The pericope I chose for my close reading assignment comes from Revelation chapter 22 verses 1-6. When reading this pericope it quickly obvious the genre is apocalyptic. In the few short verses there is evidence of an apocalyptic genre such as the means of revelation. Verse 5 says, “ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal.” This pericope is apocalyptic because verse 1 is just one example of the means of revelation. The genre is also apocalyptic because it has

The god Yhwh goes through many changes throughout the books of the hebrew bible. For example, in the book of Genesis, Yhwh makes the entire earth, but when Eve takes food from the tree of knowledge, he is angry because she gained knowledge of right and wrong. He seems a little bit jealous here because he punishes them for becoming more like him. This is shown when it says, “Then Lord God said, Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now lest he put forth his hand and

According to Beauvoir's perspective, there is always something more to do in life. Any goal that you set, there is a question of how it can be expanded. There is always more to be accomplished.

So Pyrrhus will find

subjects of faith also calls for us to be a witness of Yahweh. By us being witnesses of Yahweh allows for us to grow by Faith. As we see others being encouraged will encourage our own spiritually.

There are some of us that Yahweh chooses to be witnesses not because we want to be but because of the certain connection or identification with Yahweh makes us witnesses. Another famous thing I remember

The exile was an act of divine judgment towards the nation of Israel due to their consistent unfaithfulness to the covenantal agreement with Yahweh established at Sinai and their failure to seek Yahweh as their Lord. Throughout the time of exile, Yahweh remained gracious, and faithful to his covenant people, proving it to be a time of great restoration and formation for the nation. The exile can only be seen as a turning point, for the people of God and the nation of Israel; Karen Jobes said,

As the story goes, Yahweh heard the outcry of the happenings of these cities and sends angels to assess the grievousness of the peoples’ sins and ultimately, Yahweh would destroy the two cities. (Genesis 18:20-21). Dialog between Yahweh and Abraham commences in regard to sparing his nephew and his family alive and in chapter 19, Lot shows his hospitality towards the angels (his

women did not normally hold power and had much lower places in society than men did, and most likely were rarely involved in military or government aspects of life. monotheism- the act of worshiping, believing in one god exclusively, or the belief in Yahweh as the one and only god, sometimes credited to Akhenaten when he attempted to shift the focus of Egyptian religion, occurred truly for the first time with the Israelites, solidified after 920 B.C.E. when the Israel was split in two kingdoms (84)

Disillusioned Latin students, who cringe at the thought of repeatedly scribbling their grammar, are often told by their teachers, "Per repitio nos studiare," which translates to "through repetition we learn." Though this may seem hard to believe as their hands begin to cramp, it bears a certain amount of truth. As my grandfather once told me, "Experience is often the best teacher."
