The
Last Stand
"The Underground"
When
"The Underground" segment of the act "The Last Stand" begins, the stage
is completely dark as shown
below in Model 1 and a
mix of guitar, technicians talking
and typing on computer keyboards, and
computer sounds
is heard. Shortly thereafter, the set of "The
Lion's Den" and the supercomputer of "The Petra System" lights
up piece by piece as shown below in Models 1-8 until the set of "The
Lion's Den"
is completely visible as shown below in Model 7. There
are technicians onstage who are sitting in front of and working
with
the equipment in "The Lion's Den" as shown below in Model 7.
It's May 1, 2022 and it
has been about 1½ years since the night of the Rapture and
the digital clock
onstage marks that passage of time as shown below in Model 1. As the action continues,
the "Sylentlyon" artwork appears on the video
screen in "The Lion's Den" as shown below in
Model 8. Shortly thereafter, Daniel walks onstage
and stands in the middle of "The Lion's Den" facing the live audience
as shown below in Model 9.
At this point,
Daniel begins his presentation about the Christian underground
with the text below Model 14. As soon as Daniel begins speaking, the
mix of guitar, technicians and the sounds of computers lowers in
volume.
Refer to Models 1-33
below to follow the
action described in "The Underground." The action continues
uninterrupted with Models 10-14 and the text below Model 14. Note: the set of
"The Lion's Den" shown below in Models 1-33 is an
actual set
and
not just an image on the large video screen onstage.

Daniel:
Hey Joshua.
Joshua:
(A spotlight comes on
around the musician playing Joshua who is standing towards the back of
the auditorium
playing guitar live. The video screens on each side of the live stage
show
live
video of Joshua. He's wearing a headset with a
wireless
microphone) What's up man.
Daniel:
II wanted to update you on Operation
Last Stand before we leave.
Joshua:
Go for it.
Daniel:
(1)Now that we've been
working on Operation Last Stand for the past year and a half I can give
you a more detailed look at the underground and the progress we've made. (2)Take a
look at the screen above me. (3)The
crosses
now
appearing on the
map are locations of Petra System sites throughout the U.S. with
the large gold cross identifying us here in the Sanctuary. (4)The
sites house computer and communication systems digitally linked to "The
Petra System" and are located at the shelters themselves or nearby. (5)Our satellites enable us to have Petra
System sites at the most remote locations allowing them to go online
which would be impossible to do so otherwise. (6)As
you know with
the Petra System and the heroic efforts of thousands of believers,
a network of underground shelters are being
created nationwide. (7)In
the hills, under cities
and in places like this, "Last Stand" shelters are
rising up everywhere. (8)The stars now appearing on the map
mark the locations of
shelters in the U.S.. (9)Through "The Petra System," we are
monitoring the status of these shelters
7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and based on the information received
here from Petra System sites nationwide, we can
determine the needs of each shelter and provide the necessary
resources, manpower and vital information.
(10)Go
ahead
pick
out
a city on the map.-(The
following action
accompanies the dialogue above.The red numbers in the
parentheses refer to the number of each sentence in the dialogue
above and have been put there to aid you in following the action. When
Daniel says "Take a look at the screen above me" in
sentence 2, the mix of guitar, technicians talking and
typing on computer keyboards rises in volume,
Daniel looks back at the large video screen onstage and
points at it. Immediately
thereafter, a
map of the U.S. with the heading "The Petra System" above it appears on
the large video screen replacing the "Sylentlyon" artwork as
shown above in Model 10, the
spotlight on Joshua goes off and the live video of
him fades to black, and Daniel continues
speaking from the dialogue above.
When Daniel begins sentence 3,
crosses begin to light up all over
the U.S. map and a large gold cross lights up and flashes in the L.A.
area
of the map
identifying the Sanctuary as shown above in Model 11. By the time
Daniel
begins sentence 6, the
map is covered with crosses and all the "Petra System" sites have been
identified as shown above in Model 11.
As Daniel
continues speaking from the dialogue above, he alternately looks out at
the audience and back at the
U.S. map. When Daniel begins sentence 6, Jewish stars start appearing
around the crosses on the U.S. map on the large video screen as shown
above
in Model 12. At the same time, pre-taped video of people building and working at "Last
Stand" shelters
throughout the U.S.
starts to play on the
video screens on each side of the live stage and will continue to do so
until Daniel
finishes the dialogue above. By the time Daniel finishes sentence 8, Jewish stars
cover the entire map and
all the "Last Stand" shelters located in the U.S. are
identified as shown above in Model 12. Note: there are actually more
Petra System sites and shelters than those shown on the maps above but
due to limited space we only included those shown in the models above. As soon as Daniel begins sentence 9,
lines from all the "Petra System" sites(crosses) on the U.S. map to the
large gold cross appear on the map as shown above in Model 13 showing
the nationwide digital network. When Daniel begins sentence 10,
he
looks out into the audience, the digital network on the U.S. map disappears as
shown above in Model
14 and a
spotlight comes on encircling Joshua who is still in the
audience playing guitar but at a different location in the auditorium. At
the same time, the
video of people working at "Last Stand" shelters on the screens on each
side of the live stage is replaced by live video of Joshua playing
guitar in
the auditorium.)
Joshua:
All right, how bout Sin City.-(At
this point, the spotlight encircling Joshua goes off and the live video
of him on the screens on each side of the live stage ends. The action
continues uninterrupted with
Models 15-18 and the dialogue below Model 18 as Daniel gives his
presentation on the Las Vegas shelter.)

Daniel:
(1)Great pick, this is one of our finest
facilities. (2)There
are actually two large shelters in Nevada one in Vegas and the other in
Reno. (3)As per your request, we'll take a look
at the facility in
Vegas. (4)This is a D.U.M.B. shelter
built and abandoned by U.S. the military. (5) We have
several abandoned facilities like this across the
country that are part of Operation Last Stand. (6)The
status of this
shelter is fully operational. (7)This
particular complex like our other D.U.M.B. shelters is huge stretching out over several
city blocks. (8)Let's
take a live
video tour of this shelter.-(When
Daniel begins sentence 2, he
turns around, points at the state of Nevada
on the U.S. map with a handheld laser and the red dot from the laser
is
seen on the state of Nevada. Immediately
thereafter, the state of Nevada lights up
brighter than any
of the other states on the map and projects outward from the U.S.
map
replacing it as shown above in Model 15. The cities of Las Vegas and
Reno
are on
the map of Nevada and the Jewish stars mark the geographical
locations of "Last Stand" shelters in these cities as shown above in
Model 15.
As Daniel says sentence 3,
he moves his handheld laser
so that the red dot is on
top
of the Jewish star that's next to the word "Las Vegas" on the map of
Nevada. Immediately thereafter, a computer sound is heard and the
following
sequence of events occurs very rapidly as Daniel continues speaking
from the dialogue above. The map of Nevada is replaced by live
video
showing an
overhead satellite
shot of Earth as shown above in Model 16 and the satellite zooms
downward from this vantage
point. As the satellite zooms in, the image on the video screen gets
tighter and we see an
overhead shot of just the Las Vegas strip. When the satellite shot
approaches
the ground, the video on the screen shows the water fountains
of the Bellagio casino and we see a flashing neon Jewish star
underneath the
water which pinpoints the exact
location of the shelter. The satellite focuses and zooms in on the
flashing star until it's the only thing on the screen and then it
appears
as
if we actually enter the Jewish star. Finally, we see video of the
shelter
itself on the large video screen as shown above in Model 17. As Daniel
completes
the dialogue above, a computer
menu listing the categories underlined in the blocks of bold
typed text below appears on the large video screen to the left of the
video of the Las Vegas shelter as shown above in Model 17. The green
data
to the right of the video of the Las Vegas shelter in Model 17 is
information about the Vegas shelter such as details about its
supplies, delivery schedules for supplies and personnel information. As
Daniel's presentation
of "The Underground" continues uninterrupted, he will say the title of
each category of the computer
menu in the sequence it's listed on the large video screen and
speaks about each particular category as he gives Joshua a live video
tour of
this
shelter in its entirety.)
Daniel: Food, Shelter and Miscellaneous
Supply Status:
Complete, we have
sleeping quarters, restroom facilities, a kitchen and dining area,
stockpiles of food and bottled water, generators, fuel, and just
about any other supplies you can think of.
Daniel: Medical
Status:
Complete, this shelter has a complete health care team, a pharmacy,
medical equipment and its own operating
room.
Daniel: Security
Status:
Complete, a fully trained security force with special
forces training is stationed here. This force provides security
for this shelter and in the future will be engaged in search
and rescue operations. These
personnel are on reconnaissance missions mapping out the entire Las
Vegas area in daylight and nightime conditions to maximize
rescue efforts in the future. All this intelligence
is relayed via "The Petra System" back here to us in the Sanctuary.
This is happening nationwide as security forces from other
shelters scout their respective areas.
Daniel: Communication
Systems Status: Complete, this site is outfitted with a vast
array of communication equipment including celluar phones, computers, shortwave radios,
"walkie talkies," and sophisticated radar and satellite
technologies.
Daniel: Personnel
Status:
Complete, this shelter is fully equipped with the personnel
needed to run and maintain it. This roster lists all
the personnel at the Vegas shelter and their areas of
expertise.-(The following action accompanies the dialogue above.
When Daniel says the
title of the first category
above, "Food, Shelter and Miscellaneous Supply Status:,"
he moves his handheld laser so that the red dot is on top of that
category on the computer menu that's on the large
video
screen. Immediately
thereafter, a computer
sound is heard and the
locations, activities
and supplies mentioned in the dialogue above that is associated with
this
category
are seen live on the large video screen as Daniel speaks from the
dialogue.
After Daniel is done speaking the dialogue above that is associated
with this category, he moves his laser
so the red dot is on top of the next category on the computer menu
that's on the large video screen
which is "Medical Status."
Immediately thereafter, a computer sound is heard and the
locations, supplies, activities
and personnel mentioned in the dialogue above that is associated with
this category
are
seen live on the video screen as Daniel speaks from the dialogue above.
The
exact
same sequence of events as above occurs for the three remaining
categories on the computer menu: "Security Status," "Communication Systems
Status," and "Personnel Status."
Daniel says the
title of each category, moves
his handheld laser so that the red dot is on top of that
category on the computer menu and speaks the
dialogue above that is associated with each of these
particular
categories. Following this, the
locations, supplies, activities and personnel mentioned in the dialogue
are seen live on the large video screen as Daniel
speaks from the dialogue above. After Daniel finishes the discussion of
the last category on the computer menu, "Personnel
Status," the video that's presently on the large
video screen switches back to the U.S. map as shown above in Model 18.
At
the same time, a
spotlight comes on encircling Joshua who is still in the
audience playing guitar but at a different location. The video on the
screens on each side of
the live stage show live video of Joshua playing guitar
in the auditorium.
At this point, Daniel
looks out at Joshua and speaks to him) So whataya think?
Joshua:
(Shaking his head in amazement) That's awesome. You can
do
that for any
place in the country?
Daniel:
Yeah, I can tell you anything you want
to know about any one of our shelters. I can tell you their
projected date of completion, the supplies needed and whether or
not they've been purchased, the date and time of
the delivery of supplies, and what personnel is needed or has been
assigned to a particular shelter. I'd like to show you one of our
newest shelters which is quite different than the one in Vegas.
Joshua:
Go ahead
bro.-(After
Joshua says this, the spotlight
encircling him goes off, Daniel turns around and looks
up at the U.S. map on the large video screen, and
begins his presentation on the Denver shelter. The action continues uninterrupted with
Models 19-33 and the dialogue below Model 33.)

22-The
U.S. map returns to the video screen following the presentation of the
Denver shelter. |
Daniel: (1)This particular shelter is located
outside of Denver in the Rocky Mountains. (2)We
conducted a geological survey of
the area and discovered a massive cave ideally suited
for our purposes. (3)But the cave was completely
enclosed so we had to create an entrance into it.
(4)We literally carved a huge door out of
the rock
that can't be seen from the outside when closed as shown here in the
video.
(5)Let's take a video tour of this
facility. (6) Most of the supplies
and personnel for this shelter are missing because it's
new and wasn't part of the original database received from Gabriel
following the Rapture. (7)The data on the screen shows the
supplies needed and their delivery schedules, and lists
the
personnel presently at this shelter and those still needed. (8)While some shelters like that in
Vegas are complete, many are
only
partially finished and others are still in their infancy. (9)Much
work remains to be done but we still have
almost two
years to complete Operation Last Stand so that we are fully operational
nationwide. (10)All the
shelters should be ready by the time the second half of the
Tribulation Period is upon us. (11)We're right in step with the
prophetic calender just as planned and right on schedule. (12)"The Council" and I will join
you on
the road for the duration of the U.S. tour in the mobile command and
control
center. (13)This will give us a great opportunity
to assess the progress of
"Operation Last Stand" and the shelters in person as the tour moves
from
city to city over the next year. (14)One more thing. (15)Remember when you shapeshifted into
me and saw my future plans for "The Petra
System."-(Joshua
nods yes) (16)
I've completed my
work on those systems and they're now
online and fully operational.-(The
following action accompanies the dialogue above. When
Daniel begins sentence 1, a
similar sequence of events that occurred when Daniel gave his
presentation on the Las Vegas shelter occurs. Daniel points at the
state
of Colorado
on the U.S. map with his handheld laser and the red dot from the laser
is
seen on the state of Colorado. Immediately
thereafter, a computer sound is heard and the state of Colorado lights
up
brighter than any
of the other states on the map and projects outward from the U.S.
map
replacing it as shown above in Model 19. The names Denver and
Colorado
Springs
are on
the map of Colorado and Jewish
stars mark the geographical
locations of "Last Stand" shelters in these cities as shown above in
Model 19. Following this, Daniel moves his
handheld laser
so that the red dot is on
top
of the Jewish star that's next to the word "Denver" on the map of
Colorado, a computer sound is heard, and the
following
sequence of events occurs very rapidly as Daniel says sentences 2 and
3. The map of
Colorado is replaced by video showing an overhead satellite
shot of Earth as shown above in Model 20 and the satellite zooms
downward from this vantage
point. As the
satellite
shot zooms in, the image on the video screen gets tighter and we see
an
overhead shot of just Denver and the Rocky Mountains. When the
satellite shot
approaches
the ground, the video on the screen shows the
tops of some trees and a rock formation, and we see a flashing Jewish
star on the ground which pinpoints the exact
location of the shelter. The flashing star is located at the entrance
of the cave. At this point, Daniel begins sentence 4 and the video
shows three men standing in front of the entrance of the cave. One of
the men types
in a numbered code on a hidden panel outside the entrance, the large
cave door opens up and
the men walk into the cave as shown above in Model 21. As Daniel says
sentences 5-7, he quickly clicks on each of the computer menu headings
on the large video screen and the video tour shows that this shelter is
almost completely empty. When Daniel completes sentence 7, the video of the Denver shelter that's
presently on the large
video screen switches back to the U.S. map as shown above in Model 22.
When Daniel says sentence 14, a spotlight comes on encircling Joshua once again who is
still in the
audience playing guitar but at a different location in the auditorium. As Daniel says the remaining dialogue above he
looks at Joshua. As soon as Daniel completes sentence16,
Joshua responds to him.)
Joshua:
Well, let's see what ya got.
Daniel:
No problem, (Daniel
addresses one of the technicians
that's
working with the supercomputer live onstage) bring up the "Petra Ground Control"
system.-(The technician nods
yes, turns around and looks at his monitor, starts typing and Daniel
looks back at "The Lion's Den" video screen. Shortly
thereafter, the tracking system for the "PGC" system appears on the
video
screen as shown above in Model 23. Daniel alternately looks at the video
screen and at Joshua as he
speaks the remaining dialogue) The
icons
on the map mark the exact locations of trucks that are part of
"Operation Last Stand" and we can track their movement and whereabouts
24/7 all across
the country. This technology using GPS coordinates as a tracking system
is already used industrywide but our system is closed and impenetrable
by any person or outside organization. Our trucks can't be tracked and
none of our communications intercepted due to the security measures
provided by the "SOS" operating system.-(He pauses briefly) Now let's go to the air.-(Daniel
addresses another technician that's
working with the supercomputer live onstage)
Bring up the "Petra Air
Control" system.-(The technician nods
yes, turns around and looks at his monitor, starts typing and Daniel
looks back at "The Lion's Den" video screen. Shortly
thereafter, the tracking system for the "PAC" system appears on the
video
screen as shown above in Model 24 replacing the "PGC" system) "The
Petra System" also functions as an air traffic control system. The red
icons on the map identify planes that are part of "Operation Last
Stand" and are currently airborne. Our planes are still subject to FAA
requirements and are outfitted with transponders to track their
location and identify them to ATC facilities nationwide. However, our
planes are also equipped with our own custom transponders giving us the
same
information and allowing us to track our planes also. But there's one
big difference between the current "ATC" system and ours. In the
current
"ATC" system ground to air messages can be heard by any aircraft
euipped
with the appropriate receiver regardless of the intended recipient. In
the "PAC" system, we utilize digital data link technology giving us the
ability to
talk to our pilots one on one without anyone else hearing our
communications. Check this out.-(Daniel
looks at and addresses a
technician) Connect
me to JC777.-(Following this,
Daniel looks at "The
Lion's Den" video
screen and the small radar screen on the left side of the video screen
in Model 24 increases in size replacing the U.S. map as shown above in
Model 25. Right before Daniel speaks to the pilot, brackets appear
around the red plane on the radar as shown above in Model 25
indicating lines of communication have been established with that plane and that plane only)
JC777, this is
Sylentlyon do you copy.
JC777: Yes sir,<>
Daniel: What's your current location,
destination and payload.
JC777:
I'm currently in North Dakota en route to
St. Paul, Minnesota. My estimated time of arrival is 4:00pm and
I'm
delivering a large cache of medical supplies.
Daniel: You're right on schedule, good
work.
JC777: Thank you sir.
Daniel: Over and out.
JC777: Copy that sir.-(Following
this, the "Operation Last Stand" database re-appears on "The Lion's
Den" video screen as shown above in Model 26.)
Daniel:
(1)We can track those medical
supplies from the airport to their final
destination in St. Paul via the "PGC" system and confirm their
delivery
to the appropriate shelter by accessing the "Operation Last Stand"
database for shelters in the St. Paul area. (2)These systems are
seamlessly integrated and can track products purchased for the
underground from their point of origin to their final destinations be
it on land, in the air or both.
(3)These systems were created by adding
a few new wrinkles to already
existing technologies but here's a revolutionary
new technology developed by Dr. Shamir, Dr.
Oppeheimer and
myself
known
as the "Virtual Hologram System" or simply "VHS." (4)The
system combines and
integrates the most sophisticated
architectural software with advanced computer and
satellite
technologies for unmatched holographic imagery and functionality.
(5)Every
square inch of each shelter is painstakingly photographed and
videotaped
and detailed blueprints are drawn up. (6)This
data is in turn
uploaded into "The Petra System" and through the software we've
developed
a virtual shelter that is exactly like the actual one is created. (7)Here's how it
works. (8)We enter
the "Operation Last Stand" database and go to the "Hidden Shelters"
page of a
particular shelter. (9)The
shelters that are currently part of the
"Virtual
Hologram System" have the intials "VHS" next to them and they are a
link to the
system. (10)We click
on the letters and
the GPS coordinates of the shelter are sent to one of our satellites
triggering it to zoom in on the chosen shelter. (11)Once the
satellite quits zooming in, the virtual shelter appears in the
same exact location of the actual shelter and that's what you see
here and on the video screen. (12)All the
shelter holograms are seen on the video screen in high definition 3D. (13)The area
surrounding the
virtual shelter is live footage provided
by the
satellite. (14)Through
"VHS," we
can literally enter the virtual
shelter and visit the entire complex in real time like I'm showing you
right now. (15)All the
contents found inside a particular
shelter are also present in its virtual shelter and
any
changes that occur within the actual shelter are made instantaneously
to the virtual
shelter. (16)This
gives us a visual inventory of all the contents
in the shelters at any given moment. (17)Think of
the entire system as a smart phone that gives us
centralized
control of each shelter. (18)We can
regulate the power at shelters, put
them on complete lockdown, dump data on their computers so as not
to compomise "Operation Last Stand" and initiate weapon
systems. (19)The
leaders at each shelter also have the ability to carry out
these same functions but we have the final say and can overide
their actions if necessary. (20)The
system can also rotate
360 degrees in either direction so the shelter and its surrounding area
can be
viewed from
multiple
vantage points. (21)They're ready to go. (22)It's time to hit the road for the
Last Stand. (22)Are ya ready to rock?-(The
following action
accompanies the dialogue above. After Daniel
finishes sentence 2, he walks to the left
side of "The Lion's Den" as shown above in Model 27. When he says
sentence 3, the hologram system
rises upward from the floor of "The Lion's Den" as shown above in
Models 28-30 and
by the time Daniel finishes sentence 3 the entire "VHS" system is
visble onstage as shown above in Model 30. As
Daniel says sentence 7, he sits behind the controls of the "VHS" as
shown
above
in Model 31 and begins working with the
instruments of the system. When Daniel says sentences 8-11 the
following
action occurs. Daniel enters the "Operation Last Stand" database and
clicks on the state of New York. Immediately thereafter, the New York
state page appears on the video screen, Daniel clicks on the heading
"Hidden Shelters" from the computer menu and a list of shelters in New
York appears. Following this, Daniel clicks on the initials "VHS"
that are next
to the heading of a shelter in New York and a satellite zooms in on the
shelter stopping when the shelter and the surrounding area are clearly
in view atop the "VHS" system and on the
video screen. Shortly thereafter, the holographic image of the virtual
shelter replaces the actual shelter atop the "VHS" system and on the
video screen as shown above in
Model 32 as Daniel completes sentence 11. When Daniel begins sentence
14, we zoom in on the virtual shelter on the video screen and on the
"VHS" system until we're at the secret entrance of the
shelter, an icon of a man appears at the entrance and the man enters
the
virtual shelter. As Daniel says sentences15-19, the man(icon) walks to
different areas throughout the virtual shelter and this action is shown
to
the live audience in 3D on the video screen and it appears as if we
are actually walking in the shelter. When Daniel says sentence 15, the
man(icon) stops, looks into the pantry of the kitchen and a pallet of
rice appears with the other items already in the pantry
illustrating how any changes in the actual shelter are
made instantaneously
to the virtual
shelter. As Daniel says sentence 20, the holographic image of the
virtual shelter and the surrounding area atop the "VHS" system and on
"The Lion's Den" video screen start
to rotate. Shortly
thereafter, the holographic image of the shelter and the surrounding
area stop rotating and a new vantage point of the shelter is
seen. As soon as Daniel finishes sentence 20,
the ringtone of his cell phone is heard which is the chorus of the
Stryper song "Soldiers Under Command" and we hear the words "Soldiers,
Soldiers Under Command" sung. As the Stryper ringtone plays, Daniel
stands up digging in his front pants pocket for his cell phone. Daniel
answers his phone and
is on it briefly. Following this, Daniel
turns around so that he's facing Joshua, says sentences 21-23
and then Joshua responds.)
Joshua: Let's roll.-(As soon as Joshua finishes this dialogue,
he plays a deafening power chord on his guitar sustaining it, looks
upward and lifts his guitar over his head pointing
the neck upward all in one motion and stays motionless in that
position.
Immediately thereafter,
the stage goes completely dark as
shown
above in Model 33. At this point, the only light on in the entire
auditorium is the spotlight encircling Joshua who is still motionless.
After a few seconds, the
spotlight on Joshua is turned off, "The Underground" segment comes to
an end and the stage is prepared for the next segment, "The U.S.
Tour." Click on the play button below to view "The Underground"

