| mideast beast: Revelation Jeff Ferguson, 2021-11-03 Social injustice, social distancing and masks, the coronavirus pandemic, earthquakes, wars, and rumors of wars--is this really the end-times? When thinking about the book of Revelation, death and destruction, lawlessness and chaos seem to be the focus of most people. Humanity, especially Hollywood, seems to have an insatiable appetite for the sensational devastation and death that is predicted in this biblical prophecy. The problem with this is most media sources miss the main point for which these catastrophes occur; the call of God for His creation to reunite with Him. The book of Revelation is probably the most controversial book of the Bible! Which piece of literature throughout history has had more written about it, with such widely divided opinions and differing beliefs?

Revelation: The Full Disclosure of Jesus Christ takes the reader verse by verse through the entire twenty-two chapters of Revelation, giving accurate but easy-to-understand explanations.

| mideast beast: Jesus Christ S. I. Courageous, 2023-06-20 JESUS CHRIST will come soon (Revelation 1:7). He will return to bring an Eternal Kingdom of peace and righteousness for Himself and for His beloved disciples. Humankind, however, brought forth seven mighty World Empires: Proud Egypt, cruel Assyria, the golden, silver and bronze Empires of Babylonia, Persia and Greece (Book of Daniel) and, in recent times, the Empires of the Romans and the Arabs. They all made life difficult for believers, but could not overcome Israel and the confessing church. Now a last Empire, the eighth one, is just around the corner. The Bible predicts: One of the seven World Empires will rise again from the abyss of history and try to seize Zion (Jerusalem) and the absolute power. But which one will it be? Here comes the surprising answer to well-known scholars as Arnold Fruchtenbaum (The Footsteps of the Messiah) or Joel Richardson (The Islamic Antichrist; Mideast Beast; Mystery Babylon) - fresh from the land of the Reformation. Courageous writes for watchful contemporaries in Europe and America. He refutes today`s lightly accepted origin of the End Time evil and shows that neither Rome nor Mecca are the main source of grief and evil. The New End Time Exegesis (NEE) provides an unusually clear and, at the same time, brighter future perspective for the Christians of the West. Reader ́s Voices The Revelation of John ... made easy. Can 450 million believers be wrong? We Christians of the West are free again, free to do good - even though dark clouds are appearing on the horizon. A book that was born in Bethlehem. Paperback Edition with eight maps of the Biblical World Empires complete with information on their spiritual character; history; geographical location and extension. |

| mideast beast: America & Islam Lawrence Pintak, 2019-06-27 Donald Trump's first term as the 45th President of the United States of America has shocked the world. His attitudes towards Islam became a key point of contention on the campaign trail, and in power Trump has continued his war of divisive words and deeds. Here, acclaimed journalist Lawrence Pintak scrutinizes America's relationship with Islam since its foundation. Casting Donald Trump as a symptom of decades of misunderstanding and demonization of the Islamic world, as well as a cause of future tensions, Pintak shows how and why America's relationship with the world's largest religion has been so fractious, damaging and self-defeating. Featuring unique interviews with victims and perpetrators of Trump's policies, as well as analysis of the media's role in inflaming debate, America & Islam seeks to provide a complete guide to the twin challenges of terrorism and the polarizing rhetoric that fuels it, and sketches out a future based on co-operation and the reassertion of democratic values. |
| mideast beast: Soul Deceiver Lyn Leahz, 2013-05 As Unified High Priest, Khalid al-Kabul and his UNIFY church gain worldwide acclaim and draw millions to their ranks, Christians fear the emergence of a one-world religion. Krista Coblentz teams with Detective Darnell Simpson, a backslidden Christian, after police discover Krista's best friend savagely murdered and dismembered. Krista's relationship with Simpson disintegrates after she accepts an invitation to one of Khalid's demonic services promoting his perfect one-world church. Meanwhile, in Tennessee, retired Pentecostal minister Walter Caldwell hears from God that it's time to take the message of repentance to the streets, and God wants Caldwell to lead the effort. Could UNIFY truly be the apostasy and the emergence of a one-world religion foretold in the Bible Christians believe it is merely a counterfeit forged by Satan himself that shall lead even the elect astray? Or could it be the perfect church the Bible predicts, rising up out of the darkness, delivering a new world peace by fusing Christians and Muslims together as one? Ms. Leahz masterfully weaves this end-times thriller with excitement, murder, intrigue, romance and mystery. This fast-paced prophetic classic will leave you breathless and eagerly awaiting the second book in Ms. Leahz's trilogy.

