Winds of Heaven ) described in Daniel 7:2-4/

Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night,

Revelation 11:7-13/

And when they have finished their testimony, the beast

that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war

against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great

will not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves;

These two prophetic

individuals are the ManChild of the woman clothed

with the sun, and he with seven heads and ten horns,

and ten crowns upon his horns of chapter thirteen in

Revelation. And here we find his Faithful and True

counter-part in Revelation chapter twelve with his

Mother in verses thirteen and seventeen/

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the

earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth

the ManChild. And to the woman were given two

wings of a great Eagle, that she might fly into the

wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for

a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the

serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water

as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her

to be carried away in the flood. And the earth helped

the woman, and then the earth opened her mouth and

swallowed up the flood which the dragon had cast out

of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the

woman, and went to make war with the remnant

    Gloria Anzaldua wrote two essays Entering into the Serpent and How to Tame a Wild Tongue. It is difficult for me to understand because both of these two essays are in English and Spanish. I think it is the author’s purpose that let people know how difficult it is to suffer from different cultures and languages. Anzaldua mainly talks about the differences in cultures and languages to show how she fights against people’s common sense of American culture.…

    As the novel progresses, the two main characters have changed in their characteristics, which show the fault in civilization through temptation and human nature using symbolism for each individual. At first, Ralph and Jack got along with teamwork and split their parts and works among the boys. During the building of the rescue fire, Jack and Ralph were working together to lift up a log to the fire, “Together, joined in the effort by burden, they stammered up the last step of the mountain. Together, they chanted One! Two! Three! and they crashed the log on to the great pile” (Golding 39). This quotation uses the repetition of the word “together” because the author is trying to express the positive relationship between the two boys. This passage also symbolises the beginning…

    Regarded as the most traumatic and socially disturbing period in recent Angola history, civil war erupted after the country’s decolonization. The structureless and devastated Angola, was in a state of anarchy that attracted a capitalist versus communist conflict where political dominance remained up for grabs. The southern African country hosted the cold war theatre following independence from Portuguese colonization in 1975. Winner of the Independent’s foreign fiction award in 2007, Jose Eduardo Agualusa’s The Book of Chameleons captures what the life of the Angolan became proceeding the bloody struggle that took the lives of a half million civilians and displaced another million over the course of 27 years. This proxy civil war conflict…

    Similarly, in Revelation 12 we see this mesh between a snake and dragon. “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.” (Rev. 12:9) This is reminiscent of the serpent in the Garden of Eden who led the world astray when he deceived Adam and Eve. In his commentary on Revelation, Beale confirms this, saying “The dragon is now described as the serpent of old, that is, the serpent of Gen. 3:1, 14.” (Beale 430) Stefanovic agrees with Beale, saying “he is the ancient serpent. This is the allusion to Genesis 3, where through the serpent Satan deceived Adam and Eve, thus bringing sin on the earth.” (Stefanovic 395) In his essay on the dragon of Revelation, Benton points out a verse from Isaiah that meshes the dragon and the ancient serpent together. “In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, with His fierce and great and mighty sword, even Leviathan the twisted serpent; and He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.” (Isaiah 27:1) This sums up the major beliefs about the interchangeability of the dragons and serpents. The Leviathan is a serpent and a dragon from the sea. Both the Judeo-Christian culture and the surrounding countries viewed dragons and serpents as the same or similar mythological…

    With the beast of Revelations, the myth would best fit into three of the five he discuses: Functional Theory, Symbolic Theory, and Structuralist Theory. The beast is part of the functional theory because it describes “what it does” and what the myth does. According to the myth, the beast will emerge from the Mediterranean Sea and begin the taunting and blasphemies about Christ. In the book “The Beast of Revelation: Myth, Metaphor or Soon-Coming Reality” John H. Ogwyn writes: “The elderly Apostle John stood upon the sandy shore of the Isle of Patmos in the Mediterranean Sea. As he gazed out to sea, the scene before him seemed to change. Dark clouds lowered and the sea appeared to churn. As he stared transfixed, a strange creature rose up out of the water.” It relates to the functional theory because it describes what the beast does and how it impacts the world in the second coming of…
