Lollipop Cruise, Part 22: A Family Affair

“Timmy… I miss you… ” sobbed Alisha.

“I’m not Timmy anymore… I’m Mee Kah-El.”

Alisha continued,

“Are you OK? Has the War begun?

You know… we only just met and fell in love.

I know we’re guided by God above…

But I’m so worried. When will you return?”

As an army of black bolted towards an army of light, it truly remained a family affair…

Ancient and modern blended into one… Arguments melted into thin air…

Should Isaac's descendants defend God’s bequeathment to them…

Or change God’s decision to broker a peace to stop fighting with Ishamel’s people?

Mee Kah-El replied,

“I’m amazed we can think-talk so clearly. The enemy’s still frozen…

The angels of dark & light just sang… I don’t know what’s happening…

I don’t know what will be. I don’t know much about anything… except…

I miss you… but I can’t think about you now because…

Something big is under way… something huge is happening… & I seem to be the boss.

Help my brother Joshua… Help him gather young friends around the world…

I see that while the battlefield allows one to stop an enemy…

You can only win a war with the hearts of the new generation. Gather our people now.”

Alisha pledged,

“I’ll happily do this for you, my love. Haven’t I connected you to them from the start? Please come home soon. I can’t wait to have my arms around you again & feel secure.”

Mee Kah-El was thought-replying “OK,” when General Ezra grunted,

“Their army has unfrozen. The angel contest has ended… Now the war resumes…

If we knew who won their contest… we might know our fate down here.

Can anybody score an angel singing contest? Does anyone know who just won?”

Dressed black, Kedar was from the Tribe of Kedar… Which was named after Kedar…

Who was the second son of Ishmael… Grandson to Abraham.

He’d always had greatness expected of him… He’d never felt he’d lived up to hopes.

Kedar hoped to turn an eternity of disappointments into a moment of family justice.

He growled,

“Today I shall kill so many descendants of Issac… My ancestors will finally be proud.”

He yelled like a leaping leopard as he held his saber skyward…

Charging with hundreds of thousands of angry brothers… he hastened his pace.

A mile north… in a trench passing behind a large weeping willow tree… was Shem…

He was named after Shem… grandfather of the great Patriarch… Abraham.

He’d fought for Israel & God his whole life… since his birth 3 years before the Exodus.

Over the centuries… he realized he fought to preserve Isaac's Divine inheritance…

From the grabbing hands of Ishmael’s descendants… who forever tried to reverse…

What they felt was the injustice of Issac--not Ishmael--being God’s “Chosen One.”

His body was hidden in this trench… with hundreds of thousands…

Of his brothers in his and other nearby trenches.

Shem’s head and arms were above ground… he aimed his rifle south… at Kedar.
