The Vision of Gabriel Also Called Hazon Gabriel


Book Description

80. In three days, live, I Gabriel command you 81. prince of the princes, the dung of the rocky crevices The "Gabriel Vision," also known as the "Revelation of Gabriel" or "Hazon Gabriel," refers to a fascinating archaeological artifact discovered in 2007. The stone tablet was discovered by a Bedouin shepherd in the vicinity of the Dead Sea in Jordan. The shepherd reportedly stumbled upon a cave containing several artifacts, including the stone tablet. It is an ancient limestone tablet covered with a mysterious Hebrew script, written in ink. It features the archangel Gabriel at the center of this newly discovered text. The stone tablet was likely part of a larger inscription, containing text written in Hebrew. The so-called Gabriel Stone, a meter (three-foot)-tall tablet said to have been found on the banks of the Dead Sea, features lines of an unknown prophetic text dated as early as the first century BC, at the time of the Second Jewish Temple. This falls in line with the dates suggested for the writing of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Remarkably, the stone contains a command from the archangel, Gabriel, to an unnamed Messianic figure (or his decomposing corps) that in three days he will live again.

San Gabriel


Book Description

San Gabriel is often referred to as the birthplace of the Los Angeles region. The areas first inhabitants were native peoples often called Gabrieleo because of their association with the San Gabriel Mission, which was founded in 1771; the mission became the fourth and most productive of the 21 California missions built along El Camino Real. Saloons and gambling halls arrived during the Wild West era, and shoot-outs became commonplace. Joshua Bean owned one such saloon until his 1852 murder. His brother, the future judge Roy Bean, inherited and operated his Headquarters Saloon until Roy was run out of town by local authorities. The vintage images in this book chronicle San Gabriel through the 20th century, covering city growth and oddities, including early resident William Money, the regions first documented cult leader and founder of the Moneyan Institute, and the infamous Man From Mars bandit, who terrorized the community with grocery store robberies.




Raised from the Dead According to Scripture


Book Description

The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it. Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. We can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection.
