THE END OF DAYS

CHAPTER 10 (THE GOVERNMENT)

The reporter was seriously reporting a new development, which was the fact that most Presidents were giving Potentate Lucius access to all of their countries secret matters except for the President of the United State of America.

What made it more authentic was that the Potentate didn’t even ask for those privileges. Tons of Presidents were commenting that they perceive he is the only one worthy of bringing lasting peace to the world and so they all saw a need to surrender the important systems of their countries.

It was also said that some Presidents were urging the President of the United State to surrender his Air force 1 plane to the Potentate but he was adamant.

The Airforce 1signifies the strength of the President of America. Giving out the Airforce 1 automatically meant he gas given his power to the Potentate and that was what he wouldn’t do.

“Manan, don’t you find this news fishy?” My dad asked

“Nop, I don’t. What is fishy about it?”

“Why would the leaders just surrender their powerful advantage to that man just like that?”

“As we’ve heard dad, they believe he is the only one that can bring lasting peace to the world. Isn’t that enough reason?”

“Hmmm… I once came across something related to this issue. Something called a One World Community”

“What is that?”

“I don’t understand it fully but it sounds like the world being under one leader and also using one currency after the rapture”

“That sounds weird. The world cannot be ruled by just one person and it is impossible to use one currency all over the world”

“You can never rule out anything. I have to see the Pastor tomorrow, would you accompany me?”

“I don’t think so. I have to go check someone tomorrow”

Mr. Albert was in the office and was also watching the news. He could sense that the Potentate was definitely the figure of the Antichrist without any doubt.

The Potentate is gradually becoming popular and powerful and it was just a matter of time before he gain access to everyone and everything bit before then, Mr. Albert knew that he must set up the Tribulation Saint Group he felt in his heart to organize.

It was evening and the time for service was getting closer. My dad began to get ready for the service while I got ready to go check Abel. I’d been trying to reach him via phone call but it wasn’t connecting and I just hope he is ok.

“Please be careful out there and in case of anything, don’t forget to call me”

“I will dad”

And so, I went out and had to walk a farther distance because there was no vehicle and even if you find one, the drivers tend to charge a lot.

While I was walking, I kept trying to call him but it still wasn’t connecting and so, I kept walking.

Suddenly, a cab stopped close to me and the driver asked me to enter but I refused seeing that he was too kind even when we were both strangers to each other.

He kept asking me to come in so that he could take me to where I was going to.

“I can’t afford your charges” I told him

“Oh! No need your father had paid for you already”

“My father? How?”

“Well, he stopped me and gave me your description after telling me the route you will take”

“Wow!”

And so I entered. He dropped me at Abel’s house and the door was open. I quickly rushed inside and thank God I saw him.

He was looking dejected, frustrated and lean.

“Hey, what’s up?”

He didn’t answer.

I rushed to hug him but he was not responding as usual.

“Abel, what is wrong?”

“Everything is wrong Manan, everything”

“Talk to me about it please”

“Are you kidding me? Are you oblivious to the current situation of the world right now?”

“Oh! About that? So what is it?”

“Well, I just fucking missed the rapture! I was warned about it but I didn’t listen”

I laughed but he didn’t even look at me.

“Wait, don’t tell me you also believe in that fairytale?”

“Why won’t I believe in it? The Bible spoke about it and I knew about it all these while”

“Well, my father seems to believe in it too but I don’t”

He looked at me quickly.

“I guess none of your family members disappeared”

“Well, my mother and kid sister had disappeared”

“Shouldn’t that be enough reason for you to believe?”

“Nop, it isn’t! The excuse is lame to me. I prefer to believe the story of the aliens. That makes a lot of sense to me”

“Wow! You are unbelievable”

I tried touching him but he moved away from me. I tried again and the same thing happened.

“What is it Abel?”

“I am now a born again Christian. In other words, I can’t do what made me missed the rapture any more”

“Wooo… So you mean I was the one that made you not to disappear? You should be happy that you didn’t disappear, that the aliens didn’t take you away”

“How do I explain this to thing to you now?”

“No need to explain anything”

I got up and was leaving.

“Manan” he called out and then I stopped

“Please I beg you, repent of all your wrong doings and take off that alien story from your head. Please go back and take your Bible, study it and if you are still not convinced, then do as you wish and also, don’t forget to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you”

I hissed and banged the door behind me.
