The document provides background information on John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost. It discusses the dates of early publications of the poem in the 17th century. It also provides historical context about the Commonwealth Period in England when Milton wrote the poem. The summary briefly outlines Milton's life and involvement in English politics at the time. It also includes a list of the 12 books that make up Paradise Lost and their subject matter.
Published in 1667 by England’s most scholarly poet John Milton, ‘Paradise Lost’ is the only epic in English till date.
Milton is still the greatest English poet for both his ‘Grand Style’ and ‘Elevated theme’.
Instead of following Homer, Milton followed Virgil and Dante to give his epic a distinct Englishness.
Milton’s Grandfather, Richard Milton was the owner of Oxford-shire County.
“Three poets in three distant ages born
Greece, Italy and England did adorn;
The first in loftiness of thought surpassed.
The second in majesty; in both the last.”
In the last two books of the epic, Milton includes almost a complete summary of Genesis. This lengthy section may seem anti-climactic, but Milton's mission was to show not only what caused man's fall, but also the consequences upon the world, both bad and good. A concept central to this tale is that of the “felix culpa” or fortunate fall. This is the philosophy that the good which ultimately evolves as a result of the fall—God's mercy, the coming of Christ, redemption and salvation—leaves us in a better place, with opportunity for greater good than would have been possible without the fall.

The idea of Doomsday with its first century End Time ideas has never been adequately explained. Yet 'The End is Nigh' philosophy still hangs around in the twenty-first century with robust tenacity. After 2000 years of looking away from the first century Futurism is the preferred explanation. What did we miss? Whatever it is it must be subtle and very different from present explanations that turn their backs to the first century and toward our own.
But hey, wait a minute! What did Jesus say again? "Truly I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away until all these things come to pass." Mtt 24:34. What if....???
What if He really meant what He said? What if He was talking to His contemporary generation and not us? What if WE are looking the wrong way when we skip the first century and face our third millennium future? What if He was right and WE are wrong? What if it is a matter of a modern mind misunderstanding an ancient book? What if we are just repeating an unfruitful formula of Futurism by ignoring Jesus? And what are the fruits of Futurism? What does a thousand-year historical review of Futurism demonstrate?

and polish of the golden age Roman poets Virgil and
Horace. Largely self-taught (in his time Roman Catholics
were barred from attending English universities), Pope
defended the value of education in Greek and Latin; his
own love of the classics inspired him to produce new translations
of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. “A little learning is a
dangerous thing,” warned Pope in pleading for a broader
and more thorough survey of the past.
Pope’s poetry is as controlled and refined as a Poussin
painting or a Bach fugue. His choice of the heroic couplet
for most of his numerous satires, as well as for his translations
of Homer, reflects his commitment to the fundamentals
of balance and order. The concentrated brilliance and
polish of each two-rhymed line bears out his claim that
“True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,/As those
move easiest who have learned to dance.”
Pope’s most famous poem was his Essay on Man. Like
Milton’s Paradise Lost, but on a smaller scale, the Essay tries
to assess humankind’s place in the universal scheme. But
whereas Milton explained evil in terms of human will,
Pope—a Catholic turned deist—envisioned evil as part of
God’s design fo.
The Antichrist And His Kingdom Daniel 7: 7 And behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 23 The fourth beast shall be: a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all other kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, trample it and break it in pieces. Daniel 8: 23 ...When the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. Rev. 13: 4 And they worshipped the beast (Antichrist), saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 7 ... And power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him.
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…

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.

Adam and Eve in the Morning go forth to thir labours, which Eve proposes to divide in several places, each labouring apart: Adam consents not, alledging the danger, lest that Enemy, of whom they were forewarn'd, should attempt her found alone: Eve loath to be thought not circumspect or firm enough, urges her going apart, the rather desirous to make tryal of her strength; Adam at last yields: The Serpent finds her alone; his subtle approach, first gazing, then speaking, with much flattery extolling Eve above all other Creatures. Eve wondring to hear the Serpent speak, asks how he attain'd to human speech and such understanding not till now; the Serpent answers, that by tasting of a certain Tree in the Garden he attain'd both to Speech and Reason, till then void of both: Eve requires him to bring her to that Tree, and finds it to be the Tree of Knowledge forbidden...

12. Genesis; King James Version IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.... ...And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

13. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Version 2 Genesis 2:15-25 Should God create another Eve, and I Another Rib afford, yet loss of thee Would never from my heart; no no, I feel The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh, Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe. - Book 9: lines 910-915 focus shifted from the works of God, to the “human” condition
