Eternity

be an eternity staring at a boring weekly schedule the teacher starts talking. But as usual it’s just the teacher droning on about…

Communion or Eucharist, how should we think about this sacrament? The sacrament of the Communion is more than just a celebration during Church service in remembrance of Jesus’ death; it is so believers of Christ can fully accept Jesus into their bodies. The Eucharist is how the Catholic Church describes the transformation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Even though the bread and wine is transformed into the body and blood of Jesus, the physical properties of the…

first stanza, the word “kindly” is used to juxtapose with “death”. Usually, Death is personified as a evil and scary character. In this poem however, Death is personified as a courteous and gentle guide, that is bringing her on this voyage towards “eternity”. This is shown all through the poem,…

The Book of Revelation is the last book of the Bible, and one that has been the topic of many debates over the years. Revelation is the prophetic book written by John the Apostle around A.D. 95, while he was exiled to the island of Patmos. The purpose of this book was to encourage Christians to remain faithful while we wait for Christ's return and to offer hope that we have the victory in the end. The key themes of this book include Christ's return, the faithfulness of Christians, God's…

Messiaen choses to experiment with a wide range of dynamics through out the entire fourth movement. Furthermore, he indicates drastic changes of those dynamics that happen in a short period of time, which presents the audience with an element of surprise. Additionally, the Interlude is the shortest movement in the entire composition, which is 73 measures long and lasts for about two minutes (considering the entire Quartet for the End of Time is about 50 minutes long). Therefore, a rapid change…

time. Time is in the hand of God and He is the one who will put an end to the passage of time. Jesus has done all things. He said at the cross: all things are done – ‘it is finished’. Jesus will put an end to this evil age, so that we can enter into eternity. Jesus is the Supreme Judge, He will judge all things (John 5:22). In the Day of the Lord, Jesus will destroy all earthly systems; His power will overcome Satan and the Anti-…

or herself to, or the reputation they want to hold, not only in the eyes of those around them, but in their own eyes as well. If someone believes in God, then I believe they’ll fear the idea of Hell, not just Hell itself, but ending up there for eternity once they die. But if someone is an atheist, then clearly the thought of Hell doesn’t phase them on bit. The idea of reincarnation and having to live the same life, decisions, and choices over and over again, although it isn’t the exact same…

to one of two places. The eternal peace of Heaven or the agonizing pit of fire called hell. Those who go to Heaven have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior and will spend eternity in the paradise of Heaven with Him. Those who go to hell have denied themselves the eternal safety that Jesus provides and will spend eternity in agony by the torments that’s plural of the devil’s hell. If you do not have the eternal safety that Christ provides, I urge you to please ask Jesus to forgive you for…

this stanza, she is looking back on the day of her death, when the “Horses’ Heads” were facing the path to her death. She believes this day felt longer than eternity in heaven would feel. For Dickinson, this is a suggestion of her day-to-day feelings—that each day could be her last, and so the moments of anticipation stretch longer than eternity. This anticipation is clearly ever present in the daily life of Dickinson, surrounding her constantly, much like the carriage in the poem. In…

Secondly, all of Dickinson's work uses numerous poetic devices such as personification, metaphors, alteration, rhyme, and tone throughout the poem to create dramatize the meaning of death and create intense imagery. In the first poem, Emily Dickinson uses personification to shows how she and death travel together in the stanza two “We slowly drove‐He knew no haste”(Dickinson “ Because I could Not Stop For Death” 5). Death is being personified as a person who is driving to death. She said, “I…
