Adam and Keys Hi Sweetie!!! Shortly before the official second coming of Christ, all the keys of the dispensations will be passed back to Adam, and he will pass them back to Christ. This is to take place at Adam- ondi-Ahman, which is located in Missouri. “Daniel in his seventh chapter speaks of the Ancient of Days; he means the oldest man, our Father Adam, Michael, he will call his children together and hold a council with them to prepare them for the coming of the Son of Man. He (Adam) is the father of the human family, and presides over the spirits of all men, and all that have had the keys must stand before him in this grand council. This may take place before some of us leave this stage of action. The Son of Man [Christ] stands before him, and there is given him glory and dominion. Adam delivers up his stewardship to Christ, that which was delivered to him as holding the keys of the universe, but retains his standing as head of the human family.” Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 157. Adam-ondi-Ahman has some interesting attributes: 1) Where Adam and Eve went after being banished from the Garden of Eden 2) Where Adam and Eve were baptized, received the Holy Ghost, and received temple ordinances 3) Where Adam built altars of prayer and sacrifice to worship God. Maybe this will be the place where the sons of Levi offer up the final sacrifice. 4) Where Adam gave blessings to his children three years before his death 5) A temple will be built there – a location at the top of a bluff was dedicated by Brigham Young and others 6) Where Adam and other prophets will meet and hold a council. This might be where the specific group of 144,000 saints will meet, spoken of in Revelation 7:4 “And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” This will be 12,000 members of each of the 12 tribes. 7) The council will gather by invitation only –no one else is supposed to know the council happens 8) Christ comes to join the council and receive back the keys from Adam 9) Ahman is another name for Jesus Christ (See D&C 95:17) 10) Therefore, the name Adam-ondi-Ahman probably refers to Adam and Christ – we don’t know what “ondi” means, but supposedly it is a word in the Adamic language. An excellent article regarding Adam is found at https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1994/01/the-man-adam?lang=eng This world was created with a specific purpose and timeline. Adam was placed on the earth, probably from Kolob, at the initiation of the plan, and I believe the fall of Adam is what caused death to occur on THIS earth. Clearly death occurred on other earths. One could therefore infer that Adam and Eve were vegetarian in the Garden of Eden, as no animals on this earth would have died for them to eat. After the fall and death is introduced into this world, Elohim has Jehovah prepare coats of skins for them. While we © Roger Malmrose 2021 don’t know how the coats of skins were made, it would not be unreasonable to believe that the skins came from animals that were on this earth. The coats also could have been made from animals from another sphere. We don’t know the exact time of Christ’s second coming to the earth, but what is more important is that a “personal” second coming of Christ happens to each of us when we die – we come to him. This is the “second coming” that each of us needs to be concerned about. I hope you are having a WONDERFUL day!!! You are gaining a richness of experience that you will carry for the rest of your life and be a blessing to your children and many others. I LOVE YOU!!!! Dad © Roger Malmrose 2021 .

  • Hi Sweetheart!!!!! Adam Was a Central Figure, Along with Elohim and Jesus
    Hi Sweetheart!!!!! Adam was a central figure, along with Elohim and Jesus Christ, in the creation of the earth, and I am excited to understand to learn more about him. He and Eve certainly had to be amazing people. The Doctrines of Salvation has some excellent statements regarding Adam. “Adam was placed here, not a wild, half-civilized savage, but a perfectly-developed man, with wonderful intelligence, for he helped to create this earth.” I personally don’t believe that evolution was used as part of the creative process of this earth that we now live on. I believe that this earth was assembled for our inhabitation, which entailed the placing of plants, animals, Adam, and Eve here from other worlds, rather than cultivating this earth through millennia of guided evolution. But that doesn’t mean that evolution, particularly guided evolution didn’t occur on other earths. “Adam… possessed … power to communicate his thoughts in a language, both oral and written, which was superior to anything to be found on the earth today. “… for he was taught of God, and spoKe the language of the Most High, in which angels conversed.” I suppose the Adamic language was lost at the time of the Tower of Babel – at least it is certainly NOT English, which is a mess. I hope you don’t get too comfortable hearing sentences starting with “Me and xxxxx”! Finding appropriate words for expression is sometimes difficult. Maybe the Adamic language has some level of spiritual conveyance at the same time words are spoKen, allowing us to feel meaning, instead of just hearing it.

