The document discusses Psalm 23 and how it can be interpreted to acknowledge racial injustice. It notes that when the psalm speaks of walking through "the valley of the shadow of death," this valley represents real challenges that black and brown people unjustly face due to racism, such as police brutality and an implicitly biased system. When the psalm is prayed, believers are invited to empathize with these experiences and advocate for lifting up such valleys of injustice. The document urges using Psalm 23 and other scripture to expose one's own biases and imagine how to dismantle inequities and renew society with God's transforming power and vision of justice.
Jesus prayed fervently in Gethsemane before his crucifixion. He prayed with loud cries and tears to God, asking to be saved from death. God heard Jesus' prayers because of his deep reverence and submission to God's will. Even though Jesus wished to avoid death, he submitted fully to God's plan. Jesus' suffering and obedience to God were completed through his crucifixion.
What does the bible say about heaven and hell by arnold torresArnold Torres
This document provides an overview of what the Bible says about heaven and hell based on a sermon given by Arnold Torres. It discusses three main points: 1) The attitude of the world, noting many people live without direction or understanding of their ultimate destination. 2) The description of hell as an unpleasant place separated from God's presence. 3) The description of heaven as paradise in God's presence, with John's vision in Revelation highlighting the glory and worship surrounding God's throne. The overall aim is to clarify the biblical concepts of heaven and hell and encourage ensuring one's destiny is heaven.
Seeing and Savoring Jesus in book 2 of the PsalmsMichael Scaman
This document provides an overview and analysis of Jesus as seen in Psalms 42-72. It discusses how these Psalms depict Jesus through depictions of depression, persecution, wedding imagery, and ascension. Key points made include:
- Psalms 42-47 depict dealing with depression and end with a wedding, pointing to Jesus.
- Psalms 45 depicts Jesus as the wedding king in a love song.
- Psalms 68 depicts the Ark as representing Jesus' ascension.
- Psalms 69 depicts Jesus' rejection, opposition, and betrayal.
This document introduces some of the names of Allah found in the Quran, beginning with Al-'Asim (The Protector). It explains that humans are weak and can face difficulties at any time, from natural disasters to personal troubles, and that their only true protector is Allah. It continues explaining other names like Al-Baqi (The Lasting), noting that all things will cease to exist except Allah. It emphasizes Allah's power as the Creator, Preserver, and Giver of life and defines several other names and attributes, always citing relevant verses from the Quran.
This is vol. 3 of a study of Jesus as a hell fire preacher. Many have studied and written on this passage of Scripture dealing with the rich man in hell, and so we have much to learn about hell from it.
The document provides guidance for selecting scripture readings for a Roman Catholic funeral mass. It lists a number of options for the first reading (typically from the Old Testament), second reading (New Testament), and Gospel reading. It explains that the first two readings can be read by members of the family, while the priest will read the Gospel. The selections are meant to provide comfort and wisdom during the difficult time of loss. Families should review the options and let the presiding priest know which passages they choose to help memorialize their loved one.

1. The Quran contains stories of prophets, accounts of past nations as moral lessons, and examples/parables to explain beliefs.
2. It aims to give guidance through these narratives rather than serve as a historical record.
3. Repeating stories tries the ear of the listener to imprint lessons. Telling of past peoples provides evidence for prophethood of Muhammad, who was unlettered.
This chapter discusses beliefs about jinn from an Islamic perspective. It establishes that both the Quran and hadiths confirm the existence of jinn. The Quran describes jinn as being created from smokeless fire. Modern science cannot fully explain the unseen worlds of jinn and angels. The chapter provides details on the creation of jinn and their physical origin from the perspectives of Islamic scripture. It seeks to address questions about how jinn can interact with humans and be affected if created from fire originally. Overall, it outlines core Islamic teachings about the nature and existence of jinn.
The content for this presentation on the Tafseer of Surah Al-Mulk is taken from the book 'An Enlightening Commentary into the Holy Quran' which is a translation of Tafsir e Namuna.

