Dune Messiah

there are numerous titles given to Jesus that are exclusive/predominant within the Matthean account, such as that of Son of God, it is the writer’s assertion that these merely complement Matthew’s central theses; this being the portrayal of Jesus as Messiah and so, as such, will not be investigated except where they promote this conclusion. This fulfilment of Judaic tradition will be

allowed the Israelites to return to Jerusalem in 538 B.C.E. after their exile to Babylon. He is not a Jew; he is a Persian. When Isaiah calls Cyrus the Lord’s “anointed”, the word he is using, moshiak, is, in English, messiah. Isaiah is referring to this Persian king as the Lord’s messiah! However strongly you feel about it, God will act through those He chooses!

coming of the Savior, the Son of God, than the book of Isaiah. The book of Isaiah combines all elements of the coming Messiah in his glory and agony, all of which was prophesied more than 700 years before his coming. The book of Isaiah was named after the prophet who we learn, in chapter 1, was the son of Amoz and was born around 773 BCE. In addition to his prophesies regarding the Messiah, Isaiah prophesied and wrote about the destruction and redemption of Israel, which would play an integral part in

Book Review- The Incarnation of God God become man, one of the profound mysteries of the Gospel and the Christian faith, is evidenced and affirmed throughout Scripture, yet it all too often is neglected in modern Christian thought and practice. In the work, The Incarnation of God, John Clark and Marcus Johnson do just the opposite. They bring the truth from scripture to robustly discuss a theology of the incarnation of God. Throughout their discussion, it becomes evident that the book strives to

people were saying about him and he heard from them the popular rumors and reports. Then Jesus asked them a question to see if they understand who he really was. “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah” (Mark 8:29,

But they really don’t play it well. First, there is the issue of counting. It is difficult to be patient enough to count to ten and there is the problem that if you don’t know 2,3,4,5,6 go in the middle you get to ten really fast. And it’s so fun to say “Ready or Not, Here I

Songs” speak on a servant who would be instrumental in the fulfilment of God’s plan, while the title of servant is not used, many are lead to the conclusion that among others, the title could fall to someone within the Davidic bloodline, namely the Messiah. Isaiah’s terminology when describing God as “The Holy One of Israel”, not only shows reverence by admission of God’s holiness, but also emphasizes the point of the great offenses that the Israelite nation committed against God. As a holy God, he

major themes for the book of Isaiah. Some are more in depth than the others but all of them get the point across that is needed to be stated. These five themes are the remnant, the sovereignty of God, the servant, the Holy one of Israel, and the Messiah. For the first theme it seems as it is all about the remnant. The term remnant means remainder, rest, or residue. It sometimes is shown in contexts where it has this basic meaning and refers to different kinds of objects. In Isaiah chapter

Richard Wilbur, God, and Christianity        A recurring theme in the poetry of Richard Wilbur is one of God and Christianity.  Biblical references can be found throughout his work, even in poems that have little to do with religion.  However, this theme is quite prominent as there are several poems contain more than passing references.

Jesus explains in John 5:39 that all scripture points to him. All throughout the Old Testament are foreshadowing stories filled with the Gospel of Christ, prophecies that the Messiah will fulfill, wisdom of God’s character, and songs that exemplify the heart of our savior. On some occasions, Jesus quoted the Old Testament to specifically highlight a central theme that he was trying to portray to his people.
