surrounded Tim when he first entered into this dream is now totally black.
Energy leaps forth from the two beings, as a rainbow aura travel along with it. The lightning like energy caresses the shining globe, as parts of it are cast out like sparks. He watches as the sparks encircle the forms like the rings around Saturn. At this time Timothy hears sound for the first time as voices give glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Once again the energy springs from the large beings, but with such magnitude it almost blinds Tim, as he is forced to close his eyes. He is compelled to place his arm over his face, as he tries to block the glaring light until he senses the light dim. Then he again looks upon the vista before him and is awed by what he sees. Before him he sees the universe, unhindered by the skies of the Earth. He looks about him at the trillions of stars that now fill the black space around him. At its core float the two incandescent forms, still ringed by the small spark like forms.
Instantaneously, a bright flash occurs, and Timothy finds himself in a different part of the cosmos. He looks about him to see a moon-like planet floating close to him. He watches in fascination as four glowing forearms appear, the hands of which move over the surface of the sphere below. A rainbow-like aura surrounds the world, as clouds begin to form within the small orb’s atmosphere. He watches as the flashes of lightning flicker within the rolling clouds, and he realizes that rain must be falling beneath them. Time passes, and the clouds dissipate. Slowly, at first, Tim begins to see the large body of water. When finally most of the clouds have broken up, he sees it clearly. It appears that all the surface before him is water, reflecting the blue sky of the planet’s atmosphere. He looks closely for any sign of land, but none can be seen. Then on the horizon, a faint brownish tint appears, slowly at first, as the world rotates upon its axis, until finally he sees the massive continent reveal itself to him for the first time.
As he looks upon it he again sees the forearms appear, and he watches as the four limbs begin to sculpt the massive land before him. He looks on as mountains shoot up into the sky, and as other land drops away to let water flow into huge lakes down the middle of the terrain. A rainbow like beam strikes the ground as the quartet of hands passes over the remaining surface, leaving a trail of green in its wake.
:6:43 a.m.
Timothy gently awakens from his deep sleep; then suddenly the memories of his dream begin to pour through his mind. He quickly gets out of bed, unaware that he has awakened his spouse by his actions. Then quickly he goes to the opposite side of the house and enters his office. He sets at his small desk, turns on his computer, and begins to write down his dream.
Shortly after Tim begins this, Christa appears in his office doorway, and watches as he quickly types.
THE SECOND EXCURSION
:March 4
:9:50 p.m.
Tim lies in his bed as he thinks back on his last dream. It was so fantastic that after he wrote it down, he immediately called Gerald, who came over at once. When Gerald had arrived at the Brownings’, Timothy set him and Christa down. He calmly began to tell them of his dream, but by the time he was through he had worked himself into a joyful mass of energy almost ready to explode.
This energy had become so immense within him that for several nights that followed, he was unable to sleep properly, in an excited anticipation.
Now it has been three weeks, and still no new dreams have filled his sleep. Tim feels a sudden exhaustion from his lack of good deep rest and so begins to relax. Inside a few minutes he is fast asleep.
“Timothy,” comes a loud voice, and Tim looks up to see a large shining form before him.
“Who are you?”
“I am Gabriel.”
“Are you the same angel that appeared to Daniel?”
“Yes, I am the same.”
“So angels don’t have wings?”
“No, that is a misnomer. Only the Cherubim and Seraphim have wings.”
“Why are you so large?”
“This is our natural size, but when we appear within your realm of reality, we make ourselves look like you. We are a spiritual being, and we are at our most comfortable here.”
“So then when there were giants, they were angels?”
“Goliath, and his kind were the offspring of the Fallen, but there was a time when we walked upon the Earth like this. Come; I will show you.”
As Gabriel finishes his sentence, Tim suddenly finds himself surrounded by large palm-like trees as large insects fly overhead. They move along through the giant forest until they come to a clearing. Here Timothy stops and looks on in wonderment.
