1 Tribulation
TRIBULATION: Living Through the End Times Rev. Lilli Nye May 23, 2004 A few weeks ago I stumbled across a news flash that the final installment of the “Left Behind” novel series was about to be published and had already sold 2 million copies prior to its release date. For those of you unfamiliar with the “Left Behind” phenomenon, it’s a techno-thriller series based upon the New Testament book of Revelation. The series outlines in vivid detail a particular Christian view of the end times (one that is not shared by many Christians, by the way). The books take the fantastic, mythological imagery in the book of Revelation and translate it into concrete terms and imagery from our time, with heavy doses of technology, conspiracy theory, and right-leaning politics. Just to give a sense of the gist of the series: The 12-book series kicks off with the Rapture, in which true believers in Jesus disappear into thin air because they have been, in a sense, supernaturally airlifted from earth in anticipation of the great Tribulation to come. Those left behind (hence the name of the series) must face seven years of global chaos before Jesus returns for the cosmic battle of Armageddon, the final battle between good and evil, and the final judgment of all souls. In the seven years of tribulation that the books cover, the world is ravaged by war, disaster, and plague, and is tyrannized by the rising Antichrist, who dominates the world from the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations. -
Colin Mcallister Regnum Caelorum Terrestre: the Apocalyptic Vision of Lactantius May 2016
Colin McAllister Regnum Caelorum Terrestre: The Apocalyptic Vision of Lactantius May 2016 Abstract: The writings of the early fourth-century Christian apologist L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius have been extensively studied by historians, classicists, philosophers and theologians. But his unique apocalyptic eschatology expounded in book VII of the Divinae Institutiones, his largest work, has been relatively neglected. This paper will distill Lactantius’s complex narrative and summarize his sources. In particular, I investigate his chiliasm and the nature of the intermediate state, as well as his portrayal of the Antichrist. I argue that his apocalypticism is not an indiscriminate synthesis of varying sources - as it often stated - but is essentially based on the Book of Revelation and other Patristic sources. +++++ The eminent expert on all things apocalyptic, Bernard McGinn, wrote: Even the students and admirers of Lactantius have not bestowed undue praise upon him. To Rene Pichon [who wrote in 1901 what is perhaps still the seminal work on Lactantius’ thought] ‘Lactantius is mediocre in the Latin sense of the word - and also a bit in the French sense’; to Vincenzo Loi [who studied Lactantius’ use of the Bible] ‘Lactantius is neither a philosophical or theological genius nor linguistic genius.’ Despite these uneven appraisals, the writings of the early fourth-century Christian apologist L. Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius [c. 250-325] hold, it seems, a little something for everyone.1 Political historians study Lactantius as an important historical witness to the crucial transitional period from the Great Persecution of Diocletian to the ascension of Constantine, and for insight into the career of the philosopher Porphyry.2 Classicists and 1 All dates are anno domini unless otherwise indicated. -

Rev 21: 10, and in the Spirit the Angel Carried Me Away to a Great, High Mountain and Showed Me the Holy City Jerusalem Coming Down out of Heaven from God
June 28, 2020 Rev. Jane Florence Title: Living a Dream or a Nightmare Text: Revelation 21 News flash: the world didn't end on Dec. 21, 2012. You've probably already figured that out for yourself. Maybe you remember all the warnings leading up to the end of 2012- the prophets and websites announced the end of the world. For years leading up to 2012, we were warned of an ancient Maya prophecy predicting the end of the world as their calendar signaled, or the end of the world due to a mysterious planet on a collision course with Earth for 2012 , or a reverse in Earth's rotation would cause all polarity on the planet to reverse. In spite of our best scientists, even NASA, telling people all these perditions lacked any scientific data, people still waited for the end of the world as we know it on Dec12, 2012. Okay, so it didn’t happen. Maybe those harbingers got the date reversed, was it a pre- apocalyptic dyslexia? Maybe it wasn’t 2012, but 2021! in which case our experience in 2020 might make sense. If we look back at ancient texts, people have been envisioning dramatic earth changes for ages. In John’s vision of Revelation, he too sees the end of the world- as we know it, but he does not see the destruction of the earth as modern predictions maintain. Listen with me to the 21st chapter in the Book of Revelation , the last book in the Christian scriptures: Rev 21: 10, And in the spirit the angel carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. -
Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas. -
New Age and Neopagan Religions in America
CHAPTER SEVEN The Age of Aquarius Although the idea of a New Age was popularized by Alice Bailey in the early twentieth century, the term had been around at least since the American Rev- olution before it was used self-consciously by Theosophists like her who be- lieved a “master” would come to enlighten humanity and usher us into a new age. The concept picked up relevance as the s counterculture looked to- ward the Age of Aquarius as a utopian future of peace and equality. Move- ments aimed at social and personal transformation that emerged or were given new meaning in the s continue to shape New Age and Neopagan religions. Ideas about the expected new era vary among Neopagans and New Agers, just as they ranged in the s from social revolution to com- munal escape from society. But most agree that it will include a changed dy- namic between men and women, healthy diet, holistic healing practices, and peacefulness. Along with and related to holistic healing and feminist restructuring, en- vironmentalist concerns are seen as key in bringing about the transformation of society. Many New Agers and Neopagans believe that an ecologically vi- able relationship to the natural world will characterize the future age, when humans will live more harmoniously on earth. Some also believe the earth it- self, a living being that has been ill used by humanity, will bring about cata- clysmic changes, while others expect a gradual dawning of enlightened con- sciousness among large numbers of people to usher in the New Age. Goddess religion will emerge from a “Great Purification,” claim some ob- servers, borrowing a phrase from Hopi prophecy: “Look at the freak weather phenomena all around us . -

Designed and edited by Ash Staunton Center cover image used with permission from Rino Di Stefano, ‘The Zanfretta Case: Chronicle of an Incredible True Story.’ 3 ~ In memory of Frederick Valentich. ~ (1958 - ?) 4 Introduction My hope is that this information will be useful for future generations, be it for entertainment or any other purpose, just hopefully useful. Something strange has been happening, perhaps for thousands of years, mostly ignored, covered up, debunked, but it still happens. Every day someone becomes part of the mystery. ‘Others’ amongst us are reaching out to us, be it from outer space, other dimensions, other realms, etc. Beware, some might not have the best intentions. But I feel this is a necessary process for our species to make that giant leap forward and become the Universal citizens that we were meant to be. 1975 was the year of the high profile Walton abduction and of SAC base intrusions. It was also a year of unrelenting humanoid activity and encounters almost at a worldwide scale. The United States was in the midst of an epidemic of mysterious and bizarre cattle mutilations. It remained the focus of activity as far as humanoid encounters. The same states reporting the cattle mutilations reported humanoid encounters.
