Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostasy Can Lead a Nation to Self-Destruct: Will America Mend Its Ways and Return to God? is the study of two nations separated in time by several thousand years. From their founding, both nations and their people, for untold generations, were consecrated and dedicated to God. Who are these nations? They are ancient Israel and America. Both nations were plagued with historical amnesia—the failure to pass on to future generations the story about the protection, blessings, and prosperity they had received at the hand of a loving and compassionate God. As a result, apostasy began to gain traction so that the people of each nation began replacing the worship of God with flourishing idolatry. What happened to ancient Israel is history. God waited patiently for the nation to return to him so that he could destroy its enemies and heal the nation. He patiently tolerated its defiance but finally declared his righteous judgment, allowing the evil Assyrians to destroy that nation, and ancient Israel disappeared from biblical history. The status of America remains in limbo as God waits patiently for America to respond positively to his plea to return to him while it defiantly marches to its impending doom. Time is running out! A chapter is included that is directed to the reader who is doubtful that America will return to God but is also concerned about the eternal destination of his soul should America be destroyed by a cataclysmic event.

Download or read book The Foreignness of the Foreign Woman in Proverbs 1 9 written by Nancy Nam Hoon Tan and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is on the figure אשה זדה and נכד׳ה, also commonly called the ‘Strange Woman’ in Proverbs 1-9. It is an attempt to understand the meaning which defines her, and the origin and development of her motif. The first part argues against defining her as a sexual predator, but as an ethnic foreigner according to the lexical studies of זד and נכד. It traces her origin within the Hebrew scripture, the legal documents and especially to the DtrH's portrayal of foreign women/wives. Hence, it distinguishes the two motifs: the motif of the adulteress and the motif of the foreign woman; the latter, which symbolizes the temptation to apostasy. The study will then go on to explain how the writer of Proverbs 1-9 employs this motif of the foreign woman in his poetic composition. The second part tracks the development of this motif through the subsequent Jewish Wisdom literature and observes how it changes and loses the ‘foreignness’ of her original motif in Eccl. 7:26; 4Q184; LXX Proverbs; Hebrew Ben Sira; Greek Ben Sira; and finally disappears in Wisdom of Solomon. It proffers to understand this gradual transformation against a background of social and religious change.

Download or read book Confessions of an Illuminati VOLUME II written by Leo Lyon Zagami and published by CCC Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After his master thesis of the secret societies network as outlined in Volume I, the Confessions of an Illuminati narrative of Leo Lyon Zagami is projected to the reality of today, including the occult maneuvers behind the New World Order. We need to wake up beyond our current belief systems, because the "controllers" of the New World Order are moving fast using the "Prophecies" to their advantage to implement their evil plan by 2020, when World War III will finally break loose. The author demonstrates that the hierarchy of power emanating from Rome and Jerusalem, with the Jesuits and the Zionist's united by a secret pact since the Second Vatican Council, are in cahoots working towards the creation of a world government. There is also China playing a new role in the NWO with the far reaching tentacles of Chinese Freemasonry manipulating economic Hit Men and disinformation artists, while Russia is building their Christian orthodox alliance to apparently oppose the Western antichrist. In this unprecedented scenario, we also have the involvement of the big media moguls like Ted Turner and Silvio Berlusconi and their role in manipulating perceptions. The author discusses further aspects of the Satanic infiltration of Freemasonry, pointing out on the generational aspect the many ways of defending yourself psychically against black magicians, but also against the many sects operating in the Illuminati Network.

Download or read book The Tabernacling Presence of God written by Susan Booth and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a large majority of believers agree that they should share their faith, most report that they, in fact, do not. That's not really all that surprising given today's pluralistic cultural setting. But maybe this same culture's longing for transcendence, community, and a place to call home points to a backstory that makes sense of it all. If such a narrative exists, it deserves a hearing, and those who know and live this story have both the responsibility and privilege of sharing its message of hope. The narrative of the Bible tells just such a story where God's purpose from the beginning has been to dwell--or tabernacle--in the midst of the people he has created. This book traces the theme of God's tabernacling presence across Scripture, reading the story afresh through a missional lens in order to gain insights for mission and gospel witness. The hope is that readers will awaken wide-eyed to the wonder of God's tabernacling presence in our midst, that we will live in such a way that others recognize this reality, and that we will boldly and joyfully share the good news of Jesus under the direction and power of his indwelling Spirit.
Download or read book Church on the Way written by Nell Becker Sweeden and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of Christian hospitality reaches back to the early centuries of Christian life as well as deep into Jewish history, life, and Scripture. This practice is alive today in Christian churches and in parachurch organizations within the United States, but new contextual realities--in particular twenty-first-century global migration patterns--have altered the conditions under which hospitality is practiced. The reality of migration and its effect on human lives disrupts static conceptions of hospitality and challenges ecclesial communities toward contextual appropriation of hospitality practice. This volume explores Christian hospitality practice in light of twenty-first-century U.S. Latino/a migration, and it develops the notion of a journeying hospitality of accompaniment with and among persons migrating, which fosters deeper relationships and formation. The shifting identities of persons "on the move" challenge assumptions about what it means to welcome another in hospitality and, ultimately, what it means to be church from within these new relationships. In turn, the new conceptions and expressions of hospitality offered in this book press how the nature and mission of the church will be oriented toward new ecclesial patterns and alternative forms of residing on earth.
