Download or read book Revelation and Concealment of Christ written by Saeed Hamid-Khani and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elusive disposition of John's language has been noted by biblical scholars throughout the history of New Testament studies. The Fourth Gospel is seen as so simple to grasp and yet often pointing beyond itself and beckoning the reader to read deeper. Various socio-linguistic studies have explained this feature as the reflection of the sectarian tendencies in the Johannine Christianity. In his study Saeed Hamid-Khani questions these approaches as inadequate. In turn, he examines John's language within an exegetical and theological framework. He argues that the Sitz im Leben of Johannine language was an environment in which the Hebrew Scriptures were the dominant conceptual force for both the Jews and the Christians. In this context he argues that the essential function of John's enigmatic language is wedded to the Evangelist's purpose in writing the Gospel: namely a steadfast focus upon setting forth that Jesus is the Christ according to the witness of Israel's Scriptures. It is here in these echoes and thematic allusions to the Scriptures that we find the answer to the function and significance of John's unique language: i.e., Jesus is the Messiah, the Saviour of the world, and he is the visible image of the invisible God, the embodiment of the self-revelation of God according to the Scriptures. However, these truths are concealed from the undiscerning and are only revealed by the spirit of God to those who are born of God.

Download or read book Histories of the Hidden God written by April D DeConick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Western religious traditions, God is conventionally conceived as a humanlike creator, lawgiver, and king, a being both accessible and actively present in history. Yet there is a concurrent and strong tradition of a God who actively hides. The two traditions have led to a tension between a God who is simultaneously accessible to humanity and yet inaccessible, a God who is both immanent and transcendent, present and absent. Western Gnostic, esoteric, and mystical thinking capitalizes on the hidden and hiding God. He becomes the hallmark of the mystics, Gnostics, sages, and artists who attempt to make accessible to humans the God who is secreted away. 'Histories of the Hidden God' explores this tradition from antiquity to today. The essays focus on three essential themes: the concealment of the hidden God; the human quest for the hidden God, and revelations of the hidden God.

Book excerpt: Imagine what your Christian development would be like if you grasped the true character of God. you were captivated by appreciation of and love for Gods Word. you were not frightened away by the haunted house of Revelation. you appreciated how the early churchs experience influenced the message of Revelation. you understood how various viewpoints on Revelation developed over time. you enjoyed a perspective which prevents tunnel vision. you understood viewpoints about which you were previously unaware. you esteemed fellow believers who have different understandings of Revelation. you appreciated how the meaning of Jesus sacrifice is pictured in Revelation. you practiced the message of Revelation in everyday life. you were strengthened by an unshakable faith in God. your faith was heartfelt and growing rather than formal or ritualistic. you were strong enough to stand firm in the face of any and all spiritual opposition. you were known for your moral and spiritual purity. you were able to resist the seductions of our culture. you demonstrated the sacrificial style of Jesus rather than the self-serving style of society. you enjoyed the blessings of those who keep the words of Revelations message. your anticipation of Jesus return rose above a distracting concern with earthquakes, wars, and developing social events. you appreciated your present and future spiritual realities. you were eager rather than fearful about the future. you enjoyed the depths of the relationship toward which God is moving us.
Download or read book Revelation of Jesus Christ written by Margaret Barker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-11-02 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and transforming approach to the Book of Revelation. Margaret Barker bases her study on a fresh reading of the primary sources. As an Old Testament scholar, she can read Revelation as Hebrew prophecy - ancient temple oracles which inspired Jesus and his own prophecies, and influenced the whole Jerusalem Church. Jerusalem was waiting for their Great High Priest to return and complete the Atonement at the end of the Tenth Jubilee. This expectation fuelled the revolt against Rome. Josephus, who deserted to Rome, was the false prophet. John, who escaped to Patmos, compiled Revelation as a record of the first generation. In the future, he taught, the Lord would return to his people in the Eucharist.This work illuminates the formative years of Christianity, in the social, religious and political situation of mid-first-century Palestine, in a quite remarkable way. It will have profound implications for the understanding of Christian origins and the development of Christian liturgy.

Download or read book Christ Revealed written by Dr David Abraham and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRIST REVEALED Revelation is defined as the dramatic act of revealing something previously concealed. It is the act or process of disclosing something previously secret or obscure, especially something true, in other words, the act of revealing secrets or very important information. In the Christian context, it is God's disclosure of God's own Personality, nature, and purpose for mankind. God's revelation is dynamic in nature. He reveals Himself in dispensations. This progressive nature of His revelation may appear fairly obvious when we look at the many years and authors it took to assemble the Holy Scriptures. It therefore, means that the understanding of progressive revelation is important in relation to prophecy. THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE FULL MANIFESTATION AS SONS OF GOD IS THE REVELATION OF CHRIST! The Revelation of Christ is the centre of God's eternal plan and purpose for man. Until Christ is fully revealed in the life of any man, God's plan for that man has not been completed, irrespective of whatever thing or things he may have accomplished in life. This unveiling only begins at the new birth; So many have experienced the dynamic workings of God in the new birth and have stopped right there in their journey in life. The new birth is the operation of God which brings us into Christ, so we can begin a journey into the fullness of Him and so we can come to the place of perfection in Christ. In Colossians 4:28, Paul the apostle, by whom this mystery was handed over to us boldly tells us "Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus". This is what is missing in the Church today and God is speedily at work, restoring the Church back to the revelation of Christ so His people can be perfected and ready for His return! God is ushering us into a continuation of the apostolic frequency of the Early Church that was truncated by circumstances. This is therefore, why this work The Revelation of Christ is to be published in series and this incidentally forms the first volume of the work. As Christ continues to reveal Himself so will the revelation be published for the consumption of His people all over the world. We are privileged to be part of this apostolic and final move of God in these final moments of man's sojourn on this planet. Dr. David G. Abraham

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social injustice, social distancing and masks, the coronavirus pandemic, earthquakes, wars, and rumors of wars--is this really the end-times? When thinking about the book of Revelation, death and destruction, lawlessness and chaos seem to be the focus of most people. Humanity, especially Hollywood, seems to have an insatiable appetite for the sensational devastation and death that is predicted in this biblical prophecy. The problem with this is most media sources miss the main point for which these catastrophes occur; the call of God for His creation to reunite with Him.

Revelation: The Full Disclosure of Jesus Christ takes the reader verse by verse through the entire twenty-two chapters of Revelation, giving accurate but easy-to-understand explanations. It is designed as a study guide for the children of God, at every level of understanding! The book of Revelation is both a continuation and ending of the story that began in the book of Genesis.
