Steve Cardigan, lieutenant, and his buddy Reggie Grimes mop up in the wake of the Desert Storm destruction in Baghdad inside a magnificent palace. They suddenly crash through the floor and plunge forty feet into total darkness. Steve leans Reggie against his backpack and nurses his sprain ankle. He carelessly spills water from his canteen that splatters on the dusty earth, and soaks around a metallic object. His fingers dig the perimeter of a star-shaped object incrusted with diamonds and rubies-a gold medallion! Captain Dawson informs Steve that his mother is dead and his father is in jail; a transport awaits his immediate departure. He lands stateside and approaches the hospital in his hometown. The nurse behind the counter is his former high-school girlfriend, Gracie. She describes how his mother was treated with a new drug, and several other patients are sick. They agree to enter the administration office late that afternoon. Steve prints out a file on a drug, Zelprox. They sneak from the office, and motor to Gracie's apartment. He shows her the gold medallion, and she discovers an inscription on the obverse side.The next morning Gracie takes Steve to the local University to see Dr. Henry Harrington, her former professor in anthropology. Harrington deciphers the inscription: Given to Daniel by the royal house of Nebuchadnezzar in honor of his great God. When they exit the office, Harrington dials a code on his cell phone and says, "Yes, he still has it, and its priceless."

Arabella sits on a bench, her head propped on bended knee, wistfully watching the colors of fall drifting by her bedroom window. Oh, if only the man of her dreams would come before winter, she muses. The lava-red leaves remind her of colder days when she would be alone. The nights are noticeable cooler, the temperature inconveniently chilly. The falling leaves outside her window blankets the lawn in a carpet of red and gold, following a warmer than usual summer. Autumn is the languid season in the South. Oh, how she misses the spring, the buds of yellow jonquils peeping out of the moist earth. She grips both chains of the swing, and hauls her maturing body in a swinging loop of exhilarating excitement. She feels that she can fly! The world awaits Arabella. She is ready-is the world? But unknown to Arabella, her world is destined for change, and those who will not adapt are trapped in the jaws of secession. The very next morning Arabella drives her carriage into Charleston to get some supplies. She sees a man get off the train from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Immediately the image of this man is indelible in her mind. The next morning she rises early and rouses Hattie, the daughter of her mother's maid, to assist her in squeezing into that corset. She had to look her best. Finally she is dressed in a hoop dress, and rushes off to find that handsome man. As she drives into Charlotte she sees him walk into Perkin's Tavern near the Charleston Harbor. She parks her carriage, hops up on the boardwalk and peeps through the window. She can't go inside but she plans to bump into him when he exits. She waits her turn, bumps into him and is knocked off the walk into a mud puddle. The man is appallingly embarrassed, and take's her hand. He slips, and falls in atop Arabella. She has one more chance. Arabella is the only girl in Charleston who can cry real tears. Tears cascade down her muddy checks, and the man adamantly insists that he take her home. Hattie cooks a southern dinner and they sit on the back porch drinking ice tea. He is not talkative, but Arabella discovers his name, Robert Bruce Taylor, intelligence officer for Robert E. Lee. More damning than his name, he has a wife and child. The next morning Arabella gets on the train to Washington City capital to see her uncle about the plantation. The housekeepers of the house inform Arabella that her uncle has been arrested by Union soldiers. There is a man in the parlor that comes twice a year; her uncle is his lawyer. Arabella walks into the parlor and faces Nathan Bedford Forrest. He offers to take her home, and during the trip persuades Arabella to become a spy for his cavalry. Arabella is upstairs in her room preparing to meet Nathan Forrest, when Bruce's wife storms up the steps. Her tall frame stands in the door, a voodoo woman who has beguiled Bruce into marriage. She charges toward Arabella, and brutally claps her, accusing her of having an affair with her husband. On the second swing, Arabella takes her down by the hair of her head. She stands on rubbery legs vowing to haunt her from the grave. When Charleston is bombed, the wife is killed. Arabella is caught in the tempest of Secession and meets Bruce on the battlefield. Arabella is daily tormented by the ghost of Bruce's deceased wife. At the end of the war, Bruce and Arabella are eating inside a pub. The ghost appears audibly a finally time, telling Bruce their young son needs a mother.

