John Paul Heil presents an original analysis of the theme of worship in the book of Revelation guided by a new illustration of its comprehensive chiastic structure. The worship that Revelation exhorts and enables is in the divine Spirit of prophetic witness against all forms of idolatrous worship on earth in favor of a true, heavenly, and universal worship of the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb, for an eternal and heavenly life. The audience begins this worship in the eucharistic supper into which Revelation leads them by inviting them to respond to the promise of Jesus, "Yes, I am coming soon," with "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!" They thereby affirm and welcome the coming of the Lord Jesus, the exalted sacrificial Lamb, to the eucharistic supper that anticipates his final coming and the divine grace, the gift of eternal life, of the Lord Jesus that is intended to be the destiny of all--"The grace of the Lord Jesus with all!
Christians who take the Bible seriously dare not ignore this message. Paul Nyquist writes like an Old Testament prophet in modern America . . . ” — Leith Anderson, president, National Association of Evangelicals | Washington, DC “Paul Nyquist brings a biblical focus and discerning look at why justice matters and how we might worktoward it.”- Ed Stetzer, Billy Graham Chair | Wheaton College “… [Explains] why justice often eludes us in this life, but also how we must work to achieve it as best we can.”— Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, pastor emeritus, The Moody Church | Chicago Why is justice so hard to come by? The innocent are convicted. The guilty get away. The scales tip toward the powerful, while the weak remain oppressed. If our world is so sophisticated, why is there so much injustice? What can believers do? Can we ever expect justice? Dr. Paul Nyquist, former president of Moody Bible Institute, addresses these questions and more in his new book, Is Justice Possible? In four parts he considers: Biblical and theological foundations of justice Obstacles to justice in human society Practical steps for pursuing justice in political, personal, and public arenas The hope of true justice upon Christ’s return As police shootings and wrongful incarcerations raise increasing questions in the minds of Christians, Is Justice Possible? will seek to provide answers and establish biblical expectations. At its core, this is a book about an attribute of God. Rather than rely on our own ideas of justice, we must look to the One who made us and embodies justice perfectly. Only then can we pursue justice in purposeful, effective, eternal ways.
What happens to us when we die? Will heaven be a place of fluffy clouds, angels and cherubs playing harps? Is the Christian faith just about securing a place in heaven when we die? In What on Earth is Heaven? James Paul explores the radical truth of what the Bible says about heaven and the afterlife, and its relevance for your life here and now on earth. Unpacking the biblical story of the separation and reunion of heaven and earth, he shows that heaven isn't a place somewhere 'out there' but a dimension of reality - the dimension where God's will is done. The Good News isn't that we get to escape to heaven, but that God invites us to be a part of his plan to bring the kingdom of heaven to our square inch of the earth. Insightful and accessible, What on Earth is Heaven? is a book for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the Bible's teaching on heaven, or anyone who has wondered about the true meaning of finding heaven on earth. Life-affirming and uplifting, this book will fire your imagination as to how you can be a part of bringing heaven to the world around you.
Welcome to my book, The Nazarene. May Yahuah give us all eyes to see the Truth, the ears to hear what the stars proclaim day after day, night after night, and the mind to overcome 2,000 years of the Lying Pen of the Scribes. Today we are faced with the traditions/doctrines passed down generation after generation that are “nothing but lies, false gods, and things of no profit”. In this book, I am going to overcome these lies. I am going to show the proper meaning and intent of Scripture by correcting the mistranslations and demonstrate the meaning in context. I will portray The Nazarene in proper context of The Heavenly Scroll, within the proper relationship to his Father, and lay out his life as a human being. I will show that Yahusha came to show us The Way whereby we all can achieve the Fullness of Deity in our bodies, Fulfill The Law, and defeat death. That “Way” is Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering on Passover. While these Hebrew Roots teachers claim to have ‘come out of Babylon’ they remain knee deep in it. These “teachers” are self-appointed and remain Hellenized… They all have denied The Creator’s Witness of Yahusha written in the stars at creation called The Heavenly Scroll. Instead of teaching the Truth, that Yahusha was given Glory with Yahuah at Creation, written in The Heavenly Scroll, where The Branch is foretold as a “Lamb that would be slaughtered”; they teach us that Yahusha pre-existed and was co-creator. These men who claim to understand the Scriptures, have denied the very source of inspiration of all