This is a combination of commentary on Genesis and Revelation and how they are tied together by the Jubilee Year in the Bible and by the deed to the earth/scroll in Revelations. This book will explain how the plan of God was to free us from the enslavement of Satan through history and how God has always been forthright in revealing his plans for mankind as opposed to a common belief that God has shrouded the history in mysteries. It includes many world history events that are not included in the Bible to pull together a full understanding of the history of mankind from the perspective of God. Included are items from archaeology that verify and validate the Bible as a history. It gives a brief interpretation of the coming years of Revelation from a world perspective. Included are viewpoints from other researchers as well, such as Velikovsky, David Rohl, and George Roux. The intent is to give a variety of sources so that the reader can come to their own conclusions.
This book is the first in a series of books dealing with many very familiar Old Testament Stories and looking beyond the stories and finding the messages that God has for us today. The Bible is a timeless book. And it has had a relevant message for every generation since God's Holy Spirit breathed those words into to ears and minds of the writers of old. "Gleanings from Genesis" deals with the first nineteen stories in this series and I hope that each of them will bring you into a deeper understanding of just how relevant these stories are in your life today. "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) Rev. Anthony Iannucci has been an Ordained Minister for over thirty six years.

Finalist' in the PROSE Award (2022) for Language & Linguistics Awarded Honors at the Storytelling World Awards 2022 Linking the ongoing ecological crisis with contemporary conditions of alienation and disenchantment in modern society, this book investigates the capacity of oral storytelling to reconnect people to the natural world and enchant and renew their experience of nature, place and their own existence in the world. Anthony Nanson offers an in-depth examination of how a diverse ecosystem of oral stories and the dynamics of storytelling as an activity can catalyse different kinds of conversation and motivation, helping us resist the discourse of powerful vested interests. Detailed analysis of traditional, true-life and fictional stories shows how spoken narrative language can imbue landscapes, creatures and experiences with enchantment and mediate between the inner world of consciousness and outer world of ecology and community. A pioneering ecolinguistic and ecocritical study of oral storytelling in the modern world, Storytelling and Ecology offers insight into the ways that sharing stories in each other's embodied presence can open up spaces for transformation in our relationships with the ecological world around us.
My original unedited suppressed prophetic manuscript entitled: What to Expect for 2015 and Beyond concerns you as it constitutes your warning from God about your future. For God always gives a warning before He sends judgment. My written prophecy is NOT politically correct and will certainly disappoint and offend many, as true prophecy always does. Nor is it just a spiritual esoteric eschatology but it includes the hidden issues of the day that God wants known, since they have caused America to sin more. From the global warming deception that has increased unemployment, to the economic fraud of recovery via bailouts, socialist deficits, the American Prosperity Message, the fluoridation of public drinking waters, GMO Foods, high fructose corn syrup, extra terrestrial grey aliens and illegal aliens resulting in earthquakes, pestilences and famines after Obamas demonic deception causes another mean spirited Civil War. Because in Gods judgment, wars come first, then the destruction of America by natural causes.
Born in 1776 in East Anglia near the river Stour, John Constable was destined for his father's business of milling and grain-shipping. But he was obdurately opposed to this and persuaded his family he should become an artist instead. In the same determined spirit, he wooed Maria Bicknell in the teeth of opposition from her formidable grandfather, and persisted in painting landscapes at a time when history paintings and portraits were the fashion. Sometimes sharp and sarcastic, and often depressed, Constable in fact possessed a warm gift for intimate friendship. This is revealed in his letters to John Dunthorne, village handyman and housepainter, and to his best friend and patron, archdeacon John Fisher, to whom he wrote: 'I have a kingdom of my own, both fertile and populous - my landscape and my children'. In recent times, after a period of relative ignominy, Constable's influence on British landscape painting has been re-acknowledged, he has been more widely exhibited and his reputation has been reestablished as one of the masters of his genre. This important and absorbing biography explores his life and work, and highlights the dramatic tension between the two.
