Download or read book Visions and Prophecies written by Karl Rahner and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the Church mean when she recognizes private revelations and visions as credible? Which is the point at which God affects the soul? What are the criteria for the discernment of genuine prophecies. Karl Rahner's concern is the theological and psychological significance of phenomena which, despite the Church's care in establishing their authentic character, have been left too often and too readily to human credulity. The danger of error, he suggests, is greater in credulity than in scepticism.

In my own life I’ve had numerous experiences with premonitions involving the future. They have varied from strong visions, to dreams, to vague feelings, to strong fear. Even though I’ve studied many other types of paranormal experiences and had many, these experiences about future events seem to be my strongest natural precognitive ability. These events also formed major influences on my life, and their study and analysis has therefore been a big passion of mine. In this book my goal is to cover explain the history of Prophecy and Divination, describe the types of experiences people have, and to analyze these phenomena.

Download or read book The Visions of Daniel the Hebrew Prophet written by Robert Johns and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, controversy has raged over the authorship and genuineness of the book of Daniel. Is it an authentic document from the sixth century before the Common Era with a message from God to postexilic Israel; or is it a forged document written centuries later to encourage Israelites being oppressed by the Seleucid king, Antiochus Epiphanes? Robert Johns addresses these issues and more in his thesis on Daniel's visions. Importantly, Johns establishes when Daniel was provided with his visions, and he defines why God provided Daniel with the visions. The Visions of Daniel the Hebrew Prophet examines the metal image, the beast with eleven horns, the Seventy "sevens," chapter eight's little-horn, and the 2,300 evening-mornings. It demonstrates that the enigmatic 1,290 days and 1,335 days are anything but enigmatic, and it identifies the reason why Daniel's fifth and final revelation is so detailed. Appendices address issues of general nature, such as the historicity of Jesus the Christ, the popularity of dispensationalism, the identity of "the abomination that desolates," and the integrity of novels representing the Christian-fiction genre (which focus on a seven-year tribulation period at the end of history). This book will be of value to every Christian who has an interest in Bible prophecy and eschatology.

Download or read book Centuries written by Nostradamus and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nostradamus. His name has echoed across four centuries forever linked to prophecy. It is believed this medieval French physician wrote more than six thousand prophetic verses in his lifetime, with the most compelling ones published in his 1555 book, Les Propheties des Nostradamus, or The Prophecies of Nostradamus. Its 942 verses, or quatrains, speak of world wars and famine, of fires and floods, of tyrants and calamities that he foresaw in his visions-vivid, violent images brought forth by divination; prophetic visions that would surface in the solitude of his study during the dead of night. Today, more than 450 years after his death, one lingering question continues to draw both skeptic and believer to his legendary work in the face of world events: Was he right? This Bayley Street Press edition is a translated republication of Les Propheties. It includes two fragmentary centuries commonly linked to the original work and 141 Presages written by Nostradamus and published as almanacs between 1555 and 1567.

Download or read book The Wiccan s Dictionary of Prophecy and Omens written by Gerina Dunwich and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WICCAN’S DICTIONARY OF PROPHECY AND OMENS Divination—the art of obtaining knowledge of the future or of secret things—has played an important role in ancient cultures and religions as well as in modern times. It was once a method of sacred communication with the spirit world and a way to determine the will of the gods by means of visions and predictions. In the present age, divination, including astrology, palmistry, and the I Ching, continues to be a popular method of looking into the future or past, as well as revealing that which was once unknown. In fact, a large number of our contemporary customs and superstitions are remnants of the once-powerful divinatory rituals of the ancient pagan religions. The Wiccan's Dictionary of Prophecy and Omens details over two hundred methods of divination, from those used in antiquity to those in use today. It traces the history of these practices and provides examples of nearly every known divinatory art. This is an essential resource for followers of today’s Wiccan lifestyle by modern Wiccan expert Gerina Dunwich.
