The reporter ducked when the first hailstone dropped. "What?" she asked, but a resounding crack left her largely unheard. A hailstone had smashed to the ground. The reporter looked up towards the sky with the cameras. "They are firing missiles...but they are not firing anything. They are invading...but hail is hitting them. Surely this is an act of God."

CNM NEWS
IN WHAT IS BEING HAILED AS THE WAR THAT ISN'T ....Israel's army has been virtually silent as continuous footage continues to roll showing missile after missile being blocked in the sky. Just moments ago UN SECRETARY SPOKE BRIEFLY CALLING FOR PEACE and CALM and decrying the onslaught of weapons being fired upon Israel. Yet there has yet to be a single confirmed death of one Israeli at this time. However casualties are mounting by the hundreds and thousands as the Russian-Iranian Coalition has seemingly lost all equalibrium and began killing each other with an enormous amount of friendly fire casualties.
Still no word from any military analyst on what has brought upon this strange phenomona but what is most apparent is that Israeli forces are being aided by something of unknown origins.
Live from Jerusalem CNM correspondents are reporting that people have gathered in the streets shouting praises of victory despite the still nearby threat of great military strength. But one things for certain...Israel at this point seems to be surrounded by enemies yet untouchable ..this is truly a remarkable occurence. Stay tuned as we detail the mounting casualties and survey the damage being wrought by a clearly outside source"

The world had gone mad. Life as we knew it was no longer and when Sam thought about it, the world was changing right before his eyes and he was too blind to see it. During the last election everyone was caught up with a man who promised change, but no one understood the change he would bring. The country was on the verge of collapse when God raptured His bride. Freedom was just a distant memory and the new leader had taken us down the path of socialism and less freedom. It was amazing my dad was able to keep his guns when the government was busy taking that right from every citizen with their new restrictions and steep taxes for having the priviledge. Priviledge, they were disappearing as fast as the new president could sign another executive piece of garbage. The world was cutting God out of everything and the ones leading our once great nation were defying God at every step. We opened ourselves up to Satan and showed him how easily we could be deceived. Worse than anything, we showed God we no longer held Him to be the Supreme Power and we didn't support Israel as we had done from the beginning when they became a state. We opened the door to our destruction and God removed His hand of protection. We broke our covenent with Him. He never left us as He promised, we as a nation left Him. Christians were standing up to the change, but more sat in silence while this great nation crumbled before their eyes. We should have done something sooner, but God had a plan and it was to bring His church home to be with Him. I was so blind that I did not see. Sam started humming Amazing Grace and his heart was burdened with the loss of the country he loved and all that it had once stood for. The many who had lost their lives because they could not see the truth that Jesus had brought to this earth. They would know one day exactly who was in control.

Recap: Weeks have passed since launching missiles at Damascus. Onboard one man is missing, the captain just read a message about millions more missing and he wants answers.
Ben looked at his Captain as he sat on the floor reading letters. “Sir, you wanted me”
Daniel read a few more lines then looked up at his friend. The somewhat blank look was brief then it went back to reading and finishing the letter in his hand. Ben sat down and watched as Daniel read then shock his head.
“What would you say if I could tell you the future of Israel and the rest of the world?” Daniel asked standing up than walking to his desk.
“I would say you could retire to a life with lots of money.”
“Are you sure, don’t you think people would laugh at you and call you nuts even though everything you have said came true?”
“If you told me something a head of time and it came true more then once I would take notice and would probably believe you. Why you got a hot tip and the world?
Daniel handed Ben one of the letters he had. In the letter it talked about Israel bombing Damascus as well as the Rapture. “First read and tell me the date of the letter and the stamp on the envelope.”
Ben looked at both then answered “December 14, 2007. That was over a year ago”
“Now read the letter and tell me what you think?”
Ben read the letter pausing only to re-read places that seamed a bit strange. “Wow, this is some weird stuff, surely she was guessing at the bombing, heck we didn’t know and I doubt the General staff even knew over a year ago.”
“Keep reading to the end then we will talk.” Daniel replied watching his friends eyes get wide and his head started to shake back and forth.
“No way, this couldn’t happen. Wait I heard about how the Christian people think this will happen. No way I say. They have been saying this for years long before we were even born. Why do you bring this up? You don’t think that is what happen to Stein do you?”
“You have read the letter and you have seen the date it was written and the date it arrived onboard this ship, correct?”
“Yes sir but…”
“Now read this top secret message we just received with the last incoming traffic.”
Ben started reading the message which talked about all the missing people throughout the world. When he was done all he could say was “wow, I don’t believe it, I can’t believe it”
“I feel the same way but the facts are adding up. One of the letters talk about a website called something ready? I have a signal and am ready to open up that web page but I wanted a witness here with me. Someone I could trust until I figure out what to say and do.”
“Well get it open because I am puzzled now.”
Daniel hit some keys and waited for the signal to run the course from his computer to an antenna up to a satellite to the provider and back again. Three seconds later a message flashed on the screen saying that the site was overwhelmed with hits and to try back later.
“Later my butt, let me try something” Ben said as he took control of the keyboard and started tapping on the keys as fast as he could. Daniel was amazed at the speed his friend had so he just sat and watched.
“Don’t tell anyone my passwords or I will have to hurt you sir” Ben said then laughed
Ben was typing so fast Daniel couldn’t tell what a password was and what was a fat finger mistake. Thirty seconds later the site popped up.
“Do you want to play a game?” Ben asked in a computer voice.
“No” Daniel replied having not a clue what Ben was talking about.
Both men read but Daniel being a faster reader kept trying to click the next page before Ben was finished.
“Sir, hit the print button and I’ll read the hard copy at my pace.”
Daniel laughed then said he would wait. Four hours later they were still reading but now with their mouths wide open and a lot of wow and “No that can’t be true”