A comprehensive, dynamic, and eminently practical presentation of the biblical teaching on salvation. In discussing the facets of the working out of salvation -- the role of the Spirit, union with Christ, the gospel call, regeneration, conversion, repentance, and so on -- Hoekema does away with the classical ordo salutis ("order of salvation") by viewing these facets largely as simultaneous aspects in the process of salvation rather than sequential steps on the way to salvation.
The Bible has many stories, but really there are only two. There is a story of violent humanity, and there is the story of a self-giving, nonviolent God. The question has been how to distinguish the two without creating a toxic dualism. Bartlett shows that the narratives in tension are not two opposed Testaments, even less two metaphysical principles, but the slow separating out of nonviolent revelation from the frame of violent meaning by which human beings have always signified themselves and their gods. In his prior, ground-laying book, Theology Beyond Metaphysics, Bartlett demonstrated the concept of semiotic change and how it emerges as the most appropriate way of understanding and affirming a relational shift in human and theological meaning. In this present work, he supplies a rich seam of biblical evidence with gripping essays on Old Testament books and their evolution of transformative signs and new meaning. Accounts of the life of Jesus and the teaching of Paul make the change exponential, bringing to definitive expression the inbreaking of the nonviolent divine. Signs of Change creates a theological masterstroke, showing step-by-step how semiotic evolution leads human existence to the truly saving knowledge of a nonviolent God.
This book is about the life, journey, and blessings of Abraham and his descendants and how his faith in God carried him through the struggles, pain, and the consequences of his actions. As his life foreshadows the New Testament believer, the life of Jesus the Christ was modeled. In certain sections of the book, revelations and paraphrases are mentioned as it relates to the Christian life. To my beautiful wife of eleven years. I thank you for your encouragement, faith, love, and stability you have given me over the years. When I read about Sarahs life, I see a Proverbs 31 woman in you. You carry the anointing of Sarah in your life as someone I would like to call favored among women. Thank you, and I love you. Its my honor to be your husband! PS: Generational curses will be broken after this in Jesuss name. Amen!
Do you ever think you’re forgetting how to talk about God? Or never learned how? Theology is nothing more—and nothing less—than speaking together about God. Still, a lot of us don’t know where to start. In Speaking of God, pastor and theologian Anthony Siegrist helps readers recover a basic language around Christian theology. The sweeping epic of Scripture serves as the scaffold for this accessible book. In vivid and even humorous writing, Siegrist introduces us to scholars and pilgrims and traditions that disclose essential truths about God and Jesus Christ, as well as concepts like creation, sin, redemption, the church, and discipleship. By plumbing the works of theologians such as Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Antonia Gonzalez, and Kazoh Kitamori, Siegrist offers readers an introduction to Christian theology throughout the ages, emphasizing common threads of thought and practice across traditions. Learning to talk about God requires courage and humility; this handbook of Christian theology will help you gain both. Join the deepest, longest conversation in the world.
Make time for what matters! In todays busy world, people hardly find time to do what makes life worth living. The challenge for all is learning to prioritize in the midst of competing demands on time and other resources. But the man or the woman who has learned to prioritize their life will be more productive, less stressful, can have extra time for vital things in life, such as family, friends, career, God, and ultimately make it to heaven after death. This book is about learning to set your priorities right. It covers a range of important topics. For examples, one of our duties as humans is to know the right season for everything and making that season a priority while keeping a closer eye on other activities in our lives. In this life, there are good things and there are also things that are not good. It is your responsibility, and fundamental duty, to test everything and hold on to that which is good. The world is experiencing unprecedented violence and wickedness. Therefore, there is the need for people to turn from their sins and to begin to love themselves, love other people, and ultimately love God, their creator.
