Melchizedek's Ascent
Michael Horton
Book Series:
by
Keturah's Children
First Edition
Two decades following Abram’s arrival, a shrouded figure, a stranger to all, stumbles into Harran, directed there by the mysterious “Slave of Zeboiim” to find the middle-aged shepherd, Abram, famous for having shamed and eluding both kings and kingdoms. Simultaneously, armies dispatched by proclaimed leaders of four nations- Elam, Sumer, Larsa, and even from Abram’s adoptive home nation of Assyria- have come together and have begun a steady conquest of the people of the south. It makes no sense. There is no treasure to speak of. The captured lands are spread out and do not work well together. The entire military campaign, whereas bloody and brutal, appears fruitless from the outset. What are these armies doing so far from home? General Chedorlaomer, also known as Kudur-Lagamar, knows exactly why they are fighting. He has set these armies out to kill a single human being. The yātu sorcerers have warned the king of a man called “Abraham,” the god-crusher, who, if left unstopped, will rise up and vanquish a whole pantheon of gods.
Abram, albeit reluctantly, can fight battles of mankind. However, when it comes to the world of mysticism, magic, and sorcerers, he is far outside of his league. Quietly arising in the south, an enigmatic young man is making waves and doing the impossible. The only way for Abram to survive is for this Slave of Zeboiim, Melchizedek, to ascend.
