Noah and the Holy Scepter

The Scepter shall not depart from Judah.

--Genesis 49:10

The adventure of Noah, son of Solomon, continues. A week has passed since Noah's providential discovery of the scepter of Judah, a holy relic with the capability to take this modern boy back in time to walk through biblical stories.

Fresh off the successful recovery of the first scepter jewel in ancient Jericho, Noah joins his father and the excavation crew as they continue their investigation of the buried chamber where he uncovered the relic. The primary focus for Solomon and his team is the unusual hieroglyphs adorning the chamber walls. A tumultuous Mediterranean storm interrupts their study, leaving Noah alone inside the chamber. The glyphs come to life, and a stranger's voice speaks two Hebrew words, "Lochque'bo. Litse'od." But what does it mean?

Back at camp, Noah is transferred to a time long forgotten where he meets Elisha, the prophet of God. The holy man explains Noah's next adventure, his destination--Second Kings chapter 3, a time during a divided Israel. The northern kingdom is led by King Joram, an immature and rash leader. A long-standing treaty is violated, forcing King Joram to request the help of his southern counterpart, King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Together, along with the Edomites, this unsteady alliance moves to wage war against King Mesha of Moab.

Noah is enlisted into Judah's elite fighting force, the Mighty Men, under the command of General Adnah, with the help of Thios and a new friend, along with a few heroes of the faith. Noah must locate another scepter jewel to return home.

War is upon him. An army of seven hundred thousand Moabites stands in his way. God's heavy hand forces the alliance to trust Him alone and obey or perish in the desert wasteland.
