Paradise Lost and Watchers of Heaven
Paradise Lost & the Watchers of Heaven Book One is a lucid literary rendition of the biblical story of God's creation of heaven, the angels, the earth, man, and the entire flora and fauna on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lucifer's libelous rebellion against God, his most humiliating and tragic expatriation from celestial eminence to a desolate chasm and perpetual damnation as a crawling serpent, his devious deceit of Adam and Eve, and their consequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden by their Creator to forever fend for themselves to eke out a living.Sweepingly set in heaven and on earth, and astutely articulated in resonant dramatic poesy, this play by Tchinda Fabrice Mbuna is the most sublime divine exaltation, adulation, and ovation of King Elohim by the immaculate-white-donned rank and file of Seraphs and Cherubs in a rapturous procession of scintillating fanfares. The woeful failure of Lucifer and his riff-raff army to vanquish Michael and his courteous army in a deafening extraterrestrial onslaught on the one hand, and God's allusion to His almighty power as the sole Creator of the universe on the other hand, humble every unbeliever to submission.This play unleashes a quantum of spiritual potency that is capable of self-summoning any dibia or charlatan to the beck and call of God's throne. It is the most lavishing and luscious display of lunar lactase.
