Dune Messiah

"The rains! That is a puzzle I cannot solve. Why do you ask?" "I dream of them at nighttime." "Since when?" "The last few nights. I imagine sparkling, crystal blue lakes stretching across the valleys like vast oceans. The dunes wash away. Rolling green hills, bordered by savannahs teeming with a diverse assortment of life stand in their stead." Tralore laughed. "That is a vivid imagination you have, my child." "Something has changed. Hasn't it, Father?" As he traced circles

Sand dunes are mounds of windblown sand, which vary greatly in size, from less than one meter to tens of meters high. The size depends upon the supply of sand. Many of the more recognizable dune forms are ridges or complexes of mounds or crescents. The shape of individual dunes is equally variable. Shape relates to the direction and strength of the wind forming it, as well as to the amount of sand available. The impressive sand dunes along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan

Who was Jesus? That is the ultimate question of Christianity. In fact, many say, “Christianity is Christ.”1 Therefore, getting this question correct means everything. So, was Jesus God? Was he a man? Or was he some sort of combination of the two? And does this even matter? These questions plagued the early followers of Jesus so much that a formal statement of belief was created in which the term Hypostatic Union was used to fully explain who Jesus was. Therefore, Hypostatic Union is clearly seen

put on pause until the Messiah came due to the unfaithful and corrupt leaders in the nation (Newland 167-168). In the Bible, there is also Midrash when Isaiah predicts the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. For example, Isaiah says to the people that "the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman," who is a virgin and is "pregnant about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel" (The New American Bible Revised Edition, Is. 7:14). He also speaks again about the coming Messiah when he says that "a child

In this case, I would explain to Issa the relationship we have with Jesus. It is a loving, caring, committed relationship. It requires nurturing and time. Once we realize how much Jesus loves us, we will value time spent with Him. We will yearn to be near Him and want our relationship to grow. Universalism vs. Particularism Issa comes from a particularistic culture which is very different from my culture. I do not like to barter when shopping. When in countries where that is the norm, I’d rather

Jesus is our hope. Jesus though divine, was also fully human, and He experienced the full spectrum of temptation; nevertheless, He did not sin. The message of Christ was one that went against the grain of the religious norm or expectations of the Messiah. The people of Israel expected a military leader, but they found a humble servant who came to give life, not to take. The people of Israel rigorously clung to the law which they could not keep for the hope of their salvation, but Jesus condensed the

Theme In Dune, by Frank Herbert, everyone’s life depends on the Melange, or the spice. The spice was a drug that could not be reproduced and only found on the planet Arrakis. Frank Herbert shows in Dune that there are products like the spice that large populations depends on. First, the Fremen on Arrakis heavily depends on the spice. The spice is in their everyday food and materials. They use the spice to make things such as spice paper, spice fibre, and chemical explosives. It is also in their

Pig Face Carpobrotus Rossii There are about 30 different species of carpobrotus Rossii (Pigface) around the world. In Australia there are four species which are seen mainly in coastal areas on sand dunes. Pigface is a succulent plant that spreads up to 2 or more metres, flatly across the ground with thick waxy succulent leaves growing up to 100mm long and has large daisy like flowers which grow about 45mm in diameter. This plant usually has purple petals with a white or yellow centre. fruits

those men had known Jesus before that day, but not as the Messiah. Andrew had been a disciple of John the Baptist (John 1) and had heard John announce that the Messiah was already in the midst of Israel. Two days later, John pointed out Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” (John 1:36) Andrew and another disciple [probably John the apostle] left John the Baptist and spent the day with Jesus. When Andrew learned that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah, he found his brother, Peter, and brought him to the Lord

I feel that in the readings Jesus was confident in his belief that he was God in Human form. Jesus continued to prove that he was sent for the people to keep faith and believe. When people expressed everyones concern that he may not be, he asked “Who do the people say I am?” regardless of these answers he never showed weakness or spoke to the people in any judgmental way. When he questions people individually I believe is when people really began to see that Jesus really was not benefiting in any
