chapter chapter 3: 3: the the cross cross and and the the switchblade switchblade
it is a dreadful thing, brothers, to fall into the hands of the living god. for god is just- and righteous, and god will judge the people of this planet.
he will judge you!
the writer of hebrew says that if we deliberately go on sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, then no sacrifice for sin is left!
...only fearful expectation of judgement and raging fire for the enemies of god.
are you an enemy of god?
Man....
"it is mine to avenge," says the lord. "i will repay." do you know that every deed- every dirty joke, every curse- every lustful look you ever gave- all these are seen by god, and will be judged by him.
lookit this corny preacher, man.
sick of this, man. don't need to hear this.
maybe if you opened your ears, son, you might hear something you need.
yo preach! why don't you take your sorry ass off this street corner and go back to church, man.
nobody wants to hear you here.
unless you want to get judged by my axe, i suggest you take off.
these streets don't belong to you boy.
your soul doesn't even belong to you.
i'm a skull. heart. soul. everything belongs to the skulls.
that includes these streets.
remember that preach.
god knows. god is watching. god will judge.
get right brothers. go to god right now and confess to him. ask his son jesus to pay the price for you. it was finished on cross.
all it takes is for you to reach out your hand to him right now....
he will avenge.
he will repay.
count to three.
please...please don't do this. i'm new here... i don't...i don't know anything.
i warned you kid. i gave you good advice.
but you didn't listen to me. you went your own way.
get on your knees.
mr. blank...listen...i don't...i don't know anything about this.
i just did what they told me to do. please- this is my first job. i just got out of school.
i don't want to die.
if you're going to beg for your life kid, you'll have to be a lot more convincing than that.
when you get to hell, tell the devil...
...i'll see him soon.
SwissHHH!!!Swisshhhhh!!! SwissHHH!!!Swisshhhhh!!! Urkkk...
,.koff... ...koff...
fear not
son of man
you have been chosen
who..who are you?
an angel? man, that's trippy.
yo- so did you like- see a light and all that?
you sure you don't get high?
i thought i was going to die.
i thought my life was over.
maybe like- your life flashed before your eyes or something?
i couldn't move. couldn't do anything. except beg for my life.
i never want to be like that again.
if my people...who are called by my name...
...would humble themselves and seek my face....
angels man...that's crazy. you know-one time something like that happened to me though right-
i was hiking in the woods or something...and you know i was stoned or whatever....
hey markieyou're friend's back.
yo preach!!
i warned you man.
i don't answer to you boy.
now you're going to learn.
..and..uh, i end up getting lost, ok? and here i am on this mountain, and it's like winter time.
who really owns these streets....
YOU BETTER RUN.
coming for you preach.
THEY'RE GONNA KILL HIM. ..and like, i just went out there with a coat and maybe a joint or two.
gonna settle this once and for all.
i've got to help.
SO IT'S GETTING DARK RIGHT? AND I START TO THINK- IF I DON'T GET OUT OF HERE SOON...
GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
GONNA TEACH YOU.
okay boy.
TEACH ME.
BUT i got to warn you son....
THIS PREACHER...
KNOWS KUNG FU.
SMACK!!
WHOA.
I STARTED TO GET SCARED. EVENTUALLY...I GOT SO SCARED I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES AND STARTED TO PRAY.
"PLEASE GOD! GET ME OUT OF THISRIGHT? I'LL NEVER SMOKE POT AGAIN."
SO I GET UP AGAIN AND START WALKING...AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SEE THIS HOUSE.
can we let that go? ...uhhhh,,,hey joey- did the preach just take out markie?
judge judy's on man, i gots to go.
markie's a toolbut he's still a brother.
right there- in the middle of nowhere- on a freaking mountain top. so i go over right....
let's do this quick like.
i will avenge....
it is mine...
the door opens and....
thus says the lord.
and she asked me- "are you lost?" ...and this little old lady walks out. and like, i remember that it smelled like fresh baked cookies. and she was smiling at me, really happy like.
forgive them father...
...and forgive me for what i am about to do.
...won't...
...can't...
huhhhfff...
uuuhhh!
...never...
are you lost?
and i saidwell, yeah. and she- sheshe told me how to get home.
i guess i kinda thoughtmaybe that maybe she was an angel.
i don't know. maybe i was just stoned.
maybe god heard my prayer.
hello?
it's all finished here son.
are you..are you hurt?
"...and as for you, the watchman...their blood shall be on your hands...."
please...i need your help...i want to ask you a question....
wait!!!
please...I'm so confused....
"let he that seeks knowledge ask the lord...."
you.
i saw you before. near the bridge. you saved that girl.
you were a watcher.
passive. an observer.
though seeing, you did not see. though hearing, you did not hear.
you were a blind man, stumbling in the darkness....
...and then you saw the light...
have you ever considered....
...the possibility...
...that your life was spared for a purpose??
whoa.
that perhaps, your salvation was not some accident of fate...
but rather, the design of destiny?
how did you know?
how could you know what happened to me?
gimmie a break kid, i do read the paper.
life is full of mysteries, ray.
some people go their entire lives without ever figuring out what they were put on this earth to do.
some die; ignorant of purpose, of calling.
will you be one of those?
or will you be one of those special few....
the ones that discover who they really are.
the sleeper...that finally awakens.
the watcher...that finally takes action.
this is your invitation.
i will only make it once. if you want to know who you are...why you were made....
why your life was spared while other lives were taken....
then meet me at the top of the world.
one week from tonight. midnight.
who are you, ray danner?
who are you really?
i don't know.
