EMERGENCY

"To me, he was a creation of mine that I never wanted to leave my sight. I don't know why he turned his back on me and betrayed me. I know that I should know all things. But Lucifer was one of my best beings. It shouldn't have been him that Devil would have had eyes for." Alpha said in a really sad tone.

As usual, He sat on His great golden throne and spoke with His son.

Jesus replied. "But father, it's not your fault that Lucifer and other angels have joined the ranks of Devil. It's just unfortunate that it had to be our dear Lucifer."

"So unfortunate. I still feel Lucifer fighting to be free from Devil's clutches as they are now one in the form of Satan."

"But you know that his fight will be in vain. Devil wants the evil to continue and as he has more powers than Lucifer, he will keep him bound in that being."

"You're right my son. Even though I feel Lucifer's struggle, I won't redo what I did to both of them and the angels who dared to go against my will. Sooner than later, both of them will work in sync and agree on darkness together."

"I think I should call for the choir to sing your praises. We are..."

"I'm sorry to walk in at this odd hour, but something is at hand my Lords!" Gabriel spoke while ending the father and son dialogue abruptly.

"What's so urgent that a dialogue with my son would be disrespected."

"I pray this never happens again but all the other Domains and their mighty leaders have sent urgent word my King." Gabriel answered.

"What is wrong? Has there been an uprising?" Alpha spoke.

"No Alpha, the dark lords from beyond the Milky way are threatening to strike our galaxy because they have received a message from Satan that this is the right time to attack."

"What do my fellow rulers desire?" Alpha spoke humbly.

"They all need your assistance. They feel they won't win on their own. They want it to be like old times."

"Ok. Send them word that I will be visiting each of their Domains to make plans. Before that call Michael for me right now. I can sense war beyond these gates."

"Yes Alpha."

The meeting between Alpha and angel Michael had begun. Not just the best Soldier in Milky way and his ruler were present. The son of Alpha and the 24 elders of Heaven were present. Alpha needed to sound the alarm before anyone else.

Alpha began the meeting while seating at the head of the great round table of Heaven with His son by His right side, twelve elders by Jesus's side, another twelve elders by Alpha's left side all round up to make a circle and Michael opposite Alpha on the table.

Alpha spoke first. "I have called this emergency meeting to keep you all abreast of the resent and quite alarming development. I know you all are wondering where Gabriel is. I have a task for him so he won't be joining us. Look...the dark lords are planning to attack the last pure galaxy standing in the universe. All others have fallen to their rule. Now, with their supposed might and innumerable demons, they have decided to stretch out their hands of ugly benevolence to accommodate Milky way. Whether you like it or not, this is an emergency like never before. This happened before, but now we won't let them go as far as they went before."

After Alpha spoke, it seemed like no one could talk again. They all seemed stiff and frightened. Well all except Jesus and Michael seemed afraid. With Michael's experience as a seasoned warrior built by Alpha for that sole purpose, he feared nothing except his masters; the Trinity. Jesus knows His father a lot that He just can't be afraid. Besides, His father and Him are one.

Akim an elder suddenly replied. "Jehovah we've seen what the dark lords are capable of doing. With their might they almost utterly destroyed Domain Antares. If not for your leadership to lead the fight against them, most of our fellow Domains would have been gone."

Another elder Zerah cut in. "Jehovah, Akim is right. At that time Devil was without, but now he's within! What do we do? Let's bring an end to him! Else he will hunt us from inside out."

Alpha was really disappointed with what was just uttered by the elders who by making; all have the same thoughts, instincts and judgement. He was about to vent His wrath when suddenly a likely mediator interrupted.

"You all remember the might of the enemies. Do you not recognise the owner of the universe? Everything is coming together to lift His name above all other names. With just words He surpassed every other Ruler. His might can never be challenged. No one is like our God in Heaven, in his created worlds and in the whole universe. Satan and his demons will regret ever becoming what they've become and the dark lords are going to be crushed because my God is God!" Jesus said firmly. He did so because He knows His Father's anger can pull off the roof above their heads and also to make His Father calm.

Among all, no one could speak again. The elders all realized they had made a mistake by speaking little of their master. Michael was proud that someone like Jesus was the Prince of Heaven. For Alpha, His thoughts ran wild. He was happy yes. Who doesn't want his son to defend him. But Alpha began to imagine what a great mediator His son was. The prophecies had spoken a lot about Jesus but Alpha never liked any of it, especially the first part. Tears almost left His eyes when He began to imagine how painful it will be to be laid as a sacrifice for the whole Universe. Well the time for that was getting close and Jesus knew nothing about it. Just Alpha.

