365 Fascinating Facts about Jesus
Author: Robert Strand
Publisher: New Leaf Publishing Group
ISBN: 1614580316
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
From over 100 sources, popular gift book author Robert Strand has compiled both common and little-known facts about Jesus Christ. The Jesus that Strand uncovers is definitely the Christ of the Gospels, and the political, cultural, and religious times in which He lived are brought to life in this terrific book. Read about the traditions that Jesus grew up with, the historical facts about his birth, death, and resurrection, and man’s ideas about Him vs. reality. Great as a reference book or gift, this collection of fascinating facts serves to illuminate “God With Us.” SAMPLE FACTS: What was Jesus' last name? According to Jewish tradition, one’s last name was always determined by the father’s given name. So the Lord’s complete name would have been “Yeshua Ben Yosef.” Old Testament Prophecies Contained in the Old Testament, there are more than 300 specific prophecies alone that concerned Jesus, the promised coming Messiah. These were written from 450 to more than 2,000 years before his birth. It’s been mathematically calculated that the probability of just 8 of the more than 300 prophecies being fulfilled by chance is 1 in 1017. It is beyond the realm of calculation to figure the probability of all 300-plus coming to pass in one life.

ISBN: 9781579215583
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
... The Honor of Your Presence With one sip from the betrothal cup she vows her devotion. But while the groom is away preparing a place for her, the beguiling advances of another threaten the bride's wedding plans. Like flipping pages through a wedding album, the rich imagery in His Majesty Requests paints a vivid portrait of who the Beloved bride truly is and how she makes herself ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb. By matting and framing the story of one father's desire to find a suitable wife for his son in ancient Israel, the mystery of God's love for Jews and non-Jews throughout the ages is revealed. This devotional beautifully illuminates the spiritual significance of the ancient Hebrew wedding customs and how the Messiah fulfilled each one. As family heirlooms, many of these traditions such as bride price and the veil may be recognizable, while others will flash new insight into the teachings and ways of a Jewish Savior. The restoration and brilliance of these lost pictures are sure to fill the believer's heart with a renewed love for their Heavenly Bridegroom.

Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry And Its Kindred Sciences, Volume 1: A-C
Author: Albert G. Mackey
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 3849688275
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
Dr. Albert G. Mackey appears as author of this " Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences," which, being a library in inself, superseded most of the Masonic works which have been tolerated by the craft — chiefly because none better could be obtained. Here is a work which fulfils the hope which sustained the author through ten years' literary labor, that, under one cover he "would furnish every Mason who might consult its pages the means of acquiring a knowledge of all matters connected with the science, the philosophy, and the history of his order." Up to the present time the modern literature of Freemasonry has been diffuse, lumbering, unreliable, and, out of all reasonable proportions. There is, in Mackey's "Encyclopaedia of Masonry," well digested, well arranged, and confined within reasonable limits, all that a Mason can desire to find in a book exclusively devoted to the history, the arts, science, and literature of Masonry. This is volume one out of four and covering the letters A to C.