| mideast beast: When the Perfect Comes Dr. Brad Young, 2022-08-08 “A masterful yet truly accessible survey of end-time theology. Young presents complex topics in a very readable manner, all the while remaining faithful to Scripture.” —Micah Redfield, Master of Theology from Denver Seminary Scripture affirms what the apostles passed down to the early church, including that the church will go through the entire Tribulation and the Antichrist will come from the Middle East. If the Early Church and ancient Jewish writings, including Hosea, are correct, the Tribulation might start within the next three years. Brad Young examines what the Bible tells us about the end-time as well as the Second Coming of Christ. He considers questions such as: Why should we study prophecy? How do we discover prophetic truth? Can the Bible’s prophecies be trusted? What happens before and during the Tribulation? Who will the Antichrist be, and what is the Mark of the Beast? How should we prepare for the Tribulation and Second Coming? He also examines why there is a need for the Tribulation, what happens when Christ returns, and what the Kingdom of God will be like. Other topics include the role of Islam during the end-time as well as the role of Russia. Also, how Iran will spark a war in the Middle East just before the Tribulation. Simplified and condensed with over 500 references – When The Perfect Comes – covers all aspects of prophecy which affect our lives and instructs us on the signs to look for. This is the only prophecy book you need to understand the end-time and what to do about it. Discover what the Bible tells us about the Second Coming of Christ and change your life forever with the wisdom in When the Perfect Comes. |