This book is a compilation of History, Science, and Scriptures. Multiple sources of history and science have been pulled together for great validity and accuracy of the information. For Bible accuracy of the First Five Books of Scripture referred to as the Torah, and the Pentateuch, multiple sources have also been utilized for a more complete assessment of Biblical events. Through many years of research and study, the books of Bereshis/Genesis, Shemot/Exodus, VaYikra/Leviticus, Bamidbar/Numbers, and Devarim/Deuteronomy, have been pulled together from the Authorized King James Bible; The Septuagint; The Book of Enoch; The Cabala Talmud; The Book of Yashar; The Orthodox Jewish Bible, and more. The stories in each of these books that discuss the same topics, all of those Scriptures have been brought together for greater clarity and overstanding of the story. In addition, all of the Scriptures from other parts of Scripture within each book that apply to the same topic, have all been compiled into the story. In pulling all of the parts together, the origin of sin is brought to the forefront of Biblical History. To fortify what is revealed in the Scriptures, Science, Paleontology, and Geology, are also incorporated to reinforce what the Scriptures tell us. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has proven that humanity is much older than seven thousand years In the Scriptural presentation of Creation itself, Science has proven that in the Seven Days of Creation, many eons have passed. Science by way of Carbon Testing tells us the Triassic Period: Mesozoic, Jurassic, and Cenozoic Periods occurred hundreds of thousands of years ago. History, Science, and Scripture together synchronize the chronology of the world, and of humanity. This book will be a great addition to your library.
Anthony Hanson here opens up fresh lines of interpretation for the Pauline epistles, and uses these as the approach to a fresh consideration of Paul as exegete and theologian. Focusing on passages, mainly in Romans and Galatians, where the argument is superficially strange, he explores biblical and rabbinic parallels and frequently uncovers an unexpected significance. Drawing out the implications of his detailed studies, Professor Hanson argues that the apostle's method of biblical interpretation can be justified in terms of modern theology and can put us on the road to a right understanding of the relation of the Old Testament to the New.
Applying Norman Gottwald's thesis on Israel's origins, Cereski argues that Israel was formed through a process of social revolution, inspired by the memory of runaway slaves and their worship of a God whose cult mandated radical social equality and justice.
An indispensable, modern-day guide to planning the perfect bar or bat mitzvah, celebrating substance and style There used to be only two approaches to the bar or bat mitzvah party -- a low-key event that reflects the solemnity of this sacred rite of passage or a big bash that has no connection to the religious service. For many, it was an impossible dilemma. Will a big bash trivialize and overshadow the bar or bat mitzvah experience? Will too much spirituality suck the life out of an otherwise fabulous party?

Blending meaningful Jewish elements with high-style contemporary party planning, this inspiring and useful guide will show you how to have the ultimate bar or bat mitzvah -- a profoundly moving service followed by an unforgettable party.

This must-have guide gives advice on the major decisions, the basics of the service, and the party details that really matter. It also features: A complete guide to the Torah, including dates and summaries of the portions and supplementary materials Eight complete, themed parties, including party favors, decorations, and photographs of sample tables A time line to help plan the bar or bat mitzvah up to two years ahead Instructions for being MitzvahChic on a budget Advice on how to include non-Jewish friends and family members in the ceremony A practical guide to all things mitzvah from the Torah to the tablecloth, MitzvahChic will help create a beautiful, powerful, resonant, and unforgettable rite of passage.
Jesus was a Jew. Why are some of us "Catholics"? What is a "Catholic"? How has abuse been allowed to exist within the Catholic Church ever since its inception? Why is any abuse within the Church accepted, tolerated, or even possible? When clergy harm any member of our church family, the entire Church is harmed. When do we become ashamed of "indifference" within our Church and stop being merely "bystanders" to abuses by clergy? No matter the form or the magnitude, abuse is abuse. Through their clerical abuses, clericalism, and lack of authenticity, clergy destroy their credibility as "priests." It is then that members of the laity are compelled to walk away from the Church they deeply love. To continue as a true "Christian" in the religion of one's choice, where does one go? What does one do? As true "Catholics," we are called to deepen our love for God by not being afraid to ask questions or to question our faith. Who do we say God is? What do we believe in? Rick shares personal experiences and witness with brief history points and insight of our Catholic Church, praying to encourage and challenge others to embrace "parresia," an awesome term used by Bergoglio with the conclave prior to being elected as Pope Francis. We are all this beautiful and blessed "assembly" which is our "Church," where everyone should feel welcome and loved; and no one should ever be abused, feel intimidated, ignored, excluded, or afraid. Shalom!
