Product Description

"I will open my mouth in a parable, I will utter dark sayings of old, which we have heard and known and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from our children..." Psalm 78:2-4

Thetruthishere.com presents Revelations, Alpha and Omega. In its opening scene, the narrator promises "Stories, myths, and legends. I'll show you where they all began. And more importantly, how they end." In fulfilling this promise, David Allen Rigsby's epic tale carries the reader on a mythical tour through time and space, where the inter-relation of religious tales and historical events is revealed.

The classic struggle between God and Satan proves to be true! Gabriel told the prophet Daniel that the understanding of end-time prophecy was to be sealed until the end days. Are they here? Revelations Omega chillingly predicted the terrorist attack on the World Trade Towers and Washington DC. So what is next? Readers perplexed by the events of today's world can look to Revelations, Alpha and Omega for understanding, solace, and hope.

"Original, enlightening, and provocative...a captivating tale! Rigsby's interpretation casts a light on human affairs which is both timeless and timely." —Henry Berry, Editor/Publisher, The Small Press Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best end-time Christian novel I've read! Period., April 10, 2003

By A Customer

I've read this book and I've got to admit, it's very interesting. I'm not sure that I agree with everything the author claims to be the truth about mankind's past as it relates to the Bible, but he makes some very good arguments and they're very well supported. I can't for the life of me, figure out why anyone would only give this book one star. It's a great story and very well told. Even the author himself closes his own story by telling readers that he's only steering them in the direction of self-discovery and that to learn the rest of the truth to go and read the Bible or God's Word.
In terms of ambition and scope, "Revelations" reminds me of early epic poems of Homer and Satyricon. Its episodic nature works quite well and I was caught up in every single story, from the story of creation, Satan's race of giants to the finale at Armageddon. The way the author tied modern-day circumstances with Bible prophecy is simply remarkable and frightening. His writing style is very cinematic in quality, with wonderfully descriptive passages. I loved the way he combined elements of science fiction, spiritualiy and even the Roswell story. It was very post-modern in tone.
In conclusion, the story was great, ambitious, grand (and grandly entertaining), and a whirl-wind tour of the eternal battle between Satan and God. What an imagination! Five Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiction or non-fiction... you decide!, February 22, 2002

By A Customer

I've read all of the "Left Behind" series and the "Christ Clone Trilogy." This two-part (but both are in the one book) story leaves them all behind! (Pardon the pun.) I had no idea that history and the Bible went together like this. Adam and Eve were buried in the Giza pyrmamids, which were built by the righteous seed of Seth... NOT the Egyptians. How did a handful of men do that? By faith that moves mountains. Jesus said we could command a mountain to cast itself into the sea and if we had enough faith, it would obey. If that doesn't seem far-fetched enough, the author cleverly reveals through the plot and his characters how he came about such startling conclusions and revelations. (Now I understand the title). The real shocker was that Lucifer is a living machine made in the image of the original pre-flood serpent that joins with four other living machines of gold (lion, eagle, ox, and man) and carries God's throne this way in the 3-D world. Talk about some ancient Power Rangers! I won't spoil anymore of the story. You've got to read this one. It even predicted the fall of the World Trade Towers and the attack on Washington DC and this story was originally copyrighted in 1999!

1.0 out of 5 stars Revelations of half truths and deception, June 17, 2003

By A Customer

The format of the book is distracting and tedious. The book is written in a screenplay format, and jumps from scene to scene so quickly its difficult to grab hold of any type of plot or storyline. It is difficult to find the meaning behind the supposed fictional story of the end times.
The conclusion of the book contains the author's admonition that he alone has figured out what all of the prophecy scriptures mean. The impression the reader gets from the conclusion is that this fictional story/screenplay is based on truth. The author, claiming to be an interpreter with the help of God's holy spirit, has found the true meaning of the prophecy scriptures. The author then describes the Native American Indians as being the Canaanites referenced in Genesis 10:18. He makes a vague reference to the Indian reservations of modern day. This is where the "truth" becomes difficult to fathom. What happened to the native American Indians was neither divinely set in place nor holy - it was merely another example of man's inhumanity to man. This is where the half truths become deceptive and highly questionable. I would not recommend this book.
