Opis

It is the first century before the start of the Common Era. Armies are on the march. Empires are falling and rising. The Age of the Angels has long passed into history and that of the prophets is now ending. A new era is beginning, that of the sword, to be forged through blood and steel. Watchers, fallen Angels exiled after the Great Flood, have returned to assist men in their conquest of the world through force and violence. There are small groups of Jewish mystics living in Palestine however, who await a messiah, the Mashiakh, who will save them and the world from this almost certain bad end. With the spiritual power of the sun weakening, the retreating good Angels anoint a young girl from Galilee with the task of making way for the Mashiakh with the help of the Jewish mystics. The Watchers and their human allies however, will stop at nothing to prevent his coming. Based on themes taken from the Books of Enoch and the writings of Jewish mystic communities inspired by them, the Mashiakh Trilogy chronicles the turbulent events that take place in Palestine in the century leading up to the Common Era and the spiritual ferment it creates. The Mashiakh Trilogy offers an alternate way of viewing this unique time and place in human history, versus the standard storyline. It weaves actual historical events into a web of spiritual fantasy to provide readers with a sense of the mysticism, until now mostly obscured, that played such an important role in shaping spiritual events that were to take place in Palestine at the start of the Common Era.
