  Mary, you are greatly favored, the Lord is with you.
• 0:09
  Who are you? How do you know my name?
• 0:12
  I'm Gabriel do not be afraid, Mary.
• 0:16
  God sent me to give you this message.
• 0:18
  You will have a baby and named him.
• 0:20
  Jesus. He will be called The Son of
• 0:23
  God, and his kingdom will never end the Son of God.
• 0:28
  But but how I mean to have a baby have to have a man with
• 0:33
  God, nothing is impossible. Even your aunt Elizabeth as old
• 0:38
  as she is and never able to have a child is now going to have a
• 0:41
  baby Mary. The holy spirit will come on you
• 0:46
  and his power will cover you. Your child will be holy, I'll do
• 0:50
  whatever. God asks of me, I am your
• 0:53
  servant. Lord, I believe what you have
• 0:56
  said and I say let it be. So Damon Damon.
• 1:11
  Yes. Master.
• 1:13
  Did you feel that? Feel what just a moment ago.
• 1:17
  It was a rumbling. Oh, that yeah boy.
• 1:22
  Did I feel it? It came from Heaven.
• 1:24
  No, it came from the chili, ate for lunch yesterday.
• 1:28
  I've been rumbling all day, huh? You dummy?
• 1:34
  I'm not talking about that. There was a rumbling in the
• 1:37
  heavens just now. Something is going on like what?
• 1:42
  I don't know. But I haven't felt that kind of
• 1:45
  stirring since God created Adam and Eve.
• 1:48
  Oh how about that time? We got kicked out of heaven.
• 1:52
  Oh just send out the scuds. Oh you mean the secret plan of
• 1:58
  undercover demons? That's what I said.
• 2:01
  The scuds and I want a full report within 24 hours Master,
• 2:07
  we've been doing this for that. Thousands of years, we've never
• 2:11
  been able to get a report on anything in 24 hours.
• 2:14
  Sometimes it takes years to figure out what God is doing up
• 2:18
  there, okay? So I'm a little anxious.
• 2:21
  Just tell them to hurry right away.
• 2:24
  Master Time to go to work, boys.
• 2:40
  Where Have You Been Gabriel? I've just returned from a
• 2:44
  top-secret mission Bethlehem files.
• 2:47
  Wait a second. We're the SWAT team.
• 2:50
  Secret, warring Angel tactics division Hall.
• 2:52
  Can we weren't informed about this top?
• 2:54
  Secret mission. Sorry, fellas.
• 2:56
  This one had to be handled with extreme care, straight from God
• 3:00
  into my hands. I was told to deliver it
• 3:03
  personally. Oh, it must be big.
• 3:06
  It probably has something to do with the Son of God.
• 3:09
  Is he right? Gabriel.
• 3:10
  Yes, Angelo the Son of God has been conceived in the womb of a
• 3:14
  girl named Mary of Nazareth? Yes, wait a minute.
• 3:20
  God said the baby would be born in Bethlehem.
• 3:23
  You're right. Jonathan Bethlehem is a quiet
• 3:26
  little town and we want to keep it quiet as long as possible
• 3:30
  will move Joseph and Mary there at the last minute at God's
• 3:33
  command. That's your job Angelo.
• 3:36
  I will tell you when and how no problem.
• 3:39
  Jonathan, I want Mary watched around the clock but don't do
• 3:43
  anything to attract any scuds. If you notice anything strange,
• 3:47
  I want to know immediately you can count on me.
• 3:50
  Gabriel the rest of you. Get ready to sing sing?
• 3:56
  Yes, sing, we have nine months to put on a show, like, nothing
• 3:59
  anyone has ever seen Gabriel. We don't know how to sing.
• 4:03
  We're Warrior angels. We were all a little bit.
• 4:06
  Busy these days. Jonathan God wants us to sing.
• 4:09
  So, we're going to sing as for not knowing how to sing.
• 4:12
  You have nine months to learn. I suggest you start taking some
• 4:15
  singing lessons. Now let's get to work.
