This book starts in 600 BC in Jerusalem. A man and his family leave because of divine instruction and venture off towards an unknown destination called the promised land. They go across deserted and dangerous lands and are plagued from much intrigue within their own family. Some learn to trust in God, while others reject him. They cross the sea and find themselves in the promised land. This family feud turns into years and years of strife and war.

Great kings and civilizations rise and fall in short amounts of time, cities destroyed overnight, a constant struggle between good and evil, and wars and bloodshed abound until the long awaited prophesy of a Savior is fulled.
