(This story chronicles the adventures of Steven O'Neill, his wife Sarah, and their friends during the End Times. Judgment has already struck the U.S., and Steve and his friends have reached the vast continent of Asia. Witness the amazing things God will reveal about the coming kingdom of the Beast (or the Antichrist), the Mark of the Beast, and the Tribulation period. This story should keep you fascinated, as a realistic account of the future unfolds in the form of a fictional story.

But, this story is not just a story. It contains messages from God and prophecies that actually shall happen. It is written as fiction with fictional characters, but the message of the story is very real, and the cataclysmic events, touched on in this story, will actually impact this earth as God’s Holy Bible and its prophecies unfold. The world will soon enter a time much like that portrayed in this story. I encourage you to seek God about this to see what He will show you.)

Chapter Three


PART 3: “The Miracle”

The campfire flames danced and wavered over the logs, sending up wispy smoke that rose above the tree tops and dispersed. Flickering shadows fell on the grass from the twenty-plus people and their belongings. Steve stood near the crackling fire and spoke to the group which faced him, huddled by three other campfires. The quivering flames reflected in the glasses of several men and women as they listened to Steve’s teaching.

Steve spoke, scanning over the faces, as he held an open Bible in one hand. A large backpack lay a few feet from Steve with an unzipped pouch, where he had stored his Bible. It had been translated to him by an invisible angel just minutes ago.

“When God said, ‘Let there be light’, He was not only speaking of the visible light that you and I can see,” Steve said. “Our Abba Father God was speaking of His spiritual power to reveal Himself to His creation through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. When Adam, our ancestor, came into existence, he was given a spiritual knowledge about God that Adam had not had to search long and hard to get.

“It was part of the information God had downloaded into Adam’s soul and spirit. So, likewise, we all have knowledge of God that God had created us with. We are not born in total darkness. God gives us light. That is why Jesus Christ is said to be the Light of the world, and why the Gospel of John records, in the first chapter, that Jesus Christ said… Let me read it to you.”

(This section takes place in eastern Eurasia.)
Steve flipped the pages of the Bible to a bookmark in John chapter 1. Then, he said, “John 1: 4 through 5 says: ‘[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.’ So, Jesus Christ is the One who gives us life and light. But, the devil and his minions do not comprehend this Light. Speaking of Jesus, John wrote in the Gospel of John 1:9: ‘That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.’ So, Jesus gives light to every person who exists. This light shows us that we are sinners, and that only God can provide the way of eternal life, and only God can cleanse away our sin. He did this by Jesus Christ, our Savior and God.”

“Excuse me,” a man said from just a short distance away.

“Yes,” Steve said.

“My name is Shing. I am an Oroqen born in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia. I have a question for you,” Shing said. “Why is it that you say God gives light to everyone who comes into this world? Where I came from, the government leaders were sending soldiers into the homes of Christians to confiscate their belongings and to take any Bibles they had. They also stole our property, even though I am not a Christian.

“My brother is a Christian, but they treated both of us roughly and with cruelty because we shared the same house. They beat my brother with clubs because he refused to renounce his faith. But, they stole my valuables, even though I told them I never was a Christian and did not care about Jesus. How could those soldiers have also been given light from Jesus if they behave like they have no conscience and no knowledge of God?”

“Well, Shing,” Steve said, “they have been given the light of Jesus since He created all people and all things, but they had chosen to reject Jesus and to harden their hearts against their own consciences and against God’s Spirit. I have heard of stories of communist soldiers getting saved. We all have a sin nature, as you and I know, but God the Father provided Jesus, God the Son, to take all our sins upon Himself, and to die in our place. It is only by His precious blood that we can be saved from sin.”

“Okay,” Shing said, “I guess that makes sense. It just seems so hard to grasp how people can be so cruel to each other. I have always tried to help people because if I help them, they will help me when I’m in need.”

Suddenly, some loud cracking sounds broke the relative stillness of the night. The sound of branches being snapped came from the woods beyond the light of the fires.





Everyone looked toward the forest for a few seconds of fearful silence before some men and women quickly doused their fire with dirt and ran for cover. Steve stood still and waited. Sarah, standing just a few feet from him, closed her eyes and prayed quietly.

“Oh, Father God,” she whispered, “don’t let us be arrested by soldiers, if those are soldiers. Don’t let them see us. I trust my life into your hands. You kept the guards from seeing Simon Peter when you had an angel escort him out of a heavily-guarded prison. Please keep us from being seen.”

Out from the darkness of the woods came more snapping sounds, but these were less loud. Soon, twenty to thirty figures appeared, walking through the concealing forest shadows. In moments, a few appeared in the light of the burning bush, which miraculously continued to burn. Now, Steve could see that these figures were soldiers carrying lowered machine guns. Sarah placed a hand over her mouth and swallowed hard, but Steve placed an arm around her back and drew her to his side.

