Grand Rapids, Mi.: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. 72 pp. including one full-page illustration. Publisher's brown textured paper over boards, lettered in gilt. Spine sunned, else fine. An eschatological exploration of Biblical prophecies relating to Zionism and the coming Jewish rule of Palestine by American fundamentalist evangelist Harry Rimmer (1890-1952). An interesting feature of Rimmer's predictions is his conclusion that the Dead Sea will provide the government of Israel with vast and immediate wealth in the chemical deposits of the Dead Sea, which will play a role in the apocalypse: "It is largely because of this vast wealth that Russia and her godless allies will invade that devoted land, just at the dawn of That Day when Jesus shall come again. This will be the reason for the storm of battle that shall yet break over Palestine, the last conflict before the setting up of the Kingdom of Heaven and the restoration of Israel to her ancient place as… Read More

Description:
Paris: Librairie Maç, V. Gloton, 1930. 18.5 cm. 430,[2] pp. In French. Publisher's printed wrappers. Wrappers lightly worn at edges and lightly scuffed, leaves toned. Very good. Anti-Fascist work by the Italian journalist and anarcho-syndicalist Maria Rygier (1885-1953), examining the history of Freemasonry in Italy and the rise of Fascism in the context of anti-Masonic persecution. In 1914, committed to Italian interventionism in World War I, Rygier briefly worked as an editor at Mussolini's IL POPOLO D'ITALIA newspaper but was jailed the same year for syndicalist activism. By 1926, Rygier was openly opposing Mussolini and Fascism and fled to France, where she remained until the end of World War II. The preface of the book is written by noted French pacifist Lucien Le Foyer (1872-1952), who at the time of its publication was serving as the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of France.
