The writer of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament said that "there is no new thing under the sun" (Eccl. 1:9) and students of church history never cease to be amazed that the same theories and philosophies arise from time to time in the Church of Jesus Christ. The ONENESS doctrines, which, we are told, have come as a result of a present-day "revelation", are, in reality, a revival of old errors, which were propagated and developed during the early centuries of the Christian era. These old discredited theories were rejected then because they were weighed and found wanting - and, ...

Mania surrounding messianic prophets has defined the national consciousness since the American Revolution. From Civil War veteran and virulent anticapitalist Cyrus Teed, to the dapper and overlooked civil rights pioneer Father Divine, to even the megalomaniacal Jim Jones, these figures have routinely been dismissed as dangerous and hysterical outliers. After years of studying these emblematic figures, Adam Morris demonstrates that messiahs are not just a classic trope of our national culture; their visions are essential for understanding American history.

Asmoday gained fame for being mentioned in Goetia books and is a highly sought after Demon.

Faith Jones was raised to be part of an elite army preparing for the End Times. Isolated on a farm in Macau, she practised devotions and read letters of prophecy written by her grandfather, the leader of the now infamous cult The Children of God. A direct decedent of the founding family, Faith featured in international media coverage - she was celebrated as extraordinary and then published doubly as a sharp reminder that she was not. With indomitable grit, Faith created a world of her own, pilfering books and educating herself in secret.

In the late 1800s, a religious organization known as the Watchtower was birthed. This group places much emphasis on Christ’s return and Armageddon, aggressively seeking to spread their doctrine to all who will listen.

Many of the Watchtower's deceptions were easy to spot in the early days, but with almost 150 years of practice, they have found ways to fine-tune their inconsistencies. Millions have been misled by the Watchtower and have become personal carriers of their ...
