Book of Revelation

As modern society begins to polarize away from traditional Christian views, the fears that Christianity distilled into humanity have begun to take a new form. In the past, the apocalypse has been seen as an end to the world as we know. An event that would save those who followed God’s word while condemning those who failed in this task. However, popular culture has appropriated a new interpretation of this Christian event. We will attempt to define the how the apocalypse has been…

to accept grace and true salvation, because he feels “the artist prays by creating.” In the end, once he realizes his fate is suffering, he equates this to his rejection of God’s grace and his pride of an artist got in the way. “Parker’s Back”, “Revelation”, and “Judgment Day” are all very similar in the sense that they focus on grace and an acceptance of God. In “Parker’s Back”, O.E. struggles with acceptance of grace and giving up his secular ways. His wife, Sara Ruth, wounds him and calls…

As the first seal is open we observe a horseman on a white horse, I want you to think of the word Deception. Who is this rider on the white horse, unleashed on the earth at the beginning of the tribulation? Some say it is Jesus and his second coming. How can Jesus be in Heaven opening the seals and riding this white horse at the same time? This rider wears a “crown”; Jesus wears “many crowns”. This rider wears a “stephanos”, a victor’s crown. Jesus wears many “diadems”, the many crowns of the…

2.) There is nowhere in the text that says this number is to be used to find out the identity of the Antichrist. Most futurist scholars would probably agree that by the time the Mark of the Beast is instituted, it won’t be a huge secret who the Antichrist is, especially to the saints living at the time of the Mark of the Beast. Contextually, it is clear from this passage that the Antichrist has already reached the place where Satan has come down to earth and is possessing the Antichrist (verse…

life is regarded with contempt (Calvin, III.ix.1). The perspective of the world as vanity and object of contempt appears also in the Second Helvetic Confession. The Second Helvetic Confession represents the devil as “the prince of this world” (The Book of Confession, 5.127). The perspectives of Calvin and the Helvetic Confession about this world make the distance between the kingdom of God and this world. Although the present life is one of God’s blessings and one of “those gifts of divine…

Revelation Chapter 20 Verse 1: Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain over his hand. The chain represents the extended chain countdown that Burrinn and Ralph were doing. The Rev Tree pro started with a sky spoken number, which was projected into the spiritual realm for all listening to hear, to officially start the countdown. Bear in mind, the bottomless pit is still an ever working mind. At any rate, the countdown was performed in a…

Apocalyptic literature like that of the Book of Daniel reveals aspirations of a group for their future. This type of literature, which is focused on eschatological themes conveys ideologies about the meaning and purpose of life. In this context Daniel’s visions act as an affirmation of Jewish empowerment for the future, even if they have struggled in the past. I will prove that the inclusion of Daniel’s visions in the Hebrew Bible serve the function of reflecting the ideal of Divine ordinance in…

In the end chapter of Bible, the Revelation talked about the God's right hand that is sealed with seven seals. The lamb of god brings the first four of the seven seals. They are represented by the four horse. The four riders were seen as a symbol of conquest, War, Famine and death. “Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and…

Apocalyptic literature reveals God’s secrets, it refers to the notion that God created history and will bring it to an end. Furthermore, an apocalypse is the idea that the world consists of both evil and righteous people and at some point God will destroy the evil people and send people to heaven or hell. To begin with, this apocalyptic literature is present throughout Daniel, as “until the time of the end” is mentioned repeatedly which refers to a time when history will come to an end. In…

of a world without revelation. This idea is like we received a lot of pieces to assemble them without instructions, where we do not know how to putting together if we're putting in the correct way, and what is the purpose of what we’re building. Without a revelation we can only guess what the unknown gods wanted, is simply doing things blindly hoping it work ... It is a life without meaning, aimless and purposeless. If the main focus of this essay is based on the word revelation, then what it…
