Is it possible that Jesus didn't exist? Of course, but that's not reasonable to believe considering the numerous early, independent, Christian and non-Christian sources which all make reference to Jesus of Nazareth. Yes, that's right —there are early, non-Christian sources that mention Jesus. In this presentation, I distinguish between possible and reasonable beliefs, and then introduce five early, non-Christian sources that reference facts about Jesus.
What is an Anti-Christ?
The word “anti” literally means to be opposed to.
So anti-Christ is to attacks anything about Christ; His message, His person, His character.
Anti-Christ is denying that Jesus is the Christ, that He is the Messiah or that He is fully God, His virgin birth, His sinless life and His resurrection, His returning again to judge the world, His supreme King of the universe, He is the Son of God.

The Whole World is Under the Control of the Evil OneFlaminioRanzato
"The whole world is under control of the Evil one" is a book that analyzes how the world is under control of an evil intelligence since its beginning and explains which strategies ( false religion, Freemasonry, music and culture in general, paranormal events like UFOs ) are used to achieve this goal. It explains also how we can fight all this evil and which hopes we have...
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Truth About The Last Days, Antichrist, The Rapture, More.

One of the keys to understanding prophecy is the knowledge that it is telling the will and counsel of
God including past, present and future. The idea that it is a smattering of future projections like
Arthur C. Clarke or Aldous Huxley might conger or the rambling of some syndicated astrological
columnist and prognosticator is totally erroneous and wholly absurd.
Prophecy is so accurate that even evil men used it to try to fulfill their plan to commit murder.
When Herod wanted to know where the Savior was to be born he resorted to those who knew
prophecy and when it was determined that he would be born in Bethlehem he did his worst to try
to kill the child. (Mt 2: 1f) He didn't argue with the prophecy, he knew better. It is a lesson the
modern world would do well to learn.
There is no science, philosophy, or discipline known to man with a better rate of accuracy. How
accurate is it; in fact, it has to date, never been wrong. To think that the prophecy of the events yet
to happen might not come to pass is the greatest single most foolish gamble any man will ever
make in a lifetime.
Following politics, world trends and social changes in the world throughout my lifetime has
become part of the study of prophecy. Many pre-millennial prophecies have been fulfilled in one
generation that would be impossible to assign to any other generation in our history. We have the
most intelligent and highly educated generation in our history tearing up cities like London, Cairo,
Athens and others; that know nothing of prophecy yet are moving blindly ahead to fulfill it to the
letter.
Politicians can and should be lauded for trying to produce order and create noble institutions and
secure pathways for society but a futility has arisen in this Godless generation. They are beginning
see they have no power to avert or control events that are sweeping across the globe. In fact, they
rarely see it. I thrill to the rhetoric of our noblest patriots both past and present but I come to full
attention at the prophecies that speak to the actual course a matter will take. I do not expect
educators, leaders, patriots and politicians to drop everything they are doing and go study
prophecy. What can be done is to note those who are helping to fulfill Biblical prophecy, in either a
negative or positive way, and to make that known to others. Most leaders and politicians are
listening to the voices of others of like mind, not the prophets.
The very first prophetic utterance in the Bible (Gen 3: 15) is called the protevangelium and is the
first prediction that one day the world will receive a Savior, born of a woman, who will deal with sin
and fallen man in a conclusive manner. That utterance is now past tense because Christ has
already come. The rest of Biblical prophecy has many categories mostly unknown to all but those
who have made it their business to study each and every one separately.
2. In the life of the nation of Israel there are ancient prophecies which have to do with the events of
the birth and development of that nation. As it reached the peak of its time in what is sometimes
called the Golden Age of Israel under King Solomon, many prophets were sent to warn that she
was headed to her own demise. In that period, near the fall, an entirely new kind of prophecy
emerged.
The period before Israel's fall and all that transpired as she went into captivity and beyond, made
up three separate categories. Pre-exilic, exilic and post-exilic prophecies were warnings given to
Israel on what to do, to avoid her fall, (unheeded) how to handle herself in captivity, and the
promise of restoration at the end of that captivity. Prophets like Jeremiah were there for all three of
the periods and while hated for their predicting Israel's fall, they were later revered for showing the
Israelites the promises of restoration.
Within those prophecies was one of the most famous of all time known as, Daniel's prophecy of
the seventy weeks. (Da 9: 1f) It is a prophecy that is so accurate that those who scoff at the Bible
often refuse to acknowledge that it even exists. It promises a period of 483 years between the
edict to rebuild Jerusalem with a wall and a temple to the time when the Messiah will be put to
death. The only edict given out of the four issued by the Medes and Persian rulers, that called for
the rebuilding of both wall and temple was issued by Artaxerxes. From the year it was issued to
the death on the cross of Jesus Christ was exactly 483 years. The rest of the prophecy has a tag
of seven years attached to it and was for the very distant future. That future is now in our
neighborhood.
Interwoven throughout all of the scriptures are yet two major categories of prophecy. One
category, Messianic prophecy has been completely fulfilled in the birth, ministry, life death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Some Messianic prophecies were given centuries before his birth yet
all of them were fulfilled with perfect accuracy in his one lifetime. In one twenty four hour period
Christ fulfilled twenty five of the prophecies against astronomical odds. In fact they are the kind of
odds that today we would associate with the possibility of mistaking someone's DNA for another's.
Pre-millennial prophecy, the remaining category, can be split into three sub categories as well.