This book was written to address the disappointments people are facing today caused by Ministry faculty members. It is designed to encourage obedience and hope in the midst of betrayal or shame experienced from hypocritical practices or personal attacks by such members. Therefore, this is a faith-building book! Pastor Anthony M Mills, born in Fort Worth, Texas, has been in ministry since 1992. Starting out as an Evangelist while in the United States Air Force, he served in various outreach programs throughout the United States and the Republic of Panama. From jail ministries to Sioux Indian Reservations, he has learned the pain of ministry amongst people who really need hope. His drive in life is to pursue after the development of peace between nationalities of all mankind. Therefore, as he has experienced the peace of God in his life, he may also be used to influence peace in the lives of others.
This book is a culmination of that research. After trashing his work 10 times and starting over, he managed to get a revised chronology that seemed to be more accurate than that being put out by the status quo universities. It combines secular / world history with Biblical history in a far more even and smoother match than that proposed by former historians who have attempted the same. This is his version 12, which doesn’t try to match different histories based on dates, but rather by matching people and events and then applying revised dates to those events and people. This work will call into question the conclusions of historians of the last 200 years, about the ancient periods of time, and provide an alternative dating for those times. It is a World History in that it incorporates the ancient history of India, China, Japan, as well as the traditional Middle Eastern and European societies of ancient times. It re-evaluates the beginnings of civilization and the solar system, refuting common historical and scientific beliefs of the modern world. Documents that have previously been written off as Mythology have been re-evaluated as well, as they give a different perspective of ancient times and what happened back then. The use and creation of calendars is an important feature added to this work which is seldom taken into account by modern histories. Incorporated in this work are many of the more recent archaeological finds that have yet to be incorporated in status quo works and institutions. He makes no apology for the fact that this is Biblically based, and the conclusions that have been reached by this work fit very well in Biblical contexts and adds some understanding to the events that took place in the Biblical narratives.
trans*for*ma*tion NOUN A marked change, of something or someone, usually for the better. Nature provides an amazing example of a transformation. A butterfly's life begins as an egg that becomes a larva. At its appointed time, a caterpillar breaks out and then begins to eat, and eat, and eat. Then the caterpillar spins a thread into a shell-like covering around its body. Inside this cocoon, the caterpillar changes into a pupa. The pupa grows into a beautiful, colorful, and graceful butterfly. People also go through transformations. From conception until death, we go through a series of changes. Once conceived, the life cycle stages begin and progress to produce a newborn baby. The baby grows and becomes a toddler, which then matures into an adolescent. Adulthood follows, and the process continues through mid-life through to old age. This experience is a natural transformation. There is also a spiritual transformation that we all should go through. This alteration involves changing on the inside and revealing it on the outside. You go through a conversion from living a worldly lifestyle to living a Christian life that is pleasing to God. You should desire and seek to achieve this spiritual makeover with all of your might. Many will confess to being a Christian, but are they really like Christ? You can't just name it and claim it. You have to live it. To be a Christian means to be Christ-like. You must learn to live like Christ, to love like Christ, forgive like Christ, even bless like Christ, etc. Some may say that living a Christian life is easier said than done. Why is that so? I think mainly because we have inherently conformed to this world, and this world promotes pretty much everything except Christian living. Sadly, the vast majority of those who call themselves Christians in these last days are as far from Christ as they can possibly be. They think they are living for Jesus with all of their wickedness and false doctrines and evil lifestyles. I believe that people want this transformation but are not too willing to take the necessary steps to make this process change. This change isn't always easy, but it is absolutely obtainable. You may ask, "What is required to live a Christian life?" The answer is in the Holy Bible. Transformation -- Living a Christian Life can be summed up with one Bible verse: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Rom. 12:2). Many have conformed to the ways of the world. They need a renewing of their mind. They need to get back in alignment with the will of God. This book's purpose is to reunite you with God, His Word, and His will for your life, which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Today there is a lot of emphasis on building within Christianity. We speak of building the kingdom and building the church, neither of which are our responsibility. The Father has given us the kingdom and Christ said He would build the church. In the New Testament, the word translated as church is Ekklesia. In the days of Jesus, Ekklesia was not used to define a religious gathering for expressing worship and learning about a deity. The Ekklesia was a governing body in a region that assembled for the purpose of legislating the region, initiating laws and declaring war. It was an assembly of diverse citizenry, who collaborated for the good of the region. When Jesus said, "I will build my Ekklesia," He had something different in mind than what we call the church today. Join us in this book as we seek to find the definition of God's intention and allow the real church to stand up.