The sun was just starting to set as the buses turned off onto the dirt road leading to the compound entrance. Abby, Sarah, and Emily turned off behind the last bus. "I feel like I'm coming home." Emily spoke with excitement in her voice. "Me too." said Sarah. Abby continued to look out the window at the tall pine trees lining the sides of the dirt road as they drove on. Happy laid his head on her lap and dozed off. Suddenely his head jerked up and he peered through the glass of the SUV tail wagging. Jumping up on the seat next to Abby he started barking excitedly. Try as she might, Abby couldnt get him to stop. Her mouth dropped open in shock as she looked to see what Happy was so excited about. The buses had stopped and the gate was opening. The angels of protection were encamped all around and the ones at the gate smiled down on their little caravan as they drove through, directed by David and Terry. Abby couldnt believe she was truly seeing a miracle from God. The compound would be their safe haven for however long needed. David and Terry hitched a ride with the first bus and directed Daniel to the garages to park the buses. Emily pulled in behind Kevins bus and the girls got out. Happy still couldnt contain his excitement as he jumped out and ran back the way they had come, bounding through the field headed toward the angels. To Abby it looked like he was greeting long lost friends as 3 of the angels bent down to pat Happy and welcome him. The angels then pointed towards Abby and sent him on his way back to her. He licked her hand as if to say thanks for bringing me here.

An excited woman ran up to the Heather, waving around a Jewish Bible, "Look, Look!" she screamed in english, "This is a fulfillment of prophecy! The Gog/Magog war! Ezekiel 38-39! Our God..." Her singing was halted when security guards carried her away. Heather just closed her eyes and said a soft, silent prayer. "I'm sorry, everybody," she said to the camera, "It's a weird broadcast, but, look at this! There must be a God."

On the Ranch
Kristen lay on her bed her mind going a mile a minute. She had listened to Tori read those passages from Ezekiel and watched tv and seen everything in the Bible happen. She had been shocked when Tori explained that Ezekiel had written those passages more than 3000 years ago.
How could a man who had lived so long ago have written about the future and been so acurate?
Kristen turned her head and looked at Grumpy. As if sensing Kristen was looking at him he opened his eyes and lifted his head and gave her a doggy grin. He then snuggled closer to Kristen and she wrapped her arms around him.
"Oh Grumpy. I'm so confused. Tori says that God told Ezekiel to write down everything that is happening right now." She let out a huge sigh. "If God knew what was going to happen, I mean if He told that guy Ezekiel to write it down, then does that mean He knew what would happen to me? Did He know that Mikey and his friends would abuse and hurt me?"
Grumpy snuggled even closer, as if he could sense she was getting closer to what was consuming her mind.
"You know that Trevor told Leon about Jesus, and He would forgive him for what he had done to me of he would ask Him to. I don't understand!" Kristen cried, burying her head in Grumpys fur.
Grumpy gave a whine.
"Why would Jesus forgive him?!! Why didn't God help me? Why didn't he stop Mikey and his friends? Why??!!" Kristen began to cry in earnest. She cried until her stomach began to ache. Visions of what she had endured running through her mind. She jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom and began to vomit. She lay on the bathroom floor her stomach aching.She finally got up and went back to her room. She threw herself across her bed and cried herself to sleep.
She saw a Man being beaten. With every lash of the whip, His body would flinch, but He never made a sound. The men whipping Him were laughing and making jokes. They spat on the Man, and cursed at Him. They called Him vile names, and kicked Him. The Man lay beaten and bloody on the ground when the men exchanged their whips for what looked to her to be another kind of whip. This one had several strings with pieces of broken glass and jagged metal attached to the ends. Kristen gasped as she saw on of the men rear back with his arm and bring this new instrument of torture down across the Mans back. The cruelty on the faces of men delivering the beating was so familiar to Kristen that she knew the beating would go on for hours. Her heart ached for the Man and she stepped forward to shout at them to stop.
Kristen's eyes flew open. Her heart was pounding with fear, and she was covered with sweat. There was something about the Man in her dream. It had seemed so real. Who was He? She knew deep in her heart the Man had done nothing to deserve that punishment.

On the Ranch
Maddie stepped into Kristens room and saw her sitting on the side of her bed. "Kristen?" Maddie saw the girl was trembling, and she hurried across the room and knelt down on the floor in front of the girl. Kristen lifted her head, and Maddie saw the torment in her eyes. "Kristen, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"
Kristen only shook her head.
Maddie looked at Grumpy and wished in that moment that the dog could talk.
Grumpy whined and bumped his head against Kristen's shoulder, and with a sob Kristen threw her arms around the dogs neck.
Maddie continued to kneel on the floor, her heart aching, and tears rolling down her face. She had never heard crying like this before. It was as if the tears Kristen shed came from her very soul. 'Lord, whatever is pressing on this childs mind, please comfort her. I know that You can heal the scars on her soul. Please Father, I'm begging You, help this poor child.' Maddie prayed silently.
After several minutes Kristen went limp, and fell sideways on the bed. Maddie let out a cry of alarm, and reached out to check her pulse. It beat steady and strong. Maddie gently moved Kristen's legs onto the bed and covered her with a blanket. She stood looking at Kristen and heard the soft sniffling noises that she made. Even in her sleep the girl continued to cry. Maddie reached out and brushed the hair back from Kristen's forehead and noticed anew the scars that marred the young girls face. She looked over to see Shade standing in the doorway. He opened his arms and Maddie walked into them.
