The Prophecy

"Humans... and how I love you talking monkeys for this... know more about war and treachery of the spirit than any angel."

"Some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little. But how many people lose their faith because Heaven showed them too much?"

"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, He sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?"

"And in the end, I think it must be about faith, and if faith is a choice, then it can be lost - for a man, an angel, or the devil himself. And if faith means never completely understanding Gods plan, then maybe understanding just a part of it - our part - is what it is to have a soul. And maybe in the end, thats what being human is, after all."

"I remember the First War, the way the sky burned, the faces of angels destroyed. I saw a third of Heavens legion banished and the creation of Hell. I stood with my brothers and watched Lucifer fall. But now, my brothers are not brothers, and we have come here, where we are mortal, to steal the Dark Soul, not yet Lucifers, to serve our cause. I have always obeyed, but I never thought the War would happen again."

"I was the first angel, loved once above all others. A perfect love. [sing-song] But like all true loves... one day it withered on the vine..."

"Archangel Gabriel has brought the second war of heaven to Earth."

"Marked by Fate, Doomed by Prophecy... Time is Running Out for Mankind!"

"Study your math, kids. Key to the universe!"

"Other angels have made this war because they hate you, you and all humans. God has put you in His grace and pushed them aside. Theyre desperate. Theyve never been able to conquer the other loyal angels, and so this war has remained in stalemate for thousands of years. And while this state of affairs endures, no soul can meet its God. Your parents, and their parents, and so on from the beginning lie still in wormy Earth. Of course, some of them do come to me eventually, for while Heaven may be closed I am always open, even on Christmas."

"[shrill whisper] I love you! I love you more than Jesus!"

"God? God is love. I dont love you."