This document discusses Jesus' use of parables to teach gospel truths. It provides context about parables and their purpose. It then analyzes Jesus' parable of the wheat and tares, explaining that the parable teaches that the righteous and wicked will grow together until the final judgment. It stresses that we should not hastily judge others and should focus on applying gospel principles in our own lives. The document concludes by emphasizing that true understanding of Christ's parables comes from living their principles, not just studying them intellectually.
A humble effort on demonstrating how I personally feel that the amazing Sura Kahf is just more than four random stories. I found it extremely fascinating and mesmerizing to discover how these stories are actually tied with our four basic parts of natural and how it has the solution to tackle the greatest trial of human history, the trial of Masih Dajjal or the Anti-Christ with its timeless principles.

The Jewish concept of the afterlife evolved over time. Early beliefs centered around Sheol, a dreary underground place where all dead souls went regardless of righteousness. Later, influence from Zoroastrianism and Greek thought led to ideas of an eternal paradise for the righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked. By Talmudic times, Judaism taught of a heavenly paradise called Olam Ha-Ba where the righteous receive rewards proportional to their deeds, while sinners face Gehenna or loss of the afterlife.
This document provides an analysis of Jeremiah 8-10 from the Bible. It discusses how the people had strayed from God and were wicked, but God offered repentance. However, the people refused to repent despite warnings. Their ways were characterized by stubbornness, ignorance of God's judgments, and claiming to know God's teachings but not following them. Their society lacked faith, kindness, justice and righteousness. It focused too much on wealth, strength and wisdom instead of God. It treated idols as things of veneration like God, but idols have no enduring value or life in them.
How is COVID-19 different from previous pandemics in history? How does the Coronavirus compare to future pestilences prophesied in the Bible? Do you think God sent the Coronavirus as a harbinger of future pandemics? If so, what should be learn about God and ourselves during COVID-19? As Christians how should we respond to pandemics? Do you have peace and hope? Why? How is your life, currently, giving others, especially non-Christians, cause to ask you for “an answer (lit. the reason) for the hope that lies in you”? (1 Peter 3:15)
The document discusses the first vision described in the Book of Daniel, in which Daniel sees four beasts emerging from the sea. It argues that the first three beasts represent the earliest ancient civilizations - Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Media-Persia. It provides historical and scientific evidence to support identifying the first beast as Egypt, noting Egypt's early dominance in the region and the development of civilization there around 9000 BC as modern humans emerged. The document explores various interpretations and theories regarding reconciling descriptions of creation and early humanity in the Bible with scientific understandings.
This document discusses God's judgment as outlined in the book of Revelation through the seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven vials. It provides details on the fulfillment of each seal and trumpet, linking historical events like the two world wars, Chernobyl disaster, and Gulf War to the prophecies. The sixth trumpet is described as a coming Third World War that will kill one third of the world's population, known as the battle of Armageddon. The United Nations is prophesied to gain more power and security council members after WWIII.
The document summarizes 8 facts about the Antichrist from the biblical book of Revelation. It states that the Antichrist will receive his power from Satan, the whole world will follow him due to being healed of a fatal wound, and people will worship Satan for empowering the Antichrist. Additionally, the Antichrist will rule for 42 months, wage war against Christians conquering them worldwide, and Christians will be killed or imprisoned if they do not accept his mark. A false prophet will perform miracles promoting the Antichrist and forcing people to worship him.
1. The document describes visions from the books of Daniel and Revelation involving symbols of beasts representing kingdoms.
2. It identifies the beasts as representing Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome and its divided states.
3. It argues that the "little horn" power that persecuted God's people for 1260 years represents the Papacy, based on characteristics from the visions like having eyes and a boastful mouth.

1. The document provides commentary on Quranic verses describing what happens when the soul leaves the body at death. It explains that the soul departs from the collarbone and it is too late then to correct mistakes.
2. It discusses how humans may forget that Allah owns their souls and take guidance lightly. The opportunities to repent end at the pains of death.
3. The verses and commentary serve as a warning about neglecting righteousness and delaying repentance until death, when it is too late. The deceptions of this life will disappear at death for disbelievers when reality is clear.

