The document describes the oppressive Roman world that existed when Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus. There was one state - Rome - and one master - Tiberius Caesar. The Roman government exercised power over all, and oppressed those who were not friends of Caesar through taxation, conscription, and persecution. Then Jesus came preaching a message of God's kingdom where people were free and treated each other with compassion. Paul warned that people must stand fast in the liberty brought by Christ and not allow themselves to be entangled again by powers that wish to dominate and oppress.

This document provides a summary of chapter 9 from the book "That One Face" which discusses the prophet Savonarola. It describes how Savonarola, like Dante before him, sought to deliver Florence from corrupt leaders through his preaching. As a Dominican monk in 15th century Florence, he denounced the corruption he saw in both the Church and state. He played a key role in the government that overthrew the Medici family and instituted political and moral reforms. Savonarola believed stable institutions required a moral foundation and that the prophet's role was to create a public conscience to guide government according to moral principles.

Paul and his companions traveled from Troas to Philippi, a major city in Macedonia and Roman colony. There, Paul converted Lydia and her household to Christianity. Paul also cast a spirit of divination out of a slave girl, angering her owners who had profited from her fortunetelling. As a result, Paul and Silas were beaten and imprisoned. That night in prison, an earthquake occurred and their bonds were loosed. The jailer and his household were then converted after Paul and Silas told him the way of salvation. Paul would later write a letter to the Philippians church from prison, encouraging them in their faith.
H114 Meeting 3: Why Do We Celebrate Columbus Day6500jmk4
We celebrate Columbus Day to commemorate Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492 that opened the Americas to permanent European colonization. However, Columbus's arrival also devastated indigenous populations through violence, disease, and enslavement. While textbooks often portray Columbus as a heroic explorer, historians emphasize the genocide and exploitation of native peoples that resulted from European colonization. There is a debate around whether Columbus Day should continue to be celebrated without also acknowledging these darker aspects of history.
1. The document discusses whether Jesus truly lived on earth and examines evidence from both secular and biblical sources.
2. Several sources referenced, including Roman historians Tacitus and Josephus, acknowledge Jesus as a historical figure who lived in 1st century Judea and was executed under Pontius Pilate.
3. The New Testament texts themselves, dating from 40-70 AD, are considered reliable historical sources that were written within the lifetimes of eyewitnesses by the authors cited in the documents.

A Step Back In Time: The Capture Of Jerusalem - Prophecy In The News Magazin...miscott57
The capture of Jerusalem in 1917 by British forces was viewed as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy by many Christian leaders and ministers at the time. It marked the beginning of the decline of Turkish rule over the Holy City and the weakening of Islamic dominance in the region. Many saw the British liberation of Jerusalem as a pivotal moment signaling that the prophecies regarding the end times were unfolding.
This document discusses several key terms and events from the biblical book of Daniel and Revelation regarding end-time prophecies. It explains that the "time of the end" refers to a period when knowledge and travel greatly increase. It identifies the "king of the south" as atheistic France during its revolution and the "king of the north" as the Papacy. It details historical events in 1798 and the late 20th century that mark the prophesied interactions between these powers. The document explores symbols like "chariots," "ships," and countries being "overflowed" in the context of these end-time events.
This document summarizes how people form pictures or images in their minds of the external world based on limited information. It provides three examples:
1) Islanders in 1914 who were unaware for 6 weeks that World War 1 had started due to lack of communication, showing how quickly situations can change from what people believe.
2) Historical figures like St. Ambrose and Cosmas who held inaccurate pictures of the world based on religious texts that prevented exploration and scientific progress.
3) How public figures throughout history have been viewed through symbolic or fictional personalities in people's minds, often far different than the real person, as seen with Queen Victoria, Lincoln, and French general Joffre who was viewed as divine by
1) Emperor Augustus brought peace and stability to Rome after years of civil war, but established an autocratic system that ended the Roman Republic.
2) Caligula completed public works projects but became an oppressive and erratic ruler, putting some senators to death and humiliating others.
3) Nero blamed Christians for the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE and had many executed in cruel ways, increasing persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.
This document discusses the complex relationship between Christianity, race, and sexuality throughout history. It describes how Christianity has been used to justify the oppression and harm of racial and ethnic groups, including the genocide of Native Americans, transatlantic slavery, and colonialism. It also discusses how Christian doctrines and leaders have promoted anti-Semitism, homophobia, and the subjugation of women. However, the document argues that Jesus taught a radical message of inclusion and justice for the marginalized that has often been undermined or ignored.
1) The document discusses biblical prophecies about a one world government, religion, and economic system that will persecute Christians.
2) It describes historical figures like Nebuchadnezzar, Caesar Nero, and Muhammad who tried to impose singular rule and how Christians resisted them.
3) The key is for Christians to have their thinking and actions governed by God's word alone, rather than conforming to the world or devilish systems. Resisting the beast requires fearing God and obeying him over all.
The document discusses the fulfillment of Bible prophecies during the French Revolution:
1) Revelation 11 prophesied that a power would rise and "make war" on the Bible, which was fulfilled when France publicly prohibited the Bible during the revolution.
2) For three and a half years the "witnesses" (the Bible) "lay dead" in France, but were then tolerated again, fulfilling the prophecy of the witnesses standing on their feet.
3) As the Bible's influence grew globally after this, it fulfilled the call to "come up hither" in Revelation 11:12.
4) The social upheaval and destruction during the revolution, particularly of the nobility, fulfilled prophe
This document discusses how the French Revolution fulfilled Bible prophecy about the two witnesses being killed and lying dead for three and a half days in Revelation 11. It provides historical context about France banning the Bible in 1793 and the reign of terror that followed. During this time, atheism and licentiousness spread as the testimony of God's witnesses was silenced. However, the Bible was then tolerated again in France after three and a half years, just as the prophecy foretold. The document examines various events of the French Revolution through the lens of different Bible prophecies.

