“After these things”, after what things you ask? After a dialogue crammed tight with principles for the seven churches. John, had been transported to heaven through an open door. In heaven John received a revelation of “things which must be hereafter”. Hence, in considering Revelation 4, it’s revealed that all believers in Jesus Christ will be taken out of this world at the culmination of the church age described in the epic event called “The Rapture”. John is called up. In addition, I accept as true the calling up as symbolic of the Rapture. Paul declares in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 that believes shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. This word "caught up" comes from a Greek word, harpazo, (har-pad-zo) which means to "seize…
Some of the most intriguing moments in The Oresteia come from the brief moments of prophecy. A form of prophecy appears in all three plays and all in different ways. However, both Cassandra’s prophecy and Clytaemnestra’s dream point strongly to the future, as well as the past, while the prophecy of the Pythia simply states the facts of what is in Apollo’s temple. The prophecies in Agamemnon and The Libation Bearers prove to be more significant to the plot than the prophecy in The Eumenides.…

It is believed that Tecumseh was born in 1768 in central Ohio. He was the second son of a Shawnee warrior who was killed at the Battle of Point Pleasant. In his dying breaths, his father commanded his eldest son Cheesuaka, to train Tecumseh as a warrior and to never make peace with the whites. Cheesuaka was good to his word and became an excellent warrior and a teacher. He grew close with his younger brother, and after their mother moved to Missouri he acted as a foster parent as well. Tecumseh was a model child, and although it is claimed that he ran in terror from his first battle, his courage never faltered from then on. Tall, muscular, intelligent, and highly charismatic, Tecumseh proved to be a master battle tactics and an excellent speaker. (Edmunds)…

For such a beautiful piece with such soft lighting and rich color, Salvator Rosa’s Allegory of Fortune hardly seems like something created out of anger. A beautiful woman, wrapped in a golden cloth is shown feeding an assortment of animals. There is little in the painting that evokes the sort of emotion in the viewer that Rosa put into the painting; only after applying knowledge of symbolism does the viewer see Rosa’s angry, shaking fist.…
While there are many in the Bible who are identified as prophets, Abraham was the first one to obtain this official designation by God in the scriptures. In Genesis 20:6-7 where we find God speaking to Abimelech in a dream he was having. He told Abimelech to give Abraham back his wife “…for he is a prophet”. The word used for prophet here is translated from both the Aramaic and Hebrew word “nabi”, which means seer.…
“Show me the man whose happiness was anything more than illusion.” (59) In the ancient Greek drama of Oedipus the King, prophecy plays a major role in the play. Prophecy is considered to be something that comes from the gods, something divine that is the truth and cannot be changed. Prophecy doesn’t seem to permit concept of free-will, a highly popular and controversial topic in today’s modern world. Free-will, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “freedom of humans to make choices that are not determined by prior causes or by divine intervention” [1]. Prophecy, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is “the inspired declaration of divine will and purpose” [2]. The two oppose each other quite clearly and in Oedipus the King, it is prophecy that takes…
Self-fulfilling prophecies. What does that mean? Where could you find it? More often then not, one's life can be largely based on self-fuflilling prophecies. "A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a person's expectations of an event, and her or his subsequent behavior based on those expectations, make the outcome more likely to occur than would otherwise have been true." In other words, it means that if you believe that you are able to do something, then you are likely to succeed, whereas if you believe that you cannot do something, then you are more likely to fail. One self-fulfilling prophecy is when I was fifteen years old. I had always wanted to play guitar and had finally received one that year. I didn't have…

In answering Steve’s comment about the destiny of the unsaved certain definitions need to be dealt with along with reference made available to us and I have just what we need. Steve I understand what you have read and the comment was made from the standpoint of the author “Clark Pinnock.” However, if you will allow me to answer your questions in defining words such as; “Hades, Gehenna, Sheol, Eternal punishment, Annihilationism, Universalism, Hell and Apokatastasis. You also asked the difference between Hades and Sheol. Since we are dealing with Sotereology, Eschatology and Ecclesiology it is only fair that we reference the Word of God. Our definitions will come from Elwell Evangelical Dictionary of Theology and some citing from Towns, Theology for Today.…