• 4:21
  Special delivery for the Bethlehem files.
• 4:25
  Gopher. Are you sure you belong in this
• 4:28
  Angel Division? If you'll just give me a secret
• 4:30
  assignment, I'll show you. I belong.
• 4:34
  What's the message? Gopher?
• 4:36
  Lems but nothing we can't handle it.
• 4:39
  Seems Joseph is having some doubts about Mary's condition.
• 4:43
  I'd better go. Pay him a little visit when he
• 4:45
  ain't gonna let me go on a secret mission for you.
• 4:48
  Gabriel your day is coming, gopher, your day is coming.
• 4:52
  That's what you always say. I could marry do this to me
• 5:04
  first. She tells me that she's going to
• 5:06
  have a baby and then she tells me that her baby is the Son of
• 5:09
  God. She must think I'm crazy.
• 5:12
  What am I gonna do? God, what am I going to do?
• 5:15
  I love her. I don't want to hurt her, but
• 5:18
  I'm going to have to call off the wedding.
• 5:21
  I won't tell anyone what happened.
• 5:23
  I'll just say it didn't work out.
• 5:25
  That's what I'll do. I won't tell anyone Joseph, son
• 5:32
  of David. Do not be afraid to marry Mary.
• 5:35
  Did you get that? What I mean is don't be afraid
• 5:39
  to take. Mary as your wife, her baby was
• 5:42
  conceived by the Holy Spirit. When the baby is born, you are
• 5:46
  to name him. Jesus, he's going to save all
• 5:49
  people from their sins. It has been prophesied that a
• 5:52
  virgin will have a baby and they will call him Immanuel, which
• 5:56
  means god with us. I won't tell anyone.
• 6:01
  Well, that's probably wise after all.
• 6:04
  You didn't believe Mary. So why would anyone believe you?
• 6:08
  I mean a virgin having a baby as a once in the world.
• 6:11
  Miracle, it's over Mary get out of town.
• 6:16
  I won't tell anyone, huh? What are you saying?
• 6:19
  Oh, you're asleep. Okay, I'll visit you in your
• 6:23
  dreams. Damon.
• 6:40
  I've been very patient for nine. Long months.
• 6:44
  Have you any news camel prices are up and the Giants are in the
• 6:50
  World Series. Again, no dummy.
• 6:52
  What are the scuds doing this? Guys don't play baseball,
• 6:56
  they're demons on a secret mission.
• 6:58
  I know that. What do they know about that
• 7:03
  rumbling in heaven? I want to know what God is up
• 7:06
  to. If you hadn't gotten us thrown
• 7:08
  out of Heaven, we'd have a much better chance of knowing what
• 7:11
  God is up to. If I hadn't gotten us thrown out
• 7:14
  of Heaven, I wouldn't be asking you what's going on.
• 7:19
  Ouch now, have they found out anything in the last nine months
• 7:23
  about what that rumbling was to the best that we can figure?
• 7:27
  It was just another earthquake but Still checking into it, you
• 7:32
  know, something to get kicked out of heaven, was bad enough,
• 7:35
  but to spend eternity with you is pure torture.
• 7:46
  No, no no. This can't be happening.
• 7:50
  Not now, what's the matter? Joseph, we have to go to
• 7:53
  Bethlehem to be counted and taxed your from Bethlehem.
• 7:56
  You didn't tell me that you didn't ask, then we have to go,
• 8:00
  but it's almost time for the baby to be born.
• 8:03
  It's a dangerous Journey. Remember this is God's baby.
• 8:07
  Do you think? God will let anything happen to
• 8:09
  us? He promised that he would never
• 8:11
  leave us or Forsake us he also promised to send his angels to
• 8:14
  protect us wherever we go. You're right.
• 8:17
  Besides what if this is, God's way of getting us to go to
• 8:20
  Bethlehem? So the baby can be born there in
• 8:24
  Bethlehem, are you crazy? Everything will be fine, Joseph,
• 8:28
  I'll start packing for the journey.
