In this second work of the Apocalypse Series entitled The Seals and Six Trumpets: The Revealed Epochs of the Chosen Religion Age Prior to the Hour of Temptation the focus is upon John's book of Revelation chapters four through nine. John provides the most indepth insight into the Highest Heaven that has ever been revealed to mankind. The transfer of authority from the Father to his son, the Lamb, begins the spellbinding narrative. This transfer of power occurs shortly after the ascension of Jesus, now in his personna of the Lamb, following his resurrection from Death. Once the Lamb receives the plan of the Father he proceeds to open its seven seals which reveal the prophecy for the first half of this current age. When that has concluded the angels are given seven trumpets which usher in the events of the second half of this age. This particular work will encompass six of the trumpet soundings. This work offers an extensive evaluation of the text through a variety of exegetical lenses. The majesty and depth of this portion of John's vision provides prophetic insight concerning the development of mankind as viewed during these four unique epochs of time. Three epochs have already occurred-the Lord's Day, 70 AD fall of Jerusalem and the Reformation, but the fourth epoch of the sixth and seventh trumpet still awaits. Finally, to add fundamental structure to achieve a better understanding of John's vision, there are several mini-topics of interest such as creation, election and the heavenly realm. This work will challenge existing paradigms regarding Christian thoughts of the spiritual realm, but since the hope of all is a better life after death the challenge is definitely worth the effort.

Gene Roberts is a passionate student of God’s word with a unique interest for the book of the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse reveals God’s master plan. The Father sent his son Jesus into this world to save his followers from eternal separation from the triune God after death. Jesus accomplished this task by living a sinless life, dying a crucified death on a cross, conquering death by being resurrected on the third day and later ascending to heaven as the risen Christ. Now in the highest heaven he has been given all authority by the Father reigning in the priestly persona of the Lamb as the head of the church. One day he will return to reign on the earth as king.  The Seven Church Writings: A Historical Interpretation is an exhaustive historical and exegetical evaluation of the church writings of Revelation 1:10-3:21. This work seeks to understand why the risen Christ directed John to write to seven Asia Minor churches. What is unique about them? Is it their location or the relationship to each other that reveals his purpose? How does their selection correlate to human prophecy? Do they represent early church history or the history of the church age? The Great Commission calls for the church to disciple the nations. The application of history to the church age and two previous fallen ages evaluates whether God’s religious institution accomplishes this goal while simultaneously providing a fascinating peek into the concept of ‘history repeating itself’.  This first work of the Apocalypse Series produced by Refinement Ministries is designed to begin a systematic approach of the Apocalypse. The entire Bible points the believer towards eternal life with God. The Apocalypse is a literary masterpiece that reveals some of the various interactions within the spiritual realm and earth. Gene combines his theological and quantitative acumen to probe deep into the meaning of the text leaving no stone unturned. This work is transparent in its investigation of the meaning of the Apocalypse with its only allegiance to the understanding the word of God. If you desire to understand the plight of the church as this age ends or your destiny after death this book will provide you with a solid resource to assist in your journey.

An unprecedented examination of how news stories, editorials and photographs in the American press—and the journalists responsible for them—profoundly changed the nation’s thinking about civil rights in the South during the 1950s and ‘60s. Roberts and Klibanoff draw on private correspondence, notes from secret meetings, unpublished articles, and interviews to show how a dedicated cadre of newsmen—black and white—revealed to a nation its most shameful shortcomings that compelled its citizens to act. Meticulously researched and vividly rendered, The Race Beat is an extraordinary account of one of the most calamitous periods in our nation’s history, as told by those who covered it.