the Prophets, as they all to a man, were Witnessing the coming of the Branch, Orion, in The Heavenly Scroll. We have twisted the Scriptures to serve our own blasphemous purposes to tickle the ears of the people who want a demi-god in the image of all pagan religions. Much like when the Israelites rejected Yahuah as their King and demanded a human King like all the pagan nations. We have adopted “the way of the pagans” in the most fundamental pagan doctrine of all! Incarnation. Yahusha the Nazarene was rejected 2,000 years ago, betrayed by everyone he knew, beaten to the edge of death, and then nailed to a tree. He has suffered no less over the past 2,000 years, as we have falsely accused Yahusha the Nazarene of being “God in the flesh” and used his image to idolize a ‘man who died’ as God in our hearts! In Yahusha’s name we are taught to blaspheme our Creator, deny the Set Apart Ruach, and commit the unpardonable sin! We have created in our own minds, an image of a demi-god we say was ‘Yahuah in the flesh’ making Yahuah out to be a liar, forcing the Creator to be conformed to our own human image (instead being conformed to His Divine Image), and we deny The Creator’s (Yahuah’s) immortality teaching that He came to Earth as a man and died (that is a pagan myth originating in Babylon). Scripture openly declares that Yahusha is NOT ‘Yahuah, who came in the flesh’. I will explain exactly what “according to the flesh” means in this book and prove Yahuah would not, could not, ever “come in the flesh”. Instead of Yahusha, we are taught “Yahuah came in the flesh” which is The Spirit of the False Messiah. We have twisted the Scriptures to serve our own blasphemous purposes to tickle the ears of the people who want a demi-god in the image of all pagan religions. Much like when the Israelites rejected Yahuah as their King and demanded a human King like all the pagan nations. We have adopted “the way of the pagans” in the most fundamental pagan doctrine of all! Incarnation. Our translators cater to the whims of the people and continue to force feed humanity false translations knowingly! Scholars have proven these translations to be in error, proven the Name of Yahuah was removed, proven the name of the Messiah has been replaced by the name of the False Messiah. Textual Critics The Nazarene 3 have known for hundreds of years that the Greeks twisted the Scriptures and where they are in error. Scholars now openly admit that the Apostle Sha’ul’s writings were twisted even further by the “Reformers” into what we call The Pauline Doctrine. The Pauline Doctrine is a mistranslated, Greek appropriate, sound bite driven implied LIE! It is 100% contrary to what Sha’ul taught as a “Leader of the Nazarenes”. Yet today, these self-appointed teachers do not have the anointing to correct Sha’ul’s work even going so far as to commit false witness against Sha’ul, blaming him for what the ‘Greeks’ have done, as if Sha’ul is the author of The Pauline Doctrine. In doing so, they have taken one of the most inspired, anointed, and qualified teachers of the Nazarenes from us! I will show us what it means to be Nazarene, what they believed and what Yahchanan, Yahusha, Yaakov and Sha’ul taught that continued to be believed for 500 years before the Nazarenes were driven underground by Christians and Hellenized Jews. I will prove that not one of them accepted The Virgin Birth, they rejected Incarnation, they taught Yahusha was Adopted upon his Mikveh (just like we are), they kept the ‘intent’ of The Law, not the letter, they followed the ancient Enochian Path; and they knew that Yahusha Fulfilled The Law through Mikveh (he was NOT a “Living Torah”). Yahusha was the Fulfillment of the Debar (Predestined ‘Plan’ written in The Heavenly Scroll) not the Logos (Word made flesh). These issues are at the very foundation of The Yahushaic Covenant. The teachers in the Hebrew Roots movement show a total disconnect from who The Nazarenes were, what they taught, and what the Nazarene’s believed! Overall these teachers today in the Hebrew Roots and Messianic Movements show very little Spiritual anointing to even teach. Yet, they “appear” as worthy teachers to the masses, unless you truly understand what they teach.
No book has ever attempted to deal with the subject of divinity in its entirety. Here at long last is a comprehensive book dealing with divine beings in its complexity. It provides the reader with accurate and insightful knowledge concerning the concept of divinity. The author gives a clear explanation of the Triune nature of God. God is one being, manifest and existing in three distinct identities or persons, which is further discussed as being comparable with the makeup of a human being. God shares his divine nature with spiritual beings in the heavens with angels and on earth with humankind. The divine nature of God resides in all spirits. Therefore, men have Gods nature in their spirits; they can communicate with and receive the things of the spiritual realm. Through sin, humanity has lost the nature of God; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The purpose of the Bible is to spiritualize humankind, because we have fallen short of the glory of God. The broad focus of this book is to bring as many believers to a stage of maturity in the knowledge of Christ.

