Leon approached the guardshack at the entrance of the prison.
One of the guards exited the shack and leveled a gun at his chest. "No visitors allowed until further notice."
"I'm not a visitor. I'm here to turn myself in to the authorities."
"What?" The guard looked perplexed.
"I'm a criminal and I should be in prison." Leon said.
The guard just looked at him. "Ok. What kind of criminal are you?" The other guard in the shack had stepped out the door and had a rifle in his hands.
"I'm a child molester." Leon confessed.
Both guards looked at each other. One of them raised his eyebrow as if to say, 'This guy is a nutcase.' They both looked at Leon. "Look buddy," the first guard said, "We barely have enough food here to feed the prisoners one meal a day. Go try sponge some free food and a place to stay off somebody else. Now get on your way before I put a bullet in your head."
Leon started to argue, but the other guard had lifted the rifle to his shoulder and took aim. Leon turned and walked away.
The two guards watched the man get in his car and drive away. "What a loon. That guy must be really stupid."
"Yeah." his friend said. "Only a moron would claim to be a pedophile, looking for three squares and a roof over their head. I don't care how despearate a person is, that's just plain stupid."
"Or suicidal." his buddy said.

Raven put the smoking gun in his pocket and dragged the corpse to a closet. He had just murdered one of Argyros' family friends. Only workin my way up to Argyros, he thought, while cleaning up the mess of blood he had left on the floor. He then ran away into the dark of the night, met by pairs of dark brown eyes looking at him. "What building are they in?" the dark eyed man, Fredrick Helts, said. "That one," Raven muttered, "The one in the hat is Kenny Brutus." They both got into a bush. Fredrick pulled out his gun and pointed it towards the two friends. Then, he focused in on one guy. "It hasn't even been twenty-four hours, and I got Kenny," Raven spat, "But..."
Fredrick took a loud shot that fell right into the mans head, causing him to fall on the floor in agony, blood oozing all over the office. In a second, Fredrick and Raven were gone.

On the Ranch
Maddie looked over at Kristen. The girl had fallen asleep again. It was just the two of them in the house. Everyone else had gone out to see the hideout. Maddie walked into the living room and sat in the recliner. She picked up her bible and began to read.
Matthew 27:62 On the next day, which followed the Day of Preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees gathered together to Pilate, 63 saying, “Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise.’ 64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night[m] and steal Him away, and say to the people, ‘He has risen from the dead.’ So the last deception will be worse than the first.”
65 Pilate said to them, “You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how.” 66 So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and setting the guard.
She was standing looking at a huge stone. The ground shook and the stone was rolled up the hill by a man in a bright white robe. Kristen stepped back as one of the ugly little creatures came flying out of hole that the stone had hidden. It landed and rolled for several feet, screaming in fear.
She heard a shout and turned to see the man in the dingy white robe, his face ashen. "No!" he shouted again. He spun around and ran away disappearing with the ugly little creature.
Kristen saw several men standing about their eyes wide in fear. The seemed to be frozen their fear was so great. Some of them even fell to the ground as if dead.
Kristen looked inside the hole and was surprised to see someone inside. Light filled the small cave and she saw the Man that died on the middle cross sitting there folding a piece of cloth. He lay it down and got up and walked out of the cave. Kristen had instinctively backed out of the Man's way and dropped to her knees. He walked right past her and she peeked up to see that He had holes in His hands. He was wearing a bright white robe, even brighter that the robes of the men in the sky. Kristen did a double take and saw that the sky was filled with the men. She could hear their cheers. "He is risen. Death could not hold Him." they shouted with joy.
Kristen heard someone approaching and turned to see two women. They saw that the stone had been moved from the entrance of the cave and began to wail. Then she stepped back and Kristen saw one of the men in the bright shining robes sitting atop the big stone speaking to her. The women looked into the cave and they stopped crying and threw their arms around each other. The ran off laughing, their joy shining on their faces.
Kristen jerked awake. She heard Maddie softly reading aloud.
Matthew 28
He Is Risen
1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door,[a] and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

