Burt Westermeier presents a timeline of major events spanning the Postclassical Period from 600-1450 CE. Key developments include the formation of the Ashikaga Shogunate in Japan, establishing feudalism and political independence from China; the Babylonian Captivity weakening the authority of the Roman Catholic Church; and the Hundred Years' War marking the rise of nation-states in Western Europe and the decline of mounted knights. Major military events include Charles Martel keeping Muslims out of Europe; the Mongols conquering Russia; and the Turks seizing Constantinople, ending the Byzantine Empire. Significant inventions were block printing, gunpowder, and new sailing techniques, while Muhammad's conquest of
The Glorious Revolution are the events between (1688-1689) that led to the replacement, in 1689, of James II by his daughter Mary II and her husband William of Orange (who became William III) as joint monarchs.
The Revolution has at least from two different points of view: The first one showed that William wanted to rescue Britain from Catholicism under the absolutist-style regime of James II.
The second one showed the ascension of William of Orange to the British Throne as an invasion motivated by real political and a personal lust for powers. On the one hand, James' rule of the British Isles was so cruel, so heavy-handed, so obviously an effort to restore the papacy to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland that his own people rose against him. By delegations from the nobility, William was invited to become the king. On the other hand, the only way in which William could become king of England was through invasion. On 19 October, William went on board, and the Dutch fleet.
Admiral Herbert led the van, and Vice-Admiral Evert Zen brought up the rear. The prince placed himself in the centre, carrying an English flag, emblazoned with his arms, surrounded with the legend, "For the Protestant Religion and Liberties of England." After landing successfully and without opposition; William marched on London and forced James to flee to France.
The throne was declared vacant by abdication, and William was pronounced king of all Britain on February 1689.
The Glorious Revolution created a workable form of government in Britain where the people could get things done through them. They did not have to have violent revolutions (as the people in France did). It also created a balance of power between the monarch and the Parliament.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
16. #10: Ashikaga Shogunate Formed (1336) The formation of theAshikaga Shogunate firmly established feudalism in Japan, eliminating the last vestiges of centralized government. This marked the beginning of a distinct Japanese political environment as distinct from China.
17. #9: Babylonian Captivity (1309-1378) Creating strong divisions and doubt within the Roman Catholic Church, the temporary dislocation of the papacy to France marked the beginning of the end of spiritual dominance in Western Europe, ushering in early nationalism and rule by secular monarchs.
18. #8: Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453) Another major factor in the rise of Western European nation-states; saw the use of the longbow en masse, signaling the end for the mounted knight and thus, feudalism.
19. #7: Battle of Tours (October 10, 732) Under Charles “the Hammer” Martel, the Franks keep the Muslims out of Western Europe.
20. #6: Mongols conquer Russia (1236-1240) The defining moment in pre-industrial Russian history; Russia is cut off from Western Europe for the next several centuries.
21. #5:Invention of block printing (c. 1050) A true communications revolution; a Chinese invention, but does not come to full fruition until the publication of Gutenberg Bible centuries later in W. Europe.
22. #4: Turks Seize Constantinople (1453) While technically this event is on the border of the postclassical and early modern periods, I place it here because it marks the final demise of the Byzantine Empire, the last remaining vestige of classical civilization.
23. #3:Invention of Gunpowder (c. 1100) A development in China that helped bring about the end of the postclassical period. Along with new sailing techniques and steel, gunpowder was a characteristic item of the early modern era.
24. #2:Muhammad Enters Mecca in Triumph (630) Having defeated his foes, Muhammad inaugurated the spread of the first global civilization, and a global religion, Islam.
25. #1: The Black Death The Black Death affected countless millions of people across the Eurasian subcontinent causing drastic political, economic, and cultural changes.
