According to its opening verses, Revelation is intended for all people, in all ages, in all places, so this interpretation won’t need revising as headlines change and years roll by. Because the author’s premise is that scripture interprets scripture, the presentation is biblical in execution, timeless in application. Drawing exclusively from the Old Testament, John Allen expounds the symbolism of Revelation, demonstrating that this is how the earliest readers of this document understood it. Working from these clear guidelines, the author avoids the hype and political overtones that have caused many recent interpretations to date so rapidly. Establishing that it is an understanding of scripture rather than an excess of emotion that enables us to come to grips with what God is saying to His Church, he shows that this last great book of the Bible exalts Jesus and declares His people triumphant in this world. This publication is a must for all those weary of books about Revelation that are redundant by the time they go to press.

In recent years there has been much talk of a world that is progressively shrinking as developments in communications and travel increase the pace of life and disrupt our sense of distance. For many, this is the language of globalization: of a world smaller in size, characterized by closer ties and connections, where places once thought of as far apart are no longer so. This volume offers a critical introduction to these ideas, one which requires us to rethink our notions of distance and movement, as well as the very nature of social space itself. Starting with the revolutions in transport and communications, the book sets the context within which much of the discussion around the shrinking of the globe takes place. The contributors then go on to examine the implications of a shrinking globe for the worlds of money and finance, and for multinational and transnational firms, and the role played by global cities. Transnational pollution and global tourism are also explored for the manner in which they too often shrink the the world in sometimes unexpected and unpredictable ways. Throughout, attention is drawn to the unevenness and inequality built into global relationships and processes. -- Back cover

The text shows how geographical thinking enables us to grasp the connection between the local and global world. It begins with the idea that the way in which we see the world is a matter of interpretation: it depends upon who you are - a third World peasant or a resident of Los Angeles. This approach is developed by showing how different places are constructed through a web of economic, political, and social connections that shape and reshape them.

Today it stands as a frightening possibility, given the events of recent years and the rebirth of cults across the globe, from the home of democracy in the U.S. to the Far East and Japan.What Harry Bates uncovers in his role as an employee of a South African armaments manufacturer is a plot to topple the Dome of the Rock mosque in Jerusalem by simulating an earthquake, in a very real attempt for global control by a Zionist mastermind. Armed with this information, Harry's brother and a small band of supporters attempt a dramatic and potentially suicidal solution to the extremist's plot, but with fanatical Zionists as opponents their chances look slim.After it was first published in 1995, this book was accused by some of being far-fetched. Less than a month later the then Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Mr Rabin, was assassinated - by a fellow-Jew. The unthinkable had happened, and Zionism added yet another notch to the butt of its gun.