This paper addresses the difficulties of naming places in Ireland, the work done by the OS Topographical Dept. and especially John O'Donovan to ensure that names used on the 6" maps were as accurate as possible. The difficulties presented by the Irish language, the methodologies used by Placenames staff and the tensions between accommodating the Irish language origins or versions of names and later Anglicised forms are discussed, as are the compromises which were made. The accuracy of O'Donovan's method is assessed

Herity focusses on the period 1830-61 and O'Donovan's involvement with the OS 6" mapping project and the centrality of his role. His expertise in the Irish language and grasp of etymology, as well as his intimate knowledge of the history and antiquities of Ireland, resulted in the connection of 'placenames with history... raising them above mere words'. The importance of O'Donovan's fieldwork, keen ear, in-depth knowledge and forensic research are described, as are the treks he engaged in on a daily basis throughout the country. His connection with Petrie's work on Tara is adverted to. Betham's vituperative criticisms and the consequent scrutiny of the Memoir scheme and the OS work is discussed. Examples are provided of O'Donovan's linguistic prowess and his acerbic wit.

Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis: Population and Settlement - Rob KitchinThe Royal Irish Academy
Royal Irish Academy Conference: Spatial Justice and the Irish Crisis
23 April, 2013, Academy House
The on-going crisis and associated responses to it (political, governance, popular etc.) provides an entry point for a wide-ranging exploration of spatial justice as a theoretical construct and a departure point for empirical analysis. Discourses of justice, equality and fairness remain central to a range of interconnected debates as Ireland seeks to recover from the interrelated collapses of the banking system and property markets and the knock on effects through the rest of society and the economy. Scale is an important dimension in framing and constructing popular discourses concerning issues of justice, e.g. the role of EU institutions in shaping Ireland’s treatment of banking debt or the impact of national budgetary measures on particular places. The focus of this conference is on understanding these spatially connected processes, how they are functioning at different scales, their impact on particular or specific places and spaces, as they give rise to new or evolving social and economic geographies.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

(‘Now the general resurrection which shall be beyond on the Day of Judgment is not the same as the
resurrection which in the authority is called praestrigia, that is, an apparitional resurrection, like the
pythonism. Nor is it the same as the resurrection called revolutio, that is, the transmigration of the soul into
various bodies, after the example of the transmigrated persons. Nor the resurrection called metaformatio, that
is, transfiguration, after the example of werewolves. Nor is it the same as the resurrection called subductio,
that is subduction, as in the case of the prematurely dead. Nor the resurrection called suscitatio, that is, the
awakening of the dead by a miracle, after the example of Lazarus.’, trans. Stokes, ‘The Tidings’, §33)

(‘There will be there, moreover, sorrow and groaning, weeping and wailing, sighs and screaming, from
every single mouth. And ceaseless malediction from the sinners on their abbot, i.e. on the Devil, for what
makes them suffer is everything they did at his instigation; and a malediction, moreover, from him on his
monks around him, i.e. on the sinners, because his own pain is greater for every evil that they did through
his persuasion, on account of him inducing every evil.’, my translation)
Cf. Würzburg gloss in Stokes and Strachan, Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus I, 665, gloss 26a8: ‘gebtit iudei i n-apid’
(‘the Jews will receive him as abbot’) – as far as I am aware, this is the only other Irish example of the Devil being
described as an abbot.

