THE APPROACHING APOCALYPSE: What You Should Know About the End Time and the Return of Christ by Robert I. Adams Pdf
A profoundly decisive change in world history is on the horizon-a transition from governance under fallen man to a government from God Himself. Jesus Christ is going to return and reign over the world with perfect justice. Prophecies in the Bible tell us that due to the rebellion of man against his Maker the time leading up to the second coming of Christ will be intense. In this book, you will find answers to these questions: - What will the last days be like? - What will happen when Jesus returns? - What is the rapture and when will it occur? - How can I prepare for what is coming?
Plague, earthquake and flame: ideas about divinely-inspired disaster and prophecies of doom have an enduring place in the history of Christian thought. For centuries men and women have made preparations for the imminent end of the world, and for the thousand year reign of Christ and his saints. Inspired principally by the startling texts of the Book of Revelation, Christianity has a rich and varied tradition of looking forward to the purifying fires of Armageddon. But what do recurring motifs like the Rapture, pestilence, biblical prophecy and the building of the New Jerusalem really add up to? And how have interpretations of these patterns differed from century to century? Charting a steady course between the feverish predictions of early Christian heretics like the Montanists, and the febrile outpourings of modern-day millennialists such as the Branch Davidians and Christian Zionists in America, John M. Court explores the continuities and differences between their violent visions of cataclysm. His history comprises an incisive analysis of such movements and figures as the Levellers and Diggers, James Jezreel and his Trumpeters, Seventh-Day Adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses, cargo-cults and drug cultures. Embracing two thousand years of intense and fiery admonition, Approaching the Apocalypse offers students of religion, history and politics the definitive handbook to Doomsday.
The Approaching Apocalypse and Three Days of Darkness by Michael D. Fortner Pdf
The Bible tells us that when Christ returns, there will be another end-of-the-world type destruction, like Noah's Flood, but with fire. Includes many prophecies from: Book of Enoch, Sibylline Oracles, Apocrypha, more.
The Approaching Apocalypse and Three Days of Darkness by Michael D. Fortner Pdf
God destroyed the world once with a Flood, and the Bible says the next destruction will be with fire at the return of Christ. God is going to send fire from heaven from several different sources; from asteroid impacts, coronal mass ejections, and from a small 2nd sun that will come close enough to Earth to burn us with its flames! Yes, there are in fact many prophecies that reveal this information, going all the way back to the Erythraean Sibyl. These prophecies tell us what the "signs in the sun, moon, and stars" will be before the global destruction hits us. Today we look at a conjunction of planets or blood moons as signs, but they are not signs of the end of the world, because those things have happened many times before and will happen again. No, the signs that Jesus told us about are astonishing, and shocking. Like the prophet Joel said, there will be "wonders" in the sky. This book also presents powerful evidence that a nuclear war will cause the world to be covered with dark clouds, threatening to plunge the world into a nuclear winter. This is the cause of the darkness and clouds at the return of Christ, and the Three Days of Darkness, prophesied mostly, but not only, by Catholics. The three days are the first three days of what will be nuclear winter, except Christ returns with fire that will burn up the black clouds and saves the world. But that fire will itself kill many people. It will be the Day of Judgment for sinners, but the Day of Salvation for the righteous who are alive on Earth. Many people will repent too late to make the Rapture, and it is these who will continue the human race in the Kingdom of God on Earth. This book is filled with many prophecies from the Book of Enoch, Sibylline Oracles, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, and even Catholic and Protestant prophecies. It was written to warn God's people to prepare in advance, so that they can better survive those terrible days that include the Great Tribulation and the Wrath of God at the end.

A Critical Approach to the Apocalypse by Alexandra Simon-López,Heidi Yeandle Pdf
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. A Critical Approach to the Apocalypse offers the reader an in-depth view of the portrayal of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic scenarios in literature, film and television, art, digital art, history, anthropology, religion and climate change studies.
A global apocalypse is coming-and may be imminent! The Bible predicts a looming Armageddon that brings cataclysmic destruction, worldwide holocaust, and spiritual warfare, reaching a climactic showdown while the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Jesus warned this seven-year era of doom will be unlike any period in human history, making it the ultimate end-times, epic thriller. All of this leaves critical questions to be answered: Will this apocalypse bring the end of the world as we know it? How soon will it hit? How could a good God allow this kind of global disaster as part of his perfect plan? How will this approaching Armageddon affect us? What can we do to prepare for it? In The Impending Apocalypse, theologian and Bible professor John Claeys draws from his thorough research to reveal the surprising answers. Journey through these pages to prepare yourself for what is certainly coming, and you will discover God and his future plan in a fresh way.
August 2019 saw numerous commemorations of the year 1619, when what was said to be the first arrival of enslaved Africans occurred in North America. Yet in the 1520s, the Spanish, from their imperial perch in Santo Domingo, had already brought enslaved Africans to what was to become South Carolina. The enslaved people here quickly defected to local Indigenous populations, and compelled their captors to flee. Deploying such illuminating research, The Dawning of the Apocalypse is a riveting revision of the “creation myth” of settler colonialism and how the United States was formed. Here, Gerald Horne argues forcefully that, in order to understand the arrival of colonists from the British Isles in the early seventeenth century, one must first understand the “long sixteenth century”– from 1492 until the arrival of settlers in Virginia in 1607. During this prolonged century, Horne contends, “whiteness” morphed into “white supremacy,” and allowed England to co-opt not only religious minorities but also various nationalities throughout Europe, thus forging a muscular bloc that was needed to confront rambunctious Indigenes and Africans. In retelling the bloodthirsty story of the invasion of the Americas, Horne recounts how the fierce resistance by Africans and their Indigenous allies weakened Spain and enabled London to dispatch settlers to Virginia in 1607. These settlers laid the groundwork for the British Empire and its revolting spawn that became the United States of America.
Media and the Apocalypse by Kylo-Patrick R. Hart,Annette Holba Pdf
Responding to a plethora of media representing end times, this anthology of essays examines pop culture's fascination with end of the world or apocalyptic narratives. Essays discuss films and made-for-television movies - including Deep Impact, The Core, and The Day After Tomorrow - that feature primarily [hu]man-made catastrophes or natural catastrophes. These representations complement the large amount of mediated literature and films on religious perspectives of the apocalypse, the Left Behind series, and other films/books that deal with prophecy from the Book of Revelation in the Bible. This book will be useful in upper-level undergraduate/graduate courses addressing mass media, film and television studies, popular culture, rhetorical criticism, and special/advanced topics. In addition, the book will be of interest to scholars and students in disciplines including anthropology, history, psychology, sociology, and religious studies.
