One: The millenial apocalyse has been delayed it seems?
Two: It is a misreading. We did not take into consideration that JC was born in April 6BC, or that he died around 33AD. So in fact, the Christian Era actually started in 33AD-6BC = 27AD, which means that the real Millennium is 2027 and not 2000.
One: Gee, I mean, Gosh. That sounds right!
Two: Consider the new Idolatry that is emanating in popular culture. Heard the news last week?
One: Yeah, you must be talking about the terrible upset on Fox's American Idol? The punting prophets were predicting Adam's win?
Two: Yes, it was the sign of the Times...
[now, a third joins them in their ride on the LA bus towards the modern EMMAUS cafe next to the Nokia Theatre]
Third: Hi there. You heading near West Hollywood? Might I join your chat?
Two: Sure.
One: Of course, where abouts are you from?
Third: Just arose from the East, and decided to come down. Town seemed awfully quiet.
One: Are you kidding? Where on earth have you been. You must have been buried these past week, dude!
Two: Haven't you heard all the buzz about what has happened all over America?
Third: Oh, you must mean about President Obama's controversial address at Notre Dame?
One: That was nothing, dude. No one really cares about abortions or embryonic stem cell discussions: that sort of thing does away after a while.
Two: Tell him, dude!
One: We were discussing real news, man. About American Idol's results and the upset win! No one saw that coming. Even after Danny Gokey got kicked off! Who could have predicted any of these things.
Two: I sure lost my money on that! After Dan, the prophecy was all off. How do you explain that. He was really good, you know, wife was Sophie - that was Greek right, for "wisdom" or something?
Third: I see. Why did all these events surprise you? Was it all not according to the old prophecies?
One: Well, that was what the elders taught but the results - what happened - just too upsetting. Adam was meant to win!
Two: Yeah, you know - Simon, the Rock of Rockstars, Idol-maker, even believed in Adam.
One: Even Paul-la, you know the evangelist to all things Gentile, sort of proclaimed she was a fan of Adam's forever.
Two: Yeah, even the other two - Gioguardi - what John, the guardian? - kinda of like a woman in bikini that ran off stage at the results show, also said she was a follower of Adam's.
One: Yes, even that man, Jack-Son, with the first name of R-Andy - I thought he was related to Andrew or John, right, said Adam was always "in the Zone", up there, right in the lights and hazy cloud, descending in a white garment that was just dazzling as he sang out with a booming voice those lyrics from Tears For Fears. Very emanating, man!
Two: I think that Gioguardi person called Adam "Rock God". He even sings like the "Sound of Gaudi", eclectic shrieks and all...
Third: I thought you said that Simon was the Rock?
Two: Yeah, but Adam was a Rock God, totally.
Third: Any chance you want to hear what I think?
One: What you have got to say, buried-and-risen Man From The East?
Third: You almost got me there! How did you guess? Well, here's what I think you forgot to consider...
Two: Speak man!
Third: Well, a season ago, you must remember that it happened to pass, in the heavens of new Pop Stars, the conjunction of two Davids - the Cook and the Archer-letta (ie. small archer) - in the Finale, right?
One: Yeah, one David was a bar-tender, and the other a schoolboy or something -
Two: Yeah, he was from the Salt Lake, a follower of the angel Moroni. He sings with a dead "C".
Third: Er, well, okay. But the two Davids were meant to signal that the Time has Come. That the final battle would occur after another season.
One: What you mean, now?
Third: Did you know what Malachi said, or Eye-shy-Yah, or Jerry Meyer?
Two: The famous prophet, you mean - "I-Sigher", who said: Out of Jesse, a young shoot?
Third: Sort of; that indicated that after the season of David, the next would be the trial of the Great King.
One: Wow, that's an idea. How does that fit in between Danny, Kris and Adam. Adam was still meant to win, right?
Third: It had seemed so. Adam was the Original Choice, as Simon the Rock had assumed. But all Judges had failed to consider the Apocalyse of Daniel regarding the appearance of the Son of Man, as victor in the end.
Two: You mean, like when Danny sang "Jesus Take The Wheel" as everyone as drunk with liberty, freedom, and gay marriage rights and only the J-Man was left as the designated driver of humanity Fate? But the J-Man left the scene. All we had heard after that was that Rock was in and Gospel was out.
One: Yeah, Rock on!
