Heavenly void – OmegaBooks

A Future Novel? Hmmmmmm….

It has been a few weeks since my last post, but that is because I have not been able to decide what the next post would be—another snippet post, or something completely different?

This will be something different, because over the last couple of weeks (while busy with other stuff), thoughts or inspirations have entered my mind regarding a possible new novel, but related to previous novels (most likely, another spin-off of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, as The Murder Rule is).

After completing the third novel in the trilogy, The Prodigal Band, I considered writing an “aftermath” type novel explaining what happens after the climactic events of this novel—after the band rescues keyboard-synthist Bry’s wife Mo from the evil satanically possessed Mark Besst who was about to impale her, the satan-figure, Corion, captures Besst within the evil red crystal the evil one uses to capture human souls. Further, the good spirit being used by God’s angels, the Tooters, called Morwenna, returns “home” to heaven, her missions having been accomplished, as she lets her employers, singer Erik and his wife, Ger, know via a note she left for them.

But, then what? Is there more to this story? The narrator of this novel, pop culture pundit Lloyd Denholm, surmises at the end of the novel that the prodigal band members, given “missions of God” by the Tooters, will complete their missions and spend eternity in Heaven, being “good and faithful servants.”

Thus, I have been thinking how this “aftermath” plays out. The six band members complete their missions, and pass on at some point, souls in Heaven. However, what is Heaven really like? Is it that “void” I’ve had them in, a white, timeless, soundless, sight-less, void that contains “dots” or “lines” as they move through the void? (Note: refer to Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band.) The Bible mentions “streets of gold,” “crystal seas,” and other beauty, but still…what does it look like for sure? What does God look like…after all, the Book of Genesis says God made man in His—actually, “our” image—while the Gospel of John Chapter One says “the Word” (Christ) was with God and was God. Thus “our” image…but still, what do these “images” look like? What does the Judgment Seat (Book of Revelation) look like? What does the “accuser,” Satan, look like…and does he have “devil horns”?

The other possibility is an “aftermath” predicting the “end times” narrated by one of the novel characters, possibly one from The Murder Rule, with a scenario of how the next few years historically and spiritually plays out, for we do seem to be entering what looks to be very dangerous times, wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes in diverse places…for instance, several in my area north of here, possibly due to oil fracking (after all, north of me is the Permian Basin, where the oil producing industry is huge, likely the largest in the US). And all those preachers predicting end-times events (such as the timing of ‘the rapture,’ and more…only God knows, right?).

So that, hopefully soon, I will be inspired, somehow, to begin writing the next novel, for it seems to me that time is getting short.

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Four)

The previous post in this series, Part Three, where the prodigal band is within white, timeless void, ends with former roadie, Bobby, who also composed a song for them relating to their “missions of God” about ‘the Way,’ Chrit, telling them that they had a choice as to accept the missions through accepting Christ—it was up to them, period. In this Part Four, they begin their journey into making that choice. The snippet, neither long nor short, will be broken up a couple of times in order to explain necessary ‘background’ material to help the reader understand what is happening within the snippet, from the middle of Chapter Eleven of The Prodigal Band, © 2018 Deborah Lagarde. Below is the snippet, in portions.

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Three)

The previous post, Part Two of this series, ends with the six prodigal band members heading upward along a “line” that seemed to move upward to an undetermined location. Then, suddenly, a “dot” is noticed. In previous posts, “dots” would indicate the presence of a person—or a being of some kind. The “being” they encountered tells them what they needed to hear to guide them into their “mission,” and appeared in person in the previous chapter: Bobby, a former roadie who sent them a song he wrote that he hoped would inspire them to do what was necessary to carry out their “missions of God.” It was this event which caused them to consider whether they would truly accept and accomplish their “missions,” or not. Bobby also told them why they had to be “raptured” (caught up) to this “timeless void.”

The snippet below, unlike the previous one, is rather short.

A Look at the Key Chapter of The Prodigal Band Trilogy that Decides the Fate of the Prodigal Band, and Their ‘Redemption Draws Near’ (Part Two)

This post, Part Two, from the likely most important chapter (Chapter Eleven) in the entire Prodigal Band Trilogy, opens up the likelihood that the band will collectively accept not only their “God-given” missions (given by God’s angels), but God Himself.

But first, let me state why, having said I would post the week after posting Part One, which was last week, I could not post: I could not post because I was too busy being with family and barely even used the internet. I wasn’t even at the location I am now.

Now then, on to Part Two of this series, and a very long post at hand, broken into sections to help in the explanation of this post.
