Church has become a show, a place to socialize and a place to use for an hour a week to "make" (?!?) God happy.

The Syrian Uprising and Signs Of The Hour

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
The world will soon see change, this book discusses those changes and covers the end of America, the end of the Arabs, the rise of Europe and the Mahdi's Army who will face them. It outlines this future from both the Islamic and Christian religions and shows how they point towards the same future. Many of Islams major scholars have written works on the Signs of the Hour, in which they have arranged the narrations (ahadith) in the chronological order they understood the events would occur in. The Prophet (saws) said: “The signs shall appear one after the other like the beads on a string follow one another (when the string is cut).” The Signs began to appear in our lifetime and have been following each other one by one, this is clear by the acceptance of most scholars that the minor signs of the hour have all been fulfilled and we are about to witness it’s first major sign. Syria has been mentioned by the prophet (saws) in relation to events that will mark the nearness of the hour. This Book, now in it's 2nd edition and largely expanded, looks at these narration’s and identifies the events the prophet (saws) spoke about, chronologically arranging them to give us the timeline the prophet (saws) intended us to have; Abu Zaid Al-Ansaaree (ra) said, “The Prophet led us in the morning prayer, after which he climbed the pulpit and addressed us until Dhuhr (noon). He descended, prayed 'Asr (the late afternoon prayer), and then climbed the pulpit again, speaking to us until the setting of the sun. He spoke to us about what was and what will be; he informed us (thereof) and made us memorize (that information).” (Ahmad) Hudhayfah (ra) said: "The Prophet stood up one day to speak to us, and told us everything that was going to happen until the Hour, and left nothing unsaid. Some of the listeners learnt it by heart, and some forgot it; these friends of mine learnt it. I do not remember it completely, but sometimes it springs to mind, just as one might remember and recognize the face of a man whom one had forgotten, when one sees him." (Abu Dawud, Muslim) This Book is an entirely new work, dealing with the subject matter from a modern context. Previous works regarding the signs of the Hour have been simple translations of Imam Ibn Kathir's book's with out much being done to update his chronology that is now hundreds of years old and to identify the events he mentioned. This Book takes the accounts of the prophet and identifies them giving an entirely more accurate chronology than was previously possible, from this effort the clearest picture yet emerges of the state of the world and its future, which we have corroborated with multiple sources all essentially saying the same thing. No. Pgs: 418 A4, Approx. Table Of Contents: 1 The Hour Has Cast It’s Shadow 2 From The Prophet’s Time To Ours 3 Signs Of The Hour 4 Syria The Land Of Mercy 5 A Time Frame Between The War In Syria and The Mahdi (r.a) 6 The Era Of The Duhaima (Sep 11th) The Worst Fitnah Before The Dajjaal 7 Ahadith On The Sanctions Of Iraq and The Sanctions To Be Placed On Syria and Then Egypt 8 The Rule Of The Ruwaybidah - The Corruptors Of Society 9 The Khawarij: The Name Of The Most Evil People In Our Time 10 The Events Leading Up To The Emergence Of Imam Mahdi 11 America In Previous Scriptures 12 America The Beginning Of The End 13 The End Of America 14 The People Of The Maghreb and The People Of The East 15 Imam Mahdi and The Great War Armageddon 16 The Dajjaal His Followers and His Place Of Emergence 17 The Trial Of The Dajjaal (Anti Christ) Research Notes and Related Material 1 Human Physiology and It’s Relationship To Baraka 2 What Is The Unseen World and Where Is It: Explaining The Technical Terminology Of The Scholars 3 The Jewish Origins Of The Pashtun and Surrounding Areas 4 Ahadith Not Chronologically Arranged In This Work 5 The 30 Dajjaal’s 6 Nu’aym Ibn Hammad (ra) 7 Methodology: Chronological Order Of Ahadith 8 The Book Of Revelations Continued 9 The End of America Continued 10 The Dream Of the Prophet Daniel: The Ottomans, The British and America 11 Daniel Interprets The Dream Of Nebuchadnezzar 12 Timeline: Modern Islamic History 13 Divide and Conquer: Heretical Separatists In Islamic lands 14 Nationalism Is Created In Egypt 15 The Islamist Call To Westernize The Wests Call To Islamise 16 The Maqasid (Objectives) Of Shariah: A Closer Look 17 Media Snippets 18 Dua

Daniel's Prophesy
Author: Tom Butler
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595485952
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Daniel, a young Jewish man taken by the Babylonians as they overrun Jerusalem, is brought to Babylon to serve the great King Nebuchadnezzar. Once there, Daniel begins an incredible journey as he becomes ruler over the province of Babylon, receives visits from archangels, and ultimately, stands in the presence of God. This is all brought about because Daniel chooses to worship God, and because of this, God blesses Daniel with incredible wisdom and insight to interpret "visions and dreams of all kinds." On two occasions Daniel and his friends are faced with the command to worship false gods or be killed. But, in some of the most miraculous events of the entire Bible, God intervenes and keeps them from sure death. Because of the blessing from God, Daniel is able to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's troubling dream about the future of four powerful kingdoms from the time of King Nebuchadnezzar right up until the time of Jesus Christ's return when God's everlasting kingdom will finally be ushered in. God reveals three powerful kingdoms that will succeed Babylon and carry on their traditions of religion and worship. As you read this book you'll be surprised to learn what kingdom we're now in, how the Babylonian religious system is all around us, and what God says is in store in the future for the nations. Just as in the time of Daniel, those who make the choice to worship the true God today will be blessed with understanding during this turbulent time at the end of the age.

Worship, Music, and Interpretation
Author: Wendy J. Porter
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 443
Book Description
This unique volume brings together wide-ranging research that could only be written by someone singularly expert in the full range of Christian worship and music from ancient to modern. These essays by Wendy Porter span eras and areas of study from the New Testament to the present and encompass an expansive view of worship, music, and liturgy. Some focus on what is known (or not) about early Christian worship, including the early creeds and hymns in the New Testament and whether music originated in Jewish or Greco-Roman contexts. Some introduce firsthand work on ancient liturgical manuscripts, such as a sixth-century manuscript by hymnwriter and preacher Romanos Melodus or a tenth-century ekphonetic liturgical manuscript. Extending her research on sixteenth-century English composers as musical interpreters, Porter includes several papers on how musicians have functioned as theological interpreters in worship and music. One chapter engages theological comparisons between well-known compositions by Bach, Beethoven, and Stravinsky, another creatively explores what contemporary worship leaders can learn from sixteenth-century songwriter and worship leader William Byrd, while others invite thoughtful reflection on what we can all learn if we stop to consider how Christians have functioned and fared in their worship through the centuries.
