Below is the first 28 pages of the 137 page book, mostly it’s the setup for the shit-show that is to come. This is not pretty as we juxtapose Jesus meting out Judgment with the antics of the Anointed One: Donald J. Trump. It is the Second Coming and *all* sinners will reap their just reward! This is parody, not prophecy. It is satire: biting, dark, hopefully humorous but also educational with over 100 actual Bible quotes. Some will shock you. After you read the excerpt you can buy the book on Amazon. Please read (to the end) review and recommend to your friends. Thanks!

An Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon

Every night the Pan-STARRS telescope in the Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, scanned the skies for interstellar objects. It was midnight; the analyst rubbed her eyes as she spotted an unusual object in the upper atmosphere. She adjusted the dials slightly and looked again through the eyepiece.

“Huh, that just doesn’t look right,” astronomer Tiffany Goodfeather noted to her director, Gerry Harp. “I’m picking up an object just inside the earth’s atmosphere.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not sure. It’s just a speck but it appears to be a small asteroid.”

***

Lieutenant Elijah Benton bolted from his seat as his monitor flashed and beeped from his command station at NORAD. He called over to his supervisor.

“Hey, we’ve picked up an Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) moving into the Earth’s atmosphere.”

“What does it look like?”

“I can’t tell. It’s small, no bigger than a bus. It has a very strange movement signature—never seen anything like it before. It’s probably an asteroid; whatever it is, it’s definitely heading toward Earth.”

“Scramble the jets. It could be the Russians with a new spy plane.”

“Yes sir.”

“What’s it doing now?”

“It…seems to be slowing down.”

“And contact the president.”

“Biden?” he asked.

“Of course! Who else? Ugh! Don’t get me started!”

He gave him the side-eye and shook his head.

“Yes sir. Right away, sir.”

“We need to be on our guard. Contact Karen Meech at the Institute for Astronomy.”

A large wedding party was in progress in the White and Gold Ballroom at the Mar-a-Lago Resort, Florida. Former President Donald J. Trump walked slowly up to the microphone. Everyone clapped quietly.

Trump tapped on the microphone. “Hey, is this thing even working? I guess it’s a Democrat mic, huh?” He looked around the room waiting for a response. Nothing but crickets.

“I hope you’re enjoying the wedding. I like weddings so much—I had three of them.”

The drummer hit a rim shot.

“Okay, that may not have been necessary, but, as my supporters, you know how bad things are. We’ve got the deadly Chyna Virus, illegal Mexicans are storming our borders, inflation is rampant, and the socialist, communist, liberals want to shut down the economy and ruin all our nice businesses—like this one, a very good property, very profitable, Mar-a-Lago. Some call it the Southern White House but what I do know is it has made me very rich; very, very rich.”

Twittering and nervous laughter was heard from the wedding party.

“What a beautiful wedding party! Only the best for the best—my supporters. And you all came here tonight. Did you know they stole the election from me! It was rigged. And the lamestream media! Don’t get me started! Well, we will have some great news soon. My buddy, Mike Lindell, is all over it. It will be like nothing you’ve ever seen before!”

An awkward pause.

“And don’t forget the chocolate cake. It’s fantastic!”

Another pause. Trump droned on in a monotone.

“Did I say I was rich? When I was in New York I went to all the best parties with all the best people and everyone really liked me…”

Whispers were heard from around the room as the guests grew impatient.

Davis, West Virginia was on top of a mountain (elevation 3,100 feet) and home to Jack and his wife, Colleen. Jack was a kook to many in this small town and the owner of the largest amateur telescope in the state. The beast was a homemade, 16-inch F4.5, fork-mounted Newtonian reflector; you could buy a good used car for what it cost him. He was up all night watching the stars as they circumnavigated the North Star. It was nearly dusk and his wife, Colleen, an early riser, had just woken up and made their morning coffee.

“Hey, Colleen, git’ over here, I must be seeing things; what do you see?” asked Jack. She walked out the screen door, that always needed repairing, gave Jack his cup of coffee, and peered into the telescope eyepiece.

“I don’t see anything,” replied Colleen. She looked again into the eyepiece. “You’ve been out here all night, agin’?”

“Yeah, the sky is just so clear and beautiful. I’m always in such awe of God’s creation. Just look again, to the upper right; you’ll see it moving.”

“Oh, yes, I see it. It’s shiny.”

