In the other parts of the Near East, particularly in Asia Minor, the same gloomy circumstances are starting to descend upon the lands of the other known faith. Aside from the threatening messages of the worldwide news about the many prophecies discussing in detail of the grim destiny of creation, there are many other faithful groups who are secretly hoping not to be immediately dealt with by the approaching events, but even their prudent response was disturbed by the inevitable signs of the impending doom to come in the most cruel times.
They are known in full name as the Ottoman Crescent Guild of St John's Cathedral of Smyrna, mostly the surviving entity that fought in the unavoidable events leading to the many periods of conflict in the era of the Crusades, organized to aid the synthesis of its aftermath, its significance, and eventual failure. Even the Turkish flag of the contemporary period has a symbol quite familiar to the "secrets of the Guild," a Crescent moon and a "guiding star" formed together on a red background, representing the major role that the faith has made with respect to the majesty of royalty and the established nobility known to exist in the various places on earth.
But, of course, all of the relevant narratives that will be discussed in liberty in this chapter (including the name of the Guild itself) was a result of diligent efforts to retrieve information from unconfirmed sources of myths and legends spanning across generations, mostly shared and written by the causes of the faithfully innocent minds, and probably by some other intellectuals who added their own interpretation to the stories, in the same manner that the canonical Gospels were written after it was preached by the named disciple to the four authorized books containing a version of the life and ministry of Christ, although with several noted inconsistencies due to the limitations of the methods and known processes of the art of communication.
There was a particular spoken word involved in this complicated process, most certainly so, and there are also printed testimonies that were written primarily as the living testament to the historicity of the facts that the recorded events towards salvation was, indeed, found to be a credible account. And while the covenant of the God of Abraham was actually witnessed by both rhetoric and literature, the accompanying divine revelation also used the instrumentality of the promised land as a converging point of all things that require adoration and thanksgiving. while God directs his most faithful to a specific sacred ground or location as the point of destination for this endless journey that humanity refer to as life.
By all means, man was taught fundamentally that life is about a sanctified journey with God, just as father Abraham obediently went on his way to a pilgrimage from ancient Mesopotamia (now consisting of modern Iraq) to the land of Canaan. Because of the legacy of this lasting obedience to the will of God, with the promise that his descendents will be as numerous as the stars on a dark, clear nightsky, the faith of man started its conscious effort to return back to his original design, and his ultimate intent to reside with God's dwelling place when the end of times finally begin to unravel when such act successfully achieves the fullness of the revered and dignified substance of the present mystery.
However, the tides are carefully starting to change, too; there are several signs in current affairs that cannot be overlooked nor recklessly disregarded. Even in its Islamic tradition, the Crescent Guild is starting to recognize the truth that is gradually taking place. Another version of the Crusades will patiently unfold, in a set of circumstances that is totally different from its originally manifested form, but quite of the same substance still. But in this particular style of the Crusades, it is not just the Holy Land which is the main subject of contention, but the entirety of life itself, eventually known in a matra of "finding order in the intrinsic disorder of faith."
Life and the associated organic materials consist of the fundamental elements of the physical composition of the earth; creation has always been held to be equal in value to the higher dignity of the soul itself. An individual must pay his mutual respect to his neighbor, and also to the same sacred content of all created things, including the abode of his environment. It is only in this common unity and harmony that life is able to ultimately sustain itself.
But this time around, Lucifer the Devil will create this potential Holy War as a universal battle among and between the diferent traditions of faith, love, peace, and the wholeness of material being. It is a time of endless purification, but in the way the Holy War must commence was not in this appointed time just yet; even the thought of a single sheep in danger can never be left behind, and the militant faith must do its part to help those poor souls who are still in need of such continued purification.
Satan believes that in sabotaging the messianic mission of the Lord, he is further insulting God's immense power as another way of desecrating the sacred role of the Cross, known in some parts of history as a barbaric Roman tool of the death penalty to be ever invented by humankind's eventual native cruelty.
But in death, one also finds the purpose to his own life, renewed and dignified. There is no absolute fear in death, and by the faculty of divine reasoning, perfect love drives out all fear.
The Ottoman Crescent Guild is cognizant of all the details surrounding this most secretive prophecy. On the other side of the perimeter, not far away from St John's Cathedral in Izmir, Turkey, the Members of the remnants of the Ottoman Guild oriented themselves towards the Kaaba to pray, taking with them all of the known characteristics of an Immaculate being.