This is a study of Jesus welcoming outsiders. Just because one is not a part of a certain group, but is not against the Lord, they are welcome by Jesus to serve the Kingdom of God.
This sermon was delivered by the Prophet Muhammad on the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah in the 10th year of Hijrah in front of approximately 140,000 companions. The Prophet warns his followers not to oppress each other and to treat women, minorities, and others with fairness and equality. He emphasizes worshipping Allah through prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage. The Prophet says that no new prophet or faith will come after him and instructs the people to follow the Quran and his teachings.
- Joseph Smith prophesied on May 6, 1843 to Edwin Rushton and Theodore Turley about the future of the Latter-day Saints and the United States.
- He said the Latter-day Saints would be established in the Rocky Mountains, called the "White Horse of Peace and Safety," becoming very wealthy from minerals.
- Smith also prophesied that the U.S. Constitution would be hanging by a thread and that a terrible revolution would occur, with the Rocky Mountains being a refuge of safety.
Brochure - NEW REVELATION - About the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - ed 1Simona P
The document discusses the signs of the future and the second coming of Christ as described in the New Testament and elaborated on in the New Revelation. It begins with an analysis of Luke 21:25-26 about signs in the sun, moon, stars and distress among nations. It says most preachers explain these signs through a political lens rather than a spiritual one. It predicts the destruction of religious systems that have become corrupt and stagnant, to make way for a new spiritual temple founded by Christ.
This document is an excerpt from Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities. It describes the setting of 18th century London and Paris before the French Revolution. Specifically, it summarizes the political and social unrest in both countries. In London, crime runs rampant on the streets. In Paris, the clergy and aristocracy oppress the people. The excerpt then follows three passengers traveling by coach from Dover to London. One passenger, Jarvis Lorry, receives a mysterious message to "wait at Dover for Mam'selle."
The document summarizes Daniel 10-12 and provides commentary on the prophecies regarding the rise of Papal Rome to power in the end times. It describes how France attacked the Papacy in 1798, fulfilling the prophecy of the "King of the South pushing at" the Papacy. It then discusses how the Papacy regained power in 1989 with the fall of the Soviet Union, fulfilling the prophecy of the "King of the North coming against [the King of the South] like a whirlwind." It predicts the Papacy will next overcome the separation of church and state in the US and national sovereignty worldwide to enact a global Sunday law, leading to the close of probation.
CHRISTIAN SUPERNATURAL TEACHINGS, BIBLE CLASS LESSONS, GOSPELS BY LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU, THE SUPERNATURAL TEACHER AND SOLE SPIRITUAL HEAD, BROTHERHOOD OF THE CROSS AND STAR
The document discusses interpretations of passages from the Book of Revelation about beasts and a dragon that represent corrupt governments and Satan. It argues that one beast government will become very powerful and popular globally, resembling aspects of communism, fascism, and capitalism. This beast will persecute Christians and demand worship, forcing people to receive a mark to buy or sell. The number of the beast is identified as 666. Overall the passage suggests that a future one world government will emerge that persecutes believers but will ultimately fail when Jesus returns.
This document provides an excerpt from the book "Ahiman Rezon" published in 1756 by Laurence Dermott. The excerpt discusses the origins and meaning of the title "Ahiman Rezon" and provides background on Dermott and the book. It describes how Dermott intended to write a history of Masonry but became distracted and fell asleep, having a dream involving four brothers who provided information about Solomon's Temple to help with his project.
Picture of Dorian by Oscar WIlde review by AHallerAlan Haller
The novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde tells the story of Dorian Gray, a handsome young man whose portrait ages instead of himself after he expresses a desire for the portrait to age in his place. Dorian then pursues a libertine life of pleasure and vice influenced by his friend Lord Henry Wotton. Over time, Dorian's portrait reflects his moral decay and sins through its increasing ugliness. In the end, in a struggle with his conscience and the corrupted portrait of his soul, Dorian kills his portrait and himself.

