Pages : 198
Book Description
Will 2012 bring in the End of Times? With there be a great Battle or Apocalypse? What is the real truth behind the Book of Revelations? Many people both Christian and non-Christians alike have talked about what is revealed in the Book of Revelations. Some say it is an End of Times prophecy, others it is merely a dream or child's bedtime story. In The Book of Revelation Code Dr. Greszczyszyn displaces any mystery and reveals the only truth behind what Johns' revelation and Book of Revelations truly means for everyone. More than another spiritual interpretation, higher than some yogis idea of New Age Thought, the revelations shared within The Book of Revelation Code is simple enough that a child could read, with ideas so powerful and advanced that mystics, first century through present-time disciples of Christianity, theologists and spiritualists all can understand the truth behind what Satan is, why Satan was incorrectly given the number 666, how so many people are mistaken about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what Fire, Brimstone and Second Death truly describe. More than a book, The Book of Revelation Code is a masterpiece in religious and spiritual truth.

Revelations
Author: Elaine Pagels
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 110157707X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

The Revelation Code
Author: Andy McDermott
Publisher: Dell
ISBN: 1101965304
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
For fans of James Rollins and Matthew Reilly comes the next exciting, globe-trotting adventure in Andy McDermott’s explosive series featuring American archaeologist Nina Wilde and ex-SAS bodyguard Eddie Chase. The Bible’s last book hides a secret that could end the world. In the heart of Iraq, on the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a CIA special forces unit met with Arab rebels near long-hidden ancient ruins, a place from which the Americans were direly warned to stay away. But team member Ezekiel Cross didn’t listen and made an astounding discovery—one worth killing for. Now Cross is a ruthless cult leader on an ominous mission. Convinced that he’s unlocked the secrets of the Bible’s Book of Revelation, he’s determined to gather four stone angels that will trigger God’s promised End of Days. And he’s not alone. A former U.S. president, with a vision of all-out religious warfare, plays a role in the dark plot. But while Cross may have the clues to tracking down the remaining angels, he hasn’t been able to match them to real-world locations. For that he has coerced famed archaeologist Nina Wilde into assisting him, using her husband, ex–special forces soldier Eddie Chase, as collateral. With Eddie held hostage, Nina is forced to recover relics of untold power from Rome to Israel. She must find a way to halt Cross’s mad quest, because the last piece of the puzzle is at hand—and with it comes the most terrifying revelation of all. Praise for The Revelation Code “There is no end to the mischief that husband and wife team Eddie Chase and Nina Wilde can get into; no archaeological mystery is safe; and if X marks the spot you can bet that that’s where you’ll also find Nina and Eddie, no doubt looking a bit battered. . . . This is such a strong series and I can never get enough of it. The Revelation Code is a fine addition to it, combining a great plot and mystery with a new phase in Eddie and Nina’s relationship. I cannot wait to see what happens next. Nothing will be the same again.”—For Winter Nights “A fun, frantic read that moves along at a breakneck pace, even through heavy scenes of torture, religious insanity, and political posturing . . . big-time popcorn adventure fun, complete with a dose of history and humor.”—Beauty in Ruins

In God's Time
Author: Craig C. Hill
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 146743325X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Enormous confusion exists today concerning the Bible's teaching about the future. Millions of contemporary Christians are caught up in "rapture" fever, evidenced by the phenomenal success of the Left Behind novels. At the opposite end of the spectrum are those, such as the leaders of the Jesus Seminar, who believe that Jesus did not teach about the approaching Kingdom of God. In God's Time offers an alternative to these two poles in the debate, an alternative that is at once faithful and sane, readable and scholarly. Author Craig C. Hill encourages Christians both to take seriously and to think sensibly about the hope of God's ultimate victory. His new book includes chapters on the nature of the Bible, the history of prophecy, the meaning of apocalyptic writings, the interpretation of Daniel and Revelation, the expectations of Jesus, and the hopes of the early Christians. It also includes an appendix ("Not Left Behind") on the subject of the rapture. Endorsed by a wide array of top scholars and church leaders, In God's Time is a reliable guide to this often bewildering but always fascinating subject.

Author: Don Cerow
Publisher: Nicolas-Hays, Inc.
ISBN: 0892546395
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The book of Revelation encoded information and astrological data into a text whose mysterious symbols and dramatic storyline have fascinated and confused scholars and religious people for 2,000 years. This groundbreaking study demonstrates that the book of Revelation's ancient author(s) possessed extensive and sophisticated knowledge of the sky and the patterns therein that influenced the text's most dramatic prophesies, which were all based on observation of past events and calculations of future patterns. Don Cerow scientifically explains the astronomical facts of the vernal equinox and its changing relation to various stars and constellations. These various alignments and intersections herald great changes in the development of our planet. We learn how various historical events reflected certain astronomical alignments in the past and how we may anticipate the effects of such events in the future. The book includes numerous tables and black-and-white illustrations.

Book Description
Draw closer to God as you discover Jesus in every book of the Bible. We often assume Jesus is only in the New Testament. But the Bible is the Jesus Book and Christ appears in every book. The Old Testament conceals Him in type and shadow. The New Testament reveals Him in all His manifest glory. As Jesus revealed to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, He can be found “in all the Scriptures” (Luke 24:27). Jesus is the scarlet thread of redemption and can be found woven through every book in sacred Scripture. And as we learn to find Jesus in every verse, we realize His constant presence in our lives as well. In The Bible Code, bestselling author of The Joshua Code, O. S. Hawkins, takes you from Genesis to Revelation as he illuminates Scripture through the light of Christ. You will explore how: In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb. In Deuteronomy, He is the Bread of Life. In Song of Solomon, He is our Bridegroom. In Romans, He is our Justifier. In Colossians, He is the Creator God. In Revelation, He is the Alpha and the Omega. This inspiring book is perfect for personal enrichment and growth, for small groups, and adult Sunday School classes, but it is also an ideal gift for loved ones and friends for: Graduation Christmas Father’s Day Birthdays And other significant life events The Bible Code will take you on a journey to find Jesus in every book of the Bible. And, in finding Him, you find life…not just eternal life in the then and there, but abundant life in the here and now. And as you see Jesus’ redemptive story from Creation to eternity, you will draw closer to the God who has loved you from the beginning.
