Your destiny is better than a cloud in heaven
What will you REALLY be doing once Jesus returns?

Your ultimate destiny and occupation are far greater than floating on a cloud in heaven doing a whole bunch of nothingness except staring at the face of God while strumming a harp, according to a brand-new book released this week that sheds light on your underpublicized personal future as revealed in the Bible.

"The Divine Secret: The Awesome and Untold Truth About Your Phenomenal Destiny" by Joe Kovacs, author of the No. 1 bestseller "Shocked by the Bible," finally explains the real reason why God created human beings in the first place, why this life is so hard, and the inspiring, magnificent future intended for the followers of Jesus that most churches don't wish to discuss, despite it being clearly spelled out on the pages of your own Bible.

As Kovacs points out in "The Divine Secret," "If you ask a typical believer on the street what they'll be doing for all eternity, there's a very good chance you'll hear an answer along the lines of, 'I'll be spending it with Jesus, just looking at Him as I float on a cloud and play a harp. Hallelujah!'

Although "The Divine Secret" is now being released at stores across the nation, the only place you can get a personally autographed copy is here!

"I've asked this question of others, and a Christian woman in her twenties once told me, 'I'll be looking at Jesus' face forever.' I asked her again to be a little more specific about her activities year after year, decade after decade, century after century, throughout all eternity. The only answer she could come up with was, 'Just looking at Jesus' face.'"

"Don't laugh," writes Kovacs. "That's actually a very common belief among people who call themselves believers, because they simply haven't grasped yet how incredible their destiny is, and how they'll be spending their time. Yes, believers will definitely get to see Jesus' face, but so many are under the mistaken impression they'll suddenly float up to their new personal address on a specific cloud and dwell forever there, strumming away on a harp or some other musical instrument, all the while praising God."

He continues: "Others may imagine that they'll spend their immortality in the sky, enjoying the very same activities they enjoyed during their physical lifetimes, whether it's non-stop fishing, golfing, skiing, painting, singing, shopping, lounging, snoozing, or whatever it is that floated their boat.

"Please don't get me wrong. All those things sound kinda nice, but imagine doing the same thing over and over, day after day, year after year, millennia after millennia. You'd probably get a bit bored, to say the least. There are two problems with that scenario: 1) it's simply not biblical; and 2) it provides really little, if any, meaning to our challenge-filled lives here.

"Human beings were not designed in the image and likeness of God and put here in our temporary physical bodies to resist and overcome evil for a given number of years, merely to win an atmospheric apartment on a cloud with a picturesque view of Jesus' face and an eternal round of sky golf, absent the greens fees. Sorry to burst your bubble if you happened to think that was really God's grand plan."

In "The Divine Secret," Kovacs goes through hundreds of Holy Scriptures, especially the ones focusing on your future: everything from becoming actual children of God and partakers of the divine nature to judging angels, sitting down on the throne of Jesus, and ruling and reigning alongside the Creator of the universe.

"If people knew what was really in store for them, they'd instantly get their act together to be part of the kingdom of God," said Kovacs. "Part of Jesus' message when He came to Earth some 2,000 years ago was to tell us, in effect, to 'Knock it off!' – to stop disobeying His commandments, so we can take part in His divine government."

"The Divine Secret" also reveals what will likely happen to the many who never heard God's truth during their lives – or perhaps were confused about it. That revelation, drawn from the words of your own Bible, is not what you probably think. It's most likely not what you've been taught – and it'll leave you absolutely stunned.

A special feature of "The Divine Secret" is that
all personal comments from God are highlighted in red letters, even from the OLD Testament. This really brings to life God's incredible plan.

"I've never understood why people make most Bibles showing red letters in the New Testament only, when it's the same God as in the Old Testament," Kovacs said. "Seeing the Creator's personal remarks highlighted in the Old Testament is something every lover of God and the Bible needs to experience. You don't want to miss a single word spoken by our loving God, and 'The Divine Secret' helps provide the prominence they deserve.

In addition to clearly explaining the true meaning of life, "The Divine Secret" also investigates:
  • The real nature of miracles
  • More than one resurrection from the dead in the future
  • What the Bible really means by "the kingdom of God"
  • The future "quickening" spoken of in the New Testament
  • The benefits of suffering
  • "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars" have something very important in common with your biblical destiny
  • Eating and drinking in the eternal kingdom of God
  • Special abilities you can have in the kingdom of God
  • The intriguing future of animals
  • And much more!
"If you liked 'Shocked by the Bible,' you'll love 'The Divine Secret,'" said Kovacs. "This book finally puts the answers so many are seeking into clear and simple terms. When you finally come to grips with the fact the Bible actually means what it says, you'll understand the glorious truth about your purpose, and the purpose of everyone who has ever existed."

