Download or read book Understanding End Times Prophecy written by Paul Benware and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Download or read book The Black Horseman written by Richard Parker and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On one of the infinite Earths floating through the vast multiverse, a set of random acts of violence inadvertently alters the planet's destiny, nudging it onto an intersecting course with our own. The strange but familiar planet is whisper close, invisible to the eye, and impossible to touch; it hovers just beyond the reach of our senses, but it is a constant companion and shifting ever closer. It begins with war, the collapse of a nation, and the execution of two families. The brutal nature of the murders, orchestrated by the deadly Tar Navarra, Executioner from the Temple Islands, forever entwines the fates of two young survivors. Gwaynn and Samantha are alone, afraid, and on the run. Utterly ignorant of their shared peril, they are tenaciously hunted, their paths pushed steadily closer. To survive they must stay one step ahead of the Executioner, but Navarra is ruthless. Navarra is relentless. Navarra is death; the Black Horseman himself, and he will not stop until the two have met their grisly end.

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

Download or read book Mass Starvation written by Alex de Waal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world almost conquered famine. Until the 1980s, this scourge killed ten million people every decade, but by early 2000s mass starvation had all but disappeared. Today, famines are resurgent, driven by war, blockade, hostility to humanitarian principles and a volatile global economy. In Mass Starvation, world-renowned expert on humanitarian crisis and response Alex de Waal provides an authoritative history of modern famines: their causes, dimensions and why they ended. He analyses starvation as a crime, and breaks new ground in examining forced starvation as an instrument of genocide and war. Refuting the enduring but erroneous view that attributes famine to overpopulation and natural disaster, he shows how political decision or political failing is an essential element in every famine, while the spread of democracy and human rights, and the ending of wars, were major factors in the near-ending of this devastating phenomenon. Hard-hitting and deeply informed, Mass Starvation explains why man-made famine and the political decisions that could end it for good must once again become a top priority for the international community.

It's like pumping a mountain stream through your head' Sir Tim Smit A powerful polemic on the major threats facing the world today and how they can be overcome. Our world is facing catastrophes of many kinds, from the climate crisis to global outbreaks of deadly diseases. But could we look back at the collapse of previous civilisations to see what lessons might be learned? The explorer and campaigner Robin Hanbury-Tenison believes we urgently need to tackle the four harbingers of catastrophe: The White Horse of Pestilence and Pandemics – many remote tribal societies have lives that are healthier than ours – what can we learn from them? The Red Horse of War – can we avoid conflict through promoting prosperity and renewable energy for all? The Black Horse of Famine – is now the time to use technology we’ve had since World War II to influence the weather? The Pale Horse of Death – will geoengineering help to undo the appalling pollution we are inflicting on the planet, especially the oceans? The lessons of Taming The Four Horsemen are clear: if we humans are to survive we need to make transformative changes now.

Download or read book Silent Violence written by Michael J. Watts and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 815 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do famines occur and how have their effects changed through time? Why are those who produce food so often the casualties of famines? Looking at the food crisis that struck the West African Sahel during the 1970s, Michael J. Watts examines the relationships between famine, climate, and political economy. Through a longue durée history and a detailed village study Watts argues that famines are socially produced and that the market is as fickle and incalculable as the weather. Droughts are natural occurrences, matters of climatic change, but famines expose the inner workings of society, politics, and markets. His analysis moves from household and individual farming practices in the face of climatic variability to the incorporation of African peasants into the global circuits of capitalism in the colonial and postcolonial periods. Silent Violence powerfully combines a case study of food crises in Africa with an analysis of the way capitalism developed in northern Nigeria and how peasants struggle to maintain rural livelihoods. As the West African Sahel confronts another food crisis and continuing food insecurity for millions of peasants, Silent Violence speaks in a compelling way to contemporary agrarian dynamics, food provisioning systems, and the plight of the African poor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teenage girl saddles up to take on worldwide famine—and her own anorexia—in a “fast-paced, witty, and heart-breaking” fantasy adventure (Richelle Mead, #1 New York Times-bestselling author) Jackie Morse Kessler’s Riders of the Apocalypse series follows teens who are transformed into the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In Hunger, Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she’s been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen? Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home—her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power—and the courage to fight her own inner demons? A wildly original approach to the issue of eating disorders, Hunger is about the struggle to find balance in a world of extremes and uses fantastic tropes to explore a difficult topic that touches the lives of many teens. “A great book . . . funny and sad, brilliant and tragic, and most of all, it speaks the truth. I adore it.”—Rachel Caine, New York Times-bestselling author “It was sheer genius to combine the eating disorder anorexia with the ultimate entity signifying lack of food, nourishment and all that that entails: famine.”—New York Journal of Books “The storytelling is both realistic and compassionate.”—School Library Journal, (starred review)

Download or read book The Second Horseman written by Kyle Mills and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Kyle Mills, New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp novels, comes a story of a professional thief whose latest job could save the world. Brandon Vale is a career thief---the best there is. Or at least he was before he was thrown in prison for a jewel heist gone bad. And even more embarrassing, he had nothing to do with it. His time inside is going fairly quietly until the night he's broken out against his will by Richard Scanlon, the now-retired FBI agent who framed him in the first place. Scanlon, who still has ties to the United States intelligence community, has discovered that a Ukrainian crime organization is auctioning twelve nuclear warheads to the highest bidder, but he can't convince the government that the sale isn't a hoax. The only way he can get his hands on the $200 million necessary to take the warheads off the market is to do something that goes against everything he stands for: steal it. The choice Brandon is given is simple: help Scanlon and hope to live through it, or turn himself in and face the repercussions of his "escape." Suddenly, Brandon finds himself with only weeks to plan a Las Vegas heist that that he's been dreaming about for years, but has always thought was probably impossible. And to make matters worse, Scanlon insists on choosing his team personally. Led by the relentlessly intelligent and undeniably beautiful Catherine Juarez, not a single one of the former government operatives he picks has so much as shoplifted a pack of gum in their lives. As the day of the heist approaches, Brandon's carefully constructed plans begin to break down and he suspects that the elaborate double-cross he's devised to save himself could cost millions of lives. He finally has to ask himself just how far he's willing to be dragged into a game that he can only lose. With The Second Horseman, the heart-stopping, all-too-real novel, Kyle Mills proves once again that he is one of the freshest and most original thriller writers working today.

Book excerpt: Reading Revelation in Context brings together short, accessible essays that compare and contrast the visions and apocalyptic imagery of the book of Revelation with various texts from Second Temple Jewish literature. Going beyond an introduction that merely surveys historical events and theological themes, Reading Revelation in Context examines individual passages in Second Temple Jewish literature in order to illuminate the context of Revelation's theology and the meaning and potency of John's visions. Following the narrative progression of Revelation, each chapter (1) pairs a major unit of the Apocalypse with one or more sections of a thematically related Jewish text, (2) introduces and explores the historical and theological nuances of the comparator text, and (3) shows how the ideas in the comparator text illuminate those expressed in Revelation. In addition to the focused comparison provided in the essays, the book contains other student-friendly features that will help them engage broader discussions, including an introductory chapter that familiarizes students with the world and texts of Second Temple Judaism, a glossary of important terms, and a brief appendix suggesting what tools students might use to undertake their own comparative studies.

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.

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
