Apocalypto Times
It seems as if every decade, another “End of the World” following begins. If it’s not a Jonestown cult, it’s the year 2000 or December 21, 2012. Yet each date has passed and as long you were not a member of the Heaven’s Gate or a similar cult following, the world is still spinning.
However God admits he’s been ready for the apocalypse for over 100 hundred years but it is Jesus who keeps holding him back.
“Jesus is supposed to be the leader of the apocalypse with his sword, but my son will not learn how to proper carry and use a sword,” God said.
Jesus said he does not see the point of learning how use a sword as it is no longer a cool form of weaponry unless you are filming a Tolkien movie.
“We’ve moved past the Middle Ages quite some time ago,” Jesus said. “We have guns and cannons and tanks now dad. Why in your name would I ever carry a sword? Get with the times.”
God is frustrated as Jesus has consistently missed his fencing and swordsmanship classes.
“I pay for these classes and he’s consistently hours late if he shows up at all. I’m not asking for much,” God said. “I’m trying to save the Christians here. Get your ass in gear already.”
Jesus does not understand how carrying a sword is scary anymore or even a sign of power.
“I’ll be the laughing stock of Earth as I’m on my white horse with a double edged sword. I'll look around to see military tanks and assault rifles pointed my way," Jesus said. "I’ll last two seconds down there and the people of Earth will have to await a third coming.”
God is sure Jesus is just adamant on defying him.
“He hasn’t rode a horse in months,” God said. “Powder-puff is just grazing in the fields saddle less. The last time Jesus rode a horse he almost fell off.”
For Jesus the whole apocalypse scenario is severely outdated. From the horse down to the sword, Jesus thinks the story needs a reboot.
“I would like my second coming to include an Apache Helicopter and a bazooka,” Jesus said.
God rolled his eyes as he heard his son’s description.
“This is why I am the Lord and he is merely my son,” God said.
“Sure he knows a few magic tricks but I am the brains of this operation. It’s a
sword, period.”
God said he cannot go back on his word as the prophets have already
written the story of Jesus’ second coming.
“John clearly wrote in Revelation that Jesus would come with
a double edged sword and come with a double edged sword he will,” God said. "Come with a double edged sword, he will."
Jesus said the prophets are from an age where fire was still
a new invention.
“Come on,” Jesus said. “I also told everyone I was going to
the Prince of Peace and here I come with a double edged sword to save a few
Christians. The word’s not exactly written in stone.”
In the end Jesus has accepted his contradictions of
teachings.
“I’m not complaining but it does seem a tad bit hypocritical,”
Jesus said. “I did initiate the golden rule but if I’m going to break my promise,
I want to look like a Bruce Willis character, not a Monty Python sketch.”
However, God is growing impatient and can no longer hold his anger inside.
"In the old days, I would just demolish Babylon or go all holocaust on civilians and all that aggression would simply disapear," God said. "Then I killed my son and held my anger in for over two milleniums. I just don't how much longer I can do this."
God said he had summoned enough anger to end the world by
the American Civil War and had anticipated Jesus riding in with General Ulysses
S. Grant at Fort Donelson.
“It was to be a majestic end of the world, the freeing of
the slaves and then a big bang of apocalyptic grandeur,” God said. “I’m just
frustrated. It’s a sword and he’s had over 2,000 years to learn.”
God’s simmer has now come to an over boil.
“The anger is in the pit of my stomach and for everyday
Jesus puts off learning the sword, the more it grows,” God said.
God claims he now has enough aggression to completely
destroy the Earth, Jupiter and half of Mars which is why he is urging Jesus to
become a master swordsman.
“If I don’t destroy the world soon, some angels might lose
their wings,” God said.
