(Rev 13:16-18) 16 Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines. 17 Let him which is on the house top, not come downe, to take any thing out of his house: (Prov 21:9, Gal 6:10) 18 Neither let him which is in the field, returne backe to take his clothes. (Luke 17:35- 37) 19 And woe vnto them that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes. (Lam 4:3) 20 But pray yee that your flight bee not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: When you see the Abomination of Desolation Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor euer shall be. 22 And except those dayes should be shortned, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake, those dayes shall be shortned. 23 Then if any man shall say vnto you, Loe, heere is Christ, or there: beleeue it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shal shew great signes and wonders: insomuch that (if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect. (Exodus 7) When you see the Abomination of Desolation Mark 13:24 - But in those dayes, after that tribulation, the Sunne shalbe darkned, and the Moone shall not giue her light. [25] And the Starres of heauen shall fall, and the powers that are in heauen shall be shaken. [26] And then shal they see the Sonne of man comming in the cloudes, with great power and glory. [27] And then shal he send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the foure winds, from the vttermost part of the earth, to the vttermost part of heauen.

Zechariach 5:3 Then said hee vnto mee; This is the curse, that goeth forth ouer the face of the whole earth: for euery one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side, according to it; and euery one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side, according to it.

Zeph 3:8 Therefore waite ye vpon mee, sayth the Lord, vntill the day that I rise vp to the pray: for my European Union determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdomes to powre vpon them mine indignation, euen all my fierce anger: for all the earth shalbe deuoured with the fire of my iealousie.

Eze 21:31 And I will powre out mine indignation vpon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of brutish men and skilfull to destroy.

Once again, but this time on a universal scale, humankind is seeking no less than its reunion with 'divine,' its transcendence into higher forms of life. Hindus call our earth Brahma, or God, for they rightly see no difference between our earth and the divine. This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning again upon humanity, as we are about to enter our cosmic age and become what we were always meant to be: the planet of god." - Robert Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary General and Chancellor of the UN University for Peace When you see the Abomination of Desolation Roman Catholic Although Muller grew up in a Catholic home, he Robert Muller admits that he wasn't inspired to become a "really spiritual person" until years later, when he joined the UN. [1] Nevertheless, he feels that his Catholic upbringing prepared him to accept the New Age worldview which he now holds. (1) Robert Muller, New Genesis - Shaping a Global Spirituality (Anacortes, WA: World Happiness and Cooperation, 1982), 169. - Robert Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary General and Chancellor of the UN University for Peace Whether we worship one God, many or none -- we in the United Nations have to sustain and strengthen our faith every day. As demands on our Organization multiply, we need more and more of this precious commodity. I am profoundly grateful to his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for bestowing some of his faith on us -- and for placing his trust in us. He possesses both of these in abundance. May we be strengthened by his visit today. Thank you very much. http://www.un.org/apps/news/infocus/sgspeeches/statments_full.asp ?statID=219#.UwPYroVRhCo …Ladies and Gentlemen, the theme of this year’s observance is “Education for Peace”.

(17) In early June 1999, the translators of the new interconfessional Polish Bible were presented to Pope John Paul II at a special ecumenical service in Drohiczyn, Poland. On May 31, 1999, the Pope mentioned the new translation while speaking at the 46th Eucharistic Congress in Wroclaw, Poland. He praised the ecumenical spirit of the Bible societies and said that once Christians are committed to the path of ecumenism there is no turning back. (21) In July 2002 the United Bible Societies opened a joint exhibition in Rome with the Vatican Library, which traced the history of the printed Bible and its impact on culture and people. The grand opening was attended by Monsignor Raffaele Farina, Director of the Vatican Library, and UBS General Secretary Fergus Macdonald. One thing that was missing from this exhibit, of course, was the documentation of Rome’s vicious inquisition and her millennia-long attempt to keep the Bible out of the hands of the common people. http://www.wayoflife.org/database/wcc.html http://www.ukapologetics.net/08/oneworldchurch.htm When you see the Abomination of Desolation Redefining the Bible: More than a generation ago, Kurt Aland raised the question of reducing the biblical canon by omitting works that some scholars consider to be an embarrassment to the majority of the church, for example, the apocalyptic literature of the New Testament (2 Peter, Revelation, etc.) in order to promote Christian unity.

