In page 28, he quotes Matthew 6:1-4, “be careful not to practice your righteousness
In crafting his highly effective sermon, Edwards utilizes his authority as a man of God and as an interpreter of the scriptures, a logical and direct organization of arguments, and violent imagery to convince his audience of the vengeance of God against man. Jonathan Edwards begins his sermon by quoting
Humans must know and admit to the fact that they are the creation of God, and that this should be honored above all things. This shows that God is all powerful and humans must recognize and respect that. The Lord’s Prayer also shows outright respect to God with its First Petition. The First Petition state “Hallowed be Thy name,” and Luther explains that “God’s name is indeed holy in itself; but we pray in this petition that it may become holy among us also,” (Luther “Small Catechism” 19). It must be respected that God is holy above all other things and this must be
His starting verse from Deuteronomy sets the tone of his sermon by putting the focus on God’s warning before his wrath. Since the colonies were riddled with American entitlement, they saw themselves as God’s divine people, so Edwards used this verse to parallel what happened to God’s first chosen people in Israel, showing that God would not hold back on his second chosen people either. Edward’s view of God aligns with his view of humankind. He sees humans one-way: evil. He says that the only reason, “they are not fallen already, and do not fall now, is only that God’s appointed time has not come” (319).
Revelation 12:11 NIV They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Yesterday, Jason and I decided to have church at home since the ice kept us off the roads. We were watching one of Bethal’s pas live streams and Kris Vallaton was speaking. He was taking about us and satan. As I watched this video, I became fasciated as he talked about the woman will hate satan, and that we will bruise or crush his head.
As Walter Brueggemann says in his book The Bible Makes Sense, “The central life-death moment in the biblical
Rhetorical Analysis of Jonathan edwards’s Sinners in the hand of an angry god: jeremiad Jonathan edwards, is known as one of the most important religious figures of the great awakening, edwards became known for his zealous sermon “sinners at the hand of an angry god”. During his sermon he implies that if his congregation does not repent to christ they are in “danger of great wrath and infinite misery”. Throughout this sermon edwards uses literary devices such as strong diction, powerful syntax and juxtaposition to save his congregation from eternal damnation. Throughout Edwards’s sermon the use of turgid diction is exceedingly prevalent.
" This day I come to address the nations with some important news for those who dwell on earth. I come with good news for the faithful and bad news for everyone else. As I am sure you have heard, those two miserable frauds in Israel, they who call themselves Elijah and Enoch, have boldly made a public threat.

The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
Isaiah 53 should be a very critical prophetic chapter of the Bible when it comes to establishing without ambiguity that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is indeed the Jewish Messiah long awaited for in Judaism. Popular in evangelical circles, this prophecy clearly describes some of what Jesus of Nazareth experienced while here on earth. Contrary to the systematic way the translation of the Word of God has been divided, my belief is that this prophecy began in Chapter 52:13 and continued until Chapter 53:11. Although this passage clearly talks about the suffering messiah Jesus, we know that the Jews in general rejected Him as the Messiah and are still awaiting for the messiah to come although He came 2000 years ago. This prophecy begins in verse 13 to 15 of chapter 52 and describes the Messiah as one who would be firstly wise.
And I will give you rest from all you enemies. Moreover, the LORD declares to you that the LORD will make you a house. When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise u your offspring after yoim who shall come from you body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son.
