spoken by the prophet Jeremiah in a day when the nation's desire, its best desire, was perhaps never so evident. The people had begun to see the fulfilment of God's promises and the working of His providence.

The chorus then responds to the events of the prologue with a fearful prayer to the gods, reflecting deep faith in the words, “Speak to me, immortal voice, child of golden Hope” (157-158). The parodos of Oedipus the King presents the profound piety that is persistently prevalent in all the choral odes of the play despite the horrendous actions that unfold over the course of the play.

History has recorded events and happening of different nature and at the same brought revelation of God’s works in the lives of people. They initially began as those that had some perceptions about their questions, the questions that became a personal desire for them to search for the unveiled truth.

Battle Scene from the Greek War of Independence, a romantic painting by Georg Perlberg, shows the Greek soldiers taking back their land from the Turks, while another romantic painting, The Souliote Women, by Ary Scheffer, shows the Greek women and children before

In a lot of ways, we are all connected. Some connections are with the mind other connection are more spiritual, and lastly some through physical connection.

The Fall of Humanity speaks a lot of why we as humans act the way we do.

Thanksgiving, these colonists banned Christmas and considered Easter to be the devil’s holiday. Beginning in the early 1600s, the Puritans and Indians were extremely belligerent towards each other.
