In the last moments of existence I witnessed an event even more extraordinary then the cataclysmic destruction that followed said event. The great nations of Earth knew of their demise long before it actually occurred. Tensions were out of hand and although every leader knew in the back of their minds what the Red Button would actually accomplish they accepted that this world would be a far better place without any of them.
Without humanity. And while the Red Button would certainly reduce this once fertile planet to yellow cracked stone, the void of life was preferable to the existence of ones enemy.
I am an Angel sent by God 14 years ago to avert this disaster. God thought Satan himself was behind these happenings to lead to the destruction of all that exists on His most favored of planets. I came to this place much like an 18 year old out of high school. Ready for anything but knowing nothing.
I saw no demons. No Fallen Angels. Ready to smite the evil from this planet I slowly came to the realization that Satan himself had could not control this monster. All I saw was freewill being exercised in the worst ways.
I spent most my time in highly populated cities disguised as a regular human. And I saw Gods proudest creation destroy each other in every way they could think. Churches close their doors while the attendees buy their children new cars. People dying in the street while their neighbors watch cable TV.
I watched a man tell a hungry woman he didn't have any cash to give her for cleaning his car windows on his way to buy a new boat.
And every instance of unthinkable evil I saw I sensed no demonic presence. I sensed only the thought "I deserve this"
Those people would die without help and no one would offer them help. I looked into the hearts of those sick and poor and, astonished, I found only writhing hate to all those who did this to them. All the people who wouldn't hire them, all the people would educated them wrong and all the people who wouldn't give them a bite to eat. But very rarely did I sense any kind of responsibility. Usually I sensed a hate toward God who according to them had done all this to them.
After 14 years of living among the people I never came across a single demon only millions of people hating each other.
Their was no way to solve this. Everyone was at each others throats for trivial things. The planet was still plentiful. Their was water and food and plenty of shelter but everyone wanted as much of it as they could.
And when all of a sudden the U.N. told the United States they could no longer just take the resources they wanted by force like they had for the last century and call it liberating those poor people. All the United States unanimously agreed to usurp the U.N.
Many lives were lost on both sides. The world versus America but this is how it ended.
Scheduled.
The leaders agreed through educated threats that they would destroy the world through nuclear war. And so they decided that on August 15 the birds would fly.
At first the masses were blood thirsty willing to die to kill the world which had done them wrong.
On August 14th no one went to work. No one took out their trash or did their dishes. People ate breakfast with what they had and they brought their extras outside and fed the hungry.
My mouth was agape as people clothed the less fortunate and taught their children in hushed voices that this is the way God wanted them to be. Helpful and providers for those who do not have. In the evening I noticed people taking each others hands. Families at first. Then neighbors. Then complete strangers.
Not long after everyone was linked in a long stream of hands. No words were spoken all the adults held each others hands while all the children played in front of them with kids they have never met.
They watched the young play peacefully with each other until midnight and in the dark of the night a brilliant white light flashed across the sky and miles of shadows grew for a fraction of second. Then a rumbling like nothing the Earth had ever heard rolled through entire planet as hundreds of nukes detonated in every corner of the globe.
I am not sure when the people died but I know shortly after the light and the bang came the heat. The earth itself glowed red and it cracked and buckled. And the water instantly evaporated. Leaving nothing.
Nothing but cracked yellow sand beneath my feet.
I failed God so I walk amongst my failure until I can find even a sign of Gods breath of life on this planet. Something although if i find anything I know it will be from His grace and not my work.