“Colleen! Look closer. Here, I’ll zoom in a bit. Something’s moving on it.”

“Moving? Did you git’ yourself another bad batch of that-thar’ moonshine? Remember what happened last time? You spent the entire night talking to the dawg.”

“And he talked back, too. But you know I haven’t touched the stuff since I’ve found Jesus.”

She looked again.

“Jack…what are those?”

“It looks like some sort of…chariot…driven by flying…”

“Horses?”

They looked at each other, too stunned to speak.

“Can’t be,” they said in unison. He looked into the eyepiece again.

“Should we tell the twins, Joshua and Caleb?” she asked.

“No, they’re still asleep. I’m gonna keep watching it and see what it does. Why don’t you go git our Bible? It might be a good time to pray.”

The Spitzer Science Center (SSC), at the California Institute of Technology’s Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) in Pasadena, California submitted the following press release:

“We wish to confirm that a UAP is approaching just inside Earth’s atmosphere. While it is heading somewhere near the US Eastern Seaboard, there is little chance of damage, as the object is small and should burn up in our atmosphere. There is no cause for alarm.”

Russian and Chinese military intelligence also picked up the strange object as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere.

***

The CNN studio in Atlanta, Georgia, buzzed with activity.

“Wolf Blitzer, here at CNN, and we have just received information and it is confirmed that a UAP, formerly known as a UFO, has just entered the atmosphere somewhere over North America. A spokesman from the White House just announced that President Biden is aware of the situation, as is the US military. Our sources state that there is currently, ‘no cause for alarm.’ We have astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson here on video from New York City. Dr. Tyson, should we be concerned?”

“Most asteroids end up in the ocean but it could be a problem if it fell near a major metropolitan area, like New York City. If it does burn up in the atmosphere, depending on its altitude and speed, there may be a sonic boom, like the one that was both felt and heard when an asteroid lit up the sky over Russia on February 15, 2013.”

“Therefore if it does fall near land you might want to stay away from any windows?” asked Wolf.

“Yes, that’s one good piece of advice,” said Neil.

“From what I’ve heard, it does have a very unusual flight path; it’s not falling–it’s gliding.”

“Hmm, that certainly seems strange,” remarked Neil.

“On the line is astrobiologist Karen J. Meech, who on October 19, 2017, spotted the mysterious asteroid from another solar system named, ‘Oumuamua,’ which means ‘messenger’ in Hawaiian. Does this object share any of the same characteristics of Oumuamua?”

“While I cannot go into details, this object is nothing like Oumuama, which was a torpedo-shaped asteroid,” explained Karen.

“What does that mean, you cannot divulge details? Is someone requesting that you not discuss this?” asked Wolf.

“That’s really all I can say. I would spend your day as you normally would. There is no cause for alarm.”

“We also have Harvard astrophysicist, Avi Loeb on the line. Could this be a craft of some sort, of alien life?”

“Yes, that’s definitely a possibility. There appears to be very unusual movement and the flight pattern…” said Avi before his audio feed was interrupted mid-sentence.

“Hello? Hello? Dr. Loeb, are you there?” asked Wolf. “It appears that our feed has been disconnected. Well, this certainly is a mystery. CNN is monitoring this situation and we will report to you immediately as we receive more information.”

***

The Fox News channel broadcasted primarily from their studio at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York City. The “Fox and Friends” show had just started when the news hit the airwaves.

“Steve Doocy with Fox News in downtown Manhattan and we have breaking news. A UAP has been spotted just entering our atmosphere and our sources tell us that, ‘it’s acting suspiciously.’ ”

“What does that mean?” asked co-host Brian Kilmeade.

“It’s just another example of the Biden administration hiding information from the American people. No wonder no one wants to take the vaccine. They just don’t trust Biden,” replied Ainsley Earhardt.

“Is it some type of Russian spy plane?” asked Brian.

“We’ve got Sean Hannity on the line. What do you know, Sean?”

“I’ve been in contact with my President, Donald J. Trump, at the Southern White House. He has convened his cabinet…”

“Uh, I mean, you do know that Trump is no longer President, right?” Steve asked sheepishly.

