Seventh Angel

SEVENTH ANGEL- Iraqi Vet falls for Dancer. Archangel empowers the Chosen One. An Iraqi war veteran and MMA fighter with PTSD falls for a beautiful, Hispanic exotic dancer and aspiring singer, who is in search of the Spear of Destiny while struggling to overcome drug abuse and the domineering control of her politically powerful, demonic stepfather. Their journey leads them toward a self-discovery of Forgiveness and Redemption, rising up as God’s Chosen Ones, the Seventh Angel and the Key to open a Vortex to allow Archangels to descend from Heaven, fighting Demons and a Seven-Headed-Dragon alongside a Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Gang from Purgatory upon the Eve of the Biblical Armageddon. Angels fighting Demons atop a cliff, overlooking a rising sea, unveiling the Light of Truth, by way of, combatting the darkness of sins includes- struggles with the horrors and violence of war, drug abuse, guilt, and doubt while overcoming these inner demons in order to fulfill one’s destiny. It’s a story about Faith, Hope, and Redemption, leading to an awakening of dreams and self-discovery, involving a dichotomy within symbolic images of Angels and Demons upon a resonating prophetic verse- “with God anything is possible.” The message echoed out upon the ocean from atop the cliff across the sky to where the horizon meets the sea, "No matter where you are in life, you can arise up out of difficult circumstances and become greater than you ever imagined." The journey involves transformations, from the ordinary to the extraordinary, while unlocking the true power of a Roman Spear that lanced Jesus in the side as he hung upon the Cross; a Spear that was sought after and possessed by rulers, kings, and Hitler through the centuries that followed- a power many searched to use. That power, finally, explodes by the least likely to be given a gift by God to do so in order to save the world upon the Eve of the Biblical Armageddon.

Writer Statement

While writing this script, there have been numerous explainable signs, relating to the Book of Revelations in the Bible and in regard to things that would happen years and circumstances, apparitions, possibly connected to God. In the beginning, years ago, I wrote about the protagonist, Joshua, standing before an old stone church with a Cross on the outside wall, reaching out to his mother’s grave with the miracle rose upon it. Down a moonlit path from this church, I envisioned, and wrote about, a waterfall in the middle of Joshua’s woods (his mind). One Christmas Eve, when I was standing before the real old stone church’s Cross, I saw something bright, coming from across the street. I looked up. It was a large stain glass window of a waterfall in the middle of the woods. This same night, when I was driving home, I saw the largest moon that I’ve ever seen with something spanning out of a billboard on the expressway. I got closer. It was a large white winged horse, flying against the light of the moon. Yes. In my book, near the end, Tim’s secret project, a white winged horse kite, is lifted up in the winds of Armageddon and flies against the light of a full moon. This same night, I saw my real brother, Tim. He was watering a white rose. He told me that he called it his, Miracle Rose, because it also bloomed in winter. Again, Yes. I had already written this part too, not knowing. There is a Miracle Rose in the book that blooms when the Snow Falls- Signifying Jesus’s Return, His Second Coming. While my brother was unknowingly, watering my faith in this book, he talked about how he had to get an operation on his arm. I said, “Which arm?” He asked, “Why?” I said, “No, reason.” He answered, “Right.” In my book, Tim has to get an operation on his “Right Arm.” This was just the beginning of the signs. One recently involved when I was writing the script. I hadn’t done this in years. A Saturday afternoon, while I was writing secretly writing the screenplay version, my brother, Tim, text me a picture- Angel Wings. Through the years, I continually see the number sequence, 111. In my book, 1:11 is a Biblical Quote in revelations about Jesus’s Second Coming. Also, scenes in my book occurred, years after I wrote about them in regard to characters in my book, besides my brother along with many other unexplainable signs and coincidences. For example, one afternoon, I was having lunch with my friend, Norell, a very beautiful, Spanish young woman with long black hair with an olive complexion, similar to Nia, a character in my book. She was playing with a necklace with a name on her neck. When I asked, what name was on it. She held it closer. The name was, “Nia.” A couple days later, I wrote the scene about a deer that is dying on the side of a road near Los Angeles. My phone rang. It was my brother, Tim. He told me that he just saw the strangest thing, a large deer, dying on the side of the road in the city. Yet, another example. My friend, Sharon, who is helping me with the story, said that we should have a symbol for the archangels, who are “undercover.” She suggested that they have tattoo wedding bands on their ring fingers. My friend, Norell, aka “Nia,” has a tattoo wedding band on her ring finger. Sharon and Norell do not know each other. Alright, now the really strange stuff, the strangest occurrences, besides the coincidences and things happening years later. Late at night, one night during a strong windstorm a few months ago, I saw something suddenly appear, standing near my upstairs bedroom window. He was very large, not a defined shape, and had a light around him. He had the form and size of a WWE wrestler. I shook my head, not believing what I was seeing and looked again. He was still there and, now, moving closer. I thought, “Oh…” and began to leave the room. But, something said to wait. I felt a power, something that is hard to describe, something magnificent and very, well, powerful. He stood before me, towering over me. He said, “It’s time” and then, just as he came, he disappeared. A couple night later, yes, there was another one. This one was large, too, but in a different sort of way. It, couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman, was white, looking like having wings but more like a bright light, enormous energy. The face was pure, similar to porcelain glass. This entity was looking out, toward the window, as if something was coming, being in a protective mode. From that point on, I thought more would come and “visit” or whatever… and one did. Something much more powerful than the two angels or whatever they were that I saw. And yes, He said something. If you believe I really encountered the first two entities, then the third you can figure out. What He said, unbelievably, is in the book, the very ending line from this Character. “… and Nia finally opened her locket. A picture of Jesus.”