Dr. Randall Jenkins, astronomer at Stanford, discovers that NASA has concealed pictures of a rogue planet taken in 1983, kept from the public by reason of plausible deniability. Since he has worked on projects with President Winston Darcy, he tells him about the pictures. He is immediately dispatched to the New Zealand where a NASA astronomer had plotted the orbit of the planet, took pictures through a camera set up on New Zealand, gave the package to NASA. The package disappeared, and the astronomer died of cancer. A young astronomer living on the island tells Jenkins he has a copy of the package. When Jenkins asks for possession of the file, he warns him that he himself was shot without disclosing his possession of the file. After receiving the file Randall is accosted by a man who reluctantly gives him the name of the inside man in NASA. When the President Darcy sees the pictures, he immediately calls for the appearance of the NASA Administrator. When he fails to appear, he removes him from office and appoints the assistant administrator, Dr. Greenbrier as leader of NASA. Greenbrier finds the original copy and presents it to the President. Greenbrier explains that the planet is in the solar system and its gravitational force is already causing hurricanes and floods, including tsunamis. When Greenbrier is found floating in the Yukon River, the President calls on Dr. Jenkins to join a team to uncover the truth. Immediate reports claim that the Yellowstone caldaria is threatening to erupt, already the Rim of Fire is activated and dormant as well as new volcanoes are erupting. Jenkins explains that an eruption of the Yellowstone caldaria would spew ash and pumice, covering the sun and place the U.S. in total darkness. Crops would fail, people would starve. The UN is helpless. Fortunately the planet finally moves out of the solar system as the earth struggles to survive. Dr. Jenkins reports that the earth's poles have reversed, and seasons are changed. Darcy has studies that the planet will survive, but is stunned by Jenkins report that Planet Nibiru has a period of 3,600 years and will return.

This is the story of a special frog who lives in the Amazon rainforest. All of his friends are disappearing, and he wants to look for them. The head bullfrog refuses to allow him to leave the pond because there was an explorer taking tadpoles and water samples. Though the explorer had not been back in two years, the bullfrog had set rigid rules that no frog was to leave the pond. But this frog was going to look for his friends no matter what the punishment might be. He waits for a rainstorm to hide him and goes out into the dark forest anyway. He slips in the mud, and crashes through a thatched hut where a wizard is having a magic dance, and Poof: he's a little boy! He races away not knowing who he is or what has happened. His friend, Snezzy, a pterodactyl no longer recognizes his smell, but the lad finally convinces him to transport him to an island composed of lava. He finds a huge cave where a ship is anchored. After boarding the ship, it seems to be vacant, but suddenly the engines start and it motors out into the open ocean. Suddenly a sailor appears leaning on the rail, smoking a pipe. The sailor informs the lad he is sailing for Amphibia Island. The sailor is impressed with the intelligent questions the lad asks, and tells him the wizard used a magic potion. The sailor has been hired by an explorer, who has engaged the wizard to transform the frogs into girls and boys. The sailor takes these frog-people to all parts of the world. The explorer anticipates that the wizard can concoct a potion to transform the people back to frogs, while he discovers why the frogs are disappearing all over the world. The ship finally arrives at Amphibia Island, where this little frog-lad is to live. He gives him a map and the lad follows a red brick road to Lily Pad Junction, population 800. He lives at Pond Water Park because he likes to be around water. A soccer ball bounces into the pond and a little girl jumps in to get it, suddenly realizing she cannot swim. The lad dives into the pond and rescues the girl. Judy Croaker is grateful and the lad offers to walk her home. Her father is the principal of the school, Chris Croaker. When he realizes the boy has no name, and he has no son, he gives him the name Eddie Croaker, and a bed in the basement. In the living room over the fireplace hangs a picture of a ship; the same ship that brought Eddie to Amphibia Island. Eddie's new brain begins to ask questions. Mr. Croaker tells Eddie that he came to this island on that ship. His father was an explorer who gave this island its name, and was studying how to save the frogs, which were somehow missing around the world; he is buried in the graveyard behind the church. Eddie is blown away.

