewolf head in after them. His reptilian body was too large to follow but his long neck seemed adequate enough to reach them. The yellow eyes of the Devil shone on Jasper. When he recognized Jasper, Satan observed with a snort, “Awwe, Jasper. At long last you will be mine!” Snapping his jaws forward, Satan bit down on Jasper’s foot.
“Ah! He’s got me!” Jasper shouted as he reached out to Wilson and West to protect him.
Satan withdrew and pulled Jasper out with his teeth. Unsheathed his sword of truth, Jasper began poking Satan’s yellow eyes. The sharp tip of his sword gouged and caused a lot of damage.
Satan reared up, spitting out Jasper and shouting, “Aurgh! I’m blind!!!”
“We cannot let Satan have Jasper!” West shouted. “What can we do?”
“He wanted you to create a distraction.” Wilson told him with striking blue eyes of certainty.
West bolted from the cave saying, “That is something I can do!” As West made his way through the recesses of Hell, he emitted strong turrets of wind. Dust, rocks and Demons were lifted and tossed about.
Electrical energy sparked from Satan’s claws as Jasper climbed up the long spines of his back, “Who – who’s there?!” Satan called as he tried to reach back to grab his assailant.
“It is I, great Satan. One of your loyal Demons. My name is, er… um… Nick-Nack.” He hissed with his best Demon impression.
“Well, Nick-Nack, you will have to see for me! I am blind! Tell me where I’ll find one of those accursed Angels and I’ll be rid of it once and for all.”
“There’s one.” Jasper said, “A little to your left.” The Devil turned slightly, “There, right there! You have one right in front of you!”
A tumbling ball of fire appeared between Satan’s hands before he launched it away. Wengroangrinch was on his way to aid his master as soon as he noticed he’d been rendered blind, when one of his powerful fireballs struck him and turned him into a pillar of granite.
The striking sound of the explosive sound rattled Jasper’s teeth. “You got him!” he cried.
The devil was pleased, “Quickly now! Help me target another one!”
Wilson saw what had occurred and flew to his Angels in turn to instruct them to lure each of the Insufferable Six toward Satan.
Upon the stone ledges, just above the smelting pool of magma, Roger shot water from his sword at Gewgaw. This effort failed because the temperature was so hot the water evaporated before it reached Gewgaw. Retaliating with streams of slime that shot from the palms of his hands, Gewgaw also experienced the same difficulty. When the shadow people cleared the deep pit, Jasper found he could look down into it from above.
“To the right, boss! To the right! Now down… A little more…” Jasper whispered into Satan’s ear. “Hold, just there. Now fire!”
Gewgaw turned his head in disbelief just as the demonic fireball hit him like a cannonball. Morbidant fought Elana when she noticed Gewgaw turn into a pillar of stone. The detonation was so jarring, the walls of the chasm almost split apart. The two women warriors paused in the interruption. Morbidant had fought in conflicts all across the galaxy in the span of her life and against odds so great that many others wouldn’t have stood a chance. She had survived battles that had tested her skill and resolve in every conceivable way, but now one of her own elite group had fallen before her eyes.
Flying down to Satan, Morbidant shouted, “My Lord, you are targeting the Insufferable Six!”
“What?!” he asked.
“Don’t listen to her, boss.” Jasper told Satan. “She is one of them in disguise. An Angel and she tries to deceive you.”
“No-no, that’s not true!” Morbidant shouted with fear, but Satan smiled and blasted her immediately with another fireball and she too became a twisted form of stone stretching out of the ground.
“Very good, boss. That’s three now! You can’t be too careful. They know you’re blind so they try to trick you.”
“Thank you, Nick-Nack. You will be rewarded for this.” Satan commended the little helper on his shoulder.
Now, with only three of the Insufferable left, they regrouped and flew together just under the stalactites of the spacious chasm. They searched, with telescopic vision, for the last of them. The Demons ambled along in front of them. Some would fight but most of them didn’t want to be noticed. Fighting off many Demons, none of the Imps were able to slow the Angels down.
