around the other way, arriving in the parking lot seconds later.
“Did you hear that?” Tsion said.
Buck nodded. “Incredible!”
“I didn't get it,” Chloe said. “What were they saying?”
“Did it sound like Hebrew to you?” Tsion said. “They spoke in Hebrew.”
“I heard it in English,” she said.
“Me too,” Buck said. “They said that he or she who had ears to hear•”
“I heard,” Chloe said. “I just don't understand.”
“That is the first time I ever heard them add 'or she,' ” Tsion said. “That was for
you, Chloe. They knew we were here. We did not have to approach them, did not
have to identify ourselves, did not have to face Carpathia before we were ready. We
did not even have to discuss with Eli and Moishe plans for their appearance at the
stadium. They said that those who would benefit by their presence and testimony
stood within the sound of their proclamation.”
“They're coming?” Chloe said.
“That is what I gather,” Tsion said.
“When?”
“At just the right time.”



TWO
Rayford had a lot in common with Ken Ritz and found him fascinating. Distraught
over his own future•and income•and fearful of what he might learn about his late
wife, Rayford nonetheless enjoyed Ken's company. More than ten years his senior,
Ken was former military, gruff, to the point, and aglow in what Tsion Ben-Judah
called his “first love” of Christ.
Rayford and Ken spent hours in the air on the way home bringing each other up to
date on their pasts, and Rayford silently thanked God for a new friend. His
relationship with Tsion was as student to mentor. To Buck he was the father-in-law.
How he missed Bruce Barnes, his first friend and spiritual guide after the Rapture!
Ken seemed a gift from God.
Ritz assured Rayford he could learn the Gulfstream in no time. “You guys who
drive the heavies can handle these skiffs like a bike racer goin' back to a trike.”
“I wish it were that easy,” Rayford said, “but I'll count on you for driver's training.”
“Roger. And, man, with your replacement there for Carpathia•what's his name
again?”
“Mac. Mac McCullum.”
“Yeah. He gives us three pilots in the Trib Force. Now we gotta talk Sawbones into
gettin' out of that GC hospital before they catch onto him. That'll give us a doctor.
So, three pilots, a doc, and a rabbi•sounds like the start of a joke. The only member
without a specialty is your daughter, and she's what I call the voice of reason.
Nobody's more reasonable than Tsion, of course, but Chloe's the voice of reason for
guys like me who don't understand everything the scholar says.”
Rayford told Ritz about David Hassid. “I have no idea how long he'll be safe, but he
gives us another pair of eyes and ears inside. Someday both he and Mac will have to
run. Then look at the lineup we'll have.”
“Hot dog!” Ritz said, clapping. “I don't like bein' on the defensive, man! Let's take
on that rascal!”
Rayford had never heard Nicolae referred to as a rascal, but he liked Ritz's attitude.
