The Whole Armor of God - The Novel

The Whole Armor of God

                                              

By Seth Garrett

The Whole Armor of God is a fictional story written as if it were an ancient record similar to the Bible. 

The records begin with the history of the universe, written from the perspective of the angels as they witnessed the creation.

 The angels glorify their God as he creates the new universe as if from a Big Bang.  The plan and the purpose of creation are glorified as the angels sing their mysterious songs.

 Unfortunately, while God is away in the higher realms, rivalry breaks out among the angels in heaven and a war is begun.  All of the angels are in commotion.  Each angel, with their special animal transformations begin to fight among the stars in the sky.  The stories of their battles in heaven are forever imprinted in the constellations of the stars.

 

 The angels begin to form alliances - good verses evil.
Michael the Archangel takes the lead against Lucifer and his angels.  But as Lucifer's angels form into a snake to bind up Michael, the sting of Lucifer strikes Michael in the heel.  Michael now poisoned has only one last chance and crushes Lucifer's scorpion head with his foot.

Lucifer and Michael's spirit entities then fade away to the lower heavens.  And their death leaves the rest of the angels in heaven to continue the battle.

While in the lower heavens, Michael wanders in search of his purpose.  Meanwhile Lucifer seeks out the darkest corners of the lower heavens and finds Satan the Goat.  These two merge their entities to become one.  Then they find the Dragon from the Before.  The Dragon from the Before, also known as the Devil, joins with them and they become a new entity of evil.

 Michael the Archangel slowly learns the purpose of the Universe.  A new warrior will come carrying the Full Armor of God.  Only this warrior can combat the powers of the Devil.

The creation continues downward until we arrive at earth.  The story continues as the Devil secretly thwarts the creation.  

God allows the natural laws of the universe to do the creation, as stars collide and planets are formed.  He sends his angels to guide the process and make tweaks in the natural flow of events as needed.

Life begins to evolve according to God's plan.  For He desires to evolve a life form that is in his image and can contain the spirits of his children.  

But as the Angels guide the process of evolving mankind, the Devil is actively plotting the destruction of mankind.  For in his mind, if he can tweak the process of evolution to create large beasts, mankind will be consumed at the moment of their creation.  These were called the Dinosaurs.

But God, seeing Satan's plan, sends meteors to the earth do destroy the Devil's creations and allow Mankind to dominate the earth.

God's plan of evolution continued.  A creation in God's own image was about to be created at last...

But the Devil once again made his mark on the course of evolution by tweaking the evolution of man.  For he thought that by evolving the vicious giants, he would have a superior race that would annihilate mankind after the moments of their creation.

But then God sent an ice age to wipe out the vast majority of the Giants.

At last, the world was ready for the creation of Adam and Eve.  They were to rule as immortal Kings and Queens over all the animals on Earth.  They were first created in an enclosed Garden of Peace, known as the Garden of Eden.  

Here they would be protected from any of dangers of the outside world.

But Satan had a plot to destroy their gift of immortality and subject them to destruction.

For with the laws of the Heavens, only God could have both Godly Life and Godly Knowledge.

But Satan tweaked the evolution of the trees to include one tree with fruit that would give the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  By doing so, Adam and Eve would become eternally responsible for their choices.  Only a perfect individual, like unto God, has the capacity to be eternally responsible for their choices.  To afford this power to imperfect individuals would condemn their souls.

The only way to save them was to destroy the bands of their immortality.  Sins made in a temporary sphere could be redeemed.  But sins made in an immortal sphere would be eternal damnation.

Therefore the fell from their rank of immortality and were cast out of the Garden and away from the fruit of immortality.

And the Angel guarded the fruit of the tree of life.  Yea, even the Angel with the flaming sword which turned every way.  

Unbeknownst to Adam and Eve, this Angel was the bearer of the Whole Armor of God.

The sword the calls down fire from heaven, even the Sword of the Spirit.

