The Second Coming

About the Book

Jesus of Nazareth’s blasphemous statements, contradicting God’s Torah and the teachings of the Hebrew Prophets, had earned him a place in Gehinnom. His scheme of a Second Coming to smite all those that do not worship him as son of God and mankind’s saviour led him to a second trial – this time by a Heavenly Sanhedrin. An array of biblical and extra-biblical persons cross-examine him or testify in the case. These include Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Zechariah, Micah, Obadiah, Daniel, Ezra the Scribe, a Pharisee and a Sadducee, Pontius Pilate, Joseph Caiaphas, the DSS Teacher of Righteousness, Paul of Tarsus, and the harbinger of the true Messiah – Elijah the Tishbite. With a powerful Attorney defending him in Court, will Jesus repent of his blasphemies and renounce his second coming, or will he choose to face further legal consequences?

The Second Coming is a trial of Jesus of Nazareth conducted in the Heavenly Sphere and backed by Adonai Elohim. A fast-moving courtroom drama, it will appeal to both biblical scholars and laymen alike.
