Outside the walls of the city people have gathered on a small hill ... some are weeping, some are yelling epithets, some are in shock .. the few soldiers that are there stay back but view the scene looking for and expecting trouble ...
Four or five women are gathered together at the centre of the congregation but removed from the general gathering ...
Some people are sitting on the ground ... some are sitting on horse and donkeys .. most are wearing kaftans and head dresses ...
The gathering is quiet ... so quiet you can hear a pin drop ... the day is overcast and storm is looming ... they are straining to hear the words spoken by someone elevated above them ... he is speaking Aramaic ... or as close to Aramaic as he can get as it is not his native language ...
'farmer ... get him .. he knows what to do ... ' and then a few seconds later ... 'in two days I'll be back' ... and then noticing how stricken everyone was, 'hold on .. there will be another' ...
'Good, good, ... don't weep for me' .... and then ... 'I will reverse' ... followed by, 'it is not over' ... and finally, finally seeing him, 'Farmer ... all of this is now in your hands' ... and then the man, having just spoken these words ... dies ...
There was a loud keening wail from the women gathered around the man who had just passed ... the soldiers approached the women and move past them to make sure he was dead ... the soldiers retrieved the body and turned it over to the women ... with help from the others, they received the body and transported it to a catacomb already prepared for the interment ..
The body was placed on a stone ledge in the catacomb and a stone rolled in place to seal the entrance ... the women wept openly and had to be assisted from the burial site ... inside the catacomb ... 'It' would recover from the crucifixion within two days and would be seen leaving the catacomb and then rising up to his 'transport' ...
The year is 33 AD ... the city walls are those of Jerusalem ..
What the folks gathered around 'It' actually understood when he was speaking was not what he said ... it was this ...
'Father forgive them for they know not what they do'
'Today you will be with me on paradise'
'Behold your son; behold your mother'
'My god, my god, why have you forsaken me'
'I thirst'
'It is finished'
'Father, into your hands, I commit my spirit'
Oh ... the Farmer ... that was Jesus' nickname for John ...
To quote from verse 33 of the Krome Koan,
' ... why do psychics have to ask for your name ... '