“And that is exactly what the lamestream media wants you to believe. I just spoke to attorney Lin Wood, and he assures me that the military will listen to President Trump if Biden doesn’t act responsibly. Joe Biden only appears to be the president. All patriots know that the election was stolen and that Donald J. Trump is the rightful President…”

“Excuse me…it’s just been confirmed that NORAD has been alerted and has already scrambled interceptor jets to confirm exactly what this thing is,” interjected Ainsley.

“Ainsley, I’ll bet you a hundred dollars it’s a promotion for some Hollywood movie,” challenged Brian.

“It’s a pretty elaborate, and a potentially dangerous, promotion, wouldn’t you say, if NORAD is involved and scrambling jets?” asked Steve.

“It could be China,” surmised Ainsley.

“It could just be ‘space junk.’ There’s a ton of it orbiting the earth,” explained Steve. “We’ll be monitoring the situation here at Fox News, where the news is always fair and balanced.”

“I would put my money on Chyna,” added Shaun. “It is so sad that we have a feckless, socialist, liberal in the White House when we could have had a decisive president like Donald Trump. His experience, his intellect, his courage in the face of adversity is what our nation needs today. He just told me, that if he was president, he would shoot the damn thing out of the sky. That’s the kind of leadership we need now.”

***

The U-2 high-altitude jet followed the unidentified object as it skated through the troposphere 33,000 feet above sea level. At Air Force Space Command, Lieutenant John Sparks called over to his supervisor, Bobbie “Mad-Dog” Paul.

“Sir, our pilot has a visual on the UAP.”

“And?”

“He says, ‘it’s kind of blurry and he’s not sure how to describe it.’”

“What does the damn thing look like?”

“His reply is, ‘It appears to be a chariot with four, giant, winged horses.’ ”

“Come again?”

“It’s a chariot…flying…through the air…driven by horses–with wings. I don’t know what else to say.”

“How many hours have you been working?”

“Too many, it appears,” as he listened intently making certain he heard the pilot correctly. “Wait, I’m getting more,” said the analyst. He paused briefly, not quite believing his ears. “He says it’s a ‘golden‘ chariot.”

“I think he’s suffering from oxygen deprivation and hallucinating. Tell him to return to base. Get him down immediately!”

“And I think I just heard the pilot say, ‘praise Jesus!’ ”

The buzz from Air Command intensified as the rumor spread.

“Get President Biden on the phone!” commanded the supervisor.

***

Back at Fox News, the studio was a madhouse of activity and confusion.

“We are receiving reports that an object, barely visible with binoculars, is now in the sky above New England,” said Steve Doocy. “In a related report, we’ve confirmed that Harvard astrophysicist, Avi Loeb, is under ‘house arrest.’ We’re not sure what the charges are but he’s known for his theory that extraterrestrial life may be sending probes to our planet.”

“Ainsley, do you think they may be connected?” asked Brian.

“They must be. Look at the monitor!”

The object was still miles above the earth but a tiny, shiny object was visible on the screen.

“Could this be a spacecraft of some sort?” asked Steve to no one in particular.

“It appears to be…yes, we have confirmation that the trajectory of the object is New York City!” exclaimed Ainsley.

“Should we evacuate?” asked Brian.

“Not yet. They say that it’s not accelerating but decelerating, gliding in fact. The word is to ‘stay put and see what happens,’ ” said Ainsley. “I’m hearing rumors from the control room that they no longer think it’s an asteroid!”

“We now have a better image of the object,” said Brian.

The video feed of the strange object now appeared on the giant LCD Screen in Times Square. The screen stood eight stories tall, was nearly as long as a football field and spanned the entire block from 45th Street to 46th Street on Broadway—the center of Times Square. Thousands of New Yorkers, normally oblivious to their surroundings, stopped and gawked at the large screen.

“There, it’s moving!” exclaimed Ainsley as she pointed to the object on the screen. At first, it was nothing but a blur, but the image sharpened as the camera zoomed in.

“What is that?” asked Ainsley.

“That is definitely not an asteroid,” said Steve.

“It almost looks like some sort of…chariot,” said Brian.

“Oh my God! It is!” exclaimed Steve.

“What are those?” asked Brian.

“Are those…horses?” asked Ainsley incredulously.

“Impossible!” exclaimed Brian.

“With wings?!” asked Steve, not believing his eyes.

“Maybe the movement is making us see things that aren’t there,” cautioned Brian.

“Brian, all I’ve got to say is that if this is a movie promotion then I’m definitely going to see it. These are the best special effects I’ve ever seen,” said Steve.