The act "The Last Stand" is divided
into two segments, the "U.S. Tour" and "World Tour" and the tour
is known as "The
Last Stand." There are a
total of 143 models in the
"U.S. Tour" segment
and 128 models in the "World Tour"
segment to aid you in following the action. Symbols's U.S. and World
tours each last a year and the passage of time is marked by the
digital
clock
onstage as shown below in Model 1. By the time the entire tour is over,
almost 3½ years
have
passed by
since the Rapture took place and the midpoint of the Tribulation Period
is about three
days away. Although not always seen in the
models
below, Joshua is wearing his superhero outfit throughout all the action
in the
"U.S. and World Tour"
segments. The band member images used in the models for the "U.S. and
World
Tour"
segments don't
look
like nor are they dressed like the actual band members of Symbols and
are used
for reference purposes only. By the time the "U.S. Tour"
begins, about 1½
years have passed since Joshua's band "Joshua'sTree" played on
Halloween night. During this time,
Symbols becomes the
greatest band in music history. Their debut 3 CD box set "III" has sold
well over 150 million copies and has stayed #1 on the Billboard charts
for 15 consecutive months breaking all previous records. "The Last Stand" world tour with
all the shows being
held at large stadiums worldwide sells out in record time and breaks
all box office
records for money earned and the number of people attending. The "U.S.
Tour" segment begins with Models 1-18 and the text below Model 18. This
particular action is the opening for each show on "The Last Stand Tour"
which starts on May 2,
2022 as shown below in Model 1.

The
live stage looks like Model 1 above when it's set up and ready for the
"U.S. Tour" segment to begin. The stage is dark, the drum riser(a large drum itself),
amplifiers and piano ramps are only faintly visible. The large video screen onstage is
blank and fog fills
the stage as shown above in
Model 1. Fog also flows over
the
top of the amplifiers on both sides of
the drum
riser but this is not seen in the models above. As
the fog continues to
fill
the stage, a soundclip begins to plays which is news reports
on 9/11 and the
following action takes place. A storm backdrop with lightning
flashing on it appears on
the large video screen onstage as shown above in Model 2. Shortly thereafter, a
large sword bearing the name "Symbols" begins to move downward from the
top of the video screen as
shown above
in Model 3. As the sword continues to move downward eventually stopping
in the position shown above in Model 4, lightning strikes the sword and
the
word "Symbols" several times. Following
this, the storm backdrop and lightning fade
out leaving the sword on the screen by itself with
a black background as shown above in Model 5. At this point, four
Christian symbols the cross, the dove, the commandments and the Ichthys
appear on the video
screen onstage underneath the sword as shown above in Model 6. Colored
lights which look as if they are coming from each
symbol form a
circular cone of light that projects downward on to the top of the
amplifiers as shown above in Model 6. As soon as
the stage looks like Model 6 above,
the members of Symbols begin to emerge from within the amplifiers via
hydraulic lifts
on
the left and right sides of the stage within the
circular cones and are
visible to the audience as shown above in Model 7.
The musicians
will continue to move upward until they are
standing atop the amplifiers and this sequence of action is shown above
in
Models 6-9. At the same time, the fog that's on the stage and flowing
over the
amplifiers changes to the color associated with each particular symbol
as shown above in Models
6-9(ie. from gold to blue to
orange to green). In addition, each musician
is illuminated by the color associated with their specific Christian
symbol as shown above in Model 10 which is the same color as the lights
emanating from
each
symbol. Once
all the musicians are standing atop the amplifiers, the color of the
fog flowing over the amplifiers and onstage turns to white as shown
above in Model 10. As the action continues
uninterrupted and the soundclip plays, the image
on the video screen onstage
changes. The image of the sword and the Christian symbols fades out
is replaced by a U.S. map as shown
above in Model 11. Following
this, the "Holy Soldier" icon appears in the center of the U.S. map as
shown above in Model 12. As
the soundclip continues to play, the Symbols's sword covering the face of
Holy Soldier in the center
of the U.S. map moves upward and vanishes, Holy
Soldier comes alive, lifts up his bowed head and looks out at the live
audience. At this point, Holy Soldier begins to say 1 John 5:4 and
the Symbols's catchphrase. Holy
Soldier
says 1John5:4 and the Symbols's catchphrase.
Holy Soldier:
"For
everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that
overcomes the world, our faith." For we are Symbols for the world to see
and when they're looking for Christ may they see Him in me."-( As 1John5:4 and
the Symbols's catchphrase are spoken by Holy Soldier, the lights
illuminating the fog are turned off, Joshua leaves
the top of the amplifiers and goes to the
stage below standing in the fog, D.W. gets
behind his drums on the
drum riser, Gibson walks over to the far left area of the stage still
standing atop the amplifiers, and Robert
walks over to the far right
area
of the stage still standing atop the amplifiers all of which are shown
in Model 13. The stage will continue to look like Model 13 above as 1John5:4 and
the catchphrase are spoken. After Holy Soldier finishes the dialogue above, he
bows his
head and the Symbols's sword covers his face once again.
As the soundclip
continues playing, the
stage lights
up as shown above in Model 14.
Following this,
video begins to play within the U.S. map on the large video
screen onstage and it appears as if
the
"Holy Soldier" icon and
the black area within the border of the U.S. map start moving
forward. As the video continues to play, we see
the
"Holy Soldier" icon and the black area are actually artwork on the back
of a Symbols's tour bus that is traveling on a highway as shown above
in
Model 15. As the bus continues moving forward, the camera pulls
back from the back of the
bus so that we have a wide, ovehead shot of the entire area as shown
above in
Model 16. We see the
bus is part of a caravan of tour buses and diesels that is traveling on
a highway heading
towards a sunset as shown above in Model 16 and 17. However, the video
within the U.S. map will actually look like Model 18 above rather than
that seen in Models 16 and 17. We
only see the first three buses of the caravan as shown above in Models
16-18 but
as the beginning of the song "Soldiers" is performed live the
remaining
vehicles of the caravan are seen in the video. There are three
additional tour buses, "The Ministry's" mobile
command and control center and 10 diesels that are not seen in the
video at
this point. The vehicles
are carrying the band,
tour personnel and equipment for the "Last Stand Tour." As the
soundclip
continues to play, Gibson
and Robert walk down the piano ramps until they're ultimately onstage
and Joshua emerges from the fog onstage as
shown
above in Models 16 and 17. At this point, the soundclip ends, the
border of the U.S. map on the video screen onstage fades out and
the video within the map expands filling the entire screen as shown
above in Model 18. At the same time, U.S.
maps light up on the screens on each side of the live stage with
the "Last Stand Tour" artwork
in the middle of them and the words "The
Last Stand" are above the maps as shown above in Model 19. Click on the
play button below
to see the "U.S.Tour"
Intro which is the action
accompanying the soundclip. After
you view the "U.S. Tour"
Intro,
you will need to close the movie screen and return to this page to
continue
reading the "U.S. Tour" segment. At this
point, the
song "Soldiers" is performed live onstage and video on the
large screen onstage and on the screens on each side of the live
stage plays for the duration of the
song. Click on the play button below with the heading "Soldiers" to
listen to the song "Soldiers" and view the video presentation
accompanying it. However, the video
presentation only captures a portion of the
action accompanying the song so all the remaining text and models below
must be read
and viewed to get a complete and accurate picture of all
the action that takes place. In fact, the
best action in the "U.S. Tour" segment isn't even seen in the
video
presentation. The
live audience will join
Joshua,
Symbols
and "The Ministry" on the road for the entire U.S. leg of the
"Last
Stand Tour" via video as the song "Soldiers" is played live. The U.S. part
of the
"Last Stand Tour" lasts a
year and this
period
of time is
marked by the digital clock onstage. The action
continues uninterrupted
with Models 20-34 and the text below Model 34 as Verse 1 and Chorus 1
of "Soldiers" are performed live.)

Video
plays on the large screen onstage and on the video screens on each side
of the live screen for the duration of the song "Soldiers" as
it's performed live. As mentioned previously, the video presentation
accompanying the song "Soldiers" only captures a portion of the
action so all the remaining text and models below must be read
and viewed to get a complete and accurate picture of all
the action that takes place. When the
song "Soldiers" begins to be performed live, the video playing on the
large video screen
onstage shows three tour buses traveling on a highway towards a sunset
as shown above in Model 20. As Verse 1 is sung, the caravan of tour
buses and diesels continues
driving on the highway towards the sunset and the sky begins to change
until an image is clearly visible in the sky as shown above in Models
21-23.
The image in the sky is a burning cross with the "Holy Soldier" icon in
front of it as shown above in Models 23 and 24. Following this, the Symbols's
sword
rises upward and disappears as before, "Holy Soldier" comes to live,
lifts up his bowed head
and looks
out at the
live
audience with his fiery orange eyes. Immediately thereafter, "Holy
Soldier" morphs into Christ as shown above in
Model 25. As the
action continues, the image of Christ on the large video screen
onstage sings Chorus 1 and all the other vehicles of the caravan are
seen on
the
highway driving towards the sunset and disappear into the clouds. As Christ
begins singing Chorus 1 on the large screen onstage, the following
action occurs on the video screens on each side of the live stage. As
mentioned previously, a U.S.
map is on each screen with the "Last Stand Tour" artwork
in the middle of them and the words "The
Last Stand" are above the maps as shown above in Model 26. At this point, the "Last Stand Tour"
artwork within the U.S. maps increases in size filling the entire
screens and the U.S. maps fade out. The Symbols's sword rises
upward and disappears,
"Holy
Soldier" comes to life once again, he lifts up his bowed head and looks
out
at the live
audience. "Holy Soldier"
morphs into Joshua who in turn morphs into his guitarist Gibson who
morphs into drummer
D.W who morphs into bassist Robert. Robert morphs into Daniel who
morphs into
Saul who morphs into Dr. Oppenheimer and each remaining member of "The
Ministry"
appears within the "Last Stand Tour" artwork morphing into one
another. When the last member of "The Ministry" appears within the
artwork, he morphs back into "Holy Soldier" who bows his head and the Symbols's sword
returns covering his face once again. Shortly
thereafter, the "Last Stand Tour" artwork fades
out and U.S. maps appear on the screens once again and a tour bus
graphic appears on the far west area of the U.S.
maps as shown above in Model 27. As the video on the large screen onstage
continues playing at the end of Chorus 1, the last vehicle of
the caravan
drives on the highway,
disappears into the clouds and the image of Christ in front of the
burning cross in the sky morphs back into "Holy Soldier" as shown above
in Models 28-30. Immediately thereafter, video of Joshua standing
onstage in front of a sold out crowd at the L.A. Colisuem begins
playing
on the
large screen onstage as shown above in Model 31 replacing the video of
the highway and sunset as the "Last Stand Tour" officially begins at
the L.A.
Coliseum. The image of the Coliseum shown above in
Model 33 is a compressed image and the length of the stadium grounds
from one end of the stadium(the stage) to the other would be much
longer. Model 31 shows the stage being at one end of
the stadium where one end zone would be and the audience in front of
the stage stretches across the stadium grounds to the end zone on
the opposite end. Although not seen in Model 31, the audience also
stretches across the entire width of the grounds and all the 93,000
seats of
the Coliseum are filled. Some of the audience sitting in the seats of
the stadium can be seen opposite Joshua at the far end of the stadium. Note: In
the video presentation you will watch, superheroes morph into one
another in
the "Last Stand Tour" artwork but in the actual
production it will be Joshua, the members of Symbols, Daniel and "The
Minstry" as
described above.
When Chorus 1 ends, the video screens on
each side of the
live stage
are showing U.S. maps with small tour buses on the far west areas of
the
maps as shown above in Model 27. The maps will track the
progress of the U.S. portion of the "Last Stand Tour" as the remainder
of the song "Soldiers" is performed live. As the song
plays, the buses
move
eastward across the maps at the same time in a straight line until they
ultimately reach the East Coast and Washington D.C.. As the buses move eastward, each state
on the U. S.
maps
lights up when the front of the buses cross over their western most
borders as shown above in Model 32. Because the buses are much smaller
than the maps, the tour bus
graphics themselves
only physically cross over the borders of a few states. How the
remaining states
light up can be explained as follows. Visualize an imaginery straight
line that is lined up with the front of the tour buses and extends from
the northern most to the southern most border of the U.S. that travels
eastward at the exact same time the buses do. Any time the buses
themselves
or the imaginery lines above or below them cross over the western
most border of a state it lights up. When
each state lights up, a "Holy Soldier" icon
lights up in that state showing Symbols has played there as shown above
in Model 32. By the end of
the song, the buses are on the East Coast and both
maps are completely lit up with a "Holy Soldier" icon in each state as
shown above in Model 33.
In addition to the states lighting up as the buses move eastward, video
plays on the screens on each side of the
live stage for the remainder of the song "Soldiers." On the
screen on the left side of the live stage, video of events related to
Symbols's U.S. Tour plays on the screen. The types of video clips include
Symbols playing in concert nationwide, large numbers of people
accepting Christ at Symbols's concerts, massive street revivals led by Joshua
in U.S. cities
nationwide, Joshua displaying his superpowers at concerts and on the
road, impromptu footage of Symbols on the road and video of famous U.S.
landmarks seen on the tour. For example, as the bus begins
moving across the U.S. map on the left screen,
the
states of California, Washington, Nevada and Oregon light up. We see
video of Symbols playing the first show of their tour at the L.A.
Coliseum as shown above in Model 34, video of Space Needle in Seattle
and
Symbols playing at a large stadium in Washington, and video of Symbols
walking on the Las
Vegas Strip witnessing to large crowds and playing a sold out show
at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
At the same time video
plays on the left screen, video
related to "Operation Last Stand" and the activities of Daniel and "The
Ministry" plays on the screen on the right side of the live stage. As mentioned previously, Daniel and
"The Ministry"
accompany Symbols for the duration of the U.S.
tour to check on the progress and access the readiness of "Operation
Last Stand" first
hand. The types of
video clips seen include "Last
Stand" shelters in the cities Symbols visits on their tour, Daniel and
"The Ministry"
visiting and inspecting these shelters secretly, Daniel and "The
Ministry" working in
their areas of expertise with people at
the shelters, Daniel and "The Ministry" on the road with Symbols,
and Daniel and "The Ministry" working in
their high tech, mobile
command and control center.
The tour bus graphic on each map travels at the same speed
across the maps and the same states light up at the same time on each
U.S. map. So as the
tour buses move eastward on the U.S.
maps
that
are on the video screens on each side of the live stage, different
states
light up triggering video clips from those states to begin playing
superimposed on the U.S. maps on the screens as shown above in Model 36. The
live
audience joins
Joshua,
Symbols, Daniel
and "The Ministry" on the road for the entire U.S. leg of the
"Last
Stand Tour" which lasts a year via video as the song "Soldiers"
is performed live.
The live audience watching the production witnesses the tour and
evolution of "Operation Last
Stand"
over that period of time which
is
marked by the digital clock onstage. The U.S. maps tracking Symbols's "U.S. Tour" on the
screens on each side of the live stage are not seen on the screens
continually. They fade in and out and appear periodically superimposed
on the video playing on the screens as shown above in Model 34.
In the video clips that are
shown as
the song "Soldiers" is performed live, we continue to see the devastating
effects the Rapture has
had on the U.S.. Countless businesses and residences continue to be
abandoned and boarded up, the streets are filled with the homeless and
basic services such as trash disposal and electric power are
non-existant
in some areas. The
action continues
uninterrupted with Models 35-47 and the text below Model 47 as the music following Chorus 1 and
Verse 2 of the song"Soldiers" are performed live.

Verse 2
I
stand here right beside you
Tonight
we're fighting for our lives
Let
me hear your battle cry
Your
battle cry
As the action continues
uninterrupted with the music following Chorus 1 and Verse 2, Joshua is
standing onstage at the L.A. Coliseum on the
large video screen onstage as shown above in Model 35. As the music
plays,
Joshua steps off the stage at the Coliseum on to a cordoned off pathway that extends
from the stage
across the stadium grounds to the opposite end zone as shown
above
in
Model 36. Immediately thereafter, rays of sunlight
break through the clouds above the Coliseum and encircle Joshua and the
area around him as shown above in Models 36 and 37.
The gold Les Paul resting on Joshua's back and the
symbols imprinted on his
trenchcoat are lit up.
Joshua
walks on the
pathway en route to the opposite end of the Coliseum and the rays
of light from above continue to
encircle him as shown
above in Models 36-41. As Joshua walks down the pathway, he
lays hands on people in the crowd healing them of
various maladies such as blindness, deafness and paralyis. We also see
others in the crowd being healed by simply
reaching out and touching his lit up guitar or trenchcoat as
he
walks by them. By the time Joshua reaches the opposite end of the
stadium, there's a dead man who has overdosed lying
in front of the tunnel
that leads underneath the stadium as
shown
as above in Models 41 and 42. The camera zooms
in on
this scene and the dead man is about the same age as Joshua. A
paramedic is
kneeling beside the man holding the handles of a defibrillator, he
looks at Joshua shaking his "no" and the man's pupils are fixed and
dilated indicating he's dead. Joshua smiles at the paramedic, looks down at the man and we see
Joshua say "rise up" as he lifts his arms upward. Immediately
thereafter, Joshua looks upward, the
vocalist begins singing Verse 2 and light
comes down from
above as shown
above in Model 43. Following this, the dead man comes back
to
life, stands up and both he and Joshua are
looking at one another as shown
above in Model 44. Joshua talks with the man and the
light from above stops shining on them as shown above in Model 45. As
Joshua
talks, the man nods in agreement, we see the man say the words "I
believe" and the "Mark of the Righteous" appears on the back of his
right hand indicating he's been saved. After this, Joshua takes a
hold of the
man's right arm, lifts it into the air and the man appears on the large
video
screen at the Coliseum. The crowd can see the "Mark
of the Rigtheous" on the back of his hand and cheer loudly. After this, Joshua supernaturally
walks
straight through the man's body into the tunnel, disappears
from sight as shown above in Models 46 and 47, and the man continues to hold his right hand in the air
bearing the "Mark of the Righteous." At this point, the video zooms in
on the dark tunnel and the video on the large screen onstage is
completely black indicating Joshua has entered the
tunnel in the Coliseum.
As
all the action just described plays on the large video screen onstage,
the video screens on both sides of the live stage
continue to
show
video of Symbols and "The Ministry" on the "Last Stand Tour" as the bus
icons continue to move eastward across the U.S. maps. The action
continues
uninterrupted with Models 48-58 and the text below Model 58 as Chorus 2
of the song
"Soldiers" is performed live.

