::::::::::CHAPTER 2:A Visit From Gabriel::::::::::

"who said that?" Sweetiebelle looked around the room as she heard what sounded like faint lulling music playing in the distance soon after A bright light appeared in her room, and from this light a figure the light slowly dimmed its form came into full view...a Creature the likes of which Sweetiebelle had never ever seen before, it was an Angel,with a perfect human shaped body of masculine, yet graceful and un-earthly Beauty, a white sash and robes with a pair of shimmering grey wings and long,flowing Black hair. Carrying a Silver Trumpet...it wasn't just any Angel, An ARCH-Angel...it was Gabriel!

Sweetiebelle shivered in fear as she ducked behind her covers "wh-who are you?"

"Hark Thine Angel Gabriel Has Come apon ye so she shalt know the Word and testament of God Almighty."

Gabriel spoke in a voice that was both commanding,yet strangely conforting at the same time.

"whu...huh?"

Gabriel just sighed and the light around him dimmed even more so as he spoke again in a softer tone and more clear manor. "I Am Gabriel" he continued "...And I am an Angel,a messenger of God" he said, in hopes that she would understand better.

"G-God?" Sweetiebelle spoke up "what kind of God?"

"The One and Only True God young child" he smiled warmly "why are you hear?" sweetiebelle inquired

"You need not fear little child, for I mean you no harm" he continued "I have come to show you the true meaning of christmas, for you see ,there is more to this Celebration than any earthly source of knowledge could teach you...it is older than you're Equestria, older than the ponies and most of the other races of your time.

"you mean you know how it began!" Sweetiebelle sat upright and gasped.

"that I do Child." Christmas is a time to celebrate the birth of the lord and savior of the world,The Son of God Jesus Christ"

"Jesus Christ?" "Who was he?"

"he was and always shall be the son of God, and the Savior of Mankind and all that come after."

Gabriel continued on to explane that god's original creations,the humans where misled down onto the path of wickedness and sin and that thier only means of forgiveness was the salvation brought to them by the son of god,he then told her of Jesus and how he was crucified and died on the cross and took man's punishment so that eny who repented and turned to him would be forgiven for their sins and be givin salvation.

after that, Gabriel explained that Humans eventually had tribulation and their world was destroyed,and that some were sent to heaven,and others where judged and cast out into hell.

"if all this happened before ponies existed, How come we know about christmas?"

"there was brief moments in history where Humans and you're kind had contact with one another" Gabriel shook his head "but that was long ago".

"but Jesus Died not just for Humans but for the sins of all his Father's Children, Including you and you're kin"

"as the ages passed the traditions of Christmas was past down over several thousand years by your people, but it's origins and meaning where lost in history."

"the ponies have forgotten of the Son's Birth and God and his son weep for this"

he then smiled at Sweetiebelle "the time has come to bring gods word to light in your world"

Sweetiebelle could only blink in confusion

"It's time they remembered"...Gabriel continued

"and you will be the one to remind them" he smiled.

"ME!?" Sweetiebelle said. "yes you..." "you see as you may already know,everyone has a purpose, a gift...something they where born to do"

"you mean their special talent"

"exactly" "and with you're "special talent" you can move the hearts of those around you and motivate them to follow God and his son to Salvation.

"but whats my special talent?"

"you mean you do not know?...my child you use you're gift every day"

too that Gabriel drew his trumpet and played a soft lulling tune that made Sweetiebelle tired

"but wait...i still have more questions!"

"Sleep now little child...all will be clear soon...when the time comes, you will know what to do"

and as sweetiebelle slept there, Gabriel faded away into the night.
