The Characteristics Of Apocalyptic Literature Using Daniel And Revelation
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Will the world come to an end? If one's faith is placed in the Bible, then it appears to be the case. There is considerable mention of the planet's last days as humanity pushes forth with all its arrogant and contemptuous behavior. It is as though the human race has sought out its own destruction from the warnings of apocalyptic prophecies that represent its own destiny. Indeed, the Bible instructs that the world will witness an end to life as it is known in such a tremendous world war that nations will be pitted against one another and kingdoms will slay other kingdoms in the name of Armageddon. The writer discusses apocalyptic prophecies as they relate to Daniel and Revelation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

"A Model of Christian Charity"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the meaning and applicability of the speech delivered by Governor in 1630 aboard the Arbella. Winthrop's speech was patterned according to Puritan beliefs and world views. As a consequence, the speech seems harsh by today's standards. Some might even classify Winthrop and his followers as zealots.
