Who is that being so wise and ignorant, so humble and arrogant, so brave and timid, so powerful and weak, so winner and loser, so holy and demon? That is what you´ll see in the next pages.

BEFORE HIM

Once upon a time there was a dark, gigantic and almost infinite empty space. The vast emptiness receives numerous stars grouped in many  constellations. The Sun becomes the fifth star in order of brightness. Despite so many bright stars, their light still cannot cross the large nebulous mass.

Then a huge bubble of air is created, in the middle of that restless  mass, while opens up a stupendous ring of the same mass around the same bubble. Water and granite amalgamated from numerous different types are the components of that stupendous arch .

Now comes the turn of that ring split into many blocks, which became known as planets and satellites. 
Now the waters are focusing on different places, separated from the granites in each block. One of those blocks of water and solids is our Earth. In our Planet, the waters are focused in privileged volume.

The stars go on warming up their planets and satellites, however, they don´t illuminate through the mega space yet.

Then arises the vegetation with their large range of species, both trailing as forestry, aquatic as earthy , wild  as fruitful.

The Sun's rays and other stars begin to illuminate their planets and satellites, among them, the land and our romantic Moon. On that occasion, the entire dynamic solar system also begins to be seen by no one here, because there is yet no creatures to see it. However, the planets fully magnetized already have their performance, turning around themselves and gravitating around their stars kings. The best known result of that dynamics for everyone today is the alternation of day and night, cold and heat, spring and summer, autumn and winter.

Now, then the first living things arise, which are the fish with their innumerous species, the same happening with the birds.

       The following appear the land animals, also distributed in many types, large and small, meek and brave, oviparous and mammals, bipeds and quadrupeds.

A STRANGE CREATURE

Finally, it appears the most notable of all beings ever seen on the face of the Earth. The Man Angel. He had a chemical composition very similar to that of animals, and showed also a similar physiognomy, in certain cases. Its organs were also similar, though far more complex. He communicated with the bugs as he could, but so very limited, because those friends couldn't build thoughts nor had words to do it.

But, why such a difference between the two types of creatures? Someone had blown in the nostrils of the Man Angel, transmitting to him some skills and exceptional feelings, beyond the instincts and fanny of those fellows. Remarkable fact was that at that moment, his understanding came to life, through self-consciousness and the consciousness of the one who had blown in his nostrils the breath of living soul.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANGEL

The Man Angel began to observe the animals behave in different ways. Some disputing his surveillance and friendship. Others, besides remembering his face, for imitation of his gestures. Some, even repeating his speech. The memory was also notable in some others. Then, he started to give names to those friends, according the temperament and aptitude of each.

It was then that he realized something very special.
- They all have companions of the same species. I'm the only one here alone in the midst of all this joyful creatures. What will become of me so lonely?

That same person who had given him life, he made the Man Angel fell into deep sleep. At that time, he took part in one of his ribs and covered again the place of the scar. With that stem cell in his hands, he set up a beautiful creature, at the same time so similar and yet so different from her matrix.

The Angel Man woke up and came across this wonderful gift, apparently equal, but with unmistakable differences. 
- Now, I see I'm in front of a person like me in flesh an bones. I'm going to call her woman, Ishá, because from man, Ish, was taken. We can now fulfill the order we received to fill and look after the Earth.

Our hero has created some interesting and even funny thoughts about his beautiful Angel.
- How pretty is my Angel in the world!
- I was the prototype and she the masterpiece. 
- How must I treat my Angel?
- She was not taken from my feet, that I don´t crush her or be crushed by her. She was not taken from my head, not to dominate or be dominated by her.  But she was taken from the left side of my chest, to love her and be loved by her.

A beautiful kingdom had been created. He, strength. She, beauty. He, the protection. She, the protected. He, love. She, the honor. But all that is composed of a symbiosis of harmony and reciprocity between the King and his Queen. All this goes ahead and passes to princes and princesses, fruits of the same beautiful love.

THE GREAT TRAGEDY

Our hero had already doubled around 18 times, to a few hundred thousand copies, but he was not complete at all.  He was not meant to be a robotic or captive as those irrational. To this end, it was necessary to go through a proof that elevated him to the status of voluntary and conscious subject. An autonomous. Not an automaton. For this, he was offered the opportunity to make a choice between two lifestyles. This right was what we today call a free will. He could choose between the two styles of life and also the consequences of each of them. So, he would become a real Angel Man.

