The Attorney General has appointed ten Special Agents calling them the Special Agent Task Force. Their mission is to communicate a message to the world of the greatest importance. The importance of this message is of even greater urgency. The mission and message is contended in a single communication by a not –so-secret agent of Christ- John the Apostle.