Sam and Christina were up early talking and getting to know each other better. The pot of coffee was all but gone so she put on a fresh pot and went back to sit beside Sam. Tom and Steven wandered in and fixed a cup then joined the two. "We are going into to town after breakfast and as soon as Bud gets up," said Steven.
"Bud's been up for over an hour. He was out cleaning his gun and checking ammo. Think he's preparing for today," Sam told them.
"I'm sure he's fired up and ready to go. Guess it's the military training, eh?"
"He sure came in handy the day we were looking at that gun pointed right at our faces," commented Steven.
"I am planning to take Bud with me to St. Louis tomorrow so he can drive the car back while I fly the plane. Steven, do you think that old landing strip is still usable?" Sam asked.
"Yep, think they even put a new surface down a couple of years ago when they were using it to bring in the new crop dusters," answered Steven.
"Great, cause I will need some place to land and hide the plane."
The men looked up to see Linda walk in. "Do you people ever sleep past 5:00? How's anybody suppose to get sleep around here?" she said with a laugh.
Bud walked up behind her and gave her a nudge. "You shouldn't stay up so late talking. I heard you and Christina talking past midnight," he laughed giving her a wink.
"You shouldn't be listening to other people's conversations, you snoop," Linda said giving Bud a nudge back.
"Didn't say I was listening.....just heard your voices....whatcha getting up in arms about?"
Linda burst out with a laugh, "Why were you up, eh?"
"I had a good excuse. I just couldn't fall asleep for thinking about all that has been happening in the last couple of days."
Linda asked Christina to help her get some breakfast for everyone. Shannon and Kerri were the last ones to join the group and they had an announcement for everyone. "We're not sure, but we think Shannon might be pregnant. Know this isn't a very good time, but that's what we think. She wakes up sick and by mid morning she's ok then it happens again at night. Sounds like that's the problem. Any other time this would be great news, but with things uncertain, I don't know," Kerri said with a shrug. Shannon gave him a hug and the women soon surrounded her with hugs and congratulations. She said, "I'm 90% sure I'm pregnant and I know we will have this child with us always, no matter what. It won't be easy having a baby and trying to survive the days a head, but God wants us to have this child or it wouldn't be happening."
"We will all help. You will be fine and God will watch over you and your child. This is a blessing God has given you and we will rejoice in this good news," Sam said.

Teodor was pacing slowly, thinking about what his next move would be. The stirring of unrest over the GFM troubled him, and not knowing its exact location was even worse. He would have to wait for communications to be up before he could...take care of things.
A knock sounded on the door. "Yes?"
"It's Jerome...I have news."
"Enter."
Jerome slowly entered, quietly shutting the door behind him. His eyes were downcast, and he looked very uncomfortable. Teodor could sense Jerome's unease. "Jerome, what is the matter?"
Jerome continued to look at his feet. "I received a police report...involving your friend, Lucas." Jerome paused, slowly raising his eyes up to Teodor's. "He's...well...he-"
"What is it?!" Teodor hissed wildly.
Jolted, Jerome continued. "He's dead Mr. Potentate. He was murdered."
The vein in Teodor's neck was pulsing madly, and his face was turning a darker shade of red. Jerome was shocked with the blackness of the Potentate's eyes, and the fury was evident. Teodor yelled angrily, sweeping all the papers from his desk and pounding his fist into the wall. Teodor's head whipped to face Jerome. "How did this happen? Who did this?!"
Jerome was shaking and trying to remain calm, but the Potentate's demeanor was terrifying. "I..they don't know sir. They suspect it is the work of a skilled killer, one who is part of the rebellion. They believe the assassin is trying to get to you sir."
Teodor flipped his desk chair over. "The rebellion?! Those rebels will be crushed, I tell you!" Teodor took some deep breaths for a few minutes, trying to calm himself down. "I need communications running immediately. Make it our top priority Jerome."
Jerome could still sense the anger simmering, but Teodor was keeping it in check until he could be alone. "Yes Mr. Potentate, I will make sure the necessary people are notified." Jerome shifted uncomfortably. "Is there...is there anything I can do for you sir? Would you..would you like any arrangements made for Lucas?"
Teodor was leaning on his desk. He looked down for a moment, swallowing the lump in his throat. "Yes, please. Have him transported to Greece. We will give him a funeral in his hometown."
"Yes sir. Will that be all?"
Teodor nodded, as if to shoo him out. Jerome left quickly, still afraid of the Potentate's anger. Nobody should ever get in his way, because if anybody does...they wont survive.

