Inhaltsangabe

The world is in crises. Humankind has fallen far from God's Word. Right is wrong, A man can be a woman. Lies are truth. Truth is racist and ridiculed. Science is the new religion. The earth, God's creation, is to be worshipped. God, who created the earth, is to be scorned.

What if, during this chaotic time, there was a calling? What if the 144,000, the twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, were called to proclaim Christ as the savior of humankind? Who would they be? How would they react? Would anyone listen to them? What forces would work against them?

This is a work of fiction that explores these questions. The most important question is: are you one who has been called?

It was over five thousand years ago that the stars and the planets aligned in such a way that God knew would cause a traumatic upheaval to the earth. He warned Noah, the only righteous soul on earth at that time, to be prepared. The same alignment of the stars and planets is about to happen again. God breathed the stars and planets, the entire universe, into life. He knew that another great upheaval was coming.

Five thousand years ago, before the great flood, the earth was as God created it. It was Pangea, a single continent surrounded by the seas. The great upheaval and ensuing flood caused the massive migration of the continents creating the world as we know it today. In the great flood, the earth was utterly destroyed and reborn. Virtually all ancient societies recognize this event.

Now, this alignment of the stars and the planets is about to happen again. It will happen just as God knew it would. He wishes that His people, the people that He created in His own image, would return to Him, be His true children. But His children are fallen, sinful. He gave them the freedom of choice. But once they bit from the tree of knowledge, they became sinful.

Over two thousand years ago, He came to earth himself, in His trilogy, as His son, to become the final sacrifice for the sins of man. Yet man has continually turned away from Him. They profess to love Him, yet they kill His children in the womb. They profess to know Him, but covet power and wealth. Their quest for knowledge has increased to a point where they desire that their science will prove that He does not even exist.
Now, the planets and the stars will align once again. As foretold in the scriptures, the earth will be remade once again. God promised it would not be by flood. But a cleansing must occur before His triumphant return.

Five thousand years ago, only Noah was told of the oncoming wrath. This time, 144,000 are told, and they are to proclaim His forgiveness to all mankind. How many of those who are called will listen to God? Will anyone listen to them?