Third: Wait a minute, guys! You folks were just standing on the wrong Rock and did not see what you were standing on. That Son Of Man Danny the prophet sang about, before he got voted off, was inspired by Wisdom - you know, his wife as she was called in Greek, Sophie? Wisdom inspired Danny to prophesy: it would be a battle between the Kingdom of Old and the Kingdom of New.
One: I don't get it.
Two: No, I think I see. You are saying that according to Simon the Rock, it was expected that Adam the Rock God, Original Man designated by All to Win, would emerge the winner, but...
Third: But there would be a new Man, a Christ, or called Kris, of a new order. It would be not about the old theatrics, not about shrieking kings of old dressed in drag and wearing eyeliner, with men kissing men on billboards or hitting high notes like Eunuchs in paradise. What was to come, according to the Davids and the Daniel, would be a naked Kris, plain and unadorned, who would be bethrothed even before he would be known to all, to that which is "Pure", which in Greek is called Katy.
One: So, this Kris, would be a pure Man? Like Simple, Humble, Honest, guy-next-door sort of way?
Third: Yes, Christ would be espoused to all that is Katy, or Pure.
Two: Wow. You have a great imagination, man!
Third: Yes, that is pretty Creative, or how else could we have all this diversity in the Universe?
One: That is so true, dude! I like you. Tell us more!
Third: Well, Idols in America is not new, as you know. Young Americans have already abandoned what they call the old way for the Rock Gods, of which Adam represents the Original Concept.
One: Like sin?
Two: Like sin!
Third: Rather, "they like sin".
One: Oh, wow. It's all becoming clear to me.
Two: You shed some light, man! Tell us more!
Third: So, after Danny had been cast out by vote, out of the pan into the fire (where he met his other friends), the battle for the crown would be between Adam - the Anti-cipated Idol and Rock God and Kris - whose surname Alan or Allen in Breton means "small rock", similar in Latin to petrus, like Peter. Danny "go-key" surely passed those votes off Simon, who did not take those "gold keys" as seriously as he should have.
One: Really!
Third: So, it was meant to pass that unknown to all, Kris The Small Rock, who came from Little Rock, Arkansas, would be like that pebble David would use in his slingshot to fell the Goliath - you know, the Giant of the Philistines - the heathens! That is what New Life is all about, that is what it is "With The Way", con-way, you know. Or as they say in that University of Central Arkansas campus, "Chi Alpha" - which is Christ the First, for short in Greek: that Kris would be first, or the "winner"!
Two: Amazing man!
Third: Amazingly grave! This Kris would rise up, unexpected, from his humble Origins, Pure and seemingly unworthy, to throw down all of America's expectations and strike at the heel of the Rock God's Ironclad stronghold. This same Kris The Small Rock would replace Adam as the First Born of the new Creative soft Rock scene. It is, was it was written, as it was meant to be.
One: And herald in a new Age? The Science was all there, all along!
Third: He may bring out the Finale to American Idol by smashing once and for all what the Idol stands for, contradicting Simon's cowing from beneath his cowl and all cowering about Adam. Kris will be Katy - I mean Pure - and like an unblemished Lamb, renew all of Creative hope, with soft singing instead of shrieking and grinding of teeth. Here, let me share this tune from Kris...
One: "Wastin' Time"?
Third: Totally. But I don't mind.
Two: "Brand New Shoes"?
Third: Only for Simon to step into; he'll have to review what it means to be a fishin' for new Divos after this.
One: "Beautiful Moon"?
Third: Okay, what I meant to share was "To Make You Feel My Love", "Come Together"...
One: "Ain't No Sunshine...." tonight!
Two: (I think I am...) "Falling Slowly"
Third: Be "Fearless"...
One & Two [Together]: It is you! "How Good It Is To Be Loved By You"!
Third: I have to go now...
One & Two: No, stay. Don't go, please don't go. KC. We'll be your Sunshine Band!
[the third gets off the ride and quickly disappears from their sight]
Two: Man, didn' you feel really weird?
One: Yeah, while he was speaking, I felt my hair stand on its end. It was like the softest rock being sung, soothing, listenable, likeable and totally calming!
Two: Got a fire burning in me for more!
One: Made me think of "The Way You Look Tonight".
Two: Chilling.
One: No, I meant like "What's Going On?"
Two: Whoah! I think we better head back to tell the others! Let's check first with Ryan John Seacrest...
One: Did you know Ryan was born on 24 December 1974?
Two: Boy, you mailto:#@%21% me not! Look, there's the man...
One: OK: hey, Ryan - secrets' out!
