Eschatology

Heaven is a place of glory and a reward for the good deeds that you have done in your mortal life. Hell is a place of anguish and torture for the bad deeds you had done in your mortal life. Judgment day is the Day of Judgment like it says in the word but on that day you will be judged on your life and will either end up in one of the three heavens or if you still chose not to believe after everything you will be stuck in hell or the burning lake of fire. Mormonism do believe in the afterlife or

The Rapture The word "rapture" derived from Paul's "caught up" remark in verse 17. The words "caught up" are translated from the Greek word harpazo, which means "to carry off," "snatch up," or "grasp hastily." The translation from harpazo to "rapture" involved two steps: first, harpazo became the Latin word raptus; second, raptus became the English word "rapture" (Rapture. Web. 05 Dec. 2015.). On the subject of the timing of these events, in my study and research I found many scriptures that give

The fact that there exist various narratives concerning the topic of apocalypse invites the notion that there is a great number of people desiring the end of the world. Why would somebody be desirous of terminating the world's existence? Despite the fact that the end of the world has a dark, uncanny, irredeemably, and desperate tone to it, one has to consider its consequences. Therefore, the evangelical protestantism belief in the rapture offers a solution to the otherwise unsatisfactory or even

Revelation is the last and final book in the Bible, stating the future second coming of Christ. Written by the apostle John, it gives a detailed account of what times will be like when Christ returns. It is written in an apocalyptic manner. There are four main views when interpreting Revelation. Scholars have scriptural evidence supporting each viewpoint but since interpretation is highly subjective there cannot be ultimately one accepted viewpoint as correct. The four debated viewpoints are the

“Revelation” translates Greek term apokalypsis, which means “an uncovering, an unveiling, a stripping naked of what was formerly covered” (Harris, 2014, p. 431). An apocalypse is something that is unforeseen or previously hidden. Revelations is a great example of an apocalypse because according to the author it is a vision of God’s future intentions and in some cases, it includes what is known as supernatural beings, angels, and demons as well. Revelations symbolizes the battle between good and evil

The beginning of a new era for Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens - the start of a new book. Book the Second, or Birds of a Feather, must refer to the beginning/continuation of people coming together. In my opinion, this is class levels criss-crossing paths in new ways. These crossed paths probably will come from the deaths/murders (John and Gaffer, among others) as classes connected to each will be forced into eclectic situations. As for Chapters 1, 2, and 3 of Book the Second, I was fond of the

Roman Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Lutherans and reformed Christians are denominations that believe there will be a rapture where Christ will be returning for his second coming. The rapture is not mentioned in the bible but in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 1 Corinthians 15:50-54. “Believers who have died will have their bodies resurrected and, along with believers who are still living, will meet the Lord in the air.” This theory is based on scriptures in the bible. Many believers believe that all non-believers

Yeats use multiple biblical allusions to illustrate his dread of the future. Yeats uses multiple biblical allusions to illustrate the reappearance of Christ. Lines 4-6 contains two allusions the first one is when he uses the word “anarchy” calls to mind the reign of Satan on earth before Christ comes back, but it also brings to mind the biblical floods. Yeats also spans the entire length of the bible in the lines, from genesis the flood to revelation. Yeats view is more violent than the bible. Another

The Mark of the Beast is coming; at least that’s what the scriptures tell us. According to the bible in the book of Revelations, chapter 14 contains a prophecy that will affect myself and every other person on earth. The scripture states: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark in the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink the wine of Gods fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.” Revelation 14:9,10. In other words, if you worship the beast

THE COMING, which from the title sounds like a horror movie is actually one about morality and non denominational faith. It follows Devon, a half Native American 20 something with remarkable abilities which had emerged at a young age because he was able to let go of fear, anger, hatred and greed and become more evolved. He is “The Brother” in THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET, without actually being an alien. While addressing the nature of faith, THE COMING also touches on environmental concerns, Native
