The Destruction Of Jerusalem And The Temple

" 6 Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: 'The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry." 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. 9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did - and were killed by snakes. 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did - and were killed by the destroying angel. 11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.'

 "...and this is what will cause my condemnation if I am condemned;  not Meletus of Antyus either, but that prejudice and resentment of the multitude which have been the destruction of many good men before me, and I think will be so again.  There is no prospect that I shall be the last victim" (34).

The Crusades were a series of wars over the holy lands such as Jerusalem between European Christians and the Ottoman Empire between the 11th and 15th centuries. They fought for many reasons such as control over religious sights, access to trade and protection of fellow christians.

Six million jews. Six million innocent men, women and children. Emerging from the ashes and corpses, one man had the intention of preserving this tragedy, yet at the same time preventing it. Elie Wiesel’s fulfilled his purpose of showing the heinous crimes of the Holocaust through the change of characterization of Elie before, during and after the events of Wiesel 's 1940 memoir-Night. The Holocaust is remembered as a stain on history, where a massive genocide occurred. but we must also recognize the souls and personalities that were killed and burned. Wiesel trembling hands picked up these ashes, personifying their ebony remains into a young child-Elie.

Jesus in Mathew 23, spoke to the Pharisee about judgment, culminating in the seven “woe” statement. On leaving the temple in chapter 24, the disciples called his attention to the buildings on the temple mount. Jesus in verse 2, tells them forthrightly that “not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down.” A prophecy fulfilled in 70AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. The magnificent Temple was destroyed.

The Spoils of Jerusalem is a very interesting sculpture. This sculpture was constructed in c. AD.82 by Emperor Domitian after the death of his oldest brother Titus, to show off Titus' victory over the siege of Jerusalem (Khan, n.d). The relief sculpture is located within the "Arch of Titus" and it represents the victories of Domitian's father and his brother in the Jewish War (Cartwright, 2013).It is relief sculpture, which means that it is attached to a background and can only be viewed from one side (Sporre, 2015). The original sculpture is located within the Arch of Titus, in Rome, which is a beautiful piece of art in its self.

New Jerusalem be defiled and corrupted by wrong and deceitful ideas." What is the irony in

Rebel In the novel Heroes, Gods, and Monsters by Bernard Evslin, a recurring theme in the book is disobeying the gods. Going against the will of the gods is a serious crime, the gods have set rules for a reason and some of the characters in the book purposefully break those rules. Specifically, the story of Prometheus's and Sisyphus both display the theme of disobeying the gods for their own personal gain. Similarly, the stories of Pandora and Orpheus exhibit the theme of disobeying the gods because of curiosity.

The violence of warfare is also prominent, “The time was to come, when that wine too would be spilled on the street-stones, and when the stain of it would be red upon many there.” (1.5.5) When the Frenches lust for wine and blood becomes interchangeable when they flow through the streets. "To be registered, as doomed to destruction," returned Defarge.” (2.15.63-67) With violence comes extinction, the death of many whose innocence does not

The third looming prophecy has yet to completely be fulfilled, however a significant amount of ongoing issues indicate the contents within the prophecy may possibly be on the verge of resurfacing in the near future. Contrary to the previous restorative prophecies, the message of the prophecy located in Ezekiel chapter thirty-eight predicts destruction. The language within the prophecy states, “When my people of Israel are established securely, will you make your move? Will you attack that land of Israel? Fueled by blazing jealousy, I tell you that then there will be an earthquake that rocks the land of Israel. I’ll order all-out war against Gog. I’ll deluge Gog with judgment: disease and massacre, torrential rain and hail, volcanic lava pouring down on you and your mobs of troops and people.” By approaching current ongoing events mindful of the emphasis Ezekiel placed on recognizing the inevitable destructive forces around him before they happened, society today is reminded that there are situations that are uncontrollable, and

The diction word I used was “annihilate” which eventually lead me to believe that the tone word id use to describe this passage is frustrated. The quote describes the sky and how ugly and hirable it has become. I think it is making a reference to god and how could he let the clutters die even though they were god people.

The precondition for discovering America consisted of events and circumstances occurring over centuries altering the social, political, economic, and technological landscape of the world.

Although the exact age of the Jewish faith is debatable, one thing is certain, it is a faith with an extensive, and at times tumultuous, history. Throughout the history of Judaism, Jewish people have faced ongoing persecution and discrimination. Despite these conflicts, the faith is alive, strong, and growing. Like many religions faced with adversity, Judaism has had to accommodate the ever-changing world to maintain their faith. One significant moment of change, the falling of the Second Temple, had the opportunity to destroy Judaism for good, but the Jewish people came together and reformulated their religion in order to save their faith.

As stated in verse 26, “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but, not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city, and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.” In this text, one can easily see that after the Messiah begins his
