  • Four Classifications of Prophets
    THE PROPHETIC REALM SERIES FOUR CLASSIFICATIONS OF PROPHETS Tonight we want to look at the life of a prophet. And if you have been reading the word of God consistently, you may have noticed that one of the prominent prophets in the bible is the prophet Elijah. In the New Testament John the Baptist was supposed to have the spirit of Elijah. If you examine it very carefully John the Baptist did not do the same kind of miracles that Elijah did. John the Baptist preached repentance. Yet the bible says that he has the spirit of Elijah even though he did not do all those things that Elijah and Elisha did. So as I look into all these prophets and their lives, God began to show that there are two types of prophets in Old Testament. And there are four flavors of prophet. Lets look at First Chron. 29:29 It says of the life of David who himself was a king and a prophet. Verse 29 Now the acts of king David first and last indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer. Although the bible tells us in the book of First Samuel chapter 16 and in chapter 9 it tells that in those days they call a prophet a seer. And they use the word seer and prophet synonymously. We have always looked on those two words as the same. Notice here that they purposely isolate Samuel as a seer, Gad as a seer and Nathan as a prophet.

  • 1 the Ruah of Eloim
    The Ruah of Eloim: A Prolegomenon to a Salesian Theology of the Word1 Alexander T. Pocetto, OSFS Presented at the Salesian Scholars Seminar Stella Niagara, NY October 2018 Nature and the Elements St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) had a great love for nature and creation. He saw creation essentially as a manifestation of the wonder, power and love of God.2 Anyone who has ever visited Annecy with its lake and majestic mountains can readily understand the reason. It is one of the most beautiful places on the European continent. With such magnificent scenery, one can easily appreciate why the people of Annecy would feel very close to nature. They are especially conscious of the wind. The north wind is so well-known that it has a special name. Many of the people living in Annecy speak of their illnesses and discomfort as being caused by la bise, the north wind. In the south, it is the sirocco or le vent du midi which blows constantly, especially in the summer. Anyone who has been at the Avignon summer festival can readily attest to this. The Holy Spirit and the Elements Like St. Francis de Sales, the people of biblical times were very close to nature and to the elements. They attributed the awesome power in nature, especially of the elements – wind, fire, water and storms – to be the direct actions and interventions of God. If we view nature the way the people of the Old Testament did, then we might get a less elusive understanding of God, of the Holy Spirit, and of a theology of the Word.

  • The Story of the Land That Never Was
    The Land That Never Was The Story of The Land That Never Was There is a story about the four winds that blow across our world. A long time ago, before people could read, they thought that the four winds came from The Land That Never Was! In The Land That Never Was, there lived four giants. No one had ever actually seen those giants. Everyone had felt their breath many times, so they gave the giants these names: Great East Wind, Great West Wind, Great North Wind, and Great South Wind. Their mouths were large and round because these giants had very large appetites, and The Great EAST Wind The Great WEST Wind The Great NORTH Wind The Great SOUTH Wind very large stomachs to hold all they ate. They were so large that they had to eat almost constantly. They loved to eat furniture, animals, rocks, The Great EAST Wind The Great WEST Wind The Great NORTH Wind The Great SOUTH Wind small trees, and flowers, but most of all they loved to eat letters, numbers, and words! When they ate something they liked, they would say, “Oooh, The Great EAST Wind The Great WEST Wind The Great NORTH Wind The Great SOUTH Wind that tasted good.” But because they were so big, when they said, “Oooh,” their breath sent a wind all the way from The Land That The Great EAST Wind The Great WEST Wind The Great NORTH Wind The Great SOUTH Wind Never Was to our earth. Exercise: On each of the following pages you will find one of the Great Wind Giants and what he has eaten.

  • Ye Gods! the Aztec Pantheon
    YE GODS! THE AZTEC PANTHEON The Aztec pantheon is probably larger, more diverse, and flat-out scarier than that of any other culture in the world. Indeed, the Hindus have a few dozen deities, including fairly weird ones, and the Egyptians kept a veritable divine zoo, but the Aztecs worshipped hundreds of divinities, many right up there with your worst nightmares. In that pinnacle civilization of the pre-Columbian Americas, the uniquely human propensity to personify (whether singly or multiply) the natural, the divine, the ineluctable, and/or the supernatural, ran hog wild. For the Aztecs, almost every aspect of the world, nature, and human life had a deity in charge of it for good or ill, and usually for both. They saw the dichotomy of what we call good and evil as more of a balancing act not of opposites, but of complementary parts in the whole, like yin and yang. That cosmic balance had to be maintained by propitiating the deities with sacrifices, human or otherwise, and some gruesome penitential practices I haven’t the intestinal fortitude to mention. Squeamish they were not. The Aztec deities, whom they largely adopted from the broad Mexican mythology, are a fascinating crowd of inter-related, extreme personalities involved in a violent soap-opera of creation/destruction, love/strife, and life/death that makes the gods of Olympus look like total wimps. Perhaps the confusing dramas, frequent aliases, and surreal images are due to the fact that the Mexicans and their deities indulged in psychoactive drugs like alcoholic pulque, peyote, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and many other psychedelic herbs.