Vyxcious was the easiest to find for his incredible size. He was a warrior in his mid-evil prime and he was driven by his messianic hatred for the disdain of the Angels. Holding no fear for himself; no doubt he would win, he continued forward. The Angels slashed at him with their swords which antagonized him enough he chased the Angels through West’s windstorm to Satan where he met with a fireball to the face. The deep chamber shook in response to the potent explosion. He then became a huge stone monument of Hell.
Diolucious and Krustatious tried to assist one another to make their way through the storm. They found themselves lost in a maze of stonework, before stumbling in front of Satan. The storm was lit with a couple of flashes of light as Satan’s fireballs found the last two targeted enemies.
“You did it! You got them all!” Jasper cheered.
Satan cheered too. Then the Devil asked, “How did I get them all? Was there not seven Angels?”
“Angels?! No-no, Satan. You didn’t hit any Angels.” Jasper told him as he leaped from the Dark Lord’s back.
Then Satan recognized the voice, “Jasper!!!” Satan shouted with sudden realization. Still blinded, the Devil began shooting fireballs out in random directions.
West came soaring down from above and as he swooped in to take Jasper away with him, he shot a whirlwind at Satan, “That’s for your contentious evil.” Then West shot a second thrust of wind at the ceiling, breaking loose a half dozen stalactites. “And this is for what you did to me!” The sharp arrow heads of minerals crashed down upon Satan.
Rot with an insatiable anger, rage b
uilt within him to festering hot temperatures. Pressing forward, Satan’s brow furrowed darkly. From the growing power of his rage, the Devil drew himself up to a great height. He broke free of the broken stalactites and drew his mighty sword as it blazed with red fire. The mystic flame was like the arms of the damned, waving and reaching to be saved. Opening his great leathery wings, letting smoke billow out, Satan listened, trying to pinpoint where his intruders might be.
Jesus pointed to the sword and a white beam of light came forth from his finger. The moment the light of Jesus touched the sword, it decimated into little molten fragments of red kindled flames. His hand; crippled and injured when his sword exploded. Satan continued to roar in frustration. He couldn’t locate his assailants and he knew he had been beaten.
Jesus beckoned to the Angels. West delivered Jasper to Jesus among the other Angels. With his robe still very bright, Jesus looked down at Satan. Lifting his hand, he winked an eye and snapped his fingers. There was a quick sharp cracking sound from the rock under Satan’s feet when suddenly, the floor opened up under the Devil and the Dark Lord fell. Plummeting all the way to the festering lake of fire and eternal damnation.
The Angels bowed down to Jesus. Then Jasper said, “Lord You are the mightiest of all.” He joined his Angel friends and bowed down among them upon the course surface of the rock. Around them, the Demons bowed down to Jesus, then the souls of the dammed bowed down despite their unending pain.
This was the day of the Lord’s reprisal; when Jesus and the Seven stormed the abys of Hell and rescued West. This act of retribution and control against Satan was for the great injuries West received. Satan’s humility before the Lord was necessary to remind everyone who was the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; for the good Shepard always searches to reclaim the ones who go astray.
The Christ used His power to carry away the Angels and Jasper the same way they arrived. While He did so, Jesus spoke to Jasper, “I have let you see Angels, and given you insight to dreams and visions. I love to give My children the good gifts they ask for.” Jesus knew Jasper felt he was at the end of his journey, but it was soon clear, the journey had no end. In closing, Jesus said, “Don’t ever stop seeking Me.” Caught up in the light and glory of God, Jesus returned them to the great Southern Gate of Heaven. The companions were again complete and whole.
The Lord Jesus Christ used a key from His belt, and held it up to the spectacular gate; the gate then opened. The glory that Jasper beheld was so magnificent he immediately collapsed to his knees. The gold, silver and precious stones of the Southern gate of Heaven were more beautiful than he could put into words. Amongst the Seven Angels with their mighty wings spread wide, Jasper glided into the open gate. The world Jasper became a part of within, was so vast it seemed to have no end. The high protective walls were silver and the pillars were gold. Like the eyes of a newborn, Jasper saw colors in perfect clarity, so vivid and pure. Dressed in different robes and uniforms of no earthly origin, Angels of Heaven, without number for their vast quantity, gathered around Jasper and the Seven to welcome them home.