During the match, Eddie leaps into the air and grabs the soccer ball, steps to the sideline and kicks the ball toward the Viper's net. It sails the entire length of the field and enters the net just as the buzzer ends the match.

In this narrative we lay out the groundwork for a detailed study of the sum of all ages in four sections: Eternity Past, Ages Past, Present Age, and Eternity Future. We shall start at the beginning-before time as we know it to set the stage of God's creation of this planet, which we call Earth. Our theme is prophecy! Prophecy is history written in advance. Prophecy's accuracy hinges upon the dependency of the One who is history-that person is Jesus Christ. Bible prophecy is God's description of future events (Acts 15:18). God's Word contains 10,385 predictions. Each one has been or will be fulfilled in the minutest of detail. God's Word has proven itself by not failing even in one small point concerning Christ's First Advent. Prophecy concerning the Second Coming is also being fulfilled leading up to the end of this age, and skeptics must forever admit they failed to believe the Son of the Living God (Rom. 3:4). He will come again (Acts 1:11). Must one reject Christ's salvation and forever exist in the torture of the eternal judgment? No other religion but Christianity has written prophecies that have been fulfilled during our lifetime. There is only one prophecy remaining on the timeline of the ages before the Son of God-Jesus Christ returns to this earth as he prophesied; the rapture of the Church, which signals Seven-year tribulation and the race to judgment of the world. Prophecy is the theme of the Old Testament, and the key to all the promises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Prophecy has been neglected by many preaching pastors, and the congregations are milk-fed and immature in the Word of God. God is the author of prophecy. He is the creator of all things past, present, and future, the first and the last, and there is no other God in the universe, because He created everything. He holds the world in his hands and controls our next breath. Regarding the Christian dead, the Bible teaches that the body is asleep in one place (the grave) whereas the soul is alive in another place (heaven). To be "absent from the body" is to be present with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8). When Christ returns at the Rapture, he brings those that sleep (are dead) with Him (1 Thess. 4:14). You ask, How can He bring the dead with Him and still come for the dead (cf. 1 Thess. 4:16)? The souls and spirits are with the Lord, but the bodies are in the grave of the earth. That's why Christ brings the "dead" (souls and spirits) with Him so they may be reunited with their bodies. That is why the dead in Christ rise first. With all the information that now hides in the shadows of our minds revealing why and how the Lord will return for the Church, His Appearing is still clueless for most Christians. Even the New Testament writers expected the Lord's return at any moment (Phil. 3:20). All signs of the Lord's return have to do with the coming of Christ to set up his Kingdom on Earth (The Millennium). The end-time signs are only indicators of the approaching Rapture, because this event precedes the establishment of the Kingdom by seven years: the Tribulation, Daniel's 70th week of years. What relationship exists between the Rapture and prophetic signs? None! The Rapture is a "blinking of the eye" and the Church is evacuated before the great judgment of the Tribulation hour, which is all about Israel! There are two "appearing" of Christ at the Second Coming. Christ "snatches" (rapture) out the Church before the Tribulation (His Appearing) and meets His Bride (Church) in the heavens. Christ returns as the roaring Lion of Judah (His Revelation) at the time of Armageddon (His Revelation). Of course, there are many views about tribulation, the millennium, rapture and the Second Coming. We shall deal with all these questions here in this narrative.

The parallels existing between the ancient fall of the Roman Empire and America of the 21st Century are astounding. History is warning America that she cannot sustain this unlimited spending. The people have lost control of their representatives, but their constituents vote for them again because of government hand outs. Higher taxes keep rising with a phenomenal debt of 17 trillion dollars. Our society is plagued with immorality and disregard for the sanctity of life. The average family has to work 4 to 5 months just pay its taxes. No longer is the military the biggest spender in Washington; it's the growing cancer called entitlements. The best generation of recent years fought for our freedom against Nazi takeover of Europe and England. These baby boomers expect to receive payment for a lifetime payment into a system that is broke; there is no Trust Fund. The buck has to stop somewhere and it lies on the doorstep of the American taxpayer; Excuse me: isn't that you?
