Parallel Time & Place

A Parallel Time & Place is a book of Fantasy written for a present-day generation living in troubled times, when millions are searching for truth and answers. A man named King Josiah also lived in a distressing era in the ancient time and place of biblical Judah. The king is an historical figure and his acts of reform are recorded in the biblical account. Likewise, prophets who foretold the future, such as Isaiah, Zephaniah, Huldah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, plus others, lived in ancient Judah at that time and their prophecies are also recorded in the scriptural record. These were all ancient people who truly lived and their stories are based on accounts from the bible. So, in one sense this book is historical fiction with the story provided by the biblical facts. But these characters point the way for understanding truth in all times and places, because the lessons to be learned from them are as applicable to people in the modern world as they were to those who lived all those long centuries ago. Thus, the outline of this book is provided by facts from scripture occurring in a particular era, but it builds upon that biblical foundation by adding characters to aid in the story telling. Hence, a work of fantasy is created with the addition of the fictional character, Saphah, from modern America, who travels back in time to the ancient city of Jerusalem in the land of Judah during the time of the reforming King Josiah. So how does all of this happen? An angel named Malak is sent by God to transport Saphah to a cave where she processes through a machine that transitions her from a regular human into a person endowed by God with super human abilities for her survival in that place. But Saphah wonders why she is traveling to Judah. Malak explains to the woman that she is visiting the past to learn firsthand that the immorality present in that time and place foreshadows the wickedness present in her current world. Saphah soon discovers that events in those ancient times are eerily like current happenings in her modern nation and that Judah is a parallel time and place to America. Then she's informed that God has appointed her as a spiritual watchwoman for America, and she can learn spiritual lessons for her present world through a journey into that alternate reality.
