Before the creation of the world, before the creation of mankind, he is there. The unfolding of this new Genesis fascinates him. He is drawn to study the fresh life forms called humans. In the beginning, he marvels at their existence. He roams the face of the Earth to interact and mingle with this newly created species. Through the passing of the ages, the humans begin to disappoint him. He grows weary of their arrogance and greed. He is repulsed by their constant warfare and pursuit of power. The humans change. He changes. Now, he's on a quest. He seeks one pure human according to his standards. If he finds the one he seeks, he'll leave this world and mankind to its own destiny. If he doesn't find the one he seeks, he's going to destroy the world and every living creature upon it. Neither president of the United States nor the Russian Federation have any of knowing that they are both pawns in the destruction of the world. He's going to use the pair to help annihilate the world using the global stockpile of nuclear arms. Mankind's biggest deterrent to war will become its worse failure when every nuclear weapon in the world is detonated at once. After the nuclear holocaust, he'll terminate any survivors. The human race has no way of knowing that the clock of life is drawing to its final conclusion. Mankind's continued existence depends upon the success of his quest. He possesses no particular desire to battle the angels who will try to stop the destruction of the world. He also has no plans to avoid the confrontation. It won't affect him one way or the other. His existence will continue for eternity. He always has been, and will always be, The Being.
