Before and after the presidency of Donald Trump, the United States was—and now is again—on an intentional trajectory to fulfill what famous Freemason Manly P. Hall described as The Secret Destiny of America. Hall’s book includes future national and global subservience to the god of Freemasonry, a deity most Americans would not imagine when reciting the pledge of allegiance to “one nation under God.”

This gripping exposé unveils the sinister machinations and dark deeds of the Vatican, exposing its complicity in some of the most heinous atrocities known to humanity.

This book materialized in response to the need for a beginner’s guide to the message of Isaiah, one that captures its main points in a single volume. This is a simple handbook—one that nevertheless has depth. Taking simplification even further, Chapter One, “Overviews of Isaiah’s Prophecy,” summarizes the main points of Isaiah’s message in itself, while the following chapters expand upon them. Of necessity, therefore, some redundancy exists as Isaiah’s prophecies are explained first in part and later more fully.

Signs are converging as prophetic pieces rapidly fall into place. Jesus is coming soon to remove His followers from the earth in the greatest rescue mission in history: the Rapture of the Church. In What's Next? Preparing for the Rapture, Bible teachers Jimmy Evans and Mark Hitchcock provide an authoritative and comprehensive look at this imminent event.

The book of Nehemiah chronicles some of the most dramatic and difficult days recorded in the history of the Jewish nation. During the period that followed the Babylonian exile, the people of God returned to their homeland only to find it in a state of ruin, shame, and disgrace. The city of Jerusalem lay desolate, and the people of God were discouraged. Yet, against this dark background, the LORD caused a ray of hope to shine forth. Hundreds of miles away in the court of the Persian king, God had prepared a man named Nehemiah for a very special task.

What to Expect When You're Dead chronicles the ways ancient peoples answered questions such as: How to achieve a good death and afterlife? What's the best way to dispose of a body? Do the dead face a postmortem judgement—and where do they end up? Do the dead have bodies in the afterlife—and can they eat, drink, and have sex? And what can the living do to stay on good terms with the nonliving?

A strange phenomenon has gripped Protestantism in recent decades: many of its best and brightest thinkers have converted to Roman Catholicism. Likewise, many earnest, normal believers have found Protestantism shallow in doctrine, history, ethics, and worship, and made the leap to Rome. How can Protestants make sense of this? In this short and penetrating book, originally published as a series of essays, Brad Littlejohn and Chris Castaldo insightfully diagnose the psychological, theological, and sociological factors behind Protestant conversions to Rome.

Flat Earth is not a conspiracy. Far from it. Did you know the entire heliocentric system of a globe Earth rotating and revolving around the sun with other planets was actually designed after ancient occultic beliefs? The heliocentric system is not real. It never was, but its imaginary design fulfills Satan’s grand purpose of misdirecting the human race away from the True Creator God. The elaborate scheme constructed over centuries, launched officially with Copernicus’ book in 1543, has been Satan’s single greatest act of sorcery and occult magic on Earth.

Modern Christianity is in the midst of a veritable schism along the fault lines of society's culture wars. Only if we understand the origins of this split can we find our way to unity. Though few may realize it today, Jesus's ministry unfolded in a crisis very similar to the one society is now battling. In fact, were it not for the truly catastrophic conditions in early first-century Galilee, his reimagining of the three quintessential virtues of the Torah—social justice; compassion toward one another; and an abiding love of God—would have likely failed to attract a wide following.

The Teaching of the Heart has been given to Mankind as a Great Revelation of the Cosmic Light Forces standing guard over not only the planet Earth, but the entire Solar System too. The Messengers of Distant Worlds and unknown star systems, the Masters of Wisdom have Revealed the secret Treasures of Shambhala to you that store secret scrolls since time immemorial.

Servant ministry is a fundamental theme in the Bible, emphasizing the call to serve others selflessly and humbly, following the example of Jesus Christ. Here are key aspects and biblical references that highlight the concept of servant ministry.

The ancient Mediterranean teemed with gods. For centuries, a practical religious pluralism prevailed. How, then, did one particular god come to dominate the politics and piety of the late Roman Empire? In Ancient Christianities, Paula Fredriksen traces the evolution of early Christianity—or rather, of early Christianities—through five centuries of Empire, mapping its pathways from the hills of Judea to the halls of Rome and Constantinople.

