My name is Elizabeth, my last name isnt important. Whatsimportant? Whats important is that I tell his story, Pauls story. WhatIm about to tell you is neither a lie nor a joke, its real. What Imabout to tell you is very important. Paul was a man that knew he was

put on this earth for a reason, he just didnt know why. The year was1960 and everything imaginable was going on from Civil Rights toprejudice and segregation but little did the world know somethingamazing was about to happen. When Paul was 2 years old he wasdropped off in front of Saint Jews Foster Care Center in St. Louis MO.Little was known about Pauls parents at the time and this made Paulangry. He didnt know who or what he was although any orphanwould feel the same way and although Paul didnt know who he washe knew he was meant for something. Paul had a secrete, a secretesome would call fact while others would call it fiction, a secrete thatmade him famous when he got older. Paul thought he was cursed, healways thought that there were good curses and bad curses but allcurses had a consequence. Paul always wondered why when he was7 years old he fell off a tree and split his head open, most kids woulddie from an injury like that but Paul survived in less in a month! Paulalways wondered why when he was 14 he got hit by a car and the carbroke his leg in four places; most teens would need at least twomonths to heal, Paul recovered in less than twenty-four hours! Thedoctors were shocked, how could a regular kid recover that fast? Wasit good health or was it something else? What ever it was it was noshort of amazing and thats exactly how I would describe the next setof events. Paul had a friend named Ryan; he met Ryan at the FosterHome. Ryan was Pauls best friend and Ryans mother was like amother to Paul. She was his mentor, his teacher, and his friend; shedied of cancer when Paul turned 30. Ryan asked Paul to come overand keep him company and say his last words to his mother who was

lying in her bed. Paul walked into the room and saw her on the bedcold and lifeless. Paul walked up to her and started crying, tears randown his face like a waterfall. He sat next to her and took her coldhand, he then closed his eyes and prayed to God, he said why, why,God did you let this happen, I, I, .she was my teacher and mentor, she wasthe only mother I ever known and you took her away from me! I didnt knowwho I was but she taught me that even in the darkest of darkness theres

always light. She was my light and now that light is gone, what do I donow? God I know this is impossible but, but can you give me a sign, a signto let me know that everything will be ok, please God please!Impossible,thats what Paul said but what happened next was just that,

impossible. Suddenly Paul felt fingers moving, what he thought washis own was actually hers! He then felt his hand get warmer andwarmer, Paul looked up and saw her moving! Paul called Ryan intothe room and they both watched in disbelief as their mother rosefrom the dead! Her eyes opened and she started crying tears of joy asdid her sons. It was amazing; a 64-year-old woman who died ofcancer suddenly came back to life. This was all over the news; somethought it was the work of God while others thought it was justmagic. Paul was skeptical; he listened to all the doctors as they cameup with several different reasons why a person who may look deadcan actually not be dead at all. Paul thought it was fake too, but healso thought maybe just maybe he made his best friends mothercome back to life. A few weeks later Paul went out for a walk to thinkthings over, he sat in the park for a while. As he sat in the park hesaw a bird with a broken wing on the ground and it looked like itwas about to die. Paul picked it up and knew the bird didnt havemuch time left so he whistled a melody to the bird. The melodywasnt from a movie, song or TV show but a melody that wouldsoothe even the worst ears. The melody must have been some form ofmagic because just seconds later the birds wing was healed and itflew away! Paul was now more than ever a believer; he knew thatthis wasnt just magic. Paul still wanted to see if he was the one soa few months later Paul went out to the edge of the Mississippi Riverand thought to himself what if I could walk on it. Paul then took offhis shoes and began to walk across the river and he was astounded,the water was cold but Paul wasnt falling, he was walking on thewater like it was the ground. It was almost like this water; this riverwas made for him. As Paul walked back he saw a boat full of fishersand they were in shock at what they were seeing. Soon all around thecountry Paul was known as the modern day messiah and this gotPaul thinking could I be the reincarnation of Christ. Paul knew he hada gift but to be sure Paul decided to go across seas to the city ofNazareth in Isreal to find out anything he could about his parents

and this is where I met him. I worked as a carpenter, the work washard but it paid enough, Nazareth was an ok place to live but it couldbe better a lot better. I saw him walking into the main parts of thecity. He looked like a man that was looking for something but didnt

know what he was looking for. We met that evening, he asked me fora place to stay and I let him stay with me and it was these days andnights that made me realize Paul was an amazing man, he spoke in apoetic way that made him seem to know everything about anything.The year was 1993 and Paul had lived with me in Nazareth for over ayear and was still searching for any clue about who his parents were.One day Paul finally found what he was looking for because thatnight Paul came home and told me that he had made a hugediscovery. Paul told me that he had went to an old church outside ofthe city and found an old piece of the Old Testament and found outthat it was actually a missing piece. The missing piece read The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart,and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in hisheart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. I shallbe with my father after the great storm passes and on the third day I shall raise and two thousand years later I shall have a reincarnationof myself and he shall do my fathers will. Paul then found out froman old minister that this was actually a part of a letter that Jesushimself wrote. The minister also gave Paul a letter that explained ingreat detail the secrete of Pauls parents. The letter read To my best

