restored if this were to work.
Judas continued his work of ministering to the sick and needy, conflicted as he laid hands on each soul. Using the power of the Lord on those he thought it wasted
And from that moment, Judas surmised how he might compel the Lord to show Himself as God, restore Israel to power and establish the kingdom.
Lucifer smiled, as he ceased in planting seeds of suggestion. Smiled knowing that in time they would germinate and bear fruit.
A fruit that would convince this Clayborne that Yeshua could be persuaded to reveal who He was if forced into a corner.
And from that moment, Judas surmised how he might compel the Lord's hand to show himself as God, and to restore Israel to power, and establish the kingdom.
Lucifer watched from afar, as Judas and the rest of the seventy returned to the Lord. Chuckling to himself that within the group he had planted tares to choke the life from Yeshua Himself.

Enoch and his team approached the swirly gates of Limbus. Janus stood in front of the mammoth opening, his sword drawn. The angel with two faces floated above them all. Slightly larger in build, he was quiet and neither of his faces turned toward them. The eyes of the guard seemingly focused on events beyond sight.
Enoch spoke to the winged apparition. "Hail, guard of Limbus. I am Enoch, translated of the Lord. I bid thee grant me entry, for I come in the name of the Lord of Hosts."
Gabriel, Metatron, and Hadriel watched in silence to see what the guardian would do.
The black face of Janus with white eyes turned to Enoch and spoke. "We know who thou art, Adamson, for thy works are known to us." Immediately, the white face with black eyes turned to them. "Thou mayest enter, but answer me this...wilt thou permit thy companions to die for the cause of the Lord?"
Enoch and the rest of the entourage paused, surprised by the question. Gabriel took it upon himself to reply. "Dost thou foresee death for us, Janus?"
The two faces of Janus smiled, laughed and then replied. "In the realm of Limbo, life and death are but choices to the path that leads to Aseir."
Enoch lifted his voice in answer. "Then I choose life that both I and those with me might live."
"The black face replied, "Foolish human, for can a seed give life except it fall into the ground and die? Thou dost seek to enter Limbus. Very well, but know that which you enter. For Limbus is the realm of choices. It is alive with possibilities. What resides therein are but the echoes of battles both won and lost. You now stand between here and there. Enter, if you dare. Enter the space between choices, and the mezzanine between life and death, for thou wilt go forward or thou wilt not. Tread carefully, human, for there are ancient eyes in the dark, and thou dost not belong here."
The white face then spoke. "We shall observe the alternatives that you make, and watch you navigate the eddy of options. Behold, the entry to Limbus: Realm of Choices."
The guardian pointed the way with his sword.
When Enoch looked before him, and when he did, he saw a mirror that contained his reflection and those of all his party, but Janus, who stood also in the path, did not appear in the reflection.
Janus placed the glowing, fiery, blue blade into the swirling smoke that was the door. It caught aflame and the whole entrance turned blue and erupted in fire. The churning mists stopped as though they would wait for time, and then settled into a still fog that crept along the ground.
"Enter through the Gates of Eternal Views and pass over," Janus said.
Enoch and the rest of the group walked through the jagged mouth of stone and stepped within the gate. When all four had stepped through, Gabriel looked back. Janus and the gated entry were gone. All that remained was their reflection as in a mirror, multiplied in ad infinitum.
The group eyed darkly silhouetted grey and black rocks that loomed on each side, fog
