Ophan, Revelations: Book 5

The year is 2010 and it has been fifteen years since Nicholas and Angela came close to losing their lives and their sanity confronting the darkness of the omniverse in God's name. Even with so much intervening time, their lives have not returned to anything resembling "normal" and they are beginning to wonder if they ever will. Right after the spiritual hurricane that blasted them apart subsided, they were hoping and praying for their own version of happily ever after, but much to their chagrin, happily ever after never came, but still they wait for it patiently. Many things have changed in their day-to-day lives, but not necessarily for the better. They are still in the process of either replacing or ignoring the loss of what they were instructed to leave behind them in the past, which would include personal possessions, once-close friends, and once-affectionate family relationships. The tale of action, romance, and drama has been completed, and it will take a good long time for Lucifer and his minions to rebuild all that was destroyed in his gambit with the Light, but not all of the things that Angela and Nicholas have learned in their long and hazardous journey have yet been shared. It is in this book that some major puzzle pieces are finally set in place, completing the portrait of God, Jesus, Sophia and their spiritual mysteries to a degree of clarity that has never been seen before. Nicholas completes his mission and records what he has been sent to share with the world at large about The Infancy Gospel of Thomas and the real secrets of The Book of Revelation, but how many will choose to accept God's gift?
