Pastor Brooks: “I have worked hard to keep this flock from being persecutes needlessly and in one fell sweep, you dad could put them all in danger. I am trying to save their lives. There is no way your Dad could get 600 people out of here, without the authorities knowing. By doing so he even put the ones that chose not to go in danger. Don’t think any man should take that much upon himself that he would put these others in danger also.”

Jim and jenny hears a siren and looks up and everyone isgetting off the road.

It is obvious that these authorities are in a magnificent hurry.

Jim and Jenny runs a short distance back to the church door and the authorities are screaming form them
to stop as they chase them.

They make it up stairs and to the open doors just in time to see the last church members seemingly walk right through the back wall of the church.

They stop startled. The authorities catch up with them and notice that they are looking at the back of the church.

The Authorities search through ever room and place to hide in the whole church complex.

Rodger Schwartz arrives and questions Pastor Brooks and the pastor began to stutter in his words.

Jim and Jenny are also with pastor brooks and were asked if they knew what he called authorities for

Jenny: “Well, you know how the pastor has cooperated with authorities. It may just be too stressful on him trying to keep all the members of one mind.”

Rodger Schwartz: “you are aware that the former pastor was executed today.” 

With that admission, Jim and Jenny immediately sat up straight.

Rodger Schwartz: “Your pastor seems to be one of those with the good sense to cooperate with what is new in the world. Take care of him.”

Pastor Brooks just sat there astonished.

Rodger Schwartz then took his men and left the church.

Jenny: " Does that mean that Dad is dead and came to take the others?”

Jim: “Dad didn’t believe it that. It appears that he escaped some how.”

Jenny: “Then if God indeed saved them, he was in the right and we were in the wrong.”
