It’s Time

My waiting is finally over. Oh, I’ve been back for short visits from time to time, checking to see if the social climate is right for my return. Although there were times when the social and political climate looked promising, however, when I stopped in for a closer look, something just didn’t feel right. The fall of Rome to the Visigoths in 410AD looked promising, but the Eastern part of the empire remained strong for centuries after that event, so I waited.

One may have thought that the Dark Ages would be ideal for someone like me to not only survive, but grow more omnipotent than I already am. True power comes from not simply controlling the masses. It comes from controlling the minds of those who control the masses. The intelligence level of those running the world during that period was so low, I would have needed to spend too much of my valuable time educating instead of ruling, so I waited and waited.

Earth’s inhabitants, or should I say, the children of my children, continued to grow and evolve, taking a two-steps-forward, one-step-back approach. They discovered secrets of the universe only to call the discoverers heretics and jail them or put them to death. The explorers among them learned the Earth was round, not flat, a fact that some refute even to this day. New continents were discovered, as were other societies. Of course I could have shared this knowledge with them, but they weren’t ready to be told. My children needed to learn everything on their own.

Before I continue, you should understand why I call you my children. It’s because many of you are. I’m Adam’s first wife. We weren’t together long enough to have children. It was through him and that little tart, Eve who some of you can trace your lineage. The rest of you are direct descendants of me and my second husband, Lucifer. We are the ones who are responsible for your desire to follow a leader blindly even when you know he or she is wrong. The trait is called unbridled loyalty. I hope this helps you understand your heritage.

Time marched forward, and it became apparent that many of my descendants were displeased with the way life was being controlled. Countless wars erupted around the planet. What was needed was a supreme leader to control people’s thoughts and deeds. What they needed was me. It was tempting, but two more occurrences needed to happen before I felt the world was ready for my triumphant return. The first event was that one country had to drop an atomic bomb, and the second was that a world leader needed to convince a large segment of the population that he was their savior. 81 years have passed since the bomb was dropped. The second event is happening now.

Unfortunately, his ego is interfering with the great overall plan. Many once loyal followers are renouncing their leader and falling by the wayside. I do not want to wait another century or so for another great leader to take control. It is time for this make-believe dictator to stand down so a true leader may rule. In case some of you haven’t figured it out, my name is Lilith, the first of her name and the first woman to walk the Earth. Within weeks, I will resume my rightful position as leader of Earth and all its minions.

To those of you who trace your lineage back to my waste of space first husband, Adam, I will show mercy to a point; after all, you couldn’t choose your daddy. All will be good as long as you behave, but misbehavior will not be tolerated. Everyone, please rise and repeat after me; that means you too, little orange boy.

“All Hale Lilith, Ruler of the Earth.”