Chorus 2
We
are the ones who will never be broken
With
our final breath
We'll
fight to the death
We
are soldiers, we are soldiers
We
are the ones who will not go unspoken (not go unspoken)
No,
we will not sleep
We
are not sheep
We
are soldiers, we are soldiers
Yeah
As the action in the
"U.S. Tour" segment continues uninterrupted and Chorus 2 is performed
live,
Joshua has entered the
tunnel of the Coliseum and
the
large video screen onstage is completely black. Shortly
thereafter, Joshua exits the tunnel and steps into an apocalyptic
scene as
shown above in Model 48. In the video, Joshua walks
towards a light shining
in the distance as shown above in Models 48-51 until he disappears into
the light as shown above in Model 51. This is an apocalyptic scene from
the second half of the Tribulation Period which would be seen in part
two of "The Unveiling." A military
helicopter is flying overhead, buildings are on fire and smoking,
skulls cover the ground and a tank has just been hit by muniitions and
destroyed. As Joshua walks, he crushes skulls on the ground with his
boots and the helicopter fires off a round of munitions at Joshua.
Explosions go off on both sides of Joshua but miss their
target and Joshua continues walking towards the light unfazed.
Following this, a new scene appears on the
large screen onstage as the video continues to play uninterrupted. The
new
video shows Christ standing in front of the "Bridge to Eternity"
or "Narrow Gate" which leads
into the holy city of New
Jerusalem in heaven as shown above in Model 52. This is the holy city
spoken about in Revelation 21:2 and we discover the light seen in the
distance from the apocalyptic scenes is in fact New Jerusalem. Anyone
who's saved and has their name written in the Book of Life is allowed
entrance into New Jerusalem. Joshua walks from the ruins of the
apocalyptic scene up to Christ
at the bridge as shown above in Model 53. Joshua's name is
in the Book of Life and Christ supernaturally disappears allowing
Joshua entry into the holy city as shown above in Model 54. Joshua
walks across the "Bridge to
Eternity" or "Narrow Gate" and enters New
Jerusalem walking on streets of gold as shown above
in
Models 55-57. Shortly thereafter, Joshua enters
one of the buildings in New Jerusalem and disappears from sight as
shown above in Model 58. As
all the action just described plays on the large video screen onstage,
the video screens on both sides of the live stage
continue to
show
video of Symbols and "The Ministry" on the "Last Stand Tour" as the bus
icons continue to move eastward across the U.S. maps. All the video accompanying
the song "Soldiers" that has played on the
large video screen up to this point has focused on Holy Soldier(Joshua)
and the different stages of warfare. In the beginning, Joshua, Symbols
and members of "The Ministry" tour the U.S. preparing for the battle
that lies ahead. Holy Soldier mobilizes and recruits soldiers for the
final conflict and "The Ministry" readies the underground as the "Last
Stand Tour" proceeds. Next, we see Holy Soldier in the midst of battle
in the apocalyptic scene as the final conflict rages on in part two of
"The Unveiling."
Finally, Holy Soldier is victorious and receives the spoils of war
which are eternal salvation and access to the Kingdom of God shown in
the New Jerusalem video. At this point, we
transition to a new video segment on the large screen onstage that
plays from the end of Chorus 2 through Verse 3. The action continues
uninterrupted with Models 59-75 and the text below Model 75 as the end
of Chorus 2, the music preceeding Verse 3 and Verse 3 of the song
"Soldiers" are performed live.

As the action continues
uninterrupted from the end of Chorus 2 through Verse 3, the video
on the large video screen onstage transitions from the video of New
Jerusalem to a new video segment. The
new video segment shows a burning world rising up from hell as shown
above in Model 59. Shortly thereafter, "The Four
Horses of the Apocalypse" appear within the burning world as
shown above in Model 60 and a series of lit up platforms appears as
shown above in Model 61. Following this, a
"Final
Apostle'" icon appears on the platform closest to the burning world
in the middle series of the lit up platforms as shown above in Model
62. As
the music continues to be performed live, "Final Apostle"
icons appear on the platforms in the middle series of platforms
in sequence moving from the platforms closest to the burning world
outward as shown above in Models 63-66. After this, "Holy
Soldier"(Joshua)
appears on the final platform of the middle series of platforms and
he's facing the burning world as shown above in Model 67. As the
vocalsit begins singing Verse 3, "Final Apostle" icons appear at
the same time on the
platforms closest to the burning world on the series of platforms to
the left and right of the middle series of lit up platforms as shown
above in Model 68. "Final Apostle" icons will appear on the platforms
of the left and right series of platforms at the
same time in sequence
moving from the platforms closest to the burning world outward
until ultimately icons are on all the left and right platforms except
for the final
ones as shown above in Model 69. At this point, "White Lion" and "Red
Dawn" appear on the final two platforms at the same time as shown above
in Model 70. As the second half of Verse 3 begins, the name "The Final
Apostles" appears from behind the burning world and rises upward
stopping at the top of the screen as shown above in Model 71. This video
segment is a preview of and summarizes the action that will take place
in part 2
of "The Unveiling"
and foreshadows there will be additional superheroes in "The
Unveiling." Part 2 is entitled “The
Unveiling Part II : The Final Apostles" and covers the final 3½ years of the Tribulation
Period.
In part 2, "White Lion" and
"Red Dawn" emerge and join "Holy Soldier" and "The
Final Apostles"
battle against the world forces of darkness manifested in Dr. Gold and
Dr. Silver. However, the identities of "White
Lion" and "Red Dawn" are not revealed in this video segment who are
respectively Joshua's former best friend Daniel Goldberg and UNN
journalist Dawn Rivers. Both of these characters are introduced in part
1 of "The Unveiling."
After the words "The
Final Apostles" stop moving at the top of the video screen as shown
above in Model 71 and as the remainder of Verse 3 plays, we transition
to
the final video
segment that plays on the large screen onstage with the song
"Soldiers." This segment shows Symbols playing the final show of their
U.S. tour in front of the Lincoln Memorial as shown above in Model 73
and the response of Washington D.C. to this event. At this
point, the video on
the screens on each side of the
live stage shows the U.S. maps completely lit up with a "Holy
Soldier" icon in each state, the tour bus
icons have reached the East Coast and are
located just
below Washington D.C. on the U. S. maps as shown above in Model 33.
When the
video of Symbols playing
in D.C. appears on the large
screen onstage, video footage of the entire
scene in D.C. starts playing on the screens on each side of the live
stage replacing the U.S. maps. The largest crowd ever
assembled for any event in Washington D.C. is
watching the final show of Symbols's U.S. Tour. Model 72 above shows the National
Mall and the surrounding
area including the
Lincoln Memorial and its reflecting
pool,
the Washington Monument and the Capitol building. The National
Mall stretches from the Lincoln Memorial at the bottom of the photo to
the Capitol Building at the top of the photo. All the empty space in
the photo is completely filled with people and countless satellite and
news trucks are everywhere as the entire world is focused on this
event. People are on
roof tops and the streets
throughout D.C., bars and restaurants are filled with people and
the historical monuments in D.C. are jam packed with people as everyone
celebrates
Symbols's final show in the greatest event ever witnessed in the
storied history of Washington D.C.. Hundreds of large video screens
are located in the National Mall, on the streets throughout D.C., in
bars and restaurants, and at the other historical monuments so everyone
can view
the spectacle. All of this is shown on the screens
on each side of
the live stage as the video plays on the large screen onstage. As
the action on the large screen continues, the remainder of Verse 3 is
performed live and the drum riser begins moving forward in the air
supernaturally with Joshua on the front of it
as shown above in Model 74.
The drum riser continues moving forward until it's suspended above the
water at
the beginning of the Lincoln
Memorial reflecting pool as shown above in Model 75. When the drum
riser stops moving, a
large wall of flames that spans the entire width of the reflecting pool
shoots
upward from the surface of the water as shown above in Model 75. The
wall of flames
will remain burning atop the water. At this point, Verse 3 ends and
Chorus 3 begins and the action continues uninterrupted with Models
76-82 and the text below Model 82. During the action in
Washington D.C., Joshua's showcases his full array of superpowers
which includes superhuman strength, indestructibleness and
the ability to teleport, fly, alter
environmental phenomena, bring inanimate objects
to life, raise the dead, heal disease and physical
maladies and walk on water. Joshua can also shapeshift and has the
unique ability of being able to shapeshift other believers to whatever
he wants through his "Holy Soldier" icon(Mark of the Righteous.)

s
As the action continues uninterrupted and Verse 3 ends, Joshua rises
upward
in the air above the drum riser and faces the Lincoln Memorial as shown
above in Model 76.
When Joshua stops moving upward, he points at the statue of Abraham
Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial and
speaks. Joshua's voice is supernaturally amplified and he can be heard
throughout all of Washington D.C. anytime he speaks.
Joshua: Ladies and Gentlemen, the 16th
President of the United States of America, the honorable Abraham
Lincoln.-(For the following
action involving President Lincoln, the video playing on the screens on
each side of the live stage is coordinated with the video on the large
screen. The video on the
large screen onstage will
continue to show a distant, wide angle shot of all the action at the
Lincoln
Memorial as shown above in Models 76-82. However, the video on the
other screens will show the same action in a tight,
close-up camera shot focused on just the statue of Abraham Lincoln and
the area
around the middle pillars of the Lincoln Memorial. This allows all
the action involving the statue of President Lincoln at the Lincoln
Memorial to be
clearly seen by the audience. The
left picture in Model 82 above shows the statue of Abraham Lincoln in
its current state before the action at the Lincoln Memorial begins. As
soon as Joshua
finishes the dialogue above, the statue of Abraham
Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial comes to
life, stands up and exits his chair, and
walks forward looking out at the crowd as
shown above in Model 77. The statue now
consists of an empty chair and the words above the statue of Lincoln
are gone
as shown above in the middle picture of Model 80. At this point, the
resurrected President Lincoln
addresses the people.)
Lincoln: Fellow countrymen, on this
fourth day of
May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty three, I see a nation
and world
in peril. We stand on
the brink of the greatest Civil War in man's
history and dark
days lie ahead. The great judgements are forthcoming as time
runs out on a corrupt and wicked world. But don't lose hope
for
the forces of righteousness prevail so pledge your allegiance to the
King and join the
ranks of the Holy Soldier fighting for the Way until the very end. For
He hasn't given us a spirit of timidty, but of power and love and
discipline. I gave my life to save
the union and free man from the shackels of slavery (Looking upward)
but He
gave His life to save the world and free man from the slavery of sin
and penalty of death.-(When Lincoln finishes the dialogue above,
he
looks behind himself where the original words above the statue of
Lincoln used to be and says the following new words) Let
the inscription read anew: In this Temple as in the hearts of the
people for whom he saved the world. The memory of Jesus Christ is
enshrined forever.-(As
Lincoln recites the new words, they appear in the same location as the
original words inscribed on the wall above Lincoln's chair. We
see this action take place close-up on the video screens on each side of the
live
stage. Only a few words of the
original text are actually changed.
The word "union" is replaced by "world" and "Abraham Lincoln" is
replaced by "Jesus Christ" as shown above in the right picture of Model
80. As soon as Lincoln finishes saying the new
inscription, he kneels down, bows his head and brings
his hands together in prayer as shown above in Model 78 and 80.
Immediately
thereafter, a statue of Jesus Christ appears in the vacated chair in
the Lincoln Memorial as shown above in Model 79
and 80. Following this,
the kneeling and praying Abraham Lincoln turns back into a statue and
the new statue of Christ and President Lincoln remains in the Lincoln
Memorial as shown above
in
Model 80 and 81. After this, Joshua lowers himself so that he's
standing
atop the
water of the reflecting pool in front of the drum riser as shown above
in Model 82. All the action just described above at the Lincoln
Memorial can be seen in the video presentation
accompanying the song "Soldiers." At this point, the action
continues
uninterrupted with Models 83-95 and the text below Model 94.)

As the action continues uninterrupted on the large screen onstage and
the song "Soldiers" is performed live,
Joshua is standing
atop the
water of the reflecting pool in front of the drum riser as
shown above in Model 83. At this point, Joshua starts walking on the
water of the reflecting pool as
shown above in Models 84 and 85. Following this, another wall of flames
shoots up into the air from the surface of the reflecting pool in front
of Joshua as shown above in Model 86. Joshua
walks through the wall of flames without hesitation and
comes out on the other side completely unharmed as shown above in Model
87.
Joshua continues to walk on water in the direction of the Washington
Memorial
side of the reflecting pool as shown above in Models 88 and 89.
Shortly thereafter, another wall of flames shoots up into the air in
front of Joshua as shown above in Model 90. Joshua walks into the
flames as shown above in Model 91 disappearing into the flames as
shown above in Model 92. Immediately thereafter, Joshua supernaturally
teleports himself from the flames atop the reflecting pool to above the
Washington
Memorial as
shown above in Model 93. Following this, the
Washington Monument morphs
into a large cross as shown above in Model 94.
As Joshua walks
the entire length of
the reflecting pool starting at the Lincoln Memorial side of the pool
and ending at the Washington Memorial side of the pool,
he says verses from Psalm 23 in an amplified voice that echoes
loudly across the National Mall and D.C. Note: another wall of flames
not shown
in the models above rises up from the reflecting pool before Joshua
walks through the last wall of flames and appears above the Washington
Memorial. As before, Joshua walks through this wall of flames and comes
out the other side unharmed. The four walls of flames rising up
from the
surface of the reflecting pool continue to
burn and the orange glow from the flames is seen on the surface of the
water of the entire reflecting pool as shown in the models above.
Joshua: Even though I walk through
the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear
no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and
Your staff they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all
the days of my life, and
I shall dwell in Your house forever. You are my rock, my
fortress, and my
deliverer, in whom I take refuge, my shield,
and the horn of
my salvation, my stronghold. You lead me
beside quiet waters and restore my soul; You guide me
in the paths of righteousness for the sake
of Your name. I will call
upon You,
who is worthy to be
praised; so shall I be
saved from my enemies!-(As soon as Joshua finishes this
text, he walks into the final wall of flames, disappears and teleports
himself above the Washington Memorial as shown above in Model
91-93. Shortly thereafter, as mentioned
previously, the Washington Monument morphs
into a large cross as shown above in Model 94. At
this point, the action continues uninterrupted with Models 95-105 and
the text below Model 105 as Joshua addresses the crowd in the National
Mall suspended above the "Washington Memorial" cross.)

As the action continues uninterrupted, the
video on the large screen onstage shows Joshua suspended
above the "Washington Monument" cross as shown above in Model 95. He
looks out
at the crowd in the
National Mall observing the entire scene. The video
shows this from Joshua's vantage point above the "Washington Memorial"
cross and he's shaking
his head and smiling blown away by what he
sees. At this point, Joshua addresses the crowd in the National Mall. He uses slavery as a
metaphor for sin like President Lincoln did in the earlier action from
the Lincoln Memorial. Joshua's address is built around the theme of
freedom
as it relates to the eternal freedom one receives for belief in Christ
escaping the slavery of sin and eternal death. The setting of the
Lincoln Memorial for the address is ideal as President Lincoln is
inextricably linked to ending slavery in the U.S. and granting slaves
their freedom. Joshua uses key phrases
from Martin Luther King's famous "I have a Dream"
speech which also took place at the Lincoln Memorial and focused on
securing
true freedom for Black Americans. All the
action in the "U.S. Tour" segment would last longer than the song
"Soldiers." The video presentation of the song "Soldiers" is like a
movie trailer editing
the action so that it lasts exactly for duration of the
song. To have soundtrack music for the duration of the action in this
segment, we
will loop the battle cry portion of the song "Soldiers" which is heard
from the 3:45-4:15 minute mark
of the song to accompany all the
action in the segment. This looping music may or may not have the
vocals heard in the battle cry.
Joshua:
Let
me hear ya D.C..-(The crowd roars) All right, we've got ourselves a rowdy crowd here
tonight. As most of you know, this is the final
show of our U.S. tour. We'd like to thank all of you
here tonight, the millions who came out to see us live this past
year and those of you watching on T.V. for
supporting
us and helping spread
the Gospel across this great nation.
Almost 60 years ago, Dr. King gave his
infamous "I Have a Dream" speech from here and I say to you tonight
slavery is alive and well. But the
good news is there's a way to break free from the grip of sin. All you have to do is believe in Him
and the truth will set you free. Come on, get those fists in the air. (Joshua pauses looking at the crowd in the
National Mall) Do you believe!-(The following
action accompanies the dialogue above. When Joshua
says "But the
good news is there's a way to break free of the death grip of sin," he
raises
his right hand into the air and makes a fist. As Joshua says the next
line of dialogue, "All you have
to do is believe in Him
and the truth will set you free," " the "Mark of
the Righteous" lights up
brightly on
the back of his right hand. As soon as Joshua says "Come on, get
those
fists in the air," the entire crowd in the National Mall lifts their
right fists into the air and the "Mark of the Righteous" is already
lit
up
on the back of the right hands of about half the crowd in the
National Mall indicating they're already Christians. When
Joshua says "Do you believe" in the dialogue above, the crowd in the
National Mall responds to him loudly.)
Crowd:
Yeah!-(After the crowd says this, the
"Mark of the Righteous" starts to light up on the back of the right
hands of tens of
thousands of people
in the National Mall that didn't have the mark
previously
indicating they've just become Christians in response to Joshua's
address.
Another group of people in the crowd still have no marks on the back of
their
hands signifying they
didn't give their lives to Christ and thus aren't saved. The
video on the large screen shows
this from Joshua's vantage point above the
"Washington Memorial" cross and we have a
panoramic view of the entire crowd in the National Mall. The viewer
gets to see the powerful and breathtaking sight of tens of thousands of
marks lighting up in the National Mall at night as if they were Joshua
suspended above the "Washington Memorial" cross When the mark
appears on the people's hands in all areas of the National Mall, a
large cross is formed by the lit up marks. The lit up marks of the
people extending from the "Washington Monument" cross eastward to the
Capitol form the large vertical part of the cross. The lit up marks on
the people's hands extending from the "Washington Monument" cross
westward to the Lincoln Memorial form the smaller vertical part of the
cross. The lit up marks of the people extending from the "Washington
Memorial' cross northward and southward in the National Mall form the
horizontal parts of the cross. If you look at the photo of the
National Mall as shown above in Model 72 and picture people filling in
all
the spaces extending from the east to the west and north to the south
of the "Washington Monument" cross, you can see how the people's lit up
marks would form a large cross in the National Mall at night. We see
aerial
shots looking down on Joshua and the cross formed by the lit up marks
in the National Mall on the
large video screen. When Joshua asks the crowd in the National Mall "Do
you believe" in the dialogue above, people throughout D.C. also respond
to
Joshua in the same manner as the crowd in the National Mall at the same
time. The screens on each side of the live stage show video of
people in D.C. putting
their right fists in the air and marks lighting up on the back of many
of their right hands. This includes footage
from the streets of D.C., residential areas,
businesses, the top of homes and buildings, and at other monuments in
D.C.. This
video plays at the same time similar action in the National Mall is
playing in the
video on the large screen onstage. We also see aerial shots of all of
Washington D.C. lit up by the marks on people's hands and aerial
shots of the large cross in the National Mall formed by the lit up
marks on these
screens. At this point, Joshua speaks to the crowd once again as he
surveys the entire scene at the National Mall from above the
"Washington Monument" cross. Note:This
sequence of events involving the crowd responding to Joshua's address
and becoming Christians
as evidenced by the marks lighting
up on their hands is Joshua's unique altar call that he's done at
the
end of all his shows in the U.S. and will continue to do as he tours
the rest of the world.)
Joshua: (Blown away) Look at
all
the Holy Soldiers in the District of Calvary.
That's
right, “free
at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at
last!”
Now you
must answer the call and fight until evil is
defeated, every last soul is liberated. Difficult
times lie ahead
like
President Lincoln said but
if He is for us who can stand against us! We are the few, the proud,
we are..-(Joshua puts his hands
by his ears signaling he wants to hear the crowd.)
Crowd:
(Loud) Holy Soldiers!
Joshua: I
can't hear ya. We are..
Crowd:
(Louder) Holy Soldiers!!
Joshua:
I
know ya can do better than that. Say it like you mean it people. We
are..
Crowd: (Deafening) Holy Soldiers!!!
Joshua:
(Nodding head in approval) That's it,
now I wanna hear your battle cry!-(The
crowd starts singing the battle cry from the chorus of the song
"Soldiers" as Symbols
plays that part of the song live in front of the Lincoln Memorial.)
Crowd:
Woah
woah woah whoa
we
are soldiers!
Joshua:
Again,-(The crowd sings the battle cry
again as Symbols plays that part of the song in front of the Lincoln
Memorial but they are much louder this time.)
Crowd: Woah
woah woah whoa
we
are soldiers!!-(Joshua nods his approval of the crowd's
effort, sings the words "we are
soldiers" with them and his voice is
heard over the top of the crowd singing.
Immediately thereafter,
two RPGs are fired at Joshua from the trees at the end of and on
both sides of the reflecting pool as shown above in Model 96-98. Both
RPGs strike Joshua
in the chest at the same time causing a large explosion and
Joshua disappears from sight as shown above in
Model 99. Following this, there is complete silence in Washinton D.C..
Symbols quits playing and the crowd in
the National Mall and people throughout D.C fall silent and lower
their fists thinking Joshua has just been killed.
Video of Symbols and the stunned crowd in the National Mall plays on
the large screen onstage and the video on the screens on each side of
the
live stage shows the reaction of people throughout D.C. to the attack
on Joshua. Once the explosion begins to dissipate as shown above in
Model 100, new video begins playing on the screens on each side
of the live stage. The
video shows Dr.
Gold and Dr. Silver
watching the action taking place in the National Mall on a big screen
television in a penthouse suite at Trump's International Hotel in
Washington D.C.. They are
sitting next to each other and some of their
aides and security detail are in the room. In response to the attack on
Joshua, they look and nod at one another with evil grins on their faces
signifying they were behind the attack. However, as the explosion
dissipates as shown above in Models 100-102 and they see Josua is
completely unharmed, Dr. Gold and Dr. Silver
look at
one another completely dumbfounded shaking their head in disbelief. Dr.
Gold flies into a rage and starts yelling
and cursing pointing towards the door motioning for everyone but Dr.
Silver to leave the room. As they leave, Dr. Gold starts trashing the
hotel room,
picks up a chair and smashes the big screen television with it.
Immediately thereafter, the video playing on the screens on each side
of the live
stage changes once again and now
shows a close-up of Joshua above the "Washington Memorial" cross after
the explosion as shown above in Model 102. Although not seen
in Model 102 above, Joshua's appearance has changed following the
attack. The front of his trenchcoat is completely open and the tight
black shirt he's wearing underneath it has burnt from the middle out to
each side exposing his chest and abdomen. The ends of the
black shirt are smoldering and have an orange glow as the shirt
continues to slowly burn. Joshua's chest and abdomen are completely
intact, he hasn't been harmed at all and the "Holy Soldier" tattoo on
his
chest is visible. At this point, the
image on the large video screen onstage is as shown above in Model 102
but Joshua has the new look just described and doesn't have his arm in
the air as shown in the Model 102.
At this point, Joshua speaks once
again.)
Joshua:
(Shouting) To God be
the glory, (Joshua pauses) and to
hell with the devil! The
darkness will never extinguish the Light!-(When
Joshua shouts "To God be the glory," he looks upward and raises his
right
fist in the air, the mark on his hand lights up as before but
brighter, and the "Washington Memorial" cross lights up brightly
as
shown above in Model 103. Joshua pauses momentarily and seeing he's
completely unharmed, the crowd in the
National Mall raise their fists into the air once again, all their
marks light up as before but brighter and they let out a deafening
roar. At the same time on the screens on each
side of the live stage, the video of the
close-up of Joshua following the attack on him is replaced by video of
people throughout D.C. once again. As
with the crowd in the National Mall, the people throughout D.C. see
Joshua
survived
the attack, raise their right fists into the air once
again, all their marks light up as before but brighter and they also
let out a
deafening roar. The deafening roar
from the crowd in the National Mall and the people throughout D.C.
happens at the same time and is so loud it's heard in all of Washington
D.C.. As
the action continues, Joshua says "and to hell with the
devil" looking and pointing downward at the reflecting pool and all the
flames atop the
pool rise higher as shown above in Model 104. Following this, Joshua
shouts "The
darkness will never extinguish the Light!" Immediately
thereafter, Joshua inhales
deeply and looking down at the
reflecting pool exhales forcefully. The deafening sound of rushing wind
is
heard and the wind passes over the entire length of the reflecting
pool
starting at the Washington Memorial end of the pool and moving towards
the Lincoln Memorial end of the pool. All the flames on the relecting
pool are extinguished leaving the reflection of the "Washington
Memorial" cross on the surface of the
reflecting pool as shown above in Model 105. The
action continues
uninterrupted with Models 106-114 and the text below Model114.)

