Book Description
A number of the basic tenets of Jewish belief regarding the afterlife, resurrection, immortality, judgment, messianism, and the world to come are laid out in this fascinating and accessible volume. Beginning with the Bible’s references to Sheol and its allusions to resurrection, this survey explores immortality and bodily resurrection in Second Temple literature; the Mishnah’s discussions of olam ha-ba, or the world to come, and how to merit entry into it; and the Talmud’s depictions of paradise and hell, and the soul’s journey through these metaphysical landscapes. The book also explores the views of medieval scholars such as Maimonides and Nahmanides, Jewish mystical teachings about reincarnation, and modern views of faith and belief, as well as the evolving view of the Messiah over the course of Jewish history. This absorbing study demonstrates that the afterlife is indeed a vital part of Judaism as it reveals how generations of Jews, from biblical times to the present, have grappled with the core ideas and beliefs about the hereafter.

Rory Noland addresses the challenges of Christian worship head-on, offering practical suggestions gleaned from Scripture on understanding and experiencing vibrant worship.

Heaven on Earth
Author: R. Alan Streett
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
ISBN: 0736949143
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The future hope of heaven is pulled into the here-and-now in this illuminating description of the kingdom of God. Popular teacher and author R. Alan Streett exposes half-truths about the kingdom that many believers have unwittingly accepted. He contrasts these with the testimony of Scripture: Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of God on the earth—it has already begun. As ambassadors of the kingdom, we are to fulfill our responsibilities and enjoy its benefits here and now. Salvation does not culminate with the soul escaping the body and living forever in heaven. Our bodies will eventually be transformed, and we will live with God on a restored earth. The church is like an embassy of heaven in a foreign country. In their life together, believers demonstrate kingdom realities to the world. Readers will find hope and direction in this fresh presentation of the historic teaching on the kingdom.

Exploring Secrets of the Heavenly Realm: Mysteries of the Second Heaven Explained
Author: Bruce Hines
Publisher: Exploring Secrets of the Heave
ISBN: 9781970062007
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
The most advanced book on Spiritual Warfare to date (Vol 1 of a series) - Learn the difference between demon and Fallen Angels!! The beginning of this book is a complete guide to Spiritual Warfare. Then Bruce Hines moves to detail a vast group of Fallen Angels and demonic spirits that have a highly structured organization of levels and grades according to numbers. Within this hierarchy, they are organized as a kingdom of four different dimensions in the Second Heaven. These different Fallen Angels within each of the four dimensions have descending orders of authorities and different rulers and sub rulers according to grade and number responsible for different areas of authority in the Second Heaven which rule over the earth through the minds of mankind. This multi-leveled kingdom of Fallen Angels has hordes of demonic spirits who work for them. The Fallen seek to create environments in which they exercise a dominating influence through demonic activity. The Bible speaks of the Fallen Angels as the corner point or the start of something. They are pictured as military leaders of demonic realms. The Bible labels them as thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. They have far superior power than demonic forces and have particular roles in controlling the destiny and activities of human beings. This book is the first of a series on how to defeat Fallen Angels and demonic forces that work for them. It assumes the reader knows about spiritual warfare but, it was written to advance the one who knows very little about spiritual warfare. This series is a must read for every intercessor and recommended for everyone in the body of Christ!

Pages : 336
Book Description
In recent years, more and more Christians have come to appreciate the Bible's teaching that the ultimate blessed hope for the believer is not an otherworldly heaven; instead, it is full-bodied participation in a new heaven and a new earth brought into fullness through the coming of God's kingdom. Drawing on the full sweep of the biblical narrative, J. Richard Middleton unpacks key Old Testament and New Testament texts to make a case for the new earth as the appropriate Christian hope.