friends son, Paul Im telling you this because youre parents would want me to.Your mothers name was Mariann but we all called her Mary and your fathers name was Abraham. You were born in this church purposely away from the public and heres why. Before you were born your mother had a dream and in this dream she said God spoke to her. She said God told her that she was going to have a special son, a son that was going to be the reincarnation of his only son, Jesus! Yourmother told the entire city about this, she knew it was true while others feared this and thought this was a trick by the devil. A clan of assassins came together and thought it was best to kill Mary and her unborn baby but when your mother had you she had to make the ultimate sacrifice, she died hours after giving birth to you.Soon after your father took you away from here and took you to the United States where you could live a safe and peaceful life and soon after unknown assassins killeyour father. Paul my dear boy, now you know the truth and please I beg you to

leave this place. God gave you this gift for a reason, I dont know why but you are the one that can show this modern day world that God is real. As Paul finishedreading the letter he began to cry and I began to comfort him. Itwas like a heavy weight was lifted and yet an even bigger one was

put on him. Paul didnt know why he was given this gift but hedidnt care at this point. That night was a night to rememberbecause it was the night Paul told me that he loved me. I thought,finally he said it and I also thought about what they say about loveat first sight, its true. I loved Paul so much, not because of his giftbut because he was a gift to me. Ive waited so long for a man likePaul to come and talk me and share my interests and have a lovefor me that could only be matched by the love of God! I said thatnight was a night to remember because in the middle of the night

Paul woke up and looked like he had seen a ghost. He told me thathe had a dream and in this dream God actually spoke to him. Hetold me God said My son, I know youre scared but Im here to tell you I gave you this gift for two reasons. The first reason is because I needed someone to show this new world the light. With all the wars and hate going on I needed someone to do what Christ did. Which is to show love, peace, and compassion and that is what I need you to do. I need you to show love, peace, and compassion, show it through my eyes. The second reason I chose you is because your mother and father died for you and for my message to be heard. Now, there is a man named Father Moore, he is the Prime Minister of Nazareth. He has become ill with cancer and will die in a week unless you heal him. You have the

power to heal him that is why Im giving you this choice. Its your decision but Im also here to warn you of the dangers of Nazareth because after two thousand years people are still simple minded and dont believe in my word or in me. Paul then asked me who Father Moore was. I told him FatherMoore was elected Prime Minister of Nazareth two years ago andsince then Nazareth has become a place of hate and confusion. Hesmade laws against paying lower class workers like me and heseven killed several people and children for disobeying him andsince hes the head of the government theres no stopping him.After I told Paul this, he knew he had a default decision to make.He could either heal a modern day Hitler or save Nazareth byallowing Father Moore to die but in doing this Paul could besentenced to death! The day finally came when one of Father

Moores men came and asked Paul to come with him. By this timeeveryone in Nazareth knew about Paul and his secrete. A few hourslater Paul came back and told me after a heated argument Pauldidnt heal Father Moore, I embraced Paul with a hug and kiss. I

was happy for Paul and for Nazareth but at the same time I wasstill worried but I didnt care, Paul did what he thought was rightand thats why I loved him. Three days later Paul and I shared ourfinal dinner; afterwards Paul sat me down and said that he couldntlive without me. He said that if it was possible he would trade thisgift for the greatest gift of all, me. Paul then bent down with tearsin his eyes and said the words will you marry me my dear sweet Elizabeth? Without hesitation I said yes, his words and my replywere like music to my ears there was nothing that could break this

moment. Until we get a knock at the door and suddenly four mencame in the house and took Paul away! I kept asking whats going on, why are you doing this and the only words I heard were Paulsas he said I love you! They took Paul away to the capital building and they put Paul in jail for two weeks. Those were the longest twoweeks of my life. Everyday people from all over the world came tomy house asking about Paul, it was as if he was like some kind ofcelebrity. After two weeks Paul had his day in court and it wasbroadcast all over the news and after a long trail they found Paul

guilty of fraud and murder. The judge said If your are thereincarnation of Jesus why didnt you heal Father Moore. Youvebeen here for two weeks and youve said nothing in you defense,which means you must have came here to purposely kill Father Moore. You are a liar and you are not the new god. As the prime judge of Nazareth I sentence you to death for fraud and murder! Those were the most harmful words Ive ever heard. They weregoing to kill Paul because God chose him and he didnt save FatherMoore. One day later Paul was taken to a room and in this room

was seven men with guns ready to kill. As his fiance I was askedto attend but I didnt want to go to such a massacre instead Iwatched from a special room. From beginning to end I cried, everybullet that went into his body I felt, every moan and scream hemade I heard and every tear he shed they were shed be me as well.A total of sixteen bullets went into Pauls body sixteen, bullets thatwere never meant to be there. When Paul died I think apiece of me


8/9

died too, I felt dead and cold inside; I had just lost the best thing that ever happened to me. The way I see it Paul knew what he wasgetting in to when he went to Father Moore. Three days later Ireceived a letter, it was a letter Paul had written to me the day

before he died. The letter read Dear Elizabeth,I write this to you as a friend and your gift to the world. As you know Im about die and

please, please dont cry, if you do let it betears of not sorrow but of joy. I know this is not right but I did what I thought was right. I let aman die but only to save many more, I thought

to myself why should I let a man full of sin live.God gave me this gift to help and saveNazareth and you. Gods gift to you was I and Gods gift to me was you. Please my dear sweet Elizabeth dont worry about me causesoon Ill be with my mother and father inheaven. God gave me this gift to show thisworld that God is still real as is his message.That is why I need you to go and spread Godsword, this world still needs saving and after two thousand years its time for a change. Tellthe world about me, put hope in all who fear it and make believers out of the non- believers. Ilove with all my heart Elizabeth, I will miss youbut I will always be with you. Seeing is

believing and I thank you for believing in me asI believed in you!

Love, Paul, your modernday Messiah
