Erzahlungen Eines Osterreichischen Veteranen V1-2 (1855)

Son of the third generation from India, I was born in South America in Guyana in the county of Berbice and grew up in the village of Canefield Settlement. I had two brothers and one sister from my fatheras first marriage before the death of his wife, after which he married my mother, Shadini, who had already gotten her firstborn son and who bore him nine children including two sisters before expiring at an early age. At about the age of fifteen my father died, and this time coincided with the divine calling and spiritual illumination and baptism of Christ. Having therefore the continual and perpetual spiritual experience and having gained insight into the doctrine and the urge to write, I set about compiling this book, which firstly is, in effect, an attempt to compile the pertinent scriptures and prophecies to the final accomplishment of God in Christ. It is an attempt by virtue of knowledge and experience to explain certain divine teachings of Christathat ultimately the kingdom of heaven exists and that it is now possible to see and enter this divine reality while we are yet alive and not when we are dead. To accomplish this I have quoted widely from the authorized King James version of 1611 and where appropriate from Flavious Josephusa Antiquities.
