Artemis In Greek mythology, gods ruled the Earth; they created mortals and protected them from the figures of the underworld. Among these gods was Artemis. Her father, Zeus, was the King of Olympus. He was married to Hera, but often spent time with mortals and other goddesses. One day, Zeus saw Leto from Olympus. In order to prevent Leto from the jealous wrath of Hera, he transformed Leto and himself into quails and raped her (Lincoln Library 108). Afterwards, Leto was turned back into her human…

One of my particular favourite places we visited was an ancient Buddhist temple. On this day, we were fortunate enough to get a tour guide who delivered to us a very in-depth and fascinating tour of both the temple and the culture behind it. I was blown away by how extravagant the temple was. Every room was beautifully decorated with handcrafted, golden Buddas that each represented an important aspect of Buddhism.

Israel and will be their God”(Exodus 29:45). 1 Kings 8:10 and 14 describes the shift from the tabernacle to the temple, before Ezekiel 10:18-19 details God’s leaving the temple due to Israel’s sin. It is also during this period that the temple of God is destroyed. However, in Haggai 2:7 and 9 and Malachi 3:1, God promises to return to a house whose glory will surpass the glory of the temple built by Solomon.

robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem, and inside the Jewish temple, slaughtered a pig on an idol he built to the god, Jupiter. In referencing the Abomination of Desolation in the book of Daniel, Christ linked the Antichrist to Antiochus (Mark 13:14). Antichrist — like Antiochus before him — will also set up an idol in the future temple in Jerusalem and sacrifice to it. The Bible also associates the Antichrist to another person — The Roman…

of Jesus and the face of Judea. Judaic temples, history, rituals, and religious groups all contributed to the historical setting of the New Testament. The Jerusalem Temple has long been a historic site of conflict and religious upheaval.
