WATCH OUT the rock is falling, run, run!! Dallas turned and looked up and saw the huge boulder falling and it was falling straight toward him. He took five quick steps to the right so the boulder would miss him. It only missed him by only inches, but it did miss him.
Jael had saved his life, but it was not the first time he saved Dallas from certain death. Death has been looking for Dallas before he was born, but that is a story I will tell you a little later. What I want to tell you right now is the first and second time Dallas visited Israel. I will not tell you everything that happened that would spoil the story. I will only tell you one or two of the things that happen to Dallas.
Dallas Taylor is an archaeologist that loves to find things, such as dinosaur bones, hidden caves, maps, and the list goes on and on. One day he received a letter in the mail. The letter stated that he was supposed to go to Israel and meet a man named Jael. The letter stated that Jael would take him to Cairo and once they were in Cairo he and Jael would go to the Sphinx. One item they would find is a map. The map would give them directions to a cave. At that cave Dallas would find a treasure that was beyond words.
When people hear that someone has found a treasure their first thought is about gold or silver. For some people gold or silver would be a treasure, but for others a treasure could be an old book or an old stamp. One persons treasure is different for each person.
During that first visit to Israel Dallas had no idea who Jael was, but he knew he was going to find things that would boggle his mind. The one thing he did not know was that the Devil had his demons watching Dallas all of the time. At every turn the Devil would try and take the life of Dallas. However, Jael was watching and he thought he knew what the Devil would try next. What Jael was doing was anticipating each and every move of the Devil. Each time the Devil would try something new Jael was always one step ahead. One might say that Jael knew his enemy almost better than he knew himself.
Dallas also had his ace in the hole, his ace was me. Since I was given the job to protect Dallas I am watching for the things the Devil will throw at him that could kill him. The Devil knows and I know that Dallas cannot be killed, but that will not stop the Devil from trying to take the life of the prophet of the Last Days.
When Dallas arrived in Israel Jael was waiting at the airport to pick him up and off to the hotel they went. Inside the hotel room Dallas and Jael talked about going to Cairo and finding a treasure. Jael knew what some people expect when they hear the word treasure. They conjure up things like diamonds, rubies, gold, silver, maps, rings, necklaces, pictures, books, and other things people consider priceless.
Jael had no idea what they might find, the letter was not sent to him it was sent to Dallas. The person who sent the letter must have known about the treasure and about Jael. The person that sent the letter knew a lot about Dallas. They knew that Dallas would love to find a treasure beyond words, but they also knew that Dallas considered finding a whole dinosaur more exciting than finding a cave full of the things mentioned above.
When Jael and Dallas arrived in Cairo they went to the Sphinx. They looked all around the Sphinx, but they did not find a treasure or anything else. They decided to go that night and see if someone would be there that would direct them to a treasure. The person that sent the letter may show up?
No one showed up that night, but Dallas did find a map and a book. Both were very important finds. If things continue as they are now Dallas will want to move to Israel as fast as possible.
The trip home to the States was one trip that Jael decided to take to make sure Dallas arrived safe and sound. Even though he knew the Devil may try to kill Dallas he knew the trip may be uneventful. When Dallas and Jael reached Dallas's home they both could rest more peaceful.
The second trip Dallas made to Israel was a spur of the moment trip. Dallas received a call from Dr. Tolbert about a cave he was told about that may have some items in it that date back to 4 B.C. Dr. Tolbert told Dallas that he went inside the cave with a friend and he found one scroll that was at least two thousand years old. He said the cave went so far back that he did not feel comfortable in it.
Dallas informed Dr. Tolbert that he would get the first flight to Israel and they both would see what they could find? Dr. Tolbert was thrilled that Dallas would be coming back to Israel. Dallas thought about the long flight over to Israel, but because he was so tired he slept most of the way. At the airport an old friend was waiting for Dallas, it was Jael. Jael took Dallas to the hotel and the next morning they would all go to the cave.
The next morning Dallas and Jael went down to the lobby to meet Dr. Tolbert. When Dr. Tolbert arrived he had his friend with him. Dallas and Jael were both surprised to see Dr. Tolbert's friend. They all hugged each other and then they were off to the cave.
At the cave Dallas thought for sure he would find treasures so vast it would be beyond words. However, when he first walked in the only thing he found was an empty hollow cave. Inside that cave a huge boulder fell and Jael hollowed out, "WATCH OUT the rock is falling, run, run!!" If Dallas had not moved five quick steps to the right he would have been killed. That was a narrow escape and now they all had to be on their toes. All four men had a flashlight and they were looking all around. To the left Dallas saw a jar that was cover by dirt. He looked inside the jar and there was a small scroll. He gave it to Dr. Tolbert.
After looking in the cave for almost an hour Dallas and Dr. Tolbert decided it was a ghost trail except for the small scroll. The small scroll was a huge find. It was about the Book of Daniel. In the scroll it told about the time period that Daniel lived and the date of his death. The reason it was a huge find was because it stated that Daniel died in March of 531 B.C. Many scholars that did not believe the Bible, believed that Daniel was written somewhere around 150 B.C. and it was written after the fact. With this scroll it proves the Bible is correct and God does know the future.
Before they all left the cave, the friend of Dr. Tolbert stated that he felt like the cave does have more in it than meets the eye. “I feel as if there is a treasure here and all we have to do is to find it. If we look hard enough, we should be able to find something such as a hidden door or a hidden compartment.”
Dallas and Dr. Tolbert decided they should take another hour or so and see what they could find. The friend of Dr. Tolbert told Dallas that he should look along one wall and Dr. Tolbert should look along the other wall. It was Dallas that found it first. Along the right side wall was a path way cut out of the solid rock. The path only went back about twelve feet, but what was at the end of the path made Dallas think of a treasure once again. At the end of the path, to the right, was a door. The door was made of solid rock which Dallas estimated weighed two thousand pounds.
Dallas pushed at the door, but the door would not move. Jael and Dr. Tolbert’s friend looked at the door and ran their hand up both sides and across the top. At the top was a rock spindle about six inches long and two inches wide. Jael lifted the spindle straight up and out of the hole. When the spindle was lifted out, the door did open. Dallas and Dr. Tolbert both shined their flashlights inside and that is when they both saw a treasure that was beyond words.
The treasure that Dallas and Dr. Tolbert found would remain a secret until they were given permission to reveal it to the world. Jael and Dr. Tolbert’s friend made it clear that if the world knew about this treasure it would off-set the power in the Middle East and it would make Israel into a cup of trembling.
Dallas did not stay in Israel very long after that find, he only stayed three days. During those three days he went to two other caves, but nothing was found. The last day he was in Israel he meet with Jael, Dr. Tolbert and Dr. Tolbert’s friend and wished them all well. His trip back went as fast as his trip over, it just flew by.
Dallas was now sure that he and his family had to move to Israel. The two trips to Israel were unbelievable and if he wanted to find one treasure after another he w
ould have to be where history was made.
