WHAT WILL BE HISTORY'S NEXT GREAT EVENT?AS WE READ the 16th chapter of the book of Revelation we will notice 'such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth' that swallows up the great assembled armies of the world at Armageddon. This event is the one and only 'great day of God Almighty'.Paralleling the Exodus of Moses, the next great event will be a worldwide Exodus event, otherwise known as the millennium.The millennium will culminate in the Battle of Gog and Magog (Ezekiel 38-39, Revelation 20:7-10) and, with everyone expecting the second advent of Christ, the Antichrist will appear as a Messianic figure and deceive many. But as 'a thief in the night' Christ will gloriously return on that last day, in resurrection power, where death itself will be swallowed up in total victory - Hallelujah!The Quest for Millennial Hope is more than another eschatological commentary on the Book of Revelation. It is rather a treatment of Revelation as an apologetic of the old historicist post-millennial view - the original Protestant or reformed perspective.THIS HOPE-FILLED PERSPECTIVE IS OUR QUEST - A QUEST THAT LEADS US INTO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE EVER-GROWING KINGDOM OF GOD.Richard Wilson is a Presbyterian Minister, a calling that has taken him and his family across Australia and into many parts of the world.

IRFA has taken Richard on a 'circuit of ministry', serving churches across the Indian subcontinent. Whether he is preaching, teaching, visiting homes or offering pastoral care, Richard's quest has always been in the pursuit of God. He lives in Brisbane, Australia with his wife.

This book is designed to be helpful to anyone who wants to formalize their direct investments, improve their deal flow, or have a virtual or single family office which typically starts at $15M-$30M on net worth, but if you are a centimillionaire ($100M+), this is the only book every written really focused squarely on your needs. All of my clients are 1st or 2nd generation families, most are entrepreneurial, and all have some desire to improve their direct investments into operating businesses and real estate assets. After meeting over 2,000 family offices in person, speaking at 250+ events and signing agreements with over 30 families worth $100M+ over the last 12 years I have seen that those newly liquid or ultra-wealthy make almost all of the same mistakes. I have also seen that there are gaps in almost every single family office that are fundamental, costly, and easily avoided through models, processes, systems, tools, and guidance.

The town of Superior Ohio,certainly was living up to its name! In what was undoubtedly the most spectacular feat of the century,it simply picked itself up one night and rose two full miles above Earth! Radio messages stated simply that Superior had seceded from Earth.....But Don Cort, stranded on that rising town, was beginning to suspect that nothing was simple about Superior except its citizens. Calmly they accepted their rise in the world as being due to one of their local townspeople, a crackpot professor. But after a couple of weeks of floating around, it began to be obvious that the professor had no idea how to get them down. So then it was up to Cort: either find a way to anchor Superior, or spend the rest of his days on the smallest----and the nuttiest-----planet in the galaxy!

Presenting a case for French Theory in Shakespeare Studies, this book looks at how French theorists such as Bourdieu, Cixous, Deleuze, and Foucault were themselves shaped by reading Shakespeare.
