Behind the Veil: Angels of the Apocalypse

PROLOGUE

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and desperation makes heroes or villains of us all. I am the angel Aidyn; Seraph Messenger and Chronicler, First Class. I serve at the pleasure of His Majesty King Jesus the Christ (aka the Son).

Several Earth centuries ago, under the supervision of Chief Prince Gabriel in the ancient lands of Babylon and Rome, I assisted the Father and the Son in facilitating a series of visions to human prophets heralding the End of Days. As those days are now upon us, I’ve been granted a special dispensation from the Son to bear witness to those events as they physically unfold. First, let me provide a little context.

There was a battle brewing, a conflict in the Heavens the likes of which creation had never seen. The time was near, and every member of the Heavenly Host could feel it. At the Son’s command, every angel and holy creature in the First, Second, and Third Heaven received orders for mobilization in anticipation of rapidly occurring events. Satan’s rebel army was making preparations as well. Soon, the whole of creation would be engaged in the most monumental event since the Father said, ‘Let there be light.’ It was against this backdrop that I answered a summons to the Holy Throne Room and received an audience with the Son.

“Aidyn,” the Son began as a hint of Heavenly incense wafted its way across the Firmament. “You performed faithfully and well during your time of service to my prophets on Earth, and I wish to both reward and challenge you again.”

“Thank you, my King,” I bowed.

“The end of the Human Age approaches,” the Son explained. “The Rapture, the Period of Tribulation, and the Millennium Period which have always been spiritual realities will soon become physical and historical realities as well. It pleased the Father to use you as our voice before to warn humanity of the events to come, and it pleases me to use you in a similar fashion now. You will provide an unbiased witness to these events on behalf of both the human and angelic communities. What you see and hear, write in a book. When completed, you will deposit it in the Library of Chronicles as a lasting testament of these times. You will receive unlimited access to the Firmament, the Library of Chronicles and the Angelic Dispatches for all three Heavens from now until the Great White Throne Judgment. And, you’ll be the first celestial being below the rank of archangel afforded such sweeping privileges. Will you do this for us?”

“It would be my honor, Lord.”

“Excellent. Contact Tobias, Chief Angelic Chronicler. He will arrange whatever you need.”

“As you command,” I smiled.

Thus, I became a witness to history.

Humans and angels share a common creator, a common history, and in some respects, a common destiny. It is impossible to tell the true story of one without including the other. Therefore, I will as best as I am able, translate the relevant spiritual concepts into physical terms and the relevant physical concepts into spiritual terms; so that angels, humans, and others may benefit from the remarkable exchanges I am about to relate. May, the God of all creation bless this endeavor.

Aidyn’s Commentary

To simplify a myriad of complex variables, the chapters of this account are divided into two sections – Dated Events drawn from Angelic Dispatches and Aidyn’s Commentary drawn from my personal observations. Dated events represent the historic timeline, while the commentaries are notes that I (Aidyn) have provided as background to human and angelic life-ways, activities, organization, and methods of warfare. These notes are included because to understand latter-day angelic and human interactions, one must have at least a basic appreciation of both the human and angelic cultures in operation at the end of the age.

Dated events include:

1) Activities occurring in the physical realm, designated by Earth or Star dates (including bi-locational events such as angels operating within the 1st and 2nd Heavens), and

2) Activities occurring exclusively in the spiritual realm, designated by Firmament dates referred to as Divine Epochs (DE). Commentaries provide wide-ranging observations that will hopefully assist the reader in gaining both a celestial and earthly perspective on events. Let us now consider the dispatches.

PART I

THE FIRST HEAVEN

[GN 1:7-10]

CHAPTER 1

Angels

“Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?” [Heb 1:14 NAS]

First Heaven / Earth date: Oct. 15th

Whoosh! Two Angels materialized out of thin air on either side of a Patriot Airlines 737 screaming towards earth. Its passengers, along with the air traffic controllers at Miami International Airport, held their breath as the jet careened towards the Atlantic Ocean. In the cockpit, the pilot (Captain Joseph ‘Josie’ Masterson) fought with all his might to regain control of his aircraft, while Copilot Pete Wallace updated the tower. For the first time in his extensive career, Josie was frightened.

“Miami Control, this is Patriot Air two-one-three,” Pete said as calmly as he could manage in the buffeting airliner. “Have suffered catastrophic engine and back-up generator failure due to lightning strike from storm; unable to reestablish power to flight controls; rapidly losing altitude; experiencing difficulty regaining positive glide path. We are declaring an in-flight emergency.”

“Roger, Patriot two-one-three,” the air traffic controller replied, “will advise Coast Guard Search and Rescue.”

“Lord, help us,” Josie whispered for the second time in as many minutes.

At the same time, twelve year-old Chelsea Cruz seated in the economy section of the aircraft was also praying. She was repeating the words from Psalm 91:11.

“‘For, He will give His Angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. … For, He will give His Angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. …”

All around her, people were in a stunned state of panic. Some were holding onto each other, some were crying.

Outside in the fierce storm, unseen to the passengers, the two Angels worked quickly to restore essential power to the aircraft then took hold of its lower fuselage. With extraordinary strength, countering the weight of the plane and the powerful blasts of swirling air, they steadily lifted the forward section of the plummeting aircraft. This action stabilized the jostling and allowed lift to resume without ripping the plane’s wings or engines off. The reestablished power, coupled with even, rushing air against the turbine blades was enough to assist Josie in restarting one of the aircraft’s engines.

It isn’t full power, but it’ll do, Josie smiled.

Ten minutes later, Patriot Airlines flight 213 made a picture perfect landing at Miami International Airport.

As the passengers and crew hugged and shouted for joy after they had come to a stop, Chelsea whispered a quiet prayer.

“Thanks, Lord,” she said. “That was a close one.”

High above the airstrip, floating in the azure blue, lower Stratosphere, Samuel (an Angelic Sentinel) heard her.

You’re welcome, dear one, he smiled.

Thirty minutes later, on the drive back to her mom’s townhouse in the suburbs of Miami, Chelsea watched the passing scenery and had the strangest, most wonderful fee
