In 953YOL Paul Watanabe turned 21. After graduating from High School and completing his Universal Service requirement he was ready to attain the status of full citizen of the Empire. Paul ascended from minor status and gained the rights and responsibilities of a citizen. From this time on Lord Emmanuel's Government would hold him fully responsible for his behavior and decisions. Almost a thousand years before the world was almost destroyed by war and natural disasters. Then someone came from space claiming to be God, accompanied by immortal followers who said that they had lived on Earth before. The planet and mankind recovered, and people everywhere prospered. Even the poorest lived in plenty. Now Paul was becoming a citizen, thus is set the stage for this new novel. This is the first in a series of three novels exploring what it would be like to live in the time of peace and plenty that takes place after the Battle of Armageddon. Many today think of Armageddon as a metaphor for the end of the world and time. A closer reading of Bible prophecy does not show that. Armageddon is the end of one age of human history and the start of a new age. The story of Paul Watanabe is set during the tenth century of an era that rose out of a time of social and natural disasters. The King of the World, Lord Emmanuel, says He is the Creator God. There is only one religion and one ruler. The King proclaims Himself to be God and He has a race of immortal beings to back Him up. People were free as long as they submitted to the rule of the King. Those who opposed the King are dealt with in rapid order. Very few people opposed Him; after all, everyone had work and a place to live. No one went hungry. Surely this is paradise. Isn't it?

Ervin Sims is a native of the Carolina piedmont and lives in Belmont North Carolina. While serving in the US Army he met his bride of forty years in Germany. They have one daughter, Christina. He has a Masters Degree from the University of North Carolina Charlotte and currently teaches history at Gaston College and Lee University. Ervin is an active member of the North Belmont Church of God. He enjoys reading books on history, science fiction, and theology. Ervin has a particular fascination with eschatology or Bible prophecy, and sees a similarity with science fiction in as much as both seek visions of the future. He found C. S. Lewis' Narnia and Space Trilogy books particularly interesting in this fashion. Equally interesting were the creation stories that J. R. R. Tolkien presented in his book "The Simirillian". In his books Ervin is attempting to provide a look into the world as it may exist during the millennial reign of Christ. In this world humans are just as flawed as they are in our age. The leadership may be 'perfect', but that is not true of those being lead. Death though delayed is still present, and the wants and needs of everyday people still persist. What would a world like this look like?
