Book Two:
Birth of an Age
Summary
The Messiah of the New Age.
His coming is prophesied by more than a dozen major religions. Cloned from live cells of Jesus Christ found
on the Shroud of Turin, Christopher Goodman was born into the most turbulent
time in human history. Already two
nuclear holocausts have shaken the planet – the first destroying much of the
Russian Republic, and the second killing nearly a billion people in China,
India, and Pakistan. Unknown to the
world’s inhabitants, an even greater threat is waiting just beyond the Earth's
horizon – a threat that may annihilate the entire human race. Thrown from their orbits by the spiritual
powers of two religious madmen, one who claims to be the 2000-year-old Apostle
John, three asteroids are hurtling toward the planet.
Fated to live from biblical times until Christ’s return, the
Apostle John has awaited fulfillment of the visions he described in the book of
Revelation. But John and his cohort,
apostate Hasidic rabbi Saul Cohen, are not satisfied to merely witness the
Apocalypse – they intend to cause it.
Christopher
Goodman, the only one who can stop the destruction, knows what is coming. Yet he must wait and allow it to happen, for
he has discovered that scattered throughout the Bible and other religious texts
are clues pointing to an incredible hidden truth – a secret of devastating
universal importance that reveals the astonishing future of man and the true nature
of God. It is far more than life and
death that hang in the balance. It is
the fulfillment of galactic destiny, humankind's final evolutionary step: the
birth of a New Age!