As the action continues uninterrupted, Joshua has just blown the flames
out in the reflecting pool and the reflection of the "Washington
Memorial" cross is seen on the reflecting pool surface as shown above
in Model
105. At this point,
the camera shot
changes to wide angle shot of the National Mall and the
surrounding area including a star-filled sky as
shown above in Model 106. Shortly thereafter, the following action
occurs as Joshua continues to be suspended above the
"Washington Memorial" cross. Lightning begins to strike around Joshua
as shown above in Model 107 and crashes of thunder are heard. As this
occurs, Mt. Zion appears above the National Mall as shown above in Model 108. Mt. Zion is supernatural and
transparent and not solid matter as shown in the models above posing no
threat to the crowd in the National Mall. The "Washington Memorial"
cross can be seen within the transparent Mt. Zion. Following this, the
lightning and thunder stop and Joshua
is standing on the peak of Mt. Zion against the backdrop of the
star-filled sky as
shown above in Model
109. At this point, Joshua looks up into the sky and the thunderous
voice of Christ says the following verses from Matthew 17-20 and is
heard throughout D.C..
These particular verses are known as the Great Commission.
<>
<>
Christ: All authority in heaven
and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.-(As these verses are spoken, the stars in
the sky begin to move. By the time Christ is finished with the
verses, the stars form a large world map in the night sky as shown
above in Model 110. Following this, Joshua continues looking
upward, the sky above the world map opens up and he speaks to the
people in the National Mall from atop Mt. Zion.)
<>
<>
Joshua: (Speaking loudly and intensely)
Blow
a trumpet in Zion;
sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let
all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is
coming: it's near!-(As soon as Johua begins this dialogue, the
sky above the world map opens up and a large Liberty Bell being lowered
by Christ's hand appears in the sky and lowers the bell to the top of
Mt. Zion as shown above in Models 111-114. When the bell stops on the
top of Mt. Zion, Joshua climbs aboard the bell as shown above in Model
115 and points upward. Shortly thereafter, the Liberty Bell moves
upward pulled by Christ's hand and stops towards the top of the world
map in the sky as shown above in Models 115-118. Following this, Joshua
says the next line of dialogue) Now it's time to bring the Last
Stand to
the rest
of the world.-(When Joshua says
this dialogue, the region
of
the U.S. on the world map lights up
with a "Holy Soldier" icon on it as shown above in Model 118 indicating
Symbols has already toured the
U.S.. After Joshua finishes this line of dialogue, he lifts his guitar
straight above his head with the body of the guitar high in the air and
holds the neck with both hands. At this point, Joshua begins the next
line of dialogue) Let
freedom ring from Mt. Zion to Europe,
Russia,
India, Asia,
Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.-(When Joshua says "Let
freedom ring from Mt. Zion to Europe," he thrusts
his arms and the guitar
downward striking
the front edge of the Liberty Bell with the
outer edge of the body of his guitar hard. Immediately
thereafter, the defeaning
ring of the Liberty Bell is heard across the National Mall and the region
of
Europe lights up on the world map with a "Holy Soldier"
icon on
it as shown above in Model 119. Following this, Joshua lifts his
guitar over his head again, says "Russia" and strikes the bell again
with his guitar. The deafening sound of the bell is heard once again
and the region of Russia lights up on the world map with a "Holy
Soldier" icon on it as shown above in Model 120. The
same sequence of events occurs in rhythmic fashion as Joshua says the
name of a
country or region in the dialogue above. By the time
Joshua
says " and the Middle East," the entire world map
in
the sky is lit
up with "Holy Soldier" icons on it as shown above in Model 121) Join Symbols on the Great Commission as we circle the
globe and sing a song of eternal life to a
dying world. I call on
everyone worldwide to answer the bell and let freedom ring!-(Joshua
shouts this last line of dialogue loudest of all and when he finishes
it strikes the Liberty Bell with his guitar with the greatest force.
Immediately thereafter, the bell rings out its loudest, the world map lights up in blinding fashion
and can be seen for miles and the
"Washington Memorial" cross inside Mt. Zion lights up as shown above in
Model 122. At this point, Joshua speaks to the crowd in the National
Mall at a fevered pitch building
in intesity as he uses the same "I have a Dream" syntax from Dr. King's
famous speech at the Lincoln Memorial in the 1960's)
<>
<>
I
have a Dream! I have a
dream
that one day Gold and Silver will fade to black and the King
will reign on earth for
a 1,000 years!
<>
I
have a Dream! I have dream that one day we will live
in a world free of war and the wolf will lie with the
lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, and the lion will eat
straw like the ox.
<>
I
have a Dream! I have a
dream that
one day all God's
children will dwell in a new heaven and a new earth, and there will no
longer be death or sorrow or crying or pain and these things will be
gone forever!-
<>
So fight the good fight, finish
the race and keep the faith for the day of the Lord
is at
hand!-(At this
point, the grand finale of the show begins and the volume of the
battle cry portion of the song "Soldiers" increases. Joshua raises
his guitar above his head once again and strikes the Liberty Bell.
Immediately thereafter, fireworks go off and Mt. Zion
vanishes leaving the lit up "Washington Memorial" cross in the National
Mall as shown above in Model 124. In addition, both the bell
and a defeaning explosion are heard. Joshua will
continue to strike the Liberty Bell several more times in a rhythmic fashion with
increasing frequency and power. Each time he
does so, more fireworks and explosions go off as shown above in Models
124-128 and the explosions increase in frequency, power and volume
building to a crescendo with the music.The crowd in
the National
Mall and people
throughout Washington D.C. sing the battle cry portion of the song
"Soldiers" at a
defeaning volume with Symbols until the end of the show. Right before
Joshua hits the Liberty Bell for the final time, the sky is filled with
fireworks as shown above in Model 128 and he yells to the crowd in the
National Mall) Good night D.C., we love ya and God Bless
the United States of America!-(
Immediately after saying this, Joshua hits the Liberty
Bell for the last time harder than any time before, there is a
massive
explosion much louder than any of the previous ones, the music ends,
and all the fireworks in the sky cease and Christ's hand
pulls the Liberty Bell and Joshua upwards as shown above in Model 129.
Ultimately the Liberty Bell, Joshua and Christ's hand disappear into
the night sky as shown above in Model 130. After this,
the region of the U.S. on
the world map of stars lights up once again with a "Holy Soldier" icon
on it as shown above in Model 131 indicating Symbols has toured
the U.S. thus far on its world tour. The show in Washington D.C. is now
over and the "U.S. Tour" segment has ended. The action continues uninterrupted as
the "World Tour" segment begins. As Symbols
tours the rest of the
world, the stars in the sky will move and form the
large world map of stars in the sky wherever and
whenever Symbols plays a show and that
region on the map
will light up
as shown earlier in Models 118-121. However, in some
regions like Europe, the world map will light
up country by country rather than the whole region all at once. When
the world tour is completed
and Symbols plays their final show at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem,
the entire world map of stars will be completely lit up above Jerusalem.)
<>
The Last Stand
"The
World Tour"
After Symbols ends their show in Washington D.C. and Joshua
disappears into the sky atop the Liberty Bell, the scene in the video
changes to Ronald Reagan
National
Airport in D.C.. In the video, we see Joshua, Symbols, members of
Symbols's opening act "Last
Call,"
Darlene, Harmony and others
board Symbols's private supersonic airplane. The plane takes off from
the
airport, begins flying over the Atlantic and lands
at Heathrow Airport in England. Joshua and all the cccupants exit
the plane walking down the stairs on to the tarmac. Following this, a
distant overhead shot of a jam-packed Wembley Stadium at night fades in
replacing the video at Heathrow Airport. From this vantage point, the
camera shot zooms downward until we are in Wembley Stadium looking at
the stage. At this point, the camera zooms in on the stage and we see
the band Last Call onstage and they are thanking the crowd having
played their last song. The camera shot zooms in past the stage until
we enter a room backstage. Symbols is in the room getting ready to play
their show. DW is playing on a drum pad with his sticks, Robert is
practicing on his bass, Gibby is tuning his guitar and Joshua is
reading a Bible. Robert quits playing his bass, looks at Joshua and
asks him a question.
Robert: So you think Gold had something
to do
with the attack at the D.C. show?
Joshua: I have no doubt whatsoever. The "MO"
was the same as the other attacks against us. The fact that so
called
Muslim terroists were at the scene and blamed for the attack was just a
ruse
to conceal the true identity of those behind the attack. Gold and
Silver were in the cities at the same time the other
attacks took place. I'm willing to bet they were in D.C.
during our show.
Gold's fingerprints are all over this operation.-(As soon as Joshua finishes this dialogue,
Dr. Gold and Dr. Silver open the door and walk into the backstage room.
Everyone in the room is blown away except Joshua who has a disgusted
look
on
his face. At this point, we hear Robert speak under his breath)
Robert: Speak of the Devil.
Dr.
Gold: Joshua, it's been far too long my
friend?-(Dr. Gold hugs Joshua
tightly but he doesn't follow suit. Joshua's arms remain at his side
and he pulls back from Dr. Gold. As soon as they separate, Dr. Gold
continues speaking. An undercurrent of tension between Joshua and Dr.
Gold is palpable during the meeting. Looking at the band) Why
don't you Introduce
me to the crew.
Joshua: This our drummer DW.., our bassist
Robert.. and our guitarist Gibby.-(Each
time Joshua says the name of each member, they stand up and shake hands
with Dr. Gold and remain standing up. At this point, Dr. Gold introduces Dr.
Silver to the band.)
Dr. Gold: Gentlemen, may I introduce you to Dr. Jonathan Silver, a modern day apostle and leader
of the SOUL.-(The band nods yes
and they shake hands
with Dr. Silver. Joshua is the last one to shake hands with Dr. Silver.
When he does so, their hands remain clapsed in
a death grip and their
facial muscles contract as the two enemies glare
intently into one another's eye's. Dr. Gold says "Well" loudy and
Joshua and Dr. Silver quit shaking hands in response)
Well, we're on our way to Vatican City to bring the
"World Conference for International Peace through
Religion" to a
triumphant conclusion.
Unfortunately, we can't stay for your the show but I wanted to stop by and congratulate
you guys on all your success and to see an old friend. Look how far
we've come Joshua. I'm the president of the world and your
band's bigger than the Beatles. (Joshua
doesn't respond)
We did
catch your show in D.C. a few days ago as we were there for meetings
with President Graham.-(Joshua
looks and winks at Robert reminding
him that earlier Joshua predicted Gold and Silver were in D.C. during
the rpg attack on him. Robert smiles and nods in response) It was quite the
spectacle. But tell me how did you do all those amazing tricks?
Joshua: (Irritated) Those weren't
tricks but manifestations of the Holy Spirit.
Dr. Gold: (Dismissive) In any case, (Gold pulls out a business card from his
front shirt pocket and
attempts handing it to Joshua)
here's
my
personal number. You can call me anytime 24/7 if you need anything or I
can help you in any way for the remainder of the tour.-(Joshua rebuffs Dr. Gold and Doesn't take
the card.)
Joshua: Nah, we're
good.-(Dr. Gold puts the business
card back in his front pocket and is visibly irritated by Joshua's
rebuff.)
Dr. Silver: (Looking at Joshua) I was
telling Christopher on the way over here we're a lot alike.
We're both men of the cloth with a flair for the dramatic.
Joshua: (Disgusted) Don't insult me. I'm nothin
like you. You're a fraud and (pointing
at Dr. Gold) he's
a murderer!
Dr. Gold: Whataya
talking about?
Joshua: Ya
tried to take me out in
D.C. Chris.
Dr. Gold: God no Joshua,
we're family.
Joshua: (Angry) Stop it man, we're
not family! You're nothing but bastard sons of an illegitimate
father trying to lay claim to the throne of God. I
won't be able to
stop everything you do but I promise I'll be the thorn in your
side until the very
end. I could take out
both of you myself right now and
would love nothin more but that's not how it's supposed to go down.
Your time will come.
Now get the hell
outta here before I throw you out myself!-(Dr. Gold
and Silver are momentarily stunned and caught off guard by Joshua's
comments and verocity. Following this, they collect themselves and walk
to the
backstage door en route to leaving the room. When they reach
the door, both of them stop and glare at Joshua.)
Dr. Silver: (With a devious smile) We'll say
a prayer for you at the
Vatican.
Joshua: Don't bother, we'll be there in a
few
days.
Dr. Gold:
(With a
menacing stare) Are you
sure about that Joshua? -(Dr.
Gold and Silver
turn around, leave the
room and slam the door shut. Following this, Robert speaks.)
Robert: Was that a threat?
Joshua: Sure sounded like it. Heads up with
those two they're
capable of anything.-(The band
nods in agreement.)
Stagehand: (A stagehand knocks on the door and sticks
his head inside the room) It's
time to go on.
Joshua: (Joshua
nods at the stagehand and looks at the
band. Everyone bows their
head and closes their eyes as
Joshua prays which is a pre-show ritual)
Lord, use us as instruments of righteousness so that your
harvest will be
plentiful. Let your Spirit rain down upon these people and your Word
touch their hearts so lives are changed forever
tonight. Protect us and our families from harm and
deliever us from evil. You're an awesome God! In Jesus name we pray, (Everyone says) amen.-(After this, everyone lifts up their heads,
opens their eyes and Joshua speaks once again) Let's give
them a performance they'll
never forget.-(The four of them
walk out of the backstage room and down a corridor backstage leading to
the stage
being led by the stagehand. When they are directly behind the stage
backstage, each band member stands on a hydraulic platform within
the amps that will rise and bring them onstage as shown earlier in the
beginning of "The U.S. Tour" segment. Once the hydraulic platforms
begin moving upward, the video changes and we are now in front of the
stage looking at the band members rising up from the amps as the intro
to Symbols's show takes place. We watch the entire intro as shown
before in The "U.S. Tour" Intro video. Following this, we see a series
of video clips of Symbols playing at Wembley in rapid succesion one
after another simulating the entire show until we reach the end of the
show and Joshua does his unique altar call described in earlier action) London, don't be deceived and
buy what Gold and Silver are selling. The
good news is there's a way to break free from the grip of sin and
death. All you have to do is believe in Him
and eternal life is yours.-(Looking upward and extending his arms
outward) God save the
queen and the United Kingdom.
Come
on, get those fists in the air.-(Joshua pauses and as in earlier
action, he
raises
his right hand into the air, makes a fist, and the "Mark of
the Righteous" lights up
brightly on
the back of his fist. As soon as Joshua says "Come on, get
those
fists in the air," the entire crowd in Wembley Stadium lifts their
right fists into the air and the "Mark of the Righteous"
lights
up
on the back of the right hands of some of the crowd
indicating they're already Christians. At this point, Joshua continues
speaking) Do you
believe in Him!-(When
Joshua says this, the crowd at Wembley responds loudly and the
"Mark of the Righteous" lights up on the back of the right hands of
most of the hands that weren't previously lit up indicating they've
just become Christians in response to Joshua and his altar call.
However, some people in
the crowd still have no marks on the back of their hands signifying they didn't
give their lives to Christ and thus aren't saved. Joshua speaks to the
crowd once again)
But
don't
wait because tomorrow could be too late.-(As soon as Joshua finishes this dialogue,
the deafening sound of jet engines and an aircraft descending is heard
and Joshua looks upward. Immediately thereafter, a C-5M Super Galaxy
cargo plane the largest aircraft of the U.S.
military and second largest plane in the world enters
Wembley Stadium through its open roof nosefirst at its maximum speed of
570 mph. The plane is carrying a maximum payload of 291,000 lbs
of high
grade explosives and 332,500 lbs of jet
fuel and slams nosefirst into
the middle of the crowd on the field of Wembley Stadium. The explosives
and jet fuel are detonated and the entire stadium including the stands
and stage is consumed and engulfed by a giant fireball. When the
aircraft hits the field, the video shows the action in slow motion as
the giant fireball consumes the entire stadium. The subsequent action
also occurs in slow motion. As the fireball dissipates, we see Joshua
standing onstage alive with soot from the
explosion covering his face and he's looking out at the destruction
caused by the explosion. Shortly thereafter, Joshua turns around,
looks behind himselt and sees the lifeless bodies of Gibby, DW and
Robert onstage. In slow motion,
Joshua approaches the body of each band member, shakes them and calls
out their names but they don't respond. Joshua realizes their dead,
begins crying and covers Gibson's body with his
"Holy Soldier" trenchcoat. Joshua turns around and walks to the front
edge of the stage and looks out at the entire stadium as tears run down
his face. Flames from the wreckage of the plane and the
explosion burn on the field and throughout the stadium and the scene
looks like hell itself. Wreckage of the plane and dead bodies are
strewn everywhere in the stadium as tens of thousands have been killed
and thousands more have been critically injured. As Joshua weeps
looking at the devastion, he looks lost and the soot on his face from
the explosion runs down his face. Joshua believes he's the cause of the
attack because he has made countless derogatory
and inflammatory statements about Dr. Gold and Dr. Silver at his
shows and publically for the past two years. As the action
continues, Joshua jumps off the stage and walks halfway across the
field of Wembley Stadium. As he does so, Joshua walks through flames
unharmed and lifts up huge portions of the wrecked plane in his
pathway looking at all the devastation around him. When Joshua's
halfway across the field, he flies straight upward until he is above
Wembley Stadium, stops and looks down at the carnage in the stadium.
Following this, Joshua flies across London and stops above Big Ben as
shown
below in Model 1. As he flies, we see the entire area below and the
burning Wembley Stadium is seen in the background. Once Joshua's
suspended
above Big Ben, he looks
upward into the sky and yells out loudly to God ) Oh God,
look
what I've done!-(As Joshua yells this dialogue, he rips off
his shirt, is bare chested and continues speaking very emotionally
to God) Tens of
thousands have just died because of
me and I'm stained with the blood of the
innocent. I've
failed You and the mission laid before me. (At this point,
lightning begins to strike in the sky around Joshua and Big Ben as
shown below below in Model 2 and thunder is heard
indicating the presence of God who speaks to
Joshua.)
God: No, you've done well my
faithful servant. You're but one man
and
cannot save the entire world. This is war and the enemy will stop at
nothing
to destroy the forces of righteousness. Did you really think there
would be
no blood shed? I
was looking for a soldier not a diplomat to lead my people in the last
days. You're a good soldier speaking out boldly for the Way and
taking the fight to the enemy exposing his lies and evil schemes.
Continue your mission but
you must increase your faith to fully answer your calling
and weather the storms
that lie ahead. Will you rise
up and
fight like a Holy Soldier or surrender to the forces of darkness and
claim defeat. The choice is yours.-(At this point, Joshua kneels down on one
knee and bows his head. Immediately thereafter, the lightning
and thunder cease, a ray of
light from above comes down and shines down on Joshua as shown below in
Model 3, Big Ben reads midnight and the first of 12 loud rings from
Big
Ben is heard. As the remaining rings are heard, Joshua remains kneeled
down in prayer. As the final rings are heard, Joshua stands
and looks upward and the "Holy
Soldier" outfit
supernaturally appears on him as shown below in Model 4. After the
last ring of Big Ben, the light from above quits shining on Joshua as
shown below
in Model 5 and he shouts out the following dialogue.)
Joshua: I am Holy Soldier!-(As Joshua shouts this out loudly and
forcefully, the "Holy Soldier" tattoo on his bare
chest
lights up brightly, his blue eyes turn to
orange looking like burning flames and the Christian
symbols
on his trenchcoat light up in orange looking as if
they're burning on his trenchcoat. This is a
pivotal moment in the production where for the first time Joshua fully
embraces his identity as Holy Soldier. To be continued.)

