Jesus gave us the Great Commission, and it was not a command He left open for discussion. Before we can obey the Great Commission and make disciples, we must first be disciples. A better way to think on global missions is that Missions = Discipleship. Discipleship is about engaging (the Word), following and obeying (Jesus) and going (making disciples). We believe that missions is more about discipleship than evangelism, although both are critically important. Discipleship is about obedience and

Egypt had experienced years of political upheaval owing to sibling rivalry and native unrest (Wilkinson, 2010), well before Rome was interested in seizing the country.

In act 3 Scene 4, the relationship between Antony and Octavia is presented to us through the means of the conversation that they have about the arising conflict between Antony and Caesar. Although short, the scene manages to present to us the relationship of Antony and Octavia as a comparison to Antony’s relationship with Cleopatra and further the inversion of public and private life, as Antony only discusses public life with his wife Octavia and private with Cleopatra.
