Hell on...?

Adam shouted: ‘Fire the booster rockets now!’ Astronaut Eve Eden acted instinctively, activating the sequence and on cue the boosters of spacecruiser Merkabah thrust into power. Her husband Adam Eden looked towards her with a look of relief in his eyes while she sighed a great sigh. They’d been on a mission to the lowest reaches of the universe with the task of filming, from a safe distance, a year’s history of a place that no one thought really existed – that is until recently. A place called Hell! They’d been sent by scientists who’d recently discovered that Hell was a reality, a real physical location, governed by a very real, totally evil, Prince of the Power of the Air, who maintained his rule outside of the awareness of the inhabitants of Hell, in such a way that all manner of atrocities took place. Today their year of observation was up - and not a moment too soon!

Switching the spacecruiser to automatic hyper-drive Adam and Eve settled into their individual cryogenic chambers for the long 10 light-year journey home. And as they always do the long light-years swept by paradoxically in the twinkling of an eye. Awakening from their cryogenic sleep the space cruiser automatically docked neatly into the space port and from there the couple were shuttled to land in a near-orbit ferry. Upon arrival they were ushered straight to the President’s office. ‘Come in, come in’ she said. And as she guided them to the two waiting chairs the President looked the two over anxiously to ascertain what, if any, after-affects might be lingering within the psyches of two heroic astronauts. In unison they said ‘We’re fine, but it was touch and go!’ ‘Do you have the DVD?’ the President asked. ‘Yes’, said Adam as he handed it over. ‘And it’s unedited just as you wanted it’ added Eve. ‘Good’ said the President.

‘Were on air in 5 seconds Madam President’ said the TV engineer standing behind the camera which faced them. ‘5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – action!’ he said as the On Air sign burst into florescent red. The President looked sombrely into the camera and spoke. ‘People of the world, as you’re no doubt well aware, Adam and Eve Eden have today returned from their 21-year mission to film events from close-proximity orbit to Hell. This perilous project required them to record a year’s history of events in Hell exactly as they transpired. We are today, right now, about to share with you video images from a copy of one of the DVDs which contain some unedited excerpts from the vast library of DVDs that they logged in their time in orbit.’ With that the President’s image was replaced on the screens of the amassed global viewers’ TV sets by the harsh images recorded in Hell.

The first image that appeared on the screen showed a number of battles taking place, with many people suffering terribly as powerful missiles fell on the homes of the citizens living on each side of the conflict. And all the while, due to the special technology inherent in the recording equipment, a small split screen shot was fixed in the top right hand corner of the TV sets showing an abominable being who seemed to be influencing the combatants by broadcasting base emotions like hate, spite, envy, greed and such-like while forever being just outside of the perceptual range of those he was influencing, while simultaneously all the while playing with their minds and emotions. This was followed by some images of large dark buildings, spewing out billowing black and grey smoke, which was clearly having an adverse impact on the state of Hell. From there the broadcast turned to images of bulls, covered in blood, inside an arena with no way of escape, being stabbed with spears and swords while people looked on enthusiastically at the depravity. Then the image switched to pictures of dogs being force-feed toxic chemicals by people in white overalls. After this, there appeared shots of battery hens crammed in cages, followed by shots of drunken people vomiting and fighting in the streets of the cities at night. These moved rapidly onto images of business people fleecing their customers, to governments fleecing their citizens to h arrowing pictures of children being rounded up from the streets on which they lived and then murdered by the police. And the awful gut-wrenching pictures churned on…and on…and on… images of violence and cruelty paraded in all their ghastly detail. They’d even filmed religious leaders extolling separatism, torture and murder…and all of these actions were being influenced by the hate-filled being whose malicious image was displayed in the top right-hand corner of the TV screens of the world, a being who was clearly rejoicing at the sight of each moment of pain and suffering that he was ultimately responsible for.

Eventually the President said, ‘Enough! Enough!’ and the camera picture was turned back to focus on the President, who, along with Adam and Eve was looking very shaken by the extent of the wickedness that they’d just witnessed. ‘Before we transfer these files to the Globalnet public computer network so that they can act as a warning to all of us, God forbid, we should ever need one after seeing this, to continue to ensure that compassion and integrity remain uppermost in our minds, lest our world go the same way as Hell, we’ll take a few live calls at random from some of you viewers.’ She added. With that, the Presidential switchboard flashed into life. The President answered. ‘Welcome, this is The Capitol and this is the President speaking – what’s your name?’ ‘Thank you Madam President – my name’s Grace’ the caller said. ‘Who would you like to direct your question to?’ Grace replied: ‘I’d like to ask Eve, whether she felt there was any way the citizens of Hell could break free from the effects of the Prince of the Power of the Air?’ ‘A good question’ said Eve. ‘You know, I think that they all could. I think that if they just stopped to think, even for a few moments about the repercussions of what they're all doing, and where all of the violence and cruelty always leads they’d soon be able to overcome the influence of the Prince of the Power of the Air. And if they would all be prepared to ‘start over’ and offer forgiveness and grace, Grace, to each other for the wrongs of the past that would enable them to step into the future with new hope and a ‘clean slate’, so to speak’ Eve concluded. ‘Thanks for that’ said the caller.

With that the President answered another line: ‘You’re through to the President in The Capitol – what’s your name and who’d you like to address your question to?’ ‘My name’s Faith’ said the caller ‘and I’d like to ask Adam if he too thinks the citizens will ever become free of the Prince of the Power of the Air’s influence, because I believe they will. After all, how much madness and stupidity can a race inflict on itself before they ‘wise up’ and notice what the consequences always are?’ ‘Your name’s apt’, replied Adam ‘because I have faith, like you, that one day they will awaken and notice the results of what they’re doing and then their world will no longer be Hell anymore. I just hope they don’t leave it too late!’ he answered. ‘Is it okay if I ask one more question?’ said Faith. ‘No problem, what is it?’ Adam responded. ‘I’m interested to know, do the inhabitants call their world Hell or do they call it something else?’ ‘That’s the amazing part’ interjected Eve. Despite all the suffering they’re inflicting on themselves and upon their world in general, under the influence of the Prince of the Power of the Air, no one seems to have realised yet that they’re living in Hell. They call their world Earth!...’
