Download or read book Encrypted written by N. Karl Lawley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-12-07 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did God hide an "Encrypted" prophetic last day's timeline in the Psalms to be revealed at the very end? If so, the discovery of this timeline would be the discovery of the ages! Encrypted takes you on a journey through the Bible and the Psalms to explore the answer to this question and many more. According to the "Encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, 2024 will be the year of the infamous Gog Magog Invasion into Israel, detailed in Ezekiel 38 and 39, and the closing of the "Rapture Season," which we are now in. The year 2025 will be the beginning of the 7-year tribulation period and will see the rise and revelation of the Antichrist. The Jews will return to Israel in 2026 en masse in time for the completion of their new Temple in 2027. In 2028, the year of Israel's 80th birthday, the Antichrist will declare that he is God in the new Temple, and the Remnant of Israel will flee to the "Refuge" prepared for them by the true God who will shelter them for three and a half years until Jesus' return at Armageddon. Skeptical? Once you see the "Encrypted" timeline in the Psalms, you will know that time is extremely short, and there remains a multitude around us who are not yet saved and who will be trapped here to suffer through the worst time in history. Now is the time to fulfill the Great Commission! Furthermore, Daniel 12 tells us that the "sealed-up," or "encrypted," mysteries of Bible prophecy will only be understood by the "wise" in the final generation. We are that final generation spoken of by Daniel. Will we be wise enough to realize that God wants His Church to know about and understand the timing of the days we are living in? Or will we continue to rely on the outdated understandings of generations past? As end-time Bible prophecy becomes more tangible in our day, God has revealed this "Encrypted" sequence of years leading up to and through the fast-approaching tribulation period so that we can prepare and help prepare others for a great final harvest before time runs out. We are now living in Bible times. What will be written about you?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the Old Testament wisdom and its many human experiences, Self-Examination and the Old Testament recreates the mindset of the main personalities dealing with self-examination. It is widely accepted that self-examination is fundamental for sustaining a healthy individual life and for peace in society. For the believer, the words and thoughts of the OT are divinely inspired, providing a spiritual foundation, and the many instances of self-examination in the Old Testament show us how to deal with delving into our own hearts and looking closely at what we find there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened in 2020 is just the beginning of a series of wakeup calls God is sending to mankind regarding the impending tribulations and judgments prophesied about in the Bible which will precede Jesus Christ’s return to Jerusalem. he mysteries of raptures and jubilee cycles (the “seventy sevens” in Daniel 9) have been unsealed. The final seven years of this age, foretold in Daniel 9, will begin in 2025 when the Antichrist will sign a seven-year covenant with Israel. The fourth seal in Revelation 6, predicting massive death by war, violence, pestilence, and famine involving a quarter of the earth, is beginning to open. This book will open your eyes to biblical prophecies to see what has been sealed up until now. Following sound hermeneutic principles, Dr. Poon has decoded all the symbols and metaphors used in the books of Revelation and Daniel so that the events which will happen between now and 2032 have been written in plain language for all to understand. Through a Jewish perspective, he explains how Old Testament prophecies are fulfilled in Revelation, even digging into the original text on certain key words. This is a must-read for our generation.

Download or read book Days of Awe written by Shmuel Yosef Agnon and published by Schocken. This book was released on 1965 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some years ago an Englishwoman, a relative of the then Archbishop of Canterbury, asked S.Y. Agon whether there exists in traditional Judaism anything corresponding in its high drama and inntense power to the old Easter rituals. In response to this challenge - and to his own unceasing quest for style and structure - Agon composed this literary tone poem on the Days of Awe. Taking his materials from the vast storehouse of Hebrew literature of all ages, he ilustrated the procession of the High Holy Days from the period of preparation for the Day of Judgment to the "Closing of the Gates" : profound religious mediation, moving homily, travelers' reports, conversation and memoir, drama and pathos at once simple and majestic. The greatest Hebrew writer of our time studied thousands of texts and drew on 300 of them to compose this anthology of Jewish wisdom. He has arranged them to follow the order of the service of the Holy Days. His own transitional pieces are uncanny in their mastery of tone, and are often indistinguishable from their more venerable companions. "From the moment of its appearance the volume seemed to as though it had always been here, as though it had always been the companion of the Holy Day prayer book," writes Judah Goldin in the new introduction. -- Back cover
Download or read book Lent Yom Kippur and Other Atonement Days written by Amy Hackney Blackwell and published by Infobase Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite their best intentions, people are imperfect and will inevitably make mistakes. They yearn for a chance to start over, to right wrongs, and to create a better future by improving upon the past. Several religious holidays around the world are devoted to this task. These observances allow individuals to reflect on their errors and make amends with those they have wronged. Lent, Yom Kippur, and Other Atonement Days focuses on the observation of Lent in the Christian tradition, the Jewish observance of Yom Kippur, and Vassa, the Buddhist practice also known as the Rains Retreat or Buddhist Lent. The Christian, Jewish, and Buddhist days of atonement vary greatly in beliefs and customs across different regions, but each has the ultimate goal of the practitioners bettering themselves through prayer, humility, and repentance.

