Publisher's Synopsis
Only God knows. We may ponder and choose our own path to receiving His Word, but we must realize ours is a human path. We cannot let blind faith, tradition, and ritual cloud our judgment and determine our perception of the world. The potent mix of fanaticism (whether tied to a nation or a religion), ignorance, and emotion has driven wedges among the peoples of the earthwedges that need not exist at all. In Search of God: God, Religious Scriptures, and Proof of Divine Revelation presents the result of the author's thirty-year study of Christian, Islamic, and Judaic scripture, revealing the unifying truths of divinity, belief, and faith. The Scepter shall not depart from Juda until Shiloh comes (Genesis 49:10) suggests that the prophet coming after Jesus is not from the lineage of Juda. Jesus is the last prophet from the lineage of Juda (Matthew 1:3 and Luke 3: 33). Is the Scepter departing from Juda a fulfillment of a prophecy that Ishmael is promised a great nation (Genesis 17:20). Interestingly, Ishmael means God hears. Is Ishmaels descendant, the prophet Muhammad the same person as Shiloh? Could the coming of prophet Muhammad be tied in to the burden upon Arabia (Isaiah 21:13). This book explores these ideas and much more. In Search of God challenges readers of all faiths and backgrounds as it examines proof for the existence of God, creation and evolution, prophecy, the identity of Jesus, the concept of the Holy Trinity, and the commonalities and spirit of revelation of the worlds three major religions. The author's personal journey and critical, spiritual investigation personify the human desire to understand Gods intention for us. Yes, only God knows, but armed with truth and tolerance we now have a chance to create a brighter future for our children and ourselves, a future in which we seek God, trust in Him, and are at peace. The author has spent over thirty years investigating religious scriptures for irrefutable evidence in support of Divine Revelation.
