way appointed for him. At his trial, Jesus confesses that he is the Messiah and that the High Priest will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of God (Harris, 2014). This disclosure associates Jesus suffering and death with his ultimate revelation as the eschatological Son of Man. In this book, the Son of Man is the author’s favorite expression to denote Jesus three essential roles. These roles include an earthly figure who teaches with authority, a servant who embraces suffering, and…

interpretations as I am one that is too left brained. Which may be the case, but that is not the issue. Wright asserts that much of the Revelation is metaphorical language, which on that part I would agree. With that, he states that hell may not be a place of fire and pain. However, there are other scenarios in the New Testament where this is stated outside of the book Revelation. For example, Matthew 13:50 and Mark 9:43. The Gospels are commonly known as narrative books rather than metaphorical…

In the Book of Revelation, the main purpose of the Tribulation is to bring Israel back to God. Theses bound Seals are part of God’s promise to show Satan’s Beasts before Christ’s return, so He can set up Christ’s rebirth for His believers. As Jesus opens the first seal, a white horse and rider go forth on earth. The breaking of the first seal is imperative, and that the world identifies the first rider as the Antichrist, so they can understand the three False Prophets that follow. The Antichrist…

to accept grace and true salvation, because he feels “the artist prays by creating.” In the end, once he realizes his fate is suffering, he equates this to his rejection of God’s grace and his pride of an artist got in the way. “Parker’s Back”, “Revelation”, and “Judgment Day” are all very similar in the sense that they focus on grace and an acceptance of God.

These beasts have special demonic powers of communication for they can speak of the devil. They pawn themselves off as the Lamb, the Messiah, and as they represent the world’s ecumenical religion they eventually destroy God’s religious…

Upon waking up, he is disappointed to find out that humans are worshiping machinery and buildings rather than mutants. X-Men: Apocalypse can be examined as a complete intertextual reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ. Not only is it an intertextual echo for the Four Horsemen, but also there are two contrasting theological views of the character Apocalypse himself. Bryan Singer believes that this creation of Apocalypse embodies the God of the…

The Apostle John, having been exiled to the Isle of Patmos by Roman Emperor, Domitian, writes in the first chapter of the Book of Revelation that he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day and was privileged to see a vision of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ. It is in that vision that we read about Him Who is “like unto the Son of man”, and the majestic description of the Lord in all His glory as He walks among seven golden candlesticks. What does all of that glittery language mean? The…

Throughout my time in this course, I definitely gained a lot of education and insight into the many different religions of the world. Not only did a learn many new facts regarding religions I was not aware of, but I also learned a great many things about Christianity and developed a better understanding of the story and start of the most dominant faith of the world. When it came time to pick a research subject, one celestial event that came to mind that I have definitely heard of, but was…

Rowland dissects the theology and apocalyptic hermeneutics of famous theologians, Thomas Muentzer and Gerrard Winstanley, so that political discourse does not make facile Biblical interpretation. The apocalyptic language of Daniel is of significant scholarly interest, especially in regards to the biblical metanarrative, but Rowland advocate for a rebalance in Danielic exegesis. Rowland poignantly comments that the scriptures are not for appropriation, political or otherwise; of this he critiques…
