Antichrist

there was a very dark side to these conquerors. Howard Zinn was trying to convey the idea that the natives felt the full force of the cruelty by the Spanish and were completely devastated. The Chilam Balam even goes so far as to say “This was the Antichrist here on earth”6. The natives were comparing the Spanish, as a result of their unjust treatment of the natives, to the complete opposite of Christ and all that it stood for. These excerpts, especially the last, reveal the true nature of the…

The timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation is one of the most controversial issues in the church today. The three primary views are pre-tribulational (the rapture occurs before the tribulation), mid-tribulational (the rapture occurs at or near the mid-point of the tribulation), and post-tribulational (the rapture occurs at the end of the tribulation). A fourth view, commonly known as pre-wrath, is a slight modification of the mid-tribulational position. In eschatology, it is…

will pass on earth after the sound of the trumpet and by the 6th trumpet “1/3 of the earth’s population will be killed” while those who remain will consist of the people who have not repented (Revelation 9:20). John then receives visions of the antichrist and Satan, seven more angels appear with seven bowls of severe plagues, rather than repenting mankind will “blasphemed God” because of the horror of the plagues. The reason for the horrid plagues are because of God’s judgments on the wicked…

A Paranoid World According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, paranoia is “a serious mental illness that causes you to falsely believe that other people are trying to harm you” it is also “a tendency on the part of an individual or group toward excessive or irrational suspiciousness and distrustfulness of others”. Paranoia is all around us. In Cory Doctorow 's novel, Little Brother, the Bay Bridge in San Francisco is bombed during a terrorist attack. Marcus Yallow is a teenage technical…

Luther’s tone is consistent with his tirades against the Pope, or as Luther calls him, the Antichrist. Additionally, Luther wanted the Jews to convert to Christianity, so in the beginning, when he thought it possible for many Jews to convert, he spoke to them and about them in a very amiable and inclusive way. Luther’s writing to Charles V in…

Who’s Responsible? I researched and looked for all of my information trying to figure out who was responsible for the horrific tragedy of Columbine when in reality, there were lots of factors in this event and all of them added up evenly in many ways. Each and every one of the sources I’ve found has both good points of view but they also have downsides at the same time. A lot of people were wrongfully blamed and criticized for being themselves, therefore pulled into this tragedy without…

(1451-1506). On the morning of Oct. 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus stepped ashore on an island in what has since become known as the Americas. The arrival of his ships in the Western Hemisphere was one of the pivotal events in world history. It opened up a new world for Europeans and initiated the spread of Western civilization to a new hemisphere. But if these lands were a new world for Europeans, they were a very old world for the inhabitants Columbus and his successors encountered. Cultures…

Martin Luther is arguably one of the most important reformers in Church history because he was the catalyst to many of the reformations. Luther also has an interestingly dramatic attitude in the way he dealt with life situations. The Catholic Church has been through many ups and downs, but when Luther was called to be a monk the Catholic Church was failing in many ways to be the bride of Christ. When Luther became a monk he began to see the problems with the Catholic Church and wanted to see the…

This motif is presented in the beginning of the novel when the minister asked Candide if he thought the Pope is Antichrist. He was displeased with Candide’s indifference, refused to feed him and then his wife dumped human waste upon him (Voltaire 27). The Anabaptist named James proved to be nicer than the minister even though he was a member of one of the most heavily…

Kingdom Come, written by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, depicts the end of times in the DC Comic Universe at the hands of the Metahumans and “superheroes.” I will be analyzing the scene just after the conclusion of Chapter One, where Superman and other heroes are depicted flying inside the burning torch of the Statue of Liberty, in a silhouette of black and red flames. In this scene the reader sees Superman at the lead, accompanied, presumably, by other heroes of the Justice League, flying through…