“The question is, ‘how are they doing it?’ ”

“Perhaps this is a movie and the production company forgot to notify the proper authorities. That has happened before,” explained Steve.

“Disney has the resources to pull off a cinematic stunt as big as this,” said Brian.

“Fox News is confirming that the UAP or ‘chariot’ as some are calling it, is heading toward Manhattan,” said Ainsley.

“We will be sending a television crew as soon as we determine its eventual location,” added Steve.

“If it lands. If it’s an alien spacecraft it may just hover over the city,” said Brian.

“Do you think the Air Force will shoot it out of the sky, Brian?” asked Ainsley.

“Not this snowflake administration,” said Brian.

“Our research team has just spoken with Bob Chapek, CEO of Walt Disney Company, and his statement is that ‘Disney is not responsible for the object in the sky over New York City,’ ” said Steve.

“I was kinda hoping that he would’ve said, ‘hey gotcha! world premiere!’ But if it’s not Disney who could be responsible for this?” asked Brian. They stared at the monitors closely.

“Is it me or does that chariot shine like gold?” asked Steve.

“Wow! It does!” exclaimed Brian. “What could that mean?”

“Brian, it’s a golden chariot, driven by horses, with wings. What exactly do you think it means?” asked Ainsley.

“I have no idea,” said Brian.

“It’s Jesus! It’s Jesus, Praise Jesus, Hallelujah! This is it–the Rapture! This is the Second Coming!” shouted Ainsley.

Ainsley stood up and waved her hands in praise. Tears of joy ran down her face. Brian and Steve tried to calm her down. The cameras pan away as everyone regained their composure. They returned to the couch and Steve and Brian tried to appear cool and relaxed.

“We want to repeat that there is no confirmation of exactly what we are seeing at the moment,” noted Steve.

“As a born-again Christian, all I can say is, ‘I’m ready Lord; take me!’ “ exclaimed Ainsley as she opened her arms and closed her eyes.

“Frankly I would not get too excited yet. Remember, Harold Camping predicted the ‘End of the World’ on May 21, 2011,” noted Steve.

“And his followers sold all their possessions,” added Brian.

“You know what happened? Nothing. That’s what happened,” said Steve.

“There has to be some rational explanation for this. It’s just too unbelievable,” said Brian.

“Don’t be so certain,” replied Ainsley.

***

“Wolf Blitzer, with CNN here and we have on the line, Bill Maher, best known for his militant atheism and his 2008 documentary movie, Religulous. Bill, as the image of the UAP sharpens everyone is saying it looks like a golden chariot driven by four, winged horses. I guess you may not be feeling too religulous today, eh?” asked Wolf.

“Can you believe it? A golden chariot? And I thought our biggest worry was a golden shower!” Bill noted as he laughed at his own joke. “If this turns out to be a hallucination, I may have to stop smoking weed.”

“Really?”

“Nah, probably not. Hell, if it’s the end of the world, who fucking cares, right?”

“Language! We’re live Bill,” exclaimed Wolf.

“Yeah, but not for long, huh?”

“And, might I say, I really do like the glasses. They make you look sophisticated.”

“Yeah, right, that’s exactly what I need right now. I think the word you’re looking for is old.”

“As a noted atheist, what do you have to say about the prospect that this is Jesus Christ returning for The Second Coming?”

“If the choices are coming…or going…I think I’d rather be coming.”

“Bill!” exhorted Wolf with a laugh. “This is a family show.”

“And a second coming is even better!”

“Good for you Bill, funny ‘til the very end.”

“Hey, I’m still here, dammit! Plus, seriously, it’s got to be a hoax or some promotion. Winged horses? Are you kidding me? What a cliché! Not even clever! He could have at least been more creative, showing up as a woman or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Who knows, maybe Trump is behind the entire production to show how easy it is for ‘illegal aliens’ to get into the country.”

“You really believe that?”

“Well, no, I don’t think he’s smart enough for a stunt like this…but Putin certainly is! There you go; it’s the Russians!”

“Of course they’re saying it’s a gold chariot and we know how much the former President likes gold.”

“Oh great, now Twitter will light up about how Jesus is returning to reinstate Trump as President. This day could not get any worse.”

“We certainly appreciate your time, Bill.”

