Download or read book Revelations written by Elaine Pagels and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
Download or read book The Late Great Planet Earth written by Hal Lindsey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of The Late Great Planet Earth cannot be overstated. The New York Times called it the "no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade." For Christians and non-Christians of the 1970s, Hal Lindsey's blockbuster served as a wake-up call on events soon to come and events already unfolding -- all leading up to the greatest event of all: the return of Jesus Christ. The years since have confirmed Lindsey's insights into what biblical prophecy says about the times we live in. Whether you're a church-going believer or someone who wouldn't darken the door of a Christian institution, the Bible has much to tell you about the imminent future of this planet. In the midst of an out-of-control generation, it reveals a grand design that's unfolding exactly according to plan. The rebirth of Israel. The threat of war in the Middle East. An increase in natural catastrophes. The revival of Satanism and witchcraft. These and other signs, foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, portend the coming of an antichrist . . . of a war which will bring humanity to the brink of destruction . . . and of incredible deliverance for a desperate, dying planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST - REV. 19:1-21 A. GENERAL - 1. Chapter 19 - brings to a close the Great Tribulation period (Daniels 70th Week Dan. 9:27) and ushers in the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. 2. Christ promised he would come again (John 14:3). 40 days after his resurrection (Acts 1:3), Christ ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives; just East of Jerusalem (Acts 1:9). Two angels told the apostles Jesus would return in like manner (Acts 1:11). In Rev. 19:11-16, Christ returns with armies of saints and angels. 3. The prophecies of Zechariah will be fulfilled: Thus says the Lord: I am returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem... (Zech. 8:3); And his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the East... (Zech. 14:4). 4. In Chapter 19 - there are actually 2 scenes: 1 in heaven which is one of great joy and 1 on earth which is one of great judgment. B. JOY IN HEAVEN (REV. 19:1-10) 1. SONGS OF THE SAINTS - REV. 19:1-6) a. TIME SEQUENCE - (1) After this, I (John) heard - what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: Hallelujah - salvation - glory power belong to our God for true and just are his judgments he has condemned the great prostitute (whore, KJV) - who corrupted the earth by her adulteries - he has avenged on her the blood of his servants! (Rev. 19:1-2). NOTE: After this refers to the destruction of the apostate religious system in Rev. 17 and the corrupt commercial system in Rev. 18. In Rev. 18:20 the call to rejoice was issued; now we have the response to that call.

Download or read book God s Events Now and Forever written by Miss Nan and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are we living in the end times? The condition of the world today would seem to suggest that we indeed may be! As a result, this book is quite timely. It presents God's events in an easy-to-understand manner. The beginning prophecy student as well as the advanced student can study this book and have a better understanding of God's events-now and forever and a better understanding of how our Lord Jesus fits into the picture. MISS NAN spent many years in the educational field. She started as an English teacher, moved into administration, and served as president of a private junior college in Jackson, Mississippi, for twenty years, a position from which she retired in 1995. It was in Jackson that she found her true calling, teaching the Word of God in a local church, Colonial Heights Baptist Church. Soon after becoming a member, she began to teach Sunday School, first to older women and currently to younger women, during a span of over thirty years. Throughout the years she has taught men and women of all ages in other Bible studies, particularly studies concerning end times. Soon after she began to teach prophecy, she came to understand that no one book tells the whole story. God's events-now and forever-are presented from Genesis through The Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. She has pieced together God's plan by consulting the whole Bible. Some people may not hold all the views Miss Nan has presented, but it is important to understand that she wrote what God laid on her heart as she studied His Word.
Download or read book The Final Prophecy of Jesus written by Oral E. Collins and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary is the first major work on the book of Revelation in many years that expounds the historicist interpretation. The historicist school of interpretation was the dominant approach from Reformation times through most of the nineteenth century. The reasons for the current disaffection are too complex to address in a few words, but it is the author's conviction that from the standpoint of sound principles of biblical hermeneutics, the historicist inerpretation is still the most creditable approach for an accurate understanding of this, the last book of the Bible and the final prophecy of Jesus.

Download or read book How Jesus Became God written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples believed during Jesus’s lifetime—and it is not what Jesus claimed about himself. How Jesus Became God tells the story of an idea that shaped Christianity, and of the evolution of a belief that looked very different in the fourth century than it did in the first. A master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, Ehrman reveals how an apocalyptic prophet from the backwaters of rural Galilee crucified for crimes against the state came to be thought of as equal with the one God Almighty, Creator of all things. But how did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? In a book that took eight years to research and write, Ehrman sketches Jesus’s transformation from a human prophet to the Son of God exalted to divine status at his resurrection. Only when some of Jesus’s followers had visions of him after his death—alive again—did anyone come to think that he, the prophet from Galilee, had become God. And what they meant by that was not at all what people mean today. Written for secular historians of religion and believers alike, How Jesus Became God will engage anyone interested in the historical developments that led to the affirmation at the heart of Christianity: Jesus was, and is, God.

But you can, by charting your personal Cosmic Clock, learn to see the patterns in your life and prepare for the challenges and the opportunities that come your way each day.

Download or read book The Prophecy Puzzle written by Joseph R. Ebenhoe and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Prophecy Puzzle" is a study on the whole book of Revelation, not just "end-time" events, but as the title suggests it does go into great detail on these events and the order in which they will occur. I attempt to bring many of the prophecies of the Old Testament into the book of Revelation to give a clearer and perhaps surprising view of what is to occur in the near future. My goal isn't to win everyone to my viewpoint, but to encourage thought and provide an opportunity for God to teach from His Holy Word, the Bible. I've been a Christian for more than twenty years, which in itself has been a great blessing, but one of the greatest blessings during this time has been the occupations the LORD has provided for me. This is true because for most of that time I've been able to listen to five or six hours of Christian radio a day. This has enabled me to listen to the teachings of some of the finest teachers in modern times. Many of which disagree with each other almost as much as one can and still remain orthodox. This unique privilege has allowed me to study many views on the "end-times," which I believe has enabled me with God's help to understand them better. Also over these past twenty plus years I've had the privilege to directly study under some great teachers. For much of those twenty years I've also taught a home Bible study and frequently taught classes in my local church.
