This novel is a fictional adaptation inspired by an ancient prophecy…the narration is based on true events; however the claims and connections to scripture are completely imaginary.

Dedication …
To my Light, My son and the world as I wish to know it …
"Then God’s temple in heaven opened and in the temple could be seen the Ark of the Covenant. There were flashes of lightning and peals of thunder, an earthquake and a violent hailstorm. A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Because she was with child, she wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky: it was a huge dragon, flaming red, with seven heads and ten horns; on his heads were seven diadems. His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, ready to devour her child when it should be born. She gave birth to a son — a boy destined to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and to his throne. The woman herself fled into the desert, where a special place had been prepared for her by God; there she was taken care of for 1260 days."
The Book of Revelation (11:19 - 12:6)
Prelude
Ever since I have read the book of Revelations and the accuracy of the detailed prophecy of the woman clothed with the sun has been haunting me.
Everything around me started to decode into meaningful signs that made me believe more than ever that it is literally a prophecy that is not written in riddles as mostly believed but rather a true detailed account and description of end of time saviors and an end of an era of darkness which will begin by nothing than the book title a revelation or rather a series of revelations.
It all came together and the timing of days made a perfect sum to the time I spent in Eastern and Western deserts. The detailed description of my scream at birth and the suffering I have endured and the coming of my gorgeous man-child, a feature that has been associated with him since he was born and now as he evolved into Adonis a beautiful young man out of Greek Mythology.
To the sun that I thrive into and wear like clothes, to the attitude the warmth that I cherish and which characterizes my persona.
To the challenge that I have accepted to see beyond the hoax and beyond the false world that the empire of the dragon has created for over 400 years. As I discovered who I am and who my son is and as I realized the gravity of the task that is expected of me and the insanity of believing in that prophecy overlooking era’s of a carefully schemed heritage of hate and disregard for the holders of any text that differs.
Breaking from the one eyed, one track minded legions of conformers who accept and obey without the slightest doubt in falsehood. As I looked around me and saw nothing but utter loneliness and realized that I have called for this, I have asked for it and genuinely prayed to be part of something grave, something special that the Originator chooses for me.
I didn’t know back then it will mean that in ten years I will find myself in an un-coveted position, that it will be up to me to save some, to contribute to the revelations by guiding a world that shrunk into an iron rod that it will take just one to will it and to truly believe not in own’s ability as much as playing the part in faith it will lead to something far powerful.
My gift was in the shield that I have secured for myself against the scheme, my reason , the logic I have reconstructed for myself and has helped me advance in time for years to come, to foresee all that will happen and see it materialize before my eyes giving me confidence in my ability and judgment at a time loaded with insecurities and uncertainties. The prophecy foretold a coming of a woman clothed with the sun who suffers at child birth and mothers a man-child who will rule the world with an iron rod and they will both defy the devil to a pit of sulfur in an unseen battle in the heavens that will start from the day of labor till she is victorious and all is revealed… or at least this is my reading and understanding of how it should be.
Another false and evil scenario had to be created to counter destiny to prevent it from happening because for such a prophecy to be fulfilled the world as we know it with all its deceit should come to an end.
It must die for a new earth to be born for a true awakening that can only wipe away a prevalent world.
So the scheme was designed to make sure the woman never seizes to exist and if she does, she never seizes to think and for the child to never be born and if he does never to trust his mum, and for the world to dismantle and forget about the scripts and to live in fear of an eminent end one that should come with destruction rather than rebirth.
The schemers knew the world is theirs until an Anomaly occurs, until someone goes against the norm; the carefully designed reality that will hold everyone in place.
They had eternity on their side, mankind at the palm of their hands and the plan set, but the signs in the skies kept haunting them. The timely meteor crossing brightens their skies and threatens the dark on the date of his birth it shines so bright defying all.
The shield they have demolished reweaves itself and a state of bewilderment shook them to the core knowing a chosen one is reborn despite the careful measures and the incepted convictions that there will be no other but the last ones.
All gone in vain for the signs have appeared in the skies and the woman survived a bloody childbirth and the son of man was born.