The Last Stand
"The
World Tour"
The "World Tour" segment begins when
the
country of England lights up on the world maps on the video
screens on each side of the live stage. Following this, the stage
lights
back up and Symbols
is onstage live once again. Joshua says a few words to the live
audience, shouts out the title of a song and Symbols begins to play. In
the "World Tour" segment, Symbols
performs a set of 10 original songs. During the performance
of these songs, the remainder of Symbols's world tour is
simulated and Symbols performs like a typical rock band on tour. It
takes Symbols another year to
complete their world tour and this
period
of time is
marked by the digital clock onstage. The
world maps on the video screens on each side of the live
stage track the progress of the world tour and video of
Symbols touring the rest of the world plays on the large video
screen onstage. However, the video plays directly on the large video
screen and not within a map as it did previously. The same conceptual
idea used for the "U.S. Tour"
segment where
the states lighting up on the maps on the video screens determine
the sequence of the video
clips playing on the large video screen onstage is also used for the
"World
Tour" segment. The video clips for the "World Tour" segment
include footage of Symbols on the road worldwide in famous foreign
cities and around historical landmarks, Symbols in concert around the
world, large
crowds of people worldwide
accepting Christ at Symbols's concerts or at street revivals led by
Joshua in foreign cities, Joshua
using his superpowers, healing people of
numerous maladies and raising the dead worldwide at shows and in
foreign cities, and Joshua preaching to
crowds worldwide at shows and on the streets in foreign cities. In
addition, other video clips
play updating the audience on the progress of "Operation Last Stand"
and the
status of the shelters, and on the activities of
Dr. Gold and Dr. Silver. As Symbols plays each
song of the 10 song set mentioned above, more and more of the
world maps on the video screens on each side of the live stage light up
with
the "Holy Soldier" icon
appearing in the lit up areas like it did for each state in the U.S.
Tour. For example, as the first song is
played, each country in Western Europe lights up on
the world maps moving in a easternly direction from
the already lit up region of England. When each European country lights
up, the
"Holy Soldier" icon appears in it indicating Symbols has
performed there and video from each Western European
country plays on the large video screen when it lights up on the world
maps. As Symbols
plays the remaining songs of the 10 song set, the other regions on
the
maps light up region by region in the following order as we
continue to move in an easternly direction from Western Europe;
Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Asia, Australia,
New Zealand, Mexico, Central and South America, Africa and the
Middle East. During the simulation of the world tour, some of
the most innovative and advanced staging and special effects ever
seen in a live show occur as Symbols plays the 10 song set. One of the
songs in
the set
is a medley of song clips from famous rock bands chronicling the
history of rock music from the 60's to the present time. When this
medley of songs begins, a hologram of Joshua that's supposed to be the
real Joshua appears live onstage. As the band plays the
medley of songs live onstage, Joshua uses his
shapeshifting powers and seamlessly morphs into famous
vocalists who sing the songs heard in the medley. Joshua looks and
sounds exactly like all the original vocalists including wearing their
trademark clothing and emulating their unique onstage personas. This would
include vocalists such as Robert Plant, John Lennon, Roger Daltry,
Steven Tyler, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Stanley, Kurt Cobain, Axl Rose, Don
Henley,
Roger Waters,
Bono, Bon Jovi, Mick
Jagger, Prince, Jon Cooper and Michael Sweet. The use of hologram
technology will allow us to
showcase Joshua's shapeshifting superpowers. When Symbols
plays the last few songs of the 10 song set in
the simulation of their world tour, Joshua repeatedly talks about a
worldwide musical festival entitled "The Last Stand"
that takes
place at the very end of Symbols's world tour. It's a three day
worldwide music festival headlined by Symbols and put together by
Joshua and Saul. It involves over 200 Christian bands and speakers
and is the
greatest revival and music
festival ever seen. Symbols will play live at numerous festival sites
worldwide during the three days taking advantage of the different time
zones and flying in their own supersonic jet which travels faster than
the speed of sound. The action of the "World Tour" segment continues
uninterrupted with Models 1-8 and the text below Model 8.

By the
time Symbols is
ready to play the last song of the 10 song set in the
simulation of their world tour, the world maps on the video screens on
each side of the live stage are completely
lit up except for the
country of Israel, covered with "Holy Soldier"
icons and
a
year
has passed by since the end of the U.S. tour in New York.
The digital clock live onstage marks this passage of time as shown
above in Model 2 and it's 11:00 P.M. on May 2, 2024. At
this
point, the country of Israel with only its border lit up projects
outward from the world maps on the screens on each side of the live
stage,
increases in size replacing the world
maps, and the country of Israel lights
up with the entire
Symbols's logo appearing in it rather than just the "Holy Soldier"
icon.
Shortly
thereafter, the maps of
Israel on the screens on each side of the live stage are
replaced by
pre-taped video footage of Symbols in
Jerusalem
about to play the
final song of their two year world tour. They are
playing in front of
the Wailing(Western) Wall in Western Wall Plaza which is jam-packed
with
people as shown above in Model 1. At the same
time, a large prop of the
Wailing Wall lights up behind the
live
stage extending beyond the width of the live
stage as shown above in
Model 2. The prop will be lit up for the remainder of the action in the
act
"The Last Stand" even though it's not seen in the remaining models of
the live stage. The live stage looks
exactly like the stage in the pre-taped video footage from the "Wailing
Wall." The desired effect is for
the
live action in the
auditorium to
appear as if it were actually occuring in Western Wall Plaza and in
effect the
audience
watching "The Unveiling" live becomes the crowd in Western Wall Plaza.
As was the case in the
"U.S. Tour"
segment at Central Park, Joshua and Symbols are standing in the same
exact
location live onstage as in the pre-taped video, are wearing the same
clothes and
the live stage itself is exactly the same stage seen in the pre-taped
video at the Wailing Wall. Look at the stage in the pre-taped video
footage in Model 1 and
the live stage in Model 2 to see an example of this. Any
simultaneous
action that takes place live and in pre-taped video footage
from the Wailing Wall is
in perfect synchronization. Although not pictured in
the models
below, Joshua continues to wear his
"Holy Soldier" trenchcoat from Mt. Zion throughout all the action in
the "World Tour"
segment. At
this point, the action continues uninterrupted as the musician
playing Joshua live onstage steps
up to the microphone and speaks to the live audience in the auditorium
which is in effect the crowd at the Wailing Wall in Western Wall Plaza.
As in the "U.S. Tour"
segment, the band member images used in the
models
for the "World Tour" segment don't look
like nor are they dressed like the actual band members of Symbols will
be and
are used
for reference purposes only.
Joshua:
(1)Well, we've come to the
end and what an awesome place to finish the tour. (2)(Looking
out at the crowd in Western Wall Plaza) Are
there any Holy Soldiers out there tonight!-(The crowd roars) (3)We've been broadcasting this
show and the music festival
live worldwide
and we've just been told that over four
billion people are tuned in right now making this the most watched
event in
television history. (4)What
do ya think of that people!-(Joshua
holds a mic out towards the audience, they cheer in response and Joshua nods his head in approval) (5)And this is the most successful
tour
ever, that's right
bigger
than the Beatles, Led
Zeppelin, the Stones,
U2, Metallica, Kiss, Guns n Roses.....bigger than all of them because
He's greater than all of us!
(6)We've
circled the globe
and played in every country in the world to well over 50 million people
and we thank all of you for making
our dreams come true. (7)We'd
also like to thank all the musicians, speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and of
course the 25 million of you who filled stadiums around the world this
weekend for making "The Last Stand
Festival" a monumental success. (8)(Putting his hand in
the air giving the thumbs up sign) You guys rock, you're incredible! (9)Ya know what, I wanna
see and hear from all of ya one last
time. (10)How ya doing Europe, Russia, India, China, Korea,
Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Africa,
my people in the United States of America and everyone here in
the Promised Land! (11)(Nodding his head up and down and smiling) That's
right, we've got ourselves a rockin revival
tonight. (12)Now we
have some special guests we'd like to bring
onstage. (13)Welcome the Two Witnesses, my good
friends Moses and
Elijah to the
Eternal City! (14)Let the world witness and behold the
power
of God!-(The
following action accomapnies the dialogue. The
dialogue above is spoken live onstage by the musician playing
Joshua
in
the auditorium "The Unveiling" is being performed at. After
Joshua says sentence 9 live onstage, he turns around and faces the
large video
screen on the live stage. As the live Joshua names
each
country in sentence 10, he
holds a microphone on a mic stand out towards the large video screen
and
pre-taped video footage of jam-packed crowds in large stadiums who are
attending "The Last Stand Festival" in that country
appears
on the large screen onstage. We
see banners and video at the stadiums
identifying them as being part of the worldwide festival. All the
crowds are watching Symbols's final show in Jerusalem on large video screens in
stadiums at the music festival sites. The crowds cheer in
response to Joshua holding out the
microphone on the
mic stand and calling out their country's name. Right before the live
Joshua says
"everyone here
in the Promised Land" in sentence 10, he turns back around facing the
live audience once again and the pre-taped video footage on the large
video
screen fades out. At
this point, Joshua says "and everyone here
in the Promised Land," holds the mic and mic stand out towards
the live
audience and they let out a defeaning roar. As
soon as the live Joshua onstage finishes saying
sentence 12, he turns his back to the
audience, swings his guitar around so that it's resting on his back,
and
looks upward both in the pre- taped video of Western Wall Plaza on the
screens on
each side of
the stage and on the live stage as shown above in Models 3a and 3b.
Following
this, Joshua
says
sentences 13 and 14 and points upward towards the top of the stage.
Immediately thereafter, the live stage and the one in the video go
completely dark
as shown above in Models 4a and 4b and the sound of a deafening wind is
heard. Following this, a large pillar of fire shoots
down from the sky on to the top of the Wailing Wall in the video on the
screens on each side of the live stage as
shown above in Model 5. Shortly thereafter, the pillar of fire begins
to
dissipate as shown above in Model 6 and ultimately vanishes leaving a
large burning cross atop the Wailing Wall in the pre-taped video on the
screens on each side of the live stage as shown above in Model 7. At the same time, a prop of a large
burning cross
lights up atop
the live stage. At this point, Joshua leaves the stage
both live and in the video as shown above in Model 8 and the band begins playing live music
which
will
in effect be the soundtrack for the action about to take place in the
video from Western Wall Plaza on the screens on each side of the live
stage. The action
continues
uninterrupted with Models 9-18 and the text below Model 18 as the Lord
and Moses
address the crowd in Western Wall Plaza and the worldwide television
audience. Models 9-18 show the action
talking place in the video from Western Wall Plaza that's playing on
the screens on each side of the live stage.)

Shortly after Joshua leaves
the
stage, Moses walks
out of the burning cross
that's atop the Wailing Wall and up to the front edge of the top of the
stage in the video on the screens on each side of the live stage as
shown above in Model 10. A close-up shot is used momentarily
so
we can clearly see that Moses walks out of the burning cross.
Following this, Moses spreads his arms
apart as shown above in Model 10 and points his staff into the sky
looking upward. Immediately thereafter, dark clouds
instantaneously gather above Jerusalem and Western Wall
Plaza with
lightning flashing and the sound of thunder booming. In fact, pitch black clouds
appear in the skies worldwide bringing
virtually nighttime conditions
to the entire planet. New pre-taped video footage
begins playing on the
large screen onstage showing dark clouds appearing throughout the world
bringing about nighttime conditions. At this point, the loud and thundering
voice of God says the following dialogue. Note: Moses is only seen in
the
video of Western Wall Plaza that's playing on the screens on each side
of the live stage and not atop the live stage.
God: I am the Lord thy God, who brought
you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Thou shalt have no other
gods before me. Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Remember
the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honour thy mother and thy father. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not
committ adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbour, and thou shall not covet.-(The following action accompanies the
dialogue above. When God says "Thou shalt have no other
gods before me," a
lightning bolt strikes Moses's staff, thunder is heard, God's finger
of fire shoots out of the sky hitting the Wailing Wall, and this
commandment is inscribed on the Wailing Wall in Hebrew in the video
from
Western Wall Plaza as
shown above in Models 11 and 12. At the same time, this commandment
lights up in Hebrew on the prop of the Wailing Wall live onstage in the
same
location it was inscribed in the video. Following this, God says the
next
commandment and the same sequence of events described for the first
commandment takes place as shown above in Models 13 and 14. At the same
time, this commandment also lights up in Hebrew on the prop of the Wailing Wall
live
onstage in the same location it was inscribed in the video.The same
sequence of events occurs for each of the remaining eight commandments.
Model 15 above shows the Wailing Wall with nine commandments engraved
on it and Model 16 shows God's finger of fire engraving the tenth
and final commandment on the Wailing Wall. By the
time the Lord has said all ten commandments, they have been inscribed
on the Wailing Wall in Hebrew with five commandments on the left side
of the Wailing Wall and five on the right in the video as shown above
in Model 17.
In addtion, all ten commandments are also lit up on the prop of the
Wailing Wall live onstage in the same location they are inscribed on
the Wailing
Wall in the video. The commandments on the Wailing Wall have an orange
tint as the flames
from God's finger of fire are still smouldering in the newly inscribed
commandments. The symbols for both the Old Covenant(The
Ten Commandments) and the New Covenant(The Cross) are now part of the
Wailing Wall. At
this point, Moses addresses the people in Western Wall Plaza. )
Moses: Oh children of Israel, let
him who hath ears, let him hear. What more must you see to believe! Why do you continue to wander in
the wilderness
denying Christ is the Son of
God like
your forefathers did when He walked amongst them. He is the Messiah the
prophets of old spoke about so rise up,
surrender your lives to Him and claim your birthright as
God's chosen people! He will return here in 3½ years and set up His earthly kingdom
reigning for 1000 years. Will you
join the King of Kings in the promised land or once again make for
yourselves gods
of silver and gods of gold. Your eternal destiny hangs in the
balance and the time for action is now
for great
peril lies ahead. Your
blessed
Messiah awaits your decision. What will it be!-(As soon as Moses finishes the dialogue
above, he turns around and walks towards the burning cross ultimately
entering the cross itself and disappearing from sight as shown above in
Model 18. At this point, the action continues
uninterrupted with Models 19-24 and the text below Model 24 as Elijah
addresses the crowd in Western Wall Plaza and the worldwide T.V.
audience. The band
continues to play live music
which is the soundtrack for the action about to take place involving
Elijah
in the
video from Western Wall Plaza on the screens on each side of the live
stage.)
Elijah: (1)For 3½ years
we've traveled the world prophesying and spreading the word of
God, shutting up the skies,
turning waters into blood, and striking the earth with various plagues.
(2)You're a
wicked and perverse generation for we give you signs yet
you
still don't believe, but try to kill us claiming we
are false prophets. (3)(Looking
upward) O Lord let it be known
that you
are God and that we are your servants and have done all these things at
Your word.
(4)Answer
me O Lord as You did when I stood on Mt. Carmel thousands
of years ago and battled the
Baal priests in Your name. (5)Peoples
of all
nations take notice and pay heed. (6)Man's final days are
upon us and earth will
be set ablaze and destroyed as the Lord pours out his judgement and
wrath upon mankind . (7)Billions
will perish and
the fires
of hell will burn bright in celebration. (8)Your
only hope
lies in Jesus Christ so repent
and accept Him as your Lord and Savior for there is salvation in no one
else. (9)To those
who believe,
your names
will be written in the Book of Life and you will live in glory
eternally. (10)(The volume and intensity of Elijah's voice
markedly increases) But
if you reject Him and choose instead to put your faith in
worthless idols of Silver and Gold, you will share in their ultimate
fate and be cast
into the lake of fire and tormented day and night forever and ever! (11)(Pointing at Dr. Gold and Silver and
nodding his head no) Don't fear those who
kill the body
but are unable to kill the soul; (Pointing and looking upward) but rather fear Him who is able to
destroy
both soul and body in hell. (12)And so it will be in the end of the
age;
the
angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the
righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (13)(Loudest and most intense) Heaven and earth will pass away
but the word of God stands forever!-(When Elijah finishes sentence 4, he is
looking upward into the sky, stops speaking, the
deafening sound of a rushing wind is heard, a pillar
of fire from heaven shoots downward completely engulfing Elijah
who's unaffected by the flames and he is seen within the pillar of fire
as
shown
above in Model 20.
Immediately thereafter, a deafening wind is heard once again, two
more pillars
of fire shoot downward from heaven on to the upper part of the stage
landing on each side of Elijah. Each pillar has an image of
Elijah
in it that looks exactly like the real Elijah as shown above in
Model 21. At the same exact time these two pillars of fire shoot
downward from
heaven, the pre-taped video footage already playing on the large video
screen onstage shows countless pillars of fire shooting downward from
heaven across
the entire world as the planet continues to be shrouded in darkness.
The pillars of fire land around heavily populated
areas such as major cities, sporting events at large stadiums and
at historic landmarks as shown above in Model 22. All
these pillars of fire also have an image of Elijah in them that looks
exactly like
the
real Elijah who's standing in front of the burning cross. One of the
pillars of fire shown in the video on the large
screen lands right in front of Dr. Gold and Dr. Silver who are in
Western
Wall Plaza watching Symbols's final show and they are blown back by the
force of
the pillar. When the real Elijah resumes speaking
with sentence 5, all the other
Elijahs in the pillars of fire around the world come to life and in
perfect unison with the real Elijah say the same exact dialogue above.
The other Elijahs also mimic in perfect unison the body language and
physical movements of the real Elijah as he speaks. The
video footage on the large screen onstage continues to play as Elijah
says the
remaining dialogue above and it shows crowds of people around the world
watching and listening to the other Elijahs saying the dialogue above
from within the pillars of fire. The video footage playing on the
screens on each side of the live stage continues to show pre-taped
video of Elijah speaking at the Wailing Wall with one Elijah to his
left and one to his right. All the Elijah's speak at a great
volume sounding as if
there voices are amplified and can be heard a long distance away from
where they are standing within the pillars of fires. A video clip of special note that plays
on the large screen
onstage shows a breathtaking view of the Earth in space with all the
pillars of fire
descending from heaven to earth.
When Elijah says sentence 10 from the dialogue above, the three
Elijahs atop the
stage point at Dr. Gold and
Dr. Silver in the video that's
playing on
the
screens on each side of
the live stage. At the same exact
time in video on the large screen onstage,
the Elijah that's in the pillar of fire directly in front of Dr. Gold
and
Dr. Silver in Western Wall Plaza points at them also and says the same
dialogue in unison with the Elijahs atop the stage. In response, Dr. Gold
half-heartedly
smiles but looks very angry and he has an evil glare in his
eyes. When all the Elijahs start saying the dialogue in sentence 12, legions
of angels who look as if
they're full of
rage and fury begin appearing in the skies at
the locations of the pillars of fires worldwide in the video playing on
the large screen onstage. As the Elijahs continue
saying
this
same
sentence, we see a series of video clips on the large screen showing
the angels swooping downwards very aggressively
at the people
gathered around the pillars of fire worldwide. It looks as if the
angels are going to
pick up the people and carry them away but they
fly
back upward at the last
second. The different crowds of people worldwide look extremely fearful
as
this
occurs. As soon as the real Elijah finishes the
dialogue above, he
looks upward
and holds his hands up in the air in praise. Immediately thereafter,
all the
pillars of fire worldwide with the Elijahs in them shoot upward
disappearing into the sky including the two pillars of fire atop the
stage on each side of the real Elijah as shown above in Model 23. The
pillar of fire that the real Elijah
stood within atop the stage also shoots up into the sky and disappears
but he remains
atop the stage as shown above in Model 23. At
the same time, the angels seen worldwide fly upward and disappear into
the
pitch black sky. A series of video clips on the large screen shows this
action occuring worldwide. Following this, Elijah turns around and walks towards
the burning cross ultimately
entering the cross itself and disappearing from sight as shown above in
Model 24. At this point, the action continues
uninterrupted with Models 25-33a and the text below Model 33a as "Holy
Soldier"
addresses the crowd in Western Wall Plaza and the worldwide T.V.
audience. The band continues to play live music
which is the soundtrack for the action about to take place involving
"Holy
Soldier" in the
video from Western Wall Plaza on the screens on each side of the live
stage.
The video of pitch black
clouds blanketing the skies worldwide continues to play on
the large video
screen onstage.

