Sydney, one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, is an amazing combination of natural beauty and modern urbanity. With miles of beautiful shoreline, the Harbour City’ was home to Australia’s Aboriginal people for 40,000 years before the first European ships dropped anchor. Since then, it has grown into a world-class destination, filled with Victorian-era landmarks and contemporary skyscrapers. Take a trip down under with Sydney Then and Now. Side-by-side historical photographs document the booming growth of Australia’s capital city over the last century. Much has changed at the tip of Bennelong Point, on the Southern side of Sydney Cove. In 1817, Fort Macquarie stood on the site; today, one of the world’s most recognized and beloved silhouettes dominate: The Sydney Opera House. Investigate the ever-changing harbor, from McMahon’s Point, Mosman Bay, the Manly resort area, Elizabeth’s Bay and popular Bondi Beach. Examine Sydney’s historic landmarks and natural scenery as they were and are today. Notable destinations include the sweeping esplanade at Coogee (Australia’s original beachside resort), the Hero of Waterloo Pub (one of Sydney’ oldest surviving pubs), the Queen Victoria Building (originally constructed as the city’s fresh produce market), and many other splendid locations.

What may be a bit different about this book is that it interprets Revelation by reading its symbols and putting them in order, like a puzzle, so one may actually read what they say, essentially deciphering the book of Revelation. This approach eliminates a lot of speculation, and at the very least, renders a precise reading, however open to interpretation. The writing of Revealing the Puzzle of Revelation is clear and engaging. But its real strength lies in its take on Revelation itself, maintaining that it is an inspired work of real prophecy, some of which has seen fulfillment. It makes a case for Revelation being inspired by citing specific cases of fulfilled prophecy in history. And with that, Revelation is demonstrated to be a remarkably resilient work, and yet another way of presenting the gospel. Revealing the Puzzle of Revelation looks into many possible interpretations of John's vision, based upon popular teachings on it. But its ultimate purpose is simply to present a stable biblical reading of the prophecy, consistent with scripture.

History & Criticism

Sydney is graced with natural beauty - a vast and ancient flooded valley, it is a waterscape of beaches, rivers, bays and harbour with Sandstone beneath and eucalyptus around its shores. Sydney Then and Now captures the growth and evolution of the city in this remarkable setting through the last century and highlights both what has dramatically changed and what has remained resolutely the same.Many of the photos are taken from Sydney at Federation, when the city had just overtaken Melbourne as Australia's most populous city. The photos of today's Sydney are a continuation of that story, of a city still booming, the foundations still there, but now congested with skyscrapers and transport connections.Sites featured include: The harbour from Milsons Point, McMahon Point, and Dawes Point, Circular Quay, Fort Macquarie, Farm Cove, Government House, Royal Botanic Gardens, Bridge Street, Wynyard Square, Martin Place, the General Post Office, Queens Square, Elizabeth Street, King Street, Market Street, Sydney Town Hall, Queen Victoria Building, Bathurst Street, the Australian Museum, Homebush, Parramatta River, Callan Park, Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Bridge, Argyle Cut, Mosman Bay, Manly, Coogee, Bondi and Watsons Bay.