• 8:30
  I'll go find us a mule. I don't want you to have to walk
• 8:33
  all that way. It's 80 miles, you know, So far
• 8:40
  so good. The census idea.
• 8:42
  Worked Mary. And Joseph are preparing for the
• 8:45
  journey as we speak. Great, make sure they arrive to
• 8:48
  Bethlehem safely. Jonathan any sign of Scott
• 8:52
  activity? Nothing at all, those demons are
• 8:54
  definitely in the dark. That's an understatement.
• 8:58
  Good job Jonathan let me know if anything changes now.
• 9:02
  How are the singing lessons going?
• 9:04
  Oh, those yeah. Yeah, they're Jonathan.
• 9:09
  They well, we, we couldn't, um, we've been really busy.
• 9:15
  It's been almost nine months. No, Scott activity.
• 9:18
  No new orders from gopher all this time, which means no SWAT
• 9:22
  activity. The show is happening, more than
• 9:24
  likely in the next week or so we'll get the others ride on it,
• 9:28
  gotta go? Yeah, I'm watching out for scuds
• 9:31
  remember, Where were those two going in?
• 9:38
  Such a hurry. Gopher, you're just the angel.
• 9:41
  I was looking for. What do you need?
• 9:43
  Gabriel, I'm at your service. How are your singing abilities
• 9:48
  thing? It's one of my specialties
• 9:51
  really so this is Bethlehem. No wonder we moved away.
• 10:00
  There's the end. I'll get us a room wages.
• 10:05
  F are you okay? Mary.
• 10:07
  I'm okay, but this baby wants out.
• 10:10
  Don't worry, I'll be right back. How do you blind or what?
• 10:18
  We have no rooms. I'm sorry.
• 10:21
  I didn't see any sign sign. You must be from a big city.
• 10:26
  Yes, sir. We're from Nazareth.
• 10:28
  Yeah, it figures well, here in Bethlehem.
• 10:32
  We don't have signs if the doors open.
• 10:35
  There's room if it's closed will fool.
• 10:38
  Sorry. But sir my wife is about to have
• 10:41
  a baby please. You know you should have thought
• 10:44
  about that before. You drugged your here, all the
• 10:47
  way from Nazareth, is not my problem.
• 10:51
  To think my ancestors used to live in this dump of all the
• 10:56
  times for Cesar to tax us. Forcing us to return to our
• 10:59
  ancestral home. Why did it have to be now?
• 11:02
  God, this would have been a lot easier and Nazareth.
• 11:05
  Joseph, it'll be okay. Try talking to The Innkeeper,
• 11:09
  one more time. Tell him, you have money.
• 11:11
  He probably thinks we're Beggars.
• 11:13
  We're filthy, from all of our traveling you again.
• 11:20
  I do. I told you we have no spare
• 11:23
  rooms. Everyone is here for the tax.
• 11:25
  Thanks to Caesar please. Sir we have money.
• 11:29
  We just need a place for my wife to give birth.
• 11:32
  I don't know why I'm saying this, but there is a stable out
• 11:36
  back where we keep our customers animals.
• 11:39
  It's all I have. Thank you.
• 11:41
  Sir. Here are some rocks.
• 11:43
  You may need them. Well, Mary, we have a stable and
• 11:49
  some Rags. Oh, I think it's time Joseph.
• 11:52
  Come on, I've never delivered a baby before.
• 11:56
  You will find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a
• 12:00
  Manger. I'd better check on the choir.
• 12:03
  It's showtime. All right, SWAT team.
• 12:10
  Are you ready? No, sir, we are not ready and if
• 12:13
  you don't mind me asking, where is the audience?
• 12:17
  There are only a few Shepherds down there.
• 12:19
  So you have nothing to worry about with those Shepherds.
• 12:22
  Remember you all? Come in at the end of the song,
• 12:25
  singing Glory to God in the highest.
• 12:28
  Peace on Earth. Good.

  This is the news. We've been waiting for our whole
• 13:51
  life. So what should we do?
