Ezekiel 8 Analysis
Ezekiel was transported in the spirit and describes the experience in Ezekiel 8. He was moved from his dwelling place outside Israel during the captivity and taken some distance to Jerusalem. Phillip experienced a similar thing after baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:39). Paul described his trip to heaven, confessing he didn’t know if he was there only in the spirit or in his physical body. (2 Cor. 12:2)
While friends were interceding for Peter, he was mysteriously freed by an angel. It’s obvious he didn’t know if it was a vision or an experience in the natural (Acts 12:8-10) After traveling through a gate, which opened by itself, he arrived at home. Someone made the comment that it wasn’t Peter, but his angel, which begs the question

He appeared walking on water. (Matt.14:25) He disappeared after talking with the the two disciples he met on the road to Emmaus and re-appeared to a different group shortly after. (Luke 24:31-36) He appeared to the disciples again in a room where the doors were closed, which seems to imply he either walked through a wall or materialized before them. (John 20:26) Jesus also made a fascinating comment about the fact that we would do the things he did; “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12)
There’s plenty of scriptural backing behind transportation in the spirit. One could even argue that Jesus wanted us to do the very things he did and more. But some stumble at these ideas. The word says ‘to those who believe, all things are possible’. There will be times in the days ahead, where I believe this will be how the majority of ministry will be done. God will send you places not by your own power or might, but through His Spirit. It has been prophesied that in the last days, Christians will no longer use normal modes of transportation, but will be translated and transported across the world. Get ready to

    2 Samuel 1-10 Analysis

    • 677 Words
    • 3 Pages

    1 Samuel 31, 2 Samuel 1-10 – First Samuel ends with Saul’s death. Rather than facing the torment of the Philistines, he falls on his own sword, but the first chapter of 2 Samuel gives a different account. An Amalekite reports to David that he killed Saul after Saul asked him to run him through with the sword. Either way, Saul is now dead, and David is made king of Judah, while Ishbaal (Saul’s son) supposedly reigns over the rest of Israel. Abner supports Ishbaal at first, but after having been accused of sleeping with one of Saul’s concubines, Abner turns to support David. Before he can do anything to help David’s conquest, Abner is killed by Joab (commander of David’s forces) for killing Joab’s brother Asahel. Ishbaal is also assassinated by Rechab and Baanah, who are apparently motivated by the thought of reward from David for their service, but they are killed by David as a result. With no other leader to turn to, the rest of Israel accepts David as their king at Hebron. After that, David enjoys much military success against the enemies of Israel (Philistines, Moabites, Edomites,…

    One of the comments that I was most interested in when reading the Crime chapter in Solomon’s Far from the Tree book, was the mention of three grand risk factors influence the creation of a criminal. A single-parent family since it might increase the probability of them having a low socioeconomic status. This later translates to a high chance at their child dropping out of school, not attending college, working low paying jobs, becoming substance abusers, and later on becoming single parents as well. Abuse and neglect, which often leads the child towards two paths. One includes depression and self-pity, since they see the world as an unsafe place. The other path is the one in which we would be interested since if influences the child to be aggressive and indulge in criminal behavior since they see the world as a war zone in which they need to fight in order to survive. The third factor is exposure to violence. Living in an aggressive household…

    Essentially, the question posed is asking what our personal Christian counseling view is using Psalm 8 and 139. First, the Psalms tell me that God knows me in every way. He knows my every thought, action, and emotion even before I do. In fact, He knew these before He created me (Psalm 139, ESV). This is more than the human mind can truly understand.…

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    A healthy church will preach the gospel to poor as well as the rich. Luke 4:18-19 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Jesus said, “Whosoever will let him come.” The mission of Christ will be accomplished locally, regionally, nationally, and globally by members within the local body by missionaries. The members will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon…

    In "Song of Solomon" the women take somewhat of a backseat compared to the men. There are plenty of strong and important female characters in this work but they become disposable to the men. For example Macon Dead II loved the thrill of taking off Ruth's shoes and stocking but as time passed he simply hated her and wasn't afraid to hit her either. From Ruth's perspective she just craved loved and wanted someone to fill her void since he husband would no longer show her an ounce of appreciation. Ruth then decided that Milkman would be her champion and she would love him and hopefully that love would be reciprocated and this relationship would eventually lead her to breastfeeding Milkman even when he was too old for it and thus him receiving…

    One of the greatest privileges of the Christian life is to go and proclaim the gospel to every nation, tribe, and tongue (Rev. 7:9). It is the task and duty of every believer to share Christ. When Jesus gave the Great Commission to the disciples, He said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matt. 28:19). The task of sharing the gospel can be done in one’s own community, workplace, or with family. However, in order to fulfill the Great Commission, Christians must go to every nation, tribe, and tongue to fulfill the task of reaching the world for Christ.…

    Sadly, the truth about what Jesus was really like, or even if he existed is yet to be known. The four canonical gospels, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John do help provide us with a good image of him, albeit each one depicts a slightly different version through differing accounts. However, there are still similarities between the four, such as certain characteristics portraying the encounter with resurrected Jesus, as well as how Jesus himself is depicted after…

    I feel the New Testament is the living story of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ; this is why Christians need to read it in order to get an understanding about whom Christ Jesus really is and his message of eternal life. The New Testament provides an rich amount of information about Jesus’s life, teachings, and his crucifixion. The New Testament also gives a practical understanding into Jesus the man, what he was and is like, and how he responded to a wide array of conditions. In my opinion, there is no other book written by man, which can provide the revelation, insight, and knowledge about Christ Jesus.…