She trembled with fear as she watched the soldiers slowly stepping across the small opening in the forest, right past tents and backpacks. The soldiers were walking toward the burning bush, with curiosity and awe displayed on their faces, seeming to ignore the tents scattered here and there. They didn’t seem to notice the group of Asian Christians scattered nearby, huddled behind trees or boulders.

Steve’s legs trembled, but he spoke to his Heavenly Father and gave the fear to Him. Then, a supernatural peace flooded into his soul, while he watched the soldiers.

One of the soldiers nearest the burning bush said in Chinese, “The bush is not being scorched or burned by the flames. This is truly incredible! I can’t believe my eyes.”

The next closest soldier hurried over and drew closer to the bush, while his comrade held back a little. But, he ran into an invisible object and fell to the ground. Standing up, he cried out in terror and ran, leaving his gun behind. As he ran, he said, “This place is cursed! Let’s get out of here.”

“Stop running! You’ll give our position away,” another man snapped at him. “Get your gun and keep searching for those Christians.”

The terrified soldier ignored the order and continued running, glancing back now and again. He tripped on a log and fell, and cursed the forest before scrambling away. His commander ordered him to stop, but he continued running, melting into the woodland shadows.

“If any of you run like that coward did,” the commander said, “I will make sure he gets punished. Keep moving. We need to find that Christian group.”

The soldiers obeyed and kept walking, but suddenly, a bright light appeared. They all dropped to the ground, releasing hold of their weapons, and several cried out in fear. An angelic warrior suddenly appeared, shining with pure, white light. He wore the type of armor and Corinthian-style helmet as the angels Steve had seen earlier. In his large right hand he held a large sword, and his left arm he carried a round shield that was shinier than polished chrome.

The soldiers regained consciousness, and quickly scrambled to their feet, and ran for their lives into various directions. They had left their guns behind. As they ran, some threw their gear bags and helmets to the ground, to be less encumbered in their flight. In a few minutes, the crashing sounds of the terrified men faded from hearing.

The angel stood at least fourteen feet tall. Add another six feet to his height, and he would reach the top of a two story building. His large, white wings were stretched out from his back, protruding from openings in the back plate of his armor. They resembled white eagle wings, but were larger than fighter aircraft wings. He was larger than the angels Steve had last seen and was very impressive with shining, white hair poking out from under his helmet. The angel briefly surveyed the people below him before he vanished from sight.

Once the angel had vanished, the Christians came out from behind boulders, bushes, and trees, and blinked several times. Some of them pinched themselves to see that they weren’t dreaming. A great sense of awe descended on them and no one said a word. Even the children, who had been crying softly, were calm. Peace had fallen upon all in the group.

After almost a minute of silence had passed, a man shouted, “Praise the Lord God for having His angels guard and protect us!”

More voices chimed in, praising God. Some laughed and others cried. Sarah wiped a tear from her face and started laughing. “Steve,” she said, “God protected us just like He said He would. The soldiers didn’t see us, even though we should clearly be seen in the firelight. That was amazing. Praise God Almighty!”

“Glory to God!” Steve said. “I never should doubt God’s love and protection.”

“Steve, My son,” God’s loving voice spoke to his spirit and soul.

“Yes, Abba Father,” Steve said, listening to the still small voice that he had learned to trust after seeing that God was faithful to His Holy Bible, and did not contradict the Holy Scriptures.

“My son,” God said, “you will now give a message to this group. I will have you speak to them, My son. Many of them are new believers and have little understanding of My ways. Go ahead and speak. I will be with your mouth. And, I the Lord your God and Abba Father have spoken.”

Steve walked to a place where everyone should be able to see him. He spoke loudly, in Chinese: “Attention everyone, will you come over here to listen. God wants me to share a message with you.”

The group began coming close to him, one by one. Once they were all present, Steve said:

“God wants us to continue moving north. We will stay overnight here, but shortly after dawn, we will pack up and move out. The Chinese are aware that some Christians have been hiding out in these woods. Some of the people that visit these woods have caught sight of Christians here. So, we need to move on. The soldiers were searching for us and would have either killed or arrested us, had it not been for God supernaturally blinding them and causing them to see a warrior angel who is guarding us.

“But, God shall protect us and keep us safe because He really loves us very much. But, there is a warning I need to share with you. If any of us leave this group and go off on our own, independent of God’s leading, he or she will be out of God’s region of supreme protection. He or she will still have some protection, but the protection will be less than it is when we walk in God’s best will. How we know God’s best will is by seeking Him and asking Him our questions, and listening to His voice speak to us. God will never contradict His Holy Bible or His Nature. That is a promise we can lay hold of. Now, let’s get some rest.”

[NOTE: Russians are not the enemy, neither are the Chinese. Both are people just like you and me. But, God will use Russia and China to judge wicked nations, which will not repent from their rebellion against Him. And, the devil will seek to stir up men to persecute the Church. But, God will deliver all who seek Him and trust in Him.]
