  • DOCTRINE of the MILLENNIUM May 26, 1987
    DOCTRINE OF THE MILLENNIUM May 26, 1987 I. Definition: it constitutes the final 1,000 years of human history before the eternal state, extending from the Second Advent to the dissolution of original creation (Rev.20:2-7; cp. 20:11ff; 21:1). II. Synonyms. A. Thousand years (6X in Rev.20:2-7). B. Summer (Mt.24:32). C. Wedding supper (Rev.19:9; cp. Mt.25:1-13; 22:1ff). D. Rest (Jer.50:34; 30:10; 46:27; Zech.1:11). E. Kingdom of God (heaven; Dan.2:44,45; 7:13,14; Mt.25:1ff; 2Tim.4:1; 1Cor.15:24). F. Times of refreshing (Act.3:19). G. Time of restoration (Act.3:21). H. Day of the Lord (2Pet.3:10). This includes the Tribulation and 1,000 years. The Age of Aquarius (circa.2000), when peace will rule the planets. III. False views. A. Amillennial: says the 1,000 year references are figurative and that the present age is the Millennium. Augustine advanced this view in his work "City of God". The popular, modified Augustinian view espoused by modern amillennialists equates the Millennium with believers reigning with Christ in heaven. The binding of Satan is figurative for Christ's triumph over him at the Cross. Their Millennium ends with the second coming. For instance, the first resurrection is the Christian soul going to heaven at death, and the second resurrection is the resurrection of all men. B. Postmillennial: believe the gospel will be triumphant in the last 1,000 years of history and, when the world is converted, Christ will return.

  • The Complete X-Files Ebook
    THE COMPLETE X-FILES PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Chris Knowles,Matt Hurwitz | 224 pages | 23 Sep 2016 | Titan Books Ltd | 9781785654336 | English | London, United Kingdom The Complete X-Files PDF Book In one of the most tongue in cheek, unusual episodes of the series, Scully consults with a Truman Capote-like novelist who wants to write "non- fiction science fiction" based around an unusual x-file, giving an outsider's perspective to a case. You may not need files for most quick fixes. It's an unnerving, calculating episode, where the mere appearance of Modell onscreen spells very bad thing. There's also a lot of heart in the episode, with Boyle portraying a sensitive, gruff loner dealing with the worst of curses. The episode seems to be heavily influenced by the works of H. Essentially, the episode is about the government using television signals to drive people to madness. This not only makes filing faster but makes it much easier to find documents afterward. An FBI manhunt ensues, with agents in pursuit of an antagonist that can alter their very perceptions of reality. The beauty of customizing your filing system this way is that it can always be further subdivided and organized if you need to. This grisly, nightmare-inducing episode about an inbred family of killers was so terrifying and controversial that Fox famously decreed that it would never be aired again after its initial broadcast prompted a flood of complaints from concerned viewers. I could stop at that as a reason to watch, but there's more. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

  • Climate Changes Over the Past Millennium: ∗ Relationships with Mediterranean Climates( )
    IL NUOVO CIMENTO Vol. 29 C, N. 1 Gennaio-Febbraio 2006 DOI 10.1393/ncc/i2005-10223-1 Climate changes over the past millennium: ∗ Relationships with Mediterranean climates( ) M. E. Mann Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA, USA (ricevuto l’1 Settembre 2005) Summary. — Evidence is reviewed for climate change and its causes over the interval spanning roughly the past millennium. Particular emphasis is placed on patterns of climate change influencing Mediterranean climates of the Northern Hemi- sphere. The evidence is taken from studies using high-resolution climate “proxy” data sources, and climate modeling simulations. The available evidence suggests that forced changes in dynamical modes of variability including the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have played a key role in the patterns of climate variability in Mediterranean regions over the past millennium. PACS 92.60.Ry – Climatology. PACS 92.70.Gt – Climate dynamics. PACS 92.60.Wc – Weather analysis and prediction. PACS 01.30.Cc – Conference proceedings. I review here evidence for climate change and its causes over the interval spanning roughly the past millennium, with a focus on patterns of climate change influencing Mediterranean climates of the Northern Hemisphere. The evidence is taken from instru- mental and high-resolution climate “proxy” data sources, and climate modeling studies. Several research groups have recently developed annually-resolved, hemispheric recon- structions of Northern Hemisphere mean temperature changes over the past 500-2000 years suggesting anomalous late 20th century warmth at hemispheric or global scales (e.g. [28, 13, 21, 30, 34, 7]). In addition, a large number of simulations of Northern Hemi- sphere mean temperature spanning the past millennium or longer have been performed over the past few years using the full hierarchy of available climate models and estimates of past natural and anthropogenic radiative forcing histories [5,14,4,17,15,10,3,11].
