Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the end of Paul's address to Rome, he professed: Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith. (Rm. 16:25) The Bible from beginning to end is the revelation and confirmation of a mystery. As eluded to in the above, there are numerous scriptures which speak of a mystery that predates the foundation of the world, which speaks of a plan of God, whose promise was unto and in behalf of the children of men. It's a mystery whose predestination encompassed man's failure to retain his position before God. Its wisdom, intent, and design was to explore the depth of his transgression, the liability which ensued, and the price required to restore him to his former glory. Included in this plan was one who would enter the world from outside of time and work a work, that God, through Him, might reconcile the world unto Himself (2 Cor. 5:17""19). On that fateful day when God stood forth to create the heavens and the earth and concluded on the sixth day with the formation of man, cloaked within creation, was an intent whose end was not just eternal but immortal. It was thus that the apostle Paul said: Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (1 Cor. 2:6""7) Contained within this mystery is the conclusion of this present age, a conclusion that awaits the fulfillment of this mystery, as revealed by John, saying: "But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, 'the mystery of God should be finished,' as he hath declared to his servants the prophets" (Rev. 10:7). As we look at the unfolding and fulfillment of this mystery, one cannot help but be reminded of the declaration of Paul, when speaking of the work of redemption he said: O the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (Rm. 11:33)

Download or read book Thoughts on Revelation written by William Merrifield and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoughts on Revelation picks up where Thoughts on Daniel left off. The theme of Revelation can be found in plain sight. "Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him" (Revelation 1:7). Daniel prophesied of a coming Messiah. John prophesied of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destruction of Jerusalem and the exile to Babylon was a judgment against Israel. The Great Tribulation will be a judgment against "all the nations" (Isaiah 34:1-3). I think that I can safely say that there is not a book in the entire Bible that is read less and misunderstood more than the book of Revelation. I don't know how many Bible studies I have attended on Revelation. Not one of those studies ever made it to culmination. The instructors had the best intentions, but for one reason or another, they did not conclude the matter, leaving the attendees more confused than ever. This is a companion edition to Thoughts on Daniel. If simple rules are followed in reading and studying, the book of Revelation should become clear, logical, and easily understood. So here it is. Handed down from Daniel and illuminated by Jesus and open for those who have "ears to hear and eyes to see--both are gifts from the Lord" (Proverbs 20:12).

Book excerpt: Physics World's 'Book of the Year' for 2016 An Entertaining and Enlightening Guide to the Who, What, and Why of String Theory, now also available in an updated reflowable electronic format compatible with mobile devices and e-readers. During the last 50 years, numerous physicists have tried to unravel the secrets of string theory. Yet why do these scientists work on a theory lacking experimental confirmation?

The author, a theoretical physics professor at the University of Oxford and a leading string theorist, explains what string theory is and where it originated.

Download or read book The Theory of Creation written by Jim Schicatano and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the Biblical account of creation be reconciled with current scientific beliefs? For over a century, the Holy Bible’s story of creation has come under considerable scrutiny and derision by the scientific community. The length of creation days, the Biblical order of creation, and man’s origin have all been the subjects of heated debates — debates that cast further doubts on Biblical accuracy. But is such derision warranted? The Theory of Creation boldly answers that very question. Rather than denounce other theories or repudiate accepted scientific beliefs, this is a comprehensive and objective analysis of the first story of the Bible (Genesis 1:1 - 2:4). Each verse is carefully examined for its scientific meaning, the original Hebrew text is often referenced, popular theories are explored, and the purpose and implications of God’s actions are addressed. Finally, the Biblical account of creation is compared to the scientific record. In this era of moral relativism, when Biblical values are condemned and the sanctity of the Holy Bible is often ridiculed, validation of the creation story would be a source of inspiration for believers everywhere. In The Theory of Creation, Jim Schicatano answers the enduring questions of science and resolves the Biblical Creation debate.

Download or read book How Long Have You Been Standing Here God written by Michael Jean Nystrom-Schut and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2005-05-24 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRILOGY BOOK TWO includes three books from my numerous writings. Writing and philosophizing for so long now, I am pleased to get to do this while others simply cant take the time. In my journeys, I dont know if I am getting closer to knowing anything, and it seems the more I know, the more I know I dont know. I suppose all we can be sure of, is that as long as we are alive, we have the opportunity to keep searching, while continuing to delve into our minds and hearts for clues to greater meaning and purpose on earth. How long have you been standing here, God? is the title of the book, and it comes to you along with two others, Evolution: Facts and Fairy Tales and Amistad (Spanish for friendship). All three were written with you (the reader and fellow life-mate) especially in mind. If you struggle with your personal spirituality, and need greater awareness that God is on all sides of you, then maybe How long have you been standing here, God? (Book One) will be helpful. If you are wondering about your origins, trying to figure out how it all came about, then perhaps Evolution: Facts and Fairy Tales (Book Two) will make things even more confusing! During my time in Central America, I have learned plenty about the concept of friendship, and I mean that in the context of the whole of life. Amistad (Book Three) is a book about befriending the people, places and things that make up our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hip-hop is a deeply spiritual culture, a culture that since its beginnings has provided urban youth all over the world with a sense of place, being and direction, with knowledge of self and knowledge of cultural heritage.

By developing a theoretical framework of hybrid spirituality, Opsahl outlines spiritual strategies of survival and resistance in contexts of oppression and struggle.He provides basic introductions to recent research on spirituality, to hip-hop culture and its esthetic practices and to Islam in the USA and the teachings of Nation of Islam and Nation of Gods and Earths. Then follow in-depth analyzes of hip-hop cultural expressions. One chapter is devoted to the study of graffiti murals, exploring artworks by some of New York's finest writers such as TATS CRU, TRACY 168, TOO FLY and QUEEN ANDREA. Then follows a chapter on rap and Christianity, featuring explorations of Lauryn Hill, 2Pac and a number of Christian rappers including G.R.I.T.S. Another chapter explores Islamic influences on rap, with studies on Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, Erykah Badu and Mos Def.Embedded in rhythms, rhymes, colors and shapes, the exploration of hip hop spirituality expands the horizon of studies in spirituality.