“Jake Tapper here and in our studio we have contributor, Fareed Zakaria, born in Mumbai, India, and the son of a prominent Muslim scholar. What do you have to say about this? After all, Muslims don’t believe Jesus is God.”

“Yes, it’s correct that I lived in a Muslim household. Personally, I’ve simply never been defined by my religious identity.”

“But you were raised a Muslim.”

“In the Muslim tradition, Jesus returns and dwells on Earth for seven years. In Islam, Jesus is understood to be the penultimate prophet and messenger of God (Allah). Jesus is a major figure in the Koran, mentioned nearly 200 times. Muslims do not fear the return of Jesus Christ. Islamic eschatology is that Jesus will return to fight the Antichrist and his followers but near Damascus, Syria, not New York City.”

“If John 14:6 is correct, what do you think that means for Muslims–today?”

I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

–John 14:6

“Yes, it is correct that Muslims don’t think Jesus is God, divine, or the Son of God. I would find it inconceivable that a deity would condemn an entire faith to damnation, based on such a technicality. Most remain in the religion of their birth. It would therefore be Damnation by Probability*. All I will say is that if He is really the Messiah of the New Testament, then this day will be unlike any other.”

“And of that, there’s no doubt.”

*Shameless Plug: Damnation by Probability

“Wolf Blitzer here, and CNN has contacted illusionist David Blaine, and he confirms that he’s not, we repeat not responsible for what we are seeing. David what do you think?”

“All I can say is that I don’t know who’s behind this, but it’s fucking awesome! Outstanding work!”

“We’re live, so please…language.”

“Sorry, I’m just totally stoked! Did you see it? I have no idea how it’s being done. The horses are so realistic.”

“You don’t think it’s real?”

“That Jesus has returned to Earth?”

“Yes, on a golden chariot.”

“No, I don’t. That’s absurd. Remember, I make my living performing illusions. Have you checked with David Copperfield? He’s been out of the limelight lately. This is just the kind of elaborate production he loves. If anyone can pull it off, it’s David.”

“What a glorious day it is here at The 700 Club in sunny Virginia Beach, Virginia,” said Pat Robertson, proudly. “Also, in the studio with me today is Tamara Lowe, author of the book, Get Motivated. Everything we’ve been preaching for decades is finally coming true! Praise Jesus. Praise God. Praise the Holy Spirit.”

“Praise our Savior!” exclaimed Tamara.

“Abortion, homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, stealing the election from Donald J. Trump, and liberal ideology are to blame for the return of Christ. Man’s sinfulness has caused this. The Second Coming of Christ is upon us and all will be judged.”

“Jesus is Lord!” exclaimed Tamara.

“Please make your donation now so that our Supreme Creator knows just how much you love Him. The 800-number is on the bottom of the screen below.”

“True, Pat, and they won’t be needing money after today, anyway, right?”

“What do you mean?” asked Pat.

“This is it. We’re all going to heaven. Who cares about donations?” asked Tamara.

“We care! We definitely care. Look, as it clearly states in the Bible, ‘God loves a cheerful giver,’ and, as everyone can see on their television, today is not a good day to deny what belongs to The Almighty.”

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.  Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

–Corinthians 9:6-7 ESV

Judgment Day: Times Square, New York

At CNN, Wolf Blitzer joined Jake Tapper at the news desk.

“Wolf here and we have on the monitors, live, what appears to be a man, in a flowing, white robe, driving a golden chariot, driven by four, large, white-winged horses just over the Manhattan skyline.”

“Just to interject here,” said Jake. “The word is that over three and a half billion people, a record, are now watching the arrival of a man, who many say is Jesus Christ, and may soon be landing in Manhattan. That beats the 2.5 billion who watched the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997, and the one billion people who watched the semi-final match between India and Pakistan at the 2011 cricket World Cup.”

“We just heard from Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and her statement is:

This appears to be more ‘fake news’ from the lamestream media. Those responsible will be held accountable and the real President, Donald J. Trump is working to get to the bottom of this. But if it is Jesus, then I’m certain this is the Rapture and that the faithful will rise to heaven and all the godless, socialist Democrats will be left behind.”

“When asked if this could be an alien from outer space, she replied, ‘if it is then it just confirms our need for a border wall to keep out illegal aliens.’

We also have a press release from PETA:”

Winged-horses should be considered a protected species and under no circumstances should they be mistreated or “shot out of the sky” as some are suggesting.