You are, exactly what and who you decided to be! Are you where, and who you want to be in life? You cannot change the past, but there is power in knowing that you can change and literally create your future. Your life is a blank canvas just waiting for you to express and paint your future. This book explains from a Christian standpoint what the "Laws of Attraction", "The Secret", "Abraham" and all the other self help books touch on but fail to do. You are here with purpose and design. Your future is not something you sit around and wait for, it's something you go out and get! You have a date with destiny, isn't it time you go out and meet it?
In the Bible, promise and prayer are essential and connected components of the inter-personal relationship between God and his people. And both promise and prayer are kinds of action undertaken by means of speaking, utterances philosophers refer to as speech acts. In the case of promises this is clear: they constitute firm commitments to act in certain ways under appropriate conditions. This book considers biblical examples of divine promise, from both Old and New Testaments. All speech acts depend upon institutional facts, and Thiselton argues that in the biblical writings Divine promises are based on the prior institution of God's covenant. That same covenant forms the institutional context of prayer. Thiselton shows how different kinds of prayer--blessing, thanksgiving and praise, petition and intercession--count as speech acts in different ways and to different degrees.

The goal of this book is to assist busy people in reading the Bible book by book and understanding what it says. The aim is not mere reading for the sake of reading or as a discipline. Reading the Word of God daily is a great habit, but we must realize that it benefits us most if it is understood and applied. This book and the ones that follow seek to challenge believers' assumptions and preconceived notions about what the Bible says. It assists believers in applying scriptural principles to their daily lives and equips them to do the work of God's kingdom in the midst of a sinful, uncaring, and often hostile society and culture.
As a child, Anthony Sampson was haunted by a family skeleton. He knew his grandfather John Sampson had been an authority on the gypsies. They had called him the Rai - the Master - and had flocked to his magnificent funeral on a Welsh mountain. But of his grandfather's private life he was told nothing, nor of the mysterious aunt who joined the family after his death. In fact only sixty years later did the truth begin to emerge. This book follows a trail of clues to uncover an extraordinary hidden life and a gypsy world now disappeared. John Sampson was a brilliant philologist who, happening to encounter a gypsy tribe in North Wales, compiled over thirty years a dictionary of the Romani language that remains the standard work. But he also became a Bohemian himself, a bigamist and the father of a child who was brought up secretly and who would in turn become a remarkable scholar. Using intimate letters, bawdy rhymes and wonderful illustrations- including many by Augustus John who was part of the circle - Anthony Sampson brings to life a group of scholars, writers and painters who escaped Victorian convention to pursue an alternative life in the Welsh hills. The Scholar Gypsy is both a detective story and a moving voyage of discovery. Ranging through finely observed contrasts and connections it illuminates many lesser-known aspects of Victorian and Edwardian Britain and vividly conveys the spell that gypsies cast on the imagination of artists and writers, and the fear that they arouse among the conventional.
