The crowds continue to be obsessed with Jesus’ miracles instead of his preaching. Irritated, Jesus tells his disciples that from now on he will preach in code, using parables, and soon those who don’t ask for explanation will lose their chance to hear God’s Word — and their chance to benefit from his miracles.

Jesus goes on a cruise with his disciples. As the war with the dragon heats up, his miracles get bigger, better, more amazing — but Jesus keeps his promise: he begins to hide his miracles from the crowds.

Jesus sends out twelve men as captains to raise an army for him. He organizes and feeds the army. The disciples realize Jesus is God’s chosen king, they are definitely on the winning side, they are ready to march off to Judgement Day! — but Jesus says, “Hold on, not so fast, guys, I’ve got some bad news…”

God the Father meets Jesus on a mountain and confirms that he has earned the right to be crowned king. The disciples start to assert themselves as ministers of God’s coming kingdom — only to get the smack down from Jesus: apparently there is a hidden cost to victory, and it is too soon to celebrate.

As Jesus begins to march toward Jerusalem to claim his crown, he sends out his heralds to announce his takeover of Satan’s kingdom. Satan’s demonic army falls apart. Satan himself gets locked out of God’s courtroom forever.

As Jesus continues his victory march toward Jerusalem, he begins to write his kingdom’s constitution. The law of crushing details is repealed. The law of compassion is restored.

One morning, Jesus reveals that his Law of Compassion is based on the Fatherhood of God, and all his disciples have to do to become God’s children is…ask him.

That same evening, some Pharisees get upset at how Jesus breaks their religious rules (again!). Jesus condemns them for being unfaithful greedy control-freaks. He fires them — and then begins to train his disciples to take over management of God’s kingdom.

That night, Jesus continues to deconstruct the Pharisees’ obsessive-compulsive religious worldview, and replace it with God’s true Law of Compassion.

As the night goes on, Jesus begins to train his disciples in Kingdom Management Principles. He warns them against repeating the Pharisees’ mistake: he doesn’t want to catch them napping when he returns unexpectedly to claim his kingdom. The disciples begin to realize the countdown to Judgement Day might not be so straighforward.