Entering the gate, all of the Angels bowed in salute. One stepped forward and welcomed Jasper by name. The Angels; ecstatic with joy to be back home together, flew into the glorious realm of Heaven. Crossing a great expanse of vegetation, through the tree tops they could see spirits of people and animals, not only full of life, but enjoying the peaceful company of one another by pools and lakes of the purest and clearest water.
Traveling further, over many homes, created for each person in Heaven with the labor of love. The first of the homes they saw were still under construction.
Continuing to Heaven’s core was a massive city, larger than the sun. This was the great Holy city of Zion. Flying together, they passed through the vast city, to the most Holy temple of God. Light radiated from it and the light was the glory of God. At the top of the temple was the shimmering throne of God. From under the throne came a spring of living water. Such water was richly blessed and pure.
The temple was like glass for it was made from pure gold. This gold had no impurities at all, that’s why it was so transparent. The Seven Angels, with Jasper, and led by their Master, Jesus Christ, all settled to the floor of the temple at the foot of the throne of the Father. God’s Spirit of Holiness filled the temple.
When Jasper gazed upon the face of the Father seated on His throne, the powerful image of God burned his eyes causing them to glow brightly.
“Don’t be dismayed, Jasper.” Spoke the booming voice of God from his throne. “Your eyes have always been unique, even by the way you perceived the world as a small boy. Now you have been granted eyes to see as I see. Very few have understanding of My perspective, thus of earth, I am greatly ridiculed.”
The Book of Life was opened and Jasper’s name was found written therein, and the ink was fresh. When his name was read, the Angels of Heaven cheered so loud, the likes of which, Jasper had never heard before.
From above, descended the three giant Guardian Angels, Emunah, Tikua and Ahava. They took positions around and behind the One seated on the throne. The Cherubims sang continually.
Surrounding the three Guardian Angels were the twelve disciples, and they honored the presence of the Christ, the Seven young Angels surrounded their friend, Jasper, with their wings stretched high.
On the steps, before Jesus, were many crowns. Addressing the Angels, Jesus said, “You have all proven yourselves both separately and as a team. I have heard your prayers. I know how you want to be in service to me. From this day forward, you Seven shall begin your long commitment as stewards of My holy name. I will send you on countless missions spanning far reaches of creation.” Jesus made his way to each one and placed a beautiful golden crown on each head of the Seven Angels.
First Jesus approached West with such love and adoration in his eyes, West began to feel week in his knees, “West, please accept this crown which is the most spectacular of the crowns for you have endured the greatest hardship. Because of your innocence and great suffering, the limit of your faithfulness was exposed through the flames of Hell. You believed even when you had no faith left to believe. Such blind love is to be commended and rewarded, I grant to you the palace of Thudrosenberg and the planet of Amethyst.”
“You mean on the planet of Amethyst.” West tried to correct the Lord Jesus.
“You heard me right the first time. The planet Amethyst is yours along with the palace city of Thudrosenberg. When the Seven gather, it would be wise to make your palace the usual rendezvous.”
West was filled with great gratitude and became so emotional he couldn’t find the words to speak. He bowed down at the feet of Lord Jesus. In righteousness, obedience and faith, he worshipped his Lord. “Th-thank you Lord.” West finally muttered.
“You have no idea what you are thanking Me for until you see your great palace for yourself.” Jesus answered.
Jesus looked down at West with compassion, “Arise, West for you have found great favor in the eyes of your Father. Be lifted high with respect and admiration for the hardship you have endured. Drink from my cup.” A Cherub followed behind Jesus with a cup which appeared to have been made from a broken half of a simple old wooden cup. The cup contained a portion of the living water from the throne of God. The Cherub offered the cup to West. Taking hold of the cup with both hands, West drank deep. The light within him grew brighter. An aura enwreathed his head intensely, then he flared his awesome wingspan, stretching and fanning his feathered extensions widely.