As a symbol of those options, in the garden of his residence, two special trees were planted among all others. The tree of life, standing for the Well and Life and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, standing for the Bad and Death. One of those innocent little friends, maybe the less noble of them all, was sagaciously taken by another Angel, the Evil one, like repeating the ventriloquist dummy, contradicting the words of him who had already driven him out of paradise most high. Such expulsion had happened when he also had the opportunity to make a choice similar to our hero.

- Is it true tyou are forbidden to eat of every tree of the garden?

- No, not at all. We're free to eat of every fruit of the garden. Only the fruit of the tree of good and evil we mustn´t eat.

- Do you know why? Eating of this fruit, you will have your eyes open to see both the good and the evil, making you equal to the one who gave the order to you. And that's all he doesn´t want.

So the woman was filled with curiosity and desire to taste the fruit of that tree, harvested and ate it. She didn´t forget to share it with her husband, who also ate. They both remembered the order they had received and experienced the pains of death at once, so clearly prevented.

Sadness, shame and fear invaded the heart, the mind and spirit of the two. Spiritual death was consummated. Shame and fear from whom they had been presented with life, were the immediate results of the bad choice.

-Clay! Where are you?

-I heard your voice in the garden and I got scared and hid myself.

-Have you eaten from the tree of good and evil?

-The woman you gave me gave me of the tree, and I ate.

-What have you done, woman?

-The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

From now on, they couldn´t receive the usual visit of their Benefactor and were expelled from the garden, not to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life, rejected by them in the days of innocence. If they ate it now, there would be no hope for any recovery.

-I will put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed. He will crush your head, but you will just hurt his heel.

AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, A LIGHT

A very special Light had already been presented when the Bad Angel heard his sentence.

When the Angel Man was expelled from Paradise, that same light could be seen symbolically. So he does not extend his hand and do not eat of the tree of life and live forever in his death. Thus, our hero was not scorned on any time. On the contrary, everything was done so that he could always look at that light and he was refunded to his condition of a perfect Angel Man.

DEATH COMES HOME

Because of that unfortunate choice, the man Angel suffered the pain of a new kind of death within his own home. The two children born after the fall had a serious disagreement. In fact, there was no disagreement. There was jealousy. The older brother presented his offer for mere religious obligation and his gift remained on the floor where he had placed it. He also saw that the sheep of his brother had been accepted and consumed. Enraged, he struck his brother and killed him.

Death, premature or not, is something that wasn't part of the Supreme ideals for Angel man. The perfect plan should be something similar to a cocoon that turns into a beautiful Butterfly, flying through the air. However the tragedy of death, as we know, is still very much softer than the other proven by our hero still in Eden. Not no use to repeat, If our hero had stayed in the garden and eaten of the tree of life, he would have been lost forever.

A NEW BEGINNING

The man Angel grew greatly in number and also in wickedness, mainly in violence. Angelic figures teamed up with the virgins, and produced a perverse and violent generation. Hence, a huge flood was announced and prepared for more than a hundred years. You can then conclude that repentance, regeneration and happiness, and not the punishment, were the real target of the long process.

As our hero didn't take his chance, the avalanche became inevitable. If something wasn't done, life on earth would become impossible, as impossible was already. As the goal was not to extinct but preserve the Angel Man, it was necessary to turn on that light at the end of the tunnel again, what really happened. With the birth of Seth to the first couple, one of the sons of the same blessed Seth came on the scene.

That hope was Noah, who by revelation has received its name, Rest. This was the Angel Man responsible for advertising and keep those who would believe in the reality of the great scourge.

During a hundred, maybe, one hundred and twenty years, the righteous Noah built a gigantic ship, all formatted according to the instructions he received. It should be placed a pair of every animal species, less the aquatic and amphibian, of course. As for the people, they wouldn't fit all in there, but we have to take into account two significant things. First, if people believed in the flood, this wouldn't happen and they wouldn't need to enter the big boat. Second, effectively the people did not believed and asked for any shelter. 

It's easy to imagine, while listening to the crash of axes and hammers and the rubbing of saws.

      -Look up that insane senile building that giant boat don't know what for. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!

-He himself is going to drown himself with his wife and their children. Hahahahahaha!!

After a century, because the infidelity of our hero, with all that willing to remain in his depraved lifestyle and violence, it came the announced flood. Forty days of rain and the gushing of springs were enough to flood the Earth and eliminate all its living creatures.

