Download or read book BESORAH written by Olufemi Oni and published by Olufemi Oni. This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The message of the King was hijacked by His enemies, and dressed in the garb of abominable religions much in the same way that a woman works yeast into a dough ball and makes them into three portions. The three Abrahamic religions of Talmudic Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to have the message of eternal hope for humanity, but a closer examination reveals otherwise. In five chapters of sizzling revelations, the author takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey to rediscover the lost message of the Kingdom, unravelling mysteries previously unknown and new depths of insights into the most important event that is yet to come - The Restoration of the Kingdom of Heaven. There is truth to be told, hope to be renewed and judgment to be declared. Tables will be shaken, secrets will be exposed, the hidden will be revealed, and dry bones shall rise. He who took captive shall be taken captive; he who killed with the sword must be killed with the sword. Saviors will arise from Mount Tsiyon to judge the mount of Edom, Babylon will fall, and the Kingdom will be Yahuah's forever.