It's going on 5 weeks since the rapture shook the earth. Leading upto that Prophetic moment in time... world markets had been shaking on the verge of collapse....along with that... the tension surrounding Israel and her enemies had been boiling to a crescendo ...suicide bombings ...Hamas would bomb...Israel would retaliate...Hezbollah would bomb ...Israel would respond in retaliation...Iran was threatening ...Syria too...more and more threats. The world had been crying for "someone...anyone" be he god or devil....if that person could bring peace, prosperity and safety ..he would be worshipped.
That man has came and brokered a time of peace...7 years. Over the next 3 1/2 years He will work as an angel of Light....his mission...DECEPTION....DESTRUCTION......DAMNATION!
Those who have been awakened through the message of Christ are already aware of who He is and who He works for....but those who don't are "drinking the kool-aid" of Unity at all cost....any message contrary to peace and safety....through unity will be seen as a threat to be silenced. Step one will be education centers.
A global iniative will be brought forth calling for all world citizens to submit to global education. He will work his charm...he will cast his spell but make no mistake ...there will come a time those education centers turn into concentration camps...that in turn will be centers of massacre. The Holocaust a forshadow of His capabilities....our survivors know full well what lies ahead.
Meanwhile....back at Possum Hollow.... The crew all sit watching the news footage
"Last Night in Israel video footage captured a bizarre event as two men dressed as from a different time stood in the midst of the recently energized citizens of Israel and spoke as if they were given a message from another world. Our Camera's were also able to capture a stunning phenomona as the two men spoke....Lightning seemed to flash across the night sky and thunder boomed shaking the ground all across the ancient city. Weather reports confirm that it has been a cloudless night. CNM Meteorology experts and scientist are examing the footage to verify the authenticy of what has taken place."
Video footage plays showing the two men thundering the message "Blow the Trumpet in Zion....Sound the Alarm"
Pastor Tim calls the others anxiously..."everyone..hurry ..hurry ya gotta check this out!".."What is Pastor?" "Just come here..you'll see"...."give me a sec" He turns up the volume on his laptop and hits rewind on the dvr "BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION" the message blares....Tim has goosebumps..chills fall upon them all..."That...they..." "spit it out Tim." ..They are THE TWO WITNESSES!!!!!
"Just listen to that authority..those men have been held for thousands of years and tonight..they have been unleashed....those are our brothers guys...just listen to them!....."I gotta take off my shoes" Jeremiah pronounces ..."Why on earth?" Stacy ask.."I feel like I am standing on Holy Ground just watching this" "They are thousands of miles away..they are from a different time..but those two men have been with God" "WOW"
The crew sits and watches the footage over an over..just hoping to glean their boldness
"We are standing ...on holy ground and I know that there are angels all around...so let us praise JESUS now....we are standing in His presence on Holy Ground"
"That was beautiful Keisha..very appropriate" ...thanks "heard it along time ago"
"Rewind it again Pastor...I gotta hear that again" Jeremiah prods..."I want to do that!!!" "DO WHAT?" Stacy prods again....PREACH....I want to preach like that!"
Jeremiah was the newest arrival to Possum Hollow....He had traveled from Illinois....to his raptured parents farm...just miles down the road from Possum Hollow. He had been Journaling the days since the rapture faithfully ....it hadn't been easy getting to this place