Today, we can still see all those impressions of what was left by the waters of the great flood. High mountains and valleys, sea shells in their crests, superimposed layers of different and distinct granites, fossils of trees, birds, fish, animals and humans of different ages, oil composed of all those beings, caves and canyons of rounded shapes, and much more. All saying something very fast and dynamic happened on our planet, without which, even many billions of years couldn´t be enough to perform. Food in the mouth of fossilized animals shoulld not be overlooked. It speaks of a gigantic surprise.

BABEL and BABYLON

Now that our hero had been saved from extinction, the Earth was populated through the three sons of Noah and their wives, since the old Noah and his wife did not have any more children. Arose, then, a strong and beautiful generation, until the same Angel Man went back to think he could live by himself and be happy. He forgot the order received to fill the Earth in order to take care of it properly. This independent generation leadership, hoping not spread by the blue planet, architected build a tower so high that reached the celestial vault, as if that were possible.

-Hey! Courage! Let's all together raise a tower as high as the blue of the sky! No one can escape our eyes from above. We will be always together and we will have a powerful and indestructible empire!

The crazy idea liked that no less fearless generation and put themselves to work. It was then that it became apparent that the Supreme architect was totally against any global empire at the hands of the Angel Man. The land would have to be looked after and ruled through nations by themselves.   

So, communication interference was made on those leaders and their workers, forcing the tribes there represented to spread throughout the land. It was the so-called confusion of languages, which also gave its name to the place, Tower of Babel, Tower of confusion or simply Babylon.

Remarkably, that same generation may have been fixed in different continents because in those years, the land was divided, surely making it impossible, for many centuries, new attempts to build global empires.

THE  LOST TWINS
The generation of the Angel Man was still composed of very distinguished samples in the middle of other very nasty. From the family of Shem, one of the three sons of Noah, a noble was born. Abram, father exalted, who had his name changed to Abraham, father of Nations. He became a strategic element in the contemplation of that light at the end of the tunnel, long announced. So even though his name had been symbolically modified this Angel Man was so high character, that he came to obey an order to leave his land, with all he had, and then go to another faraway land, he would be presented yet. Humanly speaking, that Abraham was the father of two sons, Ishmael and Isaac, which in turn spawned two of the most illustrious peoples of the Earth, the Arab and the Israeli. Spiritually speaking, he became the father of the righteous of all nations.

Our hero, largely, again veered to evil, focusing particularly in the twin cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. The evil arrived to such an extent, that the Creator had no other way, but to put an end to its inhabitants.

The same Abraham interceded passionately by both cities in an attempt to rid their children of possible injustice, notably the nephew who lived there with his wife and two daughters.

Wickedness was so great, that when the three celestial angels came there to burn the cities up and liberate the noble family, the men who had seen them in the square ran to the house of Lot to rape those visitors, supposing they were men like themselves.

What is left of the memory of that evil and violent people, beyond their own perversity, is the dead sea to what the twin sisters were converted.

THE LIGHT SHINES

Remember the great Abraham? His name has not been changed by accident. He was chosen to be the father of many nations. Two thousand years have passed since our encounter with him and his nephew in Sodom in our last chapter. We now have that light at the end of the tunnel plane of splendor. It was the Light that illuminates every person who comes into the world. It was the descendant of Abraham by foster line, since it was born of the high as a New Man. Bringing the pre-existing quality, the everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. He was born and lived in predetermined cities. He did and said things  never realized someone else could have performed. Experienced trial and sentencing as expected. He was betrayed and executed as designed. Resurrected as promised and promised to return for the final judgment of the angelic humanity.

The resurrection became the central theme of the new Adam´s followers. There have been efforts to deny any real foundation in the unprecedented event. There was bribery of the guards of the Tomb. There was no permission for witness statements. There was execution of those who refused to shut up. Some of the witnesses have been with him in the space of forty days between his resurrection and returning to his Father.

The man God died for all, but no one would die for him as a corpse. They were  absolutely sure and the Redeemer was worth more than their lives. So, they lived and died for him as he lived and died for them.

Here some of the most remarkable dialogues with God Man.

-A Prince: Master. How can a person be born again?

-God Man:... God so loved the world that he gave his only son. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.

-God Man: what people say about me?

-Disciples: You are the Anointed, the Son of the living God.

-God Man:... Upon this rock I will build my church.

-Samaritan woman: are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well having drunk himself from him?

-God Man: Whoever drinks of this water will be thirsty. But the one who drinks the water I give him will never be thirst any more.

-Opponents: Lord. This woman should be stoned.

-God Man: The one who is without sin, cast the first stone.

-God Man:... Where are your accusers? No one condemned you?

