Revelation

Mrs. Turpin in the story Revelation by Flannery O’Connor is a very interesting character. Mrs. Turpin thinks of herself as a righteous Christian. She depicts herself as a respectable and very charitable person. She views herself as a morally superior person that is going to be save come judgement day. Mrs. Turpin in reality has not one of these qualities, although she promotes herself as women that is saved and going to receive an eternal bliss. Instead of having true Christian qualities she is…

Also, the book of Revelation, with all its various prophecies, mentions only one coming of the Lord—and that occurs after the Tribulation (Revelation 19-20). Passages such as Revelation 13:7 and 20:9 also lend support to posttribulationism in that there will obviously be saints in the Tribulation. Also, the resurrection of the dead in Revelation 20:5 is called “the first resurrection.” Posttribulationists assert that, since this “first”…

Judgment: Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Revelations “Judgment means vindication and liberation for the oppressed and destitute” (Sakenfeld, 458). In the biblical text, the one who is the highest judge and righteous ruler, is the God of Israel (Sakenfeld, 458). Being a just God, He specifically protects the poor and deprived. As it shows in Isaiah 41:17, “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake…

Possible Influence of Patmos on John The island of Patmos is only mentioned once in the Bible, in Revelation 1. The word Patmos is translated literally as “my killing”, and the island is considered basical sterile by several sources (Davis, 1944 & Gospel Faith, 2016). Little will grow in its rocks. In the strictest sense, sterile means unable to…

signaling the opening of the seven seals of God, the seals that will judge the nations for their wrongdoing. The white horse with a bow and a crown is seen by some “to represent Christ, mainly because he is associated with white, a color used in Revelation fourteen times to represent purity.” There is not a woe connected with this horseman, and in Rev 19:11-16 Christ rides in on a white horse and defeats his enemies, much like the rider on a white horse. However, many others think this…

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…

Section One This writer believes that the Bible is the Word of God, it is divine authority, it is infallible, (John 10:35) and is absolute sufficiency (Galatians 1:8-9) This writer also believes in its unlimited inerrancy and that “it is God breath” (2 Timothy 3:16), and that this prophecy of Ezekiel 40-48 should be understood literally if one is to get the correct understanding, after all, it is a very precise prophecy of a very real future physical temple. Supporting specifics in the…

The time of the end of the age of man spans from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the book of Revelation, which is the last book of the New Testament. Most people only consider the books of Daniel and Revelation as apocalyptic discernment to a future period known as the Great Tribulation. To fully understand where we are in the prophetic structure of the time that was allotted to the age of man, you must go back to the very beginning. You must look deep into the Scriptures for…

20th century, most of the world is living in a world that is unstable and brings the believers to personal troubles. Some of God’s people find themselves in a fiery furnace that leads them to a scrutiny that depicts the seven seals in the Book of Revelation as a true lesson of how to see and check human sin. The times puts them in a time of boundless persecution for both Jews and Christians alike. In fact, from the years 1908 to 1948 the uncertainties split the universe into pieces, and the…

If one dares ask a question that examines or critiques Trump, prepare to be attacked. This will only get worse as his ascendancy continues. However, if you laud Trump with praise, he will elevate you to a place of honor, exactly corresponding to Daniel 11:39. This is presently happening as people sell their soul and surrender their principles to join the Trump Train. Buddy up to him and he will treat you wonderfully. But challenge him at your own peril. The last part of the verse says, “he’ll…
