The Seven Angels Of The Apocalypse

The Seven Angels of the Apocalypse This is the third edition of The Seven Angels of the Apocalypse, sub-titled Fullness of Time. The main character, Michael Barone is shot in the chest with a 12 gauge deer slug at point blank range and is placed in a coma. While he is in the coma, the story rolls back 3,000 years to the life of one of his ancestors, Eli, the Judge of Israel. The story follows Eli’s priesthood line through the kingdoms of Saul, David and the anointing of Solomon. The story further continues with vignettes about the temple regalities, such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Breastplate and the Urimm and Thummin. Israel falls in and out of favor with God and finally is taken captive by the Babylonians. Later, Rome conquers Jerusalem and Pompey sends 30,000 Jews to populate his newly annexed Sicily. This is when Michael Barone’s bloodline moved from Israel to Sicily. 2,000 years later, the Seventh seal is unsealed, and the Barones heroically migrate to America, and grow as a family. Michael wakes from his coma in time to guide his family through the end times, into the days when the seven angels who are identified by the author come to blow their trumps. Each angel’s trumpet brings a catastrophe in fulfillment of St. Johns Revelation. In fact, St. John is one of the angels. This book is a realistic view of what happens during the end times. This is not just a good read. This is a wakeup call!

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.

It was hard to categorize The Seven Angels of the Apocalypse. It is fiction based on the truths that loom before us all. Chapter 1 is totally true, as the main character encounters a stigmatic, through a third party, on his 21st birthday ? the day he was to decide about becoming a priest. There are many other truths that manifest themselves throughout this book. The author is able to identify who the angels of the Apocalypse actually are by name, which is very bold, and is able to back these up with Biblical facts, that are thrown into this work. The author spins a web of world events that develop well, with many twists and turns, and in the end, all things come together, in a very climatic scene. Don?t overlook any details given by the author, as there are many covert themes present. He seems to say a lot with few words, as if he trusts the reader?s intelligence. Peter is able to bring these world events to a level that relate to the lives of everyday people, while giving us an insight to the way our world leaders would handle the apocalyptic situations. One point brought up by one of the book?s characters, Pope Peter II, is monumental, "The Bible is the most widely published book ever?why does no one know how it ends?" The insight the author has is straight forward, and Peter does not hesitate to challenge other schools of thought. The "Left Behind" theory is put under scrutiny, and the characters give argument to this widely accepted theory, quite successfully. The Seven Angels of the Apocalypse, is not a long, drawn out novel, which is good, because the readers attention will be so intense, that you just can?t put this book down. This book takes you from today, to the Second Coming. There will be a sequel, The Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, to take us from the Second Coming to the end of Revelations. Do not read this book before bedtime!

With a new foreword by David E. Aune, this modern classic by Colin J. Hemer explores the seven letters in the book of Revelation against the historical background of the churches to which they were addressed. Based on literary, epigraphical, and archaeological sources and informed by Hemer's firsthand knowledge of the biblical sites, this superb study presents in the clearest way possible a picture of the New Testament world in the later part of the first century and its significance for broader questions of church history.

The Book of Revelation presents the fascinating and terrifying story of what John reports happening to him while on the Mediterranean island of Patmos. It is a far more interesting story than the tired predictions of other would-be prophets whose many forecasts of the future have always failed to materialize. Tales of the End invites readers to hear John s story anew. Rather than forcing John s story into our time, it takes the reader back to the time of its original telling, exploring both what is told and how it is told examining its plot, characters, point of view, temporal perspective, narrator, listener, author and audience. Only then can we ask how this story bears on the modern world and how it addresses enduring human concerns. David Barr s narrative analysis uncovers a complex and compelling story addressed to the communities of Jesus followers in first-century Asia Minor, a story told vividly so that the audience can participate in John s extraordinary experience and so be transformed, adopting new values, new perspectives; indeed, a new understanding of what the world is really like.

Did Jesus claim to be the "bridegroom"? If so, what did he mean by this claim? When Jesus says that the wedding guests should not fast "while the bridegroom is with them" (Mark 2:19), he is claiming to be a bridegroom by intentionally alluding to a rich tradition from the Hebrew Bible. By eating and drinking with "tax collectors and other sinners," Jesus was inviting people to join him in celebrating the eschatological banquet. While there is no single text in the Hebrew Bible or the literature of the Second Temple Period which states the "messiah is like a bridegroom," the elements for such a claim are present in several texts in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Hosea. By claiming that his ministry was an ongoing wedding celebration he signaled the end of the Exile and the restoration of Israel to her position as the Lord's beloved wife. This book argues that Jesus combined the tradition of an eschatological banquet with a marriage metaphor in order to describe the end of the Exile as a wedding banquet.

Chapter 15 of the Book of Revelation begins with a vision of seven angels who pour their vials over the earth--the vials of the seven last plagues. As these vials are poured out, the Apostle John describes rivers and seas turned to blood, thunders and lightnings, a great earthquake, and darkness. What does this prophecy mean for us today? Here is the real story of what is happening on planet earth--and what will happen--from the point of view of the seven archangels. Read their words and learn how you can navigate through these challenging times.
