SYRIA, IRAQ, ISIS, ISRAEL & BIBLICAL PROPHECIES A TIMELY APPEARANCE AGAIN! You will surely not be disappointed with this small book if you are interested in knowing at what point of time the world is standing right now. Not only that, its systematic exposition of the biblical prophecies is quite startling in its revelation of the meaning of what is happening right now in the Middle East, and what future events are closely following it. If you learn about it, it is simply not possible that you do not start preparing for what is soon to come. SURE THING! Bertrand sounds extremely convincing ...

The Mystery of the Seven Seals marks a departure on several points from the prevalent understanding of what is written about the seven seals in the book of Revelation. The readers may, perhaps, find some of the author's views to be sensational. However, when they would read the book, it would be quite evident to them that the author doesn't intentionally sensationalize his interpretation of the Scriptures in order to bait his readers to read his book. Through this brief study of the end-time biblical prophecies, the author aims to i) Show his readers how they are living through the period ...

For Wherever the Carcass is There the Eagles will be Gathered Together is an exposition of Matthew 24:28 and Luke 17:37. It is one of the several Messianic prophecies we find in these chapters from the Gospel according to St. Matthew and the Gospel according to St. Luke. For those who are not ardent readers of the Bible, it may sound difficult to explain because of the immediate contexts in which it appears. There are many views on the subject but the one that we find here is not only different but also sounds closer to its actual meaning. The good thing is that the contexts in which it ...

KNOWING JESUS It’s precisely about what it says it is! Someone might ask, “Why know Jesus?” The answer is what remains for you to know once you choose not to know Jesus! Slowly, slowly all branches of knowledge are proving themselves to be either wrong or but partly true. What you are going to gain if you know what is not true?! What is not true is equal to what is not! Can you ever have what is not? And if you cannot have what is not, can you have satisfaction? And if you don’t have satisfaction in life, can you ever be happy? And if you cannot be happy, then…what? But, if you ...

THE PLACE ASSIGNED BY GOD TO ISRAEL AS REFUGE DURING THE GREAT TRIBULATION is about the provision made by God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for His people during the worst time in human history described in the Bible as the Great Tribulation. It attempts to explore the Scripture to find out what place it might be that would secure Israel from Satan’s attack, and why. It remarkably puts forth possibilities, not assertions. That is the token of the writer’s maturity. He does acknowledge that God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. God’s will…God’s plan…These alone ...

TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS is my humble and sincere effort at answering some of the key issues that the Muslims generally raise regarding the fundamental doctrines of the Holy Bible. Not too many Christian scholars have addressed these issues adequately. Therefore, I have tried to deal with them according to the grace that God has granted to me. These issues include the following: Who is God? Can we know Him? Can we call Him Father? Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? Is He the Son of God? Can God become Man, taking birth through a virgin mother? How can God be a Triune God? The nature of the Holy ...

BEHIND THE CURTAIN & BEFORE THE CURTAIN IS THAT THE WHOLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FICTION AND FACT? Then we need to think it over. William’s experiment with the stage keeps on raising curtain from fictions in his inexorable quest for reality. He says: “…That saying is wrong which goes like… ‘Call the rose by any name, it will smell the same.’ My experiences have taught me otherwise. Just call it shit, then see how the whole thing is damned.” He knows alright how tradition-bound people tend to think, and, therefore, he warns at the very outset: “What you’re going to see is ...

Mark Twain once made a remarkable statement about truth. He said, “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” How very true, isn’t it?! But suppose if we forget that we are a fallen race? Well, in that case either we stand the risk of compromising ourselves or the truth itself! Nevertheless the intrinsic truth in the statement quoted above still stands. And no instance from human history proves this fact practically and comprehensively in the way that Jesus did. He never said a syllable which was untrue; He never did anything which didn’t objectify the truth for ...

"Porque dondequiera que esté el cadáver, allí se juntarán las águilas" es una exposición de Mateo 24:28 y Lucas 17:37. Es una de las varias profecías mesiánicas que encontramos en estos capítulos del Evangelio según San Mateo y del Evangelio según San Lucas. Para quienes no son lectores fervientes de la Biblia, puede resultar difícil de explicar debido a los contextos inmediatos en los que aparece. Existen muchas perspectivas sobre el tema, pero la que encontramos aquí no solo es diferente, sino que también suena más cercana a su verdadero significado. Lo bueno es que los ...

The question, “Who am I?” is a tricky one. Most approaches available to those who seek answer to this question are rooted in the ‘self’ itself, making study of the ‘self’ in order to find its reality. Anyone following these approaches is bound to get trapped in the ‘self’ in such a way that it becomes difficult for him to escape from it. This question itself is genuine but once a person starts trying to find answer for it, inevitably his efforts lead him to a blind alley. Once he arrives there, generally he takes recourse to self-deception and starts indulging in philosophy ...

What human relationship is worth? The Wongs show that it could not be worth more than a dilapidating ancestral property. The structure of Shayona Villa at different times graphically renders the gradual decline of relationship between the Wong brothers and their families. What impresses us about the story is the manner in which it shows that though the structure of the building may effectively offer general idea about their relationship, in reality the complexities involved in it far exceeds mere symbolic representation thereof.

The Marriage of Desire and Self-deception puts William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell in the context in which Blake intended it to be read. Going by the text, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is written specifically to attack biblical truths and replace them with what Blakean mythology considers to be truth as it is understood in Hell. Bertrand’s Marriage may sound destructive but, then, the very nature of the work on which he comments is destructive. Blake clearly states that he is on the side of the Devil in the on-going battle against God of the Bible and all that He stands ...

Life is precious. It is a terrible thing to waste life. We made fool of ourselves once when we squandered the opportunity given to us in as great a place as the Garden of Eden – opportunity to live life to the full. Out of that ideal place, the same opportunity has come up again to us to make a choice between life and death, and it has come in the form of Jesus, the Life. Take it or leave it, it is going to be the final decision. The Life is written specially to define life and state in clearest terms how can we live a life sans death. Life is no life it comes to an end one day. Life does...

THE ISCARIOT COMPLEX….A solid book…Containing some real robust exposition of some real difficult theological problems. And, of course, it provides an interesting study of Judas’ mind…how it evolved through different stages into something that made him what he was. This shadowy disciple has been a subject of intense theological debate since ages past. He provides an interesting case study on account of the complexities marking his actions. It’s quite surprising people fail to ask, “Though he kept a dog, why he chose to bark himself?” They seem to fail to notice who it was that ...

“Where shall I go now from here?...Where CAN I go? There? Or there? Or there?… No matter where I go, I find myself where I am! Because all destinations are one and the same! I always find this upon reaching there! I wanted wealth enough to make me feel secure. Now I have it. But this is not all I want. I wanted wealth enough not to make me feel jealous of someone else’s. Now I have it. But this is not all I want. I wanted name. Now I have a name that inspires awe in people around me. But this is not all I want. I have more than one mansion, car and what not. Yet this is not all I want...
