Juan Manuel Silvestre’s New Book El Día Del Juicio Final Sabrás Lo Que Contiene, Is A Spiritual Account On The Biblical Final Judgment And Christ’s Redemptive Sacrifice

Juan_Manuel_Silvestre

WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Día del Juicio Final Sabrás Lo Que Contiene was created by Juan Manuel Silvestre. Juan is an author from the Dominican Republic who has earned numerous degrees, including electronics, programming, and accounting. He is also an avid painter, using acrylic as the medium.

The first intention of this book is that the author had to capture this story of the end with a hint of novelty at times; and at the same time, with a crude picture of reality regarding our actions, it translates a touch of all the undeniable truth by which we will all be prosecuted. Each of the chapters of this work is linked with each other with a diamond correspondence to leave us surprised at past scenes, present events, and terrible things of the future.

Similarly, it is a subject of religious nature in whose essence and intention, his genius, is often mysterious and difficult to discern, as is obvious regarding prophetic matters. For these are described in their origin—the Bible—with the definition of figures, symbols, and the resources of higher language, they usually reach almost the idea because the second exceeds the language itself.

He, Christ, must fulfill the will of the Father, stripping himself of his clothing as a priest, intercessor, and lawyer during the trial to cover himself with the garb of a firm judge of the law of freedom and love. The judgment covers all times of humanity and all people born in the past, present, and future. All will be judged, but not everyone can be saved. Although only God knows it, in truth, each person can choose to be saved or not, as this work is stable.

Published by Page Publishing, Juan Manuel Silvestre’s new book El Día del Juicio Final Sabrás Lo Que Contiene references scriptures in explaining the impact of past and present circumstances that lead to the prophesies written in the Bible.

Consumers who wish to be illuminated with the divine truth concerning humanity’s ultimate salvation at the end of days can purchase El Día del Juicio Final Sabrás Lo Que Contiene in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

  • Placing a security freeze on your credit file.  A security freeze will prohibit a consumer reporting agency from releasing information in your credit report without your express authorization.  The security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent.  However, you should be aware that using a security freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit.  Pursuant to federal law, you cannot be charged to place or lift a security freeze on your credit report.  Contact the three major credit bureaus directly to place a security freeze on your credit file.

WatchMeGo from Sprint Brings Peace of Mind to Parents as a Wearable Safety and Security Solution for Young Children

0
Sprint Corp. Logo

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced WatchMeGo™ from Sprint, a unique solution designed just for kids to give parents peace of mind. WatchMeGo includes a cool kid’s watch with monitoring and communication plus the award-winning Kidomi™ app with parent-approved entertainment and educational activities for children ages 4 – 13. 

Sprint Corp. Logo

The WatchMeGo device is $144 or just $6 per month for 24 months with installment billing. Service to enable the security and communication features requires a simple rate plan of $10 per month with AutoPay and no activation fee.1 It is available starting today, Feb. 7, at www.sprint.com/WatchMeGo or 800-SPRINT1 and coming soon to all Sprint retail channels.

Nothing is more important to a parent than knowing their child’s location. Just about every parent has felt that rush of fear and confusion when they turn around and don’t immediately see their child. Or a coach switches the game field and you don’t know where to go to cheer them on. Or a birthday party pickup location changes and you didn’t get the text from the party host.

Designed to bring parents peace of mind, WatchMeGo offers real-time GPS location tracking2 through the custom WatchMeGo app. WatchMeGo lets parents and children stay connected without handing a young person a wireless phone. Parents and kids can send and receive voice messages, and the watch can also receive text messages from the parent.

“WatchMeGo is the perfect solution for parents with little ones who aren’t yet ready for their first phone,” said Doug Smith, Sprint vice president of product innovation and product marketing. “With the ability to track the location of your child almost anywhere using GPS and communicate through text or voice messages, WatchMeGo is an ideal addition to your family’s connected lifestyle.”

Parents can also receive automated alerts when their child’s WatchMeGo enters or exits a defined safety zone such as their school or neighborhood. The fun and stylish wearable has an “SOS” button that immediately sends an alert to a parent’s smartphone.

The Kidomi™ app from the education experts at Fingerprint Digital is included with WatchMeGo at no additional cost (a $7.99 per month value) and features hundreds of educational games and activities that focus on science, math, technology and reading. The kid-friendly and parent-approved app also delivers an extensive library of family entertainment videos and eBooks.

WatchMeGo is built with durability in mind with a highly rugged Gorilla Glass watch face and a long-lasting 400mAh battery. It is water-resistant (IP67 rating) so a bit of splashing and regular hand washing won’t affect performance. For more details, visit www.sprint.com/WatchMeGo.
