Book of Revelation

The book of Isaiah the prophet begins with a third-person verse identifying the name of the book's visionary, and ends not only with a prophetic word of hope for God's chosen people, but also with an oracle of warning to those who do evil.

Allegories are prominent in almost all great literature. Christian allegories, like the Garden of Eden, the serpent, the crucifixion, and heaven and hell, are popular in all great Christian works, and Hamlet is no exception. These allusions appear in books and…

always included a strong element of mysticism in its traditions. Mysticism is strongly based on the occurrences of revelations: experiences in which Divine knowledge is disclosed to someone, usually in the form of some incredible happenstance (for example, a bush that burns but never turns to ash.) Revelation is where all three major world religions started. Even more than that, revelation is appealing to both humans and God: to humans, because it means that anyone can gain knowledge directly…

that the Jewish Sabbath, Muslim Ramadan, and Christian performance of Eucharist are all setting a time where the followers of these religion could perform rituals to feel connected to God. Judaism takes forth the importance of time directly from the Book of Genesis.…

For many Christians, God’s revelation is through the lens of a less than Christian worldview where knowledge of God is imperfect and clarified through societal norms, preconceptions, and judgments (McGrath, 2014).

General revelation discloses to all persons, in all times and all places through nature, history and the heart of a person (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20, Psalm 14:1). Special revelation is revealed to a particular person in a particular time through certain sacred writings (Psalm 19:7-9; John 17:17; Hebrews 1:3; John 2:11). Humans lost their complete and direct special revelation of God because of sin, which also diminished the human comprehension of general revelation. Regaining the general…

to believe different things about the way God acts in the world and the way in which we encounter the divine. In the following essay, I will discuss Barth and Cone’s theological methods in order to explain the way each arrives at a doctrine of revelation as well as a claim about the mode of God’s presence in the world. After discussing their unique methods and doctrinal differences, I will briefly discuss their points of convergence. To understand Barth’s theological method, one must realize…

about it have been LDS. They always quote the first part of the verse but never continue on to what is, to me, the most important portion. Ezra Taft Benson expounded on the subject, “I have often felt that the Lord is further counseling us in this revelation against indiscriminately killing animals.” Yes, meat may taste good and people can argue that it is good for us but sometimes it is important to realize just where it is coming from.
