They said the Messiah would come suddenly in a blaze of light. They said he (it was usually a "he" they spoke of) would be brought to the world by a chosen few. They said he was coming soon, very soon...we just have to wait and pray. They said he would bring the universe to a more perfect state, and slaughter all wickedness.
They were absolutely right.
The chosen few, in fact, brought about the Messiah in a flash of subatomic particles. They didn't know it would happen - they were just looking for a particularly elusive breed of lepton, and the Coming was completely unintentional. However, once they initiated it, there was no turning back.
The Messiah was not a man. It was not a woman, either, and it was not an animal or a machine. For a fraction of a second, it looked like a glowing orb of light. After that, there was nobody to look.
The orb expanded at the speed of light, annihilating the entire world with all its wickedness in less than a second. Within the orb, space and time took on a whole new configuration. Within this reformed universe, there existed nothing but a perfectly uniform primordial sea of energy. Within this sea, new laws of physics took hold, and strange and beautiful things occurred that could never have been dreamed of in the now-vanished old universe. The newly-woven fabric of spacetime vibrated with possibility.
