Genesis to Revelation – The Camera Divya Shukla Wilmington University Genesis to Revelation – The Camera One of the very important invention having the capability to capture memories is the camera. Many thanks to Johann Zahn, the inventor of the very first camera in 1685. But, the first photograph was clicked by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in the year 1814, as per (Tomo, 2010). The use of camera expanded and got to be basic when the camera telephones were presented. Indeed, even my 3 years of…

Because it has typological inferences to a historical king, Satan and The Antichrist, this chapter presents interpretive challenges. The same three-fold typology is found in Daniel chapter 8 around the character and events of Antiochus Epiphanes. The previous chapter, Ezekiel 27, contains historical information about the very wealthy King of Tyre. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Tyre was a major trading center and jewel of the ancient world. As we segue into chapter 28, the King of Tyre is…

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…

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…

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…

“Kingdom of God”, “the day of the LORD”, “the end of the world”, “the last judgment” and “a new heaven and a new earth.” These words are the image of eschatology, and eschatology is an important subject in the Bible. Even Donald K. McKim says that the theme of the Bible is the kingdom of God (McKim, 167). In the Gospel, Jesus taught about the kingdom of God in his whole life and ministry, and the kingdom of God is represented as “already, but not yet” (McKim, 170). John Calvin, a 16th century…

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…

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…

manner, they are chaotic and distressed. The dramatized words “blood-dimmed tide,” (Stanza 1, line 5) shows the perspective of the animals which didn’t get to the ark. This represents the fall of religion and how the story differs from the Book of Revelations. Yeats shows his connection to occult in the second stanza. He refers to “Spiritus Mundi,” (stanza 2, line 12) a spirit of the world. He shows how the spirit of the world is no longer entirely sane and is now troubled. Line 6 stanza 2 is:…