Pre-millennial prophecy has to do with what leads up to the second coming of Christ. Millennial
prophecies are a picture of the 1,000 year rule of Christ over this earth and post millennial
prophecies are a brief look into the realm we refer to as eternity, the last and ultimately permanent
aspect of God's dealings with men.
Most pre-millennial prophecy is compacted into the very last generation of time as we know it. It
reveals the upheavals of the nations, the rise of the antichrist and the false prophet and the
entrance of Christ into the history of man once again. It is here we find ourselves today.
Every ancient prophet concurs that when Israel becomes a free and independent nation again
after centuries of dispersion, persecution and homelessness that the last generation has begun.
Jerusalem has to be in the hands of the Jews as well. Israel won her independence in 1948 and
recovered Jerusalem from the Arabs in 1967. The rebirth of Israel and the subsequent Arab Israeli
conflict is the single greatest fulfillment of Biblical prophecy since the birth of Christ. What happens
next will defy the best efforts of the world to resist, and it will take a great deal more than the
feeble efforts of Hillary Clinton and others to alter, guide or control.
3. So what is the point? If prophecy is so trustworthy what has it got to do with us? This is where we
see that even prophecy has a philosophical aspect to it that is hard to argue with. The first thing
prophecy does is to remove fear. The fearful aspects of the last day's prophecies may seem like
something better left alone but in fact it is the reason we are not moved by the whimsical
prognostications of science, religions or soothsayers of any kind.
Will the newly discovered planet Nibiru collide with earth and bring about doomsday? Will the
feared comet Elenin do the job of wiping out our existence? Will the Arab Israeli conflict explode
and bring about a third world war that will end civilization as we know it. How about a new
pandemic of powerful strains of bacteria for which we have no defense coming to make everyone
one on earth die a horrible death. None of the above or anything like them will bring the earth to its
end. Prophecy guarantees it.
Prophecy can be far more specific. We think Iran may turn Israel and her capital city of Jerusalem
to dust with nuclear annihilation, but it cannot happen. That of course will not keep them from
trying, but it is a futile effort that will meet with failure. Christ has reserved both Israel and
Jerusalem for his triumphant and imminent return at the close of the prophetic cycle known as, the
age of grace.
Because Biblical prophecy tells exactly what will transpire across the globe there is little reason to
fear the wild and sometimes ridiculous prognostications and nonsense of either doting scientific
speculation or the musings of fringy religious soothsayers.
One example is a newly emerging fear among hard right evangelicals about the possible influence
of Dominionism in the faith of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann. It is a belief that Christianity has
the right to take over all aspects of government and law. Some even think it is the very will of God.
Really! Prophecy clearly shows that before antichrist comes into complete power that Godless
secularism invades every area of public life almost worldwide. Christianity takes over nothing but
is persecuted and subdued by force the world over. Prophecy holds the last word not doctrinal
extremists (which neither candidate is) or those who fear them. That is just something that is not
going to happen. It creates controversy and in some cases panic but it is just another worry that
has been dismissed by the clear light of Bible prophecy.
Real prophecy is the most stabilizing element known to man and its fulfillment is as sure as the
rising of the sun. However, I would be remiss if I did not warn that even the sunrise is not so sure.
On the day the Trump of God is sounded the sun will refuse to shine. Much more than a line from
a song we love here in New Orleans, especially at the Saint's games, it is a prophecy of a day
when Christ will indeed re-enter the history of man.
The events in the following verse were shown to me in a dream vision as a young man and it was
a long time before I came to read the biblical record that describes this event. I couldn't
understand the meaning of the vision until I read the scriptures, and even less, why it would be
shown to me, until I read Numbers 12: 6, which was explanation enough. "And he said, hear now
my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a
vision, and will speak unto him in a dream." The Biblical picture of these events that I was later to
learn about, is in part, as follows.
"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the
4. sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." (Rev 6: 12)
I don't spend a great deal of time trying to establish my own prophetic ministry because if
someone is willing to pass by the most incredibly accurate record of prophecy in the world (the
Bible) it is doubtful that they are going to pay much attention to me. We are called to proclaim the
rest is up to the hearer. Then there is Jesus warning that prophets don't stand a chance if men are
willing to ignore the very capstone of his life and purpose in coming to the earth to redeem
mankind. To wit:
"And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead." (Luke 16: 31)
Although prophecy has always been accurate and will be until the end, it is not a syrupy promise
of smooth sailing on calm seas. The vast distances between us and other galaxies has finally
brought science to admit the infeasibility of inter-stellar space travel but the rest of the story goes
blithely down the road to a destiny wrought with social, political and economic woes that are
destabilizing our world right before our eyes.
Prophecy promises that the God of creation will appear to deal with his creation in a final and
decisive way. Man was given dominion over one planet for a brief period of time. The usurper
(Satan) has convinced modern man that the future of the planet is the only thing going on when in
fact the earth is temporary.
Only man is permanent. The soul of man according to prophecy is eternal. Diverting our attention
away from this little item is the deadliest deception in his arsenal because we as individuals are
meant to continue forever either in or out of the presence of God. The only difference for anyone
about where they will spend eternity is a little matter of a thing called, choice. God is figuratively if
not virtually holding his breath as he watches which choice we will make. He does not will, wish or
want anyone to make the wrong choice.
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering
to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day
of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up." (2 Peter 3: 9-10)