The elders then spoke simultaneously. "We are deeply sorry Jehovah."

Not minding the elders, Michael spoke humbly to Alpha. "My King, what do we do then with all these happenings?"

Alpha stood up and said. "The time has come for the prophecies which the ancient Eon beings of the universe spoke to be fulfilled. I know it's only I in this room that knows the prophecies. But we need to work according to my leading and also be careful because the dark lords and Devil also know the prophecies."

Benak an elder then spoke. "Jehovah please what are these prophecies?"

Alpha replied. "One among the host of heaven must be sacrificed to liberate man and the whole universe. One among the host of heaven must go down to earth to dwell among men to teach them the way and to be killed thereby bringing a new covenant between Alpha's best creation and Alpha who will rule the whole universe as before."

Benak spoke again. "Who would this sacrifice be?"

"It's left for any one from the host of heaven to come up and say let me be the one."

Alpha knew that it had to be Jesus. What if something went wrong while His son is laid as a sacrifice. He would never forgive Himself. But then another heavenly being could also be sacrificed but not by force. If it's any other being except for Jesus, the sacrifice would be partial and they would have to fight off every demon in the universe with the demons being a slight weaker than the angels and not completely weaker as is supposed to be the case if Jesus is sacrificed.

Jesus then spoke. "Then I suggest we spread word through out heaven to get a volunteer."

Alpha said. "Michael, comand all Dominions, Principalities and Powers to leave the first heaven. Let them all go up and be stationed in the third heaven. Leave the second heaven, let the evil powers of earth control it. Makesure that all angelic rebels be left in the first heaven to serve their master Satan. Keep strong watch for all my beloved on earth. All this is to make the Devil think we are giving up. Go now."

"Yes Alpha."

Gabriel flew in while Michael flew out.

Alpha spotted Gabriel and immediately said. "Gabriel ask the elders to brief you on our meeting. After that take word to the host of heaven asking who would volunteer to be the universe's sacrifice as the elders will tell you all about. When you're done come back and tell me what the other rulers said."

"Yes Alpha."

Jesus was really worried, but He just didn't know why. He couldn't think right too. Then He asked His father.

"Alpha."

"Yes my son."

"Do all of these have to do with me?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"There's this feeling I'm having deep within me that I have to do something. That the hope of the universe is all in my hands. Please tell me something I don't know."

"Don't worry my son, you'll find out everything soon."

Jesus said nothing as He left to move about heaven to greet everyone and help to perform some duties.

Gabriel and Michael had returned from their duties and had briefed Alpha. It happened that more angels assigned to earth had lost faith in Alpha and joined the ranks of Satan which was what Alpha decided to stop by moving the rest. Also, no one came out to volunteer.

Time was running out and Alpha decided to make part of the prophecy known to man. He spoke with His faithful servants on earth about the prophecies and they proclaimed it to the world for all to repent. Many didn't listen. But whether they liked it or not, the prophecies were about to be fulfilled. Alpha wanted His closest people, Israel to be part of this new happenings. So He had in mind to send whoever would volunteer to be a sacrifice to be part of Israel.

Jesus was still troubled within. He decided to make His new resolution known to His father.

"My God and King." Jesus addressed Alpha as He walked into the great throne room where Alpha sat.

"Yes my son. What's the matter?" Alpha spoke with so much worry on His face that His glory went low.

"I have decided to be the lamb."

"What are you talking about? What lamb?"

"The lamb that will save the universe."

"No no no my son. Please don't do this to me. Don't do this to yourself. Look, out there is really cruel."

"But father, that is the only way. No one wants to be the sacrifice and I've been thinking within me that this is my duty."

"Hmm... guardians, leave us!" Alpha looked around, giving command for all the angels in the huge throne room to leave.

As they left, Alpha then spoke with a low tone.

"You see my son, it's you that the prophecies spoke of to be the sacrifice."

"So why can't I?"

"It's because all my enemies have their eyes on you. I don't fear anyone but I don't want you to get hurt in anyway."

"Alpha, I have made up my mind. I will be the sacrifice for men and for the universe."

"It's what you want. I won't go against you."

"Thank you father. I will make you proud."

"I will be with you in every step of the way. For now I think it's time for you to prepare. Tell two Seraphim to come in immediately. I will plan a ceremony for you and I'll let everyone know your decision."

"Yes father."
