In Night John chapter 6 and 7, there are many significant events that occur. It starts off when Nightjohn is unable to do anything for 3 days because of an injury to his toes.

When it comes to the millennial reign of Christ in Revelation chapter 20 the many different perspectives and viewpoints based on the timing of what this event is. “What is the purpose of the millennial kingdom? For one thing, it will be the fulfillment of God 's promises to Israel and to Christ (Ps 2; Luke 1:30-33). Our Lord reaffirmed them to His own Apostles (Luke 22:29-30). This kingdom will be a worldwide display of Christ 's glory, when all nature will be set free from the bondage of sin (Romans 8:19-22). It will be the answer to the prayers of the saints, "My kingdom come!"”…
The documentary 13th gave an informative insight into the unfair system that has been placed in favor of mass incarceration and in opposition of black and Hispanic people. This documentary brought to light how people exploited the 13th amendment as soon as it was passed by picking at the loophole that allows for slavery. Southern states took black men who committed minor offenses such as loitering and locked them up to create a prison that was made for white people to profit from, this way black men continued living as slaves. This system has largely affected the way black men are treated. The documentary shows how politicians placed this system in order to gain political points with the public by inciting fear and hatred towards criminals.…

New Times Roman font, with at least FIVE academic references (written works written by doctorate-level scholars with established reputations in the field; e.g. commentary, scholarly book, dictionary or encyclopedia article, journal article, etc.).

“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…
For the past two-thousand years, the Book of Genesis has served as work of literature to the western civilization. Whether people believed in the Bible or not, the Book of Genesis tell stories they talk about having good morals, teaching live-learned lessons and overall it gives a glimpse of how the first human being acted when the world was developing and how they handle problems and situations. However, even though the book of Genesis shows a tone of life long morals, Genesis also shows the different sides of humans. Genesis shows how human can be deceitful, evil, and disobedient to authority figures. But these traits with humans were rarely displayed by man, but mostly by woman. In the book of Genesis, woman are displayed obstacles and road blocks to these undermining and broad goals through God‘s plan . From the beginning of the book with Garden of Eden to the ending of the story of Joseph, women, as mothers and wives are typically portrayed disloyal, undependable mischievous or, just simply for their womanhood, and they frequently threaten to undermine God's will than men. This portrayal is done because women were not considered equal to man and man was the only thing that God intended to create. Women in Genesis were set as these archetypes that God wanted them to be, but in the narrative its they are shown otherwise.…
The Last Supper by Leonardo is very different to Tintoretto's representation of the same incident. The last supper is one of the most important occurrences which took place in the Christian religion such an important event that many have seen the need for the event visually recorded through art the two most famous of these representations are by far Tintoretto's and Leonardo's works. The Last Supper by Leonardo was created during the renaissance period and is a simple symbolic work with little emotion. Tintoretto however chose to represent the event in a surrealistic manner to give full impact; A way in which was typical of the art period in which he painted the work, the Mannerist period. The two works although essentially containing the same subject differ immensely. This difference is strongly evident through the artists contrasting use of colour, light, realism, technique perception and focal point/s.…

I consider myself to be a very open-minded, spiritual and understanding human-being. Being raised in a Baptist church, and then converting myself to Methodist at the age of fifteen gave me two different points of view when it comes to the Bible. Of my personal experience, I have noticed a few differences between the two denominations. One difference I had noticed was of course the baptism beliefs. Baptist individuals tend to wait until the person that is being baptized actually wants to be baptized and understands what it means to be baptized versus Methodist individuals who believe that new-borns should be baptized. However a similarity that the two share is the Ten Commandments and how they are viewed. This book, A Doubter’s Guide to the…

ating is a behavior that is of interest to virtually everyone. We all do it, and most of us derive great pleasure from it. But for many of us, it becomes a source of serious personal and health problems. Most eating-related health problems in industrialized nations are associated with eating too much—the average American consumes 3,800 calories per day, about twice the average daily requirement (see Kopelman, 2000). For example, it is estimated that Watch 65% of the adult U.S. popuYou Are What You Eat lation is either overweight or www.mypsychlab.com clinically obese, qualifying this problem for epidemic status (see Abelson & Kennedy, 2004; Arnold, 2009). The resulting financial and personal costs are huge. Each year in the United States, about $100 billion is spent treating obesity-related disorders (see Olshansky et al., 2005). Moreover, each year, an estimated 300,000 U.S. citizens die from disorders caused by their excessive eating (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and some cancers). Although the United States is the trend-setter when it comes to overeating and obesity, many other countries are not far behind (Sofsian, 2007). Ironically, as overeating and obesity have reached epidemic proportions, there has been a related increase in disorders…
I have faced trials and tribulations but I would like to think that I am stronger because of them. God blessed us with the gift of life and oversaw each moment of our past, including all the pain, hardship, and struggle. He plans to use our experience in a unique way because no one has our voice and no one else shares our story. This idea is particularly prevalent in Hebrews 12. The word teaches us that as a sign of His love, He disciplines us. He takes us through hardship to build certain characteristics that could not be formed from other circumstances. It would be so much easier to harbor resentment towards people that have hurt me but I have chosen to learn from my experiences and grow as a person. As author Charles R. Swindoll once said,…

The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