Alex Jones, radio host, paced back and forth in his studio in Austin, Texas.

“Alex Jones, live, and we have with us in the studio today, Owen Shroyer. Is this a crazy day or what? Do you believe it? That Jesus Christ, Mighty God, has returned to Earth in a goldenchariot?! Has he returned to anoint Trump as our leader, our ruler, as President of the fucking United States!? As a practicing Christian with my own ideas against organized religion, I’m both skeptical and hopeful.”

“What do you mean?” asked Owen.

“This is most likely a hoax. Pelosi is behind it, Soros is funding it, and the Hollywood Elite could pull off a complex production like this–just like Sandy Hook. It just looks fake. He’s probably some unemployed actor, and the horses are animatronics or something new we’ve never seen before. What better way to promote a new movie, huh? It’s impossible to know what’s real and what’s not.”

“My money is that the Clinton Foundation is behind it,” said Owen.

“Exactly! Does anyone believe that a chariot, made of gold, fucking gold, do you hear me, could actually fly?” Jones asked as he sat down. “It must weigh fifty-tons for Christ’s sake! Is everybody crazy or am I the only sane person on this planet!?”

“Trump did say, ‘to not trust what you see or what you hear,’ right?” asked Owen.

“And you shouldn’t believe this, but, wait a second…” He pauses. “Ladies and gentlemen we have the man, our President, Donald J. Trump, on the line. Isn’t that exciting! Hello, Mr. President?”

“Thank you, Alex, love your show. Just love it. You’ve always been such a loyal supporter. You know, your show is just great,” said Trump.

“Uh, Mr. President, do you think this UAP or whatever they call it now is real or just more fake news! Is it just another Deep State plot to destroy our country?” asked Alex.

“Yes, absolutely. I’ve been consulting with my cabinet, here at Mar-a-Lago, Mark Meadows, Mike Lindell, Paula White, and also Jim Jordan, and they are all very skeptical. Now if it is Jesus Christ and He’s come to anoint me, as many people are saying—that’s what many, many people are saying, then surely I am all for that. After all, the election was stolen. You know that, everybody knows that, and apparently Jesus knows that.”

“Yes, exactly, everyone knows it was the Deep State. But are you concerned?”

“Yes, very! Jesus was a fine person, but this is mostly likely a fake Jesus arranged by the left to make America look weak,” explained Trump.

“One of the biggest problems in the United States is organized religion. Not just Christians, but Muslims, Hindus, and other people. The leaders of their denominations have been funded openly by governments and corporations to preach doctrines of submission to government, submission to tyranny!” exclaimed Alex. “The most likely explanation is that the political and corporate elites are colluding to bring about the New World Order: an Orwellian, dystopic one-world government based on this fake Jesus. It’s an abomination,” said Alex.

“But Fox News reported the first video feed of the chariot in the sky,” noted Owen.

“They’re in on it too!” exclaimed Alex.

“Fox News is not what it used to be,” added Trump. “Not since Roger Ailes left. Can’t trust ‘em, just can’t trust ‘em,” said Trump.

“Or it could be demons. Demons! DEMONS! They’re infected with demons!” exclaimed Alex.

Alex leaped from his chair and paced back and forth in the studio and shouted “demons” over and over…

Judgment Day: The Chariot Lands

The mostly-masked crowd in Times Square waited in breathless anticipation to get a glimpse of the chariot as it descended. Helicopters flew nearby as everyone tried to get a glimpse of the chariot and its enigmatic occupant. Interceptor jets roared past, at the very last minute commanded by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to not engage the object.

The chariot effortlessly maneuvered between the skyscrapers and landed gently in the center of Times Square, which stretched from West 42nd to West 47th Street in downtown Manhattan. A large crowd gathered around. For the first time in over a year, Covid-19 was not their main concern. Police hurried to secure the area and manage the crowd. A man in a long, flowing, white robe stepped out of the chariot.

“Wolf here at CNN with Jake Tapper and we have news that the chariot has landed in Times Square. We repeat, the chariot has landed, and everyone is saying that the man in the chariot looks exactly like the Jesus Christ in pictures and the movies.”

“Did you just say…Jesus Christ? This has to be some sort of gag, said Jake.”

“We don’t have any confirmation yet, except that the horses really do appear to have wings.” They looked at each other in stunned amazement.

