with a big fluffy pillow on the seat. She sipped her tea quietly, wrinkling her nose. “Mm-m.”
    “Honeysuckle and bourbon.”
    “Good.”
    Solomon laughed. “ S’not for everyone, Miss Sybil. An acquired taste for sure.”
    “It tastes healthy,” she said, pausing. “You know you scared me silly. I hope you can trust me now and never do that again.”
    He grinned. “Maybe I can.”
    “I believe you’ve passed my test of trust,” she said, confidently. “You need to know this. The last person I trusted kidnapped my brother. We need to trust each other.”
    His smile vanished. “I know. I am sorry for that. I have been betrayed myself many times before, so I came up with my plan to see how badly you missed your brother. Not a very smart one, I’m afraid.”
    She smirked. “If it was meant to scare the heck out of me, then it worked.”
    His serious side emerged again, as quickly as it did before. “We must hurry if we want te save your brother. S’good you came te me when you did. Der is a short time before the next Blood Moon and Isabella would use your brother’s dreams for her own wicked use.”
    Sybil stood up and stretched. “I know. I just don’t know what she has planned yet.”
    He nodded. “We’ll find out together. I hope you’re not sleepy, because we have a long night ahead of us.”
    “I’ll do my best. I want to rescue Eric.”
    “Sybil?”
    “Yes?”
    “My mom is a prophet. She has something to say to you. You’ll find it helpful.”
    “Certainly.”
    Solomon tapped the handle of a rake on the ceiling. “It’s all right, Ma. You can come on down.”
    The older lady came down the steps and sat on a folding chair. “Hello again, dear.”
    “Yes. Good to see you.”
    “I have a word from the Lord for you.”
    “I accept it.”
    “First I must tell ye’ . My ma was a Jewish lady. So I am half. That is why I love the Jewish holidays.” She closed her eyes. “This is the word from God for ye. Thus says the God of Israel: “The holiest of Jewish Days, Yom Kippur, the Day Of Atonement is upon us. The trumpets in Revelation may be sounding in heaven now. From the time the first trumpet blows until the time of the seventh trumpet will be 1350 days... Those that hear the trumpet will know that I am the Lord.’” She opened her eyes and said, “My dear Sybil, the first trumpet has blown at beginning of me visions. It announced the comin’ of the Glorious Kingdom.” Her voice went still as she dropped her head. “Israelis don’t understand.”
    “What is the Glorious Kingdom?”
    Callista said, “It is about Jesus the king comin’ to get his children.”
    Sybil asked, “What does this term, ‘the coming of the Lord’ actually mean? I’ve been hearing that a lot. I don’t understand.”
    The elder Ms. Dancer said, “In the Jewish scriptures, we find repeated references to the return of Elijah to tell us of the coming of the Redeemer.”
    “We find that one of the highest expressions of Jewish hope for the future is firmly based on their belief in the coming of the Messiah,” said Solomon. “In many forms of Christianity, we find that the concept of The Lordship of Christ being interpreted as the embodiment of the Blessed Heart and Soul of God in the man Jesus. He is holy, like his Father is holy.”
    Callista said, “Christians know that Jesus is God’s son in the very literal, physical sense of the term. The highest visage of Christian hope for life is the literal, physical return of Jesus Christ from heaven.”
    “Are you saying that Christianity is the best religion?”
    “It is not a religion at all as far as humans go. Jesus did everything by himself. We follow him. We don’t do penance. To be religious, a person has to be available for God to love through him.”
    “Now Islam says that they too believe in the literal return of Elijah to Earth. They say that Christ will come along with the Mahdi—the one they call the Guided One. The purpose of
