The boat needed to come through so he was called and he said, "Okay I've got time, it's a long time before the train should come."
When Joseph entered he pulled the lever and the gears and the big huge stone-steel bridge started turning and they started cranking the steam.
All of a sudden gears are moving and the big huge bridge is just starting to go up and as it rises higher and higher, he has to watch and make sure everything is fine.
As the boat is passing, the train is coming an hour early and the train conductor didn't notice the red light. The train with thousands of passengers continue going.
Juswe saw the train and he looks to his dad and said, "Daddy the traaaain! Daddy! Daddy the train's early! Daddy, you got to... Daddy! Hey! Daddy!! The train is coming!!!"
Juswe trying to warn his father who is not able to see this.
But Joseph was looking at the gears making sure that he had enough oil and steam to get the bridge back down for the train.
Juswe knew that his dad one time showed him where the trigger was. It was a red lever and if he pulls the train bridge would collapse down fast so the train would be able to come across.
Juswe knew that there was people on that train and needed to be saved.
But the passengers are the people who are sinners - drug addict, afraid, alone, sad, mad, liar, anguish, bitter, thief, cold, cheating, criminal, disappointed, bully, empty, embarrassed, in despair, grief, insulting, lost, suspicious, jealous, doubt and frustrated.
They did not know that the bridge was up.
And Joseph all of a sudden heard the train coming. He looked at the sight of the window and said, "Oooh my son!" he looked out and his son was gone, "Oh my God! Where's my son?!" he looks back in time – to see his son trying to save the day.
Juswe had to do was pull the lever, he reaches to pull it and as Juswe pulls too far, he falls in the hole.
"Ahhhhhhh"
"Daddy!! Daddy, I need help!! Daddy! We need to save the people in the train. Daddy save them!!"
As the train getting closer and closer, it makes a rumbling sound a steadily increasing chugging sound.
Now, it's on the father.
And God the father. God the father has to make a choice. The big decision of his life – pull the lever and save the world or leave it up and save his son.
