This book is the first book written by Omega Ministry, the reason why it is called the "Messenger of Time and Space" series because it was inspired by visions and dreams that I received—entirely from the Heavenly Father.Sometime back in 2012, a prophet named Patricia in Toronto prophesied about writing a book, saying that it would be revealed to the world. However, it wasn't until ten years later that I began writing. “Who Is Battling for Earth—The Clash of Spiritual Warfare” is the first book of the “Messenger of Time and Space” series.I never knew that in another dimension, another time and space, Someone had been watching, observing, protecting, and silently loving me all along, guarding me secretly. My life, which was nothing but a speck of dust among the multitudes, like a drop of water in the ocean—ordinary and unremarkable—became legendary due to Someone's intervention.How our story began – one day my world collided with His, and at a certain point in time, He (God) crossed time

奧利佛．薩克斯以細膩筆法描寫自己年輕時的熱血與迷惘，從愛上重機、公路與鍛鍊身體，到走入加州與紐約醫院，與病患同行、發現未知疾病。他誠實談及家人、愛情、思鄉與學術啟發，也讓我們看見，推動他行動與思索的，其實是同一股不安分的求知熱情。When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: 'Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far'.
