around a bar beach prophet Jero who pretends to be a true prophet but in the actual sense‚ he is a cheat‚ a rogue‚ and in fact the devil’s incarnate. As the play unfolds Soyinka presents prophet Jero as a representative of hypocritical religious and political leader. He presents him in a humors and comical way that we see through the front of the holy hermit which he put on for the benefit of his deluded worshippers. The wrong mentality or orientation of some so called prophet is brought to the

Version(NKJV)‚ New International Version(NIV)‚ Webster’s Bible. I read the King James Version because that is the version that we study at bible study and the version we are taught from on Sundays. This version has had the least amount of change from its Hebrew beginnings. I believe that these verses from Isaiah are telling us that when war and destruction have almost destroyed the earth many people will seek out peace and will go up to the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem and will learn from the Lords

this Christian religion just keeps on growing. Mormons believe that the heavenly father (God) and Jesus Christ lead the church through revelations given to the President or present day prophet. They also believe that a man named Joseph Smith translated a sacred book called the Book of Mormon. With a living day prophet and this extra book of scriptures‚ they believe that their church is the most correct one in the world today. I was able to interview my wife and father in law regarding some questions

Noah’s Pudding Prophets have a vital role to convey religion from God to people‚ and they help believers to find the true path. God sent thousands of prophets to Earth‚ so he didn’t want to give free rein to societies. They made a profound impact on cultures. In Turkish culture‚ children grow up with the tales of prophets. Each prophet is identified with different things in child’s minds: Noah(pbuh) with flood‚ Abraham(pbuh) with fire‚ Jonah(pbuh) with fish‚ and Moses(pbuh) with Red Sea. Noah‚ who

It was written between the years of about 600 and 587B.C.E. "Habakkuk was a cult prophet; he raised doubts about divine justice and God’s treatment of the wicked" (Jerome 261). "These were hard times for Habakkuk’s people. It was times of war in which his people were being invaded by the Assyrians‚ during the kingdom of Judah". "The interesting thing about the eighth minor prophet Habakkuk is that he is the only prophet to ask God WHY". "All his questions start with why except his first question "How

The nature of his experience‚ incommunicable‚ indistinct‚ defies translation‚ unlike that of a prophet‚ who conveys a clear message. The unio mystica is a profoundly personal emotion‚ but once felt it can no longer be forgotten or denied. To the outsider‚ however‚ the result of this radical transformation appears akin to madness. The mystic claims to be above authority‚ he seeks to establish
