T H U N D E R I N G H O O F B E AT S B R I N G WA R , FAMI N E , A N D P L A G U E The image of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation 6:1–8 is one of the most vivid and powerful in all the writings of the prophets. Their presence speaks of a coming day of horror—the first four judgments of the Tribulation. White, red, black, and pale, they will wreak destruction around the world. Prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock takes an in-depth look at the horsemen and shows how today’s events point toward the prophecy about them. Signs all around us indicate that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse may be ready to mount up and gallop across the earth. “Mark Hitchcock packs a wealth of information on biblical prophecy into an excellent ‘quick read.’ I highly recommend Mark as a faithful guide to understanding current events in light of God’s wonderful plan of prophecy.” —TIM LAHAYE, author, educator, minister Story Behind the Book The four horsemen of the Apocalypse in Revelation 6:1–8 is one of the most vivid, powerful visions in all of the Scriptures. The apostle John saw a vision of four horses (white, red, black, and pale) galloping across the world in the end times, leaving unbelievable destruction in their wake. The chilling imagery of that vision has gripped believers for over two thousand years. The purpose of the book is to take an in-depth look at these four mysterious horsemen and show how their approach seems to be developing before our eyes, signaling the advent of that terrible seven years known as the Great Tribulation. The four horsemen are symbolic of great movements that will mark the onset of that climactic era in history.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Dick Russell, edited and introduced by New York Times bestselling author Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.! ”A must read for anyone concerned with climate and energy issues.” —Leonardo DiCaprio, Academy Award winning actor and environmental activist The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting from the burning of the planet: energy moguls like the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis. And yet they have put their profits and careers ahead of the health and welfare of the world’s population—and even their own children and grandchildren. How do they explain themselves to their offspring, to the next generations that must deal with the environmental havoc that these men have wreaked? Horsemen of the Apocalypse takes a personal look at this global crisis, literally bringing it home.
Download or read book The Four Horsemen written by Christopher Hitchens and published by Random House. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2007, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett filmed a landmark discussion about modern atheism. The video went viral. Now in print for the first time, the transcript of their conversation is illuminated by new essays from three of the original participants and an introduction by Stephen Fry. At the dawn of the new atheist movement, the thinkers who became known as “the four horsemen,” the heralds of religion's unraveling—Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett—sat down together over cocktails. What followed was a rigorous, pathbreaking, and enthralling exchange, which has been viewed millions of times since it was first posted on YouTube. This is intellectual inquiry at its best: exhilarating, funny, and unpredictable, sincere and probing, reminding us just how varied and colorful the threads of modern atheism are. Here is the transcript of that conversation, in print for the first time, augmented by material from the living participants: Dawkins, Harris, and Dennett. These new essays, introduced by Stephen Fry, mark the evolution of their thinking and highlight particularly resonant aspects of this epic exchange. Each man contends with the most fundamental questions of human existence while challenging the others to articulate their own stance on God and religion, cultural criticism, spirituality, debate with people of faith, and the components of a truly ethical life. Praise for The Four Horsemen “This bracing exchange of ideas crackles with energy. It’s fascinating to watch four first-class minds explore a rugged intellectual terrain. . . . The text affords a different, more reflective way of processing the truly vital exchange of ideas. . . . I commend the book to those seeking an honest reckoning with their religion—and those curious about how the world looks from a rigorously naturalistic and atheistic point of view.”—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “The full, electrifying transcript of the one and only conversation between the quartet of luminaries dubbed the ‘four horsemen’ of the New Atheism, which took place in Washington, D.C., in 2007. Among the vast range of ideas and questions they discuss: Is it ever possible to win a war of ideas? Is spirituality the preserve of the religious? And, are there any truths you would rather not know?”—The Bookseller (UK) (starred review)
Download or read book Democracy written by Condoleezza Y Rice and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the former secretary of state and bestselling author -- a sweeping look at the global struggle for democracy and why America must continue to support the cause of human freedom. "This heartfelt and at times very moving book shows why democracy proponents are so committed to their work...Both supporters and skeptics of democracy promotion will come away from this book wiser and better informed." -- The New York Times From the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union to the ongoing struggle for human rights in the Middle East, Condoleezza Rice has served on the front lines of history. As a child, she was an eyewitness to a third awakening of freedom, when her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama, became the epicenter of the civil rights movement for black Americans. In this book, Rice explains what these epochal events teach us about democracy. At a time when people around the world are wondering whether democracy is in decline, Rice shares insights from her experiences as a policymaker, scholar, and citizen, in order to put democracy's challenges into perspective. When the United States