TWENTY EIGHT DAYS (chapter 2) (The New World)

Without hesitation, I called on to him for help, trying to narrate what I went through during the previous hours. My voice was shaky in the process of asking the person to get me out of where I was, then, the person calmed me with his words, saying; "don't be troubled, I am Gabriel, the one who previously appeared to you in your church office. I had to appear to you in human form because the custodian of the Heavenly realms instructed me to do so. Where you are is a huge farmland which is yet to be cultivated by its owners. In no time, the owners of the farmland will come to this farmland. When they come, approach them and tell them that you need them to help you by accommodating you to live with them in their house. Afterwards, you can then proceed in telling them the full details of everything you've seen and heard, where you came from, and what your mission is. After this, I will come back to tell you what to do next". After he said this, I turned to see if anyone would approach immediately, but couldn't find anyone. By the time I turned back to the angel speaking to me, I found him no more. Then just like moments ago, I was left alone once more because it appeared as though the angel who came in human form had disappeared.

After some minutes, while still in my state of worry, I saw a mini truck driving towards me, then as the truck drove closer to me, I was able to spot a man in his early fourthies, I also saw a lady beside him whom I perceived to be his wife. They finally parked beside me with a look of surprise, because to me, I feel they couldn't figure out how someone will be standing all alone in the farmland, and seeing me in my roughly dressed state, I'm sure a lot would be running through the man's mind. The man eventually came down from the truck and approached me, then looked at me in amazement for a few seconds. The way I perceived his physique and facial structure, he looked like someone in his early fifties. He had a fairly dark skin tone and should be around five feet in height. The lady who was with him, but still in the truck with the look that shows the fear of not getting to be harmed by a stranger also has to be around forty to forty five years of age. After some seconds of him staring at me, and he staring back at me for some seconds, all I could sense was that he was having a bit of calmness in his mind, after having the realization that I couldn't harm him and the woman that was there with him. After some seconds, he asked the lady with him to join him and come down from the truck, which she did immediately. The lady, after alighting from the truck, stayed glued to his side due to a bit of tension and worry. After he and the lady beside him stared at me for a while, he asked: "Who are you and how did you get here?'' Then I answered: "I was sent to this present time from the past". When they heard this, they took a few steps farther from me. With amazement from their faces, they asked me the same question with a softer tone, then I gave them the same answer that I previously gave. In their state of looking in a confused manner, I continued speaking to them saying; "I know that this may sound a bit awkward, but I was actually sent from the past by an angel and I'm here in the future to carry out a mandate of God th this current future generation". Immediately I said this, they became more worried, then suddenly, the man ran towards me, pushed me to the ground, and then knelt behind my back. After he did this, he began to search my pockets and some other parts of my body in order to be sure that I don't have any weapon on me. After he searched me and found nothing, he felt calm, stood and gave me a hand. Then he apologized for rough handling me. The dust on the ground had already stained everything I had on me. He then asked what my name was, and I told him, then he said I should tell him how I got here, then I repeated to him that I was sent from the past to the future. Then I proceeded in trying to convince him so as to make him believe me, so I explained to him what my ordeal was all about, and how I was teleported from the past through a heavenly portal. After about a minute of trying to convince him, he seemed partially convinced, then he said to me: "I believe you must be very hungry and tired, come into my truck so that we can go to my house together. Is that ok with you?'' He asked, then I said yes. So he asked me to follow him which I did. At this point, the lady that was with him was looking at me in a kind of worrisome way, and when we approached the truck, the lady asked the man: "are you sure he doesn't possess any harmful intentions?", The. The husband answered; "maybe, but there's something within me that says he's harmless and needs help. Don't worry dear, when we get home, we will keep a keen eye on him and try to interrogate him more, ok?", then the lady, still looking a bit tense, said;"no problem". The man then asked me to take the front seat which the lady with him was previously occupying, and the lady should take the back seat, so as to be on a safer side."

When we were set to leave, he tried igniting his truck, but it wasn't igniting. With this, he became worried, and then everyone had to come down from the truck. He tried fixing some things in the truck but still, none was having an effect. After some time, I requested to pray concerning the car, then he accepted. After praying for some seconds, I asked him to start the truck, and when he did, the truck roared back and was ignited. On seeing the effect of my players, a kind of sign of happiness was being expressed on his face, then we eventually went into the truck and then proceeded to his house. Nobody spoke a word along the way, all that was just visible was the suspicious look on their faces.

As we alighted in front of his house, I realized that his house wasn't far from the farmland. Beside the house was a barn. When we entered the house, I saw two kids sitting on the couch, then the older child, not up to five years of age came to her dad and mum, alongside their two year old daughter. The older daughter asked: "Dad, Mom, what took you so long?"This was when I fully realized that the lady with the man was his wife. Then the father, not knowing what to say due to the question catching him unawares, pointed at me as the reason for staying long. The other child, on seeing me right at the entrance of the living room, looked awkwardly towards me and asked: "who is he?", then the man, not willing to call me a stranger replied: "he is one of my cousins. We had lost contact for some time, but now, we are just getting to meet." The child asked another question saying: ,"but why does his clothes look tattered and dirty?", As soon as the man was trying to find an answer to the little girls' question, the lady which was with him interrupted the man and said to the child; "my cutie, let's get into the room and let's check out some of your homework in your room, ok?"Then the little girl nodded her head in agreement, then the lady carried the younger one and they both went into the room. The lady looked back and signaled to the man in a way that told him to keep an eye on me, then the man nodded his head in agreement. After this happened, the man asked me to sit down in order to discuss extensively.

The man said; "before we can talk about anything, you will need to take a shower, after which I will give you some new pair of clothing to change to. My wife will prepare something for us to eat before we can discuss it effectively. Is that okay with you?"Then I answered; "yes". He then stood and asked me to follow him which I did, then he directed me to the bathroom, where I am to take my shower. Afterwards, he went into another room to get me some new clothes.
