“United States of Akkad in 2022 A.D. instead of 2200 B.C.?” Op-Ed

By Tonja Condray Klein©08/10/2022

I’ve been reading a lot of history books about the years of Antiquity and Ancient Empires including Sumerians, Hittites, and Akkadians since I traced one of my family lineages to the Macedonian/Turkey area in 720 BCE historically. When I came across what has been thought to have happened to the Akkadian Empire along with others before in same area at the same time as the Egyptians, I was shocked that Akkad seemed to disappear from the Earth after being a main empire for hundreds of years before. A three hundred year drought happened to cause deaths and then forced relocation due to the loss of crops, water, and lack of ability to keep people alive let alone prosperous as the empire had been for hundreds of years. Weather cycle drought and a main volcanic eruption caused their demise to happen in antiquity.

I had an “Oh, Lord Jesus, could the major drought in the United States in 2022 be a precursor to us like it was to Akkad in 2200 B.C when their leaders didn’t consider prosperity was getting ready to be taken away violently?” Weather cycles has been happening for centuries as noted by various histories, and they still happen around the world today even though ‘climate change’ is the current term that is NOT what they claim. Could this once prosperous country of America see a similar catastrophe happen here as it did to Akkad in Mesopotamia almost four thousand years ago? I’m sure those Akkadian, Macedonian, and Egyptian leaders hadn’t thought the Atlantic current temperature would become so low that rains wouldn’t fall for centuries. Food became scarce, fighting for survival began, and empires couldn’t recover.

The United States of America in 2020 had become energy independent and an exporter of oil to other countries, had businesses with goods to meet the needs of American consumers by stable transportation, and had been enjoying the most robust economy in American history… until Covid-19 became our volcano. Government policies quickly took our economy down more when it halted our main export that made us become dependent again within two years, but Covid-19 had an even steadier descent factor. American liberties were sacrificed to try to save lives since people wanted to live and help others live too. We didn’t realize that personal rights and American resources were being taken away as much since deaths from the worldwide pandemic made living become more important than freedoms that weren’t gone yet.

In the United States of America in 2022, we’re seeing our own country in a 27% drought in July with wheat crops failing and the Hoover Dam losing 158 feet of water as dangerously low! Gas prices are extremely high due to the policies that stopped us from being energy independent with our gas production that had been steady. Our transportation chain has slowed and is causing shortages, and if more crops fail then we’ll see even more increases to costs of main foods that will hurt middle and lower income Americans. Russia war with Ukraine might have caused some of our problems, but leaders have been spending OUR money and giving away OUR oil! Is America NOW Akkad in 2022 CE? Our leaders seem just as unaware of the drastic consequences from their actions as the Akkad leaders were unaware back in 2334 B.C.E.!

Guiana, Shri Lanka, and the Netherlands went ‘green’, gave up ‘farming’, and began starving. In 2018, France had riots when they tried to do the same thing. With these developments the world seems against “Modern Civilization”. If you read Hourly History book MESOPOTAMIAN HISTORY: SUMERIANS, HITTITES, AKKADIAN EMPIRE, ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, BABYLON then you’d know the ancients discovered ways to do things 4100 years earlier than people in 1400 CE England who didn’t. Records about Mesopotamian empires weren’t even found until “Cuneiform” tablets in the19th century and were translated. We now know that the empires kept homes warm, waste away from the homes and water sources, and farming plentiful to the point they exported food… until a volcano and a drought.

While I agree with intelligent and responsible conservation of this planet, some things being forced on the world in 2022 as the ONLY ways to keep ‘climate change’ from happening are more ignorant than the ways that the medieval society had in their time – Bubonic Plague, people! Proper water temperatures ARE needed for RAIN to produce FOOD, and long times of DROUGHT makes that impossible like it did with Mesopotamia about 6122 years ago. So WHY let a non-democratic foreign country buy OUR farmland near air force bases? We have a drought in 2022 for our farmers to deal with already! We risk NEVER being independent from countries that want to take freedoms we have left to then try to RULE OR STARVE us. Is this what the American people want because we are too afraid to say, “NO!” to China?

