Book of Revelation

stories that I have chosen which are “The Artificial Nigger” which is about Mr. Nelson a guy visiting Georgia with one other person and he is very surprised about seeing all the black people. The next story I have found to have a connection with is “Revelation” which is once again about how people deal with segregation and how these stories all have symbolism in common. The third and final one being “Judgement…

How incredible to think that this temptation is so great that the Lord will send down a flying angel to communicate this message to the people on earth. This speaks to the Lord’s awesome grace and love towards all humanity. He does not long for the death of anyone’s soul, but that they should repent and believe (Ezek. 33:11). Death of the soul is not annihilation, but everlasting torment. Humanity’s mythic stories of good and evil draw upon this real battle that culminates in real…

The four horsemen of Revelation chapter six bring with them the great judgements of God as prophesied. Each of these horsemen represent a specific type and severity of judgment. The Scripture reveals what each horseman represents and what the world can expect at their arrival, Revelation 6:1-8 says: And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him…

The Bible tells us to expect tribulation. The book of John states, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (English Standard Version (ESV)) As Robert Dees reminds us, the result of tribulation many times is trauma (Dees, 2011, p. 47). PTSD PTSD is a psychiatric condition that can occur following the experience or witnessing of a traumatic event. PTSD has been around for…

during the millennium. Talking then about how usefully and helpful having one language would be. How learning and wisdom will improve greatly since ideas will be more easily communicated. Spreading the knowledge will create more intelligence and making books and other information more availably to all. Also the effects it will have on children to help more easily teach one language. Which in turns helps with the growth of religion and spirituality. In these case having one religion and one…

No, one even the bravest of knights ever returned from there, for they fade away in the dust storms that arise out of nowhere. The land looked on with wild devastation and hate, so arid that it supports sparse vegetation. Unsuitable for humans to inhabit, so dry, the sun so hot, the skin burns and blisters in a short time, the wind blows indurate there, pitting the skin, a place that seems lifeless. This Dark Empire contains, grotesque spirits hidden deep beneath the surface. These souls and…

opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come!' 4Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword." (Revelation 6.9-15) Few concepts are better known to humanity than war. With the destruction and suffering that ensues, it is thought by many to be the end of mankind; yet this knowledge does little to prevent history from repeating itself. Even now,…

think of receiving a book with Bible story versions of these hidden icons, which I enjoyed deeply. What caught my attention was the number of people who couldn’t see the hidden picture. It was as if the picture would remain out of their view forever. For us who could see the images, it was apparent there was more than meets the eye in these magical pictures. As we begin our journey through the book of Revelation, we will…

John tells them. What John then describes afterwards is extremely confusing. Most likely it is a depiction of the end of the world. It could also be the depiction of events that took place before or after the time of this books publication. To continue with the description of the book, John opens seven seals. The first four seals are different horses that represent different things. The next three seals describe violent earthquakes and other natural disasters. Then angels come down and get seven…

realized that they could control and promote desired action by promising rewards to those that are faithful, and punishments to those who are not. In sum, it might be possible to assume that the development of the judgement day was not based on divine revelation, rather it was created for the sole purpose of controlling society. Thus, we can reject the idea of its…
