screaming. The waters quickly destroyed houses, stores, cars, and people. It covered everything. It was like the videos Isaiah watched online, but only ten times worse, and in person. People in the apartment started screaming. Isaiah heard the sound of footsteps, “thump, thump, thump.” People were probably running for their lives, and warning others to run for theirs. Isaiah opened his door and went to the lobby. He looked out the window, and saw the wave. It was coming closer to the apartment. Isaiah stood there traumatized. He snapped out it when a man yelled, “RUN!”. Isaiah hurried up the stairs. As Isaiah was getting up the stairs, he looked back at the window. He could see the brown, dirty water, that had probably been collecting …show more content…
Isaiah replied. Isaiah went into his room, opened his closet, and took out his medical kit and umbrella. “Ready?” One man asked. “Yep. Let’s go.” Isaiah responded. As Isaiah and the men caught up to the crowd, the people opened the door to the roof. Everybody rushed up. The water was still filling the apartment up. Once everybody was up on the roof, it was Isaiah’s turn. “Thank you very much for saving my li- hey, aren’t you John the weather man?” Isaiah asked in surprise. “Yep. I had to come home early because of the flood warnings. Good thing for you I listened, because if I didn’t, you wouldn’t be alive.” The man explained. The men lead Isaiah up to the roof. When they got up, Isaiah saw how the people where in panic. “Help us!” People screamed out. One man brought his television up to the roof. He desperately searched for an outlet, and he found one. He quickly shoved the plug into the outlet. The television turned on. As people gathered around to see what the news had to say about the flood, Isaiah went over to the edge and leaned over. What he saw astonished him. Everywhere was covered with water. Every side Isaiah looked at was surrounded with water. The water was so high that Isaiah could touch it. This was truly amazing. He could see cars, wood, metal, other scrap parts, and… three bodies. Isaiah decided to go to the television. “Here.” Isaiah said giving the owner of the television his umbrella. “Make sure the television doesn
Noah’s family may not have been so clear regarding when the flood was coming, but they got built into the ark. The crucial thing is the building of the church and our being built into the church.
At the end of Bell Street, McKay Street, Mayo Street, there was the Flood. It was the Wawanash River, which every spring overflowed its banks. Some springs, say one in every five, it covered the roads on that side of town and washed over the fields, creating a shallow choppy take. Light reflected off the water made every- thing bright and cold, as it is in a lakeside town, and woke or revived in people certain vague hopes of disaster. Mostly during the late afternoon and early evening, there were people straggling out to took at it, and discuss whether it was still rising, and whether this time it might invade the town. In general, those under fifteen and over sixty-five were most certain that it would.
Isaiah 58:6-14 is a very powerful passage. The first bible version that I read it in was the King James Version. That version didn't really make very much sense to me because of all the "thou's" and "thee's" and "thines". So then I looked it up again in the New Revised Standard Version. It was a lot clearer when I looked it up in that bible. There are a few similarities and differences from the different versions that I read. The two that stood out the most to me was the King James Version, and the New Revised Standard Version. The differences were like night and day. Probably because they were the first two that I read, and maybe because the King James Version, like I said earlier, has a lot of the "1800's language," like "thou"
Noah and his family entered the ark as God had commanded. After seven days, the waters of the flood were over the earth. All the wellsprings of the great deep burst and the casements of the heavens were opened. (Genesis pg 32) It rained for forty
And death filled the land, Now an ocean of blood. This was just the beginning, The destruction will never end.
The storm was unbelievable. It would blister your face and put your eyes out. The dirt was steady blowing. It was a giant wall just coming towards them. There was nowhere they could run. If you tried getting out of it, it would just follow you. You can’t escape it. It was a decade long natural catastrophe of biblical proportions. The skies refused their
Isaiah takes the time to describe the beings that surround the King. He says (Verse2)
Ann states the day of the flood it had been raining all afternoon into the middle of the night. As it continued raining the water continued to get higher and higher. She states with the water levels rising, they got up in the middle of the night and went to their neighbor 's house. The neighbor 's house was a two story house and the family felt they would be safer there with the rising waters. Ann says they spent the whole rest of the night at the neighbor 's home as it continued to rain through the night. The next day the water was all the way up not quite to the second story yet.
Finally, he arrived. As soon as he entered the building, he saw the “Out of Order” sign on the elevator. He raced up the stairs and made it into the room just in time.
“Ben! Look! The weather is clearing up! We should go outside and stomp around in the puddles!” she
Mrs. Blakeney (MHS) describe Isaiah as reserved and respectful. Isaiah had reports of positive interactions with peers and adults in the home and community.
“As they ate, the water crept up and up. Al gulped his food and he and Pa built the platform. Five feet wide, six feet long, four feet above the floor. And the water crept to the edge of the doorway, seemed to hesitate a long time, and then moved slowly inward over the floor. And outside, the rain began again, as it had before, big heavy drops splashing on the water, pounding hollowly on the roof.” (611)
Isaiah’s own children’s names were prophetically significant, meaning that these names highlighted the short and long-term agenda God had in place even at its foundation. E.g. the name “Shear-Jashub” meant: “A remnant would return.” Similar to the New Testament’s name for Christ being Emanuel: “God is with us”.
Isaiah came during a pivotal time in history. The world was changing rapidly and life was on the edge of prosperity and ruin, as it is today. In this uncertain time Isaiah was called by God to deliver a message of warning, comfort, and deliverance. Christians view the prophecies of Isaiah as a projection of the coming of Jesus Christ. Isaiah spoke of divine judgment and the promises of God through the Prince of Peace. Isaiah’s message of the future King was very meticulous. He describes how Christ will come, Christ’s character and Christ’s purpose. In this paper I will dissect Isaiah’s prophecies in the Old Testament and reference them to the events of Christ in the New Testament.
As Isaiah and the people waited, Isaiah thought about all of those people who lost their homes from the flood. One hundred thousand homes destroyed. St. Louis had lost so much, and Isaiah could clearly see with his own eyes, that his apartment was one of the only buildings standing. Isaiah could barely see anything except for water, remains and rubble floating at the top. Isaiah could also see the destroyed levee. As Isaiah continued to look at the water, he heard a sound from the distance. “Vrrrrrrrr”. Isaiah didn’t know exactly what it was, but when he heard everyone begin to cheer, he knew what it was. It was a helicopter.
