ABOUT THE BOOK
Beyond Malignant Materialism makes sense of the economic confusion arising out of the serious events now exploding fast and furious globally. They reverberate from the apocalyptic war that has been waging between the Muslim Militarism of the Middle East and the Malignant Materialism of the Christian West. These forces are as set on finishing each other off as Communist Russia and Capitalist America were during the Cold-War. But in the wake of this war the economic confusion of the global economy is facing a serious financial crash that is spiraling into the chaos of a Greatest Depression.
Beyond Malignant Materialism is a modern multi-Faith interpretation of the Apocalypse for readers from any religious background or none. At the start of this millennium it offers unified cogent insights that explain the mess the world is in. It discovers a stream of fresh knowledge decoded to explain the historical events leading up to the present mess and leading out of it. It shows that these trying “end times” are really wonderful beginning times. It shows through the kaleidoscope of a new Faith how the mess happened and how it will be fixed, and it explains how economic confusion will give way to spiritual economics solving the world’s material ills and leading to a prosperous new Millennium. The Faith’s recent scriptures decode the prophecies in the Book of Revelation. They decode the Apocalypse vision as a fresh history of the roots of this financial crash resulting from and also ending the apocalyptic battle. The crash is the fall of the Babylon Confusion of Malignant Materialism (Chapter 18). The result is the vital entry of spiritual economics replacing this economic confusion (Chapter 19).
Beyond Malignant Materialism’s author, Dr John Able, is a retired intensive-care physician. Spurred on by events unfolding so fast, he hastens to share these fresh, informative, and pertinent insights of the coded interpretations that pertinently explain the fast unfolding financial and political events now swiftly sweeping across and challenging the peoples of the planet. His strikingly original and scholarly interpretation of the Book of Revelation is exceedingly interesting and must reading for anyone striving to penetrate the hidden secrets of this prophetic book.