• 13:54
  We've got to go to Bethlehem, Oh, I'm glad that's over.
• 14:02
  That has to be the hardest assignment we've ever had.
• 14:04
  Yeah, I'd rather fight a thousand scuds at least it
• 14:08
  worked. Good job.
• 14:09
  Go for thanks, Gabe. Excuse me.
• 14:12
  I mean Gabriel sir. Sorry.
• 14:22
  All right, so what in heaven is going on up there, the scuds are
• 14:27
  onto something mastered. It seems the SWAT team is in
• 14:30
  Bethlehem. In fact, they just performed on
• 14:33
  a hillside to a group of Shepherd performed.
• 14:37
  Yeah, an angel choir. They sang a song.
• 14:41
  What song The scuds didn't hang around to find out?
• 14:45
  They were a little frightened but all the Angels they said
• 14:48
  they saw Gabriel there to neighbor.
• 14:51
  What's He doing there. I think he's the choir director
• 14:55
  singing in Bethlehem what is so special about Bethlehem?
• 15:01
  If I was going to do something I do it in Jerusalem.
• 15:06
  Hmm. I've been thinking, do you think
• 15:08
  God could be getting ready to send the Redeemer?
• 15:12
  You know, the Christ? I hope not.
• 15:16
  But if so it would have to happen in Jerusalem, this
• 15:20
  Bethlehem show could be a Or to divert our attention, send a
• 15:24
  scuds to Jerusalem on the double right away.
• 15:27
  Master You can't outsmart me. God.
• 15:33
  One of these days. I will rule heaven.
• 15:55
  Iraq, worthy. I'm not worthy.
• 15:59
  Visitors from the East. Oh great.
• 16:01
  King Herod your highness to see you.
• 16:04
  I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy.
• 16:08
  I hate this job. Thank you for the gifts.
• 16:14
  This is most kind of you. I am amazed that news of my
• 16:19
  greatness has reached such a long distance.
• 16:23
  Well, how can we say this? We three kings are bearing gifts
• 16:29
  to the one born King of the Jews.
• 16:32
  We have come to worship him. We have been following his star
• 16:36
  but can no longer find it. The last we saw it was near this
• 16:40
  part. Of the country.
• 16:41
  We thought maybe you would know where to find this Christ child.
• 16:45
  This is the first I have heard of any Christ child.
• 16:49
  Where was this? So-called King born.
• 16:53
  The Scrolls tell us out of Bethlehem will come the ruler of
• 16:57
  Israel. You mentioned a star.
• 17:01
  Yes, we first noticed it nearly two years ago.
• 17:05
  Bethlehem is not far less than a Day's Journey on the South Road.
• 17:10
  Go and find this child and then bring me word of his whereabouts
• 17:16
  so that I may go and worship him too.
• 17:27
  Gabriel, we have a problem. What's the matter?
• 17:30
  Well, I was doing that star thing over Bethlehem, you know,
• 17:33
  keeping an eye on everything. Well, it got cloudy for a few
• 17:36
  days. So I took a break from Star
• 17:37
  Duty, so I could stay close to Jesus little.
• 17:40
  Did I know that three wise men from the East had been following
• 17:43
  the star? And when they didn't see it
• 17:44
  anymore, they were like three blind mice hunting for cheese.
• 17:47
  So what's the problem they stopped in Jerusalem to ask King
• 17:52
  Herod for directions and they're supposed to be Wiseman.
• 17:55
  They might as Avast, the Devil Himself for directions, not to
• 17:59
  mention. They're a couple of years late,
• 18:01
  settle down guys. We've kept a pretty tight lid on
• 18:04
  the Bethlehem files Herod doesn't know a thing about
• 18:07
  Jesus, well, he does. Now, I noticed a patrol of scuds
• 18:11
  flying by Bethlehem and so I followed them to herod's Palace.
• 18:15
  I heard the wisemen asking for directions to Bethlehem Herod,
• 18:18
  told them to find the child, which he's guessing is around
• 18:21
  two years old by now, and to return with his whereabouts.
