The prophet Jeremiah lived during the most critical period of Judah's existence. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem. God’s declared that my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Therefore, I will, I cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets in Jerusalem, the voice in gladness and the voice in joy for the land shall become a desert. Jeremiah had continually warned God’s people to mend their ways before it was too late. And when the devastation finally overwhelmed Israel, he was the one who mourned Israel's terrible fate.

Luke the Evangelist is quoted saying, “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” My door opened specifically at the age of five. When I was young, I was consistently at the doctor’s office or the hospital or the ER. The medical history is colorful and still progressing. However, the sicknesses I endured have assisted in shaping my personality and outlook as well as given insight on my future plans.

At the beginning of time, God created mankind, creatures made in his own image, with whom He could have relationship with. Unfortunately, the original humans, Adam and Eve, shattered this relationship by turning away from God and sinning, putting themselves before Him. All of the descendants of Adam and Eve, mankind itself, have and continue to suffer from the repercussions of this Original Sin. Ever since that time, thousands of years ago, God has been working through human history in order to repair His relationship with Humanity, redeeming them from the effects of sin. His plan of salvation began with a covenant He made with a nomad named Abraham, whose descendants became the nation of Israel. This covenant established the Lord's intentions to bring about redemption for humanity through the nation of Israel. Sadly though, the ancient Israelites time and again were unfaithful to their covenant with God, and would worship the false idols of the nations around them. Because of their sin of apostasy, the nation of Israel eventually split in two, and was then wiped out by foreign invaders, sending in the Hebrew people into exile. It was during this exile that the Prophets, men who would speak on behalf of God, began to predict the coming of the Messiah, an 'anointed one' of

“Methuselah, like me, is a cripple; the Wreck of Wild Africa... He has no muscle tone in his wings. They are atrophied, probably beyond hope of recovery.” (Adah, p. 137) Methuselah was a caged bird who died and all he knew was to be fed by humans. Adah believed herself to be just like Methuselah due to her disability. However, Adah is not the only one Methuselah can be seen to represent. Methuselah, as a symbol, represents many things as well as revealing so much information.

Today we want to look at the causality that took place in the Garden Tomb during the 6 day war.

Early Christianity had a lot to do with the transformation of Rome and posed a challenge to the Roman Empire. Christians were known as the enemy of Rome, primarily because they refused to worship the emperors as the embodiment of Rome’s Gods meaning they were denying his divinity and authority. The one whom the Christians worshiped had been declared a criminal, was tried and put to death the roman state.

I really like how John the Baptist is so humble. He knew someone greater was coming soon and he embraced that. He did not label himself as a great prophet, but he highlighted greatly how one much more important is coming. That would be Jesus. John the Baptist said, "Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He also didn't even no who Jesus was or what he would be like. He seems a lot like us. We do not know that Jesus truly existed, it we still believe that he does and celebrate mass.

In Isaiah 43:2 God reassures us saying “When you go through deep waters I will be with you.” This verse is one that is so close to my heart and has been on my wall right above my bed to serve as a constant reminder that when I go through everyday struggles to put my trust in God. Born and raised in a Christian home I was and am constantly in the atmosphere of the church. Whether Sunday services, youth group, or just being surrounded by my fellow believers, Christ has always been a big part of my life. I always knew the answers to the Sunday school questions, and I grew up knowing who God was. I always learned to turn to him with my problems and praises. But as I got older, these ideas became lost on me. I still had this deep love for God and

According to ethnographer Raphael Patai, author of Encyclopedia of Jewish Folklore and Traditions, in the plains of Ancient Mesopotamia around the year 1812 B.C.E. as per Jewish tradition, Abraham was born to Terah, who was a man native to the province of Ur. Abraham was originally named Abram, which translates as “exalted by his Father;” however, God would change his name to Abraham, a name that signifies “father of a multitude.” When he was seventy-five years old, God appeared to Abraham as El Shaddai, and commanded for him to go out of his father’s house and travel to the promised land of Canaan, where he would be gifted with a large amount of descendants, and El Shaddai Himself offered him protection throughout the journey. As a consequence

Next, we read in verses two to three: “To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.” Like many of the prophetic Books, we are given the range of Jeremiah’s career as a prophet to the nation which spanned some fifty years. In verse two we learn that God’s call to Jeremiah comes in the 13th year of the reign of King Josiah which was in 627 BC. At this point the wicked king Manasseh is dead, to be followed by his wicked son Amon who eventually dies

The prophets often faced different challenges in to achieve their mission as God’s messengers. As a result, when the Word of the Lord came to someone to become a prophet, sometimes the individual may resist because he is afraid of the hard task to prophesize. It is the case of the prophet Jeremiah who present objection to not becoming a prophet. On one hand, the Israelites are stiff-necked people. They mock the prophet, and they harden their heart to not listen, nor to follow the prophet’s message. On the other hand, God sometimes seems to be far away from him, it is the reason why Jeremiah feels abandoned to itself. He keeps lamenting this overwhelming situation. Many scholars believe that the prophet Jeremiah is the prototype of the prophetic

John the Baptist is a significant and familiar character in the Bible. Even as significant and familiar as he is, very little is known about him. We are told that he was born to Zechariah, a temple priest, and his mother, Elizabeth, was a cousin to Mary, the mother of Jesus. From other bits and pieces within the Bible, we know he was an unusual character. He chose to live a rugged life in the mountainous area of Judea between the city of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. His clothes were made out of camel’s hair and his diet consisted of locusts and wild honey. Yum! Even though little is known of him, his coming was foretold over 700 years prior by the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah said, “A voice of one calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way for