You can call me whatever horrid name you want, but I have read FACTS to PROVE what I take my time to write. Is it possible I accepted another person’s findings that seemed verified but have been refuted since? It’s possible, but I do have eyes, ears, and a functioning intellect to help me to decide what I choose to stand with when others only have blank concepts that make NO SENSE, emotional platitudes that PROVE NOTHING, and loud voices that only have those two things that are without REAL substance for any intelligent person to accept it. I READ A LOT. I read 113 books in 2020, 93 books in 2021, and 51 books to date in 2022. I don’t take anyone’s opinion before doing my own research of a subject, compare content to known facts, and accept what is rooted in REALITY. I’m not perfect, but I do try to be verifiable.

IF the drought taking place in America this summer lasts for more than a couple years and is said to be caused by ‘climate change’ then I’ll check on weather cycles to see if they explain how weather cycles were responsible instead. IF it was ‘climate change’ as claimed would cause it in our time then I’ll admit it, but I know we wouldn’t last more than a few years let alone hundreds like Akkadians did 4222 years ago. Considering that solar panels and wind mills CANNOT DO what supporters claimed they would in a national capacity, I won’t hold my breath. Fossil fuels (Natural Gas, Coal, and Oil) ALL are used for electricity NEEDED for Windmills AND Solar Panels to work. If we stop using Fossil Fuels we will have NO electricity. NO electronics, heating, cooling, or food storage. Mesopotamia did better on 3 out of 4!

The Russian war in Ukraine has been a current crisis, but now China is trying to secure Taiwan and tried to stop our Speaker of the House from visiting by actually giving a death threat if she did. America’s government isn’t trying to protect our national borders, farming land, energy sources, or even the prosperity of the American people coming out of the pandemic. Instead they are causing a present recession and passing a bill that will steal money from the middle and lower income Americans with tax increases for many years to pay for ideological projects that will weaken this country even more. With the drought already pointing towards hard times for regular people when it comes to just feeding their families, you would think our leaders would try to SECURE what AMERICANS need to survive. They refuse to do it.

If we’d all take a serious look at the historical and archaeological reasons and outcomes of what happened to the Akkadians in 2200 B.C. then we’d be able to see a correlation and try to CHANGE COURSE for America in 2022 A.D. Leaders need to STOP doing the things that make NO sense and makes America WEAKER with their failing policies and impossible allocations of this country’s resources without America’s best interest at all. Leaders need to STOP letting us become dependent on foreign products and resources. Americans needs to create them LOCALLY so we can take care of each other! If not, Americans will suffer a lack of food, medicine, heat, and electronic components used daily. Is that the kind of life any American wants? Are we going to let unaware or uncaring leaders destroy American lives this way now?

I don’t know if the House can stop the horrendous bill going through, but if it passes then our freedoms, those in the middle and lower incomes especially, will be harmed. I’m debt-free, but I have family who can barely afford food or living essentials, and they work now or have worked and retired. If you want to drink the free Kool-Aid some politicians are handing out from both sides, then be my guest. I won’t drink anything they hand to me. Politics are a poison. I hate it and the people who serve as high-priests or priestesses to their ideological religion KILL. “FREEDOM!” is my cry, and I don’t mean chaos that disrespects this country’s laws. I mean JUSTICE by our Constitution with Law and Order for the people by the people; FOR EVERY COLOR, GENDER, OCCUPATION, FAITH, AND SOCIAL STRATA!

ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! That is something I STILL BELIEVE exists in 2022. We just have a bunch of Akkadian-minded leaders who can’t see a volcano or drought bearing down on America in 2022. I SEE THEM! Can’t you? I really want to think that most people in America have at least a BIT of common sense. I’m hoping ALL of you that do will prove it in the upcoming election. Our leaders are not seeing what common people are very clearly, so we could actually think they are technically completely BLIND. I don’t want to be like Akkad. There is a possibility as a Christian that I MIGHT be gone BEFORE these mid-term elections. If not, then I’ll “Sound the alarm!” before that volcano or drought overtakes America completely. I promise to try!

“Is There Enough Shaking Yet, Brothers and Sisters in Christ?”

I’ve been watching both fact-related and opinion-given news, reading articles on our world’s changing political alignments, and comparing it all to the Holy King James Bible in 2020. With all that stated I can only conclude it means we are moving closer to the time known as the “Rapture” of the true Church who accepted Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior by believing the blood He shed for every single person on Calvary paid for ALL of our sins that we have at birth and are each accountable for once we come to the realization of our separation from God Almighty our Creator.

