Lollipop Cruise, Part 21: The Battle of Angels

The enemy army approaches… the sun’s still not risen…

Blaring trumpets and drums of all kinds… announce this dawn of destruction.

200 armored war elephants charge… followed by a half million soldiers in black

Like an army of ants they advance… towards those who DO believe in God…

Suddenly the enemy stops… frozen in time… Some are frozen in mid-air.

Mee Kah-El asked, “What is that? How are they frozen?”

General Azir said, “My God, I’ve never even heard of something like this.”

Satan said, “If Hashem parted the Sea of Reeds… can He not freeze time?”

Angel Rafael explained,

“On the day God created water, God pre-programmed that at the moment the Hebrews were escaping Egyptian chariots, all waters of the world would split in half… especially the Sea of Reeds. So, in this way… God could’ve programmed the enemy’s freezing.”

Mee Kah-El asked, “But why then did God do this?”

Rabbi Twersky cried out, “Yes.. yes… that is the question. If we knew God’s purposes… we would know how we could best serve Him! Nice going, my son.”

Angel Gabriel spoke, “I can tell you--right now in lower Heaven… two angels are facing off in a rare contest. One is an Ishan angel… the one who wrestled Jacob. He and his fellow Ishan order angels are competing with a dark angel I don’t recognize. The dark angel has friends. Let me show this on the clouds so you can see this odd contest.”

Projected onto low clouds was a Heavenly scene words can’t describe…

An angel of light with his friends… faced an angel of dark with his brothers.

The dark angels sang first:

“Fires crackle… Geese cackle… bidnay badnay hofspreg mulaye…

If it’s no good… it may be evil… Fires crackle…

Bidnay badnay… bidnay badnay mulaye…

Jackswanee… Jackswanee…. Jambaleah Jambaleah… Bidnay badnay

Jackswanee… Jackswanee…. Jambaleah Jambaleah… Bidnay badnay

Junkamatato…Junkamatato… Jakardem Jungzunghen…

Engdom kleptic toe… Engdom kleptic toe. You think you know… You think you know.

But now we use our power… to destroy you. We’ll be happy when we…

Have what you have. Since we cannot create, we must steal.”

The Ishan angels sensed God’s will being opposed.

As the sun rose, the angels of light sang in unison to uphold His greatness,

“Shirahhhh…. No go tidal flow… Shirahhhh… No go tidal flow… Shirahhh…. No go tidal flow… Stop this darkness, stop it now…

Shirahhh…. Shirahhh…. Shirahhh…. Shirah… Shirah… Shirahhh… Shirahhhh...

No go tidal flow… Shirahhhh… No go tidal flow… Shirahhh…. No go tidal flow… Be gone darkness… Goodbye night… Let there be only God’s holy light… Shirahhhh…. No go tidal flow… Shirahhhh… No go tidal flow… Shirahhh…. No go tidal flow… Darkness now is done… Shirahhh…. Shirahhh…. Shirahhh….

God is great… God is good… God is great… God is good… God is great… God is good… God is great in all His glory.”
