This book postulates a theory based on verified facts of investigative history. This book is fundamentally a history analytica of the Arabian Peninsula in the 6th and 7th century C.E. with focus on the Prophet of Islam Abul Qasim Muhammad bin Abdullah. The facts of history from which this theory emerged, as well those passages of the Quran that also support this theory, are the contents of this book.The theory postulates that Muhammad was a highly intelligent, wise, and far-sighted person, who had many rare qualities. He had an uncanny sense of judging individuals and communities. A great planner and executor of complicated and long drawn plans. He harbored the unique ambition of conquering the entire Arabian Peninsula and becoming its sole ruler. The problem was that the numerous tribes, both settled and nomads, had a long history of in-fighting, and blood feuds, spread over generations. To raise a large and united army, Muhammad had to inculcate inter-tribe and intra-tribe unity, peace, and harmony. He had to be in a position to command and control their behavior; introduce and execute social reforms to end the hostilities and enmities for good. Muhammad, according to this theory, decided to announce that Almighty Allah, the sole creator of the Universe, divinely ordained him as His Prophet and Messenger, more glorified than all previous prophets sent before Muhammad. Prophethood would enable Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad to command total submission from the Arabs, thus helping him achieve his objectives. Muhammad announced that the ArchAngel Gabriel brought words from Allah appointing Muhammad as Allah's Most Exalted Prophet for mankind. That ArchAngel Gabriel continued to bring him the revelations from Allah for 22 long years. HOWEVER, NO ONE BUT MUHAMMAD ALONE, COULD SEE, HEAR, AND CONVERSE WITH GABRIEL. To all other humans, Gabriel was invisible and inaudible. There was no worldly proof or verification that Gabriel ever came, or even existed for that matter. All else flows from this flaw.

For the reader who is interested in what the Bible has to say about future events, especially the coming worldwide Tribulation and the Rapture of the Church, this book will help to harmonize prophecies of both the Old and New Testaments. The same is true for those who would like to get a panoramic view of the entire book of Revelation of the Church. Five arguments are given to substantiate the validity of, and importance of, this theological position. For the reader who does not claim to be a Christian, this book will challenge him or her to see their need to accept Jesus as personal Savior now, before it is too late.

Miraculous events occur every day in a Christian's life if they have the "eyes of their heart opened" as St. Paul prayed. Most supernatural events are unseen or not spiritually appraised by the average Christian. But at certain times, God breaks through our rationalizations and unbelief and reveals his Real Presence to us in the the most amazing ways. This memoir is based on forty-four years of dreams, visions, angels and demons that were manifested to me, my wife Jane, and other family members.Of course, there were many days and nights when I experienced the "dark night of the soul," where God seemed distant and my spiritual soul was dry and in need of the water that comes from Jesus. This book was started fifteen years ago but I stopped writing as it was not the time to do it as God had other things for me to learn. Then, in 2011 I had a brain stroke caused by a blood clot. I was not able to work as a teacher for six months and I was left with mild paralysis on my right side. God allowed the stroke to happen but also taught me to be thankful for each day as life itself is a miracle!My prayer and hope for you is that you would take seriously the bible account of miracles in the four Gospels and in Luke's account of the early church in the book of Acts in the New Testament. St. Augustine said it best,"NOVERIM TE, NOVERIM ME." This translated is, "May I know you, may I know me." M.S. Lynch

God; U.F.O.; Antichrist comes from me talking to God in private as if a young man now putting it into a book as an older man. To let those things God showed me be displayed. I wanted to write this in the year 2000. I had a publisher, but God said, "No, not yet ready are they."After Covid-19 started, He said, "Now is the time. They are ready now. The world is at its weakest point."I closed my eyes, began talking to God the Creator of life, and He poured into things He wanted humans to know like UFOs are not our God and things about heaven and what plan He has for us in the universe. I must be honest I never thought to live this long. My two friends, Kevin, Thomas and Derick Edwards, were ironically shot in the head. I, at fifteen, had my first gun pulled on me. The guy on top had a gun to my head on my temple. I scared him and yelled, "Get off or shoot me." I should have died that day. Why am I still here? Maybe this book is the reason? Yes, let's see.

"I travel, therefore I am - apologies to Descartes for twisting his noble thought." That's how M. P. Prabhakaran explains his passion for travel in the "Preface" to this book. If academic qualifications are a measure of one's learning experience, he has a string of them, he says. But they are no match for what he has learned from his travels around the world, he adds. He shares with the readers what he learned through the pages of this book.He introduces them to the geopolitical, historical and cultural landscapes of various countries stretching from Argentina to China. He narrates in one English prose the scenic beauty of some of the places he visited and personal stories of some of the people he met. In the course of interacting with those people, he also projects among them the real image of India - the image of a country which, in spite of being multi-religious, multiethnic and multicultural, has remained intact as a single political entity and become the most vibrant democracy in the world. The book is a page turner.