One thing currently concerns me: the last Great Revival has NOT happened yet! Where are present-day Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul? Where are you, Silas, Priscilla, and Timothy? There seem to be very few churches preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Where are the gifts of the Holy Spirit being used? Where are the churches that are yearning for the honest powerful touch of God that can hit you like a wrecking ball to break the chains on your life? Have you ever felt that loving hand of God that convicts you, saves you, cleans you, and restores you to your place with Him?

I have. I know this is real. I’ve felt His healing more than once. I’ve known His consoling touch during times of trial or loss. I’ve screamed, thrown things, and cursed in frustration, but Jesus Christ is always there to remind me WHO I belong to and HOW it’s possible for me to call on Him. Are you crying out for HIS divine touch? If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior then He has more for you in this life until we are taken to safety before the Great Tribulation in REVELATION, DANIEL, EZEKIEL, ISAIAH, and JEREMIAH. THE LAST REVIVAL MUST HAPPEN FIRST!

Have you been shaken yet? I believe God Almighty has been allowing things to happen to get our attention. No, He didn’t send the Corona virus to kill people; evil did that all on its own. The True Church needs to PAY ATTENTION! Jesus Christ is trying to WAKE UP THE CHURCH! Are you not tired of dry and meaningless religion yet? If you have ever been in the kind of church services I’ve been blessed to know then I can’t imagine you not wanting MORE of that infusion of the Holy Spirit in your heart, your mind, and your body! This is not crazy. The Gifts are the Presence of God.

Are you wishing for more joy through the reality of supernatural proof in the existence of God Almighty known in the Christian Faith and connected to the Jewish Faith? After studying scriptures and history, I cannot accept any other explanation for how the prophecies have been fulfilled with precision to the year, day, and even hour for it all to happen. I don’t know what is holding it back unless it’s the ones responsible with beginning this are either scared, frustrated with the leaders, or unaware of their important to DO WHAT GOD TELLS YOU WITH HIS GIFTS!

Receiving a Gift of the Holy Spirit is not some crazy ritual or hokey spiritual awaking. Praying in an Unknown Tongue is a sign that the Holy Spirit has infused you with the Pneuma of God again that ALL of mankind lost when Adam and Eve disobeyed our Creator and the world fell from Grace when sin entered. The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are: Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Revelation, Prophecy, Healing, Dreams, Faith, Discernment, Messages in Tongues, and Interpretations in Tongues. They are all meant to show God’s Presence to Believers and unbelievers.

As we see the new peace treaty with the United Arab Emirates and Israel we need to understand that this may be the way those serving the Anti-Christ already use to align countries needed for the Anti-Christ to be put in place. He may already be born and in politics in an area of previous Assyrian rule or a descendant from the Israel tribes in Dan. This is a possibility noted on several Christian groups that offer prophecy teachings that seem to line up with the main Holy Bible, world history, and current geographic locations with the layout of religious hierarchy theocracies in the Middle East.

Some things MUST happen before the Church is rescued before the Great Tribulation begins. Some think that won’t happen until the middle of the seven years stated. Others think at the end of the seven years. I believe it will be BEFORE the first judgment happens. I may be wrong, but I hope and pray to God Almighty in the powerful name of Jesus Christ that we will be taken away or “raptured” as the wording is used. Regardless, EVERY BELIEVER IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR, LORD, KING, AND GOD ALMIGHTY should be SEEKING, WATCHING, and PRAYING!

We also must be SHARING the True Gospel of Jesus Christ and not some watered-down religious meeting that has NO POWER, NO ENERGIZING, and NO SALVATION. I WANT MORE!!! More Gifts laying all our hearts bare before God Almighty so we can’t hide and will cause a spiritual reaction that CHANGES LIVES, SAVES SOULS, and RESTORES PEOPLE who desperately need HIM! As Christians we MUST look beyond ourselves, STOP following dry platitudes that have no power, and LET the HOLY SPIRIT into Your Heart after accepting Jesus as SAVIOR!

Is there enough shaking yet? Do ANY of you realize what is at stake if we fail to point people to the TRUTH we have as Believers in the Salvation by GRACE and through FAITH in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on Calvary? Do we not care if people go to Hell for eternity? Do any of us? I wouldn’t be writing this or putting it up on social media that may or may not allow it at some point, but I WILL have it up on my website.

