About the Series
The War Behind the Wars
The Forgotten Story
Most readers of Scripture have never seen this story told in full. Not because it isn’t there, but because centuries of theological tradition buried it, stripped it of its cosmic dimensions, and reduced it to a tidy morality tale — where humanity is the center. It is into this dilemma that The Ancient Wars restores what was lost.
“This is not speculation. It is the story the biblical authors themselves were telling.”
THE ANCIENT NARRATIVE
The Enmity Emerges
In The Ancient Wars, you will find a multi-volume biblical cosmology and spiritual warfare series that traces the Dragon’s long campaign from its origins before Genesis to its final defeat at the end of the age. Rather than systematic theology, each volume follows the conflict through theological narrative as it unfolds across Scripture and history. The series draws on the ancient Near Eastern background of the Bible, Second Temple Jewish literature, and a wide range of scholarship — including the work of Michael Heiser, Doug Van Dorn, and Timothy Alberino.
The Ancient Wars traces what most never see: the war behind the wars, the enmity behind the empires, the darkness behind the thrones.

THE ANCIENT WARS
FROM CAIN TO CAESAR
The war did not begin in Eden. Long before Cain lifted his hand against Abel, rebellion had already ignited in the unseen realm. In this opening volume, Josiah Sill traces the Dragon’s relentless campaign to stop the promised Seed of Genesis 3:15.
From the first murder through the Watchers’ descent, the tower at Babel, the giants of Canaan, and the rise of empire after empire aimed at a single desperate target: the line that would produce the Messiah. Together, all of this converges into a biblical cosmology narrative that draws on Second Temple Jewish sources, divine council theology, and ancient Near Eastern history to reconstruct the cosmic conflict hidden in plain sight.
From Cain to Caesar, the pattern holds — all of it connected and all of it moving toward the same inevitable collision.

Defeated but not yet bound, the Dragon turns his strategy against the Bride of Christ.

FROM CREATION
TO CAIN