_____________________________________________________________________
Jeremiah had been haunted over and over the weeks leading upto his arrival at Possum Hollow. He had made the long drive home from Illinois with his last conversation with his mother replaying in his thoughts ..over and over. Sure he had gotten on his knees and made his confession of faith ...just hours after "That Night" had taken place...but being left behind after having rejected an altar call by his own mother was almost more than he could bear. Driving down I-44 ...tears had come quick and often as the sobering reality that He could have been where his parents now were...with Jesus had prompted many thoughts of "just end it....drive off this bridge" "drive into that pole" but He was a new creation and Had a new heart and in opposition to those terrible thoughts ...were thoughts of peace and hope..."I can do this ..I must do this....my mom's plea..if she could know I finally listened" Had propelled him home
Finally arriving at the family farm left Jeremiah alone. Searching through the house he came across books and letters and mom's computer..."what's this?" he had thought ...."raptureready.com" "mom's log in automatic...directed Jeremiah to her account" "holy moly mom...were you addicted to this site or what?" over 10,000 post..."prayer request" "prayer for my son" ..Jeremiah found her prayer journal....causing him to smile a brief smile..."I guess I get that from you mom ..huh?"
Jeremiah had read through her journal....startled at the wealth of knowledge and devotion his mother's journal displayed! Jeremiah shut her journal and had thrown his fist into the couch and screamed "WHY?" "WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN?"
After a few days of adjustment...Jeremiah set out on a jog ....out through the country and down the country roads...he passed by an old white country church....and was running by a house when He heard this man singing the strangest song...."Fire on the mountain ..run boys run...devils in the house of the rising... sun"......Dan Wright had again been outside chopping wood and a jogging young man had stumbled across his path....."Sir?" "Howdy" "didn't mean to startle ya?" "ahhh don't worry bout me son....I was just chopping some wood as you can see" Dan takes off his ole John Deere hat..and extends his hand..."My names Dan Wright" "Nice to meet you Dan..I'm Jeremiah" "My parents farm is right up the road...and I was just out for a jog" "I see" "well ..as you can see..I don't jog much myself" "well your chopping wood...that can't be too easy?" "well it doesn't seem to do too much for this here belly? two many biscuits and gravy I reckon" "well say ...you said your parents farm...where do they live again?" "well um they lived" "Oh I'm sorry..I didn't mean to" "NO ..it's alright..they were umm" "raptured?" "YEAH!" "well my wife was too!" .....and that was the beginning of Jeremiah's relationship with his "new family"....Dan had welcomed Jeremiah in and introduced him to the others and over the last few weeks ..Jeremiah has found himself drawn more and more into God's word...drawing upon Tim's knowledge
and now finds himself glued to the tube watching the two witnesses on Tv Thundering God's word....all the while stirring a fire deep inside Jeremiah

Harland and Max walked out of the Missouri State holding station laughing about how they had gotten away with murder and the attempt on the lives of that hick sheriff and his friends. The officers had investigated the shootings at the camp and the charges brought by that dumb sheriff and with all the other things going on in the state they just didn’t have the time or the manpower to track down the rest of the group that were supposed to be in a Nazi training camp. Harland told Max, “Stringer and the rest of the men must have torn down the camp and moved on without us. Now we need to find our little buddy and get even with that idiot sheriff, that whiney girl and the rest of those Bible thumping Christians.” Their hate was strong against anyone that was a Christian, black, or wasn’t in their eyes the strongest and purest race on earth. They found a car, hotwired it and took off for the next county and the town that would soon feel their hate and vengeance. Harland turned to Max and said, “We will show them who is the real god and it isn’t the one they worship or the one they call Jesus. Soon they will know who is superior to all.” His demonic laughter even gave Max the shakes.

