This Age and the Age to Come: Living Before the Face of God

Dan Raiden

This age is not neutral.And neither are you.

You are being formed — whether you notice it or not — by what you love, what you excuse, what you pursue, and what you refuse to confront.Modern culture tells you that meaning is constructed, morality is flexible, and the future is open to whatever you decide to make of it.Scripture says something far more unsettling:◆ History is moving toward judgment.
◆ Evil will be confronted, not managed.
◆ Every life will be exposed, not curated.
◆ And no one will negotiate with the King when He appears.The question is not whether history is going somewhere.
The question is whether you are aligned with where it is going.

What this book is

This Age and the Age to Come is not an invitation to spiritual curiosity.
It is a summons.It confronts the quiet assumptions of modern life:◆ Autonomy is rebellion rather than freedom
◆ Belief without allegiance is insufficient
◆ Delay is not caution but refusal
◆ Moral neutrality is a myth
◆ That this age is ultimate rather than passing — and therefore worth clinging toThis book traces a single arc:From what is real → to what is wrong → to what God has done → to what God will do → and what that requires of you now.

Why this book exists

If God is real, neutrality is an illusion.
If Christ is King, allegiance is unavoidable.
If judgment is coming, delay is not a safe place to stand.This book exists to bring those realities into the open — not to condemn, but to call.