West stood up and smiled with the satisfaction of a quenched and full-filled heart. “My reward is great, my Lord. Thank You.” With a bright face of light and an expression of enlightenment, West smiled.
Others received and shared of the Lord’s cup. Joel was the last one to accept a crown. Jesus reached out to Joel’s chest and snapped off the half-crown that was fused to his armored chest-plate. The crown piece broke off with ease. Fishing His other hand in His shoulder bag, Jesus render
ed the other half of the crown and pressed the two halves together. After wiping the seams together like they were as pliable as fresh clay, the crown became one and whole again. It was just the way Joel remembered it, when it was new. The gold shimmered and the embedded rubies glimmered like no other crown in existence. It was truly an object of priceless fascination. Lifting the crown, Jesus placed it on Joel’s head.
Joel began to weep in humility. Finally, knowing better, Joel had to do something that wasn’t easy for him to do. He lifted his crown from off his head and placed it gently at the feet of the Lord.
Taking his place in the line of his friends, Joel solemnly composed himself. The others saw the mighty act of their respected friend and turned their heads slightly to look at one another. Joel’s actions were somewhat of a mystery, but when Wilson imitated what Joel had done, and removed his spectacular crown, only to place it next to Joel’s at the feet of the One, Most High, what to do next became clear.
Not one word was spoken in the sanctum of peace and Holiness. Everyone’s crown was set respectfully at the Lord’s feet with no pressure to do so. Not one word was needed. Looking into one another’s eyes they found a bond between them and it was far deeper and meaningful than they could have ever imagined possible. Smiles were exchanged all around as they celebrated a successful mission. Many other Angels joined the group with what looked like an imitation of hugs. Because the spirits are unable to hug without passing through one another, they would just move real close until the electrical light tendrils would reach out and cause a low exchange of energy. This was an intimate expression and a deeper sharing of identification. Jasper was able to identify some of the Angels who passed nearby. They were from the stories the Angels told him.
First, he recognized Pricilla and Perah as they approached Joel. Jasper was amazed at how distinguished they were. Like he imagined, Perah was the only Angel who had scars on his face and a disfigurement to his body from when he was dropped as a baby of clay. Jasper could see in the eyes of Perah, he truly was the most gentle and patient of all the Angels in Heaven.
Pricilla, however, wasn’t exactly what Jasper had expected. Her beauty was beyond his wildest expectations; dressed in armor and furs with a helmet on her head like a traditional Danish Viking. With horns reaching out each side of her helmet, Pricilla’s outfit looked like something Taila might wear.
Eventually, all of the Angels departed the temple and they continued to celebrate with great gratitude. There was so much the Angels needed to talk about with their long lost friend, West.
Jesus led Jasper down a garden path of flat stones. On either side of the path were stone walls about four feet high. Creeping along the stone walls were ivy vines, grape vines and tall thick shrubbery filled with flowers of such vibrant colors Jasper had never seen before.
Following the Lord, Jasper would describe it as being near pure glory. Majesty indescribable, was the power, the light and the love of Jesus. There was no better feeling than to be near Jesus in Heaven. This was all that was important to Jasper. He didn’t want the magnificence of the Christ to leave his sight. Jasper did all he could to stay close to his Lord, especially in the beginning.
