    About this ebook

    The word of God created our universe and still maintains it through His powerful manifestation.

    Accordingly, the things in our world are real in themselves, they have substance, reason for being and reality only when they are related to our Creator.

    However, the materialist and atheistic world in which we are living adores and serves things by themselves, having created many idols through its greed and attachments to material possessions in this low three-dimensional realm.

    Many individuals, societies and even nations are running towards many clay idols, daydreaming, and living their lives on their own terms, leaving no energy and awareness at all for God and their spiritual lives. 

    Money, power, and sex are among the most powerful idols in our world. And every day that goes on we continue serving all these idols, and we certainly cannot serve them along with God.

    God's last words to this world were spoken by Jesus His divine son, and the arrogant and prideful will not escape punishment because those who are evil will be destroyed, and those loyal and faithful to Jesus who hope in the future with Our Father in heaven will be saved and inherit the promised land.
