Revelation Revealed

Autor: Nick Peros

Número de Páginas: 498

Revelation Revealed is a study of the book of Revelation. It is not an "end-times" book in that it does not seek to identify current events in the light of Bible prophecy; rather, Revelation Revealed examines the book of Revelation itself--what are its key imagery and symbols? What do they mean? What are the timelines of the book? What is the sequence of events? What are the Days of Noah? Who is "the Beast" and how do we understand him? What is the "mark of the Beast"? How do we understand "Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes"? Is there a rapture? All of these questions, and many more, are addressed, with all questions being approached exclusively from the standpoint of Scripture itself--it is Scripture which answers these questions for us, and clear conclusions are reached. The events outlined in the book of Revelation are the most-prophesied events in the Bible, and Revelation Revealed shows that the book of Revelation is understandable, for God has given us all that we need in order to understand it.

Aurora

Consequences follow actions. Actions determine worthiness. Worthiness costs more than believed. When 118-year-old warrior Aurora is banished to Earth from her home world—the Gold Planet of Andorra—she loses her powerful sword and Special Power (the ability to control fire). On Earth, Aurora finds herself in the world of the Death Givers—a superhero organization tasked with stopping the dreaded Disappearances (kidnappings) from overwhelming the nation of Blood Dawn (formerly known as North America). While helping the Death Givers stop the Disappearances, Aurora struggles with keeping her true identity—she is a vampire!—from Earth’s humans and deciding where exactly a romance with one of the Death Givers fits into the life that she becomes a part of. Will Aurora return home and regain her sword and her Special Power after her reckless actions ignite a deadly war? Or will she fall victim to a sacrifice curse that will cost her everything, including her worthiness and her life?

Revelation

Número de Páginas: 987

The Book of Revelation contains some of the most difficult passages in Scripture. Grant Osborne's commentary on Revelation interprets the text while also introducing readers to the perspectives of contemporary scholarship in a clear and accessible manner. Osborne begins with a thorough introduction to Revelation and the many difficulties involved in its interpretation. He discusses authorship, date of writing, and the social and cultural setting of the work. He also examines elements that complicate the interpretation of apocalyptic literature, including the use of symbols and figures of speech, Old Testament allusions, and the role of prophetic prediction. Osborne surveys various approaches commentators have taken on whether Revelation refers primarily to the past or to events that are yet future. Rather than exegeting the text narrowly in a verse-by-verse manner, Osborne examines larger sections in order to locate and emphasize the writer's central message and the theology found therein. Throughout, he presents his conclusions in an accessible manner. When dealing with particularly problematic sections, he considers the full range of suggested interpretations and introduces the...

All Power to the Lamb

Número de Páginas: 582

If you were God, writing a book you wanted men to understand, would you write it in such a way that men would have to make up meaning in order to understand it, or would you write it in such a way that those that seek to understand could actually come to a knowledge of its truth (Mt 7:7)? The present commentary takes the position that God wrote Revelation such that with sufficient effort and intellectual honesty, readers can understand it. Certainly God uses symbols in Revelation, but when He does, He provides inspired interpretations of the symbols. This commentary seeks to avoid the mistakes of the views that use the symbolical approach to Revelation (preterist, continuous historical, spiritualist, and idealist). These approaches suffer from two basic flaws: assuming the text is symbolical when it is not and making up meaning regarding the text based on stream of consciousness word association, much as one would do looking at Rorschach inkblots. This commentary seeks to avoid telling God what He should have said and strives to understand what God actually meant. Of all the existing approaches to understanding Revelation, this commentary is most closely aligned with the...

The Greatest Lie on Earth (Expanded Edition)

Autor: Edward Hendrie

Número de Páginas: 1043

This book reveals the mother of all conspiracies. It sets forth biblical proof and irrefutable evidence that will cause the scales to fall from your eyes and reveal that the world you thought existed is a myth. The most universally accepted scientific belief today is that the earth is a globe, spinning on its axis at a speed of approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator, while at the same time it is orbiting the sun at approximately 66,600 miles per hour. All of this is happening as the sun, in turn, is supposed to be hurtling through the Milky Way galaxy at approximately 500,000 miles per hour. The Milky Way galaxy, itself, is alleged to be racing through space at a speed ranging from 300,000 to 1,340,000 miles per hour. What most people are not told is that the purported spinning, orbiting, and speeding through space has never been proven. In fact, every scientific experiment that has ever been performed to determine the motion of the earth has proven that the earth is stationary. Yet, textbooks ignore the scientific proof that contradicts the myth of a spinning and orbiting globe. Christian schools have been hoodwinked into teaching heliocentrism, despite the clear...

The End of Times

Autor: Roy Burger , Julia Burger

Número de Páginas: 232

The interpretation of end-time prophecy is not an easy venture. To make matters worse, most of the authors who have interpreted the metaphors have in fact added their opinions instead of studying the revelations as the Lord intended. So how do we catch the message of the Lord instead of being misled by our own interpretations? The End of Times can help us to interpret the will of God, since his revelations are written throughout the Word and we need to humbly understand his thoughts. Authors Roy and Julia Burger invite believers to join them in a search through the Bible to uncover the intentions of God behind the symbolism—thus gaining the knowledge of God. They also provide other views that may have gone astray of the Word, comparing scriptures and letting the Word speak for itself. Colossians 1:10 (NASB) reads “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Because the end times are approaching, now is the time to heed this divine wisdom and listen to God directly.

Revelation 12-22 (ITC)

Autor: Peter J. Leithart

Número de Páginas: 475

The Book of Revelation is the last book in the canon of the New Testament, and its only apocalyptic document, though there are short apocalyptic passages in various places in the gospels and the epistles. This second of two volumes on Revelation offers a systematic and thorough interpretation of the latter chapters of the book. Revelation brings together the worlds of heaven, earth and hell in a final confrontation between the forces of good and evil. Its characters and images are both real and symbolic, spiritual and material, and it is frequently difficult to know the difference between them, Revelation's cryptic nature has ensure that it would always be a source of controversy. This commentary focuses on the theological content, gleaning the best from both the classical and modern commentary traditions and showing the doctrinal development of Scriptural truths. Scholarship on the book of Revelation has nonetheless not only endured, but even captured the imagination of generations of Bible students, both professionals and laypeople alike. Through its focus on the message of the book through scholarly analysis, this ITC reconnects to the ecclesial tradition of biblical commentary ...

The Four Modes of Seeing

Autor: Elizabethcarson Pastan

Número de Páginas: 611

Borrowing its title from Madeline Harrison Caviness's influential work on the modes of seeing articulated by the twelfth-century cleric Richard of Saint Victor, this interdisciplinary collection brings together the work of thirty scholars from England, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States. Each author has contributed an original article that engages with ideas formulated in Caviness's wide-ranging scholarship. The historiographic introduction discusses themes in Caviness's publications and their importance for art historical and medieval studies today. The book's thematic matrix groups together essays concerned with: The Material Object, Documentary Reconstruction, Post-Disciplinary Approaches, Multiple Readings, Gender and Reception, Performativity, Text and Image, Collecting and Consumption, and Politics and Ideology. The contributors include curators, art historians, historians, and literary scholars. Their subjects range from medieval stained glass to the nineteenth-century Gothic Revival, the Sachsenspiegel, and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Many foreground issues of gender, reception, and textuality, which have permeated Caviness's...
