Book Description
Suppose you had to fight a war in a place you could not go. So you sent warriors protected in specially made armor to do the fighting for you. For thousands of years you sent them. For thousands of years they fought and died in your name only to be resurrected and returned, again and again, ever engaged in an eternal war, waged by immortal warriors. Now suppose the device to grant them infinite life has been stolen by your enemy who now has the power to existence-erase your warriors forever. A science fiction horror story set in the Sixth Millennium, the first book of the apocrypha trilogy is told in a tense gothic style immersed in Anglican and Norse myth and lore. Chronicling the quest for the lost Ark of Souls, Odyssey into Oblivion takes you into an alien civilization on the verge of redemption and resurrection. A culture very similar to our own and every bit as terrifying. What thing exists so vile, that Good and Evil have joined forces against it? You have plunged into a galaxy deep in war. Fought light years beyond the Dark Ages, the Empire of the Known Realm is heavily engaged in grim conflict against cunning enemies struggling for their own survival amidst the savage stars. The adventure before you and the Great Galactic Crusade that you are about to undertake, chronicles the Legends and Legions of two embattled Empires and that of their allies in their race for everlasting salvation or eternal extinction. Racing across eternity, every infinite inch is measured in human lives. And for Mankind, time and souls are running out at the speed of light. Spanning timeless dimensions and fathomless space, it is a war of attrition waged between the Apostates of the Apocalypse and the ancient Apostles of Armageddon. It is an Age of dark science and deep secrets. A time when the Legions of the Lord battled the Dominions of the Dark Forces raging throughout the Astral Heavens of Valhalla and the Known Realm, where the stars have long ago descended into darkness. Yet to conquer the Cosmos completely means to triumph in the holy quest for the lost Codelax, the divine celestial instrument that is the creator of souls. For whomsoever possesses it, holds the fate of all else. For with its sacred powers, it is decided who is reborn into the physical world and whose soul is forever cast into the black void. Miraculously, the Codelax's beacon, code named 'Pale Vector,' is traced to a lost world deep in a remote part of the Trident galaxy. Operation 'Phantom Finder' commences as three Star*Ships are sent on a clandestine mission to the small planet christened KHT-21. There, astonishing discoveries are made. Discoveries that must be kept secret at all cost.

While Creed lives, there is hope. While there is breath in the body of a single defender, Cadia Stands… but for how much longer?

In His Name

Pages : 698
Book Description
*Introduction *Paganism and Christianity *Donation of Constantine. *Destruction of the Old Testament and Talmud. *Celibacy Doctrine of Demons 1 Corinthians 9.5, 1 Timothy 4.3 *American Christianity. *Bible. *Crucifixion. *Confession *Crusades *Death penalty Capital punishment/Right of the Sword *Earth is flat. *Emperor Constantine *Early Vegetarian Christians. *Fire *God is White *Conclusion For nearly two millenniums Christianity has been compulsory, its will mandated upon their unsuspecting victims; taunting them, persecuting them, imprisoning them, torturing them, and, if need be, murdering them. Few records survive regarding the true history of Christianity that are not written by dogmatic Christian writers; almost all historical documents, manuscripts, and scrolls disagreeing with Christian interpretations of Scripture having been lost or destroyed. The First Crusade, after a rough beginning, the “Beggars' Crusade,” 1095-1099, is composed of thieves and beggars, finally managed to capture Jerusalem and much else beside, setting up a series of Crusader states to protect their gains. These managed pretty well until 1144, when the counterattacking Muslims took a couple of important Christian strongholds. “Many Franks had been sent on the crusade as penance for atrocious offenses such as rape and murder and reverted to their unpleasant habits. Pilgrims were a natural prey, though one of the principal objects of the crusade had been to make the Holy Places safe for them. The Monks of War, D. Seward, p. 33 Today, the Vatican, in all its glory, in all its magnificence, in all its entire splendor, stands as a tribute to the overwhelming magnitude of the crimes of the Church, in its quest for world dominance. Its history veiled in religious platitudes to appease the ignorant masses that often know little or nothing of the heinous crimes committed in the name of Jesus Christ; their God and Savior.

The Book of Prophecies
Author: Christopher Columbus
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1592446485
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Christopher Columbus returned to Europe in the final days of 1500, ending his third voyage to the Indies not in triumph but in chains. Seeking to justify his actions and protect his rights, he began to compile biblical texts and excerpts from patristic writings and medieval theology in a manuscript known as the Book of Prophecies. This unprecedented collection was designed to support his vision of the discovery of the Indies as an important event in the process of human salvation - a first step toward the liberation of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim domination. This work is part of a twelve-volume series produced by U.C.L.A.'s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies which involved the collaboration of some forty scholars over the course of fourteen years. In this volume of the series, Roberto Rusconi has written a complete historical introduction to the Book of Prophecies, describing the manuscript's history and analyzing its principal themes. His edition of the documents, the only modern one, includes a complete critical apparatus and detailed commentary, while the facing-page English translations allow Columbus's work to be appreciated by the general public and scholars alike.
