The Final Prophet (Messiah Chronicles) Paperback ? by Theodore J. Nottingham

Part-way through the next century, in an age of global unification, a man appears out of nowhere with extraordinary powers and a radical wisdom that electrifies some and horrifies others. An old professor first discovers the prophecy of his coming. He is the herald of the age of transition — the great Tribulation foretold in all cultures for centuries. He must speak to the world before it plunges into chaos. But great forces are against him, especially those of the religious world. His message is universal and critical for the evolution of humanity.
