The Seeds page 1
January 31, 2010McKenna Brothers were not new to the neighborhood. They were considered strange by those who knew them. It wasn’t until they announced that they were going to go on a quest that people began to really talk. It was a quest for telepathy, time travel and discovery of ancient texts ….hexigrams…and patterns that correlate with world events. These were the works of two brothers, known mainly for their psychedelic drugs. Little bothered them as they pursued the truth of man’s destiny through predictions of things to come. These predictions led to significant dates of 1945 and the future date of Dec. 2012. Time wave theory.. microchips…internet….2012 or 2060 had a connections. Paradigms…trends…analaysis …interpretations that they believed were leading all people into the last days.
“Katrina…911…and Earthquakes…bank failures…mass unemployment….collapse of the housing market.” Charlie said aloud.
These defining words rang in Charlie McKenna’s head frequently now. He was moving from Israel to Norway because he wanted to be a part of the seed vault, better known as the Doomsday Seed Vault. It was his job to catalog the seeds arriving from all over the world. These seeds would give the survivors of the great world devastation to come a chance to rebuild the human existence.
Often Charlie poured over the writings of great men such a Isaac Newton, renowned scientist and mathematician who had studied the Holy Scriptures for texts that would give him clues to God’s prophecies. He felt that humanity should know what these mean. Being obsessed with this and fearful of retribution by the Church for heresy, he kept all his calculations secret. Recently, Charlie had heard that a box had surfaced at Sotheby’s Auction House in London with Newton’s writings. Part of these writings were sold to a Palestinian Jew who kept them hidden until his death. They were given to the new state of Israel and are there today.
Before leaving Israel, Charlie went to the Dome of the Rock at the Temple Mount. Kneeling there, he prayed that God would give him a new change in life and the world a chance to overcome the great battle of Armageddon and the terrors of the Anti-Christ. Picking up his books, suitcase and passport, he headed to Norway.
The plane flew low and circled the area to land. It was cloudy…extremely cloudy and the snow lay packed against the walls of the cliffs looming high against the sky. Charlie could see the rows of brightly colored houses from the air. This was Svalbard Global Seed Vault situated near the North Pole, yet still part of Norway. It would be extremely interesting to see this vault deep inside the mountain. The plane found the small runway on which to land and Charlie could see a tall figure walking toward the plane.
“You are Charlie McKenna?” the man asked.
”Yes, I am and happy to finally be here.”
“Well, you are going to need something warmer than you have on up here! Oh, by the way, I am Ashton Fox. I was sent out here to bring you down into the tomb.”
“The tomb?”
“Yeh, you’ll find out later about that. Follow me. “
