It may be one of the most significant books you've ever read, as it connects deep spiritual truths to your life and to present-day global concerns.Have you ever wondered, "What in the world is wrong with all of us?" Don't worry, you really are seeing what you think you see! And billions around the planet share the same concerns. Is the world is truly falling apart, or is it that everything is simply coming together just as the Bible predicted?Gods and Thrones will pull back the veil on a number of eternally important considerations:· What really happened in the Garden of Eden, and how is it connected to clear New Testament declarations as well as today's global headlines? (Hint: It wasn't a talking snake convincing a woman to eat an apple)· What devastating event actually caused God to push the reset button during the days of Noah's Flood? What did Jesus mean when He said the period just before His return would be just like the Days of Noah? Have you ever seen the evidence within the Bible of how God has utilized a court-like assembly involving divine beings around His throne since the beginning of time? Did you know this assembly is, to this day, actively involved in the affairs of the nations? Did you know that God has two families? Even the New Testament is crystal clear concerning this truth, yet its significance is often missed by the bulk of today's Church. Is the world in the throes of being set up for a "visitation"? Why are internationally renowned world figures continually insisting that this idea be accepted by the global population? We are currently living in the most prophetic times since the first coming of Jesus Christ, and now, you are not only getting ready to discover why, you will finally understand. Thoroughly documented from a multitude of scholarly sources, bestselling author Carl Gallups will take you on an utterly unique biblical journey that will change your life!
