Introduction

  I welcome you to the Iron Scepter.  Let me open up the book by sharing a little bit about its title.  I’ve gone across the words, Iron Scepter from my readings of the magnificent Psalms of King David http://bible.cc/psalms/2-9.htm.  Who, as we all know the Islam and Jewish faiths emulate--an ancestor of Jesus Christ.  These two words so captured my interest with the universality it possess that encompass both the old and the new.  You would notice that the words “Iron Scepter” can be read in the Old Testament/Torah and can also be found in the book of Revelation of the Holy Bible as well http://bible.cc/revelation/2-27.htm. These findings struck me in a manner suggesting a junction that was there since time immemorial about the fruition of the life we face ahead. 

 The Iron Scepter is composed of chapters explaining how people long ago struggled and fought against dictates of primitive times.  How they managed to find ways to survive and refine political, judicial, and religious persuasions which in turn became lore of legacy that we enjoy right now.

 

    The book uncovers life’s history with realistic approach about accounts of the past for the sole purpose of qualifying and defining man’s destiny.  Interesting questions like where really is the Garden of Eden or the Promised Land; is there really anything wrong about knowing good and evil?  If so, why do we now enjoy the fruits of knowing the difference between the two? Did God really bring about confusion among men through peoples’ diverse language?

  Answers to these questions and onto astonishing exposé about Judgment Day-when God shall be with man and be their God http://bible.cc/revelation/21-3.htm (Revelation 21:3).  Will each government ever find solutions to the age-old problems like poverty and crime?  Shall the union of nations in the embodiment of the United Nations, with its noble aims and policies in upholding wellness of each country be fully realized?

  With a premise that we, as men, are of the same human race and under one God, this book wishes to be a potent catalyst between diverse religious beliefs and structures of government to form an ultimate harmony for a better world-a world like nothing we have ever known http://bible.cc/daniel/2-44.htm (Daniel 2:44), .http://bible.cc/psalms/145-13.htm (Psalms 145:13) .

  Though, no matter how “secular” government may want themselves distinguished, apart from the church-this book would insinuate how both operate as conduits of goodwill and collective harmony.    And no matter how their approaches are, church and government have always been a reflection and almost often than not, accountable for peoples’ decency of conduct, standard of morality, and suitable contribution for a more productive living.  It also underscores their roles on how they are vested with utmost responsibility in molding people across the globe to absolute amiability.  This book guides our conscience to attain finest indulgence in respect, and love for a better and brighter world-holy and acceptable before our Almighty God.

  The book’s contents internalize peoples, places and events which have continuously influenced written documents that were cornerstones of principles of beliefs that is shaping the minds and spirit of men up to this time.  With pragmatic proportions, this book establishes a common resolve to attain unity around the world, eliciting care for one another, as well as empathy to sustain each and every nation’s advancement that would converge into a common, amicable and feasible ground of human understanding of both religion and government.
