Book Description

Christopher Columbus returned to Europe in the final days of 1500, ending his third voyage to the Indies not in triumph but in chains. Seeking to justify his actions and protect his rights, he began to compile biblical texts and excerpts from patristic writings and medieval theology in a manuscript known as the Book of Prophecies. This unprecedented collection was designed to support his vision of the discovery of the Indies as an important event in the process of human salvation - a first step toward the liberation of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim domination. This work is part of a twelve-volume series produced by U.C.L.A.'s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies which involved the collaboration of some forty scholars over the course of fourteen years. In this volume of the series, Roberto Rusconi has written a complete historical introduction to the Book of Prophecies, describing the manuscript's history and analyzing its principal themes. His edition of the documents, the only modern one, includes a complete critical apparatus and detailed commentary, while the facing-page English translations allow Columbus's work to be appreciated by the general public and scholars alike.

Book Description

Nostradamus (Michel de Nostradame) was born on December 14, 1503 in St. Remy, Provence, France. Nostradamus came from a long line of Jewish doctors and scholars. He is considered by many as one of the most famous and important writers of history prophecies. He is famous mainly for his book 'The Prophecies, ' consisting of quarantine in rhyme. Supporters of the trustworthiness of these prophecies attribute to Nostradamus the ability to predict an incredible number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the Atomic bomb, the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the attacks of 11 September 2001. However, no one has ever proved that Nostradamus's quarters can provide reliable data for the foreseeable future. Nostradamus had the visions which he later recorded in verse while staring into water or flame late at night, sometimes aided by herbal stimulants, while sitting on a brass tripod. The resulting quatrains (four line verses) are oblique and elliptical, and use puns, anagrams and allegorical imagery. Most of the quatrains are open to multiple interpretations, and some make no sense whatsoever. Some of them are chilling, literal descriptions of events, giving specific or near-specific names, geographic locations, astrological configurations, and sometimes actual dates. It is this quality of both vagueness and specificity which allows each new generation to reinterpret Nostradamus.

Book Description

This newly revised edition of the book has added an important prophecy study concerning Gaza and its relationship to the coming Apocalypse, and this revised edition has expanded the study of the prophetic (and yet future) Russia and Iran war and invasion against Israel which will initiate a series of irreversible events and will change the world ... forever! Bible Prophecy allows both the diligent AND the skeptical to test God's Word. These prophecies are God's way of warning ALL Mankind of the grave danger which now lies ahead. The Bible takes us from the very Beginning ... "In the Beginning God created the heavens and the Earth." (Genesis 1:1) To the very End ... "Now I saw a NEW heaven and a NEW Earth, For the first heaven and the first Earth had passed away." (Revelation 21:1) The Bible warns a single generation will see many extraordinary prophecies fulfilled, beginning with Israel back as a nation (fulfilled in 1948) ... and ending with the Rapture, the Antichrist, the Apocalypse, Armageddon, and Messiah's Return. We believe this generation is alive today. David Hocking, of the Hope For Today radio ministry, graciously invited the author to appear on the His Channel television show he was hosting to discuss and review "The Prophecies ... A Journey to the End of Time" book. Then, while holding up a copy of the book toward the camera, Dr. Hocking told the audience this book is one Bible Prophecy book which every household should have a copy of. He felt this book is that important, and is that well written. This book presents and explains the prophetic Scriptures in a way that is EASY to read, EASY to understand, and will quickly take your breath away! All the people of the world should be sitting on the edge of their seats with white knuckles as we now see MANY of these prophecies starting to unfold ... "Surely, the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the Prophets" (Amos 3:7) "Search from the Book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these (prophecies) shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate." (Isaiah 34:16) CHAPTERS IN THIS BOOK INCLUDE: - Messiah: Mystery of God - The Rapture - The Rise of the Antichrist - The Coming Apocalypse - We Will Know When We Are Close - Messiah's Return - After These Things - God's Promise Although the Bible clearly warns the darkest days of Earth's history are yet future, the Bible also promises the most peaceful and restful days of Earth's history are also in the future. We are told the Earth will one day be fully restored in peace and in beauty. The pain, the fears, the loneliness, the emptiness, and the tears will be wiped away from all who endure and wait in faith. "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox." (Isaiah 11:6-9) "He will swallow up death FOREVER, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces" (Isaiah 25:8) "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert." (Isaiah 35:5-7)

In November of 2016, the world witnessed the impossible. Nearly every household in America was tuned in to the election feeds, and every update pointed to a loss for the Republican Party. But when the map of the states flipped red in the final hour, there were a select few who weren't surprised. They had always known Trump was going to win. He was chosen for such a time as this. The prophecy had said so.This prophet, this reserved man of God, was retired firefighter Mark Taylor. The word given by the Holy Spirit was delivered on April 28, 2011, years before Trump's victory. The election, however, was only the beginning. In this UPDATED AND EXPANDED release of The Trump Prophecies, Defender Publishing revisits what the Lord revealed to Mark Taylor in both the celebrated "Commander-In-Chief Prophecy" that played such a key role in bolstering Trump's 2016 win, as well as many other messages the Holy Spirit inspired Taylor to write about what would transpire next for the most powerful nation on earth today. Fast forward¿ Halfway into Trump's first term, have Taylor's prophecies come true? Is Trump who he said he was, and is he delivering on the promises he made during his campaign? And what of the other prophecies God gave Mark regarding economics, criminal juistice, leadership turnover in the Supreme Court, and several other specific details? Have all of these inspired writings carried equal reliability as "Commander-In-Chief"?So far, Mark Taylor is batting a thousand.

Book Description

A startling exploration of the history of the most controversial book of the Bible, by the bestselling author of Beyond Belief. Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it? In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies. In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.
