The Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations as well as the concerns of His church in His own charge.”--Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 753 (1889). World Events Foretold “The end is near and every city is to be turned upside down every way. There will be confusion in every city. Everything that can be shaken is to be shaken and we do not know what will come next. The judgments will be according to the wickedness of the people and the light of truth that they have had.”--Manuscript Releases, vol. 1, p. 248 (1902). …show more content…

Are they in harmony with the sympathies of Christ? or are they swayed and perverted by the sophistries of worldly policy?” Putting morality over the system.

Donald Kraybill wrote a book called The Upside- Down Kingdom to illustrate his idea of what an upside down kingdom looked like during the time of Jesus’ ministry. In this book, Kraybill flourishes how the kingdom of God, while Jesus lived here on earth, appeared to be upside- down, for the fact, that Jesus focused on being victorious by being a servant and succeed by losing. This was not an usual act for people in His time. Jesus was against the teachings of that time, the poor became more poorer, and the wealthy became more wealthy.

During this time, European Monarchs became immensely jealous of the Church’s wealth. From their position of power, the Monarchs were pitching their jealousy as an opportunity to expose Church and yield it from venturing outside of their religious borders.

The article that I chose to read is called “Absolutism and the Rhetoric of Topography: Streets in the Rome of Sixtus V” by Charles Burroughs. This article is about Rome under Pope Sixtus V. While Burroughs is also successful at presenting the broad idea of what he wants to portray, yet also uses specific examples and narrows his focus in on these. Burroughs begins this article by stating that “few projects of urban remodeling are as celebrated as that of Pope Sixtus V for Rome” (189).
