There was a great battle...good vs evil: The King on one the side and his Arch Enemy, Lord Abaddon on the other. Lord Abaddon, in order to strike back at the king, waged war against the people of the land.

The King's only son, the Prince, volunteered to disguise himself as one of the ordinary people, live among them and lead them to the safety of the King's palace. For only the king and his son knew the path from the village, of the people, to the palace of the King. On there own, the people could not find their way, though many had tried.

After three decades of living, undetected, amongst the people, Lord Abaddon discovered the true Identity of the Prince.

His first attempt to subvert the plan of the King was to try and turn the Prince, in his loyalties, away from the will of the King, with the promise to fame and fortune. The Prince, being wise beyond his supposed years, saw through the frail attempts of his father's enemy, and resisted the temptations he was offered.

Lord Abaddon then went on the offensive with plans to destroy the Prince in order to dismantle the plans of the King. The Prince haralded the good news that the people could enjoy freedom from Lord Abaddon if they would trust in the Prince, follow him, and seek shelter with the King. At every turn, Lord Abaddon set traps. His minions would falsely acuse the Prince, and plot his demise. The King, however, had a masterful plan and because of his inexhaustible resources and power, he easily controlled each battle and each foe. Lord Abaddon, blinded by power and glory, could not see that he was merely a dog on the King's leash. Lord Abaddon's master plan would culminate in a coming together of all of the small plans that he had set into motion. He wished to see the King's son perish, and with his death, the King's plan to save the people from the enemy. He watched, as a director watches his actors, as his agents and the allies of the Prince, worked together to trap and imprison the King's son. He was tried, with no legal representation. He was convicted, in a kangaroo court, and sentenced to die in the most horrific, public display known. He was beaten, but never retaliated. He never fought back, he never denied, he never accused. He accepted his death as a sheep led to slaughter. It was as if he knew that it must, for some reason, happen. They led him to the edge of town where the stripped him and killed him, slowly. As he was dying, there amongst the rabble and other prisoners, he took time to tell a fellow prisoner how to escape the clutches of Lord Abaddon. Upon his demise, his corpse was prepared for burial. This included tightly wrapping his body, from head to foot, in a Houdini-esk manner. His body was then placed in a tomb and the tomb was sealed to prevent his relocation. A military guard was placed at the tomb to discourage those loyal to the Prince and his father, the King, from absconding with the body. On the third day, as the Prince himself had often foretold, the once dead son of the King miraculously left the confines of the burial clothes and the burial tomb and showed the people how they, also, could escape the clutches of Lord Abaddon, and live free in the kingdom of the good King.

A chronology of Jesus:

  • Jesus left heaven- John 6:38, 2 Corinthians 8:9

  • Satan, through Harrod, tries to kills Jesus, but God sends his messenger to Joseph with a way of escape. Matt 2:7-13

  • Jesus made known - Matt 3:13-17

  • Jesus is tempted, but he resists - Matt 4

  • Jesus teaches and makes disciples- Matt 4:12 - Matt 26

  • Jesus on trial - Matt 26-27

  • Jesus is tourtured, but he survives. He is beaten, but he turns it into our healing - Luke 22:36, Matt 27:26 Isaiah 53:5

  • Jesus is hung on a cross, - Matt 27:32-50

  • But he leads the thief to salvation - Luke 23:32-43

  • The temple curtain torn - Matt 27:51

Satan tried to eliminate our possible reconciliation with God, but Jesus' death, on the cross, split the curtain to the Holy of Holies, effectively opening up easier access, for us, to the throne of God.

  • Jesus dies, is wrapped in a burial cloth and placed in a tomb, with a stone to seal the entrance. But, He defies death, he escapes the burial cloth, he rolls back the stone. Jesus prepared for burial - John 19:28-42

  • The stone - Matt 27:66,

  • John 8:1-11 the adulterous woman

  • I wonder if Jesus, as he wrote in the dirt, was looking at the stones and looked to the day when satan would attempt to shut him inside the tomb with a 1 ton stone
