Pero a pesar de los valiosos esfuerzos de estos eruditos, la Trinidad es todavía largamente incomprensible a la mente humana. Y no podría ser de otra forma: ¡Se trata de explicar la naturaleza misma de Dios! ¡El ser más grandioso, fascinante y complejo del universo! Tal vez la principal razón por la que muchos rechazan la doctrina de la Trinidad reside en el hecho de que ella está más allá de la lógica y no puede sujetarse a la razón humana. ...

In the Old Testament, the Bible makes a very bold and firm statement regarding witches or sorcerers. It reads in Exodus 22:18; Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. This was Gods attitude regarding the practice of witchcraft-it was regarded as an abomination and God was out to destroy this wicked spirit amongst His people. We are the New Testament Church and God’s attitude towards witchcraft has not changed. We however know and understand that we are now fighting not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of the devil- in this case witchcraft. I believe God wants you ...

This is the voice of the Aeon, the word that reshapes the path of the initiated. The Book of the Law is not merely a text—it is a transmission, a cipher of the cosmos, a revelation dictated beyond the veil of mortal understanding. It speaks in symbols, in silence, in fire and force. It does not beg to be understood; it demands to be lived.

The intention of this book is to investigate the biblical chronology behind Jehovah's Witnesses most controversial doctrinal position that Jesus began to rule invisibly from heaven in October 1914. This biblical chronology of the Witnesses hinges upon their belief that the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, which they say occurred in 607 B.C.E.

They state, "Clearly, the 'seven times' and 'the appointed times of the nations' refer to the same ...
