Life for Lewisa DeBlake was good. She embraced the wonderful love of God and her family, which she immensely adored. Therefore, she purposefully placed God into her daily life by way of spending time singing praise and worship songs to Him, listening to His Word, and teaching her children about Him too. So, imagine the traumatizing horror she felt after God showed her in a dream her husband was leaving her. Many dreams and prophetic words followed leading Lewisa towards the plan God had for her life, but that revelation came at a high price. It caused Yury, the love of her life, to scorn her and become an emotional recluse. Simultaneously, the weight of the situation drove him into a life of lies, women, and secrets.

In order to survive, Lewisa suppressed her emotions of confusion, fear, heartache, and rejection, as she groped around in the dark in unfamiliar territory. However, a change is coming.

KING DAVID lived three thousand years ago, the most illustrious King of Israel, who provided ascendancy to the nation. A downward trajectory then occurred until 1948. In modern times Israel has vanquished all her enemies and reclaimed part of her homeland. Great resilience in the survival of Israel can be credited to being chosen by God for a purpose: "e;In thy Seed shall all Nations of the Earth be blessed."e; Israel is a Royal Priesthood and Holy Nation. This task has been mightily accomplished to almost its completion, and has provided the vanguard in the progress of humanity. Israel produced the Bible, the Old and New Testaments, a book I label as inspired but not inerrant. It is inspired to solve the problem of good and evil on the planet by the Judaism of Moses and David -- Messianic Redemption. King David towers over the Old Testament, and the Son of David towers over the New. Despite the loss of Temple Judaism in 70 AD, Redemptive Judeo-Christianity will triumph.