-The Woman: Nobody, Lord.

-God Man: Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.

-Opponents: We are sons of Abraham and never been slaves of anyone. How do you say, you shall be free?

-God Man: You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free... If the Child free you, you shall be really free .

-Opponents: Why haven't you brought him?

-Guards: Never a man spoke like this man.

-God Man: Your brother Lazarus will resurrect.

-Marta: I know that he will be resurrected at the last day.

-God Man: I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if he die he will live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe that?

-Thomas: Lord ... How can we know the way?

-God Man: I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me.

-Philip: Lord. Shows us the Father. That's all we want.

-God Man:... I'm a long time with you, and still do not know me, Philip? Who saw me, saw the Father. How do you say, show us the Father?

Governor: What is the truth?

-God Man: total silence.

King: Did ask him many questions, as well.

-God Man: Nothing replied.

(This silence is something more than curious.  someone pointed out that in Latin letters, language of the trial, Quid est veritas?, What is the truth?, are the same letters with which the God Man would be responding, in silence, to the Governor, Vir qui ad te est, the Man who stands before you.)

-Thief: Lord. Remember me when you come into your Kingdom!

-God Man: …Even today you will be with me in Paradise.

17 CENTURIES LATER

Jump now to the seventeen century and see the Angel Man still embroiled in their own net, in the form of humanism, rationalism, Illuminism, materialism, and other ISMs he created.

One declares that a species of Superman is on the way.

One declares that everything you can't assimilate by the mind doesn't deserve credit.

One declares that everything came from certain Monads or any other array.

One declares that the Scripture would disappear in 50 years.

One declares that, before the greatness of the divine deeds, he was like a child playing with the little shells of the sea.

One declares that religion is the opium of the people

One declares that everything came from nothing or from itself since some billion years.

And that's how we passed by World War One, 1914 to 1919, World War Two, 1939 to1944, and by the cold war, waving to us still today.  Our hero continues promoting and suffering constant local wars, extreme poverty, hunger, disease and epidemics.

Religious intolerance of our hero puns freedom with death, even today.

Personal violence robs peace from the individual, the right to come and go even to work and school, the right to leisure and tourism and the sacred right to live.

All this because the Light of the World is rejected in great extent of the globe, where the Angel Man puts himself in place of its Creator, wanting to govern by himelf without him.

 ICARUS´ WINGS

Alike his Emanuel,
        Alike a very angel,
        So friend of the demons, 
        To the neighbors so equal.

Missing divine image,
        He went from Heaven to Hell,
        Though so far from his El,
        He created Icarus´ wings.

He flew high in Science,
        He flew high in Arts,
        He flew high in sight.

He fell down in nonsense,
         He fell down like stars,
         He fell down from light.

FLYING LIKE AN ANGEL

Unfair would be ignore the fabulous participation of large copies of our hero Angel Man in many areas of human life during those three centuries commented above.

Sacred and classical music had its splendor and still fascinates us today like it was, and being in fact, a true anteroom of eternity. 

What to say about Literature, Painting, Sculpture and Architecture?

In the 20th century, we must not forget the great industrial, scientific and technological progress achieved by the hands of our hero. Just look at the car, the train, the Telegraph, the telephone, the radio transmitter, the plane, the television, the computer, the internet, the great progress of medicine, recent space achievements and many other advances.

            Each of these fine arts, discoveries and achievements of all time, and also at the beginning of this 21st century, shows a fingerprint of the creative hands and makes you feel the breath blown into the nostrils of our hero Angel Man.

A GLORIOUS FUTURE

Today, three or more billions of copies of our hero possess excellent qualities. They are fighting for the construction of a better world, but fail to reach its target, because, despite their merits, they are still trying to live far from their Autor. They are also fighting a great war against other three billion or more evil and ambitious samples, which endanger the peace and security in the entire beautiful blue planet.

The lack of solution to the major problems of humanity is the lack of love for neighbor, which will only be known in the love of God Man. Here is the only hope for a truly happy end to our hero, who, far from coming back to the sad category of a loser, he can return to his fabulous lost paradise more than a winner
.

FLYING ALWAYS 

O, Angel Man. Keep arising to new fabulous flights towards the infinite. But, know you will never come to a happy end, unless you let yourself be rocked by the one who gave you wisdom and conquers!

LAST FLIGHT

Open your wings, o, Angel Man. Arise now to your ultimate flight. Your adamic wings are returning to clay. Your immortal breath is coming back to the One who blew in your nostrils the gift of eternal life.
