Gummere translation. An insightful introduction by Donald Robertson traces Seneca's busy life at the centre of Roman power, explores how he reconciled his Stoic outlook with vast personal wealth, and highlights Seneca's relevance for the modern reader.

    The End Times: What Happens Next?: Good News of the Apocalypse and Demise of the New World Order , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 114min
    The Bible tells us that the end times will be marked with signs: social signs, physical signs, and spiritual signs. Today, many of the signs of the end times are present in our world. Due to a short-sighted approach to the study of history, many people miss the presence of the signs. The occurrences in our world appear "normal", but historically speaking, many occurrences in our world are not "normal". Rather, every century, every decade, and every millennium has been marked with circumstantial signs that have brought man closer and closer to the fulfillment of prophecies that were written thousands of years ago. This book series seeks to open Bible prophecy and your eagerness to study it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Barbara Ann Martin.
