“Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

    Bradstreet and Edwards Compare and Contrast “The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without promise of obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.” (Edwards, 126) Anne Bradstreet and Jonathan Edwards were both very devoted to God , but had different views of him. Bradstreet, a house wife, thought that God did everything for a reason and gave her obstacles that he thought she could handle. While Edwards, a minister, believed that you had to truly believe in God, and if you didn’t God would send you to hell whenever he pleased.…

    Book 9.5- The Psithyrismos Falaina’s Attack “We were still escaping from the wrath of our discouraged adversary, the Cyclops, and our ship drifted on the sea after being showered by a massive amount of boulders.

The key words also highlighted in this article are: hope; intercalation; judgment; kingdom; purpose; seals; Revelation; structure; trumpets.

    Velutha Symbolism

    Another number is four, which pops up when discussing how long Velutha disappeared for; four years (73). While this ruins the trope of a Christ figure disappearing or dying for three units of time (three days, three months, three years, etc.), it also gives us the opportunity to play with the number four. While quartets, inevitably, occur several times in a work as long as the Bible, the most symbolism-heavy one is the four horsemen. The four horsemen is a seriously morbid omen to place on someone pure enough to be established as a Christ figure, but when considering how after his return Rahel and her family 's lives begin to spiral, it 's certainly an omen that came…

The five corners of their seal represented five planets/elements, which held strong meaning to the Triad. Milne points out that “the reasons (or some of the reasons) why these planets are placed at the corners of this seal, may be, (…) because they are considered the extreme points of all created things.”…