| mideast beast: The Islamic Enlightenment Christopher de Bellaigue, 2017-02-23 SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 2017 'An eye-opening, well-written and very timely book' Yuval Noah Harari 'The best sort of book for our disordered days: timely, urgent and illuminating' Pankaj Mishra 'It strikes a blow...for common humanity' Sunday Times The Muslim world has often been accused of a failure to modernise and adapt. Yet in this sweeping narrative and provocative retelling of modern history, Christopher de Bellaigue charts the forgotten story of the Islamic Enlightenment – the social movements, reforms and revolutions that transfigured the Middle East from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Modern ideals and practices were embraced across the region, including the adoption of modern medicine, the emergence of women from purdah and the development of democracy. The Islamic Enlightenment looks behind the sensationalist headlines in order to foster a genuine understanding of Islam and its relationship to the West. It is essential reading for anyone engaged in the state of the world today. |
| mideast beast: There Were Giants on the Earth in Those Days... and Also After That Roberta Sams, 2015-01-26 What I appreciate about There Were Giants on the Earth in Those Days and Also After That, is that it is not only intelligible but is enjoyable to read. It doesnt require the reader to know a lot about eschatology but provides them a learning experience, as the author has done extensive research and study to uncover the mysteries of the Bible, which has all the answers. It tells what is going to happen in the future. The book deals with how Lucifer was cast out of heaven when he rebelled against God and how sin first entered into the world in the garden of Eden. It shows how Satan has battled against God and His plan to provide salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Subjects like giants in the land, the flood, false religions, Islam, secret societies, UFOs, and others are discussed. The Federal Reserve, and HAARP, by which they are trying to control the weather, the Rapture, the new world order, the mark of the beast, and the Antichrist are all dealt with according to the Word of God. I recommend the entire book be read in order to experience the benefits of the authors laborious efforts to cover the past, the present, and the future of our world. Rev. David Lathrem, associate pastor Lee Boulevard Baptist Church |
| mideast beast: The Chosen Game Charley Rosen, 2017-11 A few years after its invention by James Naismith, basketball became the primary sport in the crowded streets of the Jewish neighborhood on New York’s Lower East Side. Participating in the new game was a quick and enjoyable way to become Americanized. Jews not only dominated the sport for the next fifty‐plus years but were also instrumental in modernizing the game. Barney Sedran was considered the best player in the country at the City College of New York from 1909 to 1911. In 1927 Abe Saperstein took over management of the Harlem Globetrotters, playing a key role in popularizing and integrating the game. Later he helped found the American Basketball Association and introduced the three-point shot. More recently, Nancy Lieberman played in a men’s pro summer league and became the first woman to coach a men’s pro team, and Larry Brown became the only coach to win both NCAA and the NBA championships. While the influence of Jewish players, referees, coaches, and administrators has gradually diminished since the mid‐1950s, the current basketball scene features numerous Jews in important positions. Through interviews and lively anecdotes from franchise owners, coaches, players, and referees, The Chosen Game explores the contribution of Jews to the evolution of present-day pro basketball. |
| mideast beast: Raindrops of Revelation Zion S. Kwok, 2024-12-17 Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don't know. (Jeremiah 33:3 WEB) The Lord gave us the Book of Revelation, a book of signs and mysteries. Let us ask Him for understanding, for surely He desires that the book bear fruit in the lives of His people. Raindrops of revelation will fall upon us, accumulating into ever deeper pools of understanding or perhaps our imagination. Yet in all this we marvel at the wondrous design of the book. Is there a literary progression in the letters to the seven churches? Have the seals anything to do with the Great Persecution at the time of Diocletian? How long is the Day of the Lord? Is there a real animal with ten horns? Is the beast from the land the same as Babylon the Great? Will the vertical dimension of the New Jerusalem be mostly underground? May we wait more eagerly for the coming of our Lord. |
| mideast beast: Why Did Yahweh and His Son Yahshuah Say What They Said? Dr. Justin G. Prock, 2020-05-07 YAHWEH (The LORD God) and His Son YAHSHUAH (Jesus Christ) made statements with regard to Eschatology that have been “Spiritualized” for over a Millennium, which has led to the belief in Universalism, the belief that YAHSHUAH died for EVERYONE. Well, after one studies the original languages of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the message of the Kingdom of God was preached to and accepted by a certain House in the Bible. The other House rejected this message, and YAHSHUAH punished that House by taking the Kingdom away from them and giving It to another nation bringing forth fruit. There are only the House of Israel, the House of Judah, and the House of David, mentioned in the Bible. All three existed then, as they do today. However, most of today’s Babylonian Priesthood/Churchianity refuses to accept the secular historical position with regard to the House of Israel, and who they are today. The people groups, which YAHWEH and YAHSHUAH addressed, still exist today. However, these people are all mixed-up, and known by different names, but they DO exist. This book goes back to the origin of these people groups in the Bible, and brings them forward to the present using their old names, in order to understand Eschatology. This brings us to the major question of, “Is the Bible only about Israel?” And, if so, how does it affect our Eschatology today? This book answers these hard questions... |
| mideast beast: Proust among the Nations Jacqueline Rose, 2011-10-20 Known for her far-reaching examinations of psychoanalysis, literature, and politics, Jacqueline Rose has in recent years turned her attention to the Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the most enduring and apparently intractable conflicts of our time. In Proust among the Nations, she takes the development of her thought on this crisis a stage further, revealing it as a distinctly Western problem. In a radical rereading of the Dreyfus affair through the lens of Marcel Proust in dialogue with Freud, Rose offers a fresh and nuanced account of the rise of Jewish nationalism and the subsequent creation of Israel. Following Proust’s heirs, Beckett and Genet, and a host of Middle Eastern writers, artists, and filmmakers, Rose traces the shifting dynamic of memory and identity across the crucial and ongoing cultural links between Europe and Palestine. A powerful and elegant analysis of the responsibility of writing, Proust among the Nations makes the case for literature as a unique resource for understanding political struggle and gives us new ways to think creatively about the violence in the Middle East. |
| mideast beast: The Time Is Near Ian Foley, 2016-05-31 The Time Is Near, the second and final volume of a paired set, builds upon the foundations laid in the first volume to offer a comprehensive and systematic interpretation and explanation of the final book of the BibleRevelation. The author, Ian Foley, summarizes the findings of the first volume before turning to an exploration of this often misunderstood biblical book. This volume explains how two books of apocalyptic literature, Daniel and Revelation, have similar structures, display similar styles of writing, and offer seamlessly connecting content. The benefit of this comparison comes in recognizing that the ambiguities and confusions of meaning that typically accompany readings of Revelation fade away. The reader then receives a clear view of a complete prophetic picture of Gods plan for his world, stretching from 605 BC to the end of this age and beyond. In its thirty-two parts, The Time Is Near presents concise statements of position that begin with Daniel, dwell on Jesus and Paul, and then focus primarily on Revelation. By offering this overall summary of a clear word of prophecy and by supporting it with immersion in the Bible and reflection on historical events, The Time Is Near invites readers reflection and testing. In a time in which the worldwide church faces great challenges, The Time Is Near speaks clearly of refreshingly new insights that will help Christians to face those challenges and to resolve their uncertainties about the meaning of Revelation for this world and the next. |
| mideast beast: Biblical Eschatology: Dr. Justin G. Prock, 2021-06-20 In recent history, men from a variety of backgrounds have come to the same conclusion: that the Bible is about Israel only. For example: In 1861, John Mason Neale translated an ancient twelfth century Latin hymn and its title was O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Ever since 1861, Christians have sung that hymn at Christmas time, especially at Advent. Do you know what the words really mean that you are singing? In 1878, Edward Hine wrote an article titled, Seven-Eighths of the Bible Misunderstood, wherein he explains that seven-eighths of the Bible is about national salvation, i.e. the national salvation of True Israel; whereas, only one-eighth of the Bible is about personal salvation. Did you know that? In the 1960’s, Pastor Sheldon Emry wrote an article title, An Open Letter to Any Minister Who Teaches the Jews Are Israel, wherein he is of the opinion that the Israel that exists today since 1948 is not the True Israel of the Bible. In 1998, Arnold E. Kennedy wrote a book titled, The Exclusiveness of Israel, wherein he legally proves using the King James Version of the Bible that the Bible in general is only about True Israel. So, here we are in the Twenty-First Century, and the Gospel that is preached today is totally convoluted from that which was preached in the First Century A.D. by Yahshuah and His disciples, i.e. the Gospel of the Kingdom. So, where did the so-called churches and pastors go wrong? By the way, is there really a hierarchy in the Bible? In order to find out what the truth really is, we have to look at the original languages in which the Bible was written and then translated. For example, the Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Aramaic, then translated into Greek. The New Testament was written in Hebrew and Greek. Both Testaments were put together and translated into Latin, then German, and finally into English, from which the entire world received their own translation of the Bible. So, what was the original meaning of the words used in the original languages, i.e. the etymology of the words. Once that is determined, then we can go onto the next phase and discuss types in the Bible. From there, what is the Law of First Mention? How should Bible prophecy be Interpreted? Who are the keys to Bible prophecy? Where are we in the Bible prophecy timeline? During these discussions, we will find out who Yahweh chose of all the families of the earth to make His own. The churches teach universalism. The question then becomes, Who was Yahweh’s Law given to? What are the Laws of Yahweh? And then the even bigger question becomes, Who was Yahshuah sent to? All of these questions and more will be answered as you read this book... |
| mideast beast: Unveiling the Ruse Lynne Fox, 2022-03-16 Two-thousand years ago, the apostle Peter wrote in his second epistle that in the last days, people would scoff at the notion of Christ's second coming. He also wrote that the same would be willingly ignorant of the creator God who made the universe, and of the Genesis flood that overtook the entire world. True to Peter's prophecy, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution has replaced the biblical account of man's origins, and the global cataclysm to which Noah was witness has been reduced to a fable. However, the candor of Genesis is beginning to emerge as scientists find evidences in geology, paleontology, and genetics painting a different picture than naturalism; the same substances which are crowned as scientific proofs of deep time and of goo-to-you evolution showcase the very catastrophe and the account of creation that secular academia aims to censor. Following evidence of the supernatural acting upon the natural, one discovers both God and his adversary in their conflict over man. But the Word of God has revealed its predetermined end, and it may come sooner than many would expect. Inversely, we might have little reason to fear archaic ideas - let the Judeo-Christian God be a bygone already, some say. With our knowledge increasing exponentially, our future is bright. As scientists unlock the secrets of DNA and develop technology beyond our forefathers' wildest dreams, humankind may even have a shot at achieving immortality one day, leaving worries of heaven and hell behind. And considering the vastness of the universe in which we hope to expand, there could be intelligent life already among the stars that might one day make contact and aid us in our aspirations - or, this is all just part of the ruse. |

