During the spring of 1987, author R.S. Rose Horowitz saw a sign at the exact corner of King George and Hillel Streets in Jerusalem. She saw a poster and translated its wording. Twenty-three years later, a voice came to her that says that it is time to write the story of her process, let it be known to the world and answer the question as to what would happen if the Messiah is indeed here.
The Messiah Chronicles: Book 1 is a spiritual fiction based from her experience on what she saw on that fateful day in 1987. It tells the story of Arielle, a new immigrant to Israel who saw a poster announcing the coming of the Messiah. She feels compelled to raise people's awareness about it in any way she can. She starts by interviewing people, follows an old Chassid who is putting up more signs, and gets involved in promoting the rally where the Messiah is to be revealed.
Little does she know that this day will change her life, setting her on an exploration of her beliefs and her commitment to the path she's chosen. A handsome young Chassid she meets the day of the rally, Aryeh, goes through changes of his own, choosing to leave the insular world he'd grown up in. David, a former Chassid who has chosen to leave the fold and expand his horizons, is of Davidic descent. His uncle Yehoshua, a Holocaust survivor, believes himself to be the Messiah and plans to let the world know at a rally in Jerusalem. Yehoshua has been excommunicated by his Chassidic sect, including most of his family. Though David isn't sure if it's true, he is willing to do whatever he can to help his uncle.
When Aryeh and Arielle meet again at a Shabbat dinner, they feel a strong bond. As they get to know each other and their relationship develops, Aryeh introduces her to his new friends, David and his fiancée Miri, and a world of spirituality she hadn't known existed. David's and Miri's love for Israel and his chosen profession, as a university professor, make it necessary for them to move back to the United States. In 1994, Miri had a dream that will lead them back to Israel for a visit and will allow them to realize a longtime dream.
The Messiah Chronicles: Book 1 includes many of the scenarios of what might happen when the Messiah is revealed. More than the plot, it includes the teachings that the author brings through for the readers. Author R.S. Rose Horowitz believes that the signs are everywhere but it's not enough just to see them but to recognize them as well and promote the success of His second coming. Her endeavors will bring a tikun to all those who read this book, fill with the knowledge of God, bring closer to the time of Moshiach, which will enable everyone to live their lives that is filled with holiness and divine inspiration, in a world filled with peace and free from suffering.
