Book Synopsis NEW YORK CITY and the Coming Babylon Calamity by : William A. Grissom
Download or read book NEW YORK CITY and the Coming Babylon Calamity written by William A. Grissom and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2021-08-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compelling evidence is given to show that the sudden destruction of the great city "Babylon" -portrayed in the Bible's book of Revelation as a seductive prostitute -is a veiled prophecy of the impending annihilation of modern-day New York City. As a combination of Bible study and personal testimony, this book recounts the author's seemingly mundane personal experience and follow-up events that triggered this alarming view over fifty-five years ago. The investigation uncovers solid scriptural evidence that "Babylon" symbolizes a real physical city, and that New York City uniquely matches the identifying clues. A chapter is devoted to the question-among all the cities of the world-why would New York City be singled out for destruction? Additionally, an analysis of historical and contemporary world events, viewed in the light of relevant Old and New Testament Bible prophecies, is used to formulate an end-time scenario that could lead to the shocking destruction of New York City. The scenario identifies three presently existing powers that will likely form the unprecedented confederacy that will eventually carry out the deadly attack. Readers are invited to evaluate the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Regardless of a reader's conclusion, the study should produce increased assurance that our Heavenly Father, who sacrificed his divine Son so that all might have eternal life, sees the end from the beginning and still has everything in His ultimate control. WILLIAM A. (Bo) GRISSOM holds the PhD in mechanical engineering from the University of Cincinnati and professor emeritus status at Central State University in southwestern Ohio, where he served as professor for thirty years before retiring in 2006. Dr. Grissom was a licensed professional engineer for 35 years and gained industrial experience with IBM, GE, NASA Lewis, Baldwin Piano Company, and Chrysler Corporation. This is his second book following his retirement from engineering education. His first book entitled, Hath God Said ... Remember the Sabbath Day? - the Gospel in Both Testaments, addresses conflicting doctrinal views advocated by major Christian factions. Both books apply the same logical, detailed approach required in the field of engineering to the study of the Bible. Dr. Grissom and his wife, Sandi, reside in Xenia, Ohio and have been blessed with six grown children.
Book Synopsis Mystery Babylon Final Devastating Impact by : Collie Mckenzie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does it not seems odd to you that America, The richest and the most powerful country today, The only country who has liberated other nations from evil. The greatest evangelical nation on the earth) IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE? As it is God's will that you are here now, witnessing the unmasking of evil. It is the will of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that you and your family see this and be safe from all the wrong doings of our time. Just as the Holy Word says: "I have told you these things, so that in me, you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world." John chapter 16 verses 33. I made an astonishing discovery that connected all the hidden clues. You must understand, the holy texts of the Bible are full of metaphors and symbolism. Because the prophets tried to describe things that exist in the future using words available in their time. So when the profits saw airplanes in their visions, the description would be: "Mount up to heaven" referring to the air travel and the air force... Just like: "It will ascend above the heights of the clouds; it will be like the most high" Is clearly a metaphor for reaching space. The fact that both of these metaphors refer to a nation known to Bible scholars as Babylon or "Mystery Babylon" is no coincidence... Mystery Babylon is an end time’s nation... 12 Mystery Babylon Final Devastating Impact How else would it be to have an Air Force and reach space? And John the Apostle in the Book of Revelation describes it in great detail. And by the prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah) Holy men who have heard the word of God carefully put in writing to see our lost souls when the tribulation day comes. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah chapter 41 verses 10...Through the account of John the Apostle in the book of revelation and through the writings of the prophets and Isaiah. Babylon is hailed as a "Queen among the nations" and the lady of kingdoms." (Isaiah 47:5,7); It is the youngest and only superpower in the world, Jeremiah 47, Revelations 18), According to the Apostles and the prophets, Babylon "reigneth over the kings of the earth"(Rev17: 18). It was "The praise of the entire earth" and an astonishment among the nations" (Jeremiah 51.47). Babylon is a democracy weighed down by its massive Government. "Thou art wearied in the Multitude of thy counsels." Isaiah (47:13) Babylon destroys her own land, with pollution and waste: "Because thou hast destroyed thy land" (Isa14: 20) "I have polluted my inheritance and given them into thy hand" (Isaiah 47:6). Ask yourself this: How could an early day prophet know about pollution since there was no such thing in ancient times? The answer may already be obvious.
Book Synopsis The Babylon Line by : Richard Greenberg
Download or read book The Babylon Line written by Richard Greenberg and published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Levittown, 1967. It’s the first night of an adult-ed creative writing course in a classroom at the local high school. The teacher, Aaron Port, lives in Greenwich Village and reverse commutes once a week on the Long Island Rail Road’s Babylon line. His students are a mixed bag: Frieda Cohen, Anna Cantor, and Midge Braverman, housewives all, embrace each other on arrival, and update their running checklists on each other’s kids, husbands, and lawns. Their opening gambit is to tell Aaron in no uncertain terms that they are only there because French Cooking and Flower Arranging are full. The two men in the class, Jack Hassenpflug and Marc Adams, sit silently at their desks. One final student, Joan Dellamond, rushes in late—but she actually does intend to be there. An aspiring writer troubled by a failing marriage, Joan has little in common with her neighbors. And yet, she does seek connection. Maybe this class will bring her, and Aaron, something that neither quite expects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The north and the west and the south are good hunting ground, but it is forbidden to go east. It is forbidden to go to any of the Dead Places except to search for metal and then he who touches the metal must be a priest or the son of a priest. Afterwards, both the man and the metal must be purified. These are the rules and the laws; they are well made. It is forbidden to cross the great river and look upon the place that was the Place of the Gods-this is most strictly forbidden. We do not even say its name though we know its name. It is there that spirits live, and demons-it is there that there are the ashes of the Great Burning. These things are forbidden- they have been forbidden since the beginning of time.
