O Milenio - série "Deixados para trás"

Sequel Kingdom Come The Final Victory

Not all is well in utopia. Though Jesus has established His thousand-year reign on earth, people are born every day who still must choose to make Him their savior. And not all do. Those who have returned from heaven with Christ never age. Believers who survived the Tribulation never die, but the ravages of time affect them.

The saints of the ages—heroes from the Bible—help rule.

While those who choose not to trust Christ are accursed and die young, devotees of The Other Light—Lucifer—conspire to populate the end of the millennial kingdom with a massive army. When Satan is loosed for a time to once again tempt the nations, he leads this force to the ultimate conflict of good versus evil, and the result ushers in the new heaven and the new earth.

Prologue (from Glorious Appearing)

Rayford tried to stay with Chaim. The men had left the Rosenzweig home without breakfast and without a word, as if they all somehow knew where they must go. Rayford decided that whatever was to come, he wanted to be close enough to Chaim to ask questions. The others must have had the same idea, as they all stuck together despite the crowds.

"When you see My throne, join those on My right, your left."

The words of Jesus were more than impressed on Rayford's heart. He had actually heard them. He moved to his left without question, and as waves of people moved both directions, suddenly the view before Rayford became clear. Directly below and centered under the vast heavenly hosts, saints, and angels, a great platform bore a throne on which Jesus sat. Behind Him stood the three angels of mercy. On either side of Him stood the archangels Michael and Gabriel.

Rayford knew instinctively that every living person on earth was gathered in that valley.

Chaim explained: "Half a billion or more were raptured seven years ago. Half the remaining population was killed during the Seal and Trumpet Judgments during the next three and a half years. Many more were lost during the Vial Judgments, and millions of believers were martyred. What you are looking at is probably only one-fourth of those who were left after the Rapture. And most of these will die today."

Indeed, Rayford realized, those assembling on Jesus' right were scant compared to those on His left.

It took most of the morning for the masses to find their places and settle. To Rayford it appeared that those to Jesus' left were puzzled at best, frightened at ...

Maria Antonieta, Biografia de Antonia Fraser

Uma excelente leitura sobre essa controvertida Rainha de França.
Foi este também o Livro que deu origem ao filme de Sofia Coppola, que entrará em cartaz em São Paulo, SP no mês de Março.




Marie Antoinette’s dramatic life-story continues to arouse mixed emotions. To many people, she is still ‘la reine méchante’, whose extravagance and frivolity helped to bring down the French monarchy; her indifference to popular suffering epitomised by the (apocryphal) words: ‘let them eat cake’. Others are equally passionate in her defence: to them, she is a victim of misogyny.
Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI, the accusations and sexual slurs made against her, her patronage of the arts which enhanced French cultural life, her imprisonment, the death threats made against her, rumours of lesbian affairs, her trial, the forced testimony of her son to sexual abuse and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793.
'Fraser’s book offers a spellbinding portrait of life in the stultifying atmosphere of Versailles.' THE MAIL ON SUNDAY
'this impeccably well-informed biography does justice to the maligned Marie Antoinette.' Ludovic Hunter-Tilney, THE FINANCIAL TIMES
‘There has long been the need for an authoritative biography of France’s last queen. Now, finally, Antonia Fraser has completed the task’ Amanda Foreman, OBSERVER








Since 1969, Antonia Fraser has written many acclaimed historical works which have been international bestsellers, including Marie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots (James Tait Black Memorial Prize), Cromwell: Our Chief of Men, The Six Wives of Henry VIII and The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and Faith in 1605 (St Louis Literary Award; CWA Non-Fiction Gold Dagger).
Antonia Fraser was made CBE in 1999, and awarded the Norton Medlicott Medal by the Historical Association in 2000. She is married to the playwright Harold Pinter and lives in London.
