► It is Nicholas' style to give you examples, and I can practically hear him wishing me to do so now. To be honest, it would be a mammoth task to do justice to his book in this way, but let me make a point about the title; Future of God Amen takes that one word, the derivation and meaning of which few of us know, right back to the Egyptian ultimate creator God, Amon.
► "It is conceivable that God was at work from the very beginning by first introducing Himself to the Egyptians as the god of creation, Atum. This god, venerated as two phases of the sun, Atum and Kheprer, later became Atum-Re. As the Priesthood developed a high moral code of conduct that offered the promise of eternal life, Atum-Re became Amon-Re, the principle god of Egypt. By 1270 BCE, the Priesthood of Amon proclaimed, "Amon As the Sole God" of all creation. Today, many worshippers are unaware that they revere Amon as they announce his name as Amen in temples, churches, and mosques. They have been misled by religious leaders who continue to ignore the words of Jesus Christ stated in John's Revelation 3:14. There, Jesus proclaimed Amen as, "the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God." Rather than reveal the truth, religious leaders have taught their worshippers that Amen means, "So be it.""
► This is a book for every Jew, Christian and Muslim. Having myself looked in some detail at the initiation of a pre-dynastic Egyptian priest; I could wish Nicholas had given more time to the development of Egyptian pan-theistic beliefs - that must be the subject for another work.
I commend this book to you.
