Puritan settlers came to the new world seeking a better life and to get away from the rule of the Catholic Church they wanted to become a primitive Baptist church like in the

We find evidence of such in the first chapter of Isaiah, commonly referred to as the “Great Arraignment”, where the Lord Jehovah lays out specific charges against his chosen people.

The theme for this collection of homilies has two overriding words: gloom and bloom. The first refers to exerting human circumstances, when persons feel downcast, alone, lonely, abandoned, depressed, dark in the heart, mind, and soul. Bloom, on the other hand, is figuratively applied to the time of excitement, celebration, fulfillment, joyful feeling, and contentment, as in the case of blooming of flowers with exuberances and fragrances, after passing through the rigors of coat-splitting, seed-breaking

conversing about jesus christ. Then some people start to hear a soft voice and they pay no attention to the voice. Then the voice spoke again and again the people did not understand it.

On February tenth, 1675, an Indian attack on Lancaster during King Philip’s War resulted in the capture of twenty-four people. Mary Rowlandson was among these captives, and the resulting captivity narrative, titled The Narrative of the Captivity and the Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson, published in 1682, is formed based on her memory. Rowlandson’s captivity narrative carried great significance in that it came to be used as a didactic Jeremiad, leading its Calvinist audience back towards God’s

remarkably comprehensive (one might even say holistic) prophetic view of both corporate and individual moral, religious and political responsibilities that are incumbent upon man in covenantal relationship with God, and the devastating effects for the Chosen People of God, as well as “the nations,” for failure to observe them. This paper reflects on the essentials of the social message of God through Amos, and how those essentials of Amos can properly “aim us” in the right directions for relationship between
