When first created, the universe was formless and empty (“without form, and void” in 1:2). Through the days of creation, God formed (days 1-3) and filled (days 4-6) the universe He created.30 The following chart is from Egner (p. 9): expresses graphically God’s claim of lordship over the creatures” (Gerhard Von Rad, quoted in Davis, p. 62). “Firmament” is derived from the Latin Vulgate’s translation of this word, firmamentum, meaning something made solid (Ross, p. 109). 29

In part two, God has ascended to uppercase. God is the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible and His son Christ isn't far behind. "The question is whether God touches anything. Is anything firm, or is time on the loose? Did Christ descend once and for all to no purpose, in a kind of divine and kenotic suicide?"

Octavian was then granted the title of "Augustus" by the Senate[5] and took the title of Princeps or "first citizen". [3] Augustus (as modern scholars usually refer to him from this point) took the official position that he had saved the Republic, and carefully framed his powers within republican constitutional principles. He thus rejected titles that Romans associated with monarchy, such as rex. The dictatorship, a military office in the early Republic typically lasting only for the six-month military campaigning season, had been resurrected and abused first by Sulla in the late 80s BC and then by Julius Caesar in the mid-40s; the title dictator had been formally abolished thereafter. As the adopted heir of Julius Caesar, Augustus had taken Caesar as a component of his name, and handed down the name to his heirs of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

We will come to understand what it meant that “Christ emptied Himself” in the Incarnation. The question in a lot of Christian mind’s is; did Christ lay down any attributes of His deity in order to become human, or did He keep all attributes of His deity while He was in human flesh? Christ true significance can be understood only when His relationship to the people in whose midst he was born is understood.
Study of Religion ‘Denys Arcand effectively contemporises the life of Jesus by using canonical and non-canonical texts’ ‘Jesus of Montreal’ is a contemporary film which explores the figure of Jesus Christ. The film is set in modern day Montreal and focuses on Daniel Coulombe, an actor asked by Catholic priest Raymond Leclerc to present an updated version of the Passion Play. The film makes use of aspects from each of the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and while not retelling the life of Jesus, attempts to portray how one man can be transformed into a Christ-like figure. Evidence suggests that Matthew was the first gospel to be written; it suggested that Jesus was the new Moses, or Messiah, for it was written for the Jewish community. The gospel of Mark recounted the life of Jesus, focusing on what he did and said.

The Roman Empire had a very different foundation from the Persian’s monarch grounds. The Republic of Rome began in 509 BCE when the last Etruscan king was overthrown. The Republic was governed by the Senate, a form of oligarchy. The Republic lasted until 49 BCE, when Julius Caesar, a consul of the senate, betrayed Pompey, another consul, marched into Rome and proclaimed himself Emperor. After the third civil war and Caesar’s grandnephew, Augustus Caesar, names himself dictator and emperor for life, the Roman Empire went through Pax Romana, where the empire flourished during a time of
