That was the last conversation he had with his parents. Maddix finished his senior year at high school while living with a friend. His parents didn’t attend his graduation ceremony. And one day after graduating he drove to a recruiting station and enlisted into the Navy.

Thorn wiped at his eyes. He still hadn’t fully healed from the estrangement, didn’t know if he ever would. Yet he didn’t hate his parents. He couldn’t, not after he learned the secret they harbored for so long.

The night he and Sara fled to New Zealand he discovered the true reason behind his parents disowning him. While at Caleb Brennan’s ranch, making preparations to disappear, Brennan handed him a DVD video made by his parents. Brennan told him to watch it before they left. On the DVD his teary-eyed parents confessed to knowing about the prophecy concerning him. Turns out they’d both been having dreams about his future for a long time, similar dreams where an angel appears and says their son will become a great man of war and lead a resistance against Satan and his demons.

His parents went on to say they thought if they threatened to disown him for joining the Navy he wouldn’t go through with it. All they wanted to do was make sure the prophecy never came true. Near the end of the DVD they apologized, pled for forgiveness, and said they were praying for him night and day.

I hope they’re praying for me right now, Thorn thought. I could sure use some divine assistance.

Thorn pulled the Eden sword out of its scabbard. He looked at the etching on the blade for probably the hundredth time. He still couldn’t decipher it. There were odd looking symbols and letters in the etching he’d never seen before, and was sure no modern linguist or archaeolexicologist had ever come across either. Lord, why won’t you reveal what it says to me?

Thorn placed his index finger near the last letter near the sword’s hilt. Hebrew is read from right to left. Thorn read the first three words, the only words he could translate. The rest of the etching was in some ancient code, and most likely encoded before the ancient Hebrew language was even developed. For that matter it could be written in a language uttered only by angles and the saints in heaven.

Yahweh will gather…Yahweh will gather what? God could gather any number of things: people, animals, angels, demons, stars and moons, planets and galaxies, et cetera. The possibilities were endless. Frustration washed over Thorn. The etching baffled him.

Having studied Hebrew in seminary long ago, Thorn knew the basics of the language. He also knew the structure of the Hebrew language can be tricky. In Hebrew, the order of the words in a sentence can be changed and still have the same meaning. Articles don’t have to be used before a singular noun, and Hebrew sentences don’t have to include verbs.

Thorn assumed the numerals in the etching represented a word or a letter.