Scholars have long puzzled over the imagery focused on Moses in 2 Corinthians 3; it is unclear how that imagery fits into the larger context of the letter. Many have explained the imagery as the apostle’s reaction to the “super-apostles,” Jewish missionaries mentioned later in the letter. These preachers, it has been argued, promoted either a θεῖος ἀνήρ or a Judaizing agenda. In Moses in Corinth, Paul B. Duff contends that the Moses imagery has nothing to do with the super-apostles but functions instead as an integral part of Paul’s first apologia sent to Corinth. This apologia, found in 2 Cor 2:14-7:4, represents an independent letter sent to dispel suspicions about the apostle’s honesty, integrity, and poor physical appearance.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and all sorts of mysteries attaching to them, have intrigued people since the second century BCE. Why were these particular creations chosen and when? And why did the ancients want to draw up such a list in the first place? What were the technical and cultural factors involved in the creation and listing of the Wonders? The Seven Wonders still rival many of the phenomenal products of both nature and mankind in their size, majesty, and beauty. Six of them no longer stand, having been destroyed by natural disaster or by human intervention. From the Pyramids at Giza to the Colossus of Rhodes, from the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, from the Temple of Ephesus to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have never ceased to fascinate down the ages.
What is the meaning of life? Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? These questions have been asked and answered thousands of times before, but would you like to know what God thinks of you from His perspective? Many of us attend church and have been taught Christian doctrine, but institutionalized religion cannot teach us Gods truth from His perspective. Sadly, nor can it, because religion is concerned with what man must do to get right with God. We have all been taught the truth, but perhaps not the whole truth. The salvation message we have been taught is just a small starting point along this exciting journey. Now is the time to discover the primary reason you are on earth as sojourners: to occupy earth with the atmosphere of heaven. This book does not teach new ways to become who you want to be or self-realization techniques. However, it shows you who you already are from Gods perspective. You were created on purpose for a purpose, but we have all forgotten who we are. Deep down, you know you are good, yet God created you even better than good. This journey of self-discovery is unlike anything you have read before. You will never look at yourself in the mirror the same way again. The truth is already in you, but will you believe it? You just need help remembering. Regenesis is about newness when all things become new again through truth, change and oneness.
Quests of the Dragon and Bird Clan" examines how the seafaring trading people known as the "Nusantao" from Insular Southeast Asia influenced world history. This is a "blook," a book based on a weblog (blog). The decision to publish the book came after requests to make the information in the blog available in an easier-to-read and more portable format. The advantage of the printed work is that the blog entries are arranged in easy-to-manage chronological order with out the need for the clicking through the blog archives. The glossary entries are also in alphabetical order for easy look-up, and a word index and table of contents further increase the readiblity of the blog/book. Important supplementary articles have also been included in the appendices. A must-read for those who think there is more to history than what we find in "mainstream" publications.
Hermann L. Strack and Paul Billerbeck's Commentary on the New Testament from the Talmud and Midrash is an important reference work for illustrating the concepts, theological background, and cultural assumptions of the New Testament. The commentary walks through each New Testament book verse by verse, referencing potentially illuminating passages from the Talmud and Midrash and providing easy access to the rich textual world of rabbinic material. Volume 1 comments on the Gospel of Matthew. Originally published between 1922 and 1928 as Kommentar zum Neuen Testament aus Talmud und Midrasch, Strack and Billerbeck's commentary has been unavailable in English until now.
Since the Garden of Eden, God has desired a people with whom He can have complete fellowship. Now, seeds of spiritual destiny are germinating in the hearts of believers throughout the earth, to know Him and to do exploits for His glory. Book jacket.
Mole finds himself drawn into a battle between good and evil in which all the powers of the world seem to gather around him and around the lost Great Sword.
This book addresses the historical-critical agenda of Ezekiel and includes newer approaches and questions, such as psychological issues and the notion that Ezekiel should be regarded as a "character" within the book.
