Messianic Prophecy Revealed


Book Description

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION DECODED The Old Testament isn’t just a collection of traditions from one group of people—it’s about Jesus as the key to salvation. After reading this book, you will have no doubts that Jesus is the Messiah, and you will be able to read the Old Testament with the newfound revelation that God has been pointing to His Son as the Savior of the world for thousands of years. Many times, when inquisitive readers look to see how the New Testament authors applied the Old Testament to show that Jesus is the Messiah, they become confused. When the Gospel writers quote Old Testament scriptures and say, “This is how Jesus fulfilled it,” the passage quoted doesn’t appear to be a prophecy at all. This is because understanding Messianic prophecy is often more of an art than a science. Messianic prophecy is not simply the measurement of specific prophecies about the future that Jesus fulfilled. In the Hebrew tradition, prophecy is not one-dimensional; it is not simply foretelling the future. In reality, the whole of Scripture is prophetic, pointing us to Christ. In Messianic Prophecy Revealed, Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider takes readers through the Word of God, showing them how the New Testament writers took passages out of the Old Testament to prove that Jesus is indeed the Messiah. It’s a subject that sounds simple but is, in fact, more complex than many realize. This book will show followers of Jesus why they can have absolute confidence that Jesus is who He claimed to be—the Messiah.




Revealing the Mysterion


Book Description

Scholars largely agree that the NT term “mysterion” is a terminus technicus, originating from Daniel. This project traces the word in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other sectors of Judaism. Like Daniel, the term consistently retains eschatological connotations. The monograph then examines how mystery functions within 1 Corinthians and seeks to explain why the term is often employed. The apocalyptic term concerns the Messiah reigning in the midst of defeat, eschatological revelations and tongues, charismatic exegesis, and the transformation of believers into the image of the last Adam.




Revealing My Story


Book Description

Christine started life as a church girl who abandoned her religious upbringing. She ended up a high school dropout, drug addict, criminal, and victim of sexual assault. Her crooked path continued when she landed in prison. Through it all, her mother prayed. The power of her mother’s faith interceded on Christine’s behalf when she had lost all hope. Revealing My Story is told with total transparency. Part memoir and part testimony about the saving grace of God, this book will inspire others who have sinned. Do not lose hope because you, too, can be born again. Christine’s painful story is also intended to inspire and encourage mothers whose children have strayed away from their Christian values. Christine’s mother held onto the horns of the altar, fasting, wailing, and travailing on her behalf. Her mother’s prayers and unconditional love transformed Christine’s life by the grace of God. Don’t give up! No matter how difficult, don’t stop praying. The Lord is listening and ready to save you from yourself.




That Prophet Revealed


Book Description

That Prophet Revealed brings a detailed description of the prophecies of the Old and New Testament, citing sources from Jewish and Christian texts. It brings forward the coming of Elias, the Messiah and "That Prophet" who was described in earlier times. By comparing Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them), it is able to clearly show the presence of Muhammad (pbuh) in the Bible and his closeness to Moses (pbuh) in a variety of ways. By examining references to the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) from Biblical, Quranic and historical sources, That Prophet Revealed exposes the false notions that obscure the connection of the Arabs and the Last Prophet of Islam to the earlier Prophets of monotheism. Through the examination of the clear covenant of God given to early monotheistic Prophets and Messengers and the hidden descriptions of Prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and his family, as portrayed in this work, will attempt to unearth one of the greatest cover-ups in history.

The Messiah Revealed in Prophecy


Book Description

for the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? (Isa 14:26-27 NIV) Biblical prophecy is not simply insight into future events. It is more than that, for it reveals Gods plan and purpose, and imparts an understanding of His purpose to humanity. In this book, Cushroo Bejon explores the significance of the prophetic scriptures in relation to the birth, life, crucifixion, resurrection and exaltation of Jesus. His findings are conclusive: it cannot be mere coincidence that these ancient scriptural prediction find their fulfillment in the life of Jesus, rather, they provide clear evidence that the Bible is the Word of God, and that Jesus is the messiah, God’s Son.
