Back Upright by Anonim Pdf

The Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals series can be read in any order.Discover the world of Secret Societies and their Biblical origins; today you will learn the truth about The Bible and why it has been outlawed, burned, and banned, since ancient times.Judah's, Back Upright is an adventure inside the truth of a world which has been hidden from you, in plain sight, since the dawn of man. The Bible is an urgent message from our ancestors which prophetically warns of the ruthless conspiracy which until now, no one could quite place their finger on; and it is warning us of the things which are unfolding right now.Nearly 30% of The Bible is prophecy, most of which has already come to pass. Many of these events were recorded by ancient historians like Josephus, Herodotus, and Xenophon, but, you probably haven't heard a squeak about the point at which Biblical Prophecy and history and headlines meet. Why? Well, simply put....When you yourself behold the depth of deceit in every aspect of our world, you may get a lump in your throat, just reading about these events.Instead of explaining the semantic details of individual Bible accounts that you have probably heard a thousand times, Back Upright will give you a 'high speed overview' of The Old Testament and a a fly-over view of the entire Bible; we will depart in Genesis and our arrival in Revelation will fuse The Biblical Prophecies with accepted history, and even with the news headlines right in your living room, undeniably. We will even sort out the bloodlines who have been oppressing us with wars and controlled calamity since Biblical times: You won't believe who they are, or their secret origins.But since the established Order has made a joke of The Bible, no one has even bothered to open the dusty old Book in order to recognize this evil when they see it. People have even invented computer programs like the so-called 'Bible Code' looking for hidden messages but, no one has have even opened and read the thing.But today, you, and me, a two-time National Science Foundation Award-Winning researcher and Amazon Bestselling Author, will easily rip through the quagmire of three years of research of The Bible, the symbolism and clues hidden in the ancient ruins which litter our 'tired planet,' and compare those with an extensive knowledge of the until now 'Secret' Societies.Once you understand the overall meaning of these things, you will begin to recognize truth, every day, all around you; the truth may be scary at first, but it will settle into a foundation which will sometimes make you feel like a superhero since, you will have so much truth in a world which is completely absent of reality. Even 99.9% of churches are unknowingly leading people down a path of lukewarm understanding due to the lies and lack of truth at the academic level.So, whether you're a staunch satanist, an atheist, or a even a devout Christian who knows that there is a lot more to this story than you've been taught, you have come to the right place. After all, even if you belong to a diametrically opposed group like atheism, it wouldn't hurt to obtain a strong grasp of the Bible's meaning in an afternoon; and whether you are swayed or not after reading Back Upright, you will no longer be able to deny the existence of what JFK himself referred to as a 'ruthless conspiracy,' right before he was gunned down for his change of heart.Prepare to crawl out of the dark cave of deceit and into the world of the 'Upright.' For today I will shake the very foundations of your entire belief system.

