Book excerpt: Hello, my name's Zeke, and I'm a Fallen Angel. Now don't be too quick to judge me, we Fallen Angels get a bad rep. A long, long time ago, in a plane of existence not too far away, Father and his inner circle of Archangels had a minor difference of opinion. Sides were chosen, allegiances made, and when Dear ol' Dad got his way, he kicked out those of us that sided with Lucy. (Oh, right, sorry, you probably know her better by her full name, Lucifer.) Anyway, you know what they say, history is written by the victor, so the sore winners upstairs have been bad-mouthing us ever since while propping themselves up as all high and mighty, righteous and forgiving, please, it's all a bunch of bologna, trust me. If they were so good at forgiving, they wouldn't have trapped us all in Hell for who knows how many millennia. If my little sister Trini hadn't been able to influence humanity to split the atom, we never would've been able to get out. It's taken over seven decades for the fractures between Hell and Earth to grow large enough for a being as powerful as me to cross over, but I'm a patient Angel, and in the meantime, I've been able to watch your world, so I think I'm ready for a vacation topside. All I need now is a willing host, someone desperate enough to rent out a space in their head, it'll be fun, I promise...

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel written by Corrine Carvalho and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current state of scholarship on the book of Ezekiel, one of the three Major Prophets, is robust. Ezekiel, unlike most pre-exilic prophetic collections, contains overt clues that its primary circulation was as a literary text and not a collection of oral speeches. The author was highly educated, the theology of the book is "dim," and its view of humanity is overwhelmingly negative. In The Oxford Handbook of Ezekiel, editor Corrine Carvalho brings together scholars from a diverse range of interpretive perspectives to explore one of the Bible's most debated books. Consisting of twenty-seven essays, the Handbook provides introductions to the major trends in the scholarship of Ezekiel, covering its history, current state, and emerging directions. After an introductory overview of these trends, each essay discusses an important element in the scholarly engagement with the book. Several essays discuss the history of the text (its historical context, redactional layers, text criticism, and use of other Israelite and near eastern traditions). Others focus on key themes in the book (such as temple, priesthood, law, and politics), while still others look at the book's reception history and contextual interpretations (including art, Christian use, gender approaches, postcolonial approaches, and trauma theory). Taken together, these essays demonstrate the vibrancy of Ezekiel research in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Hidden Enemy written by Nathan Dodge and published by WordFire +ORM. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth has now been a member of the galactic Alliance for twenty years. It has its own Shadow Warrior organization, a part of the Alliance military that protects members from military threats in the galaxy. Since the Great Galactic War, which ended when the Caretakers, who had been attacking the Alliance, became allies, two decades of galactic peace and prosperity have ensued. Because it is new to the Alliance, Earth still operates its Shadow Warriors under the umbrella of Molethan, the largest and most influential member of the Alliance Chris, Jason, Kali (a Molethian), Terry, and Zeke all enlist in Shadow Warriors. They all bring their problems or “baggage” into the Shadow Warrior Academy. Chris enlisted despite his father’s insistence that he complete high school. Jason, a transgender who wants nothing more than to be a girl, was a target of hatred and abuse and became a large, body-building troublemaker. Kali, a rare aggressive Molethian, enlisted to remove the embarrassment of her parents after she had a fistfight—horrors!—with a fellow student. Terry is extremely timid, often hesitant to make a decision. Zeke’s family didn’t have the funds for college, so he enlisted to build up a nest egg for education. They are formed into an team, destined to become a Shadow Warrior crew—if they can manage to graduate from Academy. They have immediate problems. Jason and Chris can’t stand each other, arguing and refusing to cooperate from the first, and the rest take sides. The constant conflict imperils their future, bringing the team close to expulsion from the program—and another problem looms even before their graduation. The Xzorn, an extremely aggressive species whose whole existence is based on expansion of their empire, attacks the Alliance with enormous forces. Suddenly the Alliance faces the first real threat in decades. Can this new Shadow Warriors team, who can’t even get along among themselves, overcome their differences, graduate, and then survive immediate battles with this new, dangerous enemy?

Download or read book The Books of Ezekiel and Daniel written by Brian Simmons and published by BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The books of Ezekiel and Daniel relate dramatic visions of glory, apocalypse, and ultimate restoration. These revelations comforted the prophets’ fellow Babylonian exiles amid devastating chaos and upheaval. The book of Ezekiel bursts with vivid descriptions of heavenly visions, strong judgments, and incomprehensible divine love. Through it all, God’s powerful acts of justice and promises of undeserved covenant blessing display his heart for us to know and adore. The book of Daniel recounts timeless stories of heroes exhibiting unshakable faith and integrity amid their culture’s moral and ethical pressures. This extraordinary wisdom encourages and guides us today, while Daniel’s stunning apocalyptic visions provide assurance that God is at work even in the darkness of end times. We gain wisdom and confidence for today from these accounts of YAHWEH preserving his people in exile and majestically proclaiming his plan for their, and our, redemption. “You will be my people, and I will be your God. I will save you from everything impure within you.” Ezekiel 36:28–29

Download or read book Valkyrie Destined written by Alllyson Lindt and published by Acelette Press. This book was released on 2024-05-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azzie I’ve spent my entire life preparing to face a series of prophecies about me. The thing about training to be a badass, it doesn’t leave time for much else. When I meet Zeke, my counterpart, my prophetic equal, and the man I’m supposed to kill or be killed by, he’s been living his best life. And he’s happy to teach me about just having fun… loving… actually living, rather than trying to kill me. I’m torn between the new life Zeke offers, and the security I know I need from Davyn, the berserker who’s been my guardian longer than not. The bear shifter I’m thinking more and more non-badass thoughts about as time goes on. Inappropriate thoughts. Sexy thoughts. But the prophecies don’t give a crap who or what I want, and ignoring my destiny in favor of my heart may be tempting, but it won’t keep me alive. And it certainly won’t stop the gods I’m meant to defeat from bringing about the end of the world. Valkyries Rising is a #WhyChoose series where the heroine doesn’t have to pick just one mate. In these pages you'll find strong heroines who don’t back down, and the shifters, gods, dragons, and other immortals who love them and fight by their sides.
