Foreign correspondent Jenny Claiborne, undercover FBI agent Ernesto Cruz, and veteran CIA operative Mitch Garvey, Jr. (each representing an individual in the biblical parable of the sower) have been selected for a special, divinely appointed test, a test on a scale and magnitude not seen since the days of Job. In their own way, each will play a pivotal role in hastening or delaying the rise of the Antichrist; gaining the attention of both the Angels of Light and the Angels of Darkness. In a desperate race against time, the Angels of Darkness gain permission from the Godhead for one last test of faith; a grand spiritual challenge between the forces of good and the forces of evil with the salvation of millions hanging in the balance. Behind the Veil: Angels of the Apocalypse examines the end of days from the perspective of the angels tasked with carrying out the signs and wonders to be wrought upon the Earth as the Rapture approaches. It is a fictional work based on biblical concepts, and takes an innovative approach to exploring the intriguing life and work of Gods silent sentinels.

"The Ancients foretold of this time, and it's in the Mayan Calendar as well. So what does it mean? Is everything we know and have studied going to change? What are the new 'rules' of reality? Are there now new prophecies? The answers are all here in this book. For Kryon says that this is the beginning of the New Earth. The recalibration of self. The recalibration of dark and light. The recalibration of Gaia and the future New Inventions coming... Plus... comments and thoughts by Lee about the entire situation and his 23-year adventure as the original Kryon channel for the planet."--Amazon.com.

Thigpen lays out the biblical foundations of Catholic teaching on the close of age-- the "end times." Is Jesus coming to "rapture" Christians in the earth's last days? The short answer: No. Along with Scripture, Thigpen draws from Church history, tradition, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and contemporary experience to reveal the shortcoming of the rapture doctrine. -- adapted from back cover

The Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul is the first modern collection of studies on the most important aspects of the Visio Pauli, the most popular early Christian apocalypse in the Middle Ages. The volume starts with a short study of the textual traditions of the Visio Pauli, its Jewish and early Christian traditions as well as its influence on later literature, such as Dante. This is followed by studies of the Prologue, the four rivers of Eden, the place of the Ocean, the relation between body and soul, the image of hell and its punishments, and the connection with fantastic literature. Finally, a codicological, comparative, and textual re-evaluation of the Coptic translation attempts to correct earlier errors and to rehabilitate the value and interest of this long neglected version of the Visio Pauli. The book is concluded with a study of the earthly tribunal in the fourth heaven of the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul. As has become customary, the volume is rounded off by an extensive bibliography of the Visio Pauli and the Gnostic Apocalypse of Paul and a detailed index.
