Research Paper On Tabernacles

“[Fijian] camp is like nothing else. Being able to experience a little get together called devotion, which is a pre meeting service just before we have breakfast and before we have dinner.”

Everyone has a set of values and something that represents their values. One could call that representation of values their own personal tabernacle. My personal tabernacle is the woods. Ever since I was a child I would spend large quantities of time in the woods, eventually I came to view the woods as my personal tabernacle.

For this assignment, we had to attend a meeting of a spiritual tradition that is not our own. As this assignment's due date approached, I became very anxious! I didn’t quite know where I wanted to go. In my sewing class one day my friend, Kelly Jorgensen, had asked if I had finished the assignment. I had not. “Me and Karlie Mortensen are going to the Baptist church over by Riverton Hospital this Sunday at 6:00 PM if you want to join us” she offered. I found this rather funny. The day before, as I was driving home from work, the Harvest Valley Baptist Church sign had caught my eye. I thought to myself that I should

Fifteen years ago, terror touched American soil writing in our memories with indelible ink a sequence of numbers – 911. Four short of 3,000 perished that day; but one survivor, the last survivor to be pulled before the complete collapse of the World Trade Center’s North tower, shared a miracle that changed her life completely. This woman, a member from the Brooklyn Tabernacle, shared her testimony at my friend’s church in Bermuda. She along with fourteen other co-workers, reached the thirteenth floor before the building collapsed on them. During the 27 hours she laid trapped, she cried out to God, telling Him that if He gave her another chance, she would turn her life around and live for Him. As she was just about to give up, a hand grabbed

Christianity and Wicca (Paganism/Neo-Paganism), what do you know about these two religions? When I was growing up I believed in the Christian beliefs; however I now practice Wicca. Look closely at the Christian religion and notice how similar it is to Wicca. Although denied by most Christians the similarities are there because “Christianity began in the middle of Pagan culture” (Kane, p. 12). Is the origin of Christianity based on ancient Pagan beliefs or is it wholly original?

The significance of the Tabernacle is God told Israel to build a tent like structure known as the Tabernacle (Varughese, 2006, p.84). The Tabernacle had three parts: the court, the holy place, and the holy of holies. The court section was meant for the altar where sacrifices were given. The holy place was a section that not everyone could have access to only people of the priesthood. The holy of holies section of the Tabernacle had the ark of covenant inside. Which contained the tablets that the commandments were written on.

Everybody that works with freaks becomes a suspect. Scully and Mulder approach the “Tabernacle of Terror”. The dark room covered with dusk, the light only entering in from the entrance and exit. The art manager was working at his workbench on a head with a screaming face. He is killed in his storage room by a slithering figure with the face of a monster. Blood is everywhere. Each time a murder occurs they make you believe that the freaks are responsible. They set the scene in a frightening space to pull the view in and make you think it must be the freaks. What this is saying is that even if you work in a horrible place such as the “Tabernacle of Terror” that it doesn’t make you a terrifying person. That often people who look different are

: The structures that make up the Temple of Heaven are meant to signify the relationship between heaven and earth, more importantly the connection between the emperors and God. The through in It was believed that offerings made by the emperor to the Gods, would bring a flourishing harvests, as he was believed to be the closest being to god. The structure itself was built so majestically to represent it descending into heaven. The main ceremonies that were held within the hall were all on the basis of worshipping heaven and so it was believed by doing so, it would be seen as favorable to the gods, enough to be blessed with an abundance supply of harvests such as grain. The ceremonial interior of the hall was built in such a way as to emphasize

I was the only camper in the entire camp; the busses from Chicago didn’t arrive until three in the afternoon. My counselors took me with them to the mess hall where all of these girls on staff were in their Uggs sweatpants and sweatshirts eating breakfast. It’s June, who wears ugg boots in the summer? After hours of sitting on my cold hard mattress on the top bunk, as I wasn’t allowed to unpack until the rest of my cabin arrived, there was an announcement, “Attention all campers and counselors RUN RUN RUN to the top of the hill the busses are almost here!!” I had never seen a more excited group of people in my entire life and I had no clue why. I get to the top of the hill where the counselors are singing at the top of their lungs “we welcome you to Chippewa were mighty glad you’re here” the girls started filing out of the three huge coach busses and tons of hugs were exchanged. There were tears of joy along with sad tears, many squeals and overall just an indescribable vibe. We all made our way to the center fire circle where cabins were announced. I was in the first cabin, the youngest cabin. I gathered with my soon to be best friends and walked back to my cabin. I was looking around, these girls had just spent 6 hours together on the bus and they know each other from home. Are they going to hate me? How do I make friends? These were

No matter where summer afternoons are a drag and scorching. The adults tried to suggest activities to participate in. My cousins and I grew frustrated with swimming and ice cream every day, so we decided to explore. Being at my grandmother’s house, near a prairie we were limited to explorations sites. Robert, my youngest cousin by a couple of days, claimed he knew the best spot we could visit. It was far off and we knew our parents wouldn’t approve so we decided to lie and say we were headed to a cousin’s house that lived near by.

The ancient tabernacle of Moses was a sacred and holy place for the people of Israel. It served as a tool for the people to remember God and to look forward to their promised Messiah. The tabernacle was so integral to the lives of the Israelites that they even built the tabernacle in the center of their encampments during their journeys (Yom Kippur). The tabernacle also served many purposes for the Israelites in their rituals, ceremonies, and beliefs of their religion. Many practices that the ancient Israelites performed in and for the tabernacle anciently, may seem peculiar to the modern thought process or many beliefs today. The main focus of the tabernacle was the day of Yom Kippur, or Day of Atonement. On this day, the Israelites would gather and watch as a high priest performed the rituals in the tabernacle that would rid the sins of the people of Israel. This day and ceremony was a very important aspect to Israelites’ beliefs and the tabernacle was the main tool for their ceremonies. The tabernacle and the day of Yom Kippur served many purposes in helping the Israelites to remember their God, learn from symbols, and to help them strive to obey their God’s commandments.

The New Testament is a collection of books which contains the writings concerning the significant events in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. These books appeared after the physical death of Jesus Christ. In this regard, Jesus had left no records concerning him, and all that is written about him depends wholly on what other people have written about him. The first four books of the New Testament are part of the several biographies of Jesus which were written by the end of the first century of the era of Christianity. Then before any of these biographies have been drafted, there were Christian communities which were being instructed through epistles on how to live like Jesus and how to solve their problem like Christians. A good number of these letters were written by a man called Paul. After Paul death, some other new leaders of the Christian movement continued to write letters to the churches to encourage and strengthen them. As Christians grew in number persecution arose, and some letters have been drafted to support them and also to counter the false doctrines. These letters are part of the New Testament. The twenty-seven books of the New Testament were selected from the list of writings in that period (Bruce, 1988)

Upon arrival, our first activity was to work in the trailer park. While these people were not homeless, they were in quite severe poverty. However, they were nothing like one may expect. One was a very friendly older woman who had worked and gone to college in her younger days but she had been abducted and hurt severely in her twenties. Even though that happen, she was cheerful and had poetic talents. Another was a family whose screen door we replaced because they could not afford a new one. The father was hard working and was made sure all of his children had an education and a roof over their head while the mother cooked and cleaned. Each was doing their part to make the best of their lives. The last was a middle aged couple who needed their trailer badly cleaned. They not only were thankful but they prayed over our group before we left. We a blessing to each of their lives but, they were to ours as