Since the Bible provided an accurate timeline for Christ’s first arrival, it seems possible that scripture would also identify when His second coming will occur. A study of the dates and times provided in scripture provides a different and unique look at when and how God may unfold the events of Daniel’s 70th week and the return of Christ. |
| mideast beast: Passing Orders S. Jonathon O'Donnell, 2020-12-01 Demonization has increasingly become central to the global religious and political landscape. Passing Orders interrogates this centrality through an analysis of evangelical “spiritual warfare” demonologies in contemporary America. Situating spiritual warfare as part of broader frameworks of American exceptionalism, ethnonationalism, and empire management, author S. Jonathon O’Donnell exposes the theological foundations of the systems of queer- and transphobia, anti-blackness, Islamophobia, and settler colonialism that justify the dehumanizing practices of the current U.S. political order. O’Donnell argues that demonologies are not only tools of dehumanization but also ontological and biopolitical systems that create and maintain structures of sovereign power, or orthotaxies—models of the “right ordering” of space, time, and bodies that stratify humanity into hierarchies of being and nonbeing. Alternative orders are demonized as passing, framed as counterfeit, transgressive, and transient. Yet these orders refuse to simply pass on, instead giving strength to deviant desires that challenge the legitimacy of sovereign violence. Critically examining this challenge in the demonologies of three figures—Jezebel, the Islamic Antichrist, and Leviathan—Passing Orders re-imagines demons as a surprising source of political and social resistance, reflecting fragile and fractious communities bound by mutual passing and precarity into strategic coalitions of solidarity, subversion, and survival. |

