Synopsis

Logline:

Come Home is a light, conversational theology seeking to understand God’s purposes for linking countless nations and clans to Judaism, Israel's “lost tribes”, and/or to Earth’s Great Script. Unlike other interfaith works, Come Home examines messianic types among a variety of nations from the perspective of the Script’s overarching plot. Come Home is loaded with international stories, drawing primarily from Central Asia, where the author lived for 2 decades.

Synopsis #1: Joseph’s multicolored coat, an iconic symbol portrayed in humanity’s Script, symbolizes the multicolored nations which Joseph fed during a global crisis. Since the time of Adam & Eve, God authorized humanity to faithfully multiply and cover the earth. Conversely, they were free to disobey and be scattered to all nations, which unfortunately happened more often than not. Joseph’s descendants were among those dispersed. They became "seed" that spawned diverse religious ideas, ethnic movements, and in some cases, nations. How many nations, religions, and cultures were birthed from Joseph’s tribes? No one knows. Legend reveres Joseph's scattered clans as the fabled Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The Script proclaims that a messianic guide will accompany their return to their original God. Throughout history, a Restorer of Nations has left signs that point "home" within every ethnicity. The Restorer's focus is on celebrating us when we Come Home and weave our “true colors” into his multinational mantle. Delve into these pages to discover how you and your tribe could be an essential thread in heaven’s eternal, royal robe.

Synopsis #2: Come Home is a call for each nation to return to their ancestral God, the Maker of nations. Since the time when God gave Adam and Eve authority over creation and since God told Abraham that his seed wold be a blessing to nations - since then, every nation seems to have their own personalized experience with the Script’s God. Some nations consider themselves one of Israel’s ten lost tribes. Others identify as part of a Jewish diaspora. The fact that so many nations and tribes see themselves with roles in Earth’s great Script is phenomenal. Fittingly, the Script’s Author portrays Himself as the caring Maker of Nations. He made sure His promise to make Abraham’s descendants as numerous as the stars was written in the text. In other words, what our generation is witnessing now among the nations confirms the Script’s ancient plot.
Come Home doesn’t only highlight God’s claim to the nations, but also follows His invisible hand at work among various faiths, even faiths that project hostility toward the Script in one way or another. Ethnic Kyrgyz culture is the primary backdrop for this easy theology. For example, Kyrgyz faith in God as the One who comes to homes in the form of a God-guest is paralleled with Abraham’s reception of God as a guest. Also, a Kyrgyz custom of holding onto the angelic Wanderer until getting the Wanderer’s blessing is set against the Script’s account of Jacob holding onto an angel until receiving the angel’s blessing. Islam’s Quran refers to the Script as the early revelations of Allah. Similarly, faiths, traditions, legends, proverbs, linguistics, names, and genealogies from around the world link people back to humanity’s Script.

Nations also have a messianic banner - something in their cultures that beautifully aligns them with the Script’s Protagonist. For instance, the Wanderer, mentioned earlier, will often ride into a village on a donkey. People who don’t greet him respectfully, lose their happiness. This Kyrgyz belief perfectly matches a scene of the Protagonist found within the Script. Because nations and national faiths are linked to the Good Book and its unforgettable Protagonist, there is no need for individuals to change religions or convert from one religious identity to another.