“The internet is blowing up with all kinds of conspiracy theories. Some said it’s Jesus, others the antichrist. One America News Network correspondent, Jack Posobiec, just declared that Q-Anon is convinced Jesus has returned to reinstate Donald J. Trump as President. And still others believe it to be an elaborate stunt by James Cameron or Steven Spielberg.”

“Thanks, Jake, we are now cutting to Stephen Colbert, from the Late Show on CBS, live, in Times Square. Stephen, Anderson here at CNN; what can you see?”

“Good morning, yes, I’m here in Times Square and it appears, as crazy as it sounds that Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, has just landed in Times Square in a chariot driven by four, white, winged horses.”

“Did you say right-winged?”

“No, they are white and they have wings that fly. What exactly would a right-winged horse look like?”

“I don’t know.”

“They don’t like black horses?” asked Steve as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Steve! Okay, then…does it all look real to you?”

“It does! That’s the strange part. We see stuff like this all the time in the movies so when you see it in real life, you say to yourself, ‘hey, this looks just like in the movies!’ ”

“What’s he doing now?”

“He just stepped out of the chariot and now he’s standing in Times Square, not far from the TKTS booth–where you can get some great deals on Broadway shows. Broadway is back, baby! And there he is; they just put him on the video feed to the giant LCD screen here in Times Square.”

There were oohs and ahs from the crowd.

“Stephen, are you able to talk to him? Can you get near Him?”

“Frankly it’s hard to move but I see Kelly and Ryan at the front of the line.”

The video feed was on the man in the white robe. Policemen circled the area around the chariot and cordoned off the area. Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest were the first reporters given permission to interview him. They were just a few feet from the man many were calling Jesus Christ. Kelly visibly trembled as she walked up to the man.

“Oh, oh, oh my God. (catching herself) Oh, did I offend You? Your Highness, Your Holiness, oh, I’m too nervous I don’t know what to say!”

“Greetings from Earth,” blurted out Ryan as he extended his hand.

Jesus just stared at him. Kelly gave Ryan the stink-eye.

“Are you?” she asked, almost in a whisper.

“Yes, I am.”

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

–John 8:58 ESV

At that moment, billions of humans, worldwide, neither cheered nor clapped; instead, there was a hush over the crowd. It was deathly silent.

Jesus spoke!

On this day, in Times Square, Manhattan, New York City, in the United States of America, humans have now heard Jesus Christ speak for the first time in over two thousand years!

“Uh, why are You here?” asked Kelly.

“It will be as it is written,” Jesus proclaimed. “The truth shall make you free.”

There was pandemonium as the crowd cheered and applauded the news. The roar was deafening.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

–John 8:32 KJV

Yes, the truth will set you free. Everyone agreed with that!

“We want to thank You for this wonderful planet and all that You have given us!” said Kelly.

“And we celebrate Your birthday every year. It’s big, I mean really big,” added Ryan.

“Are You here for Judgment Day?” Kelly asked hesitantly.

“Yes, today is Judgment Day. Humanity is my favorite creation and it is time,” said Jesus.

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.

–Matthew 12:36 ESV

There was nervous chittering in the crowd. It did not register exactly what Jesus’ words meant yet.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

–John 3:16

***

There was noise and commotion not far from where Jesus stood. It was coming from a crowd of tourists standing around the Naked Cowboy (aka Robert John Burck), a Times Square street performer for over twenty years. Taking advantage of the large crowd, he continued to pose with tourists, wearing only his signature white underwear while holding a guitar.

“Behold!” boomed the voice of Jesus so loud and deep it reverberated between the buildings and could be heard blocks away. Everyone went quiet. Jesus motioned toward the Naked Cowboy, who stopped posing and looked at Him in awe and wonder. The Cowboy was now aware of his nakedness and covered himself with his guitar.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

–Genesis 3:7

“Begone, naked one who instills lust in the heart of others. Your reward is just.” Jesus waved his hand and the Naked Cowboy disappeared.

I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.

–Psalm 101:3

The entire episode was cast on the giant LCD screen. Billions watched as a man simply vanished before their eyes. Not sure what to think, everyone started clapping, slowly at first then louder and quicker until it erupted into a roar of approval. Convinced that it was some kind of illusion, everyone looked around to see where the Naked Cowboy was going to reappear. Stephen Colbert shook his head in astonishment.
