END OF AGE - Possible Press Release
The following is a first draft press release. We are still waiting for the ForeWord Clarion Review.
New novel considers life after Armageddon
Author Ervin Sims presents a view of the future from an eschatological perspective in End of the Age
BELMONT, N.C. (MMD Newswire) June 14, 2010 -- End of the Age: The Ascendant by Ervin Sims explores what it might be like to live in the time of peace and plenty that takes place after the Battle of Armageddon.
In End of the Age, it is the year 953YOL, which is the 10th century of an era that rose out of the destruction surrounding Armageddon, and Paul Watanabe has just turned 21. Almost a thousand years before, the world was almost destroyed by war and natural disasters until Lord Emmanuel, King of the World, came from space claiming to be God and accompanied by immortal followers who said that they had lived on Earth before. People were free as long as they submitted to the rule of the king. There was only one religion and one ruler.
Having now graduated from high school and completed his universal service requirement, Paul is ready to ascend from minor status to the status of full citizen of the empire. From this time on, Lord Emmanuel's government will hold him fully responsible for his behavior and decisions. He must follow the laws as very few people oppose the king. After all, the planet and mankind had recovered, and people everywhere prosper leading followers to believe that their empire must be paradise.
With a keen interest in eschatology, or a branch of theology focused on the final events of mankind or the world, Sims speculates on the millennial reign of Christ as prophesized in the Bible. "Many today think of Armageddon as a metaphor for the end of the world and time. However, dispensationalists state that Armageddon is the end of one age of human history and the start of a new age," says Sims. "Huxley wrote Brave New World and Orwell wrote 1984. In a similar manner, I am looking at the future from a dispensationalist [a study of periods in history in which God relates to human beings in different ways under different Biblical covenants] Christian perspective, and I see this future as one that is prosperous."
Professor and lecturer Dr. Daniel Goldberg states, "End of the Age by Dr. Ervin Sims has the great potential to incite and excite anyone thinking and reading about great future events depicted in Biblical prophecy. Biblical prophecy is presented in a fresh, new and dramatic way for both young and old."
ForeWord Clarion Reviews declares, "His religious beliefs and knowledge of theology and science fiction add to the delectable ambiguity that exudes from the novel... this underlined motif is the fuel that powers the novel and causes readers to question their own beliefs... the story is also contagious in its excitement for history, philosophy, and theology that mesh together with Sims' storytelling ability to create true art."
End of the Age: The Ascendant is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
