Antichrist

A three-fold depiction is presented here with the evidentiary value of the collected virginity cloth. One depiction is the bloodshed that is occurring on Earth during the tribulation, and a second depiction is the intimacy of each of us having our works opened at the Judgment Seat of Christ while we are in heaven during this time. I will discuss this heavenly honeymoon intimacy in a moment. The third depiction of a consummation taking place here are the final preparations in heaven to go get…

What View am I? When I read Tenny 's explanation of 'The Millennial Views ', I thought to myself what view am I? I also pondered, just how much do I really believe and understand the book of Revelation? First, I do believe it was a revelation from Jesus Christ which God gave to him. There are so many variations of what is the truth. However, God tells us at the beginning of Revelation that he is the author. Therefore, God is the author, Jesus is the Revelation and John is the literal…

In the 2002 movie, Left Behind 2: Tribulation Force, an angel of the Lord appeared to the two main characters at the Wailing Wall, prior to launching a plan against the antichrist and said, “May the glory of the Lord be upon you” (Van Heerden & Lalonde, 2002, scene 12). While the characters in the movie comprehended what the angel of the Lord was communicating, the average viewer, more than likely, did not. As the movie unfolded to the climactic end, fairly obvious was how the magnificence of…

Reverend Hooper dons a black veil, much to the horror of the community he resides in. Hawthorne left Hooper’s, and his own, intentions for doing this ambiguous; Many interpreters have argued whether Hooper was meant to be a paragon of virtue or an Antichrist figure. Going off archetypes such as religion, death, and symbolism (with the veil being a prominent symbol), and Hawthorne’s own experiences, it can be said that Hooper is a deeply religious man trying to do God’s work. Like…

God puts a high value on religion and warns of its destruction when he sees, “what looks like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, the ones who have been victorious over the beast and its reputation over the number of its name.” (Revelation 15:2). These beasts have special demonic powers of communication for they can speak of the devil. They pawn themselves off as the Lamb, the Messiah, and as they represent the world’s ecumenical religion they eventually destroy God’s…

The first gothic novel The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, published in 1764, substantially contained all the paramount elements of the gothic genre. Supernatural, old castles, omens, prophecies, frantic emotions, the air of mystery and suspense, patriarchy and a woman in distress form the basic but essential foundation to this genre. From The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole to “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe to several contemporary works in the gothic genre, we see…

Catholicism like Islam, wants booty and takes and gives nothing back. Is that not the goal of pirates? Does Spain even have any gold now? At the end of WWII, all the gold reaped from Europe and from the Jews in particular, went to the Vatican. Now the Vatican sits on monumental wealth and could well afford to return the gold stolen from Mexico but won't lift a finger. The Mexicans eye the prosperity of the USA with greed to provide more wealth for a Catholic church who rapes their children and…

Ali Ahmad Said Esber, known in the Western world as Adūnīs wrote A Time Between Ashes and Roses in Arabic in 1971. Shawkat Toorawa translated it in 2004. Adūnīs is a Syrian poet, essayist, translator and a literary critic, and he was the most controversial literary figure in the Arab world during the second half of the twentieth century. His poems received stern criticism by many Arab literary scholars and religious entities, resulting in death threats. He was forced into exile to Lebanon…

The Protestant Reformation was a major turning point in history. At this point in time, the Catholic Church was the center of all power. There was no separation between church and state. The more power the church was receiving the more power it wanted to claim. The Catholic Church was beginning to take advantage of the common people by trying to sell indulgence. This drew the Augustinian monk, who later became a priest, Martin Luther to remove himself from the church and practice a new meaning…

I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook —…
