Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
This book will take you on a remarkable journey of discovery into the identity of the Scarlet Woman who rides on the back of the scarlet beast which has seven heads and ten horns in Revelation 17. This mysterious vision is an important part of the Unveiling of the person of Christ to the Church in the last days. This is certainly one of the most neglected and misunderstood chapters on Bible prophecy within the Church today. In this book we will investigate the history, the present condition, and the future destiny of Mystery Babylon. For most this book will be revolutionary, shocking, groundbreaking, enlightening, inspiring, engrossing and challenging. I cannot emphasise strongly enough just how vital this book will be for all preachers and for the spiritual health and purity of all local churches. This is a prophetic warning from Christ through the written scriptures, as well as a highly practical guide, for the Bride of Christ in the 21st century in order to walk free from the deception of this spiritual and idolatrous harlot.

Pages : 305
Book Description
In 1965, an impoverished elderly woman was found dead in Nice, France. Her death marked the end of an era; she was the last of the great courtesans. Known as La Belle Otero, she was a volcanic Spanish beauty whose patrons included Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia. She accumulated an enormous fortune, but gambled it all away. Scarlet Women tells her story and many more, including: Marie Duplessis, who inspired characters by both Dumas and Verdi; Clara Ward, a rare American courtesan who hunted for a European aristocrat, but having married a Belgian prince, ran away with a gypsy violinist; Ninon de L'Enclos, who was offered 50,000 crowns by Cardinal Richelieu for one night. Money left in her will paid for Voltaire's education. Courtesans were an elite group of talented, professional mistresses. The most successful became wealthy and famous in their own right. While they led charmed lives, they occupied a curious position: they enjoyed freedom and political power unknown to most women, but they were ostracised by polite society. From the hetaerae of ancient Greece to the cortigiani onesti of 16th century Venice, the oiran of Edo-period Japan to the demimondaines of 19th century France, this captivating book--perfect for readers of A Treasury of Royal Scandals--uncovers the rich, colorful lives of these women who dared to pursue fortunes outside their societies' norms.

The Scarlet Woman and the Red Hand
Author: Joshua T. Searle
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630872253
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive description of how evangelicals in Northern Ireland interpreted the "Troubles" (1966-2007) in the light of how they read the Bible. The rich and diverse landscape of Northern Irish evangelicalism during the "Troubles" is ideally suited to this study of both the light and dark sides of apocalyptic eschatology. Searle demonstrates how the notion of apocalypse shaped evangelical and fundamentalist interpretations of the turbulent events that characterized this dark yet fascinating period in the history of Northern Ireland. The book uses this case study to offer a timely reflection on some of the most pressing issues in contemporary negotiations between culture and religion. Given the current resurgence of religious fundamentalism in the wake of 9/11, together with popular conceptions of a "clash of civilizations" and the so-called War on Terror, this book is not only an engaging academic study; it also resonates with some of the defining cultural issues of our time.