  • Another Look at Cain: from a Narrative Perspective
    신학논단 제102집 (2020. 12. 31): 241-263 https://doi.org/10.17301/tf.2020.12.102.241 Another Look at Cain: From a Narrative Perspective Wm. J McKinstry IV, MATS Adjunct Faculty, Department of General Education Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary In the Hebrew primeval histories names often carry significant weight. Much etymological rigour has been exercised in determining many of the names within the Bible. Some of the meaning of these names appear to have a consensus among scholars; among others there is less consensus and more contention. Numerous proposals have come forward with varying degrees of convincing (or unconvincing as the case may be) philological arguments, analysis of wordplays, possi- ble textual emendations, undiscovered etymologies from cognates in other languages, or onomastic studies detailing newly discovered names of similarity found in other ancient Semitic languages. Through these robust studies, when applicable, we can ascertain the meanings of names that may help to unveil certain themes or actions of a character within a narrative. For most of the names within the primeval histories of Genesis, the 242 신학논단 제102집(2020) meaning of a name is only one feature. For some names there is an en- compassing feature set: wordplay, character trait and/or character role, and foreshadowing. Three of the four members in the first family in Genesis, Adam, Eve, and Abel, have names that readily feature all the elements listed above. Cain, however, has rather been an exception in this area, further adding to Genesis 4’s enigmaticness in the Hebrew Bible’s primeval history. While three characters (Adam, Eve, and Abel) have names that (1) sound like other Hebrew words, that are (2) sug- gestive of their character or actions and (3) foreshadow or suggest fu- ture events about those characters, the meaning of Cain’s name does not render itself so explicitly to his character or his role in the narrative, at least not to the same degree of immediate conspicuousness.

  • PROGRAM NOTES the Classical Master Josef Haydn and The
    Program Notes The Classical master Josef Haydn and the idiosyncratic minimalist Arvo Pärt may seem like a musical odd couple, but this afternoon’s pairing brings to- gether two composers who share some fundamental characteristics. Both are men of a deep personal faith which is often reflected in their music. And both were unafraid to reference contemporary events in their music. Haydn’s title Missa in Tempore Belli (Mass in a Time of War) was his own, and refers to the Napoleonic wars, which were played out in large measure on Austrian soil. Pärt dedicated his 2008 Symphony No. 4 “Los Angeles” to Mikhail Khodoro- vsky, the Russian oil magnate, philanthropist, and vocal critic of the Putin government, whose imprisonment was widely thought to be politically mo- tivated, and his selection of the text for Adam’s Lament is his response to the ongoing tensions between Islamic and Christian worlds. Estonian-born Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) reinvented his compositional style after making an early name for himself as an avant garde composer. His early com- positions were fiercely atonal and serial, but he also experimented with aleatoric music, where he might indicate the range of pitches for a given voice but not specify discrete pitches, rhythms or durations, and collage music, in which he layered phrases of music from composers like Bach onto his own 12- tone music. The premiere of Pärt’s 1968 Credo, a choral collage piece, caused something of an uproar. The use of the liturgical text had not been approved by the Soviet composers’ union and the work was subsequently banned in the Soviet Union.

    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

  • LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 Why Did Cain Kill His Brother Abel?
    CHAPTER ONE LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON GENESIS 4:1–2 You two are book-men: can you tell me by your wit; What was a month old at Cain’s birth, that’s not five weeks old as yet? (Shakespeare—Love’s Labor’s Lost 4.2.40) Why did Cain kill his brother Abel? It is usually assumed by modern commentators that God’s rejection of Cain’s offering led him to kill his brother in a fit of jealousy.1 Such a conclusion is logical in light of the way the action in the story is arranged. But the fact is we are never told the specific reason for the murder. Ancient exegetes, as we will see later, also speculated over Cain’s motive and sometimes provided the same conclusion as modern interpreters. But some suggested that there was something more sinister behind the killing, that there was something inborn about Cain that led him to earn the title of first murderer. These interpreters pushed back past the actual murder to look, as would a good biographer, at what it was about Cain’s birth and childhood that led him to his moment of infamy. Correspond- ingly, they asked similar questions about Abel. The result was a devel- opment of traditions that became associated with the brothers’ births, names and occupations. Who was Cain’s father? As we noted in the introduction, Cain and Abel is a story of firsts. In Gen 4:1 we find the first ever account of sexual relations between humans with the end result being the first pregnancy.

  • 9 the Mystical Bitter Water Trial [Text Deleted]
    9 The Mystical Bitter Water Trial [text deleted] 9.1 Golems as Archetypes of the Trial’s Supernaturally Inseminated Seed [text deleted] 9.2 Lilith as the First Sotah [text deleted] 9.3 Lilith and Samael as Animating Forces in Golems [text deleted] 9.4 Azazel as the Seed of Lilith No study of Lilith would be complete without a discussion of the demon Azazel. This is true because several clues in many ancient texts - including the Torah, the Zohar, and the First Book of Enoch - indicate that Azazel was the seed of Lilith. The texts further hint that Azazel was not the product of Lilith mating with any ordinary man, but rather he was the firstborn seed resulting from her illicit mating with Semjaza, the leader of a group of fallen angels called Watchers. As the seed of the Watchers, Azazel was the first born of the Nephilim, a race of powerful angel-man hybrids who nearly pushed ordinary mankind to extinction before the flood. But Azazel was much more than just a powerful Nephilim. Regular Nephilim were the products of the daughters of Adam mating with Watchers. Azazel was the product of Lilith mating with the Watchers. He is thus less human than all, and the most powerful, even more powerful than the Watchers who sired him. Azazel’s role in the Yom Kippur ceremony of Leviticus 16 indicates he is a rival to Messiah and God. This identifies Azazel as the legendary seed of the Serpent of Eden. God declared in his curse against the Serpent that this great seed would bruise the heel of Eve’s promised seed (Messiah), but Eve’s seed in turn would crush the head of the Serpent Lilith and destroy her seed.