was founded, it was the only attempt at self-government in the world. Today more than half of all countries qualify as democracies, and in the long run that number will continue to grow. Yet nothing worthwhile ever comes easily. Using America's long struggle as a template, Rice draws lessons for democracy around the world -- from Russia, Poland, and Ukraine, to Kenya, Colombia, and the Middle East. She finds that no transitions to democracy are the same because every country starts in a different place. Pathways diverge and sometimes circle backward. Time frames for success vary dramatically, and countries often suffer false starts before getting it right. But, Rice argues, that does not mean they should not try. While the ideal conditions for democracy are well known in academia, they never exist in the real world. The question is not how to create perfect circumstances but how to move forward under difficult ones. These same insights apply in overcoming the challenges faced by governments today. The pursuit of democracy is a continuing struggle shared by people around the world, whether they are opposing authoritarian regimes, establishing new democratic institutions, or reforming mature democracies to better live up to their ideals. The work of securing it is never finished. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Download or read book The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse written by Kostas Tzouvelekis and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my previous three (3) books which are: 1) The true Interpretation of the Revelation of John and the Bible 2) The Seven Golden Bowls of the Wrath of God, Book One 3) The Seven Golden Bowls of the Wrath of God, Book Two and which can all be found on Amazon in Kindle and in Paperback form, it must be pointed out that, many important verses of the Revelation of John as well as some significant verses of the Bible, were correctly Interpreted and Published for the first time on a worldwide scale. The present book, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, continues in the same powerful mode and reveals a subject which is very much sought and searched by many people who want to discover the truth about this very powerful issue. I have already indicated the fact that the Bible, which is the Word of God, cannot be Unsealed by anyone no matter how much he tries to achieve this formidable task, unless God Himself gives to him the key of David as stated in the Revelation of John in Chapter 3 verse 7. In addition, I have indicated many times that certain verses in the Bible have been used on purpose, in order to Seal the Scripture, until the right time comes as set by God and only then can the Scripture be correctly and truly Unsealed and finally Interpreted. The fact that what I am offering here as well as in my other books, is the True and Correct Interpretation of the Revelation of John and the Bible is also confirmed by the effortless and simple way that these verses, which were used on purpose I repeat in order to make all other Interpretations null and void, are now easily Interpreted. On top of that, it is quite obvious that the Interpretation offered here and in my other books, is in complete conformity with the World's Historical stratum. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a very hot issue right now and it is searched by many people who desperately want to find out the meaning of the White Horse, the Fire Horse, the Black Horse, the Pale Horse as well as their Riders. I want to make crystal clear that there is absolutely no way to provide the true Interpretation of the Revelation of John and of the Bible, prior to the year of 1896 A.D., since this was the year that was Stigmatized by God to be the year of the true Interpretation of these marvelous Books, which undoubtedly contain the infallible Word of God. And because I want to remove even the slightest possible doubt from the mind of the important reader of this book, here is the proof of this tremendous issue. The great Prophet Daniel in Chapter 12 verse 4 was ordered to Shut up the wonderful words that He heard coming straight out of the Golden mouth of Jesus and to Seal the Book until the time of the end where many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Then Daniel in the same Chapter in verse 7, actually heard the time of the end that these wonderful things will be Unsealed, where knowledge shall be increased, which definitely refers to our epoch where knowledge has dramatically increased. Because as Daniel himself states, He heard Jesus Christ saying that in time, times and half of a time all these things shall be known. Daniel actually saw Jesus Christ Our Lord standing above the Water of the Euphrates River and raising both of His Hands and swearing to Him who lives forever and ever, that a brilliant amount of Knowledge was going to be poured upon humanity in time, times and half of a time. The time period time, times and half of a time, is equal to twelve hundred and sixty (1260) years and it is the time period that the Prime of the Christian Church, the Christian Church of Jerusalem, was displaced to the desert Monasteries of Egypt in order to be saved by the rapid and savagerous expansion of Islam. All this is very clearly outlined in the Revelation of John which is in complete agreement with what the great Prophet Daniel states above. Because in the Revelation of John in Chapter 12 verse 6 and verse 14, the time period of t

Book excerpt: They came to earth--Pestilence, War, Famine, Death--four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. When Pestilence, the first of the horsemen, comes for Sara Burn's town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed. Too bad no one told her Pestilence can't be killed. Alive and furious, the horseman takes Sara prisoner, determined to make her suffer for impeding his mission. Despite her pleas, nothing and no one gets in the way of his orders to destroy humankind. Only, the longer Pestilence spends beside Sara's bravery and compassion, the more he seems to understand her, and understand humanity. And the longer Sara travels with Pestilence and his plague, the more uncertain she grows about his true feelings toward her...and hers toward him. Sara might still be able to save the world, but she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.

Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all. Ana da Silva always assumed she'd die young, but she never expected it to be at the hands of the haunting immortal who spared her life years ago. Famine. But if the horseman remembers her, he must not care, for when she comes face to face with him for the second time in her life, she's stabbed and left for dead. Only, she doesn't quite die. If there's one thing Famine is good at, it's cruelty. He can't forget the pain humanity has brought him, and he's ready to bring it back to them tenfold. But when Ana, a ghost from his past, corners him for what he did to her, she and her empty threats captivate him, and he decides to keep her around. In spite of themselves, Ana and Famine are drawn to each other. But at the end of the day, the two are enemies. Nothing changes that. Not one kind act, not two. And definitely not a few steamy nights. But enemies or reluctant lovers, if they don't stop themselves soon, heaven will.

Download or read book Revelation written by Greg Laurie and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What on Earth will Happen? When God predicts the future, He isn t taking a risk or going out on a limb. He knows that future already. With Him, it s already an established fact. He doesn t just forecast the future, He has been there. In fact, He s there right now, just as surely as He is with us in the present moment. The Book of Revelation allows us to glimpse realities that are outside of time, in the eternal realm. It reminds us that our God lives in that eternal reality, and isn t bound by the pages in a calendar, the hours in a day, or the hands on a clock. He has no yesterday or tomorrow, because it s all just a continuum to Him. God can look at the future with as much clarity and accuracy as you and I might look at the recent past. God has perfect recollection and perfect foresight. When He says that a certain event will happen, it s as though it has already taken place. From our point of view, time seems to stretch on and on, but God isn t affected at all by the duration of time. As Peter noted, A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day (2 Peter 3:8, NLT). Greg Laurie In this exciting, comprehensive overview of the New Testament s final book, Greg Laurie shares insights drawn from a lifelong study of Bible prophecy and how it intersects with today s headlines

This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's commonly known that there is more to investment and wealth management than what is consistently recycled by advisors and the media, but the way forward still seems shrouded. Robert J. Klosterman, CFP, a wealth advisor with forty years' industry experience, lifts the apocalyptic veil of deception so that investors can fend off the four horsemen-inflation, volatility, groupthink, and global displacements and transformation-attempting to drive them toward financial self-destruction. Klosterman's book provides the weapons to fight these forces of evil by providing insight, perspective, and innovative strategies for managing high-end money portfolios. Ignoring the market's constant media coverage, this hard-hitting guide focuses on the notion that investing is really about keeping the four horsemen at bay and meeting personal, family, and philanthropic objectives. Investing is serious business and needs a serious approach that looks beyond the public markets to design relevant portfolios that meet short- and long-term goals in today's rapidly shifting financial world. Using a modern, fresh, and investigative approach, Klosterman delves into the concepts and inner workings of the world of financial advice and reveals exactly how you can battle the enemy and build a successful portfolio.
Download or read book The Four Horsemen written by Cathy Leahy and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe experienced great turmoil between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. Bitter religious conflicts, war and other disasters such as plague and famine generated deep anxieties and were increasingly read as divine punishments or warnings that the Last Days were imminent. Artists gave expression to these fears in a range of extraordinary images that are analysed in depth in this publication. Illustrations of the Apocalypse, as well as images of skeletons personifying Death, and of physically deformed creatures, extreme natural phenomena and diabolical witches were all manifestations of the sense of impending social and religious crisis. Lavishly illustrated with works by artists including Albrecht Drer, Jacques de Gheyn II and Stefano della Bella, The Four Horsemen: Apocalypse, Death and Disaster provides a fascinating insight into the art, culture and turbulent times in later medieval, Renaissance and early modern Europe.
