BP Pangs FINAL 2 3 Ron Cantor's book on the end-times, Birth Pangs, is biblical, clear, bold, compassionate, and practical. Thank you, Ron, for your many years of consistent labor and serving others in the Kingdom, because of your love for Yeshua and His beloved people. MIKE BICKLE International House of Prayer of Kansas City I am grateful that in the past number of years I have been privileged to cross paths with Ron Cantor. He has become a dear friend. I am always attentive to his insights and his understanding prophetically of what unfolds as we move toward all that Christ intends in his Church and the Kingdom. His heart is impassioned for the truth that is in Christ Jesus. “Birth Pangs” is a word in season from a brother who continually and consistently bears witness to the hope that lies within him. Thanks, Ron, for being a faithful witness. DR. MARK CHIRONNA Lead Pastor, Church on the Living Edge, Orlando We are in critical days that call for wise action and positioning. Ron Cantor is a voice I trust in the midst of chaos and disruption. His book, Birth Pangs, will prepare you to stand unwavering in your faith in this vital hour. It is a must read for the Body of Christ. PATRICIA KING Author, Minister, Television Host Ron Cantor writes with clarity, passion and a trustworthy spiritual compass in these very relevant chapters. You may not agree with it all but I hope you will agree with most of what he writes in this book. His intuitive sense, combined with keen knowledge of what is going on, makes for an important read. DR. DANIEL C. JUSTER Restoration from Zion Ron Cantor does not mince words. This book pulsates with an urgent message for you and for me: PREPARE! Birth Pangs will help you get ready for the days coming upon us —days of both weighty trials and the weight of God’s glory. EITAN SHISHKOFF Founder, Tents of Mercy Kiryat Yam, Israel 4 I believe Birth Pangs is one of the most consequential and urgent books written this year—because it is more than a book—it is a timeless resource that answers many of the questions being asked today in light of the world-changing events of 2020. Birth Pangs is filled with scripture and biblical perspectives for the last days in which we find ourselves.

I could not have finished this so quickly without the help of several people. First, my amazing wife, Elana who came with me to Jerusalem in late July, where I did little else but write for three days straight. We had breakfast and dinner together—I think. Felipe Hasegawa, our Director of Communications at Tikkun International and Revive Israel. He pushed this project through, finding editors, proofreaders and designers. I want to thank Diego Polly for the great graphic design for the cover, the www.birth- bangs.com website, and the overall branding for Birth Pangs. Karen Metteer carefully edited Birth Pangs and Lynn Frederick, Deb Neybert and Jeff Snyder all proofread the manuscript and offered helpful insights. One of my life-long mentors, Dr. Daniel C. Juster, has been a great encouragement, both when I presented chapters to him for a possible book and when he read the manuscript. His tips have made the book better and his praise gave me the courage to press forward with a difficult word. Of course, thank you to the whole Tikkun Global Family (www.tikkun.tv) of leaders for your covenant commitment to each other and the kingdom. Thank you to the Revive Israel support team for all your hard work in helping us to package our message. And thank you to Ward Simpson and the entire teams of GOD TV and Shelanu.tv. Let’s continue to reveal Yeshua to Israel and the nations through media. —————— Note: We didn’t go the traditional publishing route, as that would have added six months to a year until publication. We felt this was a ‘now’ word. If you happen to find any typos, please send them to [email protected]. Thank you. 10 DEDICATION To the end-time saints, who will endure until the end. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels (Revelation 3:5 NKJ) 11 Foreword—Ward Simpson I believe this is one of the most consequential and urgent books written this year— because it is more than a book—it is a timeless resource that answers many of the questions being asked today in light of the world-changing events of 2020. Birth Pangs is filled with scripture and biblical perspectives for these last days in which we find ourselves. Regardless of your theology, Ron clearly delivers the word that Yeshua (Jesus) is coming again and it could be very soon. Too many believers have become complacent—a feeling of contentment or security, often while unaware of some imminent danger. Proverbs 1:32 says “complacency will destroy you.” How sad is this? What a tragedy! Thus, the reason for this book: God is preparing us for His Son’s return. He is fulfilling Scripture; we are experiencing the beginning of birth pangs. He is sending us signals that Messiah’s return could be around the corner and is warning us to heed to His words and to prepare to meet the King. This book touches the very heart of God, by sounding the alarm, calling the bride to make herself ready, and to prepare for the coming of the bridegroom. Birth Pangs will certainly open your understanding of the times in which we are living, tell you what to expect, and how to prepare for the coming days. This is not a time to be inactive, but rather a time to be proactive. This is a sobering day we are living in, yet exciting and expectant at the same time. This is what we have been waiting for! This has been our destination and it is certainly our destiny. Jesus is coming! Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm! God is not only calling His people to prepare but He is reminding us of the urgency of the hour of harvest time. It is every believer’s responsibility to share the good news of Messiah to a lost world—to be agents of change. “For we are God's workmanship … (His thermostat!) ... created in Messiah Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10) Do you know the difference between a thermometer and a thermostat? A thermometer only reads the atmosphere, while a thermostat works to change it. It's not enough to look at your world, your community, your workplace, or your family and say, “Everything will be ok." That is false security! That is withholding truth. That is potentially allowing people to slip into eternity, unprepared and unrepentant. Birth Pangs is a word from God and clearly points to Scripture and not to some vision or dream which is based on experiences rather than the word of God.

Continuum is available online at: http:// www.tandfonline.com with the open URL of your article. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/48836 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Desiring Dexter: the pangs and pleasures of serial killer body technique Stephanie Green1 School of Humanities, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Abstract The television series Dexter uses the figure of appealing monstrosity to unfold troubled relationships between corporeality, spectatorship and desire. Through a plastic-wrapped display of body horror, lightly veiled by suburban romance, Dexter turns its audience on to the consuming sensations of blood, death and dismemberment while simultaneously alluding to its own narrative and ethical contradictions. The excitations of Dexter are thus encapsulated within a tension between form and content as ambivalent and eroticised desire; both for heroic transgression and narrative resolution. Arguably, however, it is Dexter’s execution of a carefully developed serial killer body technique which makes this series so compelling. Through an examination of Dexter and his plotted body moves, this paper explores the representations of intimacy and murderous identity in this contemporary example of domestic screen horror entertainment. Keywords: Dexter, body-technique, desire, crime television, horror 1 [email protected] Launched in 2006, the television drama series Dexter has been a ratings record- breaker for its network producers (Showtime, CBS 2007-2011).