Essay Henry Patino Messianic Expectations of the Second TempleAlan Haller
1) The document discusses the differing views on the Messiah that existed among Second Temple Jews, including the Essenes. The Essenes believed in two Messiahs described in scripture - a priestly Messiah and a military Messiah.
2) Evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls supports the Essenes' view of a dual Messiah, with passages describing the priestly Messiah performing acts like healing the sick and a military Messiah leading armies.
3) The ministry of Jesus aligned with the priestly Messiah as described in the Dead Sea Scrolls and prophesied in scripture, such as healing the blind and preaching to the poor, contrary to the views of the
Pound of Flesh from Shakespeare Merchant of VeniceAlan Haller
Portia delivers a famous speech in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice pleading for mercy. She argues that mercy is a natural human quality that benefits both the recipient and the giver. It is even more becoming of those in positions of power, like monarchs, as it shows them following God's example of mercy. While Shylock demands justice through his bond, Portia says true justice is seasoned with mercy, and without it, none can expect salvation. She aims to temper Shylock's plea with mercy, but if he insists on strict justice, the court will have to rule against Antonio.
Pinocchio Personalized December 2023.pdfAlan Haller
The document provides a 3-part summary of Pinocchio's journey of conformity, pleasure-seeking, and finding purpose through self-sacrifice as told in the story. In part 1, Pinocchio leaves the safety of home and conforms to please others, ignoring his conscience. In part 2, he yields to short-lived pleasures on Pleasure Island and acts foolishly. In part 3, Pinocchio nearly drowns saving his father Geppetto, but is revived and learns life is about honesty, integrity, and self-sacrifice rather than selfishness.
Doom a Historical Collection of Catastrophes and Future PredictionsAlan Haller
The document summarizes key points from a book about catastrophes and disasters throughout history. It discusses how every generation faces calamities from wars, famines and diseases. It explores different types of disasters like "gray rhinos" that are highly probable, predictable events versus "black swans" that are assumed to be highly improbable. It examines how ideas and diseases can spread contagiously through social networks. It also discusses historical plagues and epidemics as well as examples of political and military incompetence exacerbating catastrophes. The document concludes with an interview discussing the book's themes of unintended consequences, the nonlinear nature of the world, and the challenges of addressing uncertainties around potential disasters.
This document summarizes a lecture on truth given by A Haller for Math Awareness Week at Palm Beach State College in 2019. The lecture discusses different types of truth, including historical truth based on evidence from the past, empirical truth determined through the scientific method and testing in the present, and predictive truth about forecasting the future. It also addresses personal experiences of truth and how truth can be distorted. The lecture warns that in a "post-truth" era, appeals to emotion and belief may outweigh facts, and that the loss of a shared concept of truth could undermine freedom, trust and the ability to distinguish deception.
This document summarizes the biblical story of Jesus visiting the home of Simon the Pharisee, where a grieving woman anoints Jesus' feet. It describes how the Pharisee showed disrespect to Jesus by not properly greeting or welcoming him, while the woman honored Jesus through her actions and gestures of anointing his feet. The event revealed to the Pharisee that Jesus has the power to forgive sins and exposed the Pharisee's mistaken view of himself as not being in need of forgiveness.
The document argues against evolution and for intelligent design and creationism by making several key points:
1) Evolution cannot explain the origin of complex biological structures like DNA and the flagellum that appear to be irreducibly complex and could not have evolved step-by-step.
2) The sudden appearance of new life forms in the Cambrian explosion and other periods in the fossil record is inconsistent with gradual evolution over long periods of time.
3) The fine-tuning of the constants and initial conditions of the universe required for life to exist point to purposeful design rather than being the result of random chance.
4) A theistic explanation that posits a supernatural intelligent cause provides a more
The document discusses three scientific discoveries that provide evidence for intelligent design in the universe:
1) The Big Bang Theory suggests the universe had a beginning, raising the question of how something can come from nothing without a creator.
2) The fine-tuning of physical constants and conditions necessary for life suggests the universe was designed for life.
3) The immense complexity of DNA, which stores genetic information like a digital code, implies it could not have arisen through naturalistic processes and points to an intelligent creator.
A loose cannon aboard a ship threatens to destroy the vessel as it careens unpredictably across the deck, crushing crew members in its path. The captain orders anything that can be thrown below deck to try and slow it, but to no avail as the cannon continues its rampage. Their only hope is the gunner who caused the accident by failing to properly secure the cannon - he boldly confronts the cannon, using an iron bar and rope to try and subdue it in a terrifying, life-or-death battle between man and machine.
The document is a song about a stranger who sees an angel's face and feels transported out of the ordinary into a rare place. The stranger pleads with the angel to answer his prayer and not send him into despair, but instead to open her arms to him so that he is no longer a stranger in paradise. The chorus repeats that the singer saw the angel's face and was lifted out of the ordinary into a suspended place until he knows if the angel cares for him.

