Agrippa I

Then to protect Paul from the Jews, the captain sent him to Caesarea for an appearance before Felix, the Roman governor. Felix held a hearing, but he took no action except to leave Paul in prison. Felix was governor for two additional years before Festus became the governor. Festus was aware of Paul’s innocence, but to prevent losing favor with the Jews, he ordered Paul back to Jerusalem for trial. However, once again, he exercised his right as a Roman citizen and appealed to Caesar. Before Paul was sent to Rome to stand before the Caesar, King Herod Agrippa II made an official visit to Caesarea. While he was there, he presided over a hearing for Paul and Agrippa realized that Paul was not guilty of the charges and would have freed him, but Paul had already appealed to Caesar; therefore, Paul would go to Rome. King Herod Agrippa II was the Grandson of Herod the Great (Luke 1:5) and the son of King Herod Agrippa I. (Acts 12:1) Emperor Claudius had made him king over all the land east and north of Lake Galilee. And, he was the Herod who said, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.” (Acts 26:28) Although Agrippa’s heart was pricked and he was almost persuaded to become a Christian, it is not a matter of record that he ever acted upon his faith. Faith without works is worthless. “What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” (James 2:14, 17)…

scream and attack the being. The Creature says, “The whole village was roused, some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped to the open country, and fearfully took refuge in a low hovel. Here then, I retreated, and lay down, happy to have found a shelter, however miserable, from the inclemency of the season, and still more from the barbarity of man” (Shelley 83). Initially, the Creature had been delighted by the sight of the…

This can be seen in Frankenstein where Victor is always in the wilderness, and because of this, it leads him into deep thoughts with feelings of sadness, guilt, and worry, especially after being victimized by the monster who killed most of his relatives. A quote from Frankenstein shows this “You seek for knowledge and wisdom as I once did; and I…

Both the Roman and Persian women who obtained this power did so in different ways, and these women also both conducted themselves differently once obtaining this uncommon privilege. Livia and Esther were both some of the first patricians in…

This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…