  • Dutch and Double Dutch Trouble Give in Finnegans Wake
    Papers on Joyce 4 (1998): 19-23 Dutch and Double Dutch Trouble Give in Finnegans Wake LAURENT MILESI Cardiff University of Wales Let us make it clear “at the onset” ( FW 78.25): this essay does not wish to take sides in nor offer a belated settlement of the fable of the Knuth and the Lernout who, eins within a space, fought a “boomslanging” ( FW 209.01) match like “dutchunclers” ( FW 314.22) about what lexical items should be glossed as Belgian Dutch (Flemish), Cape Dutch (Afrikaans) or Dutch Dutch in Finnegans Wake .1 Rather, it wishes to acknowledge the moral of the controversy, that one “Dutch” unit may hide another, and take it as a point of departure for the study of some of the thematic facets that Joyce associated with those doubling Dutches in his text that gave so much trouble even to native critics. That Joyce chose to double, even treble Dutch makes the language group fit within the work’s larger theme of linguistic unintelligibility and impaired semantic communication with a vengeance, and accounts for FW 430.13-16, where Jaun, “abasourdly [French abasourdir : to dumbfound] in his Dutchener’s native,” utters a sentence ... in broken Danish. While allowing him to link his Dutches in with other idioms, as was his practice, in order to build the linguistic problematic and universe of his work, this troublesomeness 2 of a tongue ready to split into other, even less related languages is the symptomatic “key” to Joyce’s thematic treatment of it. 1. The “Djoytsch” Complex Joyce never had to go very far when he needed a spark for his literary creation or a convenient nail on which to peg his concerns; the idiomatic storehouse of the English language always stood him in good stead and in this case yielded, among numerous other idiomatic gems, the phrase “go dutch,” recorded in FW 244.02, with its suggestion of splitting costs and meeting half way.

  • The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This Paper Was Written for Dr
    The Psychology of Satan Jennifer Putnam This paper was written for Dr. Thomas! Milton course. It was presented at the 2009 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention. John Milton!s Satan is a psychologically complex character. Satan has qualities which make him a brilliant leader, but which also cause him great pain. He is a militant ruler with powerful speeches, and a cunning deceiver with rich disguises. The actions Satan takes, however, cause him great an- guish. It is through his soliloquies that Satan takes off his mask and reveals the troubled person he really is. John Milton in Paradise Lost portrays Satan as a proud, passionately manipulative, and complex character that endures an internal conflict from which he cannot escape. Though Milton begins his masterpiece in medias res, we must start from the beginning with Satan as the angel Lucifer. Lucifer enjoys his high stature in Heaven, until the Son is anointed instead of him, and he becomes jeal- ous. It is then that Lucifer draws emotionally away from God and Heaven. James Holley Hanford and James Taaffe show the results of this jealousy by commenting, “Following God!s announcement of the Son!s elevation, Satan initially defected from the angelic forces” (172). His defection is a result of be- ing too proud of being a servant, which leads to anger and thus, his rebellion. Royland Frye points out the irony of Satan!s refusal to become a slave in that Satan actually becomes a slave to his emotions. Frye says, “As a result of his choice, he becomes a slave to what would, psychologically, be called an "ego- deal,! an identification of the self with an impossible image,” (35).

FORBIDDEN FRUIT: DRYDEN’S THE STATE OF INNOCENCE AND FALL OF MAN , AN OPERATIC VERSION OF PARADISE LOST by DEVANE KING MIDDLETON (Under the Direction of Candy B. K. Schille) ABSTRACT Ever since Dryden published his opera The State of Innocence , critics have speculated about his reasons for making a stage adaptation of Milton’s Paradise Lost . The fact that Dryden worked for Milton in Cromwell’s government may have been a factor. Dryden’s Puritan indoctrination during childhood, followed by influences from a royalist schoolmaster in his teenage years, makes the answer to the question somewhat more complex, as does the fact that the play, its source a Puritan epic adapted by an Anglican royalist poet, is dedicated to the Catholic bride of James, Duke of York and brother to Charles II.