Adam and Eve began to have children.  Cain grew wicked and killed his younger brother Able.  A new son was born to replace Able and to avenge his death.

This chosen child was named Seth.

Seth grew up a lover of animals and was obsessed with the stories of the Garden of Eden.

"One day, I'm going back there to live there" He would tell his parents.

And when he was a young lad he finally marched back to the place of their beginning.  And upon seeing the Angel of the Lord, Seth was utterly terrified.  Though being restricted from entering the Garden, the Angel gave him a promise - that the day would come when the Guardian Angel was no longer needed.  At that time, he would bestow his Armor and Sword unto Seth.

Seth forgot about these things until the day of Cain, when Cain rose up with an army of Giants to encompass the land and destroy the children of Adam.  Seth knew that the time had come for the Armor of God.  Going back to the Garden he retrieved the Armor and the Sword.  It was now his turn to avenge his brother's death. 

The power of the Flaming Sword beat back all the Giants and the war was over.

The power of the Whole Armor of God was so great that it had to remain top secret among the children of Adam.

If any wicked soul were to steal it, the consequences would be horrific.

The secret of the Armor of God passed down from Father to Son.

They had a code word for that which hides and protects the Armor - they called it an "ark".  

The Whole Armor of God was passed down to Noah who hide it in the "Ark" which he build to withstand the floods. 

Later it was stolen by the Egyptians who hid it in the Pyramids.  Abraham discovered this and recovered them for his posterity during his travels.  

Issac and Jacob kept the secret well.  But later Jacob brought his family to Egypt to be reunited with Great Joseph.  When the time came for the slavery of the Israelites, the Egyptians had stolen back the Whole Armor of God.  But after the 10 curses of Moses, the Egyptians gave many of their jewelry and precious items to the Israelites to make peace with their God.  The Whole Armor of God was returned to the People of of God.  

Moses learned of its great power and hid it up in an Ark, or the Ark of the Covenant.  All the Israelites knew of the power of the Ark of the Covenant but they didn't know why.  Just by touching the Ark, you could lose your life.  Somehow the Ark was able to energize them in their Righteous Wars against the Giants.  The power of the Whole Armor of God was with them.

      

But after the separation of the 10 tribes of Israel, the Ark was taken away and the seven pieces of Armor were scattered and lost over the world.  The world then entered a spiritual dark age that would continue until the Armor was finally restored together once more.

The Sword of the Spirit was kept by a man of the tribe of Juda.  It was stored up in his treasury.  He's family passed the sword down as an heirloom.  Eventually a wicked man named Laban inherited the treasury.  This was his most prized sword.  Until a servant of God named Nephi was commanded to slay him with his own sword.  

Nephi brought the sword to America.

Another man named Mulek was the son of the King at the time when the tribes were splitting.  He left to save his life.  He took with him his father's breastplate, which happened to be the Breastplate of Righteousness.  Mulek also took his family to America.

As the pieces of Armor spread around the world, the caused spiritual revivals in their journeys.  But none were ever complete.

Eventually Joseph Smith was guided of the Lord to discover the Sword of the Spirit and the Breastplate of  Righteousness.  With these in store, a new spiritual revival was prepared for America.

But it was still not complete.  

In the Last Days, a chosen son will be born in Jerusalem.  They will call his name Immanuel.  He will be known as Prince David.  He was chosen from the beginning to wrap up the story of the Earth.  He will be the finisher of every prophesy.  His name is the Holy Ghost.

David will grow up with many spiritual gifts.  His purpose is to search over the whole earth and gather the Lost Tribes of Israel.  The battle is coming quickly.  The heathen nations are being gathered against Israel.  Lucifer, Satan, and the Devil have emerged as three frogs infecting the Kings of the Earth.

With the Liahona to guide him, David will search the earth for the lost pieces of the Whole Armor of God.  Only then will he have enough power to stand in that evil day and face the Dragon alone.
