Excerpt from Chapter One One Thousand Years Genesage
One Thousand Years: Genesage
The words were a song. They were certainly a litany. It was how began Eben Abram his
lessons on living in the Kingdom of God. Five days a week for roughly one hour a day the
community of Bethtleben would hold a meeting to learn about the Kingdom.
Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter, they were often like a lecture. Many times they included
a discussion. It could be amusing, it could be fun; there were occasions when it was in fact
quite serious. While the meetings, community assemblies, were not mandatory, everyone
participated in the small village like township.
Each day a representative from every household came to the meetings. There they would listen
or participate, passing on the information to their homes. Twelve separate households or
"Houses" made up the community of Beth Eben; House of Eben (bethleben). These houses
served as homes for the refugees who lived there.
Since the Great Devastation had come upon the Earth, the only place spared was the Land of
Promise, Israel. Nothing else remained. Most of humanity had been annihilated. Traces of
technology were all but obliterated. Remnants of landmarks crushed. Cataclysmic events on
earth scarcely left human beings alive. Had God not stopped death from occurring no flesh
would have survived the onslaught. The Apocalypse had come. For whom the bells had tolled
was obvious by their absence. It had felt like the End of the World. It was not; some had
survived. Refugees of the world that was. The World they had known no longer existed.
Israel's boundaries had been greatly expanded after all other lands were wiped off the face of
the map. The previous continents were no more. All lands had now become one. The “One
Land “mass was surrounded not by Oceans or water but an arid dry decayed area. They were
dry dusty sea beds resembling a moonscape where nothing grew. The rugged sub oceanic
terrain now were giant flatlands with slight depressions more desolate than the famed salt flats.