The role of the spirit in the eschatological ethics of revelation was a topic that has given me great joy to learn the book of Revelation the role of the spirit, eschatological and ethics. In this book, I have discovered the plan of salvation, which was laid before the foundation of the world in a very clear manner. God, the master of the universe, revealed to John the final story of this worlds history at the Isles of Patmos. The trinity is well-explained and even their duties as the Godhead. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost of which my dissertation is looking at the office or the role of the spirit in the second coming of Christ. From Genesis to Malachi, it is God the Father who revealed himself to mankind, and from Matthew to Acts 1:8, it is God the Son who came in person to reveal God the Father, and from Acts 1:9, to Revelation it is God the Holy Spirit who will teach us all that God the son could not finish teaching us. The script is divided into five chapters, which are the orientation into the book of Revelation, the theology and the ethics of the book Revelation, the eschatology ethics in Revelation, the Holy Spirit in Revelation, and the role of the spirit and eschatology ethics of Revelation, which is the theme of this script. Then we have the conclusion of the script.
With strong application and relevance to contemporary ecclesiological questions, this is an investigation of how understandings of theosis in the Christian Tradition have related to understandings of divine nature in terms of koinonia.
Can anything good come out of suffering? Is there anything purposeful in the grief or pain you may be feeling right now? There are no easy answers to these questions and any attempt at an answer runs the risk of seeming trite or inappropriate to our unique situation. The author of this book has a terminal illness, which has produced in him not only an uncertainty about the future, but a deep sense of compassion for those who are also suffering. The book is his attempt to bring encouragement to those who feel helpless and alone by giving a perspective on affliction that is not ordinarily discussed. The book is not a daily devotional, but a compilation of the blogs he has written over the last three years that have been helpful to many. You may not be walking the path of affliction, but you could give the book a read and pass it on to someone who is on the journey.
Creation Cries Out! is the first book in The Original Revelation series. The 14 books in The Original Revelation clearly define the great deception, the false religion, the false messiah, the true Messiah, the Kingdom of God (Yahuah), and the renewed covenant. In this first book Creation Cries Out! we begin our search for the truth with a journey back to Creation to define the message written in the stars by our Creator Yahuah. We reclaim that message to His Glory. We will take a critical look at the origin of mankind, the fall of the angelic realm, myths of the gods that rules over humanity, myths of giants, myths of vampires, and more to help us understand the world in which our ancient ancestors lived. A world communicated throughout the Ages using Mythology as their means of communication. We'll look at the truth behind the myths. We'll explain the origin of the many "solar messiahs" throughout history, and much more. Creation Cries Out! 3rd Edition - The book of the Mazzaroth, is the most complete book ever written on what the Bible calls the Mazzaroth and what we today call the Zodiac. It is the Heavenly Scroll and source of all the prophets in the Bible. In the Mazzaroth the Plan of Salvation is laid out by the Creator and the Messiah's role is defined. In the Mazzaroth, we find the first prophesies of: - The Sabbath - The Ages of mankind - The first and second comings of the Messiah - The Messiah ben Joseph (suffering servant) - The Messiah ben David (conquering King) - The Fall and Spring Feast Cycles of Yahuah - The Wedding Portrait, the Bride and Bridegroom - The Two Houses of Israel - The source of all pagan kings and "Christs" - The age of individual life (70 years) ... and much more. In this book I explain how Yahuah used the Zodiac to witness the Gospel to all the prophets, Abraham, the Galatians, Sha'ul (Paul the Apostle), and John the revelator. I explain in detail the visions of Ezekiel, Daniel, and John in Revelation and how they were told to "Behold! The Heavenly Scroll" and described the Enoch Zodiac in great detail. I explain how the Mazzaroth/Zodiac is the real meaning behind the English word "heaven". I bring to light many scriptures throughout the Bible that are specifically speaking of the Zodiac/Heavenly Scroll. In this book, difficult concepts are explained in plain English. I address the question "does the Bible condemn the Zodiac, or proclaim it?" What is "divination", what is the difference between a Prophet and a Soothsayer? What is Astrology and is there a righteous example of it? This book is 430 pages of fully illustrated and well defined Truth that has alluded mankind since the creation of man. I explain how the message in the Zodiac has been perverted and the Battle of the Ages between the Truth of the Creator and sun worship comes down to the Zodiac. The false messiah is defined by the corrupted message found in the Zodiac. The True Messiah is the fulfillment of the Original Revelation from Yahuah to all mankind found written in the stars. This book lays the foundation for The Original Revelation Series.
While the Southern Baptist Convention has so often been a step behind on the issue of race since its formation, there was still light shining in the darkness: a group of biblically faithful men and women who both recognized and fought for their racially marginalized brothers and sisters. Chief among these men and women was Thomas Buford Maston. T. B. Maston faithfully engaged the topic as the SBC's preeminent ethicist from 1922-1963 as a professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. This stand ultimately cost him his job. Even still, some sixty years later, his theology and ethics model the full unity in Christ. This book examines the writings of T. B. Maston in his efforts to reform the racially misguided interpretations of Scripture in the church and their subsequent prejudices. Maston is not merely a visionary who foreshadowed the eventual position of the SBC, and more widely, the evangelical church, but is one who directly caused legitimate change. Maston's profound yet humble work gives a blueprint for future racial reconciliation through integration in the church.
