The Revelation of Adam is a visionary account in which Adam recounts the events of Genesis to his son Seth — revealing a hidden history unknown to the world. In this telling, Adam struggles against the forces of darkness to remember his true nature and reclaim divine knowledge. The creator wages war for control over his mind and the obedience of his descendants, unleashing flood, fire, and destruction to suppress the righteous. Yet, with the aid of the Almighty, Adam prevails, entrusting Seth with the hidden truth so that he may illuminate the world.