Poston December 2018 © 2018 Lance E. Poston. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Deconstructing Sodom and Gomorrah: A Historical Analysis of the Mythology of Black Homophobia by LANCE E. POSTON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Katherine Jellison Professor of History Joseph Shields Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT POSTON, LANCE E., PH.D., December 2018, History Deconstructing Sodom and Gomorrah: A Historical Analysis of the Mythology of Black Homophobia Director of Dissertation: Katherine Jellison This dissertation challenges the widespread myth that black Americans make up the most homophobic communities in the United States. After outlining the myth and illustrating that many Americans of all backgrounds had subscribed to this belief by the early 1990s, the project challenges the narrative of black homophobia by highlighting black urban neighborhoods in the first half of the twentieth century that permitted and even occasionally celebrated open displays of queerness. By the 1960s, however, the black communities that had hosted overt queerness were no longer recognizable, as the public balls, private parties, and other spaces where same-sex contacts took place were driven underground. This shift resulted from the rise of the black Civil Rights Movement, whose middle-class leadership – often comprised of ministers from the black church – rigorously promoted the respectability of the race.

  • Same-Sex Desire and Jewish Community: Queering Biblical Texts in Canadian and American Jewish Literature Shlomo Gleibman York University
    Same-Sex Desire and Jewish Community: Queering Biblical Texts in Canadian and American Jewish Literature Shlomo Gleibman York University It has been asserted that queer subjectivity can be realized in identifications with 249 certain images of mainstream culture, sometimes to a far greater extent than in “con- ventional” forms of gay life (Sedgwick, Tendencies; Butler, Bodies; Munoz; Halperin, How). These nonlinear, nonnormative identifications and disidentifications partici- pate in the formation of multiple, hybrid identities through working on, with, and against a dominant cultural form (Munoz 3-8, 30). This essay looks at Jewish queer narratives in their relation to mainstream Jewish culture, as examples of contem- porary forms of Jewish literary imagination in North America. I am interested in exploring the ways Jewish queer culture workers read a queer valence that is already present within Jewish intellectual life in its traditional form-potentially or in actual- ity in individual experiences, and imaginatively, as a rhetorical trope in some modes of literature. The queer possibilities in reading classical Jewish texts could be better under- stood in light of the Foucauldian theory of polyvalence of discourse, developed in The History of Sexuality. This theory regards discourse as never unified or fixed, but rather as “a series of discontinuous segments, not uniform nor stable, multiplicity of discursive elements that can come into play in various strategies” (Foucault 100). In this sense, the queer valence present in classical Jewish texts and in traditional patterns of studying these texts does not constitute “homoeroticism” as a uniform narrative or as a coherent element of a larger narrative; rather, this “queer kernel” could name a play of multiple “discontinuous segments” that lend themselves to cer- tain modes of reception.

Before we consider the texts, where Gehenna occurs in the New Testament, it is of importance to notice the following facts. They have been altogether overlooked, or but little attended to in discussions on this subject. 1st. The term Gehenna is not used in the Old Testament to designate a place of endless punishment. Dr. Campbell declares positively that it has no such mean- ing there. All agree with him; and this should lead to careful inquiry whether in the New Testament it can mean a place of endless misery.

  • God's Word on Homosexuality
    TMSJ 19/2 (Fall 2008) 153-174 GOD’S WORD ON HOMOSEXUALITY: THE TRUTH ABOUT SIN AND THE REALITY OF FORGIVENESS John MacArthur President and Professor of Pastoral Ministries Through following a distorted meaning of “love,” some in the present day have condoned homosexual practice, without realizing that biblical love excludes homosexuality because of its sinfulness. Christians can best share the gospel with homosexuals by calling their lifestyle what the Bible calls it—sin. Genesis 1–2, Matthew 19, and Ephesians 5 describe clearly the way that God has instituted marriage as a monogamous, heterosexual relationship. Genesis 19, Jude 7, and 2 Peter 2 illustrate how the Fall almost immediately eroded the purity of human sexuality, including a devastation of the divine institution of marriage. Leviticus 18 and 20 and Romans 1 lay out very plainly God’s instructions about how repulsive homosexuality is in God’s sight. Yet Isaiah 56 and 1 Corinthians 6 make plain God’s plan for homosexuals to find freedom and forgiveness through a life-changing faith in Jesus Christ. The door is wide open for homosexuals and lesbians to accept God’s invitation. * * * * * “All you need is love.” So said the Beatles. If they had been singing about God’s love, the statement would have a grain of truth in it. But what usually goes by the name love in popular culture is not authentic love at all; it is actually a deadly fraud. Far from being “all you need,” the world’s distorted view of love is something Christians desperately need to avoid.

Hajek: Still a Rivalry: Contrasting Renaissance Sodomy Legislation in Fl In the year 1496, a total of 243 young Florentine boys confessed their participation in homosexual intercourse in front of the Office of the Night. Of them, not a single boy was executed, instead only receiving minor fines for their participation in such a taboo.1 Yet, at about the same time in Venice, Simeone, a young boy of 18, was being publically mutilated for his participation in the same act.2 How is it that two Italian Renaissance cities could punish the same act so disproportionately to one another? Gay men have often found themselves as a persecuted minority, and this was very much the case for homosexual males living on the Italian peninsula during the Renaissance.
