A Fearful Wonder: 6 BC
A new-born king born in obscurity in Bethlehem has escaped the clutches of a madman, only to be threatened by the true perpetuators of a diabolical scheme a millennium old in Nazareth. But a timely rescue by four legendary watchers seeking redemption ensures the survival of the one who has sworn to destroy their own people from the face of the earth. The young family flee along with their unlikely saviors far into Egypt near Naucratis, forty miles upriver from Alexandria on the western-most branch of the Nile.
Here, safe from the threat of a new king of Judea, Ben Jacob and Miriam raise a growing family along with Miriam’s twin sister Salome and her jovial husband Matai. The family soon receive a welcome visit from their friends from Swena, Degu, a merchant, and his wife Adey along with their eight-year-old, adventure-minded son Simon. When Ben Jacob learns of a massive alliance against Rome by a new ruler of the Sarmatian kingdom and a rumored invasion of Jerusalem he is anxious, but is assured by the eight-year-old Yahshua that he will soon be destroyed. The children live a care-free life unaware of their protector’s pasts, or their big brother’s and cousin’s plan to destroy the resurrected monster by the power of a weapon long considered lost.
