Every Man Has a Weakness

"He is alone."

"Unguarded... Interesting."

"He is wandering the wilderness. He has been fasting for forty days. This is your opportunity."

"I will go to Him, alone. Seems like the honorable action."

"What will you do?"

"I will be more generous than He..."

"Generous?"

"He wanted me to serve dirt. I will not ask the same of Him. He will have to kneel, of course. But, I will give Him the kingdoms of the world. He will be my key advisor."

"He is the Designer... Made of matter from what I can see, but He is still the Designer none the less..."

"He is mortal! Mere matter! He is on my world! Those made in His image serve me! Not Him! This world serves my will, not His! Am I not generous!? He will kneel! And I will be generous!"

"I understand, my Master."

"He will kneel... He will. I am right! I will be patient. I will show every one, Heaven and earth, that the Designer cannot deny my offer. This is my destiny. He is so desperate now. He is starving. I know how weak flesh is. He will create for me at my will, all while believing this action is His will, for His benefit."

"I support you, and trust your word, as I always have, my King. May I go back to Rome?"

"He will bow before me this day."

"May I go?"

"This man will also worship me."

"May I go?"

"Go, and tell our brothers there that soon we will have our revenge... He is a man now, and every man has a weakness. Every man will die."

And what happened?

"Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."

Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'

"Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."

Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve." Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Matthew 4: 1-17.

When Iniquity Forms

"He is going to make them in His image, brother. He wants them to be one with Him."

"You said they will be made of matter though, bound by three dimensions and... Bound by time? You said time, right?"

"Yes, everything He is designing will be made of matter, thus those made in His image will be made of matter. They will be in a kind of prison though. Miserable place; time."

"But the Designer is not made of matter. How can these creatures be made in His image? You are close to Him! Help me understand! What answers did He give you?!"

"They will be made of matter, but with an undying source of energy inside of them, a spirit. This energy will be transferred to our realm when their form of matter shuts down. He is only going to create two of them. Although their individual forms are slightly different they are intended to become one. Like the Father is one with Love, these creatures were made to become one in matter, or as the Father says, "one flesh."

"A symbol! They will be a symbol of the Designer and His Love. But, why? This serves no purpose."

"They are made to give glory to Him. Ultimately they will become one with the Designer and thus rule over us."

"I don't understand. They are to be made of atoms! Atoms are worthless! Contrary to us. Intentionally they are being made of junk, and yet you say they are made to glorify Him, and become coheirs with Logos."

"You speak truth on all accounts."

"What shall we do?"

"We will tell the others. We will see how many of our brothers feel as disturbed by this news as we are."

"Why do you think He only shared His intensions for this creation with you?"

 "He knows all... So the obvious conclusion is that He expects me to do the unthinkable."

 "I don't understand."

"I will stand against Him. I will stand against the finite matter whom He will breathe His life into... He gave me everything and then He tells me to serve living waste. Whether for the better, or the worst, I will be what I was made to be... He knows I cannot stand for this. So, I will not."

"The truth is that you cannot win, my brother. So, why do you entertain such thoughts, thoughts so contrary to your nature?"

"Truth, you say, my dear brother Michael, what is truth? I see molded matter, dirt, clay that the Father breathed life into. All of the rest of creation He instructed to create of it's own kind... I will take note of this, and at the right moment, I will confuse this dirt."

 "You sound different my brother... You sound contrary to the nature of the Father."

 "The Designer!!! He never told us that He is our Father. Never once!"

 "I don't recognize your tone."

 "Was not I confused by your tone? You asked the questions. What is that? Yet, we know. To question is allowed, and ordained."

 "Concerned... Yes, I was concerned... This incite must come from Sophia. God wants us to remain trusting in Him."

 "I was saddened, little brother! Then, angry! Now, I feel... Hate! This is not from Sophia, but unique to me."

"Not possible."

 "Yet, here I am. Grabbing your face in defiance of Him, asking you to support me in His place."

"I can't go down this path... It's in... In vain."

"Ha! Of course you can't!"

 "I care about you brother. Please don't defy Him."

 "Go!"

 "Yes, I will go. "

"I will tell His creation about all that He is not. They will hate Him for it. I will bring substance to that which has no substance, (sin, darkness, death, meaninglessness). I will make the unappealing appealing. This worthless creation will be mine. By the place where their time is through they will not even be able to define Truth or Love... Nothing can stop me because the Designer is too great to lower Himself down to their petty level... Yes, this must be His will. I pass the challenge and I will become greater than Him."

In a realm bound by time, many years later,

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" John. 1:14.

Choose life and Truth, or choose death and a lie.