Download or read book Inner Rhythms written by DovBer Pinson and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2000 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Jewish Music? What makes a song sound Jewish? What is the place of music in Jewish history and philosophy? The author writes, What is known to us as Jewish music is actually a compilation of styles and rhythms gathered over centuries and obtained in various manners and from countless sources. However, musicologists the world over agree that the purity of the Jewish song has always been retained. The quality which makes it uniquely Jewish, regardless of the influence on it, has remained untouched and clearly identifiable. What is this quality? What is it that makes a song sound Jewish? It is a note of longing, of a child yearning to unite with his parent, a nation pining for its homeland and lost temple, a soul in this world remembering the holiness above and longing to reunite. Each song resonates with the entirety of the Jewish experience, the devastations and victories, the separations and reunifications and above all the constant bound with the eternal. The study of Jewish music is vast and requires volumes to contain it. There are many who have analyzed its unique qualities and have written extensively on it. Their examination of music is essentially a lesson in history, another means of glimpsing a rich and diverse past. There is yet another way to examine a song, and that is, to view it as an eternal message, as relevant today as it was hundreds of years ago, at the time of its composition. Each song tells its own story in the heart of the one who sings it. It evokes a unique response in each listener. A tune can touch a soul, in a way no words ever could. The study of music as response is what I aim to portray in this work. Music can be used in a myriad of ways in our everyday lives. Especially today with all of the gadgets that can convey music, we are bombarded by sound. Just by taking a long walk, a person changes zones of melodies, beats, and compositions of various types. Our bodies seem to vibrate to uninvited songs and noises that permeate the air around us. But invited

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful collection of writings about Yom Kippur that will add spiritual depth and holiness to your experience of the Day of Atonement. As Rosh Hashanah ends and you look ahead to Yom Kippur, what do you think about? The familiar melody of Kol Nidre? The long hours of fasting? The days of self-examination?

Drawn from a variety of sources—ancient, medieval, modern, Jewish and non-Jewish—this selection of readings, prayers and insights explores the opportunities for inspiration and reflection inherent in the themes addressed on the Day of Atonement: sin, forgiveness, repentance, spiritual growth, and being at one with self, family, community and God. These readings enable you to enter into the spirit of Yom Kippur in a personal and powerful way while they uplift and inform. They will add to the benefits of your High Holy Day experience year after year.

Download or read book Judaism For Dummies written by Rabbi Ted Falcon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judaism isn’t a race or even a particular culture or ethnic group. There are about 13 or 14 million Jews spread around the world, including about 6 million in the United States and about 5 million in Israel – so Judaism clearly isn’t “a nation.” So what does it mean to be Jewish? Here are the basics: Being Jewish (being “a Jew”) means you’re a Member of the Tribe (an M-O-T). The tribe started with a couple named Abraham and Sarah about 4,000 years ago, it grew over time, and it’s still here today. You can become part of the Jewish tribe in two ways: By being born to a Jewish mother or joining through a series of rituals (called converting). Judaism is a set of beliefs, practices, and ethics based on the Torah. You can practice Judaism and not be Jewish, and you can be a Jew and not practice Judaism. Whether you're interested in the religion or the spirituality, the culture or the ethnic traditions, Judaism For Dummies explores the full spectrum of Judaism, dipping into the mystical, meditative, and spiritual depth of the faith and the practice. In this warm and welcoming book, you'll find coverage of Orthodox Jews and breakaway denominations Judaism as a daily practice The food and fabric of Judaism Jewish wedding ceremonies Celebrations and holy days 4,000 years of pain, sadness, triumph, and joy Great Jewish thinkers and historical celebrities Jews have long spread out to the corners of the world, so there are significant Jewish communities on many continents.
