'Which test reveals more of the soul - the test
that a man will take to prove his faith. or the test that finds the man who
believed his faith already proven? If you know this answer, then you also
know which of these challenges bear the greatest penalty for failure, The
gates of paradise will open for you one time only; woe to the soul who dares
to knock twice.'
-Book of Missions, 5:14, The Scriptures
Casting his sight on his realm, the Lord witnessed
The cascade of evil, the torrents of war.
Burning with wrath, He stepped
down from the Heavens
To judge the unworthy,
To redeem the pure.
-The Scriptures, Revelation Verses 2:12
