The Assembly of Saints: A Narrative of the Father's Eternal Plan
The Assembly of Saints
A Narrative of the Father's Eternal Plan
Long before Bethlehem. Long before Calvary. Long before the empty tomb - there was already an Assembly.
In the shadowed rest of Sheol, the patriarchs and prophets of Israel - souls who had departed before the Redeemer ever came - have kept vigil for centuries, holding fast to a promise not yet fulfilled. Then, one by one, new arrivals reach them, and everything changes.
Zerah, a man of prayer caught up in the Spirit, is given one command: write what you see. He watches the Gospel unfold - carried not only to the living, but to those who had waited since before Christ came, and to every soul who would follow - until heaven falls silent for three days, and the gates of that ancient country break open forever.
But the Assembly does not close again. The Gospel once carried to those who had departed is now carried to the living - preached by apostles, sealed by martyrs, century after century - until the last name is written down for the marriage supper of the Lamb.
The Assembly of Saints: one story, the Gospel preached without ceasing from Eden until He comes again.
