John Milton's Paradise Lost John Milton’s Paradise Lost is filled with fantastical tales from the depths of Hell, extravagant descriptions of the fallen angels, and a curious recitation of the council of demons in their new palace. How did Milton dream up such vivid depictions of such horrible demons as the ones we see in Book I? Most of his fallen angels originate in the form of Pagan gods condemned by the Bible, with actual historical backgrounds which Milton cites in his lengthy descriptions

Hosea The book of Hosea was written by one of the Minor prophets, Hosea, who was one of the first prophets to write his own prophecy. In the book, Hosea mentions the reigns of four kings; Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. This tells us that this book was written between 792 B.C and 686 B.C. Hosea wrote a prophetic message directed to Isreal as a warning about the breaking of their covenant with God. Isreal was in the midst of self destruction through sin and false idolatry; because of this, Israel

Tullock begins chapter eight by discussing Rehoboam’s reign and the other kings of Judah. Considered to be unsuccessful, Rehoboam is known for dealing with the revolt of Israel and facing issues with the Shishak of Egypt. Abijam and Asa of Judah have been depicted as father and son and also brother by interpretations found in 1 Kings 15. 2 Chronicles clears some confusion by altering Abijam’s name to Abijah, and Abijah is known for military skill and capturing Bethel, Jeshanah, and Ephron. Asa is

. EVENT: I had thought the small group for two sessions on December, 2014. First week on Wednesday evening, December 3, 2014 I preached from Isaiah %: 26 – 30. My major theme is “coming Destruction.” I had explained to them how God’s signal the destructions. I explain verse by verse to the people to see it clear and ask questions. Since this passage is passage is five verses I started in Isaiah 6: 9 – 13. This passage my major theme is “the commission”. Maybe, you can think why I jump

focusing on the Book of Micah as a whole. Micah is a shorter form of the Hebrew name "Micaiah," which means "who is like Jehovah?" Out of the twelve minor prophets, the Book of Micah is the sixth one. Micah was a prophet during the time of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The message of Micah was similar to that of fellow prophets, Isaiah and Hosea. The message of Micah was for the people of Israel and Judah, with his focus being on that of the capitals; Samaria and Jerusalem. The

The long day of Joshua is when Joshua was battling 5 different kings and their armies, and he just needed a bit more time to conquer them. He prayed to God and asked for the sun to stand still; God listened to Joshua’s cry and he made that happen. There is not just one account that this has been observed and accepted. For example, there is a legend of a long day in the ancient writing ofs Chinese, the Incas of Peru, Aztecs of Mexico, Persia and also Babylonians all have the same or similar account

Did the sun and the moon stand still in the book of Joshua? What does this truly mean? Joshua 10:13 states “So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.” This is recorded down in the bible. You can also find this information in the Jewish history book of Jashar. If you believe in God like I do, then

Ruth: With no clear author it is speculated to be written by Solomon; the date it was written was uncertain, it is estimated to be written between 1011 and 931 B.C. The literary genres is family narrative. It was written to the Israelites. It teaches that genuine love at times may require uncompromising sacrifice. Major events; the death of her husband and the return to her mother-in-law’s homeland. The key personalities are Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz, key themes are faithfulness, honor and redemption

that is genuine humility. The occurrence of false humility can come by means of several ways: Through self-occupation, publication of personal sacrifice to impress, as well submission, without obedience and so on. This is precisely the attitude of Ahaz, the king of Judah (2 Kings). He submits; he takes the humble posture; he speaks the humble words; but, he does not obey God, nor does he put his faith completely in God. I bring up false humility, because within it, is the root of false reverence

and Isaiah are both prophets of the Lord. While both of them preached the true word of God to Gods people they both did it in different ways. The first verse of the Book of Isaiah states that Isaiah prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah. Uzziah's reign was 52, and Isaiah must have begun his ministry a few years before Uzziah's death. Isaiah lived until the fourteenth year of Hezekiah's reign, and may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh
