Prologue
David the Wise. King David, King of Klal Israel, who now, under judgement of the God's of Zaphon, were all Noahides, as the God's tolerated no other religion from Jehovah, but one, in the legal judgements of the Court for the establishment of competition in the soon adventing Eternal Terran Plain, according to the legislative interpretations of the 'Manifesto of Acceptable Competitive Practices', and allowing but one, only the original avenue of faith could be permitted. And not even the most urgent cry of love from the Rabbis of Worshipping Glory could be allowed, for it was but the Adamic-Noahic Covenant community which was tolerated by the God's. All things since then were just pale copies by Jehovah of the original revelation of his faith.
Thus Noah reigned supreme.
And the first of the trials of David was this. How on earth could a sovereign King of Israel get along with the princely schmuck, his older brother by one birth position in the hierarchy of Cherubim Glory, Callodyn the Impossible? How on earth could he and Daniel ever get along as, now, Daniel had all the glory as a Noahide and ruler of 7DF under the tutelage of Cherubim Daniel Daly, 347 on the cherub list, but a quieter competitor in the grand game, 7DF being the largest and most official of the Noahide organisations. How could he possibly ever hope to get along, especially as Daniel had requested David's presence and that they work together as a team to put the God's in their place. He wanted to get along and work it out with the Jewish schmuck in his own words, now that the faith community was one.
How on Earth could David's pride ever tolerate such a reality?
Time would tell, soon enough indeed.
PART ONE
THE ETERNAL TERRAN PLAIN
Chapter One
'I've fucking had enough,' said Jesus. 'Enough. Enough, enough, enough, enough, enough. My fucking fill.'
Jenny Cheetham was not impressed. Her twin was rarely given to swearing.
'And now he pulls the fucking plug, just when it looks like I might finally get some Christ status going,' said Jesus.
She smiled, and hugged him, but he wouldn't be consoled.
5 hours later, in downtown Cooma on Earth, sitting in the Cooma Library, an Earth based on early 21st Century realities, the chosen epoch, Jesus still hadn't calmed down much. The theophany walked in, and returned a library book, much to the giggles of the female librarians, and spied his Cherubim son.
'Yo, Yesh.'
'Humph,' said Jesus, but softened immediately.
'What do you want?' moaned Jesus.
God looked at his son.
'Are you over it, then? Finally had enough power mad crusades?' asked God.
'I guess so,' responded Jesus.
'Well? Have you?'
'Yeh. Sure. Whatever.'
'Right. Good o, then. Time for you to get your first job from me then.'
Jesus looked at him. 'Uh, wha? You've never given me a task.'
'Didn't need you till now. Let you do your own thing for a while. But it's a pretty bloody busy future, and I need a trained theologian.'
Jenny Cheetham looked at God. 'What on earth could you possibly want Jesus of Nazareth for?'
God looked at her, and smiled warmly. 'Hello Jenna. Nice to meet you again.' He turned to Jesus. 'The North Pole is the REAL capital, when it all comes down to it lad. It's where the real power of Eternity lies. I don't let many know this?'
'David? Have you told David?'
'No,' said God.
'Callodyn? Have you told Callodyn.'
'No,' said God.
'Who have you told?' asked Jesus.
'Just Gabriel of Eternity.'
Jesus looked at God and looked at his twin, and smiled for once. 'What do you want from me?'
'It's a challenge running it all. IF you've grown up, they need a big brother. Someone with a heart of Gold to get them out of their shit. And you'll need an official congregation of workers.'
'What did you have in mind?' asked Jesus, now smiling quite a bit.
'Churchy type people,' said God. 'Lovebugs. You know the type?'
'Does this organisation have a name?'
'Kingdom Soldiers. I need a field marshall. Will you do the job?'
'What do I call them?' asked Jesus.
'Their names, you idiot. But they have ranks in the Kingdom. I'll leave it with you, then. And remember, the North Pole is ALL the power in the end. Secure wise abodes and addresses. I'll leave that up to you. So, I can leave that with you? Don't need to spell out details do I?'
'No. No you don't,' said Jesus of Nazareth.
God turned to leave, and then he turned back to him.
And he said oh, so, very, very, softly. 'Good work kid. You made your old man proud.'
And he left.
And Jesus of Nazareth was on top of the world.

'Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel. Whatever shall we do with Gabriel of Eternity?'
'Shaddup Ambriel,' said Gabriel.
'Big brother, what is that document you have been hiding all week? Please enlighten me.'
Gabriel sat in the dining room of Terraphon Keep in the Realm of Eternity, looking carefully at his brother Ambriel.
'It's a different document to Raphael's. I will admit that. I am sure he has shown you his, but I shall not show you mine.'
'Ooh la la,' said Ambriel. 'I should sweet talk Aquariel into getting you to confess.'
'Ha, that old witch,' said Gabriel.
'I here you two are currently married?' queried Ambriel, suddenly concerned.
'Don't remind me,' said Gabriel. 'She's hell.'
'Spill the beans, bro,' said Ambriel, cradling up next to Gabriel and exhibiting the usual love that Ambriel was so famous for.
'You have your own letter, I am sure,' said Gabriel. 'I am dutifully informed to the limits of the Saruvim themselves, have all the children of Eternity been addressed by our father.'
'Yours smells good,' said Ambriel, who was a little jealous. 'I mean, I loved mine, but you've got something special there. Callodyns? Bweh. Smelt horrible.'
'I read Callodyn's, actually,' said Gabriel. 'The smell is perfectly natural for the job at hand, and his reward is ample enough. He certainly did not complain to me, and said he was absolutely thrilled with his charter.'
'Lucky devil,' said Ambriel, spying Gabs document, but bumbled off, looking for Aquariel and their agreed upon lunch date out by the Sellawon.
Gabriel, naturally, had read his charter a number of times. He was informed somewhat the Jesus had similar instructions, and that he was to look out for Jesus, when it all came down to it. But some of the private info near the end of his charter. My God, had he been blessed above and beyond his brethren. Very key data, in fact. Good stuff to know.
Life was good at the moment. They had been summoned to Eternity by God who wished Angels at Call of Duty for a while, and their official Charter's of Eternity had now been given. They had their disc of overseersmanship, and numerous new portals to the Eternal Terran Plain had been established. Now, in a very real sense, eternity had finally begun. Countless beginnings, it really seemed, and their had been. But their had been a point all along, and Gabriel now saw that point. Authentication of all the Realms and Worlds of God through some very real living experiences. But the ultimate world had dawned, and he was ready. He was most definitely ready for his new beginning.
* * * * *
'So, Daniel. Your retired then,' said his father Cyril.
'Yep,' replied the 347th of the Cherubim. 'Officially last week when I was given my charter. Callodyn and Daniel have 35 years more service, then likewise.'
'Ambitions?' asked Cyril.
'Adventures in Tuggeranong,' said Daniel. 'I have practically unlimited funds, and the Trials of Eternity end here for this puppy. Game over. That's the end of Daniel Daly.'
Cyril smiled. His son was ever the joker.
* * * * *
Life goes on, as it invariably does, and King David began his work. Getting along with Callodyn, whose Charter was short, but whose intentions were epochal in length.
SCOPE OF THE CHRONICLES OF THE TRIALS OF DAVID
The beginning of the Eternal Terran Plain phase of life in the Eternal World is what all have waited for, in many ways, for so long. The God's of Destiny have finally agreed upon Zaphon in the heavenlies to be their seat of council, and they work with the United Nations and the International Court of Law to bring law and administer justice in the Eternal Terran Plain. Legislative principles derived from the Manifesto of Acceptable Competitive Practices include: Maximum city sizes, population densities and building heights; the maximum number of agreed nations which may be created (set at a Googolplex for the Eternal Terran Plain, with sub-dominions of established nations allowed in new territories); the Maximum number of monetary currencies (set at 5000); strict laws relating to inflation and deflation principles; laws pertaining to the limits of valid racial identity and expression; extremely strict rules as to what can be constituted as legal military warfare (with nuclear weapons prohibited, but other forms of combat permitted in legal situations); laws pertaining to the limits of evangelistic persuasion in media and personal witness; a position of honour afforded 'Earth' as the head seat of the United Nations; Sanctions against nations legislation pertaining to the lack of prosperity for its citizenship (with the abilities of other nations to usurp affected sub-dominions of nations legally failing their responsibilities); extremely strict boundary laws; and other assorted legislations. In these initial years, King David reluctantly works with Callodyn for the most part to establish the modus operandi of the Kingdom of God in its understanding and administration of all key issues in the building of the Eternal world. David's wisdom is called upon time and time again to ensure the Kingdom of God effectively competes with the nations of the God's of Destiny and, ultimately, to prevail – for the honour of Jehovah demands such a result. The Chronicles of the Trial's of David takes place over a period of about 100,000 years.