The beautiful path; rich with the smells of Heaven also had similar, recognizable scents from the nature of earth. He noted there was an added quality in the way the pleasant scents made him feel. Feelings he never felt before. The stone path led to a short arched bridge. Crossing the bridge to the other side, it opened up to an arbor surrounded with the stand of vines and trees in bloom that grew so high, they came together to form a canopy. It was like a huge natural gazebo. Beyond the gazebo was an open grassy yard surrounded with lush and full vegetable plants. At the end of the yard stood a large immaculate house of brick and stone. The home was the most wonderful and beautiful structure Jasper had ever seen in his life and somehow it spoke to him. The home felt, to Jasper, like it was from a long forgotten memory that was re-awakened; somehow he knew this place. A golden orange glow from the windows, so warm and inviting, beckoned him to come inside. The smell of freshly baked bread eased his soul. The unique connection Jasper felt with the house was better described like a type of Déjà vu. Jasper couldn’t imagine a finer home.
The Lord Jesus Christ went to a vine of cherry tomatoes. He picked one and gave thanks for it, before he offered it to Jasper.
“Oh, Lord, thank you, but I don’t want to touch anything much less eat it without the knowledge of the home owners.” Jasper explained feeling he mustn’t understand the ways of Heaven.
“You’re correct about this. Only you and I are here in this private backyard and I am not the home’s intended owner.” Jesus took a bite from the tomato and smiled at Jasper.
Jasper just stood, perhaps looking awkward but hoping he didn’t look as foolish as he felt. Suspecting the Lord meant the house was for him, Jasper couldn’t conceive of it. After all, he’d just barely gotten into Heaven. ‘It can’t be.’
Jesus’ expression changed as it appeared he was about to ask a question. “Would you care to show me around, inside your home, neighbor?”
Jasper couldn’t contain himself, the gift was far too much for him to accept. Beginning to weep humble tears of great joy, Jasper said. “My Lord, not only is it more beautiful than any home I’ve ever seen, but it’s so big. Why Lord? This would have taken so much work to build, and you want to just give it to me? Are You sure You have the right person? Was it You who built it?”
“I did indeed build this house. I am a carpenter, you know. However, in part, it was you who created this home. A kingdom is built, one brick at a time, and your home here in Heaven was built by one brick at a time also. When you do something pleasing to the Lord, you secure your place in Heaven. When you feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give money to the poor or love someone in my name or my Father’s name, you do it to me. If someone is rude to you when you do something out of the goodness of your heart or they demand more when you give generously, don’t fret, your father here in Heaven knows your deeds and your heart. Your reward will be all the greater. Another brick, so to speak, is added to your home, your honor, your treasure here in Heaven. Now Jasper, continue to do what is pleasing in the Lord’s sight. There’s still so much left to tell of your story.”
Dazed with wonderment and joy, Jasper and Jesus walked into his new home in Heaven where Jasper discovered a bounty of new blessings inside. Waiting for him were spirits from a long lineage of his family line. Loneliness was a distant memory of a past life. Touring Jasper’s new home, Jesus describing all of the clever construction ideas he implemented into the design. As always, what Jesus described was captivating. Only Jesus could explain the construction of the home with such enthusiasm, he built the whole thing with his own nail scarred hands.
Walking with Jesus throughout the city of New Jerusalem, he told Jasper, “You will spend far more time with your Angel friends and you will make many new friends.” The kind and comforting presence of the Lord led Jasper out of the grand Holy City until they meandered upon a vast pasture of vibrant green grass and flowers of colors he had only a glimmer of once before. There, in the pasture, Jasper saw some sheep grazing, when not far off he recognized a certain lamb under a mighty oak tree. The lamb lifted its head and looked at Jasper. Kicking up its hind hoofs in giddy excitement, the young lamb came running at Jasper. “Hayolam, it’s you!” Jasper cheered as he teared up with wide open arms to receive his little companion. The little lamb leaped right through Jasper as though to remind him they were spirits now. The three of them walked all throughout Heaven and the Lord showed Jasper what his new world was all about.
When Jesus spoke, his words were a comfort to Jasper’s soul, “Everything I do, I do in your heart. That is where the Living Waters flow and that is where I am.”
Pulling back the cloak of humility, Jasper was stunned by all he heard.
The Lord continued to speak as they toured Heaven, “Every time you see Me with the eyes of your heart, your m
ind is renewed a little bit more. Soon you will be able to abide by My Spirit continually. When you can, all that you learn by My Holy Spirit will abide in you just as I have fully abided in you from the moment you first believed.”
