The Children of Pentecost
A novel by Chet Nichols

This story starts at the time of Christ and quickly “travels through time” to present day.

The story of Christianity has many great stories that make up it’s tradition, the greatest, of course, is the story of the events that led up to the fulfillment of The Passion of Christ.

Now, during Christ’s ministry on earth, He told His Disciples and Apostles that at some point they would be able to perform the miracles that He performed and that they would inherit these gifts and have the opportunity to use them to help people.

After Christ’s crucifixion and death, His Apostles and Disciples gathered in the upper room where they had shared The Last Supper with Jesus and where they been betrayed by one of Jesus’ favorite and trusted apostles, Judas.

Christ appeared to them in this room and told them that He was leaving and that they should follow Him. He told them that once He was gone, they should return to the upper room and wait for The Advocate, The Holy Spirit, to come. They followed Jesus to a mountaintop and witnessed His Ascension, after which, they returned to the upper room and waited. Ten days later, The Holy Spirit appeared to the Apostles and Disciples on Pentecost and bestowed on them the gifts of tongues, healing, enlightenment and more. The Apostles and Disciples use of these gifts is well documented in The Acts Of The Apostles in The New Testament.

But, what happened to these gifts? Was there the potential for these gifts to be passed on to the descendents of The Apostles and Disciples? And, if so, who would they be, how would the gifts be used and how would the gifts be passed on?

These are some of the themes that weave through The Children of Pentecost.

Clearly, Judas made a mistake, one that he acknowledged and wanted to make right. However, he was clearly tricked by the devil (and, in particular, an ancient demon) and was swept up by the wave of evil that permeated Jerusalem during Christ’s last three days before His death and crucifixion. But, what really happened to Judas and what happened to his descendents? The Children of Pentecost presents a fictional story based on these questions.

The story depicts the saga of the descendents of Judas as they deal with Judas’ betrayal, his cursed legacy and the desire of his descendents to help Judas receive forgiveness and redemption and, in turn, create their own redemption.

The story follows the descendents and the brotherhood of Judas from the time of Christ, through the Middle Ages and into present time where they face the demons that hunt and haunt them, do battle with them and, eventually, fulfill their destiny.

In the present day, the descendents of Judas have been culled down to just a few remaining family members, who the devil and his minions are feverishly hunting down. To hide the remaining family members and especially the hero of the story, the family and their supporters play an interesting game of cat and mouse with the devil. They have learned to play a winning game of deception and deceit with the “master of deception and deceit’ himself. Still, the devil and, in particular, one of the devil’s most powerful demons, are beginning to win the battles. This demon is a powerful and ancient demon who initially “inspired” Judas to betray Jesus in the first place and one who has hunted down the descendents of the apostles since the time of Christ. This demon’s presence has been documented since before the time of Christ in the Middle East.

Because of the stain on their family’s lineage, they are also entrusted with the protection of important Christian relics, relics that the devil desperately wants to control. So, the stage is set for the long awaited battle between the remaining members of House of Judas and the devil. Little does the devil know that the descendents have been planning a trap for hundreds of years so that the soul of Judas can finally be redeemed and re-united with his Master.

This final redemption releases the descendants Judas from their centuries-long wait and effects of the famous betrayal and gives them new life.
