Lord Of The Flies Summary Chapter 14

1000 Words4 Pages

Joshua 5: 13 "Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, "What message does my Lord have for his servant?" The man who says these words says that he is the ‘commander of the army of the Lord’. This is the first time that God has appeared to Joshua until now. It is amazing in the first place because the fact that the Holy Spirit came and spoke to Joshua but to come as a human for Joshua to see and notice is beyond amazing. ‘The Captain of the Lord’s host’ is what he is called in other translations. He Himself takes part in the fight. He is not like a general who, on some occasions, stays behind the army, sends his soldiers to death, and keeps his own skin whole. But our ‘general’ or ‘commander has fought, and He is fighting still. …show more content…

Christ denotes how ready he is for the defense and salvation of his people. Joshua will know whether he is a friend or a foe. As Joshua is walking around camp he looks up to see a human form holding a sword he is probably thinking ‘Is this one of the enemies that has sneaked up on me?’ So, promptly and boldly, he strides up to him with the quick question, ‘Whose side are you on? Are you one of us, or from the enemy’s camp?’ ‘I am from neither’ the strange man replies, ‘I am not on your side; you are on mine, for I am the Captain of the Lord’s army.’ Joshua falls on his face as he recognizes his Commander-in-Chief. Then he asks what it is that he needs to do ‘What message does my lord have for his

Jonathan Edwards God Rhetorical Analysis

515 Words | 3 Pages

In order to emphasize God’s contempt for the audience, Jonathan Edwards utilizes inflammatory diction and comparisons of God’s anger to a bow and arrow and “black clouds” to instill fear in the audience so that they will accept God as their savior, provoking a religious revival. Throughout the sermon, Edwards utilizes “fiery” phrases such as “furnace of wrath”, “wrath…burns like fire”, and “glowing flames of the wrath of God” in order to establish a connection between God’s fury and a burning fire, reaffirming the reality of going to hell, as hell is commonly associated with fire. Because fires are also very devastating and unpredictable, Edwards emphasizes the power and degree of God’s disdain and his ability to cause drastic change at unexpected times, making God’s patience seem fragile.

Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God Analysis

817 Words | 4 Pages

In his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Jonathan Edwards describes a wrathful God who detests the humans he created. Edwards uses fear, imagery, faulty logic and his own authority to sway listeners to follow his word. The image selected presents a blend of both the setting of the sermon and much of the imagery used within it. The image effectively draws out this imagery and portrays the sermon with both vibrance and tension.

Rhetorical Analysis Of Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God

873 Words | 4 Pages

This interpretation of God becomes the reference point for the rest of the sermon. All of the commands and accusations in the sermon rely on Edwards' portrait of God as an angry, all-powerful being that has no obligation to have mercy upon his creations. By convincing his congregation of God's wrathful character, Edwards is then able to convince the congregation that they are in danger of damnation and severe punishment at the hand of this wrathful God. Edwards characterizes God as a being that "abhors" mortal men and "looks upon [them] as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire" (200). Edwards then uses scriptural references to support his claims about the nature of God.

Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God By Jonathan Edwards

938 Words | 4 Pages

“The wrath of God is like great waters that are dammed for the present; they increase more and more, and rise higher and higher, till an outlet is given; and the lover the stream is stopped, the more rapid and mighty is its course, when once it is let loose.” Edwards uses this imagery the people are familiar with to display the majesty of our Lord. Before this quote, Edwards stated: “Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards Hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and swiftly descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf…” This is a representation of us as pitiful humans, not deserving God’s mercy. It is a very personal passage, as the word ‘you’ is used multiple times to emphasize you and your sins.

Ezekiel Language Analysis

440 Words | 2 Pages

In addition to this imposing picture of YHWH, I am also struck by the seemingly contradictory language that is present at certain moments in the text. For example, when Ezekiel eats the scroll of God’s words in chapter 3, he reflects on the sweet taste, but this is most surprising because it is a written message that is full of woe and lamentation. Another situation of the text contains a command from YHWH to his divine helpers who are bringing destruction on the city of Jerusalem, where he tells them to “defile the Temple” with their victims’ corpses. Normally one would not expect such a command to come from YHWH and I can only imagine how shocking it would sound to the Jews that were living at the moment this word from God was announced.

Third, it serves to confirm that God is and will be with His people always. However, YHWH could also be translated to "He who causes to be" or "He who causes to exist" which shows God's ability to bring things into being or His creatorship. YHWH becomes God's covenant name, "the name you shall call me from generation to generation. " Another significant statement is "I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery... " which shows God's love and compassion for His people, as well as His faithfulness to the promise He made to Abraham long ago.
