Revelation

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…

The scripture provides a tribulation time line; this period is set for seven years. During those days, the wrath of God will be released into humanity. While the chosen ones are celebrating and getting to prepare for the millennium with Jesus in heaven, the ones left behind are going to throw a great tribulation. It seems the people which select to follow Jesus throw this time they will be rewarded. 16 These verses read as follows: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was…

Before this class, I had heard of the book of Revelation and knew that it was a very touchy subject for many people that are religious or spiritual due to the fact that it is an apocalyptic book. Although I knew some about the book of Revelation, I did not know all that there was to know about this book in particular, and still after learning about this in class, there are many more things to continue to learn about this. In class, I learned that Revelation is an apocalypse, typically written in…

to believe different things about the way God acts in the world and the way in which we encounter the divine. In the following essay, I will discuss Barth and Cone’s theological methods in order to explain the way each arrives at a doctrine of revelation as well as a claim about the mode of God’s presence in the world. After discussing their unique methods and doctrinal differences, I will briefly discuss their points of convergence. To understand Barth’s theological method, one must realize…

always included a strong element of mysticism in its traditions. Mysticism is strongly based on the occurrences of revelations: experiences in which Divine knowledge is disclosed to someone, usually in the form of some incredible happenstance (for example, a bush that burns but never turns to ash.) Revelation is where all three major world religions started. Even more than that, revelation is appealing to both humans and God: to humans, because it means that anyone can gain knowledge directly…

General revelation discloses to all persons, in all times and all places through nature, history and the heart of a person (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans 1:20, Psalm 14:1). Special revelation is revealed to a particular person in a particular time through certain sacred writings (Psalm 19:7-9; John 17:17; Hebrews 1:3; John 2:11). Humans lost their complete and direct special revelation of God because of sin, which also diminished the human comprehension of general revelation. Regaining the general…

humanity and the ultimate power God holds over such contemptuous and weak beings. “The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you” (Edwards 436). Though the possibility of revelation sets each person apart from one another, the collective contains a complete lack of individuality at the hands of total uniformity of moral horror. “He is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in His sight; you are ten thousand times more…

question came to mind. Did Mr. Hitchens ever get any kind of revelation from God? I thought about this some more and then started flipping pages as fast as I could because I thought I read somewhere in our books that God reveals things to us and it is one of the first things He does. Sire (2015) wrote, “…as Christians, we get our knowledge about what first things are supposed to be not from human self-reflection but from revelation. As human beings we are finite. We can know nothing about…

A revelation is an unveiling or reveal of something from God to man. Revelation shows us that we have a God who is good and who reveals. The two types of revelation are general revelation and special revelation. General revelation is exposed and attainable throughout creation and the human conscience. Whereas, special revelation is a personal revelation through history, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, or scripture. The gift of revelation helps Christians receive a sign…
