Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of "heaven," we generally conjure up positive, blissful images. Heaven is, after all, where God is and where good people go after death to receive their reward. But how and why did Western cultures come to imagine the heavenly realm in such terms? Why is heaven usually thought to be "up there," far beyond the visible sky? And what is the source of the idea that the post mortem abode of the righteous is in this heavenly realm with God? Seeking to discover the roots of these familiar notions, this volume traces the backgrounds, origin, and development of early Jewish and Christian speculation about the heavenly realm -- where it is, what it looks like, and who its inhabitants are. Wright begins his study with an examination of the beliefs of ancient Israel's neighbors Egypt and Mesopotamia, reconstructing the intellectual context in which the earliest biblical images of heaven arose. A detailed analysis of the Hebrew biblical texts themselves then reveals that the Israelites were deeply influenced by images drawn from the surrounding cultures. Wright goes on to examine Persian and Greco-Roman beliefs, thus setting the stage for his consideration of early Jewish and Christian images, which he shows to have been formed in the struggle to integrate traditional biblical imagery with the newer Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos. In a final chapter Wright offers a brief survey of how later Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions envisioned the heavenly realms. Accessible to a wide range of readers, this provocative book will interest anyone who is curious about the origins of this extraordinarily pervasive and influential idea.

Download or read book The Book Of Enoch written by Efren Gamboa and published by Book Venture Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Enoch was the first book ever written in any language. The language was described as the heavenly language; which today we know it as Hebrew. Hebrew was also the language of the first humans and all living things before the fall of man at the Garden of Eden. But because of the distribution of languages during the Tower of Babel; Hebrew was forgotten until the lifetime of Abraham. Abraham was taught the language by angels of God and he revive the Heavenly language upon the Earth. So, now days there will be other languages that will test more ancient then Hebrew through discoveries of things that have a written language upon it; that can be carbon tested for age; unless we can find the original books of Enoch; but until now only translations of the book have been found in other languages. In the Dead Sea scrolls the book of Enoch was found within the books revered as the books of the old testaments that were dated from 404 to 203 BCE. What they found was only a copy of the book and not the original. According to what language the manuscript is found; the rewriters gave the God of their religion the credit of being God creator; but the world knows that only the God of Israel had angels with the name of Michael, Gabriel and Ariel. All others have been copycats and have tried to include the names of what they call their own angels and gods and beliefs into the book of Enoch.

Download or read book Jaden s First Thirty Days in Heaven written by Ruth Robbins and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jaden, a nine-year-old boy, has an accident while riding his bike on the way to a friend's house. Having been struck by a car, he dies on the scene. He is taken to heaven on a bicycle built for two by an ancestor, and has a number of adventures and other types of experiences during his orientation school. Food lover that he is, many events involve food. Relatives give him a home and offer him friendship while he begins his wait for the rest of his family to rejoin him. He watches surround-sound videos of family history, his own history, and answers to prayer. He meets historical people in the sciences and music, and begins to learn music. His coaches for baseball include a new friend, and his daily Bible lessons with friends are led by Jesus himself. After thirty days (as measured by his sleep times), he graduates from Orientation School. His name, Jaden, comes from non-biblical Hebrew and means God (Ja-) Has Heard (-den). Many of his experiences during the first thirty days can be inferred from Bible passages as possible to experience in Heaven. I have also read many books which have included experiences which were interpreted as being of Heaven. One common thread is that the five senses were enhanced. Several mentioned seeing relatives. I have assumed that biblical characters are approachable as well as being teachers of the books that they wrote. Heaven being a real place for a prepared people, there will be no sin there, and all tears will be wiped away from our eyes. Who can even begin to comprehend what we can experience? We will have all eternity to be with our loving heavenly Father. Who can begin to understand what He has for us? Perhaps a novel like this can be a very small start in that direction.