Startled from their dreams, Kirk and his two brothers couldn’t help but wonder—would they find enough food in the house for breakfast? Following a hostile exit from New York’s upper-class society, newly divorced Wendy and her three sons are exiled from the East Coast elite circle. Wendy’s middle son, Kirk, is eight when she moves the family to her native Bermuda, leaving the three young boys to fend for themselves as she chases after the highs of her old life: alcohol, a wealthy new suitor, and other indulgences. After eventually leaving his mother’s dysfunctional orbit for college in New Orleans, Kirk begins to realize how different his family and upbringing is from that of his friends and peers. Split between rich privilege—early years living in luxury on his family’s private compound—and bare survival—rationing food and water during the height of his mother’s alcoholism—Kirk is used to keeping up appearances and burying his inconvenient truths from the world, until he’s eighteen and falls in love for the first time. A keenly observed, fascinating window into the life of extreme privilege and a powerful story of self-acceptance, Filthy Beasts is “a stunning, deeply satisfying story about how we outlive our upbringings” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). |

| mideast beast: Pentecost TC Joseph, 2014-09-30 “A smartly written theological adventure from a dexterous student of biblical prophecy.” —Kirkus Reviews “. . . an audacious apocalyptic epic that fuses Christian myth and prophecy with science fiction elements.” —BlueInk Review From 1969 to 1989, Kim, Chris, and several others are affected by the schemes of an evil group intent on world domination. As Kim’s half-brother, Father Benny Cross, attempts to attain a more powerful position in the Vatican hierarchy, he is aided by a multi-million dollar loan negotiated with Kim’s son, Michael. Meanwhile, Kim finds herself attracted to a devout priest who has lost everything in a brutal war. Determined to not break his vows, Father Chris agrees to a friendship with Kim with the hope he can once again know the joy of family. Now Benny’s loan is due and he doesn’t have the money. In exchange for a position of power in the Vatican, he gave it to international financier Luciano Begliali, whose goal is to enslave the world under the dictatorship of an engineered, alien-human hybrid. Michael’s reluctance to renew the loan draws him into the world of intrigue surrounding Benny and eventually puts him at odds with his brother Gabe. Kim and Chris struggle to hold their family together even as Chris works behind the scenes to thwart Benny’s plans. Now only time will tell who, if anyone, can save the world from the encroaching evil. In this continuing tale of three families and cosmic conspiracies, good battles evil as the fate of the world is decided in one thunderous crack. |
| mideast beast: The Islamic Antichrist John Preacher, 2012-10-13 God has begun to reveal the truth about the End Days and the Rise of the Islamic Antichrist, whom the Muslims call Imam Madhi. In this book we will show conclusively that only Islam can fill the role of the Antichrist. You will be shown how Islam is trying to revive its Islamic Caliphate in the Middle-East, which perfectly fulfils the role of the Biblical Empire of the Beast. And also how Islam is planning to create a New Islamic World Order, through Global Jihad, which will begin with the conquering of Jerusalem. We'll compare Muslim tradition about the Last Days and Christian end time scripture, only to discover some shocking revelations, that have remained hidden until now, which will tear the veil and mystery off the end days for good. Finally you'll discover what the Real Mark of the Beast is, and how it connects to 666. Even the book of Revelation has been made easy to understand, and you'll be shown exactly what end time Global Disasters you can expect in chronological order. Jesus said many would be deceived by the signs and wonders of the Antichrist who claims to be God and his False Prophet. And a Great Apostasy and falling away from Jesus Christ will occur. This book aims to equip you with the knowledge you need, so as not to be deceived. God is revealing Satan's entire secret plan, which he doesn't want you to know. In order that none will perish though lack of knowledge. This book is God's warning to Muslims and all others who will listen, that terrible days of tribulation lie ahead, and that it's time to repent and get right with God, before its too late!