• 18:25
  So that he can and get This worship him to.
• 18:28
  Oh, isn't that sweet? Who is he trying to fool three
• 18:32
  wise men from the East? That is definitely a problem.
• 18:36
  I'm sorry Gabriel as soon as they left the palace, I saw the
• 18:39
  scuds heading towards hell, I immediately use the star to lead
• 18:43
  the wisemen straight to Jesus. Before any demons had a chance
• 18:45
  to follow them. Good thinking Jonathan.
• 18:48
  All right SWAT team. This is a code red.
• 18:51
  Jonathan get Joseph and Mary out of Bethlehem take whoever you
• 18:55
  need. Just don't attract any scuds.
• 18:58
  Where do I take them? Special delivery for the
• 19:05
  Bethlehem files. What is it?
• 19:07
  Go for moving Waters, God's one step ahead of us.
• 19:11
  Like always take Mary and Joseph to Egypt, got it?
• 19:16
  Angelo. Take the rest of the team.
• 19:18
  Warn the wise men to go home a different way hair.
• 19:20
  It is not someone, they should be friendly with, consider it
• 19:24
  done. Is there a secret mission?
• 19:27
  You need me to do? Gabriel as a matter of.
• 19:31
  That gopher there is. What is it?
• 19:34
  Are you sure you can sneak in without any scud seeing?
• 19:36
  You just give me a chance. I'll show you.
• 19:40
  All right. Go to Jerusalem and get me a
• 19:43
  pepperoni and mushroom pizza with extra cheese.
• 19:46
  All this excitement is making me hungry, very funny.
• 19:54
  I knew it, I knew it. The Savior has come.
• 19:58
  I told you Bethlehem was the place but no, you insisted it
• 20:02
  had to be Jerusalem but Master, you're the one that insisted on
• 20:07
  Jerusalem. Are you calling me a liar?
• 20:12
  I would never call you a liar. It may be in the Bible Sunday,
• 20:16
  but I would never call you one. Where are those scuds?
• 20:20
  Why haven't we heard back from them?
• 20:22
  I do. You the SWAT team is in
• 20:25
  Bethlehem again, so the scuds are waiting in Jerusalem with
• 20:28
  Herod where it's safe until those three Eastern guys return.
• 20:32
  Well, what's taking those Wise Guys?
• 20:34
  So long bethlehem's less than a Day's Journey away.
• 20:38
  They could have been there and back ten times by now.
• 20:41
  Maybe they lost. How could they be lost?
• 20:45
  Maybe they're not going back. Do you think the Angels might
• 20:49
  have warned them about us? You know, you're not as dumb.
• 20:53
  Um, as you look, you're Dumber. Of course.
• 20:56
  They warn them. Oh, what are we gonna do?
• 20:59
  We're not doing anything. You are going to find the scuds
• 21:04
  and get Hera to send his troops into Bethlehem to find the
• 21:08
  Christ child and kill him. Yes, master.
• 21:13
  Oh, what does he look like? What's who look like the Christ,
• 21:16
  child. How am I supposed to know?
• 21:19
  That's your job? I don't care if you kill every
• 21:22
  boy in Bethlehem. M, you make sure he's dead.
• 21:31
  Where is everyone? They should be back by now.
• 21:36
  Joseph, Mary, and Jesus are safe in Egypt under our Messiah
• 21:39
  protection plan. The wise men returned home
• 21:43
  safely on a different route. Boy is Herod.
• 21:46
  Hot scuds are screaming everywhere.
• 21:49
  Good job that will complete the Bethlehem files for now that
• 21:53
  town isn't as quiet as it used to be and it definitely will
• 21:56
  never be the same. So what do we do now?
• 22:01
  Singing? Lessons.
• 22:07
  All right. Fellas.
• 22:08
  Try to keep up. Start Spreading the News.
• 22:07
  All right. Fellas.
• 22:08
  Try to keep up. Start Spreading the News.
