In between, we see Jesus' ministry in the context of the Biblical motif of Christ taking back the inheritance of the nations from the rebellious Sons of God. The demons that rose up in that day were not random but were evil spirits with a purpose, part of a comprehensive battle strategy between Christ and the Powers. When it comes to spiritual warfare, Jesus was no pacifist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJesus Triumphant \u003c\/em\u003eexplains why most people misunderstood the deliverer to be a worldly warrior king instead of the suffering Servant he was.

I would say the series is rated PG-13. The\u003cem\u003e Chronicles\u003c\/em\u003e do deal with evil behaviors that would be appropriate for mature teens and above. The violence in the \u003cem\u003eChronicles\u003c\/em\u003e is like the book of Judges. The sexuality is like Song of Solomon, alluded to poetically, but obviously. The description of sexual evil is like Ezekiel 16, sometimes shocking, but never glorified. There is an occasional profane word or vulgarity like in Ezekiel 23, revealing spiritual wickedness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Embedded Pictures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942858027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.76d","brand":"Brian Godawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671774425244,"sku":"9781942858027","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_45c37813-055e-4424-a9a9-0ca279877368.jpg?v=1603926214","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jesus-triumphant-9781942858027","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
