Theo 212 Midterm Take Home Exam Question 1: Models of Revelation (Part A) The model that Patricia’s understanding of God’s self communication most closely resembles is the Propositional model, in which a revelation occurs when teaching is formulated in a clear, conceptual form. In Patricia’s revelation, God communicates to her through the form of written words in the bible. Understanding and internalizing God’s command to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you!” was possible for Patricia because of her existing faith in Christ as an Evangelist. For Patricia, revelations through the delivery of religious teachings are salvific experiences. While Patricia’s faith was strong prior to her revelation, Oscar’s faith was a response to revelation.
The god Ea revealed to Utnapishtim, by speaking to the walls of his house, that the gods were to rid the earth of all humanity by means of a flood (Gilgamesh, tablet XI). Both floods were to be global in size, not only killing humanity, but also all wildlife as well. These similarities are easy to see, but there are even more. To escape the impending flood, both Noah and Utnapishtim built a vessel, or an ark, as instructed by a higher source. “Tear down the house and build a boat!
Many were left unemployed and had to take to the road to find work. A severe drought also ravaged America, destroying crops causing vast, treeless plains. This came to be known as the Dust Bowl.

Instructor: Prof. Burdett Topic: The Dust Bowl and The Great Depression. The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to The United States and Canadian Prairie Land from 1930 to 1936. This phenomenon was caused by severe drought followed by extensive farming without crop rotation and fallow fields. Deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains displaced the natural deep-rooted grasses that normally kept the soil in place and trapped moisture even during the periods of drought and high winds (Worster, Pg80-82). Millions of acres of farmland became useless and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to leave their homes and migrated to California and to other states.
In the bible, God decided that there was too much evil in the world and decided to flood the earth for forty days and nights. God picked Noah to build an ark to save two of each animal and regenerate mankind after the flood. In both The Epic of Gilgamesh, and the Bible, a story of a great flood occurs these stories compare in several significant ways. Utnapishtim was chosen to survive the great flood because he was a true worshipper of the god Ea, who came to warn Utnapishtim about the flood. Noah was the only man on earth who found grace in the eyes of god.

In “All whom the flood did,” we see a reference to Genesis, in which the flood killed everyone but Noah’s family, who survived on the ark. After this massacre, God promised Noah never to send such a flood again to kill the sinners. On Judgment Day, the sinners will be instead thrown into the fire, completing line 5: “All whom the flood did, and the fire shall, overthrow.” The list of words in lines 6-7 is a creative approach to encompass all the ways of dying: war for people who did in battle, dearth for those who died of hunger, age for natural death, agues for sickness, and tyrannies for those who died under oppressive leaders. The remaining three in line 7
