The Book of Revelation presents the reader with a frightening narrative world in which the people of God are tormented, threatened, and sometimes killed by various agents of Satan. Scholars have traditionally thought that it was written in order to encourage believers to stand fast in the face of the Roman persecution of the early Church. More recently, however, it has been argued that no such crisis existed at the time the book was written. Here Paul Duff offers a different viewpoint on the origin of the Book of Revelation, resulting in a work which substantially advances the implication of the current consensus and sheds new light on this influential yet enigmatic text.

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist—but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy—a woman who rides the beast. Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn’t such a view outdated? After all, today’s Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. “The Catholic church has changed” is what we hear. Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast, prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist’s future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman’s identity beyond any reasonable doubt. A provocative account of what the Bible tells us is to come.

An Economist and Financial Times “Best Book of the Year” “Harrowing” true stories from two years of immersion reporting on the migrant trail from Chiapas to Arizona—an “honorable successor to enduring works like George Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier” (New York Times) One day a few years ago, 300 migrants were kidnapped between the remote desert towns of Altar, Mexico, and Sasabe, Arizona. A local priest got 120 released, many with broken ankles and other marks of abuse, but the rest vanished. Óscar Martínez, a young writer from El Salvador, was in Altar soon after the abduction, and his account of the migrant disappearances is only one of the harrowing stories he garnered from two years spent traveling up and down the migrant trail from Central America and across the US border. More than a quarter of a million Central Americans make this increasingly dangerous journey each year, and each year as many as 20,000 of them are kidnapped. Martínez writes in powerful, unforgettable prose about clinging to the tops of freight trains; finding respite, work and hardship in shelters and brothels; and riding shotgun with the border patrol. Illustrated with stunning full-color photographs, The Beast is the first book to shed light on the harsh new reality of the migrant trail in the age of the narcotraficantes.

When The Church Rides the Beast Unfolding a Rome Centered Mystery! With impassioned words Paul said, Let no man deceive you, That day [second coming] shall not come, exceptthat man of sin be revealed (1 Thessalonians 2:3)! It is now the time to unmincingly affirm that the antichrist is personified in the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Its history alone cries out with sullen voices of arrogance: Every cleric must obey the Pope, even if he commands what is evil; for no one may judge the Pope.- Pope Innocent III (1198-1216 A.D). Its code of laws conveys supreme power to the Pope: The First See [Rome/papacy] is judged by no one. It is the right of the Roman Pontiff himself alone to judgethose who hold the highest civil office in a state.-Canon 1404. There is neither appeal nor recourse against a decision or decree of the Roman Pontiff.-Canon 333-03. When Pope Benedict XVI was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he immortalized Romes usurpation of Gods place within the church by publishing Dominus Iesus (August 5, 2000). He noted that all non-Catholic Christian communities were either defective or not true churches. He pointedly said that salvation was available only through the Roman Catholic Church. Stunning was this declaration, leaving behind our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Paul noted that the Man of sin exalteth himself, sitting in the temple of God, working with all deceivableness (II Thessalonians 2:3-10). Even the famed and much-quoted 19th century Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon said: It is theduty of every Christian to pray against [the] Antichrist, and as to what antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the Popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. This book candidly unfolds verse by verse the very center of Johns apocalyptic prophecy which describes the final work of this antichrist. In arresting detail God discloses the horrifying suppressive power this church will soon wield, the prodigious seat the little Vatican state has provided its leaders, and most disconcerting, the worlds gullible worship of its falsehood. This amazing document mines the very depths of what God has revealed. In ways never before opened to the student of last-day events, the Christian is warned of papal deceptions that are beginning to enamor a submissive nave world.
