The Great Judgment Day deals with all of the Bible prophecy of that year, not directly associated with the Feast and Festival days (there is a difference). During the year of the Great Judgment, all of humanity who have died up until that point will be judged, "Don't be amazed at this, because the time is coming when everyone in their graves will hear His voice 29 and come out, those who have done good things to the Resurrection of Life, and those who have committed evil to the Resurrection of Condemnation." (John 5:28-29). But for the living, the survivors of the Great Tribulation, it will be the Jubilee year, when all 12 tribes of Israel (not just Jews) will return to the ancient land of Israel in a Second Exodus! The rest of the world will be on a fast learning curve when they notice that all of their armies have been destroyed! This year is none other than the Day of Yehovah ("the Lord"): "Because Yehovah has a Day of Vengeance, a year of compensation settling the dispute over Zion." (Isaiah 34:8). GB

Trapped inside the Empire, Captain Jules of Landfall has to use every deadly trick and strategy she knows to avoid recapture by the Emperor’s legions, and stay alive despite every attempt the Mages make to kill her. The only chance to get away may require walking back into the trap she barely escaped the first time. But even her freedom won’t be enough. The prophecy that consumes Jules’s life demands she has an heir to carry on her line. Yet how can she satisfy that while being hunted everywhere? And what might the prophecy cause to happen if she doesn’t have a child? Battling wind, waves, implacable Mage assassins, and Imperial ships, Jules is forced to turn to an unlikely ally—the hated Mechanics. She must gather men, women, and ships from all of the new settlements to face the Imperial legionaries and galleys. For only Jules can lead the free people of the west in the final battle that could be their salvation—or the destruction of all that she’s fought for.

When Hitler invaded Warsaw in the fall of 1939, hundreds of thousands of civilians—many of them Jewish—were trapped in the besieged city. The Rebbe Joseph Schneersohn, the leader of the ultra-orthodox Lubavitcher Jews, was among them. Followers throughout the world were filled with anguish, unable to confirm whether he was alive or dead. Working with officials in the United States government, a group of American Jews initiated what would ultimately become one of the strangest—and most miraculous—rescues of World War II. The escape of Rebbe Schneersohn from Warsaw has been the subject of speculation for decades. Historian Bryan Mark Rigg has now uncovered the true story of the rescue, which was propelled by a secret collaboration between American officials and leaders of German military intelligence. Amid the fog of war, a small group of dedicated German soldiers located the Rebbe and protected him from suspicious Nazis as they fled the city together. During the course of the mission, the Rebbe learned the shocking truth about the leader of the rescue operation, the decorated Wehrmacht soldier Ernst Bloch: he was himself half-Jewish, and a victim of the rising tide of German antisemitism. A harrowing story about identity and moral responsibility, Rescued from the Reich is also a riveting narrative history of one of the most extraordinary rescue missions of World War II.
