Episode 566: Tales of Gabriel: Temptations
November 2047
On the Skyship, Gabriel arrived to tell a story
"Zordon, who went by the name Yeshua while on Earth, was baptized by his cousin John" said Gabriel "during this time, both the Father and the Holy Spirit made an appearance. After this, Yeshua went out to the desert. I was ordered to watch over Him, but not to make contact or to interfere in any way. This went on uneventfully for 39 days, but then the 40th day came…"
In the desert, Gabriel was watching over Yeshua. He pulled out Zordon's Power Morpher
"Why would you give all this up?" Gabriel asked himself
"Why indeed" said a voice and he turned to see Satan himself
"Satan what are you doing here?" Gabriel asked and Satan blast him, sending Gabriel flying, too weak to stand. Satan grabs the Power Morpher "that won't work for you"
"I know" said Satan
"Then why take it?" Gabriel asked
"So I can do what I do best" said Satan "temptation" and he goes to join Yeshua
"If you really are the Son of God" said Satan "tell these rocks to become bread"
"It is written in the Scriptures" said Yeshua "'man does not live on bread alone, but on every Word the Lord says'" and Satan teleports them to the top of the Temple
"If you really are the Son of God" said Satan "throw yourself off the Temple. For it is written 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you in their hands, so you will not hit your foot against a rock'"
"It is also written in the Scriptures" said Yeshua "'Do not put to the test the Lord your God'" and then Satan teleports them to the top of Mount Sinai and opens portals to show him the kingdoms of the Earth, as well as the rest of the universe
"If you will bow down and worship me" said Satan "I will give you all these things"
"Get away from me Satan!" said Yeshua "for it is written in the Scriptures: 'you must worship the Lord your God, serve only him'"
"Very well" said Satan and he teleports them back to the desert "but one last thing" and Satan hands him the Power Morpher "in case your faith isn't enough, you've now got this to help you" and he teleports away
"… and then Michael and the others helped me and we tended to Yeshua. Next time on will tell you about the greatest injustice to ever be committed. Until next time Rangers" and he teleports away
