Download or read book The Babylon Code written by Richard N. Rhoades and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a reception in the Kremlin on November 17, 1956, Nikita Khrushchev made a startling comment aimed at America: “Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!” The break-up of the USSR in 1991 was hailed by the West—especially America—as a victory over communism and its global threat of tyranny. Throughout the world the cry was heard: “Communist rule is over! The evil empire is gone!” But was it? In The Babylon Code: Is AMERICA in Prophecy? author Richard N. Rhoades examines the writings of Russian dissidents and high-ranking communist military leaders to explain the real reason behind Khrushchev’s angry outburst and to illustrate why Russia is more dangerous today than ever before. His research reveals a long-range KGB strategic plan for global domination, known among some of the highest ranking Communist military defectors to the West. Rhoades also explores the real reason Russia is now flexing its muscles to the United States and the world, and what the ancient Hebrew prophets said about a great latter nation in the Bible code-named “Babylon,” whose real identity is mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures not once but twice as “AMERIKA” (AMERICA). The Babylon Code offers a well-researched, in-depth look at the causes of these threats and actions, viewing Russia, America and its Jewish inhabitants with a new perspective.

Download or read book Nebuchadrezzar and Babylon written by D. J. Wiseman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1991-03-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new examination of the region of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon (605-562 BC) includes revised interpretations of the Babylonian Chronicles for his reign, especially for the years of the campaigns against the West and the capture of Jerusalem. Excavations at Babylon are used to give a view of the city in Neo-Babylonian times, including the royal `Hanging Gardens' and the ziggurat. The varied literary genres current in this city of learning in the sixth century BC (including dreams and prophecies) and the role of hostages, exiles, and prisoners of war are used to throw light on the life of the Jewish exiles there. An assessment of the character of Nebuchadrezzar as a military and political leader, religious devotee and legal administrator is attempted on the basis of textual evidence.

It doesn’t help matters that the mystery man, B.J. Johnson–the only man Catherine has ever loved–doesn’t even know about Phoebe. He’s been living in Africa. Now B.J., a renowned newspaper correspondent, is back in town and needs Catherine’s help cracking a story about a female slavery ring operating right on the streets of Atlanta. Catherine is eager to help B.J., despite her heart’s uncertainty over meeting him again after so long, and confessing the truth to him–and their daughter. Meanwhile, Catherine’s hands are more than full since she’s taken on a new client.

But why are the steely Miss Mandeville and her all-too-slick sidekick Sam so interested in Catherine’s connection to B.J.?