As
soon as Elijah walks back into the burning cross disappearing from
sight as shown above in Model 25, an image begins to emerge from within
the center of the burning cross as shown above in Model 26 and
sounds of warfare begin to be heard as the live music continues to
play. As the object continues to emerge, the sounds of warfare get
progressively louder and we see
that the object in the center of the burning cross is a large "Holy
Soldier" with its head bowed down as shown above in Model 27. Smoke begins pouring out from the
Holy Soldier and spreads over the top of the stage as shown above in
Model 28. Following this, a second guitar is heard, Joshua appears atop
the stage and walks to the front edge of the stage as
shown above in Model 29. A close-up shot is used momentarily
so we can clearly see that Joshua walks out of the burning cross. Shortly
thereafter, the large "Holy Soldier"
supernaturally comes to life lifting up its bowed head and looks out
at the audience in Western Wall Plaza. Immediately thereafter, orange
lasers
shoot out of the Holy Soldier's fiery orange eyes over the crowd in
Western Wall
Plaza as shown above in Model 30a. At this point, as the live music
and sounds of
warfare continue to be heard, the large "Holy Soldier" begins to speak
the dialogue
below.
Holy Soldier: Be
strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might so
that you will be able to stand firm
against the
schemes of the devil. Therefore, take up
the full
armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and
having
done everything, to stand firm. Stand
firm
therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, and
having shod
your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in
addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be
able to
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of
God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers
and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying
for all the Lord's people.-(As soon as the large "Holy Soldier" begins
speaking the dialogue above, his laser
eyes scan the entire crowd from right to left and left to right as
shown above in Models 30a-30e and Joshua continues playing
guitar atop the stage. As the action in Models 30a-30e takes place, the orange tint
of the newly engraved Ten Commandments on the Waililing Wall fades away
and ultimately only the Commandments are
seen on the Wailing Wall as shown above in Model 30e. When the Holy Soldier says
"and the Sword of the Spirit"
from the dialogue above, the sword of "Holy
Soldier" icon supernaturally appears above the burning cross as shown
above
in Model 31. Shortly after the large "Holy Soldier" finishes the
dialogue
above,
the lasers from his eyes shut off, he bows
his head, the sword moves
downward and stops when it's positioned over the Holy Soldier as shown
above in Model 32. The entire "Holy Soldier" icon is now in
front of
the burning cross at the Wailing Wall as shown above in Model 32.
Finally, smoke stops pouring out
from the large "Holy Soldier" as shown above in Model 33a. The same
exact
action
just
described and shown for the large "Holy Soldier" in the video on the
screens on
each side
of the live stage also occurs live onstage in perfect synchronization
with the action in the video. A
large animatronic "Holy Soldier" rises up from
the
top of the stage until it's positioned in front
of the burning cross prop atop the live stage in the same location as
the
large "Holy Soldier" is in the video and then it stops moving.
Immediately
thereafter, smoke pours out from the animatronic head covering the top of the live stage
as
shown above in Model 33b. The musician playing Joshua live appears atop
the live stage as shown above in Model 33b and walks to the front edge
of the stage playing guitar. Following this, the
animatronic Holy Soldier lifts
up its bowed head, looks at the live audience and orange lasers shoot
out over the live audience from its flaming eyes. As in the video from
the Wailing Wall, the animatronic Holy Soldier's laser eyes scan the entire live audience from right to left and left to right as he says the dialogue above and does so
in
perfect synchronization with the large "Holy Soldier" in the video. The
animatronic Holy Soldier's mouth
actually moves pronouncing the words as he speaks. When the animatronic Holy Soldier says
"and the Sword of the Spirit,"
from
the dialogue above, the sword of the "Holy
Soldier" icon appears above the burning cross prop atop the live
stage. As soon as the animatronic "Holy Soldier" finishes the dialogue
above, its lasers eyes shut off, he bows
his head, the sword moves
downward and stops when it's positioned over the animatronic "Holy
Soldier." The
entire "Holy Soldier" icon is now in
front of
the burning cross prop atop the live stage. Finally, smoke stops
pouring out
from the animatronic "Holy Soldier" as shown above in Model 33b. At this
point, the video image on the screens on both sides of the live stage
and the live action onstage are the same as shown above in Models 33a
and 33b. Keep in mind,
the Wailing Wall prop is also lit up behind the live stage extending
beyond the width of the live stage. As
the action just described for "Holy Soldier" takes place, the
pre-taped video footage
on the large video screen shows people worldwide watching this action
live as pitch black clouds continue to
blanket the
skies worldwide. We see video of crowds at "Last Stand Festival"
sites, families at home, crowds on city streets throughout the world
such as in Times Square and a massive crowd at St. Peter's Square
watching the action involving "Holy Soldier." As Joshua stated
earlier, four billion people worldwide are watching this action take place so just
about everyone is viewing this somewhere on some type of media. As the live music and
sounds of warfare continue to play, the action
continues
uninterrupted with Models 34-40 and the text below Model 40. As mentioned
previously, Joshua is wearing his "Holy Soldier" trenchcoat from Mt.
Zion even though
it's not
seen in the models.)

As the
action continues
uninterrupted with the following text and Models 34-40 above, the
intensity and volume of the live
music
and sounds of warfare increase. The live Joshua who's standing in
front of the burning cross prop and animatronic Holy Soldier atop the
live stage begins to lower into the lighting rig until he can't be seen
atop the live stage any longer. As soon as the live Joshua disappears
from sight, new pre-taped video footage
begins to play on the large video screen onstage as shown
above in Model 34. The new video
shows a wide angle
view
of the entire Western Wall Plaza as shown above in Model 34 rather than
just a close-up of the Wailing Wall and stage which is currently
playing on the
screens on each side of the live stage as shown above in Model 33a.
When the new video starts
playing, Joshua is standing atop the stage in front
of the burning cross and large "Holy Soldier" icon In Western Wall
Plaza as
shown above in Model 34. He begins
moving
forward off the stage suspended in the air and is playing guitar.
Joshua
continues moving forward in the air until he is
suspended in the air
above
the crowd in the location shown above in Model 35 and then he stops
moving. Shortly thereafter, Joshua quits playing
guitar, extends his arms out from his body
parallel to the ground with his palms facing upward, looks upward and
begins to spin around in circles in the air above the crowd. At this
point,
countless demonic angels in Western Wall Plaza that the entire world
can see encircle
Joshua
and move in for the
kill. As the demonic angels approach him, the "Holy
Soldier"
icon and Christian symbols on his trenchcoat light up. The
Christian symbols light up in orange looking
like they're
actually burning on the trenchcoat and orange
rays of
light shoot outward from the symbols in all directions projecting
images of the symbols throughout Western Wall Plaza. In effect, Joshua
has become a human kaleidoscope projecting images of the Christian
symbols
throughout Western Wall Plaza as he spins around. When
the rays of light initially shoot out from the symbols on the
trenchcoat, they cut through all the demonic angels closing in on
Joshua blowing them backwards away from him and out of sight not to be
seen again in Western Wall Plaza. The pre-taped
video
playing on the screens on each side of the live stage show the same
action just
described for the new video on the large video screen. However, the
camera shot for the video on the screens on each side of the live stage
is much tighter effectively showing a close-up of Joshua and the
immediate area around him.
As Joshua spins around, the live music being
played by the band and the sounds of warfare build to a crescendo and a
deafening explosion rocks Western Wall Plaza. Immediately thereafter,
Joshua
stops spinning around and is facing forward as shown above in Model 35,
he
plays a chord on his guitar sustaining it so it continues to be heard,
lifts the guitar up in the air over his head as shown above in
Model 36 and looks upward. Following this, the outside of Joshua's
guitar lights up in sequence quickly beginning at the bottom of the
body of the guitar and moving up
both sides of the body in unison. After the entire outside of
the body of the guitar is lit up, the entire body itself lights up and
then the light continues traveling upward
moving on both sides of the guitar neck in unison. Each time the
light moving upward on both sides of the neck is at the same level as
one of the precious stone inlays on the neck of the guitar, the inlay
lights up until ultimately all the inlays are lit up when the outside
of the neck is completely lit up. Finally, the light continues
traveling upward in unison on both sides of the headstock of the guitar
and the light
from each side comes together at the top and middle of the headstock.
At that
exact moment, a beam of light from the top of Joshua's guitar shoots
upward into the sky as shown above in Model 36 and the video on the
screens on each side of the live stage changes. We now see pre-taped
video
footage of the earth in
space as shown above in Model 37 and the beam of light
from Joshua's guitar shoots into the sky from the region of Israel.
Immediately thereafter, the
beam of light
instantaneously expands and lights up in blinding
fashion encircling
the entire planet as shown above in Model 37. The ring of light
around the earth is much brighter than the most intense sunlight and
the pitch black clouds covering the skies worldwide instantaneously
disappear leaving the skies completely clear worldwide. After this,
Western Wall Plaza and the surrounding area in
the pre-taped video on the large screen onstage lights up as if it was
daytime
as shown above in Model 38
and the live stage and auditorium also light up brightly. In addition,
the video on the screens on each side of the
live
stage changes once again and we now see pre-taped
video footage from around the world showing this miracle taking place.
The video shows countries
where it's
nightime lighting up as if it were daytime, countries where it's
daytime lighting up significantly more than it would under normal
circumstances, and people's reaction to this
global
phenomena
including those in the stadiums attending "The Last Stand Festival."
The light is so
bright that people can't
look into the sky for more than a few seconds at a time. At this point,
the thunderous and powerful voice of Christ is heard worldwide
as the video showing the global phenomena of the bright light continues
to play on the video screens on each side of the live
stage.
Christ: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will
never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. The
light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome
it. Let your light
shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father who is in heaven. (He pauses momentarily) I
am the living bread that came
down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live
forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the
world is My flesh. Truly, truly, I say to you unless you eat the flesh
of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise
him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true
drink.-(The
following action
accompanies the dialogue above. As Christ begins speaking, a bright
ring of light has encircled the earth, video
footage from around the world is showing this global
phenomena on the screens on each side of the live stage, and the video
on
the
large screen onstage shows Western Wall Plaza and the surrounding area
lit up
as shown above in Model 38. Christ
speaks so loudly and with so
much power and
force that it causes seismic activity worldwide. This is seen
in the video on the large screen as the entire Western Wall Plaza area
moves and on the other screens as buildings around the world shake
and people sway. However, the seismic activity causes only minor
injuries and no
significant property
damage.
When
Christ says "I am the living bread" from the dialogue above, manna begins
to
fall from the sky worldwide including over Western Wall Plaza as earth
continues to be supernaturally lit up. At this point, the
screens on each side of the stage show pre-taped video footage of this
phenomena occurring worldwide and the video on the large screen
shows manna falling over Western Wall Plaza as shown above in Model 39.
The manna
symbolizes the body of Christ. When Christ says "Truly, truly" from the
dialogue above, red raindrops begin to fall from the sky worldwide as
the manna continues to fall and earth remains supernaturally lit up.
The red raindrops are
actually red wine and symbolize the blood of Christ. The screens on each
side of the live stage show pre-taped video footage of the raindrops
falling worldwide and the video on the large screen shows red raindrops
falling over Western Wall Plaza as shown above in Model 39. In
particular, we
see video footage of the crowds around the world attending "The Last
Stand Festival." The crowds are looking upward with their hands
raised in praise catching and eating manna and catching red raindrops
in
their open mouths. Joshua
continues to hold his
guitar over his head as shown above in Model 39 for about 30 seconds
after
Christ finishes the dialogue above. During this
time, the beam from Joshua's guitar continues to
shoot up into the air, the entire world is lit up,
manna and red raindrops continue to fall from the sky and the video
screens show footage of this occurring worldwide. After the 30
seconds is over, the
beam from
Joshua's guitar stops shooting into the air. At that exact moment,
Joshua brings his guitar
down from over his head, the entire
world is no longer lit up, and the manna and raindrops stop falling
from the sky. The
pre-taped video on the large screen returns to nightime conditions as
shown above
in Model 40 and we see the manna and raindrops stop falling in Western
Wall Plaza.
At the same time, we see pre-taped video from around the world on the
screens on each side of the live stage showing the world returning to
normal
conditions and
manna and red raindrops are no longer falling from heaven. The skies
remain clear worldwide in the video on all the screens and the pitch
black clouds don't return. At
this point in the video on the large screen, Joshua who is
still
suspended in the air above the crowd swings his guitar
around so it's
resting on his back and begins speaking
to the crowd in Western Wall Plaza with the dialogue below.
The
video on the screens on each side of the stage changes and is now
showing the same video playing on the large screen as Joshua begins
speaking the dialogue below.)
Joshua:
(1)My friends, the days grow short and
the end is
near. (2)We stand on the brink of Armageddon and
the forces of good and
evil are mobilizing for the
final conflict. (3)Gold and Silver
will show their true colors
and
unleash
hell's fury upon the world. (4)The question is will you be a Holy Soldier or a
prisoner of war? (5)The Second Coming is at hand
and it won't be long, no not long at all before Christ walks down these
very streets
again and throws the biggest party the world's ever seen. (6)Everyone's invited, but the
choice is yours, and yours, and yours, and yours out
there. (7)2000 years ago a stones throw
away from here at Calvary, a man died on the cross for your sins
and rose
from the dead three days later. (8)Don't leave here tonight without
sharing in His
victory and being a winner at the Last Stand. (9)To my
fellow
brothers and sisters, we
all know what lies ahead and many
of us
won't
make it through these final days but our work here isn't
finished.
(10)Be bold and share the Gospel with the
unsaved and
help anyone in need.
(11)There's no doubt great trials and
tribulations await us and our faith
will be tested
more than ever but this is our moment to shine, to show the world that
even when the forces of evil are at their greatest the light overcomes
the darkness. (12)Don't fear evil even if it costs you
your
life knowing that those who came before us paid the ultimate price. (13)The race
is almost over
and the prize is within reach. (14)We will return here in 3½
years and our
hope will be
realized and our faith rewarded when He returns. (15)We got one more
song for ya tonight. (16)We've never released this song or
played it live and have saved it for this very moment along with our
final video. (17)The song and video tell the story of
every believer as we go from death row to streets of gold. (18)(Speaking loudly and pointing upward) He's calling out to
you, "Set
Me Free!"-(The
following action
accompanies the dialogue above which is spoken by
the video image of Joshua
playing in the pre-taped video on all the video screens as shown above
in Model 40. As soon as Joshua
completes
sentence 2, the video on the screens on each side of the live stage
changes
and shows pre-taped video footage of Dr.
Gold and Dr. Silver. They are in a VIP box in Western Wall Plaza
with
their security detail watching Symbols's final performance. Dr. Gold
has the front page of the Jerusalem Times in front of him which has a
picture of Joshua on it with the caption "Holy Soldier or
False Prophet?" When Joshua says "Gold and Silver"
in sentence 3,
he looks to his right, points
directly
at Dr.
Gold and Dr. Silver in the VIP box and a spotlight lights them up. Dr. Gold
half-heartedly
smiles in response to Joshua's comment but you can see the
anger he's
trying to mask as he bites down and his facial muscles contract.
Following this, Dr. Gold crosses out the picture of Joshua in the
newspaper with a pen and violently crumples the front page of the
newspaper in his hand, says a few words to Dr. Silver and they
stand up and leave the VIP box with their security
detail. As Joshua continues speaking from the dialogue above, Dr.
Gold and Dr. Silver walk out of view in
the video on the screens on each side of the live stage and the video
on
these screens changes back to the video playing on the large
screen which is Joshua speaking to the crowd in Western Wall Plaza.
Each time Joshua says
"yours" in sentence 6, he points to an area of the crowd in Western
Wall Plaza and a beam of light from above illuminates that
area. When he finishes sentence 6 saying "and yours out there," he
points at the audience watching "The Unveiling" live and the entire
auditorium lights up. As Joshua ends
the dialogue
above saying
"Set Me Free," he looks and points upward as shown above in Model 40,
the song "Set Me Free" begins to be played live, and the action
continues uninterrupted with Models 41-52 and
the text below Model 52. Click on the play button below

As the intro and Verses 1 and 2 of the song
"Set Me Free" are performed live, the action continues uninterrupted.
The video footage playing on all the video screens is the same. Joshua
is looking and pointing upward as shown above in Model 41 having
just told the audience in Western Wall Plaza that Symbols is going to
play their last song "Set Me Free." As
soon as Symbols begins to play the song live, the video on
the large screen onstage quits playing. However, video of the action in Western
Wall Plaza continues to play on the screens on each side of the live
stage and the following action occurs in the video as the intro of "Set Me Free"
plays. Fog
starts to fill the stage and the stage goes dark as shown above in
Model 42. Following this, rays of light supernaturally shine down from
above
and encircle Joshua who continues to look and point upward as shown
above in Model 43. Shortly thereafter, angels appear
from above carrying a piano as shown above in
Model 44. One angel is holding the
piano by its seat and the other is at the opposite end of the piano
holding it by its body as shown above in Model 44. As the angels
descend toward Joshua carrying the piano, they spin
around in a circular motion above the crowd as does the piano. By the
time the 29 sec mark of the song is reached, the angels
have left the piano next to Joshua suspended in the air as shown
above
in Model 45 and they begin flying upward towards the sky. Joshua sits
down at the piano with
his guitar
slung over his shoulder resting on his back as both he and the piano
are suspended in the air
above the crowd. As the song continues playing, Joshua
looks upward and
watches the angels fly upward within the rays of light. By the time the drums and
piano start to be played in the song at the 41 sec mark, the angels
have disappeared into the sky and
are no longer seen in the video, the rays of light from above quit
shining down as shown above in Model 46, and Joshua and the piano start
to spin
around in circles above the crowd as he begins playing the piano in the
video.
As Verses 1 and 2 of "Set Me Free" are performed live, the pre-taped
video shows Joshua singing and playing piano suspended above the crowd at Western Wall
Plaza as the piano spins around. The pre-taped video
of Symbols performing "Set Me Free" in Western Wall Plaza will
continue to play on the screens on each side of the live stage until
the beginning of Chorus #1 in the song. Any time pre-taped video footage of Symbols
performing the song "Set Me
Free" in Western Wall Plaza plays on the screens on each side of the
stage during the live
performance of
the song, the action in the video is in synch with the live performance
of the song.
The following action occurs live
onstage during the intro of the song
"Set Me Free" in sync and at the same time the action just described
for the pre-taped video takes place. As soon as the song begins, the video on
the large screen onstage quits playing, the live stage goes dark and Gibson, Robert and DW are onstage playing the song "Set Me Free" live as shown above in Model 47. Following this, fog fills the stage and
rays of light
shine
down from above the live stage as shown above
in
Model 48. At the exact moment the angels are first seen carrying the
piano downward in the video on the screens on each side of the live
stage, a
piano just like the one in the video appears at the top of the live
stage as
shown above in Model 49. The musician playing Joshua live is sitting
behind the piano and it
descends
from high atop the stage as shown above in Models 49 and 50 in synch
with the piano that's being carried downward by the angels in the
pre-taped video from Western
Wall Plaza.
By the time the angels quit moving downward and leave the piano
suspended in the air next to Joshua, the piano onstage is positioned
above the drum riser as
shown above in
Model 50. Immediately thereafter, the piano which is attached to a
large
overhead
track that extends out over the live audience begins moving forward
across the stage and over the audience as shown above in Model 51. Once
the piano stops moving forward over the live audience, the
lights above it are shut off as shown above in Model 52, and Joshua and the piano start
to spin
around in circles above the live audience as Joshua begins playing the
piano
live.
At this point, the first 41 seconds of the
song "Set Me Free" have been played live and the action seen in the
pre-taped video footage
has been re-created live with a few variations in perfect
synchronization with the action in the pre-taped video footage.
As Verses 1 and 2 of "Set Me Free" are
performed live, the musician playing Joshua sings and plays piano live suspended above the live audience as
the piano spins around. The live performance of "Set Me Free" and
that in the pre-taped video are
in perfect synchronization with one another. The action continues
uninterrupted with Models 53-55 and the text below Model 55 as Symbols
plays the song "Set Me Free" live.

