When God does, a villain takes his place!
In the distant future, the wealthy villain Abraham Goldstein funds a top-secret project to travel to heaven and meet God. Upon reaching heaven he finds out that God is dead. He also finds the technology necessary to take gods place and become a god in the eyes of men.
Many years later Abraham and his angels, a group of genetically engineered super soldiers, rule Eden; a world created to simulate the Holy Land during the Bronze Age. They rule with terror and fear following the ancient laws.
One day, an accident turns Abraham’s closest angel Lucifer against him, an event that plants the seed of Abraham’s destruction. Meanwhile, an ancient force is conspiring in the background to make its return to our world.

Jack Brown started the Divine Detector particle accelerator, and immediately Abraham Goldstein could feel that his consciousness left his body. He was travelling through space at speed faster than light. Abraham could see how he was passing by the photons which light consists of. In a glimpse, he crashed down in an open courtyard.

In the reflection of the pond, he could see the Goldstein Tower below as if he was on a floating structure high up in the sky. Abraham almost got entirely paralysed by the fascination of watching his creation from this new angle, but he snapped out of it. He was here with a purpose; to meet God. Abraham saw a big gate at the end of the courtyard, and his gut feeling told him it was the right way. He walked through the gate, and he entered a throne room. At the far end of it was a golden throne full of gemstones. It reflected the sunlight more intensely than Abraham had ever seen before. After marvelling at its beauty for a while, he looked below the throne. There was a dead man in robes lying on the ground; face down. Abraham approached the lifeless body and turned it around. He looked at it in awe. The corpse belonged to Yahweh the god of his people, the god of his dreams. But Yahweh was dead? How could this be?
After the initial shock, he knew that he would have to find a reason behind all of this for the sanity of his mind. He started searching the clothes of the dead deity, and he managed to find a letter. Although it was written in ancient letters and an ancient language he could not comprehend, Abraham instinctively understood the meaning of the message. The letter said;
