"Sir, when the regulations of my country clash with the laws of my God, I must obey my God," Ivan declared. The general studied Ivan's face seriously. "Does that include the regulations of your army?" Religion was suppressed. Christians were forced to practice their faith secretly. Yet one teenage boy found the courage to stand up and speak boldly about his God. Not just to his friends or in a private church meeting--but on a military base. In front of nearly 3,000 enlisted men . . . and one colonel. Foolish? Maybe. Risky? Definitely. But Ivan Gumenyuk had determined to follow God's calling, and right then God was calling him to be a missionary in the Soviet army. Like Daniel of old, Ivan faced trials that tested his faith to the limits. And, like Daniel, Ivan accomplished incredible things for God.

David glanced across the fire at his oldest brother, Eliab, who was sharpening his sword. Eliab looked like a soldier, with his leather armored vest and his spear stuck into the ground beside him. His jet black eyes looked stern, and his jaw muscles tightened as he gripped his sword in his strong, sinewy hand. As Eliab turned to leave, David jumped to his feet. Eliab? David grinned excitedly. He was almost afraid to ask the question. Do you think I could join the army sometime soon and fight with you and Abinadab and Shammah for the king? You're not old enough to fight, anyway, so you can get that notion out of your head! When you're a grown man, then you can sign up. . . . And besides, if you leave, who will watch the sheep? Come along! The journey is just beginning for the shepherd warrior.

The ark of God has been captured, he choked on the words. It s now in the hands of the Philistines. Laadan dropped to his knees in the dirt of the city gate, his mind whirling like a wheel. All of this news was overwhelming! The battle with the Philistines had been lost. Hophni and Phineas had been killed as prophesied, and Laadan s brother, Uzzi, might even be dead. Eli was dead now, too, and even worse the ark of God was gone. Could there be any news worse than this in the world? Without the ark there was no hope for anyone in Israel anymore. It appeared Jehovah had indeed departed from Israel. What would happen now? Would Laadan and his family become Philistine slaves? And what about his friends Iddo, Carmi and Leah? Would he ever see them again? Would the Philistines destroy God s tabernacle too? Guardians of the Mercy Seat chronicles the adventures of Laadan and his friends as they struggle to know God s will for Israel and their own lives in the tumultuous days leading up to the capture of the ark of the covenant, and the troubled times following its seizure. Would they have the courage to stand for what they believe? No matter what? Would they ever be able to return to Shiloh to worship at the tabernacle? Or had God truly abandoned Israel?

Guardians of the Mercy Seat

For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place (Jeremiah 29:10 NKJV). Caleb climbed up on a stack of crates to examine some wooden cartons near the ceiling. Some were smaller, but some were very large. On the back side of one large wooden crate, he could see familiar characters printed in Aramaic. Then he saw another crate. As his gaze swept the area, he could see many, many crates. All labeled the same: War trophies from Judah Relics from Zedekiah s temple, Temple treasures from Jerusalem. Hey, Tamzi Come up here he called. You ve got to see this! All the Jews were talking about it Jeremiah s 70-year prophecy. Some thought it would be fulfilled; others thought that God had abandoned His people once and for all. And now, Caleb and his Babylonian friend, Tamzi, had discovered something important something really important. Caleb was certain of that, but who could confirm his suspicions? The Watchers follows Caleb, Tamzi, their families, Allamu the blind beggar, and the old prophet Daniel, as before their very eyes the mighty kingdom of Babylon is overthrown by Cyrus and his Medo-Persian army. Was this the beginning of the end for the Babylonian Jews or the sign of a new beginning? God would keep His promise Caleb was sure of it!

If the boys thought they were only digging a rock from the ground, they were in for a surprise. As the large stone came free, it uncovered a pit that looked like a small cistern lined with stones. The pit was nearly filled with dirt, and in the middle of it was a mysterious clay jar. Whoa! What on earth is this? Micah jumped down in the hole to get a closer look, and Koz jumped in after him. A clay jar. Koz knelt beside the faded piece of pottery. I wonder what s in it, he said as he took a stick and scraped some of the dirt off. The jar looked like it had once been orange-brown in color, and had a stone cover on top. Micah shrugged. I don t know. Whatever s in it must be important, or someone wouldn t have gone to all the trouble to bury it here. The jar was half submerged in dirt, so the boys dug around it until it was loose. They tried to lift it out, but it would hardly budge. It s stuck! Koz grunted, as he pushed and pulled at the jar. Micah shook his head. We ve dug around it enough. Whatever s in that jar is really heavy, that s all. Koz stared at the jar. You think so? I d bet on it. What do you think s in it? Dirt or maybe rocks? Maybe, but like I said, no one who would go to all the trouble to bury a jar with only rocks in it. Micah s heart was beginning to beat faster. Ever since they heard the story of the Widow of Shunem, Micah and Koz had been obsessed with treasure. Now they had found a mysterious jar that looked old and important. What was in it?
