Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ... PREFACE. The passage of Holy Scripture which the writer of the following pages endeavours to elucidate, is one on which a large amount of labour has been expended, and no inconsiderable share of learning and ingenuity employed, by Biblical interpreters, in ancient, mediaeval, and modern times, in order to ascertain and exhibit its meaning. From the commencement of our era, at least, no century has elapsed, in which it has not, in some shape, been explained or commented on. Jewish and Christian theologians, in the east and in the west, have offered, in the form of commentary, or paraphrase, or translation, interpretations of the passage, according to their respective views: while writers of history, in the middle ages, have embodied, in their works, a widely-received version of the brief narrative which it contains. The opinions which have been propounded on the subject, are, as might be expected, various: and the languages in which these have been expressed, are many-- Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac, Ethiopic, Arabic, Greek, Latin, German, French, and English, being included in the number. The view which the present writer adopts, from a full conviction that it is the only admissible one, has been deemed not merely absurd, but impious and heretical, and is still regarded by many as, at the least, fanciful, and by some, it is to be believed, with a feeling of aversion so strong, that they avoid even an allusion to it, no doubt, lest they should appear to give it even a small measure of countenance. The opinions entertained, respecting the meaning of the passage, by Jewish and Christian writers, in ancient and mediaeval times, as well as by the principal modern commentators, are noticed in the following pages.

Angelology
Author: Danielle Trussoni
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101189983
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
A thrilling epic about an ancient clash reignited in our time--between a hidden society and heaven's darkest creatures There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. --Genesis 6:5 Sister Evangeline was just a girl when her father entrusted her to the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in upstate New York. Now, at twenty-three, her discovery of a 1943 letter from the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller to the late mother superior of Saint Rose Convent plunges Evangeline into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient conflict between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and humans, the Nephilim. For the secrets these letters guard are desperately coveted by the once-powerful Nephilim, who aim to perpetuate war, subvert the good in humanity, and dominate mankind. Generations of angelologists have devoted their lives to stopping them, and their shared mission, which Evangeline has long been destined to join, reaches from her bucolic abbey on the Hudson to the apex of insular wealth in New York, to the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris and the mountains of Bulgaria. Rich in history, full of mesmerizing characters, and wondrously conceived, Angelology blends biblical lore, the myth of Orpheus and the Miltonic visions of Paradise Lost into a riveting tale of ordinary people engaged in a battle that will determine the fate of the world.

Judgment of the Nephilim

Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
¿There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.¿ ¿ Genesis 6:4 6,000 years ago a war began. A war to rule Heaven and Earth that dates all the way back to the Garden of Eden. In the Garden, God told Satan that one day a woman would give birth to a male child - the Messiah, who would redeem humanity and destroy him. In order to prevent this child's birth, Satan instigated a fallen angelic rebellion. A group of angels broke off their allegiance to the Lord and entered the early realm to corrupt the human gene pool and prevent the Savior's birth. These fallen angels (¿sons of God¿) took human wives (¿daughters of men¿) and had children with them. Their offspring ¿ hybrid half-human, half-angelic beings, were superhuman giants known as the Nephilim. With human DNA corrupted and humanity hanging in the balance, The Lord unleashed a punishment against the Nephilim that was so severe, only Noah and his family would survive. This is the first comprehensive Biblical study of the Nephilim. Using only Scripture, we are given a complete picture of the war between two bloodlines ¿ the lineage of the Messiah and the seed of Satan. Exploring passages rarely connected to the giants, some of the most challenging questions in the Bible regarding the Nephilim will be answered, including:¿Why did Pharaoh order all male children to be thrown in the river and Herod execute all male children in Bethlehem?¿How were angels able to reproduce with human women?¿Who was the first human woman to marry the "sons of God"?¿How did the Nephilim return after the Flood and are there still Nephilim among us?The JUDGMENT OF THE NEPHILIM will give you a deeper appreciation of God's Word, His unwavering love and defense of the human race.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Rich in content and replete with warnings concerning the last days, this epistle of only twenty-five verses has often been neglected by students of God's Word. Jude: The Acts of the Apostes is a scholarly, practical exposition of this short but important New Testament book. The early development of a logical structural outline brings out Jude's inherent organization and progression of thought. Frequent reference is made to other outstanding commentaries, and difficult passages are clearly discussed. Jude: The Acts of the Apostates is a versatile commentary worthy of study by either the well-trained pastor or the inquiring layman.
