The Church of the Firstborn


Book Description

Since the beginning of the earth, all of the Lord's prophets have looked with longing toward the end times, when the many promises of the Lord would be fulfilled and the Kingdom of God would finally be established upon the earth. With a larger canon than most religions, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have access to a great many doctrines regarding this topic. Yet the words of Isaiah, which were so plain and simple to Nephi, tend to mystify the Latter-day Saints. The words of Ezekiel go largely unread. The dire warnings in 3rd Nephi are casually skimmed over. Why?For one simple reason. The many verses of scripture related to the mysteries of the end times are scattered throughout the Standard Works like pieces of a great jigsaw puzzle. Individually, they are not clearly discernible to the casual reader. Yet when brought together, these puzzle pieces form a picture that is both beautiful and terrifying. The message of the future of the Church and the ushering in of the Church of the Firstborn have been carefully pieced together in this book, creating a single clear narrative of what to expect in the future by examining what has happened in the past. Join the authors in this journey of unraveling the carefully placed clues that the Lord intended for us to find.







On First Principles


Book Description

Origen’s On First Principles is a foundational work in the development of Christian thought and doctrine: it is the first attempt in history at a systematic Christian theology. For over a decade it has been out of print with only expensive used copies available; now it is available at an affordable price and in a more accessible format. On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity. Readers see Origen grappling with the mysteries of salvation and brainstorming how they can be understood. This edition presents G. W. Butterworth’s trusted translation in a new, more readable format, retains the introduction by Henri de Lubac, and includes a new foreword by John C. Cavadini. As St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Doctor of the Church, wrote: “Origen is the stone on which all of us were sharpened.”




The Firstborn Son


Book Description

This book brings an incredibly fresh perspective unlike any other before it to this topic of the firstborn. It challenges fathers, sons, mothers, and similar authority figures to embrace a long existed yet abandoned concept of the firstborn son that will serve us all effectively. The firstborn son has a covenant relationship with God the father for stability of the family and society (see Numbers 8:16-17, Romans 8:28-30, Colossians 1:15-16). The proper embrace of the institution of the firstborn son is crucial to thoroughly restoring the ill-beating heart of our society to its perfect rhythm. God's perspective is paramount. As opposed to an all-theoretical approach, challenging real life experiences of the author provide measurable results that can be methodically tracked to observe the expected progress when practiced. Key subject matter experts have also provided their approval of this material as you will notice on the book's reviews. Ezechiel "Zeke" Bambolo, Jr. was born in Liberia, West Africa, and came to the United States in 1991. Regardless of social and emotional trials, he became a very successful collegiate athlete and student. Ezechiel is a firstborn son who accepted the challenge of his father and embraced God's core values for this strategic role. He restored his family from utter chaos, destruction, and loss of a civil war after being forced to leave them in the danger of the war. Now married for over twelve years, he is a father of two beautiful children. He has spent over fourteen years in corporate America as an awardwinning consultant. Ezechiel serves as a deacon in his church and has been fully engaged in men's discipleships and accountability groups for over ten years.




Multiple Probations


Book Description

With the exception of Christianity, the major religions of the world have a peculiar doctrine in common. Though it goes by many names, the belief in Multiple Mortal Probations is held by most of earth's inhabitants, so why isn't it taught among Christianity? Traces of the doctrine can be found in the Bible, and other precious remnants of it are preserved in biblical apocryphal texts.Was the concept of multiple lives once taught among biblical peoples, but lost through the doctrinal biases of the members of the Second Council of Constantinople? If so, could this be the single potentially most unifying doctrine among all the world religions? Authors of this book explore these and other related questions providing an array of historical sources in this unique narrative.

Battle for the Firstborn


Book Description

Did the Exodus really happen as described in the Bible? Secular and even many Biblical scholars say "no." But one man, Ron Wyatt, an amateur archaeologist and avid student of the Scriptures, said "yes!" He believed the Bible to be an accurate record of historical events and forms the basis through which physical evidence should be interpreted. Through the lens of Scripture, he discovered several Biblical sites which are today recognized as authentic by many experts and scholars. This book documents Ron's relentless quest for the truth concerning the Exodus and the discoveries he made which answered several questions such as: - Who was the Biblical Joseph in ancient Egyptian history? - Who was "pharaoh's daughter" who rescued Moses? - Who was the amazing person in ancient Egypt who fits the profile of Moses perfectly? - Where is the location of the Red Sea crossing? - Who was the Exodus pharaoh who drowned in the Red Sea? - Was the firstborn son of the Exodus pharaoh whose life was taken by the "angel of death" really Tutankhamun, or "King Tut?" - What happened in Egypt after the demise of its pharaoh and army in the Red Sea? - Why did Ron and his sons spend 75 days in prison in Saudi Arabia, accused of being Israeli spies, after finding the real Mount Sinai? - What amazing evidence was found at Jericho? These and many other questions are answered in this fact filled book about Egyptian archaeology and the Biblical Exodus story. Many books have been written about these amazing events but none of them have been able to piece the two together until now! Battle for the Firstborn documents only some of the many discoveries God allowed Ron Wyatt to find, none of which Ron took personal credit for. Ron believed God preserved these findings for this time as we approach the end of all things as prophesied in the Scriptures.
