Psalm 23

kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the saints and overpowering them 22until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom. 23"Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will…

As David Hill says, these people are longing for something spiritual (Hill, D., 1975, p. 113).Their hunger cannot be satisfied with things of this world, it can only be satisfied by God as Psalm 90:14 says “Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.” The first four beatitudes are concerned with waiting, as G.E.P. Cox, (. Cox ,G.E.P ,1952) says, the poor in spirit, the mournful, the meek…

The Interpretation of Old Testament Prophecy in the New Testament Ever since the beginning of Christianity, there has been the age-old debate between some Christian scholars concerning the interpretation of the Old Testament (OT) prophecy in the New Testament (NT), and whether or not such interpretation is valid. Perhaps, such disagreement might be the reason for the various sects of Christianity and why some of the Jewish faith still holds true to the OT belief system. Notwithstanding, one fact…

rebellious against God and every Christian who tries to please God struggles with sin. In Romans 5:12 (NIV), Paul tells us “through Adam sin entered into the world and so death was passed on to all men because the “wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23 NIV) The effect of Adam’s sin on nature is connected with the human dominion over nature (Gen. 1:26-28 NIV).

Speeches are a fundamental asset used by presidents to capture the attention of the public and or to persuade them on a particular side of a matter. Through the proper use of diction, imagery, and other rhetorical devices many great speakers are able to grasp their audience 's attention, discuss certain topics, and at times connect with them on a deeper level. Through the use of ethos, logos, and pathos both presidents’ Bush and Obama are able to address the sensitive topic of terrorism and its…

The drama of the recent presidential election left Americans asking the question, “What just happened here?” Whether a person’s favorite candidate won or lost is irrelevant to this discussion. What is important is the way in which people acted and reacted as tweets, posts, and advertisements went viral, and frankly, much of it was not pretty, or kind, or remotely Christ-like. How does a person, or more specifically a Christian, respond to all the negative campaigning full of hurtful words,…

Keeping God at the center of all we do is vital to succeed in work. God provides guidance, I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. (Psalm 32:8, New International Version). The Bible instructs individuals to gain knowledge. Conducting research assists an individual in gaining knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. Research is the foundation of better decisions, better ways of doing things…

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control which is all characteristics of God (Galatians 5:22-23, New Living Translation). If human beings were made in the image of God, then one also displays the same characteristics. Therefore, the same value, respect, and regard that one has for the attributes of God, are the same respect and regard that…

In this essay I am writing about what a relationship should look like. It should be centered around God and should model what relationships look like based on the Bible. It should correspond with Biblical teaching. What should a relationship look like based on Esther’s life?

Now because he loved her and was so happy to marry her that he held a great…