The Meaning Of My Goodreads 5-Star Book Reviews 09/27/17

I wanted to do a blog post concerning my recent 5-Star ratings on Goodreads for  several dozens of the books I’ve read. I only have 3 complete word reviews with the stars done but will complete the others too. ALL of these books I’ve reviewed at Goodreads and Amazon have 5 stars because I have my own ranking system. Others may think I’m being ‘dumb’ with my judgments, but I base it on if I truly enjoy a novel’s storyline, love the characters, and am emotionally involved to a point I’d read that book again. There may be things I don’t like about a book, but if it evokes a positive or intellectual reaction, has proper grammar, and contains some pithy dialogue then I believe it’s worth a higher 5 star rating considering how awful some novels are in those areas presently.

I plan to search again through my purchases to make sure I put up what I think are the best to read for those who want imagination-engaging backgrounds, cool intricate characters, dialogue that transports you, and a woven tapestry of action, romance, and faith in others that transcends our lives to help us to become better people. There are only a couple of books I’ve read that I refuse to rank at all since they didn’t even deserve a negative review. I read several genres but specifically secular Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Historical Romance, and Supernatural Romance as well as Christian Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi, and Suspense Romance. Regardless of genre, I don’t like excessive “bad” language or lack of character development.

I don’t have a literature or writing degree, but I’ve been reading for over 30 years and know what I like or love and why. If you don’t agree with my assessments of the books, that’s okay. Since I’ve also done proofreading for a couple businesses, it’s wonderful to read books that have few typos or grammatical errors, so that’s another aspect I look for in my suggestions. The books I choose are mostly due to how they make me feel, think, question, or learn. No book is perfect though. I’ve found a few typos and wrong words in many, and even my novel in editing after other proofer-readers. No person is perfect either. If a story captures your heart and imagination then a few mistakes won’t make a difference just like the flaws each person has doesn’t stop another person from loving him or her.

It’s a matter of perception, mentality, and psychological preferences, so not every reader will like my reviews or the books I love.  For those of you who are more like me, though, you’ll love many. Check out my Goodreads 5-stars and enjoy!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY from Tonja Condray Klein & Eirinth!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL FATHERS! My father would have been 104-years-old this year if he’d lived. I hope everyone who has a living father will celebrate with him if at all possible. We’re going to spend the day with Ken’s Dad and are thankful we still have him since he turned 90-years-old last year. YAY!!!

As for Eirinth, I posted the possible cover for Book 2 on a Linked-In article then on Facebook. I’d really appreciate input. I’m working on the story itself and hope to have TREADING THE PATH done ASAP. I’m asking people to check out Book 1 as I continue with this story that has 7 books named and in process.

The main storyline has been laid out through Book 4 now, but as I do continue to write it, make notes, and integrate several sub-plots within the current plot-line, I know this will become a series that those who love Fantasy with the visual touch of Anime will love this story and want more and more as it develops.

Thanks to all who have supported, inspired, and even challenged me to make Eirinth become the best if can ever be. This multi-media project is not one or even a series of books alone; it is a portal into another dimensional world that can change our world here on Earth if we have the real courage to let it.

This is NOT a “religious” book, but it has inspirational Faith. The characters are supposed to encourage the younger generations to NOT give up but go for their dreams that can change their lives and those around them for the better if they will only choose to believe in more than themselves for strength to do it.

READ the book sample on eirinth.com. LISTEN to the songs on CD-Baby under Tonja Klein. Then buy the E-Book or Paperback to finish the first part of your journey into a world like ours but filled with fighters using gifts of pure energy or linked-elements from the Creator to fight evil demons to save mortals.

Isn’t there something that is worth fighting for in your world that you want to read about with others relating to your own trials and problems but finding a way to ignore things trying to keep them in shackles when they need to break free to save all those they can from enemies that want to kill them all?

ARE YOU DARING ENOUGH TO TRAVERSE TO EIRINTH FOR A WHILE?

02/12/17= Elemental Fighting Against Demons

One of the things I want to make obvious to most possible readers is that Bengosha have Energy fighting gifts given through prayer after they are called in dreams, but Kouken are born with an inherent gift that occurs when the Element chooses him or her by the Will of the Father of Lights through the Pact of Tenrai Daystar. Two different groups with two different types of gifts to fight against demons.