Explores the literature of the New Testament of the Bible, highlighting the many messages contained within the text and outlining issues that can be discussed by heralding these messages. Also provides background of the time period and locations in which the New Testament was written.
The content of this book is the Truth inspired by the Almighty God, and will be the most troubling and disturbing, but also rewarding work you have ever read. The Great Tribulation has begun; the great shaking that will break apart the very foundation of the things man believes to be true. Scripture tells us that in the end all things will be revealed. This report is a witness to that fact. So be it. If you are able to finish this work, you will never view the world in the same way, but you will acquire knowledge that will surpass all understanding. I have not published this material for personal gain, but as a witness of the Truth and to reveal to you the knowledge that was hidden since the time of Calvary. The Antichrist Identified The Abomination of Desolation Revealed Satan and the Devil Revealed Mystery Babylon Revealed The Mark of the Beast Revealed The Two Thieves on the Cross Identified The Parables Revealed The Prophesies of Scripture Revealed The Hidden Truths of Scripture Revealed The Armor of God Revealed The Transfiguration Revealed The Book of Genesis Revealed The Book of Jonah Revealed The Book of Daniel Revealed The Book of Revelation Revealed
Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
The first major treatment of skepticism in Islam, this book explores the critical role of skeptical thinking in the development of theology in Islam. It examines the way key thinkers in classical Islam faced perplexing questions about the nature of God and his relation to the world, all the while walking a fine line between belief in God’s message as revealed in the Qur’an, and the power of the mind to discover truths on its own. Skepticism in Classical Islam reveals how doubt was actually an integral part of scholarly life at this time. Skepticism is by no means synonymous with atheism. It is, rather, the admission that one cannot convincingly demonstrate a truth claim with certainty, and Islam’s scholars, like their counterparts elsewhere, acknowledged such impasses, only to be inspired to find new ways to resolve the conundrums they faced. Whilst their conundrums were unique, their admission of the limits of knowledge shares much with other scholarly traditions. Seeking to put Islam on the map of the broader study of the history of scepticism, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of Religion, History and Philosophy.
By looking at history and geography it is clear that many end-time passages from the Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled. Applying the same process to the familiar New Testament end-time passages, Butler shows that most of these prophecies have also been fulfilled.

Rose Guide to End-Times Prophecy is an explanation of end-times prophecy and the Book of Revelation from several Christian viewpoints. Some parts of the Bible, including the Book of Revelation, were written in the apocalyptic style. Apocalyptic Literature is defined as Jewish literature presented in the form of vision that figuratively revealed hidden truths for the purpose of assuring God's people of the goodness of God's plans during times of persecution. Bible prophecy says that Jesus will come again, and Christians have wondered for centuries when and how that would take place. Rose Guide to End-Times Prophecy includes all of the basic end-time prophecy charts Christians need to navigate the Book of Revelation, the Book of Daniel, and other prophetic Bible passages. Includes: Book of Revelation Charts and More than 50 Charts, Diagrams, and Illustrations 4 Approaches to the Book of Revelation: Futurist, Historicist, Idealist, and Preterist Detailed Comparison Chart of 21 Key Passages from the Book of Revelation
Either God’s people believe His promises, or they don’t; either they will hold to God’s promises, or they won’t. In order to believe and hold to those promises, a believer first has to know and understand what those promises are. Isaiah-Steven has taken on that task in this study which searches for a glimpse of the more distant future. It is written that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can conceive what God has in store for us in the more distant future. But nowhere does it say that we are not to search for that understanding. Think on this: if God really does offer mankind substance which fulfills the Hope that every believer holds, wouldn’t He in some way reveal that to us? If we are expected to meditate on that Hope through Faith, praising Him for His abundant goodness, then shouldn’t God reveal those spiritual realities? God, in fact, does share many of those secrets through His Holy Spirit, and they can be found throughout the entire Bible and in plain sight. Those revelations may be considered prophetic in nature, because they speak of something that has not yet occurred. Finding those secrets and understanding those mysteries becomes the start of an exciting journey. That start can be found in Speculations of a More Distant Future.
