The First Way Rebeka Suffer
The first way Rebeka suffered for this was by losing her favorite son to a different country for many years because of Esau's murderous rage Genesis 27:41-46. Rebeka thought it would only be for a few days and it wound up lasting more than 21 years, the second way was Rebeka was not able to be present for Jacob's marriage, which took place while he was gone, she was not able to be present to see the birth of Jacob's children, which were either born while Jacob was away or after Rebeka's death. Also, both Rebeka and Isaac were tormented by the fact that Esau married Canaanite women Gen.27:46-28:9. Another way Rebeka suffered was to never see Jacob again after he left for

    Rebecca's Revival Summary

    • 1085 Words

    From a life of slavery to a life of mission, Rebecca’s Revival follows a Caribbean woman of the island of St. Thomas during the eighteenth century. From conversion to evangelism, slavery to freedom, and marriage to missionary, Rebecca’s extraordinary journey is described by Jon Sensbach with a thoughtful, encompassing and thorough approach. Sensbach also utilizes such historical sources as reports and letters, travel diaries and meeting minutes, to a varied collection of historical and primary sources. Structurally, Sensbach leaves the reader with little in the way of speculation as he organizes his bibliographical entry by both source and place. He also factually presents the surprising, and heretical, views of the Moravian religion and their…

    Genesis 25 is primarily written in prose, but God’s words to Rebekah in poetic form about her pregnancy emphasize the importance of what He is saying to her and the fate of her sons. The poem reads, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger” (Gen. 25:23). God has foretold that the two brothers will have numerous descendants that are able to form two nations, but he does not explain why they will be in conflict. As is common in the Bible, the younger son achieves superiority over his elder brother. There is an odd choice of words in this poem though. By saying that Esau will “serve” Jacob it implies that he will forever be in his shadow, however they are separated for many years and Esau was never submissive toward Jacob. Nonetheless, God’s words to her about her sons could explain why Rebekah favored Jacob and why she helped him deceive Isaac. The favoritism Jacob and Esau’s parents show also has a great significance on how their lives will transpire.…

    Lydia's Abuse

    On page 174, Rosie’s mother Lydia stated, “How dare you! You think he would do that to you? You think he would pick you, when you’re the ugliest? He can pick any of your sisters who are ways prettier than you! Huh? Fucking liar!” I was shocked by Lydia. How come can she say such words to a twelve years old girl? At that time, Rosie was just a little girl who needs to take care of carefully. Whereas, Lydia as her mother, did not take any responsibilities, and always abused her. Now, when her daughter was harassed, she never comforted Rosie, and even hurt Rosie by abusing her ugly. That was not a wise behavior for a mother. On page 157, Rosie stated, “Refusing defeat, I started to work for the first time, doing yard work, cleaning out garages,…

    In reading “Ragnarok The Day The Gods Die” by Randall Kenan it talks about God, marital affairs, jealousy, and resentfulness. The preacher in this story Barden is jealous of the relationship that his wife Sarah has with God. The question that is raised in my mind is it because he has fallen by the wayside of his belief in God, by having an affair with someone within his flock? Had the affair begun once Sarah at age thirty-three started having women problems? Sarah couldn’t no longer give Barden any children other than the one son that they already had, before the problems started with her reproductively. Many would think as they read this story that Barden was very resentful against Sarah. Back then in those days women were looked at as broken if they couldn’t give their husbands what they wanted. Which many of the men then wanted a number of children. With further reading I asked myself a multiple of times did Barden marry Sarah for all of the wrong reasons? Because in the story says “He sees her cooler, now resigned, now more a saint than a woman, less a wife than a helpmeet.” So was the only thing that Sarah was good for was cooking, cleaning, and raising their son Carl.…

    Ophelia's Suicide

    • 158 Words
    • 1 Page

    Gertrude's use of vivid imagery in her telling of Ophelia's demise provides a picture of the events that took place. Through this imagery she assigns agency to seemingly innocent objects in nature, such as the weeping willow and the envious sliver, and takes the blame away from Ophelia, thus leading Laertes to truly believe this was a suicide. While she does not receive a true Christian burial, Gertrude is successful in keeping Laertes calm; no one but nature is to blame for the death of Ophelia in his eyes. Gertrude's need to tell the death in the manner of which she did is perfectly logical. Had Laertes believed otherwise his reaction could have lead to more trouble for the King and Queen. By placing the blame away from Claudius, Hamlet,…

    Ophelia's Downfall

    • 1051 Words
    • 5 Pages

    1. What might have led to Ophelia’s downfall was that she intentionally killed herself to maybe save herself from any further shame that would fall upon her because she has been dishonored by Hamlet and she might be possibly “with child” and also to the loss of her father. In Act 1 Scene 3 pg.45, Ophelia tells her father that Hamlet has proclaimed his love to her, and then in Act 2 Scene 1 pg.79, she tells him that Hamlet has gone crazy and was acting as such when he entered her room all disheveled. In Act 3 Scene 1 pg.131, Hamlet had blown up on Ophelia and telling her that she is a whore and that she needed to get herself to a nunnery. Yelling at her and dishonoring her by that which she was being called. She was also being confused and slightly dishonored by Hamlet when they were watching the play in Act 3 Scene2 pg. 143. The last straw was when Hamlet had killed her father, the only person who had been there for her and seemed to be helping her.…

    Ophelia's Suicide

    • 2496 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Romanticized by modern females, downplayed by literary critics and somewhat overlooked by the general public, the character of Ophelia in “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” offers the reader a tantalizing mystery - did Ophelia truly commit suicide? Bear in mind that in the deeply religious culture that was the basis for the inception of Hamlet, suicide was a mortal sin, bearing with it the consequence of eternal punishment and damnation, burial in unconsecrated ground and shame to be forever associated with the deceased. Or, perhaps, was Ophelia’s death an accident, or a murder?…