I wanted to focus on the Kouken this time. The elements of Fire, Wind, Wave (water), and Geo (earth on our planet) all serve the Father of Lights, the Almighty God of the Universe that is known as “Let There Be” in Eirinth. One page on this website about gifts also explains that in addition to a fighting symbiosis between wielder and element is a spiritual gift to the wielder associated with what image the element is visually. These spiritual gifts are based upon those from 1 Corinthians 12 yet have been made to fall in line with the medieval and otherworldly aspects of Eirinth.

There are some Christians that believe ALL fiction is wrong, as stated in a previous post of mine. I find that to be an outrageous claim since Jesus told parables (stories) to get across spiritual truth in His time. Though Eirinth is not Earth, there are still MANY aspects that people here deal with every single day that those in Eirinth face that are also relevant and can bring Light in our world from theirs.

Before you judge this book, why don’t you actually read beyond the first two chapters! World-building is NOT easy, and Fantasy is NOT quick either when it comes to setting up the place and characters. After reading so many Fantasy novels and seeing so many Anime series, I think BREAKING is right in line and pace with those I love. I’m NOT perfect in my writing, but I try to tell the story to the best of my ability without leaving out the complicated weaving of this world, their history, these characters, or the plot that is ongoing. This is BOOK 1 of a series, not a standalone Novel.

My point? I’m asking readers to be brave. I’m asking readers to be patient. I’m asking readers to be imaginative. I’m asking readers to be more than you may think you are capable of right now. Take this book as a CHALLENGE! Fall into Eirinth and find something that may be missing here on Earth…for now. Get some of that sweet tea, find that comfy spot, and traverse dimensions with me! ~ TCK ~

02/07/17 = Carissa Is Waiting For You…

CHARACTER section reconfigured for easier navigation AND updated with more characters from Book 1! Other characters for Book 2 so far will also be added soon as a section. When doing the character descriptions for traditional publisher submissions, I was told to make the “Main” characters only be 5 or so at the most. As you can see, I have MORE. I still stand by my perception of how many can be seen as “Main” when it comes to the Fantasy Genre, especially when considering multi-media possibilities like video games! I’ve listened/read explanations of why as being because most people CAN’T process more characters efficiently. Really? Has anyone been to a Japanese Anime Convention? Come on! So many characters and MOST have no problem telling them apart. I understand that JUST reading can make it more difficult to follow tons of characters if you can’t see them. That’s the reason for me commissioning the artwork for the characters to help the readers that maybe can’t, but those that read FANTASY normally deal with the complexity of the background, story, characters, and even the fighting aspects. I question if traditional publishers can fathom the upcoming readers that are seeking more than just words. I want to give them stories they can SEE if at all possible. Look at the lovely Carissa in this post and tell me that she doesn’t look like the former queen in medieval times that you would dare to question Sir Lew being interested in her after seeing them both then allowing your imagination to paint the lovely picture of restoration for them. My artist Sara Sweitzer created the beautiful visual representation of King Avidan’s mother! Don’t you want to read about her? ~ TCK ~ 

02/05/17 = When Fantasy Helps With Reality…

One of the things I’ve learned in my almost 45 years in this world is that sometimes your mind needs to be relieved from the stress of life in order to get you through the mess of it. One of the main purposes of Fantasy or Science Fiction is to see situations in different settings that can translate into your reality in a contrasting way to help you see things more clearly in your own life. As a Christian, reading the Bible helps with spiritual problems and even worldly ones, but some think any fiction is evil. When it comes to some of the stories I’ve read over the years, I’d have to agree it can be, but only for those that have no redeeming value. That’s my main point – stories that have that redeeming value can be used for the positive effects for the readers! Although I choose to write this series with a background of my Christian faith behind it, I’ve also tried to not have it be demeaning or preachy. There are a few hard places in this story that some may see as one of those things, but I’d like to remind the readers that this story is in differing character POV’s (Points Of View). These are to show the mindset of a character in that scene. For the last 30 years of my life, I’ve read some of the best Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Romances that helped to shape my own writing. Whether 1, 2, or many POV’s like often used in Fantasy, for me the differing POV’s seem to give more depth to the story and character progressions. I’m hoping that some of you who have read either the website Sample of the Book, the E-Book, or the Paperback itself will now take the time to give a review for it on Amazon that is honest but not nasty or overly flattering either. I know that I’m not a perfect writer and may not even be liked by many. I also know that if you’re one of those I wrote this Novel for then you will not only like it, you will LOVE one or more character and the story that can lighten your load on Earth. THANK YOU & HAPPY READING! ~ TCK ~