•Why do you still doubt
My power?
•I can’t move when you
put up these walls
• There’s so much that
I want to give you,
Release the chains, release it all!
Chorus #2:
•
•
•Let Me out, Set Me Free,
•Let Me move and you’ll
see there is more to Me
•If you…open up your
heart, open up the box, Set Me Free
Free Me!!!
As Chorus #1, Verses 3 and 4 and Chorus #2
of the song "Set Me Free" are performed live, the action continues
uninterrupted.
Symbols is playing the song "Set Me Free" live and in the pre-taped
video
footage from Western Wall Plaza on the screens on each side of
the live stage. Right before Chorus #1 is played, two large video
screens emerge from the stage in the pre-taped video with one to the
left and one to the right of the stage as shown above in Model 53. These additional screens are required for
the crowd in Western Wall Plaza to view the "Set Me Free" video in its
entirety. Of
course, the extra video screens needed for the live audience to view
the
video in its entirety are already in place with the screens on each
side of the live stage. As soon as Chorus #1 begins,
the world premiere of the video for the song "Set Me Free" starts to
play on the large video screen onstage as shown above in Model 54a. At
the same exact time, the "Set Me Free" video starts playing in the
pre-taped video on the screens on each
side of the live stage as shown
above in Model 54b. As
the video for "Set Me Free" begins on the large screen onstage and in
the pre-taped video, we see
Joshua walking down the corridor
of a multi-level prison facility that is pitch black and only a light
at the end of the corridor can be seen as shown above in Model 54a. There are several stories of jail cells on
each side of Joshua and he's carrying a large metal ring in his left
hand as shown above in Model
54a. The ring has a single large gold key on it
and the word "Life" is engraved on the key. The prison
Joshua is walking in is actually hell. At this point, the pre-taped
video playing on the screens on each side of the stage changes from
showing Symbols performing "Set Me Free" in Western Wall Plaza to
pre-taped footage of the prison. The
video on these screens
shows close-ups of the jail cells and we can see faint
images of prisoners in the cells in the darkness. As
Joshua walks down the corridor on the large screen, the overhead lights
flicker and come on
momentarily as shown above in Model 55 and the prison can be seen in
more detail. It's in a state of disrepair, all the bars of the cells
are
rusted and the cement structure is old,
cracked and falling apart.
The floors of the corridor and prison cells are covered in a mixture
of human waste, blood, polluted water and vomit. Snakes slither through
the mixture and cockroaches and other insects are on the
walls and bars of the prison. As Joshua walks down the corridor in the
video on the large screen onstage and
looks at the jail cells when the overhead lights come on, he can
see there's a single person in each cell. At the same time, more detail
can also be seen in the close-up images of the jail cells playing on
the screens on each side of the live stage when the overhead lights
come on.
The faces of the people in the cells look
the same as they did when they were alive
however they're not flesh but rather spiritual beings. In addition to
anonymous people in the cells, we see historical figures such as
Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Linden, Mohamed Atta and Yassir Arafat, They look
consumed by fear, completely lost and in deep despair, are covered in
sores and visibly in pain, are screaming and weeping uncontrollably,
and
look as if they're going crazy. Some of the prisoners are
gripping the bars of the cells so tightly blood is
dripping from their fingers running down the bars and others are
sticking their arms out of the cells reaching out to Joshua saying
"help me" as he walks by. The prisoners can also be seen in the video
on the large screen just not in as much detail. A variety of different
camera shots are used
in the video on the large screen including close-ups of Joshua and his
reaction to what he's seeing, wide angle shots looking
down the corridor from behind Joshua as shown above in Models 54a and
55,
and wide angle shots looking at the front of Joshua and the area behind
him. In particular, we see a wide angle shot looking at Joshua and the
area behind him when the overhead lights come on and the corridor and
prison structure behind him looks like it goes on forever. The action continues
uniterrupted with the next paragraph of text as new video begins
playing on the screens on each side of the live stage.
When Verse 3 begins to be sung at
about
the 2:45 minute mark of the song "Set
Me Free," the video on the screens on each side of the live stage which
is
currently showing close-ups of prisoners in jail cells(hell) changes.
From about the 2:45-4:45 minute mark of the song, video of Christ's
miracles and critical events of the final week of his life play on
these screens. Joshua is seen throughout this video walking
behind and with Christ witnessing each event and miracle that takes
place in the video. In
effect, the video playing on these screens
is a
vision Joshua has as he walks down the prison corridor in the
video on the large video screen. To illustrate this, there are close-ups
of Joshua's face on the
large video screen as he walks down the prison corridor and the
same exact
video
playing on the screens on each side of the live stage is seen in his
eyes
in the close-ups. As Joshua's vision plays on these screens,
the video of him walking in the prison
continues to play on the large screen onstage, he gets closer and
closer to the light at the end of the corridor and ultimately reaches
the
light at about the 4:39 minute mark of the song. The overhead
lights of the prison corridor on the large video screen continue to
flicker and
alternately go on and off from the 2:45-4:45 minute mark of the song.
However, the light at the end of the prison corridor never goes out. Joshua also periodically looks at the
prisoners in the cells on the large video screen during this time. The first
video segment involving Christ begins playing on the screens on each
side of the
live
stage at about the 2:45 minute mark of the song "Set Me Free" and
occurs as the
first two
lines of Verse 3
are sung. This segment shows Joshua standing on the shore of the Sea of
Galilee in Biblical times with another man who is dressed in a white
cloak and
crouched down. The man draws one half of
the Christian fish symbol in the sand and Joshua responds by drawing
the other half. We don't see the other man's face but we do see a scar
on the palm of his hand as he draws half of the fish identifying him as
Christ. Following this, Christ begins walking away from the
camera and shore and Joshua follows him. We see their backsides as they
both
walk on water in
the Sea of Galilee. Next,
the
camera momentarily focuses back on the Christian fish on the shore,
water
moves over it and recedes, and the fish is no longer seen in the sand.
Immediately thereafter, the camera re-focuses on Christ and Joshua who
are now a good distance away from the shore walking on water and the
sea is becoming extremely
rough and choppy. At this point, the final two lines of Verse 3 begin
to be sung
and the camera zooms in on Joshua who's walking on the water of a
stormy Sea of
Galilee. As soon as the camera zooms in on Joshua and we are seeing the
events taking place from his vantage point, we see Christ who's still
walking in front of Joshua approach a boat carrying the disciples
that's being
tossed about by the rough sea. When the disciples see Christ
walking on the water towards their boat, they're terrified thinking he
is a ghost. Christ smiles, shakes his
head and speaks to them. Following this, Peter gets out of the boat and
begins walking on water moving towards Christ but he begins to
sink.
Christ stretches out his hand, pulls Peter up, the two of them get into
the boat, the wind stops immediately and the Sea of Galilee is calm. At
this point, we move on to the next video segment that will play on the
screens on each side of the live stage as Joshua continues to
walk towards the light at the end of the prison corridor on the large
video
screen onstage.
The action continues uninterrupted in the video on the screens
on each side of the live stage with the next video segment as we
transition
from Verse 3 to Verse 4 of the song "Set Me Free." After Verse 3 is
completed, the camera zooms in for a tight shot of Joshua walking on
water so that he is the only image on the video screens. Following
this, the camera shows Joshua step
from water to dry land. Immediately thereafter, the camera shot
pulls back so we have a wide angle shot of the entire scene and we see
the backside of Joshua who is walking on a dirt road in Israel in
Biblical times. Christ is also walking on the road a short distance in
front of Joshua. In this new video segment, Joshua follows Christ as
He walks down the road and watches Him heal several people. First, a
paralytic man on the side of the road extends his hand out to Christ
asking to be healed. Christ acknowledges the man, grabs his hand, lifts
him up, the man is miraculously healed and begins walking following
Christ. Next, a blind man on the road simply touches Christ's cloak,
his sight is restored and he also follows Christ walking on the
road. Following this, a man with leprosy falls to his knees in front of
Christ. In response, Christ lays hands on the leper, he is completely
healed and begins walking with Christ also. Finally, Christ
approaches a
cave which is the burial site of Lazarus and we see Christ say
"Lazarus come forth!" Immediately thereafter, Lazarus emerges from the
cave still wrapped in his burial wrappings and he has been raised from
the
dead. The crowd of people in the area that witnessed this can't believe
what they just saw. Christ stops walking but Joshua continues and
enters the
cave Lazarus came forth from as the camera follows him shooting his
backside. Once Joshua is
fully within the cave and disappears into darkness, the image on the
video screens is just a black screen. Shortly thereafter, with the
camera still focused on his backside, we see Joshua emerge from the
darkness as if the cave were continuous and opened up on the other
side. As Joshua exits the other side of the cave, Chorus #2 begins
as does a new video segment that will play for the duration of Chorus
#2. When
Joshua
exits the cave at the start of Chorus #2 on the screens on each side of
the live stage, he is walking on a road and
Christ is in front of him riding on a colt. People line both sides of
the road and
are putting their coats and branches from palm trees on the road in
front of
the colt carrying Christ as it walks down the road. The people are
singing and dancing in the street as they celebrate the arrival of
Christ in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Christ is smiling as he rides atop
the colt and so is Joshua as he walks behind Christ. As
this
video segment and Chorus #2 come to a close, the camera zooms in for a
close-up of Christ's face so that it's the only image on the screens.
He is smiling and has tears of joy running down his face as he enters
Jerusalem on the colt. At this point, this video segment and Chorus #2
end and the video on the screens on each side of the live stage
continues
uninterrupted with a new video segment as the instrumental part of the
song "Set Me Free" plays from about the 4:16-4:44 minute mark of the
song.
As the video on the screens on each side of the live stage
continues
playing
uninterrupted, the image on the video screens is the close-up of
Christ's face and He's smiling and has tears of joy running down His
face. As
the instrumental part of "Set Me Free" begins at about the 4:16 minute
mark
of the song, Christ's face starts to change. The tears running down his
face turn red and the smile on his face is replaced by a look of
pain and agony. At this point, the camera pulls back so we have a wide angle shot of the entire
scene and we see that people still line both sides of the road.
However,
rather than celebrating Christ's arrival in Jerusalem, they're now
mocking and ridiculing Him, and some are lamenting and mourning Him as
He carries
His cross on the way to His
crucifixion. Christ is wearing a crown of thornes and His body is
bloody and scarred from the beating He received following His arrest.
Joshua is still walking on the road following Christ but he is no
longer smiling and looks upset. At about the
4:24
minute mark of the song, Christ collapses under the weight of the cross
and Joshua is pressed into service by Roman soldiers to carry the cross
in the video on
the screens on each side of the live stage. By the 4:29
minute mark of the song, Joshua is walking on the road behind Christ
carrying the cross. At about the 4:36 minute mark of the song, the
video
shows Christ walking up the steep incline of a hill with Joshua still
behind Him carrying the cross as they approach the crucifixion
site at Calvary. By the 4:39 minute mark of the song, the video shows
the entire crucifixion scene at Calvary. Joshua is standing at the foot
of the cross looking upward at Christ
on the
cross with tears running
down his face. By this time in the song "Set Me Free," Joshua has reached the end of the
prison corridor in the video on the large screen onstage. He is no
longer
walking
and there's a single
jail cell in front of him underneath the light at the end of the
corridor. There is a sign right below the light that reads "Death Row."
Joshua
is looking into the cell and someone is in it but the
lighting is poor and no
features of the person can be seen. At this point, the person in the jail cell steps up to
the front of the cell, is illuminated by the light
above the cell and we see the person in the jail cell is Christ. Christ
grabs the bars of the cell with both hands, Joshua sees the
scars on His palms which
are visible and
fresh, and blood runs down the bars. Christ looks at Joshua, His eyes
light up as if on fire and He yells out "Free Me" at the same exact
time the vocalist does at the 4:42 minute mark of "Set Me Free." At the
same exact time in the video on the screens on each side of the live
stage,
Christ
yells out "Free Me" from the cross looking upward into the sky. Immediately
thereafter, Christ's head slumps down to the side as He dies and a bolt
of lightning strikes the top of the cross. The video on both the large screen onstage
and on the screens on each side of the live stage continues
uninterrupted as the
guitar solo from the song "Set Me Free" starts to play. Right
before Joshua quits walking down the prison corridor and is standing in
front of the cell at the end of the corridor in the video on the large
screen, he looks at the final jail cell to his left and then at the
final cell on the right. Dr. Silver is in the cell to his left
and Dr. Gold in the cell to his right. They are both
gripping the bars of the cells so tightly blood is
dripping from their fingers running down the bars, look consumed by fear and are weeping
uncontrollably.
As the guitar solo begins to play, Joshua is looking at Christ in the
jail
cell
in the video on the large screen onstage, he lifts up the ring he's
been
carrying and
puts the gold key that says "Life" into the lock of the prison cell. As
Joshua does this, the video of the
crucifixion scene on the other screens is replaced by video of
Joshua standing in front of Christ's tomb looking up at an angel who's
about to roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb. When Joshua turns the key, the prison door
slides open in the video on the large screen onstage and Christ is
transformed
from the
flesh into the spirit. At the same exact time the prison door
slides open on the large video screen, the angel rolls the stone away
from
the entrance of
Christ's tomb in the video on the screens on each side of the live
stage.
Following this, Joshua watches the
resurrected Christ exit through the entrance of the tomb and rise up
into the sky. In response, Joshua smiles and has tears of joy running
down his face. At the same exact time Christ exits the tomb on the
screens on each side of the live stage, Christ now in spirit form
exits the opened jail cell and enters Joshua's body in the video on the
large
screen onstage. At this point, the video of Joshua at Christ's
tomb on the screens on each side of the live stage is replaced by
pre-taped
video footage of Symbols
performing "Set Me Free" in Western Wall
Plaza once again that's in sync with the live performance of the song. This marks the end of the "Set Me Free"
video presentation seen on the screens on each side of the live stage.
However,
the video for the song "Set Me Free" continues to play
uninterrupted on the large video
screen onstage. When Christ enters Joshua's body from
the jail cell, his entire body convulses as if shocked by electricity.
Immediately thereafter, Joshua turns around so that he facing the
prison corridor he just walked down and undergoes a major
transfomation morphing into Christ. Joshua is standing like he's being
crucified with his arms
extended away from his body with his palms
facing forward. As Joshua's
transformation into Christ begins, there is only a faint glow
underneath Joshua's trenchcoat. Following this, the faint glow of light
increases
in intensity and bursts out of the trenchcoat through the Christian
symbols on it sending out rays of bright white light in all directions.
We
also see the scar on Christ's side that He received on the cross from
the soldier's spear as the light underneath that area of trenchcoat is
exposed. The bright white light is Christ who entered Joshua's body
from the jail cell. By the end of the guitar solo, the light will have
burst through almost all of Joshua's trenchcoat and other clothes, and
in its place is the translucent body of Christ wearing a white cloak as
shown in the models below. The light emanating from Christ and the
cloak
is blinding and we see Dr. Gold and Silver in their cells turning away
and cowering from Christ and the light. As the sequence of events with
the trenchcoat and light
takes place, Joshua's physical features are also transformed. First,
his blue eyes change into Christ's orange eyes of fire and then
Christ's
scarred palms emerge from Joshua's unblemished ones. Following this,
Joshua's face changes, hair grows from his shaved head and a full
beard and moustache appear on his face. By the end of the guitar solo,
Joshua's transfomation into Christ is complete and the only part of
Joshua that remains is the "Holy Soldier" icon that was on the back of
his
trenchcoat. The icon is now on the back of Christ's cloak and is
shining brightly particularly the sword. The
transformation of Joshua into
Christ is a conceptual idea based on Galatians 2:20.
The screens on each side of the live stage
continue to show
video footage of Symbols performing the song "Set Me Free" in Western
Wall
Plaza in sync with the live performance of the song. The action continues uninterrupted with Models 56-74 and the text below Model
74 as the vocalist playing Joshua live begins
singing once again following the
guitar solo.

Verse 5:
•Take your sword, take
your shield,
Take your armor it’s time to rise
•Walk with Me, fight for
Me,
Live for Me, you’ll never die
Verse 6:
•
•Now rise up, you’ve
been set free,
It's time to move, now you’ll see
•There is more to Me(3x)
•If you open up your
heart, open up the box, Set Me Free!
As
Verses 5 and 6 and the conclusion of the song "Set Me Free" are
performed live, the action continues uninterrupted. When the live
Joshua begins singing
Verse 5
of
"Set Me Free" following the guitar solo, he is standing atop the piano
which is suspended above the live the audience as shown above in Model
56. At the same time and in sync with the live action, the video on the
screens on
each side of the live stage also shows Joshua singing while standing
atop
the piano as shown above in Model 57. As
the "Set Me Free" video
on the large screen onstage continues to play uninterrupted, the
transformation
of
Joshua into Christ has taken place. The
light emanating from Christ
becomes so bright that it lights up the entire prison
corridor as shown above in Model 58.
As the vocalist sings the lyrics "Take your sword, take
your shield"
at about the 5:09
minute
mark of the song, Christ reaches over his shoulder and acts as if He's
going to
pull the sword from the "Holy Soldier" icon off the back of His cloak.
As
soon
as He
touches the handle of the sword on the cloak, it turns into a
real sword that is
much larger
than the one on the icon. At this point, Christ lifts the sword off his
back, puts his other hand on the handle gripping the sword
with
both hands, the blade bursts out in flames, He swings the sword
downward with great fury and drives
the tip of the sword into the prison floor which is
transformed into a street of gold as shown above in Model 58. Following
this, Christ walks down the prison corridor on the street of gold with
sword in
hand and
lip syncs the three remaining lines of Verse 5. In fact, the video
image of
Christ on the large video screen lip syncs the remainder of the song
"Set Me Free" so it appears as if He's actually singing the song. As
Christ walks down the prison corridor singing, the light coming forth
from
Him gets
brighter and brighter. By the time Verse 5 is completed, Christ has
reached the
end of the street of gold and only Christ and the light are visible on
the
large screen onstage as shown above in Model 59. The light from Christ
has
completely
drowned out the prison corridor and in essence the light has overcome
the
darkness. Note: Models 57 and 58, Models 60 and 61,
and Models 67 and 68 are prime examples of how the live and
pre-taped action are in sync with one another.
As
the video for the song "Set Me Free" continues playing on the large
screen onstage and the beginning lyrics of Verse 6 "Now rise up" are
sung by the Joshua(and Christ), Christs lifts up
His arms and the
sword upward motioning
for the people to rise. Immediately thereafter, the
background behind Christ changes from the bright light
to clouds as shown above in Model 60. As Christ raises his arms and the
sword upward
on the
large
screen, Christians in the crowd in Western Wall
Plaza
that are watching Symbols perform "Set Me Free" supernaturally rise up
off the ground in the video on the screens on each side of the live
stage. At
the same time, Christians
worldwide rise up into the air, and Joshua and
the piano which are already suspended in the
air
above the crowd in Western Wall Plaza rise up even
higher as shown above in Model 61. The Christians in Western
Wall Plaza rise to the same height as Joshua does in Model 61. As the
song continues to play, the video on the screens on
each
side of the live stage changes and now shows pre-taped video footage of
Christians
worldwide including those at
"The Last Stand Festival" sites rising
up into the air. We see
those that don't rise up looking dumbfounded and confused as to why
they're not rising. When
Joshua
begins singing the lyrics "There is more to me" for the first time at
the 6:02
minute mark of "Set Me Free," an image behind Christ begins to emerge from
within the clouds as shown above in Model 62.
By the time "There is
more to me" is sung for the last time, the image within the clouds is
clearly visible and it's New Jerusalem as shown above in Model 64. This
entire
sequence
of action is shown above in Models 62-64. Keep in mind, New Jerusalem
will look much more spectacular in the actual production than it
does in the model used above. In the
recorded version of
"Set Me Free," the music following
the
end of the vocals fades out and the song ends. However, when the song
is performed live, Symbols
will continue playing instrumental music after the vocals end. As the
music plays on after
Verse 6
is sung, Christ greets Joshua at the entrance to New Jerusalem as shown
above
in Model 65 and he continues
walking on the street
of gold
ultimately entering New Jerusalem as shown above in Models 66 and 67.
At this point, the video for the song "Set Me Free" ends and
the image remaining on the large video screen is Joshua walking inside
New
Jerusalem as shown above in Model 67. By the time
the "Set Me Free" video ends, all the
people worldwide including
those in Western
Wall Plaza
return
to the ground and the video on the screens on each side of the live
stage changes showing Joshua and Symbols playing in Western Wall Plaza
once again. After
this, Joshua
and the piano lower back to their original
position above the crowd as shown above in Model 68.
As the action continues in the video on the screens on each side
of the live stage,
rays of
light from above shine down on Joshua and he gets off the piano and
moves away from it. Following this,
the same angels that brought the piano to Joshua in Western Wall Plaza
earlier appear in the sky once again.They move downward, pick up the
piano and fly
upward with the piano as shown above in Model 69 ultimately
disappearing from sight. After this, Joshua starts
moving towards the stage in the air above the crowd in Western Wall
Plaza until he is back onstage again as shown above in Model 70. By
this time, the stage is lit back up, the last
image from the "Set Me Free" video that's on the video screen fades
away and is replaced by lights and
lighting trussels as shown above in Model 70. Shortly thereafter, the
pre-taped video footage playing on the screens on each side of the live
stage ends and the screens fade to black. This same
sequence of events just described for the action in the pre-taped video
also
occurs live in the auditorium "The Unveiling" is being performed at in
sync with
the action in the video as shown above in Models 71-74. The musician
playing Joshua is standing atop the piano which is suspended above the
live audience as shown above in Model 71. Cables lift Joshua off the
piano and move him over the live audience towards the live stage as
shown above in Model 72. As Joshua
flies over the live audience, the live stage lights back up and the
video screen onstage is showing the last image of the "Set Me Free"
video which is Joshua walking inside New Jerusalem as shown above in
Model 73. By the
time Joshua reaches the live stage, the final image from the "Set Me
Free" is no longer on the large video screen and is replaced by lights
and
lighting trussels as shown above in Model 74. Finally,
Joshua arrives on the live stage with the rest of the band as shown
above in
Model 74. Note how
the live stage as shown above in Model 74 and the stage in the
pre-taped video as shown in Model 70 are the same when this sequence of
events is completed. The action
continues
uninterrupted with Models 75-84 and the text below Model 84 as Symbols
continues to play instrumental music following the end of the song "Set
Me Free."

