Jack first speaks 

So we were all surprised. Not only did he not die, 

Annike: "Actually, he did die but then come back." 

Yes, Ms. Accurate. Not only did he die and come back, but it was as a lion. A lion. We were almost too scared to approach him. He helped us calm down and told us to come with him. We followed him to a cliff and he stood on the edge and looked at us. He then told me to reach out my hands. At first I thought he was going to bite my hands off. But instead he breathes on them and a large book with the words, "BIBLE" written on them. And then he turned to my sister and told her something about teaching. 

Annike explains 

He said, "Sometimes we should not teach. For those who teach will be judged the most." So he's kind of saying, "Be careful with how you preach because it will affect the lives of others". 

And so with that he told us we know have what we need. We are not alone. There is a spirit with us and will be there to guide us. We just have to trust and obey. And then in a bright light, he disappeared into the sunset. 

Jack then intercedes 

I looked down at the book. It was a big one. I thought, "Oh boy. This will be a lot to read." 

Annike: "Don't worry brother. I will be there to give you context of history and culture to explain a few things." 

Right. And so that is pretty much it. We have a lot to tell others. 

Annike picks up her harp once more 

Let me finish with a song 

There was a new world 

A new place 

A new race 

A new foe 

And when it all seemed like nothing could change at all 

Yeshua Jireh then came along

He was a preacher and a healer 

Yeshua shalom 

The one of peace he is 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

Lamb of heaven 

Come be with us 

Lion of Earth 

Stand right by us 

Lamb of heaven 

Comb be near us 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

He had cometh 

he had healeth 

He had teacheth

The kingdom cometh 

The one was sent to us 

And what to come of it 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

Lamb of heaven

Come be with us

Lion of Earth

Stand right by us

Lamb of heaven

Comb be near us

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you  

Though darkness d'vour him 

He shall not stayeth 

Grave never kept him 

Hell never claimed him 

He rose again today 

And now in vict'ry he roareth 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

Lamb of heaven

Come be with us

Lion of Earth

Stand right by us

Lamb of heaven

Comb be near us

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 

He is Yeshua, the one that heareth you 


They stop talking. 

You walk right passed them, after thanking them for their story of course. As you are going, you laugh to yourself. The dead rising? A lamb from heaven becoming a lion? All of this? C'mon. Really? But as you are walking through the street, you turn because you could have sworn you heard a lion's roar.
