  • 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.

Date: ……………………………………………. 2 | P a g e Abstract This thesis features two case studies exploring the George W. Bush Administration’s (2001 – 2009) efforts to promote democracy in the Arab world, following military occupation in Iraq, and through ‘democracy support’ or ‘democracy assistance’ in Lebanon. While reviewing well rehearsed arguments that emphasise the inappropriateness of the methods employed to promote Western liberal democracy in Middle East countries and the difficulties in the way of democracy being fostered by foreign powers, it focuses on two factors that also contributed to derailing the U.S.’s plans to introduce ‘Western style’ liberal democracy to Iraq and Lebanon.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: ROBOTICS and the FUTURE OF
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ROBOTICS AND THE FUTURE OF INTERNATIONAL ASYMMETRIC WARFARE Nicholas Grossman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor George Quester, Department of Government and Politics In the post-Cold War world, the world's most powerful states have cooperated or avoided conflict with each other, easily defeated smaller state governments, engaged in protracted conflicts against insurgencies and resistance networks, and lost civilians to terrorist attacks. This dissertation explores various explanations for this pattern, proposing that some non-state networks adapt to major international transitions more quickly than bureaucratic states. Networks have taken advantage of the information technology revolution to enhance their capabilities, but states have begun to adjust, producing robotic systems with the potential to grant them an advantage in asymmetric warfare.

  • 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.

FREEH, FORMER DIRECTOR OF THE FBI 9:01 A.M. EDT, TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 2004 MR. KEAN: (Sounds gavel.) Good morning. As chair of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States, I hereby convene this commission's 10th public hearing. The hearing will run all today and tomorrow. Our focus for the next two days will be "Law Enforcement and the Intelligence Community." As we did with our two prior sets of hearings this calendar year, we precede each series of witnesses with a statement from the Commission staff. These statements are informed by the work of the Commissioners, as well as the staff, and they represent the staff's best efforts to reconstruct the factual record of what happened. Judgments and recommendations are for commissioners and the Commission to make, and of course we'll do that in the course of our work, and most definitively and finally in our final report. Viewers, by the way, who are watching at home can obtain staff statements at www.9-11commission.gov. Before we begin, let me make just a brief request to members of the audience who have taken the time to be with us today. We're going to be hearing from a lot of witnesses in the course of the next two days.

He was offered full scholarship awards to three major US physics graduate schools to pursue his graduate physics studies. However, he chose instead to postpone graduate studies for a period of three years while he traveled and taught Physics and Mathematics in Spanish in Latin America. During this time he spent a good deal of time traveling to ruins of ancient cities and archeological sites, studying firsthand many times as the ruins were dug from under dirt that had not been moved for thousands of years. Also during this time he developed the basis for his theoretical work that would, at a later date, deal with the celestial mechanics of N-bodies and plasma physics.
