  • Verse in Fraser's Magazine
    Curran Index - Table of Contents Listing Fraser's Magazine For a general introduction to Fraser's Magazine see the Wellesley Index, Volume II, pages 303-521. Poetry was not included in the original Wellesley Index, an absence lamented by Linda Hughes in her influential article, "What the Wellesley Index Left Out: Why Poetry Matters to Periodical Studies," Victorian Periodicals Review, 40 (2007), 91-125. As Professor Hughes notes, Eileen Curran was the first to attempt to remedy this situation in “Verse in Bentley’s Miscellany vols. 1-36,” VPR 32 (1999), 103-159. As one part of a wider effort on the part of several scholars to fill these gaps in Victorian periodical bibliography and attribution, the Curran Index includes a listing of verse published in Fraser's Magazine from 1831 to 1854. EDITORS: Correct typo, 2:315, 1st line under this heading: Maginn, if he was editor, held the office from February 1830, the first issue, not from 1800.

  • Judges 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Judges 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The English title, "Judges," comes to us from the Latin translation (Vulgate), which the Greek translation (Septuagint) influenced. In all three languages, the title means "judges." This title is somewhat misleading, however, because most English-speaking people associate the modern concept of a "judge" with Israel's "judges." As we shall see, judges then were very different from judges now. The Hebrew title is also "Judges" (Shophetim). The book received its name from its principal characters, as the Book of Joshua did. The "judge" in Israel was not a new office during the period of history that this book records. Moses had ordered the people to appoint judges in every Israelite town to settle civil disputes (Deut. 16:18). In addition, there was to be a "chief justice" at the tabernacle who would, with the high priest, help settle cases too difficult for the local judges (Deut. 17:9). Evidently there were several judges at the tabernacle who served jointly as Israel's "Supreme Court" (Deut. 19:17). When Joshua died, God did not appoint a man to succeed him as the military and political leader of the entire nation of Israel. Instead, each tribe was to proceed to conquer and occupy its allotted territory. As the need arose, God raised up several different individuals who were "judges," in various parts of Israel at various times, to lead segments of the Israelites against local enemies. In the broadest sense, the Hebrew word shophet, translated "judge," means "bringer of justice." The word was used in ancient Carthage and Ugarit to describe civil magistrates.1 1Charles F.

  • Through the Bible Study Judges 13-16
    THROUGH THE BIBLE STUDY JUDGES 13-16 The California redwoods are one of the wonders of nature. They’re colossal. The trees are skyscrapers - their girth is gigantic - they’re kings of the forest. And nothing is as impressive as the falling of one of these redwoods… The cutters score the tree trunk. They move the saw back and forth, and the cut deepens. Soon, the tree starts to bend. It leans further and further from the cutters. Before long you hear the cracking of wood fibers. With each slice of the saw the noise builds. Eventually, it swells to a roar. The tree begins to fall. If you’re underneath it seems that the sky is falling. The trunk explodes along the cut-line, and the tree crashes to the forest floor. It sounds like thunder. Tonight, I need to yell “TIIIIIIMBEEEER…” - for we’re going to watch the falling of a redwood… not of a giant tree, but a giant of a man. Samson was huge – not necessarily in physical stature, but in privilege, and power, and effectiveness for God. Samson was a Nazirite (dedicated to God). He came from a godly home - served in an important post - was feared by his enemies - was used by God in supernatural ways. Samson was God’s Strongman. He was a divine vigilante – a one-man wrecking crew. Samson was a redwood. Yet Samson fell… The saw slides back and forth - the !1 slender score line around his heart deepens – he leans – finally cracks – Samson falls hard. We’ve all met a Samson – a person who had it all… beautiful spouse, good job, healthy kids, good reputation, effective ministry.