| mideast beast: Gorgeous Beasts Joan B. Landes, Paula Young Lee, Paul Youngquist, 2012-09-28 Gorgeous Beasts takes a fresh look at the place of animals in history and art. Refusing the traditional subordination of animals to humans, the essays gathered here examine a rich variety of ways animals contribute to culture: as living things, as scientific specimens, as food, weapons, tropes, and occasions for thought and creativity. History and culture set the terms for this inquiry. As history changes, so do the ways animals participate in culture. Gorgeous Beasts offers a series of discontinuous but probing studies of the forms their participation takes. This collection presents the work of a wide range of scholars, critics, and thinkers from diverse disciplines: philosophy, literature, history, geography, economics, art history, cultural studies, and the visual arts. By approaching animals from such different perspectives, these essays broaden the scope of animal studies to include specialists and nonspecialists alike, inviting readers from all backgrounds to consider the place of animals in history and art. Combining provocative critical insights with arresting visual imagery, Gorgeous Beasts advances a challenging new appreciation of animals as co-inhabitants and co-creators of culture. Aside from the editors, the contributors are Dean Bavington, Ron Broglio, Mark Dion, Erica Fudge, Cecilia Novero, Harriet Ritvo, Nigel Rothfels, Sajay Samuel, and Pierre Serna. |
| mideast beast: Why Still Care about Israel? Sandra Teplinsky, 2013-09-01 Could you be asking all the wrong questions about Israel? Conversation about the Arab-Israeli conflict usually starts by asking if God is for or against the Jewish state--or Palestinians, Arabs or Muslims. In this updated and urgent book, Sandra Teplinsky, an American-Israeli Jewish believer, shows why many Christians are asking the wrong questions about Israel. With gracious honesty and solid biblical insight, she unravels the mystery and controversy of Israel--and shows how it impacts you--by taking you into the Lord's passion for all humankind.

| mideast beast: Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam Richard McCallum, 2024-02-08 Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Who was Muhammad? How does the Israeli–Palestinian conflict affect Christian–Muslim relations? This is a book about Evangelical Christians and how they are answering challenging questions about Islam. Drawing on over 300 texts published by Evangelicals in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, this book explores what the Evangelical micro-public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian–Muslim relations today. From the books they write, the blogs they post and the videos they make, it is clear that Evangelical Christians profoundly disagree with one another when discussing Islam. Answers to the questions range from seeing Muslims as the enemy posing an existential threat to Christians, through to welcoming them as good neighbours or even as close cousins. |
| mideast beast: Between Babel and Beast Peter J. Leithart, 2012-07-06 The United States is one of history's great Christian nations, but our unique history, success, and global impact have seduced us into believing we are something more--God's New Israel, the new order of the ages, the last best hope of mankind, a redeemer nation. Using the subtle categories that arise from biblical narrative, Between Babel and Beast analyzes how the heresy of Americanism inspired America's rise to hegemony while blinding American Christians to our failures and abuses of power. The book demonstrates that the church best serves the genuine good of the United States by training witnesses--martyr-citizens of God's Abrahamic empire. |

| mideast beast: PROPHECY AND RECENT EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST Chuck Lee, 2025-01-26 Prophecy and Recent Events in the Middle East: Framing Israel’s and America’s Future traces Old- and New-Testament prophetic events beginning with the patriarch Abram’s fathering of two sons who form the roots of religions now at war. Prophecy details how the fulfillment of these events is impacting Israel, the United States, and the world today, and will impact the entire world in the near future. Prophecy documents ancient Biblical prophecies fulfilled in God’s modern miracle—the nation of Israel. It identifies and describes future wars that Israel will be forced to fight; it documents the construction of the third temple; it examines ancient prophecies of a future tribulation time; it confirms God’s commitment to Israel’s survival and His destruction of their enemies. Prophecy documents how the prophecies of Old Testament prophets Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Jeremiah, Joel, Asaph, and Isaiah correlate perfectly with New Testament prophecies of Jesus and His apostles John, Paul, Peter, and Jude to show God’s power and total control as this present age comes to an end. |
