What if it were possible to visit an ancient Biblical land and to experience what life was like? In A Parallel Time & Place: A Story of a Modern Nation Running in Sync with a Biblical Land in an Alternate Reality, an American lady, Saphah, travels back in time to Judah during the reign of reforming King Josiah. There she discovers that spiritual events in that ancient time and place are eerily similar to current happenings in her own modern land. In fact, the moral descent of Judah runs in sync with the moral deterioration of the United States, and the corruption of Judah's capitol, Jerusalem, runs parallel with that of the US capitol.
Although Judah is under pending judgment from God, King Josiah has arrived to bring temporary reform and reprieve to his nation as foretold in scripture. But then, the Lord reveals to Saphah that the United States likewise faces upcoming judgment and discipline, unless reform and reprieve occur in America too.
Can Saphah warn her people of coming danger before it's too late? Will they listen and heed the spiritual lessons she learned during her journey into that alternate reality? Will they prepare themselves, both personally and collectively, to deal with what God has in store for them? And will they listen to God's message for Judah and America, as Prophet Zephaniah proclaimed:
“Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land. . . .Seek righteousness, seek humility: perhaps you will be sheltered
on the day of the Lord's anger.”
—Zephaniah 2:3.
