Book excerpt: The Firstborn–the mysterious race of aliens who first became known to science fiction fans as the builders of the iconic black monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey–have inhabited legendary master of science fiction Sir Arthur C. Clarke’s writing for decades. With Time’s Eye and Sunstorm, the first two books in their acclaimed Time Odyssey series, Clarke and his brilliant co-author Stephen Baxter imagined a near-future in which the Firstborn seek to stop the advance of human civilization by employing a technology indistinguishable from magic. Their first act was the Discontinuity, in which Earth was carved into sections from different eras of history, restitched into a patchwork world, and renamed Mir. Mir’s inhabitants included such notables as Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and United Nations peacekeeper Bisesa Dutt. For reasons unknown to her, Bisesa entered into communication with an alien artifact of inscrutable purpose and godlike power–a power that eventually returned her to Earth. There, she played an instrumental role in humanity’s race against time to stop a doomsday event: a massive solar storm triggered by the alien Firstborn designed to eradicate all life from the planet. That fate was averted at an inconceivable price. Now, twenty-seven years later, the Firstborn are back. This time, they are pulling no punches: They have sent a “quantum bomb.” Speeding toward Earth, it is a device that human scientists can barely comprehend, that cannot be stopped or destroyed–and one that will obliterate Earth. Bisesa’s desperate quest for answers sends her first to Mars and then to Mir, which is itself threatened with extinction. The end seems inevitable. But as shocking new insights emerge into the nature of the Firstborn and their chilling plans for mankind, an unexpected ally appears from light-years away.

Download or read book The Firstborn Son written by Jr. Ezechiel "Zeke" Bambolo and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings an incredibly fresh perspective unlike any other before it to this topic of the firstborn. It challenges fathers, sons, mothers, and similar authority figures to embrace a long existed yet abandoned concept of the firstborn son that will serve us all effectively. The firstborn son has a covenant relationship with God the father for stability of the family and society (see Numbers 8:16-17, Romans 8:28-30, Colossians 1:15-16). The proper embrace of the institution of the firstborn son is crucial to thoroughly restoring the ill-beating heart of our society to its perfect rhythm. God's perspective is paramount. As opposed to an all-theoretical approach, challenging real life experiences of the author provide measurable results that can be methodically tracked to observe the expected progress when practiced. Key subject matter experts have also provided their approval of this material as you will notice on the book's reviews. Ezechiel "Zeke" Bambolo, Jr. was born in Liberia, West Africa, and came to the United States in 1991. Regardless of social and emotional trials, he became a very successful collegiate athlete and student. Ezechiel is a firstborn son who accepted the challenge of his father and embraced God's core values for this strategic role. He restored his family from utter chaos, destruction, and loss of a civil war after being forced to leave them in the danger of the war. Now married for over twelve years, he is a father of two beautiful children. He has spent over fourteen years in corporate America as an awardwinning consultant. Ezechiel serves as a deacon in his church and has been fully engaged in men's discipleships and accountability groups for over ten years.

Download or read book Battle for the Firstborn written by Mary Nell Wyatt and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did the Exodus really happen as described in the Bible? Secular and even many Biblical scholars say "no." But one man, Ron Wyatt, an amateur archaeologist and avid student of the Scriptures, said "yes!" He believed the Bible to be an accurate record of historical events and forms the basis through which physical evidence should be interpreted. Through the lens of Scripture, he discovered several Biblical sites which are today recognized as authentic by many experts and scholars. This book documents Ron's relentless quest for the truth concerning the Exodus and the discoveries he made which answered several questions such as: - Who was the Biblical Joseph in ancient Egyptian history? - Who was "pharaoh's daughter" who rescued Moses? - Who was the amazing person in ancient Egypt who fits the profile of Moses perfectly? - Where is the location of the Red Sea crossing? - Who was the Exodus pharaoh who drowned in the Red Sea? - Was the firstborn son of the Exodus pharaoh whose life was taken by the "angel of death" really Tutankhamun, or "King Tut?" - What happened in Egypt after the demise of its pharaoh and army in the Red Sea? - Why did Ron and his sons spend 75 days in prison in Saudi Arabia, accused of being Israeli spies, after finding the real Mount Sinai? - What amazing evidence was found at Jericho? These and many other questions are answered in this fact filled book about Egyptian archaeology and the Biblical Exodus story. Many books have been written about these amazing events but none of them have been able to piece the two together until now! Battle for the Firstborn documents only some of the many discoveries God allowed Ron Wyatt to find, none of which Ron took personal credit for. Ron believed God preserved these findings for this time as we approach the end of all things as prophesied in the Scriptures.

Download or read book Curse of the Firstborn written by Romel Duane Moore, Sr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Law of Moses, every firstborn son was predestined to receive the full inheritance and blessing from his father. The purpose of this book is to examine the Scriptures that explain why the firstborn son rarely received the father's inheritance and blessing. Our human birth is our first birth and when we are born again, it is our spiritual birth or second birth. We are born in the flesh, and then we are born again spiritually. Our first birth is cursed because we are all "shapen in iniquity; and (born) in sin" (Psalm 51:5) and because of this, we cannot receive the blessing of Father God. It is when our second birth occurs, that we are made in the image and likeness of God and have God's nature; this qualifies us for the full inheritance and blessing of God. Curse of the Firstborn will walk you from the Garden of Eden to Calvary, revealing how God's blessing was never given to the firstborn son because he represents the flesh. God's blessing was always given to the youngest son because he represents the Spirit.

Download or read book The Firstborn of God written by Gail Allison Evans and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-05-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Firstborn of God is an in-depth, yet concise, look at the contradictions in the Bible. This book may well have the answers that you have been looking for! Throughout history our religious beliefs have been instrumental in shaping our social and political strictures. Whether we are devout or not, the fundamental philosophies of any give religion will dictate the way in which we interact with each other on a mental, social and political level. Most of the Western world is no exception and has based its theology on a text known as "The Bible." But what is "The Bible"? Is it a collection of scrolls written by a group of old men? Or is it the word of God as so many claim it to be? If the Bible really is the word of God, then it should follow that the chapters and verses will be clear-cut, easily understood and lack ambiguity. But this is not the case. The Bible is ambiguous and many of its texts contradict each other, which in turn implies that the scribes who wrote them had differing views on the divine word of God as well as differing social and political philosophies.
