How John Wrote the Book of Revelation: From Concept to Publication
Author: Kim Mark Lewis
Publisher: Kim Mark Lewis
ISBN: 1943325022
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
How John Wrote the Book of Revelation is the first of its kind, and introduces genetic literary reconstruction to Biblical studies. It enables the reader to produce prior drafts of Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, thereby allowing the reader to apply the literary science of genetic criticism to a book in the Bible. How John Wrote the Book of Revelation takes the most difficult book to understand in the Christian Scriptures and reveals the sequence in which it was written, from the very first line to the final parallel. This provides the reader, for the first time, with the experience of observing how a Biblical book was written, and does this from an intimate perspective, as though they were looking over John's shoulders as he crafted it. How John Wrote the Book of Revelation is the first book that teaches the reader how to read Revelation the way it was written. After centuries of blind guess work trying to divine meaning, and weak interpretations of symbols, this book finally presents a clear, precise, and consistent method. It is a guidebook to identify all the rich symbols and their meanings within Revelation. Inside the pages of this book is the all-encompassing theory of construction for the book of Revelation. It includes three prior drafts of the book of Revelation, along with hundreds of charts and illustrations. How John Wrote the Book of Revelation is like no other book that has been written before, and sets a new paradigm for all Biblical works.

Three Angels, One Message
Author: John T. Anderson
Publisher: Review and Herald Pub Assoc
ISBN: 0828026580
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Now would be a good time to remember the angels' instructions. The Three Angels' Message comprise only seven of Revelation's 404 verses--a tiny percentage of what John the revelator recorded. Yet as God's final warning to a world enamored with sin, these cryptic messages are highly significant. What exactly is God warning the world about, though? And how is this warning relevant to you, considering what is currently happening in our world? If it's so important, why isn't this portion of Scripture as well known as the Ten Commandments or the golden rule? Within these pages John Anderson examines individual words and phrases to decipher clues embedded in the original language, and searches the Bible for the context in which each word is used. His careful investigation uncovers the veiled meaning of these messages by comparing scripture with scripture--and reveals just how urgent God's warning is to every human on this planet today.

Life of a Song
Author: Jan Dalley
Publisher: Nicholas Brealey
ISBN: 1473670470
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Who knew that Paul McCartney originally referred to Yesterday as 'Scrambled Eggs' because he couldn't think of any lyrics for his heart-breaking tune? Or that Patti LaBelle didn't know what 'Voulez-vous couches avec moi ce soir?' actually meant? These and countless other fascinating back stories of some of our best-known and best-loved songs fill this book, a collection of the highly successful weekly The Life of a Song columns that appear in the FT Weekend every Saturday. Each 600-word piece gives a mini-biography of a single song, from its earliest form (often a spiritual, or a jazz number), through the various covers and changes, often morphing from one genre to another, always focusing on the 'biography' of the song itself while including the many famous artists who have performed or recorded it. The selection covers a wide spectrum of the songs we all know and love - rock, pop, folk, jazz and more. Each piece is pithy, sparkily written, knowledgeable, entertaining, full of anecdotes and surprises. They combine deep musical knowledge with the vivid background of the performers and musicians, and of course the often intriguing social and political background against which the songs were created.

Revelation of John the Apostle
Author: Richard D. Draper
Publisher: Brigham Young University Studies
ISBN: 9781942161080
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
To read the book of Revelation is to see a myriad of representations pass by our gaze, offering and kaleidoscope of bizarre and incongruent images. This world strikes us at first as fearfully and mysteriously strange and fantastic. But once these symbols are properly deciphered, they combine to present crucial messages for those living in the last days. These messages were designed by God to lead all successfully through these troubled times if they will read, hear, and do his will. This commentary presents a comprehensive analysis of John's book aided by the lens of LDS doctrine and Mormon experience. God delivered his messages in the form of images housed within discrete visions, with each symbol explaining, exposing, or emphasizing various aspects of the message conveyed. The challenge is getting beyond the symbols to the represented realities. Information is drawn from all the Standard Works, the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, and from modern Prophets and Apostles.
