• When he first met Queequeg, Ishmael was repulsed by this tattooed savage. Strangely enough, as Ishmael got to know Queequeg, Ishmael realized that Queequeg was actually quite hospitable and kind and not as creepy as he may have appeared to be. It is funny how, according to Queequeg’s customs, he and Ishmael are married because they both smoked from the same tomahawk pipe, even though they had just met, introducing the idea of homosexuality to the story. To embrace this custom, Queequeg gave Ishmael half of his belongings, while continuing to share a bed. In return, Ishmael agreed to worship idols like Queequeg (in hopes that Queequeg would do the same with Christianity).

Why are you doing this to us? Us, your children, who were created in your resemblance. But if we could just take a minute and see that in fact, HE is next to us waiting for the moment that we realize that we are the one to be blame, for all the hostility, cruelty, and indifference not
Isaac M. Wise was a Rabbi that wrote several editorials in his weekly journal The Israelite. The Israelite held a strong influence in the mid-west and south during the 1800s and “exerted a powerful force in the formation of Jewish public opinion on Jewish and national problems” (1). Wise expressed his stance as neutral in regards to politics during the Civil War. Yet, it became obvious through Wise’s editorials that he was not a fence-sitter, but rather a Peace Democrat; Wise believed in neither the extreme abolitionist’s nor the extreme secessionist’s political views.

A Throne for All Ages The biblical covenants that God makes displayed in Piper’s Article, all of which fulfilled by Jesus, invite mankind to the Kingdom of the Father. Throughout the Bible, these covenants are made between God and people like Abraham, Moses, and Noah. They serve as a spectacular source of faith and help people on earth to realize the Father’s wisdom, power, and love he has to share. His covenants with man can be referred to as His own “self-written job description,” how He works to keep people on a good path in life.
Children are often taught the story of David and Goliath at a young age. It is a story of a young shepherd boy who defeats a mighty warrior using only smooth stones and his sling shot. Through this story, children are taught that anything is possible if they trust in God. David is the clear underdog in this story because the Israelites did not have faith in him. No one believed in David when all odds were against him.
