An Unseen Enemy

the older he got, the more the nightmares came back to haunt him from the war. It started to get progressively worse; to the point that even in broad daylight Reuben could hear the voices of his fellow soldiers screaming in excruciating pain as the enemy tortured them relentlessly. Sometimes he saw things. Saw the blood gushing out of battle wounds. Saw the splintered bones breaking through delicate skin. Saw the once bright light dim to nothingness in a man’s eyes. That's what the war did. Tore…

As the turn of almost a century after the sinking of the Titanic mariologist and archaeologist go out to the sunken ship to find out reasons and the flaws of this giant beauty of the sea. As researchers looked into the ship it was said the stamina and size both has been boosted as it was the largest passenger steamship built until that time. “The ship can never sink,” (Gavin and Zarr) and that was another statement of the time that seemed as if it was true but looking into the material and…

Within the IC there are 16 separate member organizations, with each falling within or under one of the following groups: independent intelligence agencies, military intelligence, and civilian intelligence and analysis offices within federal executive departments. Within this maze there is a direct line of authority and a line of coordination connecting these elements into a manageable soup. The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who reports to the President of the United States, leads the…

none other than Homer, the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Within these ancient texts, Homer expertly crafted his idea of a hero: honourable, courageous, and fierce warriors who instilled hope in comrades, and struck fear into the minds of the enemy with their overwhelming valor and inherent expertise on and off of the battlefield. Classical heroes like Odysseus and Achilleus were the embodiment of this. Additionally, these characters were, more often than not, descendants from royalty,…

teachings of the leaders of their faith, and found it at variance with their limited understanding, they arose to perpetrate such unseemly acts.... Consider Moses! Armed with the rod of celestial dominion, adorned with the white hand of Divine knowledge, and proceeding from the Paran of the love of God, and wielding the serpent of power and everlasting majesty, He shone forth from the Sinai of light upon the world. He summoned all the peoples and kindreds of the earth to the kingdom of eternity,…

buried children alive as a point of honor, who killed casually, and who – because His teachings meant the destruction of the national religion and the loss of their own wealth and power – had for thirteen long years been waiting to shed His blood. An enemy of His has written: ‘We search in vain through the pages of profane history for a parallel to the struggle in which for thirteen years the Prophet of Arabia, in face of discouragement and threats, rejection and persecution, retained thus his…

Christians were dead before salvation (v.1). Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. Και υμάς όντας νεκρούς τοις παραπτωμασιν και ταις αμαρτίαις υμών. The verse starts off with the word “Once”, telling the reader that this happened before an event or to their current situation. This tells the readers of the life they lived before they believed the gospel and received salvation. Paul tells his readers that they “experienced a living death” shown through the “vicious…

Old boy, The fighter and American history x are three movies that have nothing in common at first glance. My thinking of movies that are similar are rush hour and ShowTime because they’re both movies about two cops, one serious and the other a comedian, taking on the entire city. My definition of similar movies is that similar movies are substitutes, a hotdog can be substituted by a burger, an apple by an orange, etc. Old boy, The fighter and American history x are like compliments. For Example,…

I remember waking up with a bloody face. As I entered junior high, my family had moved to a town that had a racist streak. On the first day of school I made a remark identifying myself as believing in civil rights. The statement’s consequences arrived several months later when I was beaten unconscious by a fellow white student. At that time, I had never had a black friend, but the madness imposed on African Americans stormed into my world with the physical intimacy of violence. What do we know,…

Elihu prepared the way for God’s arrival on the stage with his vivid description of the impending storm, followed by a doxology: “From the north, golden, He is coming. Upon God is terrible majesty. The Almighty – we have not found Him; He is exalted in strength. In His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress. Therefore, humans fear Him, for He does not have regard for those who think themselves wise” (37:22-24). “Then the LORD (Yahweh) answered Job out of the storm” (38:1). God’s…
