What you are about to read will take the form of a story, but what is revealed in the story is real.

WHERE DO WE begin? he asked.

How about at the beginning, she replied, with the seal. You come into possession of a small clay seal with ancient inscriptions. You have no idea what it all means. You begin searching. In the midst of your search, you come across a mysterious man. You dont know his name or where he comes from. You dont know how he knows things he shouldnt or couldnt have known. You speak of him as the prophet.

He tells you the meaning of the seal. And so the mystery begins. How am I doing so far, Nouriel?

Perfectly. I dont think you have any need of me.

He gives you a second seal in exchange for the first. You have to try to unlock its meaning until you see him again. Your encounters with the prophet happen by what appears to be coincidence or some supernatural agency. But one way or another, hes always there at the exact time and place. And in each encounter the full significance of the seal is revealed. Each seal leads to another revelation, another puzzle piece in a still larger mystery. All together there are nine seals, nine mysteries, and nine revelations.

Keep going, he said.

The mystery centers on nine harbingers, nine warnings of coming judgment, calamity, and destruction, the signs that appeared in the last days of ancient Israel. But the mind-blowing thing is that those same nine harbingers have now reappeared in modern times... on American soil, some in New York City, some in Washington, DC, some involving objects, events, utterances, even American leaders, and with eerie precision and without anyone orchestrating them. And as in ancient times, they give warning... now to America.

She paused for a few moments, waiting to see if he would interject. But he was silent, so she continued.

At the end of all the encounters, mysteries, and revelations, the prophet reveals that you were born for a purpose now to be fulfilled. He charges you to spread the word, to reveal the mystery, to sound the alarm.

The call of the watchman, he replied.

And thats where it left off, what you told me that night.

Yes.

And you did what the prophet charged you to do. You spread the word of it. You committed the revelation to writing... in the form of a narrative.

The narrative was your idea, Ana... to change the names and details of what happened until it became a story through which the mystery would be revealed and the warning delivered.

And you had never written a book before.

No. I had no idea how to do it. But it was as if the book wrote itself. The words just flowed onto the pages.

Most books never get published, but yours did. I never heard how it all happened.

The week I finished the manuscript, I was scheduled to fly out to Dallas. The flight had a layover in Charlotte, North Carolina. While waiting for the connecting flight, I closed my eyes, bowed my head, and prayed for God to intervene, to send the message to the world.

And what happened?

I opened my eyes. There was a man sitting to my left. He wasnt there when I closed my eyes. He turned to me and said, So whats the good word?

A bit mystical for an opening line.

A bit mystical of an encounter, he replied.

So what did you talk about?

It was small talk... at first. But then his tone changed. He stared intently into my eyes and spoke with a sense of intense urgency. Nouriel, he said, God has given you a message... and a book. Its from Him.

And Hell send it forth to the nation and to the world. And your life will be changed. And youll be known.

It sounds like your encounter with the prophet, she said. Its what you wrote about in the book, at the beginning of the story. Youre sitting down in a public place with a man sitting to your left. He turns to you and starts a conversation. Then he speaks to you prophetically. And it leads you to bringing a prophetic word to the nation.

Yes, except this happened after the book was written.

And he couldnt have known?

No, said Nouriel. No one could have known. No one had read it yet.

So who was he?

A man of God, a believer, who just happened to have been scheduled to be on the same flight and who just happened to sit down next to me the moment I prayed that prayer.

But how could he have known what he knew? she asked.

How could the prophet have known what he knew?

Did he ever tell you why he gave you that word?

He told me that when he sat down next to me, the Lord told him to give me a message. He was reluctant but finally spoke.

And what happened next?

Not long after that encounter, I received a communication from the president of a publishing house. He told me that the man at the airport had shared with him of the encounter and of the book I had just written. He had no idea what it was about, but he was interested.
