IS IT POSSIBLE that behind what is happening to America and the world lies a mystery hidden in the ancient inscriptions of the Middle East?

Is it possible that the ancient entities known as the gods are more than fiction and possess an independent reality?

Is it possible that they have returned to our world?

Could these entities lie behind what we see on our television screens and computer monitors, what we find in our shopping centers, what our children are being taught in their classrooms, what our leaders announce and implement? Could they lie behind the current events, news, and movements of our times, and behind what is even now influencing our lives without our realizing it?

Is it possible that one of these ancient entities once paid a visit to New York City and started a cultural revolution that is still transforming our world?

Who are the Possessor, the Enchantress, the Destroyer, and the Transformer? And what do they have to do with what is now taking place in our culture?

Could there be a mystery that lies behind and explains the sign of the rainbow and the reason it is now saturating our culture? And could that mystery go back to the temples of ancient Mesopotamia?

Could the mystery of the gods have actually determined the outcomes and timing of Supreme Court rulings down to their exact days?

Is it possible that the dynamics of ancient mythology have actually played out in our public squares and on our city streets in real time?

Could these gods, or beings, actually be the unseen movers and catalysts of modern culture?

Could they even now, at this moment, be at work transforming the modern world beyond recognition?

What is it all leading to?

We will now embark on a journey beginning with the ancient entities known as the shedim. We will remove the veil to uncover the first and most important revelation underlying the mystery of the gods. We will see the ancient transformation concerning the gods that changed world history. We will open up a two-thousand-year-old warning involving a house of spirits and what it foretells concerning the modern world.

We will then see how the gods of the ancient mystery have come into our world. We will uncover the dark trinityand how it has changed our culture.

We will reveal how the gods are working and moving in all that is taking place around us, how they are initiating social upheavals and cultural revolutions, indwelling our politics, transforming our worldand even our lives.

Finally, we will open up the meaning and significance of it all, what it portends, what it will lead to, and what we need to know and do in light of it.

A warning: The mystery revealed in this book will touch the sacred cows of our culture and age. It will broach that which is deemed unbroachable, speak that which is judged as unspeakable, question the unquestionable, and reveal that which has not yet been revealed.

It will address the most radical and controversial issues of our time, the front lines of cultural upheaval, the catalytic forces that are now transforming society, civilization, history, and life as these have been known.

As it progresses, the mystery will become more intense and more explosive. Thus the latter part of the revelation will be even more so than the first.

At the same time, it will touch these sacred cows and issues in a way in which they are not normally touched, illuminated by the light of a mystery that goes back ages, to ancient times.

What one does with the revelations is in ones own court.

The purpose of this book is to reveal them.

THE GODS HAVE returned.

They had been away for ages. The ancients had exiled them. They wandered the barren and desolate places, the deserts and wildernesses, the alleyways and ruins, the graves and sepulchres. They haunted the underground, the dark realms of the forbidden, the taboo, and the dead. They inhabited the shadows of the outer darkness.

In their days of glory, they had reigned over tribes and nations, kingdoms and empires. They had subjugated cultures and mastered civilizations, infusing them with their spirits, saturating them with their images, possessing them.

They sat enthroned in marble temples and shrines of wood and stone, by hallowed trees and rivers, in sacred groves, and in mountaintop sanctuaries. Their statues and carved images looked down at their worshippers who approached their altars with offerings and tributes, sacrifices and blood, even human victims.

Kings bowed down before them, priests sang their praises and performed their rituals, armies set off to war and laid cities to waste in their names, and children, the rich and the poor, the free and the slave alike exalted them, worshipped them, entreated their favor, invoked their powers, danced to the drumbeat of their festivals, dreamed of them, loved them, served them, dreaded them, became entranced and seized by them.

But the days of their dominion came to an end. They were expelled from the high places, banished from the palaces of kings, driven out of the public squares, cast out of their temples, and removed from the lives of their subjects.

Their groves were neglected, their shrines abandoned, their altars left in disrepair, and their sanctuaries in ruins. No longer were they worshipped or feared. No longer were their hymns sung, their festivals partaken in, or their holy days observed. No longer were they believed in.
