Soviet Communism
Author: Beatrice Webb
Publisher: Young Press
ISBN: 9781473311374
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
This early work by Beatrice and Sidney Webb was originally published in 1935 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Soviet Communism: A New Civilisation? - Vol. I' is a work that details the social structure and principles of the USSR in the early part of the 20th century. Beatrice Potter Webb was born in Gloucester, England in 1858. Both her mother and brother died early in her childhood leaving her to be raised by her father, Richard Potter. He was a successful businessman with large railroad interests and many influential friends in politics and industry whose company the young Beatrice would become accustomed to. Upon reaching adulthood, Potter moved to London and helped her cousin, Charles, a social reformer, research his book The Life and Labour of the People in London. It was during this time that she was introduced to Sidney James Webb, who later became her husband and collaborator. The Webb's, together, wrote eleven volumes of work which arguably shaped the way subsequent scholars thought about sociology. They also collaborated on more than 100 books and articles on the conditions of factory workers, and the economic history of Britain, among other subjects.

King Yeshua’s Visitation
Author: Carmen Saunders
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489728252
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A passing away, or extinction, is knocking at the door and is underway. A great King has visited earth unbeknownst to the world. Only those who are awake as watchmen, open the door to Him. This passing away is fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. In King Yeshua’s Visitation, author Carmen Saunders offers a look at the fulfillment of prophecy, Yeshua’s Parousia, and the arrival of a spiritual kingdom throughout AD history. It offers another perspective on partial preterism. Part one of King Yeshua's Visitation is an in-depth investigation of scriptures that describes the relationship between biblical prophecies and the current state of our planet, which are two controversial issues that are aligning side by side. Scriptures speak of an impending extinction, a fiery destruction, and an awesome deliverance and an exodus of those who believe. Is it at such an urgent time as this that He gathers the Jews back to the land of Israel? From the viewpoint of a partial preterist, Saunders reviews the prophecies concerning the Roman Empire to this juncture. Who was the beast and how did he enter the holy temple during the AD 70 tribulation? Was Ezekiel's prophecy concerning Gog and Magog against Jerusalem actually the Crusades? Are the devastating droughts in many countries in recent decades a fulfillment of Zechariah 14? Who were the ten kings in prophecy? There was an end to the holy temple according to Daniel, now we see the end of life on this earth according to scripture. There are two signs in recent history that were given as a warning: the Titanic and the events with the Schindler Jews during Holocaust. King Yeshua’s Visitation communicates now is the time to humbly open the door to the King. It is a wake up call to everyone on the planet. Yeshua’s words come to pass without delay and the door to salvation is closing. This demands our attention above all else. This book makes the connection of the global crises unfolding prophetically. We are much further along in prophecy than many realize. Part two of King Yeshua's Visitation describes a visitation of a different kind, such as contacts between two dimensions and the God-established witnesses who testify for believers in salvation.
