William Blake as a poet
William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. He practiced engraving throughout his life but was also deeply interested in political and social issues of his time. Blake supported causes like the French Revolution and abolition of slavery. He saw imagination and visions as a way to understand the world beyond rationalism. Blake is known for his illuminated printing, combining text and images, and illustrations for books. His collections Songs of Innocence and of Experience use simple language and symbolism to contrast childhood purity with the injustices of adult experience.
Waiting for Godot, use of imagery and symbolims
Beckett is believed to have said that the name Godot comes from the French "godillot" meaning a military boot. Beckett fought in the war and so spending long periods of time waiting for messages to arrive would have been commonplace for him. The more common interpretation that it might mean "God" is almost certainly wrong. Beckett apparently stated that if he had meant "God," he would have written "God". Godot: it is relatively common name in French

A Study of Poetry | Critical Essay by Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold's essay criticizes poetry and criticism. He argues that poetry will provide enduring comfort through its ideas. Arnold proposes evaluating poetry through "real," "historic," and "personal" estimates. The "real estimate" judges poetry objectively based on creative merit, while the "historic estimate" prioritizes historical context over artistic value. The "personal estimate" relies on subjective tastes. Arnold advocates the "touchstone method" of comparing works to classics like Homer, Dante and Shakespeare to assess poetic quality. He analyses various poets like Chaucer, Dryden and Pope through this framework.

THE BOOK OF EZRA
The document provides an introduction to the Book of Ezra in the Bible. It discusses that Ezra was likely the author and dates the book between 456-444 BC. It describes the historical background of the Jewish people returning to Jerusalem after 70 years of exile in Babylon, with the help of Persian kings like Cyrus and Darius. The outline presented divides the book into two parts - the return under Zerubbabel and the rebuilding of the temple, and the return under Ezra and his spiritual revival efforts. Key events and people involved are also summarized.
Chapter 16 Ezra
Spiritual leadership focuses on moving people towards God's agenda rather than organizational goals. Spiritual leaders face challenges like lack of focus on their own spirituality and depression from spiritual warfare. Ezra exemplified spiritual leadership as a scribe who studied God's word and taught it to the people, encouraging repentance. He recognized God's hand at work. Blackaby outlines steps to experiencing God, including recognizing His work, speaking through circumstances, and requiring faith and obedience to join what God is doing. Spiritual leaders lead people to encounters with God, help them find purpose and identity, and impact their environment through transformation rather than just production.
01 January 4, 2015, EZRA, God Commands Obedience
The document provides an overview and commentary on the biblical book of Ezra. Key points include:
- Ezra tells the story of the return of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem following the decree of Cyrus of Persia in 538 BC and the rebuilding of the Temple.
- It is divided into two parts, the first covering the return under Zerubbabel and rebuilding of the Temple, and the second covering the subsequent mission of Ezra to purify the Jewish community.
- Together with Nehemiah, Ezra represents the final chapter in the Hebrew Bible's historical narrative, following a pattern of God stirring Persian kings to commission Jewish leaders for missions of rebuilding.
My Last Duchess
The poem is a dramatic monologue spoken by an Italian Duke showing a portrait of his deceased wife, called his "last Duchess", to a representative of the Count. As he speaks, he reveals that he was possessive and jealous of his wife, believing she did not properly appreciate his high social status and wealth. He implies that he had her killed due to her friendly, appreciative nature which he saw as a fault. The ending reinforces the Duke's self-importance as he draws attention to another artwork, highlighting his wealth and power.
4. George Orwell - Why I Write
George Orwell explains the four main motives that drive writers: (1) egoism and desire for fame, (2) aesthetic enthusiasm for language and storytelling, (3) the historical impulse to uncover facts, and (4) political purpose to change society. As a child, Orwell engaged in extensive imaginary storytelling and worked on various unsuccessful poems and stories. He was drawn to descriptive writing styles and wanted to write large naturalistic novels. His experiences in Burma and later poverty influenced his political views and pushed him towards writing pamphlets.

Ezra 4
The enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the exiles were rebuilding the temple for God. They came and offered to help build, saying they also worshipped God. However, the leaders refused their help, saying they would build the temple for God alone. The enemies then tried to discourage and frighten the people from building. They hired people to frustrate the plans and stop the work during the reigns of Cyrus and Darius.

Chapter 17 Nehemiah
The document discusses the differences between managers and leaders, using examples from biblical figures and management literature. It notes that while managers focus on planning, organizing, and controlling, leaders inspire and motivate. Nehemiah is presented as a model of "managerial leadership" who successfully rebuilt Jerusalem's walls in 52 days by dividing the large project into manageable tasks, addressing problems, and ensuring completion.
Nehemiah
Nehemiah was the cupbearer to the Persian king who sacrificed his position of luxury to help the needy Jews in Jerusalem. He was distressed by their suffering and the condition of the city walls, so he obtained permission from the king to travel to Jerusalem as governor to rebuild the walls. Despite opposition, the walls were completed in just 52 days. Nehemiah then focused on religious revival - he had the people's ancestry registered, reestablished Temple worship, and had Ezra read the law to the people, bringing about genuine repentance. However, when Nehemiah returned briefly to Persia, he found the people had lapsed back into sin, so he strongly rebuked them.

It provides 4 reasons for studying the book: 1) Its place in the biblical canon, 2) How it fulfilled history, 3) Its prophetic importance, and 4) The spiritual lessons it provides.

The document stresses principles of availability over ability, repairing problems rather than despairing, and watching and praying.

The document summarizes the Book of Ezra from the Bible. It discusses how the Jews rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem after being exiled for disobeying God and not fearing Him. When they returned, they faced opposition from neighboring Samaritans who wanted to help rebuild. This caused construction to stop for 14 years until the prophets Haggai and Zechariah encouraged the people to refocus on God and rebuild the temple, which was completed in 5 years. Ezra later arrived in Jerusalem to help the people obey God and keep Him at the center of their lives.

Understanding the human personality 4
The document discusses how humans can decline from being spiritual to becoming earthly, soulish, and eventually demonic. It argues that becoming too focused on earthly things and desires (prosperity, healing) makes one "soulish" and ego-centric. This opens the door for demonic influence. It cites biblical examples like Aaron making a golden calf and Israel's idolatry as demonstrations of declining from spiritual to soulish to demonic. The document warns against worship becoming merely play or entertainment focused on feeling good rather than focusing on God.
13.03.22 exegesis lent 5
1. Genesis 22 recounts God's test of Abraham where he commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham takes Isaac to the appointed place and is about to sacrifice him when God provides a ram to take Isaac's place.
2. Hebrews 9 discusses how Christ appeared as a high priest to redeem humanity through his death. His death established a new covenant through which believers can receive eternal salvation.
3. The texts connect in highlighting redemption through sacrifice - God provided a ram instead of Isaac, and Christ's sacrifice redeems believers from death. While Genesis prefigures redemption, Hebrews declares its fulfillment in Christ's once-for-all sacrifice establishing the new covenant.