Amy came running to Linda and grabbed her by the arm crying, "I can't find Jason anywhere. He was always wandering off and we wouldn't see him for days and he's done it again. Did Tom or Steven say anything about him not being in the room with them last night.....where did he go.....I'm worried about him?
"Calm down....calm down. We'll find Sam and ask him if he's seen Jason."
They walked outside and soon found Sam and Christina coming back from one of the smaller caves they had been exploring. "Sam, have you seen Jason this morning?" asked Linda.
"No, I don't remember seeing him this morning or last night before we all turned in. Sorry, I just didn't think to take a head count. Is there something wrong?"
Amy looked at Sam and told him about her brother's strange disappearances in the past. "He was always kind of mysterious about things and yet....he's always been there for me.....protected me......been.." Amy broke down and Linda put her arm around her and gave her a motherly squeeze.
"Look, Christina and I will walk the grounds and see if we can find him. Steven, Tom, and Bud have gone into town and I will contact them and tell them to be on the lookout for him. Now you try to calm down, we will find him."
Linda walked Amy back inside the cave and washed her face trying to calm her down. After a few minutes Sam and Christina came inside to tell them one of the atv's was missing. He had alerted Steven to the missing boy and atv. "Don't worry, Amy, Steven and the guys will find him. Maybe he just went back to check on your grandmother's place."
Amy still crying told them, "Jason doesn't believe any of the things about the rapture or Jesus being God's son. He doesn't believe there is a God. I don't know why he said that he did. He would get really angry with gramma when she would even suggest he attend church. I think he worships Satan or something and I know he was going to the next county to meet up with some men he met at the gas station one night. He was always making comments about burning the church down,too."
Sam looked at her in shock. "Do you think Jason might be mixed up in something sinister?"
"I don't know a lot, only from some of the things he's said off and on. He kept to himself a lot and then there were the disappearances. I just don't know anything any more." Amy put her head in her hands and cried.
Sam pulled Christina outside and said, "You know he could put all of us in jeopardy. I need to get to town and let Steven know all of this." He walked to his car and turned to Christina giving her a hug. "You know I will be back. We have a lot to do....you and I." He gave her a quick peck on the cheek and headed for town.
"Calm down....calm down. We'll find Sam and ask him if he's seen Jason."
They walked outside and soon found Sam and Christina coming back from one of the smaller caves they had been exploring. "Sam, have you seen Jason this morning?" asked Linda.
"No, I don't remember seeing him this morning or last night before we all turned in. Sorry, I just didn't think to take a head count. Is there something wrong?"
Amy looked at Sam and told him about her brother's strange disappearances in the past. "He was always kind of mysterious about things and yet....he's always been there for me.....protected me......been.." Amy broke down and Linda put her arm around her and gave her a motherly squeeze.
"Look, Christina and I will walk the grounds and see if we can find him. Steven, Tom, and Bud have gone into town and I will contact them and tell them to be on the lookout for him. Now you try to calm down, we will find him."
Linda walked Amy back inside the cave and washed her face trying to calm her down. After a few minutes Sam and Christina came inside to tell them one of the atv's was missing. He had alerted Steven to the missing boy and atv. "Don't worry, Amy, Steven and the guys will find him. Maybe he just went back to check on your grandmother's place."
Amy still crying told them, "Jason doesn't believe any of the things about the rapture or Jesus being God's son. He doesn't believe there is a God. I don't know why he said that he did. He would get really angry with gramma when she would even suggest he attend church. I think he worships Satan or something and I know he was going to the next county to meet up with some men he met at the gas station one night. He was always making comments about burning the church down,too."

On the Ranch
Kristen sat anxiously at the kitchen table. Will and his grandkids had left just a few minutes earlier and Kristen had said her goodbyes rather abruptly. She wanted to talk to everybody, and it seemed that Will would never leave. Kristen knew she had been rude, but she really wanted to talk to the people who had become like family these last few weeks.
Maddie walked into the kitchen and began to fill the sink to wash the breakfast dishes. Kristen got up and helped, and by the time they had put the last dish in the drainer, everyone had gathered at the table for morning Bible study. Maddie sat down and Shade said, "Let's start with a prayer."
Everyone bowed their head and Kristen burst out, "I've been dreaming about Jesus!"
