The Modern Divine Comedy Book 7: Paradiso 1 Entry

Andrew J. Farrara

Description

A 20th century Journalist has a fantastic dream that he is thrown back into 1896 as a visitor like Dante’s Hero in the after-life.
The PARADISO is considered the most perfect part of the hereafter where the souls are permitted to live eternally if they can successfully complete the very difficult Celestial Examination process engaging the intellectual and personal guilt and forgiveness requirements system. Many celestial citizens take years, decades or centuries to complete.
The Celestial Trial of Josephus, the Annual Lantern Parade and Romano’s awakening from his dream nightmare at the ending are the major subjects in this Book.
This Celestial Trial of the ancient Jewish General and Roman writer, propagandist and collaborationist Flavius Josephus in discovering the real Spiritual Truths at the Celestial Supreme Court headed by the Biblical prophets Noah, Abraham and Moses is portrayed. Josephus is defended in Court by a late 19th century mortal American Barrister named Darryl Buchanan from Philadelphia who just successfully defended John D Rockefeller before Almighty GOD Himself in God’s Personal Supreme Peoples Court.
The goal of the Celestial Trial of ‘Josephus verses the Celestial Kingdom’ is to discover the Holy Secrets and Spiritual Truths of his writings as to determine whether he did or did not fabricate and/or conceal the Biblical truths and steal the Prophecy that the next Ruler of the Roman Empire was destined to come from Judea to save his own body and soul?
The Annual Lantern Parade at the Celestial Circus Maximus on Christmas Day has been a tradition since Jesus died on the Cross in the first century AD. The theme this year is called the Ancient & Divine Mysteries of the Universe.
BOOK FOUR ends with the Devil and his Three Crown Princes still trying to manipulate, dominate and overthrow the Kingdom with a Final Curtain Call where the Tragic End Game occurs and the Mise-en-Abime shows the hero Journalist Romano home awoken immediately after his dream in his basement apartment at a New York City Catholic Church.