The document summarizes the biblical story of Adam and Eve's fall from grace in the Garden of Eden. It describes how Eve was deceived by the serpent into eating the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, which led to Adam also eating the fruit despite knowing it was forbidden. As a result, they were banished from the garden and condemned to mortality. The document contrasts their disobedience and fall with Jesus Christ, the "second Adam," who through his obedience and sacrifice provides the opportunity for salvation and eternal life for mankind.
The document discusses evidence that supports the reliability of the New Testament manuscripts:
1. There are over 5,600 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament from the early centuries, far more than other documents from antiquity, demonstrating it was widely copied and distributed.
2. Early manuscripts like Codex Sinaiticus from 350AD contain the same text as later manuscripts, showing careful copying over generations preserved the content.

The document summarizes the history and teachings of Mormonism. It outlines that Joseph Smith founded the religion in 1820 after claiming visions of heavenly beings. Smith published the Book of Mormon in 1830 based on golden plates he uncovered. The religion grew and moved west under Brigham Young's leadership. Core Mormon teachings include that God was once a man, humans can become gods, and salvation requires faith and works. The document notes inconsistencies between Mormon scriptures and the Bible, as well as changes made to Mormon texts over time.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Paul of Tarsus
2. When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the
whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one
state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and
he was Tiberius Caesar.
Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the
Roman law was long.
Everywhere there was stability, in government and in
society, for the centurions saw that it was so.
but Everywhere there was something else, too.
There was oppression -- for those who were not the
friends of Tiberius Caesar.
There was the tax gatherer to take the grain from the fields and
the flax from the spindle to feed the legions or to fill the hungry
treasury from which Divine Caesar gave largess to the people.
There was the impresser (coercer into government service) to
find recruits for the circuses.
There were executioners to quiet those whom the Emperor
proscribed.
What was a man for but to serve Caesar?

Violence and
Death
Culture of

There was the persecution
of men who dared think
differently, who heard strange
voices or read strange
manuscripts.
There was enslavement of men
whose tribes came not from Rome,
disdain for those who did not have the
familiar visage.
And most of all, there was
everywhere a contempt for human
life. What, to the strong, was one
man more or less in a crowded
world?
4. Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from
Galilee saying, “Render unto Caesar the things which are
Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's.”
And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar,
offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk
upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of
Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.
So the light came into the world and
the men who lived in darkness were
afraid, and they tried to lower a
curtain so that man would still believe
salvation lay with the leaders
5. But it came to pass for a while in divers
places that the truth did set man free,
although the men of darkness were
offended, and they tried to put out the light.
The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you
have the light, lest darkness come upon
you, for he that walketh in darkness knows
not whither he goes.
6. Along the road to Damascus the light
shone brightly. But afterward Paul of
Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared
that other Caesars, other prophets,
might one day persuade men that man
was nothing save a servant unto them,
that men might yield up their
birthright from God for pottage and
walk no more in freedom. Then might
it come to pass that darkness would
settle again over the lands and there
7. And so, Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man,
spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words
he would have us remember afterward in each
of the years of his Lord:
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ
has made us free and be not entangled again with the
yoke of bondage.
8. Current Caesars throughout the world. They
wish to dominate and return us to 33AD.
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ has made us free and be not entangled
again with the yoke of bondage.

Combined with background music from movie Gladiator - may need to take down due to music copyright concerns yet it could be considered fair use. Amazing how the written can be visualized with PPT or other video editors and come alive with music
