George Washington Carver was born in Diamond Grove, Missouri in January of 1864. His parents were Mary and Giles Carver, and their master was Moses Carver (the slave took up their owner’s last name.) Giles, George’s father left his mother before he was born, only to leave Mary, his mother, to raise George on her own.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In Isaiah 65:17-25, Isaiah mentions the citation of YHWH that He is about to “create new heavens and new earth” and gives some details of the things that will occur in the new creation. One of the things that YHWH will do is that “the youth will die at a hundred years” (Isa 65:20). Isaiah reiterated this declaration of a new creation in 66:22-23. Isaiah‘s statement in Isaiah 65:20 has received a considerable amount of debate among scholars. Scholarship is divided on the interpretation

protected the baby Moses from Pharaoh’s plan to kill all the Hebrew boys. The baby Moses was saved by Pharaoh’s daughter. In Exodus 2:10, it was recorded that Pharaoh's daughter raised Moses as her own son. This account showed that God not only thwarted Pharaoh’s plan to kill Moses, the irony was that Moses was raised up under the nose of Pharaoh as a “son” of her daughter (“Moses” in Egyptian means “son”) (Childs 1974:19). As part of God’s plan to save and train Moses, God allowed Moses to be raised and

In the propaganda poster “Cellular phone,” Minyoung Kim accentuates the idea of how people are dominated by excessive uses of technology. In the poster, Kim illustrates an image of a human figure confined in a “cell” phone. The poster well depicts the lives of people in modern society which tend to rely on technology. “Cellular phone” is a poster that is directed towards impressionable people who cannot detach from technology and extricate themselves from addiction. Kim anchors the importance of

When reading the collection of books “Confessions,” it becomes clear the Saint Augustine struggles immensely with the uncertainty of his faith. It is quite apparent that his purpose is to seek God and accept him into his life however possible, while also suggesting others to the same. Perhaps Augustine was attempting to fill a missing piece or a void throughout his life, or maybe he was undergoing certain issues in his relationships with others that he believed God could help provide guidance for

“The creatures outside looked from creature to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” (Orwell 141) This quote represents Benito Mussolini (Dictator of Italy 1925-1945) toward the end of his ruling. Both Napoleon and Mussolini rose to power the same way, treated the people they ruled over terribly, and separated themselves from the rest. Toward the beginning of Animal Farm every animal stood for the same thing: taking down Mr. Jones

Stories Of Fear In The Bible There are stories of fear in the Bible - Moses was afraid to leave his comfortable shepherd’s life behind and confront the terrible Pharaoh; the ten scouts who Moses had explore the Promised Land were afraid and caused the Hebrews to wander for another 40 years; Jonah was afraid of God’s command, so ran to the edge of the sea where he was swallowed by a fish; and how David must have trembled before the mighty Goliath! Yes - even Jesus Christ himself experienced fear

Jehovah gave him laws for his people to live by. Israelites agreed to his commands and to follow them and Moses took blood from oxen and sealed the agreement on the altar and the people. Our father knew his people would not keep the agreement. Within 40 days they had broken the agreement and made an idol. Jehovah was angry and broke the laws and therefore the agreement was broken also. Moses pleaded with Jehovah to remember his previous promise to Abraham and God saw he had to fulfill that promise

In the second chapter of Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches by Marvin Harris, Harris puts across the viewpoint of pigs; furthermore, with the hatred and love had for them. Culture is solely based off of different traditions and legends that have been passed down through centuries of time, some of which we might not entirely agree with. Unlike the cow’s in the Hindu Culture, pigs are not always worshiped. In other cultures, specific items or living beings might have different meaning to one another, which

