Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Jubilean mysteries are a mystery of mysteries. They were birthed in a desert not unlike this one and on a mountaintop not unlike the one on which we sit. They have determined the course of empires and superpowers, kings and presidents. #2 I was a skeptic. I didn't believe in any purpose or significance in life. I saw everything as a series of random events and accidents. I was the last person to be telling you about the fingerprints of God. #3 The Oracle was a person who spoke divine revelation or counsel or prophecy. The ancient world was filled with oracles, and as long as people seek revelation, there will always be oracles of one kind or another. #4 The oracles were a part of pagan religion. The Bible speaks of the pagan soothsayers and warns against their practices, the channeling of spirits, the practicing of divination, and the worship of pagan gods. But the Bible is also filled with those called and appointed to bring forth divine messages and revelations, to share divine counsel, and to discern and interpret the signs of the times.
