In 2130, the god we worship is the wrong god; the science we believe in is not complete, and Raphael Aronson has given up the presidency of the United World Republic to his friend Uri Levinson. The Mustard Seed 2130, the third in the Mustard Seed trilogy, is a science-fiction adventure novel that is centered around a totally new, literal and factual interpretation of the Christian religion; how it is explained in scriptures and how it is supported by scientific fact. Morgan Baez and her friend, former president Raphael Aronson, with a handpicked group are attacked by an organization led by Rod Baez, Morgan’s adopted son. The story proceeds from Washington DC, to Newfoundland, through Hawaii and to Tel Meggido where the final unexpected war is to be fought, or not.
Aronson has found out that technology is the same as human genetics, scripture is science, war is the same as peace, and god is not God. He and his friends are guided by a mysterious recluse, who calls himself a Watcher, on a trip through human history and pre-history; how mankind progressed from “a curious little biped” through genetic manipulation to become one of the most powerful entities on Earth, from scientific Adam and Eve into the third millennium AD where the politics of greed and falsehood nearly destroyed mankind in a flash of worldwide war. And he has found the top of the food chain, but it is not who he expected.
Baez and the group follow the lead of a Watcher into the prophesies of the Book of Revelation only to find a surprise at the end where they find that the Theory of Relativity, the Parable of the Mustard Seed, and the Book of Revelation are the answers to humanity’s current existence and the explanation of our future.