Christians often view salvation as a heavenly resting place; in reality, however, salvation is a lifelong journey that can bridge the gap between Heaven and Earth. This spiritual bridge can be crossed through faith coupled with good works. “Bridge”, a short story by Daniel O’Malley, features a young boy who struggles to comprehend salvation as well as find his own. This motif of salvation is achieved through the use of biblical allusions which also help support the fact that the bridge is a physical

times. Passover is a well-established Jewish holiday, known for its profound connection to Jewish redemption and Moses as for its links with Christianity. The onset of Passover instigated through its primary observances in relation to the freedom bestowed upon the children of Israel from Egypt after generations of slavery. God promised Israelites freedom from slavery and sent Moses to guide them out of Egypt. However pharaoh had refused God’s will which lead on to ten plagues visiting Egypt and

Joshua: Uncle James, why did the limbs on the big tree move, side to side? Uncle James: I am not sure, but when I see the leaves and limbs on a tree moving from one side to the other, it’s a reminder to me that our creator has his way in the wind. So, I take it as a reminder that he is over nature. Joshua, stay in love with truth! No matter who hates it or is against you. You, my son, let truth be your closest companion. Your mother named you Joshua Immanuel for a reason; you are the son I hoped

one might discuss Moses and God’s roles as the most important in the liberation of the Israelites. However, it is also of great significance to address Pharaoh’s role as equally vital, albeit paradoxical, in the emancipation for a multitude of reasons. All in all, the lack of agency of the oppressed group in their own liberation speaks great multitudes to the themes so

never leave nor forsake us, found in Ivrim, Perek 13:6. As long as we stay on the path of light and follow him and his son Yeshua HaMashiakh, he will not abandon us or forsake us. In Deuteronomy, they speak more about the Feast of Tabernacles, “And Moses commanded them, saying: “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the feast of

Throughout the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible, many bizarre and horrifying stories take place. In the book of Judges and chapter eleven, a story is told of a man named Jepthah who sacrificed his only child, a daughter, to the Lord. At first glance, this story may seem purely atrocious, but one must view it from multiple standpoints to understand the meaning behind it. After understanding the events that occur in the narrative, one must view those events through historical context, how the story

While Bnei Yisrael were in the desert they sinned many times, two sins that stood out the most were the sin of the Golden Calf and the sin of the spies. There are many similarities between the two sins. For example, both sins occurred after 40 days, it is as if after 40 days Bnei Yisrael give up and need a new leader. Additionally, Bnei Yisrael wanted a new leader who would do what they wanted; in both sins, they wanted to replace Moshe and Aaron. Lastly, Bnei Yisrael started to lose Emunat Hashem

Replace “This shows” True loyalty is more than just following what you are told, it (wip). In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, a farm run by Mr. Jones has been overthrown by the animals who have started a rebellion. The motivation for the rebellion was the belief that the animals should be human rule and would now receive what they labored for instead of the humans running the farm taking away the majority. Now that the animals have overthrown the humans from the farm, they have pronounced to the

when the Israelites looked at conquering the land of Canaan and the King of Moab, Balak, had his ritualistic prostitutes seduce the Israeli men in hope to subdue the Israelites and make them commit adultery. The Lord was furious with this and told Moses to destroy the Moabites, igniting a hatred that surpassed the anger felt towards the Egyptians (Numbers 25). This history between the two groups is what makes this story of Ruth so incredible. As with most of the Old Testament, the structure of the

Introduction Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Old Testament and is recognized to be the author of the Pentateuch. He was born to a Levite family and adopted by an Egyptian Princess, and lived a good life. The book of Exodus also tells us that after the killing of an Egyptian he fled to Midian and became a shepherd, where he had his encounter with God in the form of a burning bush. Moses was chosen by God and told to return Pharaoh where he was to bring redemption to His people

Throughout Exodus, God is always there for Moses and the Israelites, even though the people seemed to have forgotten Him. He is constantly looking out for all of the Israelites and genuinely cares about them. When He first appears before Moses and orders him to go talk to the Pharaoh to free the Israelites, Moses voices his concern about speaking to the people because he is “slow of speech and tongue” and protests that God should send someone else in his place. Instead of getting angry, God kindly
