A brief cut from my screenplay







"EYES OF REVELATION"
by Vincent Owens

FADE IN.

EXT. FLYING OVER AGEAN SEA - DAY.

Credits being displayed as we fly over the Agean Sea to the island of Patmos.

The camera focuses on a man stumbling along the shore line of the island around 90 AD.

JOHN
(v.o.)
The revelation of Jesus Christ which God
gave to Him to show to His slaves the
things that must quickly take place; and
He made it known by signs, sending it by
His angel to His slave John, who testified
the word of God and the testimony of Jesus
Christ, even all that he saw. Blessed is
he who reads and those who hear the words
of the prophecy and keep the things
written in it, for the time is near.

John works his way across the shore-line to his humble

shelter.

INT. JOHNS SHELTER ON THE ISLAND. - DAY.

John sits and begins writing in his dimly lit shelter. He

writes upon old parchment with a primative pen. Yet there is

a peace upon his face, for he knows all is in God's hand.


JOHN
(v.o.)
John to the seven churches which are in
Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who
is and who was and who is coming, and from
the seven Spirits who are before His
throne, and from Jesus Christ, the
faithful Witness, the Firstborn of the
dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the
earth. To Him who loves us and has
released us from our sins by His blood and
made us a kingdom, priests to His God and
Father, to Him be the glory and the might
forever and ever. Amen.
Behold, He comes with the clouds, and
every eye will see Him, even those who
pierced Him; and all the tribes of the
land will mourn over Him. Yes, amen.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the
Lord God, He who is and who was and who is
coming, the Almighty.
I John, your brother and fellow partaker
in the tribulation and kingdom and
endurance in Jesus, was on the island
called Patmos because of the word of God
and the testimony of Jesus.
I was in spirit on the Lord's Day and
heard behind me a loud voice like a
trumpet,

Transition to vision earlier.

EXT. PRAYING OUT ON THE ISLAND. - DAY.

It is a clear day when John hears a voice behind him.


VOICE
(sound of many waters and thunder)
What you see write in a scroll and send it
to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to
Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and
to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to
Laodicea.

John turns to see the voice and when he turns he sees seven

golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands One

like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment reaching to the

feet, and girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle.

And His head ad hair are as white as wool, as snow; and His

eyes are like a flame of fire; and His feet are like shining

bronze, as having been in a furnace; and His voice is like

the sound of many waters. And He has in His right hand seven

stars; and out of His mouth proceeds a sharp two-edged

sword; and His face shines as the sun shines in its power.

And when John sees Him he falls at His feet as dead; and He

places His right hand on him.

VOICE
(sound of many waters and thunder)
Do not fear; I am the First and the Last
and the living One; and I became dead, and
behold I am living forever and ever; and I
have the keys of death and of Hades. Write
therefore the things which you have seen
and the things which are and the things
which are about to take place after these
things. The mystery of the seven stars
which you saw upon My right hand and the
seven golden lampstands; The seven stars
are the messengers of the seven churches,
and the seven lampstands are the seven
churches.

(background sound of many waters and thunders) John looks up

to the sky and we see a passanger jet flying over.

Transition to present time.

EXT. PASSANGER JET FLYING OVER HEAD - DAY.

Zoom in toward jet.

INT. PASSANGER JET - DAY.

Professor Vincent sitting in his seat with eyes closed and

stretched back listening to news program with the headphones

on..

NEWS REPORTER
(O.C.)
..that's it for the sports...now back to
you Don!

REPORTER 1
(O.C.)
Today in Europe the polls are proving
interesting ... most citizens of Europa
are excited about the charismatic greek
politician Odysseus Hayden. This young
politician sure came up in the polls since
last month's world-wide debate. Vatican
City has jumped on Hayden's bandwagon
since the debate and now Germany is the
next stop and the polls are showing favor
for every endeavor of Mr. Hayden.

Most people thought the US was
irresponsible for their withdraw from the
UN... but US officials repeated the words
they have spoken since last week..."We
should have no more need to defend, since
Europa is clearly predominate enough to
care for their own hemispheres. They are
now responsible for their own peace and we
may now care for our own borders, laws and
citizens."

Stewertist walks up to Professor Vincent and asks if he

would like a fresh iced tea.

STEWARDIST
(smiling)
Would you like a fresh tea sir?

She gently taps him on the shoulder with the gentleness of

an angel. Her voice is like the singing of angels to PV as

he removes the headphones.

STEWARDIST
Sir, were going to be landing in about a
half hour... would you like me to refresh
your drink??

She smiles with charm and innocence.

PROFESSOR VINCENT
Why thank you miss!

smiling and blushing at the same time because he is

overwhelmed at her beauty.

PROFESSOR VINCENT
I would love to have another tea. Are we
really that close to landing?

STEWARDIST
Yes Sir..we should be in Rome in a half
hour.

PROFESSOR VINCENT
Yeah ... then it's a three hour wait till
my plane to America.

STEWARDIST
Sorry to hear that sir... but Roma is a
beautiful city and has many things to
see... three hours is not enough time.

She winks and grins at the Professor. He raises his eyebrows

in surprise. She walks away to get his drink while PV

replaces the headphones on his head.

INT. AIRPORT IN ROME - NIGHT.

It's quiet in the airport this early 4:30am. A few people

are in the cafe waiting for their next flight. PV is walking

toward the cafe himself. There is a Jewish youth sitting in

a seat hunched over. This young man will one of the two

olive trees...one of the two witnesses in Jerusalem. Zech.
4:2-6; Rev. 11:3-7

PROFESSOR VINCENT
Are you ok young man? Do you speak
English?

Young man looks up from the floor to PV.

YOUTH
My friend.. I am waiting for a blessing
from the Lord. For I have been called back
to the good land.

PV looks at the youth rather curiously.

PROFESSOR VINCENT
What is this blessing and what is the good
land?

The youth smiles at PV and proceeds to explain his

situation.

YOUTH
I do not know what the blessing is but the
good land is the land God has given to His
people.. the land of Israel. He has called
me back and I am compelled to obey His
voice. He has called me out of Egypt...
that worldly system ...that I might speak
forth His glories in the Beautiful city.

PV reaches into his jacket pocket remembering the tickets he

has for his trip to Jerusalem next month.

PROFESSOR VINCENT
My son... I believe now I know what your
blessing is... I am giving you a ticket to
Jerusalem that I was supposed to use next
month... but after my last trip and the
news I heard tonight.... I will have no
need for them... for I too have been
called to do something. I believe this a
blessing to me as well.

PV smiles from ear to ear and hands the youth the ticket.

The youth reaches out humbly thanking PV and the Lord.
Fade out -- fade in
