Short Stories

Greetings,

Some ideas for a potential allegory that could potentially benefit from an introduction with any relevant quotes from the famous “War and Peace” classic. Any feedback posts will be deeply welcome. The outline is as follows:

1. A description of the advancing enemy and their distance away from “Zion city” potentially borrowing themes from LOTR, Joel 2 and Micah 7:5-6?

2. A description of the some of the very focused and ordered, almost-round-the-clock preparation taking place. Soldiers are men and women, boys and girls, young and old (as potentially inspired by the Starship Troopers movie beginning?):

• The mending of the city walls. Some very senior disciplined people grimly supervising and one of them looks like a small boy but is actually higher in the rank than one or two much like the young boy from the Last Air-bender Avatar movie. “Pay the most attention to the Achilles wall men, what might only permit coyotes or wolves during peace time might open the door to the hoardes of hell themselves during times of war...”

• Destroying of strongholds i.e. bad attitudes amongst the troops (2 Cor 10:13?). This is mostly done in a magical pharmacy place (Think Harry Potter?). Special orders for antidotes for fear. A busy ICU handles tougher cases like heartbreak, depression, guilt and shame.

•“Uncle Samuel wants you!” Many civilians celebrate after entering through The Narrow Gate initiation phase. “I signed up!”

•There is a constant building up of reservoirs of food and water i.e. faith and anointing?

•Special marks on the forehead (Revelations 9, Ezekiel) are also being given to all citizens in order to make it additionally easy to differentiate them.

•The armoury is busy. Soldiers personally and thoroughly see to systematically kitting themselves out properly. There is also some sword training going on (Hebrew 4:12 and 2 Tim 2:15?)

•The All Prayer team is preparing for the launch of “intercontinental ballistic missiles” (Sermon by Pastor Derek Prince?)

•Teams of bespectacled military policy makers and dynamic analysts analyse and develop strategies and emergency drill procedures, and also seek to appoint HSE contact persons (1 Tim 3 description about Deacons + Watchful from the Pilgrim’s Progress?)

3. End with a brief snapshot of The Gideon Elite rolling out – a special ops team that even sleep with their boots on (Sermon by Pastor Derek Prince + Judges 7:4?) and that include only one or two women in their number (Think Mikasa from AOT or Arwen’s sister from LOTR or Deborah from the book of Judges?)
