The Beauty of the Lord


Book Description

Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.

Creation Cries Out! The Mazzaroth


Book Description

Creation Cries Out! is the first book in The Original Revelation series. The 14 books in The Original Revelation clearly define the great deception, the false religion, the false messiah, the true Messiah, the Kingdom of God (Yahuah), and the renewed covenant. In this first book Creation Cries Out! we begin our search for the truth with a journey back to Creation to define the message written in the stars by our Creator Yahuah. We reclaim that message to His Glory. We will take a critical look at the origin of mankind, the fall of the angelic realm, myths of the gods that rules over humanity, myths of giants, myths of vampires, and more to help us understand the world in which our ancient ancestors lived. A world communicated throughout the Ages using Mythology as their means of communication. We'll look at the truth behind the myths. We'll explain the origin of the many "solar messiahs" throughout history, and much more. Creation Cries Out! 3rd Edition - The book of the Mazzaroth, is the most complete book ever written on what the Bible calls the Mazzaroth and what we today call the Zodiac. It is the Heavenly Scroll and source of all the prophets in the Bible. In the Mazzaroth the Plan of Salvation is laid out by the Creator and the Messiah's role is defined. In the Mazzaroth, we find the first prophesies of: - The Sabbath - The Ages of mankind - The first and second comings of the Messiah - The Messiah ben Joseph (suffering servant) - The Messiah ben David (conquering King) - The Fall and Spring Feast Cycles of Yahuah - The Wedding Portrait, the Bride and Bridegroom - The Two Houses of Israel - The source of all pagan kings and "Christs" - The age of individual life (70 years) ... and much more. In this book I explain how Yahuah used the Zodiac to witness the Gospel to all the prophets, Abraham, the Galatians, Sha'ul (Paul the Apostle), and John the revelator. I explain in detail the visions of Ezekiel, Daniel, and John in Revelation and how they were told to "Behold! The Heavenly Scroll" and described the Enoch Zodiac in great detail. I explain how the Mazzaroth/Zodiac is the real meaning behind the English word "heaven". I bring to light many scriptures throughout the Bible that are specifically speaking of the Zodiac/Heavenly Scroll. In this book, difficult concepts are explained in plain English. I address the question "does the Bible condemn the Zodiac, or proclaim it?" What is "divination", what is the difference between a Prophet and a Soothsayer? What is Astrology and is there a righteous example of it? This book is 430 pages of fully illustrated and well defined Truth that has alluded mankind since the creation of man. I explain how the message in the Zodiac has been perverted and the Battle of the Ages between the Truth of the Creator and sun worship comes down to the Zodiac. The false messiah is defined by the corrupted message found in the Zodiac. The True Messiah is the fulfillment of the Original Revelation from Yahuah to all mankind found written in the stars. This book lays the foundation for The Original Revelation Series.







Creation Care


Book Description

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible reveals a God whose creative power and loving care embrace all that exists, from earth and sky and sea to every creeping, crawling, swimming, and flying creature. Yet the significance of the Bible’s extensive teaching about the natural world is easily overlooked by Christians accustomed to focusing only on what the Bible says about God’s interaction with human beings. In Creation Care, part of the Biblical Theology for Life series, father and son team Douglas and Jonathan Moo invite readers to open their Bibles afresh to explore the place of the natural world within God’s purposes and to celebrate God’s love as displayed in creation and new creation. Following the contours of the biblical storyline, they uncover answers to questions such as: What is the purpose of the non-human creation? Can a world with things like predators, parasites, and natural disasters still be the ‘good’ world described in Genesis 1? What difference does the narrative of the ‘Fall’ make for humankind’s responsibility to rule over other creatures? Does Israel’s experience on the land have anything to teach Christians about their relationship with the earth? What difference does Jesus make for our understanding of the natural world? How does our call to care for creation fit within the hope for a new heaven and a new earth? What is unique about Christian creation care compared with other approaches to ‘environmental’ issues? How does creation care fit within the charge to proclaim the gospel and care for the poor? In addition to providing a comprehensive biblical theology of creation care, they probe behind the headlines and politicized rhetoric about an ‘environmental crisis’ and climate change to provide a careful and judicious analysis of the most up-to-date scientific data about the state of our world. They conclude by setting forth a bold framework and practical suggestions for an effective and faithful Christian response to the scriptural teaching about the created world. But rather than merely offering a response to environmental concerns, Creation Care invites readers into a joyful vision of the world as God’s creation in which they can rediscover who they truly are as creatures called to love and serve the Creator and to delight in all he has made.

Reading Revelation Responsibly


Book Description

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.
