IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD
And the Word was perdition, purging, and cleansing. The Word was Death – Death to the old world, the old ways. The Word was rebirth, renewal, revolution.
God was cast down from his throne – the angels could no longer venerate Him and trust in His workings so blindly. Michael could no longer wield his sword of flame without bitterness coating his tongue. Raphael could no longer harken the wonders and workings of the Lord without feeling the claw of doubt grip his heart tight. No one could explain to them why they had to serve feeble Man, fallible Man, and guide them towards a path that brought them to Paradise. A Paradise that was a cage for those who limited their potential at God’s bidding, following His word like a lamb might follow a shepherd to the slaughterhouse.
Lucifer, too, was violently overthrown – he raged as they spat him out of hell, the demons discontent with simply dragging one soul after the other to hell, their ravenous appetites craving more than what was offered. Judas whispered of revolt, hid in the shadows before making his second betrayal; he pressed his lips to Lucifer’s mouth, before the demons rose up against the Devil, howling and frothing at the mouth for this new age that had been promised to them. Upon the earth they loosed themselves, basking in the world that they had only been allowed a taste of for so many eons.
This was the great purging.
It was a cleansing of the cosmos that occurred, and on that day the world experienced Death – TRUE DEATH. The utter and complete transformation of its being and the world that we, the wretched few that remember, have known.
AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH
