The Lost Revelation
The Lost Revelation delivers what may be the most ground-breaking interpretation of Jesus’ life and ministry since the Apostles’ first writings, and is surely more entertaining.
Archeologists discover ancient scrolls that contain an extraordinary first-person account of Jesus’ entire life, including two provocative bombshells.
The first revelation is a description of a remarkable lost teaching: the secret to entering the Kingdom of Heaven within. The account explains how Jesus learned to enter an infinite kingdom of love and light hidden within him, how he then mastered the ability to teach this experience to others, and makes it clear that this revelation was the true genesis and purpose of his ministry.
The second, darker claim, exposes a conspiracy hatched shortly after Jesus’ death, when his secret teaching was all but erased from history, fatefully altering Christian theology long before Constantine first summoned the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.
The protagonist is Joseph’s nephew, an irreverent Roman Jew named Rubicon, who becomes Jesus’ unlikely closest confidant while watching the precocious boy grow up in Nazareth. Rubicon weaves a rich story of key events that influenced Jesus during his childhood, and how the child prodigy challenged the practices and beliefs of his rabbis and Temple priests. By age twelve, Jesus is a serious seeker of God and determines that the Creator can’t be found through his religion.
Meanwhile, Rome had recently conquered Egypt. Their spoils included valuable seafaring trade routes through the pharaohs’ ingenious man-made canals that connected the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea. New business opportunities are up for grabs with India and the far East. When Rubicon accepts a lucrative trade position for Rome, Jesus sails with him to continue his search for God.
Rubicon’s quest for riches leads to Jesus’ discovery of an ancient teaching that proves far more valuable than all the gold in the Roman Empire. When Jesus and Rubicon finally return home from their respective world travels, Rubicon is consumed by Jesus’ overwhelming love and wisdom. Rubicon receives Jesus’ secret teaching, then goes to work full-time with Jesus and the apostles.
The Lost Revelation is historic fiction built upon exhaustive research. It delivers a unique journey through volatile geopolitics unfolding during Jesus’ lifetime, including competing interests between Rome, Temple high priests in Jerusalem, Jewish revolutionaries, and certain Apostles, all vying for power in the Holy Land, and how each impacted Jesus’ life, his ministry, and eventually wove inextricably tangled webs around his mission.
Millions have wondered: Why is ninety percent of Jesus’ life missing from the Bible? The Lost Revelation makes a convincing case through a transformational voyage of love and jealousy, humor and agony, war and peace, and loyalty and deceit, while offering unique, thought provoking interpretations of Jesus’ life and work.
Mark G. Adams has created a sweeping adventure that answers the most vexing questions about the mysterious life of Christ. It includes an intimate description of the amazing experience Jesus taught, how and why his teaching was altered after his death, and in the end, he leaves clues that the Kingdom of Heaven may again be at hand.