With matters concerning all things, Jasper and Jesus talked. Time had no meaning.
EPILOGUE
FOR A SHORT WHILE, the tabloids reflected the people’s short sighted opinions of Jasper, but years later he was remembered for saving the planet and dying for what he believed in.
No one was prepared for the unforeseen seriousness of the situation or the domino effect it would cause. In death, Jasper became even more influential and provoking than he could have been in life.
Tanya’s book was published, containing all of Jasper’s experiences. The book was titled, ‘Jasper and the Shelter of Angels,’ and she had the entire book memorized as she also memorized the entire Bible. Tanya began memorizing from Jasper’s Bible. The Bible she later returned to Pastor Reed. Able to speak all of the amazing passages of the Good Book fluently, she used her ability to help others. With an amazing skill at retelling the Bible’s living word in an exciting way Tanya encouraged many people to study more about God.
Janet and Bobby made a great team together as they traveled far and wide speaking at any function that would have them. They spoke about the great things the Lord had used them for. Most of the time they would be found in simple public places like parks or fairs, and their words captivated people with amazement at churches, small group gatherings and countless one on one conversations. Almost everyone would stop and listen, drawing up crowds at a time, because most people recognized them and everyone could relate to the news hype. Individuals remembered where they were the first time they heard about Jasper.
Megan traveled from nation to nation spreading her wonderful stories which were told to her by the Angels. Singing wonderful duets with her daughter Tessa, people rarely knew their music was composed in Heaven.
Tessa grew up to become a beautiful and popular spokesperson for the Lord. Her passion and talent throughout her life was for music. Songs of worship and praise burned in her heart like a red hot furnace and all who listened to her and her mother could understand how wonderful and unique their faith was because they sang from their hearts. It was hard to believe that someone could have their life dramatically altered by a song, but Tessa’s songs did just that for countless fans of her voice. She brought her own expression through her vocal sound, like that of an Angel, to the people of earth along with her own special charisma and flare, unequaled in the world.
Pastor Reed joined a little church in the small town of Princeton, shortly after Jasper’s death. As fate would have it, it was the same church with the unchanged steep tin roof, that Jasper fell from. He became the associate Pastor under the leadership of Pastor Jay Reynolds. Upon the first meeting of the two Pastor’s, Pastor Reed returned the Bible to Pastor Jay that he’d given to Jasper. The old book reflected the harsh journey it had been through with each wrinkle, tear and scuff mark. For the first few years, their pastoral staff also consisted of Tanya, Bobby, Megan, Tessa, Janet and Randy.
Randy fleshed out with a healthy body of strength and a cunning mind for the Lord. So devoted, Randy showed others what it meant to be dead to the world and alive for the Lord. His message usually had some reference to the great mercies he was shown in his life, but his testimony always ended with a particular focus on God’s great love and power and how it was meant for each one, no matter how evil or hopeless their life might seem. Then he gave credit to the memory of Jasper and noted if it weren’t for this one special friend, he wouldn’t be alive to speak at all.
This group of friends would become the new living circle of seven here on earth. In time, they appointed other loyal followers to carry on the work of the Lord for many generations. They provoked a profound spiritual and emotional response from many countless thousands around the entire globe.
The location of Ceramecy remained a secret between the original Seven and was shared with no one. With strict devotion to their secret meetings there, the Ceramecians would return on occasion when they unanimously felt compelled to be closer to the Lord. Each one felt an Angel would appear to them there because the place still held its own unique kind of magic for them. As the years went on, Ceramecy only grew more magnificent for them. It was a reminder that it all really did happen and it empowered their faith. The place was blessed with a Spirit of Holiness that would reside there forever.
As for the Atmospheric Air Scrubbers, countless thousands were made across the globe and the earth’s ozone was eventually repaired. The people of the earth not only breathed clean air, they breathed easy.
The earth was saved.
Praise the Lord!