Download or read book Babylon Girls written by Jayna Brown and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-19 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babylon Girls is a groundbreaking cultural history of the African American women who performed in variety shows—chorus lines, burlesque revues, cabaret acts, and the like—between 1890 and 1945. Through a consideration of the gestures, costuming, vocal techniques, and stagecraft developed by African American singers and dancers, Jayna Brown explains how these women shaped the movement and style of an emerging urban popular culture. In an era of U.S. and British imperialism, these women challenged and played with constructions of race, gender, and the body as they moved across stages and geographic space. They pioneered dance movements including the cakewalk, the shimmy, and the Charleston—black dances by which the “New Woman” defined herself. These early-twentieth-century performers brought these dances with them as they toured across the United States and around the world, becoming cosmopolitan subjects more widely traveled than many of their audiences. Investigating both well-known performers such as Ada Overton Walker and Josephine Baker and lesser-known artists such as Belle Davis and Valaida Snow, Brown weaves the histories of specific singers and dancers together with incisive theoretical insights. She describes the strange phenomenon of blackface performances by women, both black and white, and she considers how black expressive artists navigated racial segregation. Fronting the “picaninny choruses” of African American child performers who toured Britain and the Continent in the early 1900s, and singing and dancing in The Creole Show (1890), Darktown Follies (1913), and Shuffle Along (1921), black women variety-show performers of the early twentieth century paved the way for later generations of African American performers. Brown shows not only how these artists influenced transnational ideas of the modern woman but also how their artistry was an essential element in the development of jazz.

Download or read book Seoul written by Rafael Luna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on understanding how a megacity like Seoul can be read as a formal architectural composition and not an endless urban sprawl. In a broader sense, the book discusses the dichotomy between city and urbanization: “city” being an architectural problem of bounded forms, while “urbanism” is an infrastructural project of expansion. It is an uncontested reality that urbanization is a continuous global process that has produced nebulous conurbations labeled as megacities. These expand beyond the virtual administrative boundary of any said “city,” producing a discrepancy between an area of administrative control and the real physical condition of human settlement. If there were a better formal understanding of megacities through their typological architectural conditions, then there could be a better assessment of the qualitative state of urbanization. Avant-garde groups from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s such as Team X, the Situationist, the Structuralist, and the Metabolist worked with ideas of megaforms and megastructures to address this issue. Although most of these proposals remained as paper architecture, this book reevaluates some of these ideas for the 21st-century megacity, using Seoul as a case study due to its clear typological formations produced over its diff erent periods of governance. The aim is to present the concept for an infra-architectural hybrid model of typological islands and subterranean megastructure that organizes Seoul as a fl exible multi-linear city. This book will be of interest to academics and students of architecture, urban geography, and Asian studies.
Book Synopsis Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age by : Joan Aruz
Download or read book Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age written by Joan Aruz and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the research of internationally renowned scholars, Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age contributes significantly to our understanding of the epoch-making artistic and cultural exchanges that took place across the Near East and Mediterranean in the early first millennium B.C. This was the world of Odysseus, in which seafaring Phoenician merchants charted new nautical trade routes and established prosperous trading posts and colonies on the shores of three continents; of kings Midas and Croesus, legendary for their wealth; and of the Hebrew Bible, whose stories are brought vividly to life by archaeological discoveries. Objects drawn from collections in the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and the United States, reproduced here in sumptuous detail, reflect the cultural encounters of diverse populations interacting through trade, travel, and migration as well as war and displacement. Together, they tell a compelling story of the origins and development of Western artistic traditions that trace their roots to the ancient Near East and across the Mediterranean world. Among the masterpieces brought together in this volume are stone reliefs that adorned the majestic palaces of ancient Assyria; expertly crafted Phonecian and Syrian bronzes and worked ivories that were stored in the treasuries of Assyria and deposited in tombs and sanctuaries in regions far to the west; and lavish personal adornments and other luxury goods, some imported and others inspired by Near Eastern craftsmanship. Accompanying texts by leading scholars position each object in cultural and historical context, weaving a narrative of crisis and conquest, worship and warfare, and epic and empire that spans both continents and millennia. Writing another chapter in the story begun in Art of the First Cities (2003) and Beyond Babylon (2008), Assyria to Iberia offers a comprehensive overview of art, diplomacy, and cultural exchange in an age of imperial and mercantile expansion in the ancient Near East and across the Mediterranean in the first millennium B.C.—the dawn of the Classical age.