Joe Kovacs has spent more than 25 years in the broadcast, print, and online media, receiving awards for excellence in news coverage from the Associated Press and United Press International. A frequent media guest, Kovacs has appeared on "The O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel as well as countless radio shows across America and the world, including "Coast to Coast AM."



'This is simply inviting the judgment of God'
Author of hit book says 'celebrating' sin a step too far

It was just a month ago, on June 15, when a CBS News report was headlined: "Panetta celebrates gay pride month by saluting LGBT military members."

Said the report, "Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Friday thanked gay and lesbian military members for their service, as the Pentagon prepares to mark June as gay pride month with an official salute. In a remarkable sign of a cultural change in the U.S. military, Panetta said that with the repeal last year of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law that prohibited gays from serving openly in the military, gays and lesbians can now be proud to be in uniform. 'Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you are,' Panetta said."

Best-selling author and longtime pastor Carl Gallups told WND, "Listen carefully to Secretary Panetta's words, he says this event is a 'remarkable sign of a cultural change in the U.S. military.'"

"Yes," Gallups said, "This is exactly what it is – a cultural change – a paradigm shift of worldviews. The reason that it is remarkable is that the change goes completely against the grain of the Judeo/Christian pillars and heritage of our nation's founding.

"While our Founding Fathers never intended for the U.S. to be a theocracy (they had escaped just such a system in Europe), they did intend for it to be a constitutional republic based on the Judeo/Christian principles found in the Bible. This fact cannot be intelligently denied. From the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution itself and the very first amendment – this foundational underpinning is blatantly obvious."

Gallups' new book is titled: "The Magic Man In The Sky: Effectively Defending The Christian Faith." It is published by WND Books. His book has reached No. 1 best-seller status on Amazon in Science and Religion.

Gallups told WND, "About 60 years ago, our culture decided it didn't need God or the mention of His Word anymore. So, we have raised several generations of children to believe that they are the 'me' generation. They were taught that there is no God, there is no 'higher authority,' there are no moral absolutes, and that they are nothing more than a cosmic happenstance based upon sheer random luck. I have an entire chapter about this phenomenon in my new book."

He said, "With such a worldview thoroughly ingrained within the institutions of our culture we now reap what we have sown. The abortion holocaust could not happen without first convincing the nation to believe that we are nothing more than a mere animal. The radical homosexual movement could have never risen to its current level without first persuading the nation that there is no standard of right and wrong concerning our sexuality. Homosexual marriage would have never been considered until first the nation became convinced that marriage is nothing special or divinely ordained, and that marriage can be defined anyway in which man finds pleasing to his flesh and lust."

When WND asked Gallups what his specific observations were concerning the celebration of "Gay" Pride Month in the military, he had this to say, "A few years back on my talk radio program, I observed that if open homosexuality was ever fully allowed in the military that we would be opening Pandora's Box on all manner of perversion. I told my audience that if that day ever came that the military would actually be celebrating Gay Pride Month openly. I had listeners call in who were outraged with my predictions. They called me a 'reactionary,' an 'exaggerator,' and 'out of touch with reality,' in this matter.

"Well, here we are," Gallups said. "Open homosexuality has been enacted and in less than a year the military is celebrating Gay Pride Month. This downward progression was easy to forecast and I fear the worst is yet to be seen in this matter."

When asked why Gallups refers to homosexuality as a perversion, Gallups responded, “First and foremost because the word of God describes it that way. Secondly, our own medical journals, just a few decades ago, described it in those terms (mental illness), and thirdly – just think about it! The military is actually going to celebrate the fact that two men have sex as though one of them is a woman! The U.S. military is actually going to openly celebrate that one man is going to have physiologically illogical sex with another man! And, to top it all off, the secretary of defense actually said, 'Now you can be proud of serving your country, and be proud of who you are.'"

Gallups said, "A person who is a homosexual can always be proud of serving his country, I have no problem with that. But neither the U.S. military, nor the U.S. government has any business declaring that a person can be proud of having perverted sex and that we will help them celebrate it with military and government sanction. For those of us who come from a Biblical worldview – we know that this is simply inviting the judgment of God upon us. May God have mercy upon us."
