The Five Themes Of Revelation
The “already/not yet” in Revelation is referring to how Jesus Christ was the first coming and now the age is waiting for the “Parousia” and eternal state to be fulfilled. John dramatizes this part in revelation by using five themes. The five themes included “Christians rule Now but not on earth”, “The great tribulation has begun but not complete”, “The antichrist has arrived but is not yet fully revealed”, “The fall of Jerusalem is the backdrop for the future fall of Rome”, and “Satan has been defeated, but not yet banished”. These five themes focused on specific parts of the second coming of Jesus Christ. We are still is the “already/ not yet” phase of

    Sermon In The Mount Analysis

    The Sermon in the Mount delivered by Jesus defines the important values of Religion. As the founder of Christian religion, Jesus, in his sermon, presented the evidences of ethics behavior of Christians, which are forgiveness, humility, Justice, love and perseverance. Agreeing to Jesus’ sermon, forgiveness must characterize Christians. In fact, Christian must forgive at the level of accepting a recidivist behavior. According to Jesus “If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also”. In addition humility is a requirement of Christians. Christians prove their humility by asking forgiveness even if they did not offense someone. As Jesus declared, if “your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front…

    Revelation 4: The Symbolism Of The Rapture

    “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…

    Literary Analysis on Revelation

    Flannery O’Connor short story entitled “Revelation” was swayed by her personal upbringing in the South. She lived in the time where people from the South were very intolerant and narrow-minded towards people who had a different lifestyle and who were of a different race. Because Southerners believed people who did not live up to their wealth or status were inferior, it offered O’Connor the exact descriptions she wanted for the characters in this story.…

    Colonial political arrangements were not as strong as Europeans. Europeans had hierarchies and these aristocrats claimed many privileges.

The colonial politics were not based on material items or social rankings.…

    The Second Great Awakening

    In the early to mid 1800s, change grasped America in a way that it only had once before; another religious revival. The Second Great Awakening was a tidal wave of spirituality that quickly revolutionized America. While the first Great Awakening renewed interest in religion, the Second Great Awakening introduced new and original theology. Though, both Great Awakenings widened boundaries between classes and regions. Denominations were conceived based on personal beliefs like woman’s rights, slavery, and whether or not alcohol is acceptable. Liberalism became a vast part of everyday life as people decided that it was time to express their beliefs. The Second Great Awakening accelerated change through contemporary religions, higher education, and general culture.…

    The Great Tribulation Rapture

    The Rapture of the church is not to be confused with the Second Coming of Jesus. Let's review real quickly here the viewpoint of a Pre-Tribulation rapture. The Second Coming will be when Jesus returns to the Earth to defeat the antichrist, and to establish the Millennial Kingdom. The Second Coming of Jesus will occur after the Great Tribulation, as seen in Revelation chapters 6-9. The Second Coming is for the removal of the unbelievers, and it will be visible to everyone, unlike the Rapture, which will be secret, and instantaneous. Several end time events have to take place before the Second Coming occurs. Biblical prophecies serve to remind us to always be spiritually ready. At the Rapture, believers will meet Jesus in the air, and there…

    The Great Awakening

    For us to see the significance of the religious revivals known as the “Great Awakening,” we need to take a brief glance as to what caused it to happen. Going back into the 17th century, we will notice that fighting has ceased between political and religious leaders. This is due to the fact that the Church of England has come to establish a State religion. As a result of an establishment of a State religion, other religions such as Catholicism, Judaism and Puritanism were repressed. While having a State religion is a good idea for the political leaders, it created a dry, boring and complacent attitude among the citizens. Worshipping now became just an act. Going through the motions of worshipping, but not actually coming from the heart. This brings us to the spark of the “First Great Awakening,” which was the first of colonial America’s major religious revivals.…

    The Visions of Ezekiel

    God choses whomever He wants to give His messages to His people. In the Old Testament, God chose very specific people to give His message to Israel. Ezekiel, was a great man of God and very faithful to Him. The messages he received from God were intense and different than other prophets of Israel. The Lord allowed Ezekiel to have visions of which he traveled through, and heard the voice of the Lord. Ezekiel was obedient to the visions and listened to God’s voice and what He instructed him to do, no matter what the consequence was or how strange, terrifying, weird the message may have been for Israel. These visions can even be applied today in the modern day church and show how much God loves His people despite repetitive sin.…
