The Adversary is Alive and Well
Many people want to believe in God and heaven but have a difficult time believing there is a devil and a hell. My series of four books, The Adversary Chronicles, deals with this topic. It takes several Bible stories and gives the reader a glimpse behind the curtain, so to speak. The biblical stories are told from the perspective of the archangel Mikael. We often read Bible stories like they are just that: stories. We often don’t really see the spiritual side and spiritual significance of what occurred behind the scenes of these biblical stories. My desire was to take the reader behind the scenes and let them see through spiritual eyes. The goal is to give the reader a new and renewed perspective of biblical stories they may have heard many times, but likely not in this way.
The first book of the series, whose title, Rebellion in the Stones of Fire, is a reference to Ezekiel 28:14: “you who walked among the fiery stones.” It covers Lucifer’s rebellion, God’s creation of Adam and Eve, as well as the time of Noah with the Nephilim and the Flood from the archangel Mikael’s point of view. These are stories most Christians have heard, but likely not in the way the book presents them. I think this novel will help people have a new and unique perspective of the God we serve.
The second book of this series, The Holy Grail of Babylon, is presented in a very unique way. While it is based upon the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, it is presented in the backdrop of a very science fiction storyline. I think many will be surprised by the story presented. The storyline is definitely fiction but fits into the story of Nimrod (which some have identified as Gilgamesh) and what his plan was for humanity as he was under the direction of the Adversary, Satan.
The next book, The Defining Curse, tells of the curse the prophet Jeremiah declared on the Judean king Jehoiachin and what that meant for the prophecy of the coming Jewish Messiah. It presents a scenario of what the prophet Daniel likely did not only for Jehoiachin and his family as well as for the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel’s proposed actions also explain many parts of the Christmas story regarding the Magi and who they were and why they traveled to Bethlehem. This story has a tremendous spiritual significance to it.
The fourth book, The Luciferian Plague, is not necessarily a biblical story as it is about modern times, but the spiritual aspect of the story is still there and ties it to the other biblically based stories. We are up against spiritual forces today just as much as people were in biblical times. This story helps to emphasize the scripture Ephesian 6:12 which states we do not struggle against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. Yet, it is presented in a redeeming way.
All of these stories were written to help readers have a better appreciation and understanding of God and his love for them. I trust these stories will accomplish this for you.
