Mbosowo and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the truth revealed from the mystery hidden in the Book of Revelation. The Book of Revelation is about the missing information revealed to John because there was no record in the Bible about what happened to the perfect creation in Genesis 1:1. There was no record about Adam, created by the I AM, as the first God and his generations before this present world. The Bible has not recorded the lineage of Jesus from the I AM in order to present to the world who is Jesus. This is the truth that must be known. The Book of Revelation had been misunderstood because of the political interpretation of its images. In John 8:32, Jesus says, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" Here, the truth, refers to Jesus who has power to set humanity free from the bondage of the God of this world. Jesus declares in John 14: 6, that He is the "Truth". After the gospel had been preached for thousands of years, humanity is still in captivity of the God of this world. Many people keep asking why a good God can allow these types of suffering. This shows that Jesus the "Truth" is not yet known. Confessing Jesus as a Savior is different from knowing Him. This has been done for thousands of years and the world is getting worst. When Jesus, the "Truth" is known, He will set humanity free from this spiritual enslavement. The revealed truth from the mystery in the Book of Revelation, presented here, is a divine journey toward knowing Jesus, the "Truth". I encourage everyone to read this book.

This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the Christian faith, the seven churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Laodicea, and Philadelphia received the message that would capture the minds and imaginations of Christians the world over for the next two thousand years. In their own way, each group faced Satan's deceptions, with a variety of results. Much as today's Christians, they thought they knew how best to honor God's will. Despite the influence of spiritual giants such as the apostles Peter, John and Paul, they were left to question the meaning of their mentors' words, including those found within the book of Revelation. As they pondered its meaning, and wondered how this book could possibly affect their own spiritual journeys its meaning would remain hidden from them. In our own times, we still do not know the timing of God's will. But with this Revelation of Christ it is possible to know our own significance in God's plan. And so the question remains: when the time comes for Christ to return, will we be prepared? Since its first written record, the book of Revelation has been one of the greatest puzzles that God has ever given mankind to solve. Layered with mysterious symbolism and hidden truths, this Revelation of Christ that was given to the apostle John, produces as many questions as answers. Ultimately, many Christians know that the book of Revelation contains the answers to some of the most important and pressing questions for our destiny with eternity, but few of them actually realize how important it is right now as a guide to their very salvation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than Conquerors The book of Romans is the foundational book for the Christian life. It contains the power for the gospel of the grace of God to change lives and enable believers to be more than conquerors and truly reign in life by Jesus Christ. So how do we discover all of the richness and power God freely gives? More Than Conquerors digs deep into the book of Romans and is a commentary and reference aid for the serious Bible student. Each chapter is based off the corresponding chapter in Romans, and author and preacher Michael J. Tiry offers rich verse-by-verse notes and commentary that can help students understand the meanings of Paul’s statements and find references to other portions of the Bible. But more so, these commentaries can help readers mature as Christians and come to know God’s Word and his truth. The book of Romans contains insight that is found nowhere else; it focuses on the ultimate work of Jesus Christ as Creator and Redeemer. And by studying Romans, Christians can see how it is that God joined us into an eternal spiritual union with Jesus Christ to provide total victory over sin and death.

This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written in an engaging and entertaining manner, this new book from leading Catholic biblical scholar Henry Wansbrough charts the use and abuse of scripture throughout the ages. It ranges from the evangelists' engagement with the Hebrew Scriptures to the use of the Bible in present day politics - perhaps most pertinently in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Wansbrough takes as his starting point Frances Young's The Art of Performance . This enables him to creatively display how 'The Bible' is 'performed' differently in different ages. Wansbrough demonstrates the variety of these performances and their different emphases in the history of Christianity to glimpse the different ways in which great figures within the Christian tradition have used and abused the Bible. Indirectly, therefore, it attacks the ever-present danger of fundamentalism, and single-minded interpretation of the Bible. Viewing the interpretation of the Bible against the background of various historical periods gives a valuable insight into the long and rich history of the Church. A final chapter provides a 'worked example' of Lecto Divina providing a window into the author's personal life of praying the Bible.

This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Incredible Key reveals life-giving understanding of Revelation, and time-sensitive answers for our times, which, by the Spirit, engenders greater passion for Christ, for those who have, or who want to have, a hungry heart; those who are looking for the appearing of their Bridegroom, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. We are living in the prophesied time of the end. The world is turning upside-down. The trial of our faith is intensifying. We need sound, biblical answers, and not merely fiction and speculation. We need answers, not only for ourselves, but for our children and grandchildren, and for our fellow believers in the body of Christ. The "Mystery of God," as stated in Revelation 10:7, is The Incredible Key. It is this Key which finally unlocks the Book of Revelation and the Endtimes for Christians living in a hostile and chaotic world. Without The Incredible Key, it is impossible to understand the chronology of major Endtime events, as laid out in the Book of Revelation: The last trumpet, resurrection, rapture, judgment and rewarding of the saints, and, the Marriage of the Lamb. The Mystery of God is the Key! The Mystery is specifically referred to, by name, nearly 20 times in 13 different chapters in 7 of the New Testament books written by the apostles John and Paul. The truths of the Mystery are contained and described in 10 major factors. It is further amplified in 35 distinctive details. The Mystery of God was so important and impactful to the Apostle Paul that he declared three times that he had been put in prison, specifically for teaching and preaching this Mystery! During the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament, the early Church made that vital pivot from old to new on the basis of the prophesied and newly revealed truths of the Mystery of God. The Apostle Paul declared four times that this Mystery had been concealed by God Himself in the Old Testament, revealed in the New Testament, and is yet to be completely fulfilled at the Marriage of the Lamb. All of these things were prophesied-and, are part of The Incredible Key that Unlocks the Book of Revelation and the Endtimes. Published by Burkhart Books, Bedford, Texas www.BurkhartBooks.com

This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Paul used language similar to the religions and cultures of his time, he had a unique understanding of the “mystery” of God. The once-hidden plan of God was revealed and fulfilled in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Saul of Tarsus experienced a fundamental change when he encountered the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus. This vision gave him new direction and purpose and profoundly changed his understanding of God’s plan for humanity. Paul often uses the phrase “in Christ” or its variations to describe this plan. Being in Christ results in transformation into Christ’s likeness of holiness and love through the indwelling Holy Spirit. Those in Christ form a new community that crosses ethnic barriers, is bound together in fellowship with the Triune God, and fulfills its purpose of holiness before him. Paul’s answer to the struggles people face is simple: when one is united with Christ by dying to the old self and committing to his supremacy, one will find victory over any force opposed to us in this world. This book explores one of the most profound claims in the New Testament that demands a response of its readers.