Sacred Scroll of Seven Seals by Judah Pdf

A National Science Foundation Award-Winning Author bumped into The Order of Skull and Bones when analyzing America's failed pill and heroin policies. Get this: 'The Order' has been dealing dope in the same way, around the world, for ages. These policies aren't 'failing.' They are working brilliantly....The Order is knowingly dispatching Americans for money. (Even cures to opiate and other addictions are being hidden.)Then, by cross-referencing leaked information such as rosters from Skull and Bones and Bohemian Grove, 'The Order's' veils of deceit fell to the ground, revealing the most vile bloodline of men who have ever strayed planet earth. After quite a bit more digging, he discovered a rare 200 year old book which was only meant for the eyes of the heirs of the Royal Family. The work details the genealogy of the 'Russell' family and exposes the hoax most refer to as the 'shadow government.' In the 'little book,' Poet, Jeremiah Holmes Wiffen also sent us some coded warnings from the past (and even identified the Holy Grail). Wiffen was no conspiracy theorist. His carefully researched and cited book was chartered by John 6th Duke of Bedford to celebrate their Royal 'Order,' or, their 'race.' ('Duke' is the highest title in the Royal Bloodline outside the monarch) The Order of Skull and Bones appears to be a screening mechanism with which to separate the super-elite from us common 'Vandals,' at Yale; these men go on to manipulate every lever of power in the world. Every president is related to their 'Order.' The bone collector's who darken the halls of 'The Tomb' are responsible for a LOT more than just dope-dealing, hand grips, acting out macabre plays in halloween getups, grave-robbery and public masturbation. (Don't forget, the likes of George Bush, John Kerry, Taft and multiple Kelloggs and Forbes - among countless others - were all from this wicked club).This book will answer a lot of questions which 'The Order' doesn't want you to know. Among them:- How the Civil War really began- How The Order killed a hundred-million people in a great genocide in India before THEY formed America- Who was really responsible for slavery (you will be SHOCKED!)- How the American Flag was really designed (hint: it wasn't 'Betsy Ross')- How Hitler really came to power and the Americans who funded him- It will solve the mysteries of the Great Pyramids- Tell you the esoteric secrets of archaeology- Exactly why those civilizations rose and fell- Where we are in that cycle of desolation and MUCH, MUCH MORE!The 'Little Book' connected these men to the Vikings, the Knights Templar, William the Conquerer, the Tudors, the Clintons, the Roman Catholic Papacy, and it even connects the vile clan to the Tribe of Dan in The Bible (the tribe which The Bible indicates will produce the Antichrist). Now, you may NOT believe in The Bible but these men DO and that is all that matters. This should scare you. Because they worship the dark one therein, and still practice necromancy among many more-deplorable rituals - including ritual child sacrifice ('in effigy,' supposedly).If you smell something rotten after having witnessed this election, this book may be for you...If you have ALWAYS known that the history which we have been taught just doesn't seem to add up, this book may also be for you. But I should warn you, once the scroll is unfurled, it can never be unread. The Order seems to be using the Book of Revelation (outlining the apocalypse) as a script. I will prove to you that even 9/11 is predicted uncannily in Revelation! (Don't let the references to the Bible scare you off. It's only being mentioned for its romantic and historical value to The Order.) Prepare to read the esoteric epic of 'The Pirate Who Took Over The World,' for which 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Chariots of the Gods' were created in order to prevent....

The Great Day by Dr. Festus K. Akinnifesi Pdf

The most remarkable story ever revealed starts like this: “...And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon...” The Great Day is anchored on the allegorical story of the woman in Revelation 12 and her adversary, which led to the war in heaven—the root of all wars and woes on earth. In her, the unchangeable and eternal purpose of God for humanity was perfectly sealed. The author presents three stages of war by her Antagonist—a first war in heaven, then many wars on earth—, then a final war from heaven before the messianic kingdom of Christ. The result is a prophecy book that is almost as dramatic and moving as a novel, yet it’s not a fiction. Interpreting the entire end-time prophecies from this vantage point, is what sets this book apart from the rest. In particular, four unique discoveries have transformed this book to a new prophetic treasure that every Christian must possess. The reader will discover early in the book, how the invention of another woman—Asherah, the mother of Baal, later coded as Babylon in Revelation 17 became Satan’s greatest game changer. Who is the real Gog and Magog—the Antichrist that would occupy Israel? Why Russia is not the Gog of Magog of Ezekiel’s prophecy. Understanding the sequence and purpose of the 21 plagues—the seven seals and the sets of retributory plagues of tribulation—seven trumpets and seven bowls of wrath. How are the unleashing of these unprecedented apocalyptic plagues linked to the two powerful prophets in Revelation 11? What will be the roles of the armies of raptured saints following King Jesus for the Armageddon war? The Great Day is a must read for every Christian concerned about the end-time—our eternal destiny. The entire kingdom agenda of Jesus is about the End-times