In Can You Be a Catholic and a Feminist? Rubio argues that Catholic feminist identity is only tenable if we frankly acknowledge tensions between Catholicism and feminism, bring forward shared concerns, and embrace the future with ambiguity and creativity. Rubio explores the potential for synergy and dialogue between Catholics and feminists through various lenses, including sexual violence, gender theory, pregnancy and prenatal loss, work-life balance, relationships and family life, spirituality, conscience, and what it means to be human.

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist—but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy—a woman who rides the beast. Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn’t such a view outdated? After all, today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear.

Rachel Meller was never close to her aunt Lisbeth, a cool, unemotional woman with a drawling Viennese-Californian accent, a cigarette in her hand. But when Lisbeth died, she left Rachel an intricately carved Chinese box with a sunflower clasp. Inside the box were photographs, letters and documents that led Rachel to uncover a story she had never known: that of a passionate Jewish teenager growing up in elegant Vienna, who was caught up by war, and forced to flee to Shanghai.

Imagine sharing your home with the mother of the Messiah. From the cross, Jesus gasped his final instructions: "Woman, behold, your son." Remarkably, Jesus was giving his mother, Mary, to his beloved disciple, John. Then, Jesus declared this to his dear friend: "Behold, your mother." (John 19:26-27) Immediately, this new holy family was thrust into the unknowable, along with the Messiah's closest followers. As they struggle through the vicious trauma of the Lord's crucifixion and death.

It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy.

Am 31. Oktober 2017 jährt sich zum 500. Mal der Thesenanschlag Martin Luthers an die Tür der Schlosskirche zu Wittenberg. Dieses Ereignis und sein gewaltiger Nachhall fordern nicht nur die Katholische Kirche, sondern auch alle anderen am Dialog beteiligten Personen und Gruppen heraus, ihren je eigenen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur des Reformationszubiläums beizusteuern. Dass ein solcher Beitrag aus den Reihen der Bahá'í-Gemeinde kommt, mag zunächst überraschen, denn lange Zeit war das Verhältnis der Evangelischen Kirchen zur Bahá'í-Gemeinde eisig und von aggressiver Apologetik begleitet.

There is a reason that the phrase "spiritual but not religious" exists. Now more than ever, people are finding it difficult to reconcile their experiences or worldviews with the anxiety that organized religion too often creates. When we embrace the message but mistrust the institution, anxiety is at work. When we cling to a particular faith but struggle to reconcile ourselves to its beliefs and practices, anxiety is present. When we are drawn to mysticism, meaning, and wonder but burdened by religious baggage, we are longing to be Spiritual But Not Anxious.

يحكي هذا الكتاب عن حالة إنسان قد كشفت له الحياة عن جواهرها ومكنون أسرارها فأصبح ملكا على عرش نفسه باحثا عن الله في كل شيء جميل، وغدا يرقص من اعماق روحه مع الحياة بدون ان يتعلق بها ويقرأ كتاب الغابة من خلال بذرة صغيرة ويذوب في صلاته بالفطرة بلات توجيه من شيخ قاسي القلب او من قس احمق.

"The Confession of Pontius Pilate" is a fascinating dramatic dialogue between Pontius Pilate and his close friend Fabricius in which he recounts, from his perspective, the events surrounding the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether the author was Fabricius himself, or it was written by an unknown author at a later date, the story sticks closely to the biblical narrative while providing additional insights into the internal conflicts of Pontius Pilate over his role in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ that led to his eventual suicide.

Studies find that the most frequent reason for rejecting Christianity is that people could not get answers to their doubts. Finding Truth unpacks strategic principles that penetrate to the core of any perspective, to uncover its deepest motivations and weigh its claims.

The earliest Christians believed Jesus was an ancient celestial being who put on a bodysuit of flesh, died at the hands of dark forces, and then rose from the dead and ascended back into the heavens. But the writing we have today from that first generation of Christians never says where they thought he landed, where he lived, or where he died. The idea that Jesus toured Galilee and visited Jerusalem arose only a lifetime later, in unsourced legends written in a foreign land and language. Many sources repeat those legends, but none corroborate them.
