Book excerpt: Rodon is the country of fortune tellers where fortune tellers have existed for the last couple of centuries to serve the Kingdom. In Rodon we already know what kind of life we will have, who will be our friend, who we are going to marry, what kind of children we will have, how and when we are going to die. Here everyone knows what is waiting for them and makes decisions based on that. Everyone, apart from myself, and my twin sister, Alana. 'When your parents got married, at their wedding they got to know that their firstborn will be a boy and that they will love each other until the death of your mother', Shirela, the fortune teller said. 'And it happened like that, ' I said, 'I'm the first-born child.' 'When a child is conceived, his fate is very sensitive, and we don't like to tell anything. In your case, one of the fortune tellers said something to your mother and you were called traitor immediately. After the prophecy your parents had to leave the capital almost immediately, they got only a few days to prepare. Until then they used to live in the capital.' ....... 'If I look at someone, I can see his possible future and his past. For some people, it is variable, like for example a noble whose life depends on others. There are people who have got a straightforward future. There are others for whom we cannot see anything.' 'Who is like that?' I asked with curiosity. 'Alana and you, ' Shirela said, 'when I look at you, I can see nothing. Neither your past nor your future. Visiting me was not forbidden because of what I will tell you, but to let you know that you are not part of the tree of fate.' ....... My sister bowed her head slightly and did a graceful curtsy. 'Your majesty, I'd like to thank you for extending your hospitality to me, I'm Alana, ' my sister smiled, she too had remembered our mother's teachings well. Alana waited for the Prince's greeting, but nothing happened. The Prince stood quietly not saying a word. Alana stood quietly as well. From what we knew, if the Prince did not greet Alana personally like everyone else, it would mean that he did not accept my sister as his guest and Alana would not be allowed to stay in the castle with me and she would have needed to step back behind me now. ........ I stepped up to the Prince and I slapped him in his face, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself. 'Try to use your brain, your majesty, ' I said, 'pay attention to the attackers and not to Alana, whose only fault is to love a person who doesn't deserve it. Luckily it is over. She is sending this to you, ' I held the palm of his hand and dropped the ring into it.

Download or read book Identity in Conflict written by Elie Assis and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No nation has been subjected to a wider range of biblical attitudes and emotions than Edom. In some sources, Edom is perceived as Israel’s brother; in many others, the animosity toward Edom is tremendous. The book of Genesis introduces Isaac, his wife Rebecca, and their twin sons, Esau and Jacob. Rivalry between the brothers emerges even before their birth and escalates over the course of their lives. The question of which son should be favored also causes tension in the parents’ relationship, and most of the Genesis text concerning Isaac and Rebecca revolves around this issue. The narrative describes the fraternal conflict between Jacob and Esau at length, and many hold that this description is a reflection of the hostility between Edom and Israel. However, the relationship between the brothers is not always depicted as strained. The twofold relationship between the brothers in Genesis—brotherhood and fraternity coupled with hatred and rivalry—introduces a dichotomy that is retained throughout the Hebrew Bible. In this monograph, Assis elucidates the complex relationship between Edom and Israel reflected in the Bible, to attempt to clarify the source of this complexity and the function that this relationship serves in the various biblical texts and Israel’s early history. He shows how this relationship plays an important role in the formation of Israel’s identity, and how the historical interaction between the nations influenced the people’s theological conception, as reflected in prophetic literature, poetry, and biblical narrative.

Download or read book Spirit and Sacrament written by Andrew Wilson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirit and Sacrament by pastor and author Andrew Wilson is an impassioned call to join together two traditions that are frequently and unnecessarily kept separate. It is an invitation to pursue the best of both worlds in worship, the Eucharistic and the charismatic, with the grace of God at the center. Wilson envisions church services in which healing testimonies and prayers of confession coexist, the congregation sings When I Survey the Wondrous Cross followed by Happy Day, and creeds move the soul while singing moves the body. He imagines a worship service that could come out of the book of Acts: Young men see visions, old men dream dreams, sons and daughters prophesy, and they all come together to the same Table and go on their way rejoicing. In short, Spirit and Sacrament is an appeal to bring out of the church's storehouse all of its treasures, so that God's people can worship our unrivaled Savior with sacraments and spiritual gifts, raised hands and lowered faces.

Download or read book The Western Elves written by Bob Spark and published by Innovo Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK: In this first book of the Twins of Prophecy trilogy, we observe the twins' birth and their growing into adulthood in the Western Kingdom of the Elves. Chem and Ema are very different in their gifts and personalities; this will be a major theme of the entire trilogy. Some people's gifts are outward and very prominent, but others are hidden and obscure, yet the less prominent person can often be of greater importance. Chem is a very gifted leader and warrior, but Ema is shy, mute, and not a warrior, yet the entire story is focused upon her ultimate and immense importance. We are also introduced to many of the other important characters as the developing scenario of danger and struggle is clearly painted throughout these formative years of the twins. Though there is less action in this first book, in many ways, the descriptive detail and the character interactions are so interesting and memorable that they thrill the reader while building that intense anticipation for what is to come. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Bob Spark was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1954. He was raised in the Anglican Church but rebelled during his teen years. He did not truly come to follow Jesus Christ until his early twenties. It was always his desire to write, so beginning in the 80s, and over the next twenty years, Bob began to create, shape, and build the history, characters, and storyline of the Twins of Prophecy. The tale grew and the characters became so real that even though he had created them, he also laughed and wept with them. It was his desire to write a story that was not overtly Christian, yet was a novel of grandeur, of deep struggle, and of great moral excellence. Time alone will tell if he has even just begun to achieve such noble aspirations. Bob now lives alone in a small country town north of Melbourne. He enjoys keeping fit, running, biking, and walking regularly. In addition to improving the old property he lives on, Bob chiefly spends his time studying, writing, and discussing biblical theology. Bob has two adult children, David and Anna, who both live in New Zealand.
Download or read book The Byzantine Apocalyptic Tradition written by Paul J. Alexander and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Christian history, apocalyptic visions of the approaching end of time have provided a persistent and enigmatic theme for history and prophecy. Apocalyptic literature played a particularly important role in the medieval world, where legends of the Antichrist, Gog and Magog, and the Last Roman Emperor were widely circulated. Although scholars have long recognized that a body of Byzantine prophetic literature served as the source for these ideas, the Byzantine textual tradition, its sources, and the way in which it was transmitted to the West have neve been thoroughly understood. For more than fifteen years prior to his death in 1977, Paul J. Alexander devoted his energies to the clarification of the Byzantine apocalyptic tradition. These studies, left uncompleted at his death, trace the development of a textual tradition that passed from Syriac through Greek to Slavonic and Latin literature. Using a combination of philological and historical detection, the author establishes the time, place, and circumstances of composition for each of the major surviving texts, identifying lost works known only through descriptions. In showing how Byzantine prophecy served as a bridge between ancient eschatological works and the medieval West, Alexander demonstrates that apocalyptic literature represents a creative source for the expression of political and religious thought in the medieval world.