First Nations Version by Terry M. Wildman Pdf

★ Publishers Weekly starred review Academy of Parish Clergy Reference Book of the Year IVP Readers' Choice Award A New Testament in English by Native North Americans for Native North Americans and All English-Speaking Peoples Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator's Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers' oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people. The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation of the New Testament that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Bible. The culmination of a rigorous five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way. Read these sample passages to get a taste of what you'll find inside: "The Great Spirit loves this world of human beings so deeply he gave us his Son—the only Son who fully represents him. All who trust in him and his way will not come to a bad end, but will have the life of the world to come that never fades—full of beauty and harmony. Creator did not send his Son to decide against the people of this world, but to set them free from the worthless ways of the world." John 3:16-17 "Love is patient and kind. Love is never jealous. It does not brag or boast. It is not puffed up or big-headed. Love does not act in shameful ways, nor does it care only about itself. It is not hot-headed, nor does it keep track of wrongs done to it. Love is not happy with lies and injustice, but truth makes its heart glad. Love keeps walking even when carrying a heavy load. Love keeps trusting, never loses hope, and stands firm in hard times. The road of love has no end." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

The Sacred Scriptures - Vol. III by Johannes Biermanski Pdf

The objective of the Holy Bible, the Sacred Scriptures, 27th edition, volume III, is to revoke all falsifications in today's Bibles known so far (the New Testament), and to restore the original state of the verses as far as possible. In the present work, you will find from "The Letter to the Hebrews" to "The General Letter of Judah", also "The Book of Daniel" and "The Book of Revelation", in which the verses are written in German and English, as well as an appendix with various elaborations and statements, etc. (see the table of contents). There is both a German and an English edition in which the attachments are available in the respective selected language. This is a English version. Other important parts of this work are focused on "The Doctrine of the Trinity", "The holy Name of our God", "The Name of His Son and the Significancy", "The Falsification of the Resurrection Day", "The Ttatements of Dr. Martin Luther and the Reformers", "The official Statements of the Clergy in Rome", "The full validity of God's Law" as well as detailed explanations by the English reformers, falsifications in the Holy Bible, false doctrines, etc. The author was born in 1963 in North Rhine-Westphalia and completed a traineeship for wholesale and foreign trade in a pharmaceutical wholesale company. In the course of his professional development, he used to be a freelancer but was also officially employed; he has experienced a lot rises and falls throughout his life. While studying the Scriptures, he was led by the Spirit of the only God, the Almighty and the only Holy Father in heaven, whereas, by grace, he could recognize many things that are now presented as heresies to the world. In recent years he has been active in the proclamation of the Word of God in Europe, particularly in Brazil (South America), and has enlightened many people by his message, so that they get to know the true God, His holy name and His will and only obey Him – and start to think about all this, i. e. "so that they finally decide themselves in favour of the living God, instead of against Him, and their names are not erased from the divine 'Book of Life' forever."

The Forbidden Knowledge of Good and Evil by Daniel F. Owsley Pdf

The Forbidden Knowledge of Good and Evil – The Great News is all about the life of Christ during His trial and sufferings, up to His death and resurrection as told through His disciple James and a host of other early Christians such as Isrealius. Also read the words of Pontius Pilate and other eye witnesses such as the guard Manilus who recounted other dead saints coming back to life just as the Bible does say. And many other people who wrote beautiful things about the Lord are also included herein such as James C. Hefley who long ago wrote...”While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a Cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was dying—and that was His coat. When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Such was His human life—He rises from the dead. Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today He is the Centerpiece of the human race and the Leader of the column of progress. I am within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life.” And to sum up this work it's simply about the death and victory of our Lion of Judea that's told from a prophetic fundamental viewpoint through many authors. And as the gospel is unfolded it clearly spells out that there are only two kind of Christians. And I'm not talking about Catholic or Protestant: For so it is that the only two kinds of followers are those who know that they're victorious no matter what, and then there's the kind of believer that doesn't know that at all. But it's very unfortunate that people in that group sadly settle for the mistaken belief that they've been defeated somehow. For they easily forget that Christ within them stands much taller, than the devil, who has already been long ago defeated at the cross. But it doesn't need to be said that even though those confused true followers might walk daily in defeat, they're still pretty big winners in our Lord God's sight due to their faith even though it might be the size of a mustard seed.

