2100AD: "The pollution is level 10," a news report said. Tragic things were happening on planet Earth as global warming became worse and the wars for fuel were fought between the 'First Four' planets. Jason Kindle, a teenager, began a journey as one of two-hundred passengers, across the Milky Way Galaxy in search of a new home world and a new beginning. He encounters the first of an alien life form who helped save his life and those of the other passengers and their ship called the Galaxy. Starting a new life on a new world called Bright Star had its problems. Establishing a new world order was begun immediately after arrival. Several hundred years had passed on Earth since the Galaxy departed two-hundred years earlier. Jason was responsible for bringing cohesion between the human race and the Narin species. However, suspicions about the alien presence on Bright Star, persisted. His actions later result in a trip to Earth to face execution. He saw many exciting discoveries in space on that journey. M-13, a moon orbiting a dead planet, recently discovered, was about to give up its secrets and unravel a mystery about the human race and an earlier journey into deep space; a debris field was orbiting this small moon and could be seen more clearly as it passed in front of the sun. Was this a result of a cataclysmic end to a space journey...

Do humans have a special capacity designed to foster experiences of God? What role do specific bodily actions or emotions play in the cultivation of a divine experience? Prayer as Divine Experience in 4 Ezra and John’s Apocalypse: Emotion, Empathy, and Engagement with God explores these questions in a systematic study of the emotions in two apocalyptic texts. The book of 4 Ezra, an ancient Jewish apocalypse, and the book of Revelation, an ancient Christian Apocalypse written by John, are examined with a focus on the emotional language of the prayers and prayer preludes contained in this literature. Both texts were composed in the first-century of the Common Era, a time when most people exposed to literature heard the content as it was recited. The emotive language in these writings could potentially arouse similar emotions in the readers or hearers of these texts, allowing the person to have access to the divine experiences, which are described by the seer in 4 Ezra and are expressed by the angelic choir in John’s Apocalypse. Prior to examining the prayers, Prayer as Divine Experience will describe the neurological processes that cause a person to mirror the emotions expressed by another individual, thereby prompting an imitation of the experience that is perceived.
