THE FUTURE WORLD DESCRIBED BY DANIEL

THE FUTURE WORLD DESCRIBED BY DANIEL [Daniel Chapter 2]


Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which he was unable to cipher,
A statue with a head made of fine gold, with chest and arms of silver.
Belly and thighs of bronze and legs of iron displayed,
Its feet combined of iron and clay had Nebuchadnezzar amazed.


A mighty rock smashed the statue’s feet causing it to sway
And after shattering it to bits the wind blew the bits away.
The rock covered the earth and Nebuchadnezzar awoke
He pondered on this dream and his thoughts were provoked.


Magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers were consulted.
But all scratched their heads and Nebuchadnezzar felt insulted.
Because the meaning of this dream was beyond their imagination
And Nebuchadnezzar felt mad and ordered their execution.


But Daniel a captive from Judah offered an explanation,
That brought Nebuchadnezzar great jubilation.
Daniel said that Nebuchadnezzar was the head of gold
His kingdom was strong and he would be bold.


But after his kingdom had reached its end.
An inferior one would rule again.
And yet another would rise after the second had fallen.
A kingdom of bronze would be the third to have risen.


Following that kingdom, there would be a fourth, strong as iron,
That kingdom would crush previous empires.
It would be divided however as clay and iron cannot mix,
But the kingdom of God would rise in its midst.


The kingdom of God will be as solid as a rock.
No one can crush it, whoever tries will be out of luck.
The dream was true and its meaning was certain.
The kingdom of God would stand forever unending”


The above is a poem I wrote in my memoir, "Your Time is Now: A Time to be born and a Time to die.

My Review of the year 2016

On looking back at the year 2016, I have realized that I never achieved my original goals. However, things turned out much better for me.
I had expected to give up writing and continue to travel the world. My husband and I had planned to join my sister and her husband in their annual travels.
London, Scotland, and Amsterdam were the intended destinations. My husband fell ill, and plans were cancelled. My sister, her husband, and family travelled to those places as scheduled and I was disappointed.
I did not sit at home idly, however. I revised some of my books,changed the covers, and published them on other platforms like Nook, Kobo, Apple, Page Foundry, Scribd, 24 Symbols, and Tolino.
I even won an award from Metamorph Publishing for my memoir, 'A Life as a Banker" A Life worth Living.' It was voted second in the Category Bio/Memoirs in the Metamorph Publishing Summer Indie Book Awards 2016.
Two other books were nominated by my fans for those awards.
They are 'Retirement is Fun: A new Chapter, and 'Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy."

In early January I had suddenly got an idea after reading the daily newspapers and proceeded to write a new Series.

I wrote the following:
Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka and the Zombies published February 2016.
Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka’s Child published in March 2016.
Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka Returns published in April 2016.

I never expected them to be such a success, but the reviews were very good.
I combined those three books into one – Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy and sent it to Readers Favorite International for a free review.
To my surprise, the book received a five-star review and a five- star seal on September 10th 2016.

Here is the review
Reviewed by Faridah Nassozi for Readers' Favorite Five Stars

“In Revenge of Zeeka by Brenda Mohammed, the island of Gosh is under attack by an army of zombies under the command of a vengeful science genius. In the year 2016, the Zika virus broke out in Central and South America with life-threatening effects for pregnant women. Given a choice to save the mothers or the unborn babies, a decision was made to save the mothers. The tiny stillborns were securely and secretly buried.
Only a few people knew of this. Unknown to everyone, however, a certain scientist managed to get hold of all 51 bodies, bring them back to life, and condition them to follow his command, creating himself a perfect army of zombies. Now, twenty years later, the evil scientist seeks revenge on those he holds responsible for the stillbirths. Only three of the current doctors at Central Hospital - Raynor, Mark, and George - witnessed the unfortunate events of 2016. The three have strong suspicions about who might be controlling the zombies. Meanwhile, Zeeka is lying in wait for the perfect time to unleash his army onto the island. Zeeka has big, evil plans and this is just the beginning. In a desperate search for answers, and with very little to go on, the doctors search for the elusive Master Zeeka.
Will they save the islanders from Zeeka and his zombies, or will it be too late?

Revenge of Zeeka, by Brenda Mohammed, is a one of a kind novella trilogy that delivers an incredible story guaranteed to give readers an absolute sci-fi treat. I especially liked how Brenda used current events as the pivotal point from which to build this amazing sci-fi horror. This made the story even more relatable.
More importantly, however, I admired how she owned her story and created this captivating version of events. She captured with amazing depth the setting, characters, plot, and emotions in such few words. If you are looking for a thrilling short read, this fast-paced, sci-fi action novella will give you the time of your life.”

This review gave me encouragement to finish writing the fourth book in the series ‘Zeeka’s Ghost’. I had started it in June 2016 but was unable to finish it. I eventually completed it and released it on 9th October 2016.

ZEEKA'S GHOST has also been receiving favorable reviews.
My husband's health improved and we visited my daughter and her family in Miami in July 2016, and spent a wonderful week with them in Orlando at the fabulous Reunion Resort.
I did not achieve my original goals for 2016, but it turned out to be an incredible year so far. It was indeed a productive and successful year.

My Inspiration for Writing Fiction

I started writing and publishing my books in the year 2013.
I wrote seven memoirs and two books of short stories, which were fiction. I tried my hand at Fiction because of something that my brother said to me in one of his letters prior to his death.
He wrote in reference to my book, ‘A Life Worth Living,”

“Your book makes very pleasant reading, and your literary expression is superb and easy to follow. You have an excellent talent, and I think you should follow up on a leisurely basis with perhaps publishing a book of short stories. With fiction, you will have greater opportunity to use your imagination and your undoubted descriptive ability. You used the word “fantasize” to create a situation. This is an outstanding quality, which you should continue to use because it is imagination, which disposes of everything, coming from within. It creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.”

I took my brother’s advice in the year 2014 and wrote, ‘Heart-Warming Tales,’ and ‘Stories People Love.’ Both books got five-star reviews from a few people but I still felt that I needed to write some more exciting stories.

In 2015, I stopped writing altogether. I was even thinking of giving up writing completely. However, in January 2016, one of my Facebook Author friends invited me to an event. I had lots of fun with other authors at that event. The next day an author messaged me and asked me about my books, and what was I writing at that time. I told him that I had stopped writing and did not intend to write anymore. He told me that I should not stop writing and maybe I just had writer’s block. He was very encouraging, and that night I thought it over.
The next day an idea came to me after reading the newspapers about the spread of the zika virus. That was the day the Zeeka science fiction series were born.

Writing those books is no indication of my insensitivity to people who contracted or may contract that disease. My works are pure fiction in a world that does not exist.
There is a bit of romance in the stories, but nothing steamy.

In May 2016, I combined the first three books in the series,
Zeeka and the Zombies [ Feb 2016], Zeeka’s Child [ March 2016], and Zeeka Returns [April 2016] into one book, Revenge of Zeeka: Horror Trilogy.

Revenge of Zeeka;Horror Trilogy received a five-star review and five-star seal from Readers Favorite International in September 2016.
That gave me more encouragement to keep on writing fiction.

The fourth book, Zeeka’s Ghost was released on 9th October 2016 and has received two five-star reviews to date.

All five books were published in the year 2016.
The books are not long and are quick reads. I am working on the 5th book in the series at the moment, but I have not yet named it.
All books are available at Amazon
Revenge of Zeeka: Zeeka and the Zombies is PermaFree on Amazon, Nook, Kobo, Apple, Page Foundry, Scribd, and 24 Symbols.
