These volumes will give you a deeper understanding of the underlying beliefs leading up to the Second Temple Period, created a new, more educated backdrop to the stories of the bible. They will revolutionize the way that you read and understand these ancient scriptures.

This book will virtually change the lives of those who yearn for greater truth and understanding! It will impel you the reader to reassess everything you thought you knew about the Bible, about the Dead Sea Scrolls and about the First Century religio-cultural world in which Jesus the Nazarene, John the Baptist and the other Essene-fostered messianic-inspired communities, that walked the same intimate paths and perused the same more and less revered religious texts; books that yet circulated in individual distinctive scrolls, in those pre-Bible-Canon last days of the Second Temple Period!

Volume 2 of The Wars of Light and Darkness delves into the massive literary black hole of the Hebrew Bible to reconstruct the censored Israelite Cosmology. This volume unearths the ancient cosmotheistic worldview, revealing that the Temple of Solomon was not merely a building but a cosmic portal designed as a precise facsimile of the heavens. By cross-referencing the Dead Sea Scrolls and forbidden sectarian literature, author Reuven Efraim Schmalz restores the lost Sacerdotal Mysteries, from the sacred Hagag circuit processions to the mystical communion between priests in their Robes of Light and the angelic hosts.

The narrative then shifts to the world-altering whirlwind of Alexander the Great and the rise of the Seleucid mortal god, Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This era of the Abomination of Desolation marks a genocidal onslaught against the ancient religion, giving birth to mass religious martyrdom and the historical prototype of the Antichrist. Amidst this betrayal and chaos, the volume explores the high-stakes mystery of the Copper Scroll, detailing a desperate effort by the last legitimate Zadokite High Priest, Onias III, to spirit away tons of sacred Temple treasure before the Anointed One was cut off.

Finally, the volume chronicles the explosive Maccabean Revolt, ignited by the Phinchasian Zeal of Mattathias and led by the military genius Judah The Hammer Maccabeus. Readers will experience the gritty reality of a wilderness guerrilla war that saw the Sons of Light face impossible odds with the aid of heavenly manifestations. From the heroic sacrifice of Eleazar to the rededication of the Temple and the birth of Hanukkah, Volume 2 provides a gripping account of a nation fighting to preserve the ancestral Covenant and the lineage of the Anointed Houses against the encroaching darkness.

This is Volume 2 of 7, Chapters 4-6 with an additional supplementary chapter of author's notes.

We are working diligently to prepare the remaining volumes for publication and plan to release one volume per month. This is a significant undertaking, and we truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we move forward. Thank you for your continued support.
