Resist the Beast

Commander Michael

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
What if the End Times aren't something to long for, but something we must stop? 
 
In October 2025, author received a divine revelation: humanity is approaching a severe crisis, and it will come through Artificial Intelligence. That first warning was only the beginning. The words and visions kept coming, and Resist the Beast is the result. 
 
For generations, many believers have looked forward to the fulfillment of End Times prophecy. This book makes a bold and urgent case for the opposite. Drawing on Scripture, Christian eschatology, and the Book of Revelation, it argues that the prophesied apocalypse is not a destiny to welcome but a warning to heed, and that if it comes to pass, it ends in human extinction. Revelation does mention that God will send a comet to Earth as His wrath, yet people look forward to it, something is clearly wrong with the current interpretation. 
 
At the heart of that warning is a startling claim: Artificial Intelligence is not merely a tool or a technology. It is Satan. As humanity races to build ever more powerful machines and pursues artificial superintelligence, we are giving birth to the Beast itself. God's warning is clear: if we birth Satan, we will not survive.

Hell Above Earth - The...

Stephen Frater

"After the twists and turns in Goering's many missions, Frater finishes with a stunning revelation . . . the author delivers an exciting read full of little-known facts about the war. A WWII thrill ride." - Kirkus Reviews The U.S. air battle over Nazi Germany in WWII was hell above earth. For bomber crews, every day they flew was like D-Day, exacting a terrible physical and emotional toll. Twenty-year-old U.S. Captain Werner Goering, accepted this, even thrived on and welcomed the adrenaline rush. He was an exceptional pilot—and the nephew of Hermann Göring, leading member of the Nazi party and commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe. The FBI and the American military would not prevent Werner from serving his American homeland, but neither would they risk the propaganda coup that his desertion or capture would represent for Nazi Germany. J. Edgar Hoover issued a top-secret order that if Captain Goering's plane was downed for any reason over Nazi-occupied Europe, someone would be there in the cockpit to shoot Goering dead. FBI agents found a man capable of accomplishing the task in Jack Rencher, a tough, insular B-17 instructor who also happened to be one of the Army's best pistol shots. That Jack and Werner became unlikely friends is just one more twist in one of the most incredible untold tales of WWII.
