2000 BC. There is no truth in Babylon. Many centuries after God sent a Flood upon a blasphemous world, the descendants of Noah worship idols of timber and stone. Priests tell fables of strange, exotic gods, and mighty King Nimrod proclaims himself divine.

​

But the truth of religion is not wholly lost to the world. The Creation, the Garden of Eden, and the Flood itself are faithfully recalled in memories here and there. And the one true God who commanded Noah will reveal His power again, this time never to be forgotten…

​

Abraham is a bright-eyed lad of sixteen who lives on the fringes of Nimrod’s empire. He and his father Terah make idols for their bread. Business is good, but Abraham is troubled. Blessed with great imagination, and a hint of magical power, he questions the priestly narratives. And there are parts of his own story – concerning his birth in Babylon – which he longs to know in full.

​

Still, Abraham seems set for a normal provincial life. But when his best friend is taken from him, by political forces beyond his control, his reaction stuns his home-town community of Ur Kasdim. What follows is more upsetting still, as God Himself intervenes from the heavens. By divine command, young Abraham must become a man of destiny...

 

And so he departs his boyhood home, led by an other-worldly teacher in rainbow garb. Led, but not driven. Jaoel makes this clear. Indeed, he makes clear a great many things en route to a distant mountain - and beyond - where God will reveal to Abraham the truths of the past - and the present - and his own historic future in a new and promised land.

 

This is the revelation of Abraham. And this is not all he will see...

​

But first he must go to Babylon. Seat of the god-king Nimrod and his serpentine vizier Dadanum - another unearthly figure with dark and cosmic powers. 

​

In the great imperial city, on the banks of the mighty Euphrates, Abraham discovers the terrible truth about his past.  He encounters the bright and beautiful princess Sarah - another young truth-seeker with a great role to fulfil. And he climbs the Tower of Babel. Nimrod’s ultimate folly. A billion bricks of blasphemy.  A mile-high monument to ungodly, satanic power... 

​

Here, beyond Babylon, the divine pretensions of an ancient king will meet their final, shattering end.  

​

This is the revelation of God which concludes an epic tale.

​

And so begins another....
