Eavesdropping on Heaven
What if much of what we've been told about Revelation is actually wrong? What if John incorporated clues hidden in plane sight about the true order of end time events? This book reveals the likely order of end time events leading to Armageddon, the deeper meaning of 666, and the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom.Eavesdropping on Heaven explores the mysteries of Revelation, uncovering hidden clues in conversations of people in heaven that challenge traditional views of the end-times. Many believe Revelation unfolds in chronological order, but what if subtle messages within its text reveal a deeper truth-one meant to be understood only when the time is right?This book goes beyond timelines and symbols to answer pressing questions: -Why does the Tribulation last seven years instead of ending in a single day?-Why do the end-times seem to be dominated by Satan, the Antichrist, and his Mark of the Beast instead of by God?-Why are Christians still told to pray, "Thy Kingdom come," if Jesus' kingdom is certain to prevail?By carefully analyzing the conversations John recorded of people in heaven, Eavesdropping on Heaven illuminates the epic spiritual battle for human souls. It reveals the true sequence of events leading to Armageddon, the deeper meaning behind 666, and how God's kingdom ultimately triumphs over darkness.If you've ever questioned the purpose of the Apocalypse or struggled to understand Revelation's prophecies, this book offers easily understandable insights. Discover the truth hidden in plain sight and see the future in a completely new way.

Remember
The year 2025 is the time pointed out by Alice Bailey for the appearance of the teachings of the Avatar of Synthesis. The objective of these teachings is to develop a double movement of synthesis and overcoming of all previous teachings, specifically those related to Theosophy, Anthroposophy, the Arcane School, Agni Yoga and Sufism. These teachings have the function of assisting human beings in the transition of what in occult terms is called the fourth initiation. Obviously they have been compiled by someone who is in contact with the Avatar of Synthesis, although this contact is not exclusive but and from 2025 onwards will be open to all who wish to participate in it.
In the Shadow of the Qur'an
This booklet explores twelve stories common to both the Bible and the Qur'an, highlighting the differences in their narratives. The author, Dr. Edward Hoskins, aims to show how the Qur'an's depiction of these stories casts shadows on the biblical truths.The booklet examines how the Qur'an's versions of these stories lack crucial elements like the concept of "original sin" (Adam), the necessity of atonement for sin (Cain and Abel), and the centrality of Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Savior (Moses, Abraham, Jonah, and Jesus).Dr. Hoskins argues that these omissions create a distorted picture of God's plan for humanity, emphasizing the importance of accepting Jesus as the only way to salvation. He emphasizes that the Qur'an's narratives, while containing some similarities, ultimately lack the essence of Christian faith and the truth of Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
An Exceptional Dialogue, 1925-1948
In 1924 the Russian Orthodox philosopher in exile Nikolai Berdyaev ended up in the environs of Paris, where he met and befriended the French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain. Coming from different faiths and disparate cultures, they shared a common desire to assert the essential dignity and rights of the human person in an era torn apart by extremism and conflict. They embarked on a joint endeavour to promote ecumenical dialogue and philosophical conversation in interwar Europe. Their collaboration was instrumental in developing a philosophy of Christian personalism and seminal in the emergence of existentialism. Newly translated into English, An Exceptional Dialogue, 1925-1948 reproduces the two thinkers' correspondence, along with Bernard Hubert's original introductory essay, his notes to the French edition, and a new introduction by Ana Siljak. An intimate and remarkable portrait emerges. The two men met and corresponded often during their two decades of friendship, their homes became spaces for conversations on religion and philosophy, and together they contributed to the development of a Christian humanism and personalism that inspired such disparate figures as Hannah Arendt and Martin Luther King Jr and that influenced Maritain's work on the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. An Exceptional Dialogue, 1925-1948 reveals the connectedness between Russian and European thought, explores the contributions of French-Russian personalism to the history of human dignity, and provides insight into a strain of philosophy often ignored in contemporary scholarship.

The Downfall of God
In this second volume of his expansive history of atheism, S. T. Joshi examines the major trends in the last four centuries. The Scientific Revolution, culminating in the work of Galileo and Newton, expressed an increasing awareness of the natural functioning of the universe without the intervention of a god. In spite of the emergence of major religious figures in philosophy (Descartes, Spinioza) and literature (Pascal, Milton, Bunyan), the trend was toward secularism. This trend erupted in the French Enlightenment in the 18th century, with such titans as Voltaire, Diderot, Holbach, and Hume, some of whom were the first explicit atheists in Western history. In the 19th century, biblical criticism and the advance of science (especially Darwin's theory of evolution) destroyed the remaining intellectual pillars supporting religion. This work reached a pinnacle in the 20th century, when atheism and secularism flourished in such figures as Bertrand Russell, Albert Einstein, and, at the beginning of the 21st century, the New Atheists. Throughout this period, however, the forces of religion continued to wage a rearguard struggle to maintain their supremacy in government, society, and culture; but their efforts were increasingly feeble, as a plethora of literary, philosophical, and cultural figures shed religious belief and propounded a purely secular view of life. Joshi traces all these issues in detail, consulting primary and secondary sources to portray a Western civilization where secularism is now the dominant mode of thought and action.