Before him is a small village, which is made up of clay huts. Within the small hamlet he sees human like creatures going about their daily activities. He looks into the sky as a shadow passes overhead. He glances up to see a lightly furred Pterosaur flying through the air. Then Tim sees some bright colors in the side of his eyes. He turns in the direction of the unusual colors and sees a young man scratching the head of a small orange and green tyrannosaurus-like creature.
“Watch the village for a moment,” Gabriel asks, and Timothy does so. Suddenly out of nowhere, a giant form appears with several others of the human-like beings.
“What...?” Tim says taken totally off guard.
“Do you remember what happened to Philip in the book of Acts?”
“Yes, I do.”
“That is how all long journeys were done in this age. There was no need for any type of vehicles. Come, I want to show you the angel that brought them here.” So Timothy follows the angel as he walks into the village.
As they enter the village, Tim notices that no one looks at them, and so he turns to Gabriel to ask him why.
“This is just an image from days gone by. They lived these events long ago. We are still in our time, passing through these past images like the spirits that we are.” The large angel speaks before Timothy’s words leave his lips as they walk up to the other angel. Tim looks closely at the form before him as the mammoth being kneels down to talk with the smaller beings about him. Timothy notices the brown hair and compelling features as he laughs with the inhabitants of the village. A female walks up to him and hands him a large earthen bowl. It appears that he is thanking her as he starts to drink, but Tim never hears the sound of any of the beings speak. Timothy looks ever closer at the huge face before him and soon turns to look at his companion.
“Yes, that is Dion,” Gabriel states. “This was the first time he tasted this drink, and from this moment on he will start to care for it, even more than his love for his Father.”
“Is it liquor?”
“Wine. This is the early years of the creations. All the forms were new, and we learned many things about our Father’s universe. Many of my fellows began to love the things of the great creation. Many began to love these things more than who created these various objects in the first place.”
“Who are these people?” Tim asks as he looks at the beings about him.
“They are what you call the Pre-Adamic race. God loved them the most. He made them to care for his other creations of this world, much like Adam and Eve were in the second creation. They lived off the land and for the land. They did not eat meat or kill any of the creation.
“The only difference between these people and those two of the second creation is that God created all of them at one time, placed Lucifer in charge of them, and gave them that.” Gabriel gestures to a large tree in the center of the hamlet. Its tall trunk is a glowing white. Timothy walks over to the huge tree and looks up into its branches. The sky blue leaves remind him of the Star of David. He looks closely at the rainbow colored fruit that hangs from the tree; and he knows, without being told, that this is the tree of eternal life.
“They have all eaten of this tree, unlike Adam and Eve, who ate of a tree that was never seen in this creation. They were given this gift because their Father loved them so. But....”
:6:45 a.m.
The buzzer erupts within his ears, as Tim jumps up surprised by the sudden and loud sound, which cuts short the end of his dream.
The Sad Journey
:April 15
:10:51 p.m.
Tim has been very busy for the past few weeks, since his last dream. Christa and he are preparing their house to be sold, and have been quite busy. Between painting the house, caring for the lawn, and working at his job, he has found little time to write down his latest dream. Finally though, he does find the time and just finishes when a feeling of heavy tiredness hits him all at once, and so he turns in for the night. Within minutes he is fast asleep.
Below him Timothy can see the earth. The once massive continent, is now fragmented into several parts, but the pieces are still close together.
“What’s happened?” He asks himself aloud.
“This is the aftermath of the first rebellion,” the strong, but now familiar voice says, as Tim looks behind him to see Gabriel again. “Half of the people have become dissatisfied with their lives, while the rest are still happy with God and His ways. Soon all knew of this, and one of the arch angels presented himself before God. He asked God for the stewardship of the planet, and so God agreed. This angel was Lucifer, and as his first action he requested this.”
“But didn’t God know that Lucifer wanted to be God?”
“Yes he knew full well, but he gave the stewardship
