Some of these words evoke very strong emotions. The word "reverence" makes me imagine a crowd of worshipping masses, as it means "feelings of deep respect or devotion" ("Reverence"). This is a rather obvious conclusion to draw, as the poem at its heart is very much about God's stature. One can assume that the preacher is probably not one to criticize God, given his profession, and thus the praise heaped upon God by the narrator is appropriate.

1. The central vision of Revelation is found in chapters 4-5. (a) What is the

John, the proclaimed author of the Book of Revelation, writes intricately about the events that will transpire when the end of the world has come. John expresses messages to seven churches, heaven’s activities, and the Lamb opening seven seals. He depicts the consequences following the sounding of seven trumpets and the pouring of seven bowls. John mentions numerous times that humans will be judged at the throne for their actions. He stresses the penalties of humans who will not proceed to heaven, but will instead die a second death. He describes heaven’s wondrous beauty, and how Jesus himself, promising he will return to Earth soon, verifies that these words are true.

Chapter one is a survey of modern scholarly literature related to the theme of worship in the Apocalypse. It is divides into four subtopics; A) The theme of worship as a whole, B) The hymns in the Apocalypse, C) Revelation 4-5, D) Additional worship scenes.

Early in the poem, Jarman points out the “sermon’s trenchant commentary on the world’s ills” (2-3), illustrating a mutilation of the connectedness of the congregation focusing instead on the very real but nonetheless generic ills of the world. Furthermore, the phrase “hand-wringing” (4) seems to describe the shaking of hands as the congregation members greet each other with the peace of Christ, again listing the routine of the congregation. Although, it appears to be more inclined towards a description of a helpless, passive anxiety that corresponds well with a sermon designed to impose guilt without inspiring action. Jarman goes on to compare the persistent nature of sin even in moments of peace with “motes of dust ride, clinging” (8). In this line, Jarman suggests that the congregation is sinful even after all the doctrinal procedure done to become clean from sin. Even the structure of the octave suggests a conventional and never changing sonnet form with 14 lines, a perfect Italian rhyming scheme, and a fascinating iambic pentameter alone, that inspires nothing more than an

The Great Hymn to the Aten is about the god Aten in Egypt. The beginning of the hymn is praising how great Aten is and how the Egyptian people wanted to serve their god. Their god being King Akhenaten, who they praised for the ways he changed Egyptian religion. Akhenaten was loved and worshiped by his people and was said to be the sun. When he was not in the world or seen, like night time, the world became unbearably miserable and awful, but returned to perfection when he made his presence known to his people, like the sun rising.

Worship comes in different forms depending on how the church wants the service to proceed. For the Amazing Grace Church, the service began with the congregation singing a number of worship songs to the Lord that lasted for about an hour. Christian praise and worship by music, and in fact, music is a great tool for helping them feel closer to God. Music is an emotional language because it effectively affects their emotions and the lyrics can swell their hearts. There is nothing bigger and greater than the grace of God that is delivered to them from condemnation through the sacrifice of his own Son. Thus, Christian chooses to praise and worship Him by singing. While singing, the congregation stands on their feet and they seem to be affected by the songs in some way as they raise their hands as a sign of accepting the Lord into their hearts. The emotion that was thrown from the congregation was very distinctive to us as we could see that the songs are an important tool of expression. According to the pastor of the Amazing Grace Church, singing let the people focus on the worship, helps them respond to God’s grace and also guide them to reflect on God’s glory. In his opinion, singing mean nothing if people do not respond to what they have sang and related it to God and reflect it to make them better believers.

Revelation 3:14-22 starts with John’s presentation of Jesus’s judgements and anger toward a spiritually indifferent community. The chapter is constructed of various letters that were written to address issues in churches throughout the land. A key idea that is introduced in Revelation 3:18 is that God desires people to “buy from me gold refined from the fire” so that they may become rich. The believers of Laodicea were affluent, but blind to their spiritual needs and had become apathetic. God’s act of rejecting them is a result of prosperity that was given and the self-deception that was given into.2 God’s desire to have them next to him was shown by his grace and the opportunity to rise from their sins to sit next to their King.

     Finally we see that God is His own ruler. “And when the Lord said in His heart, ‘I will never again curse the ground because of humankind, for the inclination of the human heart is evil from youth; nor will I ever again destroy every living creature as I have done’...”(8:21) Here God is speaking to himself, laying down the rules that he will follow and abide by.

The book of Daniel and the Revelation are counterparts of each other. They should be studied together as to get the whole picture of God’s redemptive plan, world’s history, the future of the world, God’s victory over evil at the end of the world, and a glimpse into the new heaven and the new earth. Even if these two books are different, many parts of the books talk about the same event of world’s history in which we are about to find out. In this essay, I will show how the book of Daniel is related to Revelation and then how John uses the imagery of Daniel. First of all, let us look at the introduction to the books of Daniel and Revelation. I will

This essay will argue that the eschatology of the Book of Revelation forms an integral part of John’s attempt within the pages of his book to form a literary world in which the forms, figures, and forces of the earthly realm are critiqued and unmasked through the re-focalization of existence from the perspective of heaven. It will attempt to show that, in response to the social, political, religious, and economic circumstances of his readers, the Book of Revelation forms a counter imaginative reality. Through drawing upon an inaugurated sense of eschatology and evocative imagery, John is able to pull the reader in and show them the true face of the imperial world and consequences of its ideology, forcing the reader allegiance to fall

If we were to picture an animal in creation that would bring to mind the idea’s of innocence, helplessness, endearment and affection, one might choose a lamb. God has chosen the lamb to represent mankind as well as reveal the sacrifice of His Son. William Blake, in his poem titled “The Lamb,” uses the symbol of the lamb to show how the Creator is revealed as the Lamb to a lamb and how mankind is like a lamb that He might see his need for the “Good Shepherd.” (John 10:11) The narrator begins by compassionately asking the lamb to reflect upon his own life and existence as though the lamb himself were a conscious animal who could contemplate his own existence.

The Bell Jar brings out the story of a young woman and her struggle through childhood to maturity in a foreign country, America, in the early 1950’s. Across the story several themes are manifested some of which will form the central point of this essay. Esther experiences growth seasoned with pain which drives her to the point of committing suicide, however she finally recovers from her suicide attempt, a point at which she takes a new perspective of life and chooses to aspire to survive. Her struggles and triumphs bring her out as a hero rather than just a normal success case. However, she experiences a strong desire to die from which she gradually walks back to sanity in a dignified way.
