A STUDY ON ISAIAH 9:1-7 BY DIANIA SPORISKY A STUDY ON ISAIAH 9:1-7 The Bible comforts and reminds those of us who have come to trust in Jesus Christ not to despair as if there was no hope. We have the revelation of our Lord that not only announces His sovereign reign but also charts the course of world events. One of the most significant revelations is found in Isaiah 9. Against the background of the prophecy of war and destruction, darkness and gloom (chapter 8) Isaiah gave this prophecy about the Messiah—the glorious coming king. “Messiah” is a Hebrew term that means “anointed one,” that is, the anointed king.
The significant connection in all three words is in its meaning, which the Oxford Dictionary has defined thoroughly, “preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss; deliverance from sin and its consequences.” The essence therefore is to be saved, salvaged, or redeemed. The following Bible verses conjure such a motif. Psalm 118:21 “I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.” Isaiah 33:2 “O Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.” It can be clearly seen that the Bible is emphasizing the definition that surrounds salvation. The Koran on the other hand teaches that only those who believe will be saved.
Martin Luther King Jr. “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered at Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28, 1963. In hopes of planting the seed of equality into every American’s heart and letting it flourish. King expresses his profound and powerfully emotional thoughts while also mentioning momentous decrees such as the Emancipation Proclamation and Declaration of Independence that were signed by our founding fathers in our nations early history. These documents were intended to unlock the invisible cage that once held African Americans hostage from being treated as equals. Centuries later the Negro community was still riddled by racial injustice and oppression.
Through his writings, Maimonides established of the Thirteen Articles of faith are of central importance of the Jewish faith and the expression of Judaism. The Mishneh Torah was finished in 1178, the term refers too the summary or review of the Torah. Its context consists of the Talmud and the Mishnah. Throughout his life, Maimonides continued to revise it. The influence of the Maimonides perceives as a positive influence upon Jews expressing their beliefs contemporarily such as the study of the Torah.
In my assessment of this writing, I show you that he was a master at generating his own feelings of despair and anguish through his words and right into your soul. He then gives us the hope and promise of God’s mercy in the same way. There is a reason this piece has been around for two hundred plus years and that is you can feel every single verse. The narrator of this poem is in first person and that is definitely the author, John Newton. One of the ways he evokes such strong feelings in his readers is by is personification of “Grace”.
Comparing and Contrasting Ancient Egyptian Culture and Western Culture: “The Prince,” and “The Teaching for King Merikare.” The ancient Egyptians created a civilization that developed a culture that centered around religion and the concepts of self-enlightenment. Concepts that played important roles in the lives of the Egyptians were the development of Ba in preparation of the afterlife, and the achievement of Ma’at. Ma’at was a concept embodying peace, harmony, and truth; a state of non-chaos that all ancient Egyptians aimed to achieve. Ba was considered one’s soul or personality, and one needed to develop it to obtain a secure afterlife. The extreme importance of achieving Ma’at, developing a strong Ba, and living in accordance with Egyptians’ religious beliefs is clearly evident throughout the Egyptian instructional text, “The Teaching for King Merikare.” Comparing “The Teaching for King Merikare” to the renowned Western instructional text, “The Prince,” by Machiavelli, it is further evident that the ancient Egyptians valued religion and spirituality over the Western teachings to strive for worldly, materialistic achievements.

They were captured, enslaved for eight years but called unto the Lord, their God for repentance. God raised a judge, the first of his kind, to rescue them and his name was Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. God delivered King Cushan-Risthathaim into Othniel’s hands, allowing him to overpower the king providing peace in the land for forty years, until Othniel died (Life Application, p. 344). The Israelites again did evil in the sight of the Lord and God gave them into the hands of their enemy. King Eglon of Moab, the Ammonites and Amalekites joined forces to captured Israel
The Jewish people celebrate this festival to honor the Exodus from Egypt and being delivered from slavery under the hand of Pharaoh. According to the Bible, the Lord had promised the children of Israel that he would rescue them from oppression. He told them that he would lead them to a land flowing with milk and honey.