The J. Paul Getty Museum's antiquities collection contains objects spanning thousands of years, from Preclassical times as far back as the third millennium B.C. through A.D. 600, encompassing Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenaean, Greek, Etruscan, South Italian, Roman, and Romano-Egyptian artifacts. The collection at the Getty Villa includes one of the finest assemblages of ancient Greek vases in the United States; monumental marble sculptures and diminutive bronzes; Greek and Roman gems; and Hellenistic silverware, jewelry, and glass. In lively prose accompanied by full-color photographs of nearly two hundred objects, this handbook presents the most important pieces in the collection.
From the Preface: There are indeed few books in the Bible where the modern student does not need deft guidance if reading is to prove profitable. In the case of the Book of Revelation that need becomes absolutely essential. When the average student takes up this book, almost without exception the going is tough, the language baffling, the sense of profit minimal. This situation represents a curious reversal, for in earlier centuries no other part of Scripture so greatly intrigued the imagination of Christendom or so greatly fascinated its painters and musicians .... The book at hand is designed to restore the Apocalypse to its rightful place in Christian thinking. The title asserts a continuing conviction: John as a prophet actually saw a new earth. The ordinary ways of perceiving reality had been radically altered by his faith in Christ.... Even moderns., in their traffic with Òthe earth,Ó have accessible a greater diversity of visions than they suppose. The ancient prophet may still have power to enable us to see a new earth. Such at least is the premise that prompted the publication of this book.
This volume is an introduction to the three great thinkers of the Russian school of modern Orthodox theology. It includes biographical sketches of the three and examines the creative ideas they devised or adapted, including free theocracy.
A riveting account of current events as foretold in the mysterious Book of Revelation. A series of unparalleled apocalyptic events—predicted in a third of the Bible—is approaching. They will so shake the world that people’s hearts fail them for “fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth” (Luke 21:26). In Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley—host of the syndicated television show The Coming Apocalypse and a popular YouTube show with more than 240 million views—and Pulitzer Prize–nominated investigative journalist Troy Anderson show that signs of the approaching Apocalypse are accelerating exponentially. A catastrophic economic collapse and global conflagration could be next on the prophetic timeline. Then comes the Antichrist, False Prophet, and “mark of the beast” economic system. The authors also explore why the popular transhumanist movement, artificial intelligence, and top-secret government and military programs are linked with prophecies of the last days. Despite its stunning disclosures, Revelation 911 offers hope, comfort, and blessings to help readers navigate this tumultuous time through the power, protection, and provision of the Holy Spirit.
Hear the last gospel of Jesus Christ as the actual voice of Jesus narrates the endtime biblical prophecies to "the faithful witness"=[168 Fred Dello Iacono] through the key of David=[56 knowledge] exactly what the end will be like so that all world can have its eyes opened. This book unseals the bible perfectly beyond mathematically infinity so its dire warnings cannot be refuted by any human. Whoever thought it would be Jesus who woulde be the person who unseals the bible.
The act of martyrdom in the worldview of the Apocalypse has been considered to be an exemplification of non-violent resistance. Paul Middleton argues here, however, that it is in fact a representation of direct participation by Christians, through their martyrdom, in divine violence against those the author of Revelation portrays as God's enemies. Middleton shows that acceptance of martyrdom is to grasp the invitation to participate in the Revelation's divine violence. Martyrs follow the model laid down by the Lamb, who was not only slain, but resurrected, glorified, and who executes judgement. The world created by the Apocalypse encourages readers to conquer the Beast through martyrdom, but also through the experience of resurrection and being appointed judges. In this role, martyrs participate in the judgement of the wicked by sharing the Lamb's power to judge. Different from eschewing violence, the conceptual world of the Apocalypse portrays God, the Lamb, and the martyrs as possessing more power, might, and violent potential than the Emperor and his armies. Middleton believes that martyrdom and violence are necessary components of the worldview of Revelation.
Paul M. Lederach presents the stories and dream-visions of Daniel with wisdom drawn from years of developing curriculum materials and teaching and preaching in the church. He sees in Daniel a persistent call to endurance and loyality to God, even while believers suffer for their faith, pray for deliverance, and speak truth to kings. God’s reign is ever present and moving to fullness in God's own way. Although ruling beasts may rampage for a while, God is sovereign over history and cuts their time short. This Old Testament apocalyptic book interprets ancient history through signs and symbols. It predicts a future in which martyrs are raised to everlasting life and share in the triumph of God’s kingdom, which shall fill the whole earth.
