Chapter 1

Angel Gabriel floated down from heaven (secret location) and moved the stone. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary could hardly believe their eyes. Their eyes hung out on stalks as Angel Gabriel finish moving the stone and then sat on top of it. I smiled, and paused the Earth for a moment, waiting for Angel Bob. He loved watching this sort of thing. I knew now, from the expressions on the women's faces that they would believe in my "miracles" whether Jesus was there or not. I also knew however, that if the women didn't tell the apostles about this, and therefore don't go to Galilee to Witness Jesus' rising to the Holy Spirit (a good friend of mine, but that's another story) Jesus dying would have been in vain. And however powerful I was, I couldn't reverse death for more than a few days. Angel Bob sat down on a chair in front of the screen, and I pressed play.

For this particular mission Angel Gabriel had chosen the "classic" look: White clothes, and unspeakable beauty, plus the hat (aka Halo). For those who didn't know how annoying he was, you could have mistaken him for a perfect person. Far from it. The guards who were supposed to be guarding Jesus' tomb were trembling, quite obviously scared of Angel Gabriel. "You must not be afraid," Angel Gabriel said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has been raised, just as he said. Come here and see the place where he was lying. Go quickly now, and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from death, and now he is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him!' Remember what I have told you." The women left the tomb, glad to be away from Angel Gabriel, because even though in their eyes he was beautiful, he also scared them because he was so different from all humanity they had ever known. They ran to tell the disciples what had happened, but suddenly Jesus came and appeared to them. "What is he doing?" I shouted, and jumped up. This WAS NOT part of my grand plan. Muhahahaha. "Calm down, Sir, Jesus is only paying his respects to the women," Angel Bob said, and pushed me back down on the sofa. "Relax!" he added, and went back to sit down. Jesus was infuriating sometimes. This wasn't what we had discussed! The plan was for Angel Gabriel to tell Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to tell the apostles to go to Galilee where they would see Jesus in all his glory. But, as usual, Jesus had a plan of his own. Admittedly, last few times he went against the plan it worked out just as well, or maybe even better, but still, I was God, the all powerful, the all seeing.

"Peace be with you," Jesus said. The women fell to the ground, not believing once again what their eyes were telling them. They worshiped him, at his feet. "Do not be afraid," Jesus said to them. "Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me." Hadn't Angel Gabriel just said that? "Angel Bob, he ruined my plan!" I moaned, and Angel Bob came to sit next to me. "How so Sir?" he asked me. "The women were meant to see him in Galilee, and in Galilee only, it would have a better effect. The whole, you-are-blown-away thing, you know. When Jesus gets here, he and I will do some serious talking." Angel Bob shook his head. "You can't take control over people's lives, you know. You can give them opportunities and nudge them in the correct direction, but at the end of the day it's their decision, what they do on Earth or Elsewhere," Angel Bob reminded me. This was true, sure, but I liked being right. I don't think I have met anyone who doesn't.
