I enjoyed The Final Dispensation: The Mayor's Mandate. This book was an interesting speculation as to what life during the millenium rule of Christ might look like. The writing style is engaging and keeps the story moving. I was eager to see what would happen next with Ben. My one disagreement is that I feel Jesus would be much more involved than portrayed in the book. But if you are looking for a possible viewpoint of what life might be like when Satan is bound for a 1000 years and those who live during that time are free to choose their sides, this book is for you.
I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
In the glorious new earth where the risen Lamb reigns victorious, former orphan Benjamin Levi never expected to become mayor of Jerusalem.
But when his celebration of Yeshua's triumph is shattered by a terrorist bombing, he discovers that even in the Messiah's redeemed world, some children still fall through the cracks, and his Lord has called him to find them.
The bomber, seventeen-year-old David, must choose between his sister's life and innocent strangers. Behind the attack lies a network of forgotten orphans, recruited by those who've refused to trust the Lamb. As Benjamin uncovers the failures that drove these children into darkness, he faces the ultimate test of discipleship: will he trust Yeshua's heart for the lost, even when it means risking everything?
When the Messiah sends him to a remote island where missing children are being held captive by false shepherds, Benjamin must infiltrate a community that twists love into control, convincing traumatized children that safety requires rejecting the very grace that died for them. Racing against systematic brainwashing designed to steal their capacity for relationship with their Savior, Benjamin must demonstrate that the Lamb's love is boundless, His mercy inexhaustible, His kingdom open to the contrite and broken of heart.
A powerful testament to how the crucified and risen King works through broken vessels, transforms institutional failure into redemptive opportunity, and proves that no child is beyond the reach of nail-scared hands that will never let them go.