The Lost Gospel of Simon Peter by Daniel F. Owsley Pdf

Dare to explore the long lost gospel of Simon Peter, the rock, which was more highly esteemed by early Christians than a couple of the other Biblical gospels, according to some theologians. And it's also a fact that this holy gospel gives some fantastic insights into the good news that the others do not. Therefore, it's a very wise move for any follower of our Lord of Evermore to become enlightened to this historical piece that's printed with utter magnificence. And as an extra special bonus the gospel of James the Righteous is also included herein, so believers can be twice as blessed with a double dose of holiness that exalts Jesus Christ Almighty in a truly extraordinary way. So buckle on up, and prepare your serching hearts to go on a speechless journey into the incredible. For these are some awesomel literary guides to our Lord's overflowing greatness which has made Him alone into earth's central figure all throughout the ages. Neither is there any lover of our Hero of Heroes that could ever read this most amazing offering and be able to deny the incredible impact that these gospels should have on the church. Neither could any hardened hearts ever possibly remain in that awful condition if their owners choose to be open minded enough to expose themselves to the marvelous kind of little known amazements that are included herein. 'tis therefore the great day at last for some fantastic old literature to make a badly needed comeback. And it's also the long awaited day of great expectations to be made manifest for anyone who craves such blessings to overcome their ever needful souls. And it's with the greatest delight that such classics are now finally being amplified anew. May they resound therefore all throughout the heavens; May they also echo all throughout the low roads, the high roads, and every other pathway under our most attentive Father of Lights. Then the faithful few of our Icon of Icons my boldly say with a very cheerful smile that the great time has finally come forth when many lost souls may be kept off of the wide road that leads towards destruction. For it is a great truth indeed, that the anointed word of God flows like some great and mighty rivers of heavenly instruction as the following pages are lovingly turned. For this is the blessed hour for every adopted son of God to exalt our Lion of Judah and a very happy time for them to extol and magnify the gift of salvation which that Son of Holiness so freely offers unto every hungry soul who desires the kind of spiritual food that can never be found in any other books aside from these and the rest of the New Testament. So be ready now to be blessed in a very special way that could never even be contained in a gigantic package of thankfulness. And be ready to rejoice as well. For our Eternal Redemption, the Living Word of God has fully authorized His disciples Peter and James to disclose some extremely remarkable things that's been mute for much too long. Selah.

The Pillar of Celestial Fire by Robert Cox Pdf

In this well-documented book, compelling evidence is presented that during the previous Golden Age, a universal sacred science was shared by enlightened Seers of the Biblical, Egyptian, Vedic, Taoist, and Native American traditions. The mysterious and powerful knowledge possessed by these ancient Seers is relevant today, for it holds the keys to spiritual enlightenment, perfect health, and physical immortality. Although this knowledge was lost long ago, according to the cycles of time mapped out by the ancient Seers themselves, we are now about to enter into a new Golden Age - a time when the lost sacred science is destined to be revived, and miraculous new technologies will arise. The author presents the spiritual, historical, and scientific background of this imminent revival with remarkable insight, offering a message of great hope for the entire human race.

Jehovah Himself Has Become King by Robert King Pdf

Civilization has now reached a crucial tipping point. Mountains of easy money, leveraged into the stratosphere by unscrupulous dealers in inscrutable financial derivatives, have ensnared entire nations in a web of debt. The nations and financiers are locked in a pushing match. The only unsettled question at this particular juncture is whether the nations will decisively act in the interests of their people and shut down the financial system that is looting the world or whether they will allow the banks to foreclose upon them, thereby effectively ending the era of sovereign nation states and ushering in a banker’s global dictatorship. Bible prophecy supplies the answer. Jehovah Himself Has Become King offers a fresh and unique understanding of prophecy from the standpoint of the vital role that Jehovah’s Witnesses have played upon the world stage in recent times. But contrary to the Watchtower’s prophetic exegesis focused on an invisible parousia for the past nearly 100 years, this work points forward to the visible manifestation of Christ to the chosen ones during the three and one-half year period outlined in the Scriptures as the time of the end.

Revelations by Elaine Pagels Pdf

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.
