There was a man who cured the sick, performed miracles, was called the son of God and rose from the grave three days after his death. His name was Apollonius of Tyana and he was not unique. We ask why so many preachers and supposed miracle workers appeared by the Mediterranean around the 1st Century AD and why the cult of Jesus won out in Rivals of Jesus.
These are the days of miracles and wonders, disasters and destruction, hurricanes and tsunamis....but are these the 'end days' as prophesied in the Bible? Many people believe that The Apocalypse is at hand. We explore the prophesies of the end of the world and compare them to newly uncovered scientific facts. Is 'The Apocalypse' simply a first Century poetic description of an internal religious state as some theologians insist or the prophecy of impending doom?
