The final book of the Bible, Revelation prophesies the ultimate judgement of mankind in a series of allegorical visions, grisly images and numerological predictions. According to these, empires will fall, the "Beast" will be destroyed and Christ will rule a new Jerusalem. With an introduction by Will Self.
Angels and Beasts looks into the interplay between the angelic figures in the vision of the seven seals. John creates a relationship between the four living creatures and the four riders in Revelation 6:1-8 that must not be overlooked. This connection works between the two groups as a whole and at the one-to-one level. The blending of symbols and the communication between these symbolic figures reveal exegetical, theological, and spiritual lessons. Both the scenario and the script of John's vision talk about terms and ties in the realm of angelic beings. For John these relations in the world above are a code to unlock relations in the world below.

Recovering the Monstrous in Revelation by Heather Macumber Pdf

Educated Western Christians seek to understand the scientific basis of evolution as well as to justify why a God worth worshiping can be responsible -- yet not indictable -- for evil. The author creates an innovative theological framework that addresses these concerns and provides part of a structure for fundamental theology which is based on the neoclassical metaphysics of Charles Hartshorne and the speculative cosmology of Alfred North Whitehead. His model of the divine has three basic principles: God is love, God is the creator, and this creativity is an integral part of divine essence. From this model, he develops a fundamental theology which focuses on the nature of divinity, the interaction between human and the divine, and divine revelation. He attributes much of his own concept of revelation to Whitehead's model in which revelation is indicative of a successful communion between human and divine. This revelation is achieved through symbolic mediation and it is as much inter-personal reconciliation as it is a universal resonance of the creative essence between heaven and earth. This framework shows initial agreement with Christian traditions; it is highly coherent, universal in scope and, most importantly, it has rich potential for future Christian understanding.
Revelation of Bible Creatures by Elizabeth Ukeni Abamu Pdf
All creatures in the Holy Scriptures are explained according to their individual characteristics, spiritual significance, and the lessons they teach us. As part of the biblical narrative, they inadvertently carry with them a measure of wisdom, good or bad, for the reader's benefit as we learn about them. Since we must worship God in spirit and in truth, the biblical creatures are therefore a big part of the ways and significance of God. For example, when Christ reminds us to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves, it is using the very nature of these creatures to explain how vivid examples such as those would propagate our understanding in the worship of God. Readers will also learn the basics, the depths, and the meaning of life; whom to fear; why and how to love; and how to persevere in our godly walk, if we are to understand God and what He requires of us. This book will help man fight the good fight of faith and finish the race of life in a very strong and fruitful way. Moreover, ears and eyes would be opened, and souls will be won as sermons and good tidings are sown into the hearts of the readers and hearers of this faith. This book can also be a great turning point for a host of people in the realm of God: It includes and maturing Christians, songwriters, fledging preachers, and her slew of scholarly teachers in the things of God.
What are angels like? How many kinds are there? Are mental disorders caused by their influence? Long favored by scholars, this classic has now been rewritten to give us accessible scriptural answers to our questions about the spirit world.

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.
Animals as Seen Through God’S Eyes by Dwila R. Funk Pdf

The Lamb of God represents Jesus slain for us on the cross. Jesus’ death redeemed the dominion lost by Adam. Through his death and resurrection, the believers on Earth will rule and reign in such a way that they will become praise on Earth. The seven horns on the Lamb of God are emblems of all power given to Christians. We could be creative in our approach to warfare with these horns of the devil, which scatter anything that brings praise to God. You have to acknowledge and understand unsearchable riches we have in Christ. The tough times must be viewed as times that can lead us to our God-given purpose in life, instead of backing away from the battle of our destiny. You were born for a cause; understand this, stand, and uphold your cause. This is the only way you can be fulfilled in life. God is waiting for a generational army that will rise up in power and save nations. You are called personally to walk with God in that army. The key is understanding the victory of Jesus for you. In The Lamb of God, Praise O. Glory shares her personal experience and thoughts with you. Praise’s book may encourage you to understand how your “deep darkened valley” can be miraculously turned into a “striking well of springs of refreshing water” as you learn to see things from God’s heavenly perspective by walking with the Holy Spirit.
Science and technology have profoundly altered the cosmic and societal perceptions of the world. Regrettably, the Christian imagination has not kept pace. Most believers still adhere to pre-scientific views. Cosmos and Revelation urges the Christian community to reimagine God's creation by engaging the data of science. For if God has indeed brought forth an intelligible world for us to explore through scientific research, those who profess this faith ought to, as a minimum, allow scientific findings to expand their theological horizon. Drawing on his scientific qualification and academic background in theology, Peter R. Stork opens several windows on God's creation, from galactic star nurseries to the wonderland of living cells. After rereading Genesis 1 and 2, the author interlaces examples and reflections to present a coherent yet provocative sketch of the new landscape that spreads out before us, leaving it to his readers to intuit for themselves the immensities Christians are challenged to embrace in the age of science.
Understanding End Times Prophecy by Paul N. Benware Pdf
Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