As
the action continues
uninterrupted with the following text and Models 75-84, the
pre-taped video playing on the screens on
each side of the stage has just ended and Symbols is playing the very
end of the song "Set Me Free"(instrumental music) live onstage as shown
above in Model
75.
All the action accompanying Models 75-84 occurs live onstage and no
video plays on the screens on each side of the live stage. As
Symbols
continues playing live, a large prop
of the
"Symbols" logo
begins to move downward from high above the
stage being lowered by Christ's pierced hand as shown above in Model 76. The
cymbal of the prop is shining brightly and rays of light from above
reflect off its
surface,
lasers
are shooting out from its perimeter in all directions out over the
crowd and there is
smoke pouring out from underneath it but none of this is shown in the
models above. As the Symbols's prop
moves downward, Gibson and Robert walk up the piano ramps
and stand atop the amplfiers as
shown above in Models 77 and 78. At the same time, the drum riser moves
downward decreasing in size until it's level with the amplifiers, and D.W. and his
drumset lower
into the drum riser itself as
shown above in Model 77 until they are no
longer visible as shown above in Model 78. Shortly thereafter, the
bottom part of
the "Symbols" prop lowers
into the drum riser, the prop stops moving downward and its large
cymbal
sits atop the drum riser as shown above in Model 78. At this point,
Joshua backs up towards the drum riser, and Gibson and Robert walk
across the amplifiers and stand on top of the
cymbal
as shown above in Model 79. Immediately thereafter, Joshua levitates
upward on to the front of the cymbal of the Symbols's prop
as shown above in Model 80. Once the
band is on the cymbal as shown above in Model 80, the prop begins
to move
upward being lifted by Christ's pierced hand as shown above in Model
81.
As
this occurs, D.W. and his
drumset rise up from within the drum riser and are visible
once again as shown above in Model 81, and
the drum riser returns to its original size as shown above
in
Model 82. As the Symbols's
prop continues moving upward so do D.W. and his drumset. The drumset is
actually on top of a smaller drum riser that's within the original
riser
that
allows the drumset to extend beyond the height of the original drum
riser as
shown above
in Model 83. As the Symbols's prop, drumset and musicians continue to
move
upward, the music builds in intensity and volume. By the time the
Symbols's prop and the musicians on it have risen so high they are no
longer visible to the audience, the music reaches its crescendo.
At that exact moment, a defeaning
explosion is heard, the
music stops abruptly and the song "Set Me Free" is over, the entire
stage goes dark and the drum riser
returns to its original size as shown above in
Model 84. However, the drumset is no longer on the drum riser as shown
above in Model 84. D.W.
and
his drumset have actually lifted off the smaller drum
riser and
continue to move upward being pulled up by cables that are attached to
both a
platform underneath the drumset and the lighting rig above. However,
this
happens when the stage is dark so the audience doesn't see this occur.
Although
not visible in Models
75-84, the Wailing Wall prop is lit up behind the live stage as the
simulation of Symbols's final show in Western Wall Plaza continues.The action
continues uninterrupted with Models 85-102 and the text below Model
102.

As the action continues
uninterrupted with the following text and Models 85-102, the entire
stage will light up sequentially until it's completely lit up
once again. All the action accompanying Models 85-102
occurs live onstage and there is no video playing on the screens on
each side of the live stage. When this sequence of action begins, the
entire stage is dark, fog begins filling
the
stage as shown above in Model 85 and there is silence. Shortly
thereafter, pre-recorded soundtrack music starts playing as fog
continues filling the stage. Following this, colored
lights on the left and right
sides of
the stage light up in sequence at the same time moving from the
outermost
lights inward until they are completely lit up as shown
above in Model 86. Immediately thereafter, video
of the "Last Stand" artwork("Holy Soldier" superhero symbol) appears on
the large video screen as shown above in Model 87. <>As soon
as the "Last Stand" artwork is on
the video screen onstage, we hear
live guitar
start playing along with the soundtrack music. At that
exact moment,
blue lights illuminate Gibson
who
is now standing high above the stage on the left
side of
the lighting rig playing guitar with his head bowed, a dove lights up
below
him and
blue lights
radiate from the dove as shown above in Model 88.
Following this, we hear live bass start playing with the soundtrack
music. At that exact moment, green lights illuminate Robert who is now
standing high above the stage
on the right side of
the lighting rig playing bass with his head bowed, an Ichthys(fish)
symbol
lights
up below him and green lights
radiate from the Ichthys as shown above in Model 89.
Next, live drums are heard playing with the soundtrack music. At that
exact moment, orange lights illuminate D.W. and his drum set which are now
suspended in the air right above the "Last Stand" artwork as shown
above in Model 90. At the same time, two large transparent
Ten Commandment
tablets located in front of the D.W.'s
drumset light up and the drum riser itself lights back up as shown
above in Model 90. As the action
continues, a second live guitar is heard playing with the soundtrack
music, a cross lights up in the
middle of the lighting rig and
gold lights
radiate from the cross as shown above in Model 91. At the same time,
Joshua begins to emerge from within the drum riser illuminated by gold
lights with his head bowed as shown above in Model 92 until ultimately
he is completely visible as shown above in Model 93. Shortly
thereafter, live piano begins to be heard and both piano ramps light up
in sequence at the same time as shown above in Model 94. The piano
ramps don't light up all at once but rather key by key starting with
the keys touching the stage up to the keys touching the amplifiers. The
individual keys light up quickly in sequence as if someone were
actually playing a real piano and running their fingers along the
entire length of the keyboard. As soon as the final key on each ramp
lights up which are the keys touching the top of the amplifiers, the
amplifiers and the remaining lights onstage light up as shown above in
Model 95. At this point, the entire band is now playing instrumental
music and the soundtrack music fades out. The instrumental
music will build in
intensity and ferocity as the action continues. Although not visible in
Models above, the Wailing Wall prop is lit up behind the live stage as
the
simulation of Symbols's final show in Western Wall Plaza continues.
As the action
continues uninterrupted live onstage, the entire stage is lit up once
again as shown above in
Model 95, the band is playing instrumental music building in intensity,
their heads are bowed and there is no
video playing on the screens on each side of the live stage. At this point, Joshua lift
his head up looking out at the audience and
brings
his guitar up and back as shown above in Model 96. Immediately
thereafter,
Joshua plays a chord and thrusts his guitar down and forward pointing
it at the
audience all in one motion. At that exact moment, a huge explosion is
heard and
fire shoots up on both sides of Joshua and onstage as shown above in
Model 96.
Gibson and Robert who are still high above the stage on the lighting
rig also lift their heads up and do the same exact motion in perfect
unison with Joshua and
will do so
whenever he does. Shortly thereafter, Joshua lifts his guitar up
and back
again, plays a chord and thrusts his guitar down and forward once
again. At
that exact moment, another huge explosion is heard, fire shoots up on
both
sides of Joshua and onstage, and fireworks start going off onstage as
shown
above in Model 97. As the music increases in intensity and volume
building to
a crescendo, the drum riser starts moving forward with Joshua on top of
it
stopping at the front edge of the live stage as shown above in Model
98. Shortly
thereafter, fireworks all over
the stage go off, flames shoot up into
the
air, lasers(not seen in models above) from the stage shoot out across
the crowd and confetti falls all over the stage as shown above in Model
99.
In addition, the keys of the piano
ramps
light up in sequence key by key moving from the top of the amps down to
the stage
and from the stage back up to the amps repeatedly. In synch with
each
piano key that lights up the
corresponding live
piano note is heard as if someone were actually playing piano on the
ramps
themselves.
Finally,
a series of explosions is
heard as
Joshua repeatedly lifts his guitar back and up, and plays a chord
swinging his
guitar down and forward all in one motion as described above. On the
final and loudest explosion, the band
quits
playing music and the stage looks like Model 100 above leaving Joshua
alone onstage. The remaining lit up objects onstage which includes the
drum riser, the "Last Stand" artwork, two
panels of colored lights, the drum set and tablets, and the cross form
a
large cross and arrow onstage when lit up as shown above in Models
100-102.
At this
point, the drum riser moves back to its original
position as shown above in Model 101. Shortly thereafter, Joshua turns around, slings
his guitar around so its resting on his back and looks upward on the
live stage as shown
above in Model 102. In addtion, the Christian
symbols and "Holy
Soldier" icon on Joshua's trenchcoat are lit up. The
action continues
uninterrupted with
Models 103-113 and the text below Model 113.

As the action
continues uninterrupted with the following text and
Models 103-113, Joshua is alone onstage and
the remaining lit up objects onstage form a large cross as shown above
in Model 102. The
sound of a rocket or ballistic missile preparing to take off starts to
be heard but is very faint and will get progressively louder as the
action
proceeds. At this point, video begins to play on the screens on each
side of the live stage once again and shows the same
action that's currently taking place live onstage as shown above
in Model 103. The live and
videotaped action are in sync with one another as shown above in Models
102 and 103. As the action continues, the lit up objects that
form the cross onstage in both the videotaped and live action begin to
light up in sequence
starting with the drum riser and moving upward as shown above in Models
104-108. Shortly after the cross lights up as shown above in Model 108,
the sequence starts over
as the drum riser lights up again as shown above in Model 109. This
occurs both live onstage and in the videotaped footage at the Wailing
Wall. When
lighting up in sequence, the objects also form a large arrow that
points
upward or heaven bound. After a few cycles of the remaining objects
lighting up
in sequence, Joshua
begins to levitate upwards in both the video as shown above in Model
110 and live onstage being pulled up by cables as the objects continue
to light up in sequence. At the same time, the sound of the rocket or
missile gets significantly louder and the amount of fog onstage
increases as shown above in Models 110-113 looking just like it does
when a rocket or missile starts to take off. In essence, the drum
riser is the bottom part of the rocket or missile where the smoke comes
out from when taking off. This entire sequence
of
action fits nicely into the military theme of the "Holy Soldier." As
the
remaining
objects onstage
light up in sequence in the video, Joshua
levitates to
the top of the burning cross as shown in Models 110-113 and the roar of
the rocket or missile becomes deafening in the auditorium. The
remaining objects
on the live stage also continue to light up in sequence as the musician
playing Joshua is pulled upward by cables. However, the live Joshua
disappears into the lighting rig and doesn't appear at the top the live
stage where there is a prop of the burning cross with the animatronic "Holy Soldier"
in front of it. Once
Joshua stops moving
upward in the video, all the objects are lit up forming the cross and
arrow as
shown above in Model 113, all the objects on the live stage are also
lit up forming the cross and arrow and the deafening roar of the
missile or
rocket fades out. Most of the remaining action in the act "The Last
Stand" is video footage from the Wailing Wall that's shown on the video
screens on each side of the
live stage. The
live stage will continue to show the lit up cross onstage, and the prop
of the large burning cross and
animatronic "Holy Soldier" at the very top of the stage. The
action continues
uninterrupted with
Models 114-118 and the text below Model 118.

As the action
continues uninterrupted with the following text and Models 114-118, Joshua
is suspended in the air at the top of the burning cross looking upward
into the sky as shown above in Model 113, the objects lit up onstage
form a cross and arrow as shown above in
Model 113, and the deafening sound of a rocket engine or missile is
fading out.
Immediately thereafter, a series of loud
explosions like
those associated with firework shows are heard and fireworks start to
appear in the sky above the Wailing Wall as Joshua watches from atop
the cross as shown above in Model
114. At the same time, a series of explosions is heard live and
fireworks go off above the prop of the burning cross
and the animatronic "Holy Soldier" at the top of the live
stage. Shortly
thereafter, in the video on the screens on each side of the live stage,
the
deafening roar of a jet engine is heard and
a military jet traveling east to west flies through the
fireworks as
shown above in Model 115. The jet is releasing white smoke from
its wings
as shown above in Model 115, flies over Joshua and
he turns around and points at it as shown above in Model 116. At the same time, another
military jet releasing white smoke from its wings traveling
west to east is seen flying in the sky perfectly lined up with the
other jet at the same altitude and they're heading straight at one
another. As the jets
approach one another in the sky above Western Wall Plaza, they pull up at the last
second, go completely vertical heading
straight up into the sky and are perfectly lined up mirror images of
one another as shown above in Model 117. The smoke these planes release
creates
the vertical parts of two large crosses in the sky above
Western
Wall Plaza that are mirror images of one another as shown above in
Model 117. After these jets travel a
good distance vertically, two other military jets flying completely
sideways with their wings perpendicular to the ground with one
traveling
north to south and the other south to north are seen flying in the sky.
They are both flying at the same altitude which is at the height where
the horizontal parts of the crosses would be located in relation to the
vertical
lines the other two jets have already created. As these two jets fly
towards
one another, they release horizontal trails of white smoke and pass one
another in the center of the crosses where the vertical and horizontal
parts of the crosses intersect as shown above in Model 117. The jets
continue to release smoke as
they pass one another until they have completed the horizontal part of
their respective crosses as shown above in Model 118. Following this,
all the jets quit releasing
smoke and break formation at the exact same time.
When the jets
are completely
done
with their manuevers, there are two large crosses in the air high above
Western Wall Plaza created by the white smoke released from the planes
as shown above in Model 118,
the crosses are mirror images of one another
with one facing east and the other west and they are back to back to
one another with space in between them. There are two crosses
because the two sets of planes involved in the manuevers each created
their own cross. This entire sequence of
action
involving the jets is choreographed with a great deal of precision
like you would see
at an air show. As soon as the jets that
created the crosses break formation, they increase their air speed
flying greater than
the speed of sound and a series of four
deafening sonic booms are heard. Immediatrly
thereafter, the white trails of smoke
that form both crosses
begin changing to fire sequentially at the same time. The trails of
smoke that form the vertical part of each cross turn to fire moving
from the bottom
upward and from the top downward at the same time meeting at the center
of each cross. At the same time, the trails of smoke that form the
horizontal parts of each cross turn to fire moving from the outermost
parts of
the horizontal portion of each cross inward meeting at the center of
the cross. As this occurs, the space in between the trails of smoke
fills in with fire until ultimately there are two large crosses of fire
in the sky when all the smoke has changed to fire. Finally, the space
in between the two mirror image crosses fills with fire and in effect
are fused together forming one massive three dimensional burning cross
that
looks like the cross atop the Wailing Wall. However, there is
no "Holy Soldier" icon in front of this cross and it's much, much
larger than the
burning cross atop the Wailing Wall. Note: the large burning
cross
above Western Wall Plaza is much higher in the sky that would be
indicated by the altitude of the jet plane shown in Model 115. I had to
put the jet in Model 115 lower than it would have been in the sky to
fit it into the model. The
action continues
uninterrupted with
Models 119-130 and the text below Model 130.

As the action continues
uninterrupted, Joshua looks upward and points at the large burning
cross in the sky above Western Wall Plaza as shown above in
Model 119. Immediately thereafter, angels fly out both sides
of the cross holding large gold
trumpets and form a circle around the cross. The angels blow their
trumpets in unison at a defeaning volume that can be heard throughout
Israel. Following this, Symbols and their symbols light up
onstage and they begin playing music once again which will ultimately
transition
into a hard rock version of the song "The Battle Belongs to the Lord."
At the same time, thousands of angels fly out of the burning cross all
of
which are carrying swords and hundreds of other angels leave the
burning
cross in chariots of
fire being pulled by
horses of fire. The angels fly above Western Wall Plaza and the
surrounding area including Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in what is a
visual spectacle. At this point, Symbols begin playing the song
"The Battle Belongs to the Lord." and the
angels that exited
from the large burning cross sing the harmonies and background vocals
with Symbols.
The Battle Belongs to
the Lord
When Symbols finishes playing the song "The Battle Belongs to the
Lord," the band continues to play instrumental music and the following
action occurs. All the angels start flying towards the large cross in
the sky and will ultimately enter the cross disappering from sight. As
this occurs, a chariot of fire being pulled by horses of fire appears
above the Wailing Wall en route to pick up Joshua as shown above in
Model 121. Once the chariot pulls up next to Joshua, he gets into it as
shown above in Model 122 and addresses the audience one last
time.
Joshua:
We
are
Symbols. God Bless all of you and never forget the battle always
belongs to the Lord!-(As soon as Joshua finishes this dialogue,
he points at the large burning cross in the sky and the chariot begins
moving upward en route to the cross and Symbols continues playing music
as shown above in Model 123 and 124. The crowd
starts chanting "Symbols, Symbols" repeatedly at a
deafening volume as the chariot carrying Joshua heads towards the
burning cross in the sky. Joshua joins the angels and chariots
of fire carrying angels in the sky that are also flying towards the
large cross. By the time Joshua arrives at the entrance to the large
burning cross, all the other chariots and angels have entered the cross
and he is the last one to enter. As soon as he enters the cross and can
no longer be seen, the large burning cross instantaneously
disappears and a booming explosion is heard that causes seismic
activity and blows out windows all across Jerusalem. Immediately
thereafter, Symbols quits playing and the stage goes dark as shown
above in Model 125. As the
crowd continues to shout "Symbols, Symbols" at a
deafening volume, colored lights on the left and right
sides of the stage light up in sequence moving from the outermost
lights inward. Once the lights are completely lit up as shown above in
126, the "Last Stand" tour artwork lights back up
as shown above in Model 127 and comes to life. We see the same
superheroes that
were on the posters in Joshua's bedroom within the artwork and they say
the
following Bible verses.)
"The Superheroes"
Trailer
Superheroes:
(John 3:3) "Truly, truly, I
say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God,"
(Matthew 18:3) "Truly,
I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will
never enter the kingdom of heaven," (Romans 6:23)
"If
your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to
enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into
the unquenchable fire, for the wages of sin are death," (Revelation 3:20) "Here
I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens
the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me." (Push

button above the Bible verses entitled "The Superheroes" to see an
example
of what this video
sequence would look and sound like. After you
view the
video,
you will need to hit the
"back" button on your browser to return to this page and continue
reading the production. Keep in mind, this is
just an example and in
the actual video the superheroes themselves will speak in their own
voices. As each superhero
says the words of the Bible verses and morphs into
the next superhero, the new superhero picks up where the prior one left
off so the verses are spoken in a continuous manner. At
the same time each superhero morphs into the next, his/her iconic
superhero symbol also morphs into the iconic symbol of the next
superhero who
speaks. "Holy Soldier" doesn't start saying the first Bible verses
until the "Symbols" sword rises upward and he unbows his head looking
forward. Christ says the entire verse of Revelation 3:20 Himself. As
soon as He finishes this verse, Christ morphs
into Holy Soldier and bows his head, the"Symbols's"
sword re-appears moving downward and covers the face of Holy
Soldier. This marks the end of Symbols's final show, the colored
lights and "Last Stand" tour artwork go off, and the "Holy
Soldier" icon in front of the burning cross on top of the Wailing Wall
vanishes as shown above in
Model 128. The act "The Last Stand" is now over. Click on the