2. 3. Matthew 25:31-46 (Vulgate) (italics denote the words which are excluded from the Irish translation of this
biblical passage in Scéla laí brátha, taken from Mac Gearailt, ‘The Middle Irish Homily’, p. 93)
Cum autem venerit Filius hominis in maiestate sua et omnes angeli cum eo tunc sedebit super sedem
maiestatis suae
Et congreganuntur ante eum omnes gentes et separabit eos ab invicem sicut pastor segregat oves ab hedis
Et statuet oves quidem a dextris suis hedos autem a sinistris.
Tunc dicet rex his qui a dextris eius erunt venite benedicti Patris mei possidete paratum vobis regnum a
constitutione mundi
Esurivi enim et dedistis mihi manducare sitivi et dedistis mihi bibere hospes eram et collexistis me nudus et
operuistis me infirmus et visitastis me in carcere eram et venistis ad me
Tunc respondebunt ei iusti dicentes Domine quando te vidimus esurientem et pavimus sitientem et dedimus
tibi potem
quando atuem te vidimus hospitem et colleximus te aut nudum et cooperuimus
aut quando te vidimus infirmum aut in carcere et venimus ad te
Et respondens rex dicet illis amen dico vobis quamdiu fecistis uni de his fratribus meis minimis mihi fecistis
Tunc dicet et his qui a sinistris erunt Discedite a me maledicti in ignem aeternum qui paratus est diabolo et
angelis eius
Esurivi enim et non dedistis mihi manducare sitivi et non dedistis mihi potum
hospes eram et non collexistis me nudus et non operuistis me infirmus et in carcere et non visitastis me
Tunc respondebunt et ipsi dicentes Domine quando te vidimus esurientem aut sitientem aut hospitem aut
nudum aut infirmum vel in carcere et non ministravimus tibi
Tunc respondebit illis dicens amen dico vobis quamdiu non fecistis uni de minoribus his nec mihi fecistis
Et ibunt hii in supplicium aeternum iusti autem in vitam aeternam

aforesaid, until the great Parliament of Doom, when the righteous judge, on the Day of Judgment, shall
dispose them in their stations and abiding places, where they shall contemplate God’s countenance, with no

3. (‘It is then that the divine judge shall appear in that form in which he was judged by a human judge. It is then
that he himself will judge men justly in the form in which he was judged unjustly by men.’, my translation)
Cf. other uses of antonyms (ecnae/anecnae; eólas/aneólas; etc.) and heavy use of philosophical vocabulary (adbar;
aicned; dliged; folud; teorfégad) and Latin loanwords (augtartás (auctoritas); intliucht (intellectus); scrútan
(scrutinium); teor[fégad] (theoria); umallóit (humilitatem)) throughout.

(‘It is a fire for burning; it is a lash for flogging; it is a blade for lacerating; it is a night for blinding; it is
smoke for suffocating; it is a cross for torturing; it is a sword for vengeance; it is terrifying weaponry for
wounding and mutilating; it is a screaming of pains; it is a multitude of tortures. It is a drowning; a plaguing;
a dragging; a pounding; a flooding; an ebbing; a hardship; a hacking; a burning; a swallowing. It is high, low,

(‘But when he bethought him to rest and tarry in that land, he heard, through the veil, the angel’s voice
enjoining him to return again into that body whence he had departed, and to rehearse in courts and
assemblies, and in the great congregations of laymen and of clerics, the rewards of Heaven and the pains of
Hell, even as his guardian angel had revealed them to him’, trans. Boswell, An Irish Precursor, p. 44, §31)
9. Biblical quotations in Latin and Irish:

Is ed at bera fríu oca cur i n-iffern: Scuchaid dím a mallachtnachu 7 ercid isin tenid suthain ro faíred do

Is dochum iffirnn immurgu cartfaid in Coimdiu na pecthachu i llaithiu brátho, a nasmbéra friu: Ite

o Old-Irish Homily (Dublin RIA 535 [23 P 2]), ed. Meyer, §4
Is docum ifrinn chartfus in Coimdiu [n]a pect[th]achu il-laithi brátha a n-asmbéra friu: Ite maledicti ignem

o Sermo ad reges (LB 39b7), ed. Atkinson, p. 161 (Irish) and p. 418 (Latin)
Discedite a me maledicti in ignem eternum qui p[re]paratus est Diabulo et angelis eius. Scuchaid uam a
mallachtnachu isin purgatoir suthain ro fuired do Diabul cona drochmuntir.

4. o Don Almsain (LB 71b30), ed. Atkinson, p. 213 (Irish) and p. 450 (Latin)
Discedite a me maledicti in ignem eternum qui preparatus est diabolo et angelis eis. Scuchaid uaim a
mallachtnachu isin tenid suthain ro fuíred do diabul cona drochmuintir 7 dia dóecurshluag.
Cf. examples of same process in LU vis-à-vis LB version of Fís Adomnáin (Mac Eoin, ‘Observations’, pp. 196-7),
and – significantly – ibid., p. 198, where instances of precept (and related words) in the LB version of Fís Adomnáin
have become forcetol or scél in the LU version.
