He paused for a moment so I could respond.

I did not know what to say, and my mouth blurted out, “Why me? What you are telling me is astounding if it is true.”

The Sufi continued, “Professor, the author of this codex, was the favourite of Lord Yeshua. The author’s mother was Lady Miriam the Blessed, the matron falsely demeaned by the Disciples and Rabbis and called a harlot. She was not a harlot, nor was she Jewish. She was a well-educated Egyptian philosopher-physician from Alexandria who lived in Caesarea when Yeshua returned to his homeland.

“The father of her son was a Roman physician who had been posted to Caesarea by Emperor Augustus. The father’s family was highly respected in Rome as he descended from the great Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. A few years after the family arrived in Caesarea, the father died during an expedition further to the East. As the family was quite wealthy, losing a father and husband was a heart tragedy only.

“Much of this story is contained within this codex, which you must read and translate into English. You appreciate that Lord Isa founded an esoteric school around Lady Miriam and her son. Lord Yeshua called their son Gabriel Baal Eyt. Gabriel was charged by the Lord to witness his upcoming ministry and summarise the One Church’s Ancient Teachings.”

I could hardly restrain myself, “You are telling me this codex is an eyewitness account of his ministry? Jesus also taught theology? It is impossible. How could such a Gospel remain hidden for two thousand years?”

Sheik Jalāl, smiling, replied, “Sister, the world was not ready for the entire Teachings of Lord Yeshua when he was alive. The world remains still under the control of Iblis and his demons. So, the time to give this to the world may not have come yet. But there is no other alternative. Mankind must choose or die. Lord Gabriel provided us with the signs of when his Gospel should be introduced to the world. And I see that the time has come.

“Allow me to relate how this Holy Codex came into my hands. The first one to hide and guard this codex was the essence friend of Lord Gabriel, the beloved spiritual son of Christ. Close to the time of Gabriel’s disappearance, he gave the book to one of his most trusted students to guard and protect. The codex was to remain secret until it was necessary to reveal the real-life Teachings of Christ. This man, may Allah have perpetual Mercy on his soul, accepted this codex, which has been handed down faithfully to those who guard the codex. It has been protected by Rabbis, Priests, and Imams in many countries. I am the last in the line of such guardians. You, Professor, are the next chosen one.

“You will guard this book until a young boy who has known the Father in Heaven is introduced to you. He is the one Allah revealed this codex to the world. You will find him and his gender half one day in Puerto Rico. You will know the pair by the glowing radiance of their love for each other. It will be most unusual.

You must promote this love between them, for the Child is the eternal enemy of the Djinn Iblis. And to survive, this Child must know absolutely that his gender half is with him always. The Child would give up his Immortality to protect his true love.”

When he finished, the Sufi handed me the coveted codex, saying, “May Allah guard you always. May you find the boy and his Beloved when the time has come. Tell no one of my visits and keep this codex locked and well-guarded. The future of mankind is at stake.” 

And the Sufi stood up and blessed me.

“So, you now know why I am in Puerto Rico. It is to prepare and teach you, Ezer-el, of your past. For the Lord is your beloved Saviour and your Divine Friend, separate and together continuously.

“Do you understand, Child,” asked Sister Agnes Louise?

“Yes, Sister. But you are speaking words I have never heard and understand. Why is this so?”

“Once, you told me it was a special gift from the Holy Ghost, the Holy Daughter, Lady Ariel.”

 Sister Anna Marie answered, “Sweetheart, it is the same with me. She knows your body is a child, but your soul is very advanced.”

Sister Agnes Louise replied, “I have said enough for your child. It is time for you to return. You must go to his mother and request that he can live with you. I know Sister Theresa will not object. You must teach him to read. You must always be with him so he knows your love is unconditional. Our beloved Child will be misunderstood and attacked. He is strong because of your love for him. He is your Child, Father, Brother, and Eternal Spouse. Do you understand, Sister?”

Sister Anna Marie answered, “Yes, Sister. Miguel is my other half, and I love him beyond human understanding. He is still a child, but his love for me is beyond Time Itself. Sometimes, I feel he loves me as Holy Father loves Holy Mother.”

Sister Anna Marie took me by the hand, and we returned to her home.
