Personification Of Death

To summarize this text it states that Joseph of Arimathea was getting ready for the burial of the Son of God. They were adding vast amounts of aromas and ungruents, in which the same time Death entered and asked if the body was ready to be taken away. He was looking for the soul of the body for two days but couldn’t find it.” This has never happened before so he is surprised. There is a lot of violent commotion going on in this world and he still doesn’t understand how can not find the body. Death then decided to call his minister and told him that he was going to go to every place, so they can find the soul of the deceased body. He thinks that it’s in the new world and it’s hiding itself so it won’t be found. But he doesn’t know for sure.

Another reason is that although I am giving little information in the text we have done numerous activities and had many class lectures about demons, and how death is personified. There is plenty of powerpoints and notes that can be used to state why and how he has been personified and if he is a demon or not. Not only can I use my passage, notes, discussion boards, and powerpoints but I am also able to use the things that I know personally about these things. Out of all of the other powerpoints I found this one to be more straightforward and less difficult to work on. I think that Death is being personified in many ways and there are several reason why I think that he fits the description of a

But the robbers and evildoers were waiting and sitting tight while the Saviour was going down to the Amente and those robbers and evildoers would go down there after him, to see what he was going to do. Another reason why it would explain why he is a demon is because he is associated with death but there are angels who are associated with death as well. So do I see Abbaton as a demon yes I do.Why? Because he is able to transform himself into something so evil and personally I know the background of a serpents because there have been many myths of Satan using a snake as a disguise. That’s how Adam and Eve broke God’s command. A snake is really evil. A snake is not trusted, they devour their tales and they’re known for being the creation for destruction, os as what everyone else would say “Life out of Death”. Many people do not trust snakes because they are very sneaking and nothing good ever comes out of
