In the eternal past, before the boundary of time was added to the dimensions of the universe, superior beings referred to as the Elohim Council administered the cosmos from the various planets scattered throughout the countless galaxies of the corporal universe. Shortly after the recreation of Earth, a war began between the Seed of woman and the seed of the Serpent. The novel allows you to step back into the folds of the ancient past and become a witness to the origins of the Nephilim and the resulting seed war. As the curtain is drawn, the past sheds light on the present and reveals the purpose and destiny of the Promise Seed. In the current day, the Gruen family and a reporter, Justin Freed, are set up as combatants of this war. They will answer the call to duty and prepare to fight battles that will right ancient wrongs and restore justice. This is a war of the supernatural and requires supernatural tactics to win each battle. As the war progresses, the reader soon discovers that battles are only won as the participants discover God-given keys to unlock the gates of Hades. More than a novel, The Seed War contains revelation of how this age-old war began and imparts insights to open the eyes of the reader to see the enemy for who he is. This novel will not only entertain, but also open ears to hear the battle cry of the righteous --- the cry for justice!

This work analyzes a subject of some controversy in light of sound hermeneutics and exegesis while building upon biblical truths that support this undertaking. This is not a simple academic exercise but rather instills in believers a sense of encouragement whereby we can arrive at biblical truths based on accurately handling the Word of God while taking a pastoral approach in applying these truths. The subject at hand is the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 and the book of Job, together with NT revelation that reveals who these "sons of God" are in both Testaments. Determining who these sons of God are in Genesis 6 and Job is more than simply winning an argument. It is at the crux of the spiritual war that began in the garden and continues today but can be misunderstood and therefore undermined by improper biblical approaches. This manuscript helps to set the stage for a proper redemptive historical look into the people of God and catapults the believer into a future hope that God promised to the patriarchs through a coming Messiah whose lineage in Luke 3:23 states, "Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph," and ends back in the garden in verse 38, "the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God." This is an instructive biblical account of the war that was precipitated between the two seeds that God set at odds with each other after Satan's temptation and Adam's rebellion. And as I move through the biblical particulars, the story finally ends as a "happily ever after" description of what God accomplishes through His victorious Son with His people ultimately ruling and reigning with Him on the new earth among the new heavens.

Sometimes, to move forward, we must look back. Gardening activity during American involvement in World War I (1917-1919) is vital to understanding current work in agriculture and food systems. The origins of the American Victory Gardens of World War II lie in the Liberty Garden program during World War I. This book examines the National War Garden Commission, the United States School Garden Army, and the Woman's Land Army (which some women used to press for suffrage). The urgency of wartime mobilization enabled proponents to promote food production as a vital national security issue. The connection between the nation's food readiness and national security resonated within the U.S., struggling to unite urban and rural interests, grappling with the challenges presented by millions of immigrants, and considering the country's global role. The same message--that food production is vital to national security--can resonate today. These World War I programs resulted in a national gardening ethos that transformed the American food system.

The serpent started this war between the seeds, which cost mankind eternal life, for we all are going to die. And from that time, all mankind, knowingly or unknowingly, are involved in this epic battle. The LORD God knew from the beginning that someday the serpent was going to beguile the woman into eating that fruit, of which she gave to her husband, just like the parents know that someday their little human will disobey them. Should we stop bringing more life on earth? The answer is no; we keep bringing more children to our lives, and we let them choose whether they want to obey us or not. There are those who choose to follow the serpent even though they know what the future has in store for them, but his deception is too strong to resist. There are those who make the choice to follow the LORD God, knowing the truth of what the future has in store for them, and they are waiting for that day to come. And many people have no idea whose side they are on, and they are just assuming and hoping for the better; whatever works for them is what they follow. This warfare is real, and people are losing, and many are winning, but only those who are winning have something to say, and they won't stop screaming to the world, "Save yourselves, don't fall into the deception of the serpent, for he is subtle in his ways." He has many people on his side, appearing to gain momentum and power and fame, and only he knows where he is heading to in the end, and he won't go down alone.

By the late 1810s, a global revolution in cotton had remade the U.S.-Mexico border, bringing wealth and waves of Americans to the Gulf Coast while also devastating the lives and villages of Mexicans in Texas. In response, Mexico threw open its northern territories to American farmers in hopes that cotton could bring prosperity to the region. Thousands of Anglo-Americans poured into Texas, but their insistence that slavery accompany them sparked pitched battles across Mexico. An extraordinary alliance of Anglos and Mexicans in Texas came together to defend slavery against abolitionists in the Mexican government, beginning a series of fights that culminated in the Texas Revolution. In the aftermath, Anglo-Americans rebuilt the Texas borderlands into the most unlikely creation: the first fully committed slaveholders' republic in North America. Seeds of Empire tells the remarkable story of how the cotton revolution of the early nineteenth century transformed northeastern Mexico into the western edge of the United States, and how the rise and spectacular collapse of the Republic of Texas as a nation built on cotton and slavery proved to be a blueprint for the Confederacy of the 1860s.
