Publisher's Synopsis
Genuine devotion to all mankind, peacefulness, tolerance, and trust is required for salvation. However the Dragon's powers, which occupy the central places of the world - the Beast, which dominates the world's religions and politics - is unscrupulously and methodically creating and maintaining the social system of injustice, division, and inequality in all areas of human life, everywhere across the globe.As it is mentioned in the scriptures, at the point of major world crises, signs of wars, terror, suffering, and wickedness, the Lord descend to this mortal world of duality, good and evil, life and death, to help rectify society against the disintegration of morality, and to establish a spiritual kingdom so that anyone who believes will be saved and anyone who does not believe will perish. There will be a great sign in the heavens: the Star of Bethlehem, a woman clothed with the sun, and a great red dragon.A wicked and unfaithful people demand a sign, but the only sign that shall be given is the sign of Jonah. It is written in the Quran (37:139-141): "and, verily, Jonah was among the apostles when he ran away into the laden ship; and he cast lots, and was of those who lost; and a fish swallowed him, for he was to be blamed..." As mentioned in Matthew (12:40, KJV): "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." This is confirmed in Hexagram 18: "three days before the commencement, three days after the commencement."The first Beast identified as Satan or 666, receives its power from the Celestial Dragon and comes from the Heavens. The second Beast is a worshiper of the image of the first Beast. The second Beast arrives from the Earth (i.e., it is an inhabitant of the Earth), and exercises all of the supreme authority and power of the first Beast. The Beast from the Earth demands supremacy by forcing all people to worship money and secures absolute dominance by employing the legions of death. The second Beast also establishes the 'False Prophet' to discredit the rights and faith of anyone who may dare to think independently and differently. The worldly powers, in terms of absolute dominance, great authority, and strong influence, belong to the Red Dragon, and not to the Lamb. Any friendship with the worldly power, which Satan uses to deceive people and develops a culture of destruction to prevail over the masses will ultimately lead to an apocalypse. However, with no heads of the Dragon, all deadly sins will vanish. This is depicted in this book (Hexagram 1, line 7): the dragon with no heads indicates a time of peace and love.To 'raise a prophet' will not be effective in the long-term, and will end up achieving the opposite, as we know from the history of mankind. The prophet will probably be followed blindly in the begin The prophet will probably be followed blindly in the beginning and then soon be betrayed and killed when he is not able to protect the exploited classes or perform miracles enough to produce sufficient surplus to support the needs of his followers. Consequently, the teaching of the prophet will be quickly modified to suit a new agenda, a new official religion, and a newly established church.However, the 'Holy Spirit' can illuminate the believers as mentioned in John (14:16-17, KJV): "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."Any change should begin with each of us, and this is the "Book of Personal Changes". Everyone should only attempt to change themselves for the better, and the world will change in positive ways. It is written in Habakkuk (2:14, KJV): "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea."
