Micah Chapter 2:

V1. Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Reflection: The oppressors who plan evil against the power and carry out such plans will experience the wrath of God.

V2. And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Reflection: Those leaders, oppressors who fraudulently or violently take away that which belongs to the poor.

V3. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Reflection: God has condemned the oppressors and He has planned for their destruction. Never will they be proud again.

V4. In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our

    Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorah Analysis

    God likes to inform God’s people the plans of destruction and blessing, alike. Destruction of Sodom and Gomorah and blessing Sarah with a child at the age of ninety, are few examples. The Sodom and Gomorajh narrative can be exemplary of God’s anger and mercy at the same time. Also, it is indicative of God being all powerful.…

    King James Criticism

    But James is not always praised and his criticism is often based on two of his policies: the Irish plantation and the reformation of the Scottish Kirk both, some believe, being major factors in the explosion of the Civil War in the 1640s. It is true that if James was a flexible monarch who favored stability he did tried to pass more revolutionary policies. Notably towards James’s other major source of dislike: the Scottish Kirk. If James did not like the English Parliament he was on the other hand very fond of the English Church. It was a Calvinist church supervised by bishops and had the king as the head of the church while in Scotland the Scottish kirk was trying to get rid of bishops and parishes.…

    The Twisting of the Branches: Corruption in House of the Scorpion Throughout all of history, there have been governments, and throughout all of government, there has been corruption. The similarity between all of these misled regimes is that they all had immense power, too much for one rule. The blackening of powered authorities is represented in Nancy Farmer’s dystopian fiction book, The House of the Scorpion. In The House of the Scorpion, Matt is a clone of the drug lord El Patron.…

    William Bradford's Religion In The Early 1600s

    2. In the early 1600s, William Bradford, a Puritan pilgrim from England, wrote a journal [Sovereignty and the], recording all his experiences regarding his pilgrimage. When this text was written, the Church of England had started to persecute all those who did not follow their religion, which included the Puritans, who had to move to Leiden, Holland. After a few years, a war broke out in that area, so the Pilgrims were forced to move somewhere else, in which they chose the present-day East Coast of North America. In the quote shown, William Bradford gratefully comments on how the pilgrims survived obstacles through their journey to the New World, in order to provide his religious insight on how God helped them out in times of need.…

    Beauvoir And The Oppressor Essay

    Nevertheless, Beauvoir asserts that individuals may fail to recognize this oppressive treatment and thus, accept it as usual treatment. As a result, Beauvoir argues that individuals have a duty to assert their freedom, especially if others impede it. Beauvoir states, “…the oppressed can fulfill his freedom as a man only in revolt, since the essential characteristic of the situation against which he is rebelling is precisely its prohibiting him from any development…” It is morally acceptable for oppressed individuals to rebel against their oppressor to assert their freedom and advance in life. According to Beauvoir, “…he [the oppressor] is more apt to present himself as the defender of certain values.” As part of the oppressors character,…

    Thomas Paine's African Slavery In America

    Hold so many hundred thousand in slavery; and annually enslave many thousands more, without any presence of authority, or claim upon them? How just, how suitable to our crime is the punishment with which Providence threatens us? Whether, then, all ought not immediately to discontinue and renounce it, with grief and abhorrence? Perhaps some (slaves) could give them lands upon reasonable rent, some; employing them in their labor still, might give them some reasonable allowances for it. The past treatment of Africans must naturally fill them with abhorrence of Christians; lead those to think our religion would make them more inhuman savages, if they embraced it; thus the gain of that trade has been pursued in oppositions of the redeemer's cause, and the happiness of…

    Role Of God In Puritan Literature

    The Puritans were not shy people when it came to their faith, and it was evident in their literary work. Whenever you read Puritan literature you can’t help but notice that God played a heavy role in their lives. This role however, did change according the different life experiences for each author. There was Jonathan Edward who portrayed a powerful God full of wrath, in his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” during the Great Awaking. Then there was Edward Taylor who portrayed a loving God in his poem “Meditation 8 (First Series),” while Mary Rowlandson portrayed a merciful God in her story “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.”…

    As a member of UNTSO (United Nations Truce Supervision Organization) this will be addressing the leaders of Al- Qaeda. The conflict between Israel and the Middle East has been going on for many years now. The United States should have been at the middle easts rescue with foreign aid during hardships and famine. The destruction of Iraq’s villages and the killing of multiple innocent Iraqi civilians is unjust and needs to be relieved and compensated. Now that that is said there are some key points that need to be reviewed for example; religious violence, mimetic theory, and identity based in a cosmic war.…

    'Jonah In The Book Of Jonah'

    As we further read the Old Testament, we come into several accounts that show a connection between God’s missional work and the city. One of these stories is described in the book of Jonah when God sends his prophet Jonah on a unique mission – to go to a pagan city of Nineveh. This is the first time that a prophet is sent to be a messenger in a non-Jewish, pagan city, nevertheless, at first he choses to run away from the city, and finally goes to preach there. Why does God send an Israelite prophet to a pagan city? He does so because of his love and his intentions to reconcile all humanity back with himself.…

    The Moral Corruption Of Family In William Shakespeare's Hamlet

    In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the moral corruption that occurs between family members causes animosity that results in their downfall, and eventually their ultimate demise. More specifically, the tainted view of an individual in a family may result in the downfall of the other family members involved. Evidence of tainted view of a family member causing undue harm can be found in the relationship between Hamlet and Claudius, Hamlet and Gertrude, and Hamlet and Old King Hamlet. The relationship between Hamlet and Claudius is problematic, largely due to the fact that they both wish death upon the other.…

    Comparison Of Jesus In The Gospels Of Mark And John

    In Jesus’ first parable, the parable of the sower, he compares some of the Christians being oppressed to seeds that fall on rocky ground: “Yet they do not have their own ‘root’ and so are short-lived. When distress or persecution comes because of the message, such a person becomes easily shaken right away” (Mark 4:17). He encourages them later to hold on to the message that he brings, to resist and serve their fellow men so as to overcome persecution and bring the kingdom to all…