  • Samson JUDGES 13-16 Questions for Reflection
    PARTICIPANT’S GUIDE LESSON 14-16: Samson JUDGES 13-16 OPPRESSION #7 Read Judges 13:1-25. 1. Who are the Philistines and where are they generally located? 2. How long do they oppress Israel? 3. There has been a pattern of Israel crying for help and God answering. What happens this time? 4. The narrative begins at a place called Zorah. o The name Zorah (Heb. tsorah) comes from the root word, tsirah, meaning “hornet.” What is the purpose of the hornet? (Exod. 23:28, Deut. 7:20, Josh. 24:12) o Tsirah comes from the root word, tsarah, which means to be leprous. What is the purpose of leprosy? o What is the connection between a hornet and leprosy—how are they alike in purpose? The purpose of the hornet (tsorah): The purpose of leprosy (tsarah): o In what sense is Israel leprous at this point? 5. The narrative begins with a man named Manoah. What does the name Manoah mean? 6. Why would the author want to remind us at this point that Israel still has a “sitting down” place in the Land (that their place in the kingdom is secure)? Questions for Reflection: • Which churches in Revelation 3 follow the model of leprous Israel pictured here? • Why would these churches need that reminder that they still have a “sitting-down” place in the kingdom—a secure inheritance? • Obviously, God no longer afflicts us with physical leprosy, but our spiritual “old man” can have a leprous quality about him. Paul says in Ephesians 4:17-19: “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.” (NKJV) Blindness, being past feeling, being alienated from God—these are all “leprous” conditions.

  • Poems by Menke Katz
    Poems by Menke Katz MY FATHER HEERSHE DOVID USED TO SAY On Old and Young Fools are old at birth, old is the laughter of the young bore and the voice of the toad. Old is the gossip of the cricket, the tattle of the telltale, the piping crow. Old is Mammon who sees the stars diving into busy rivers to mint rare coins. Young are the kisses of the Song of Songs. Young was my grandfather's last rising dream, as he took death out of his lucky bag, listened to the labored wind, bread scented, operating the sails of his old mill, grinding the ripe grain into sated flour; blessing with the townfolk the new moon. Young is the oldest gold of every dawn. STILL CLEAR NIGHT Stars sleep on needles of ice, hushed brooks are fettered with frost. Chimney swifts, smoke-blinded, join the winter moths, flutter over burnt pentateuchs, seeking Spring at the last sparks which refuse to die, scintillate the ashes like rare gems. Two brave pages (ancient sunsets yellow each letter) find their way back through the remains of the synagogue, cover as with the hands of cherubs the anguished commandment: 'thou shall not kill.' Moses leaves the scorched tablets, rises wherever the mourned dust is thirsty for tears. AGAINST LOCK OR RHYME Poems, sit in rhymes like men, birds, beasts in cages. I saw Samson with fist in the teeth of a lion, forced to his knees under the load of rhymes. Poet, brother, let your word roll un- rhymed as thunder, let it flash like free lightning through the fog: over a parched field, the eager harbinger of rain.

Events in the Old Testament January 28, 2015 “Samson – Living Irresponsibly” Background Any names pop in your mind of public officials, famous athletes, religious leaders, etc., who have lived in an incredibly irresponsible manner? Is this a new phenomenon? In the judges’ period of Biblical history, Israel followed a pattern. First, the people sinned and began to worship other gods. Second, the Lord brought discipline to His people through a foreign oppressor. Third, the people cried out to God in repentance and promised if God would take the oppressor away they would serve Him faithfully. Fourth, God would rise up a judge who brought military victory and governed the people for some time afterward. But when that judge died, the cycle would begin again. The Lord chose Samson before Samson was born to serve as one of Israel’s judges. This lesson emphasizes Samson’s irresponsible behavior and disastrous consequences that followed his foolish actions. WHO • God: God is the central character.

  • SAMSON: FLAWED FOUNDATION: LESSON TWO | PAGE 2 JUDGES 13:2-6 NLT “In Those Days a Man Named Manoah from the Tribe of Dan Lived in the Town of Zorah
    LESSON 2 | SAMSON: FLAWED FOUNDATION amson is a picture of one who has been supernaturally gifted by the power of SGod, but lacks the integrity to withstand temptation. There is no doubt that God had a specific purpose for his life and had blessed him with supernatural strength to accomplish that purpose. Is it possible to wield the power of God apart from the purity of God? It appears so, not only here, but also in the New Testament as we consider the example of the Corinthian believers. They had been blessed with every gift of the Spirit, yet continued to live in carnality and had to be disciplined. As we seek the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we must also consider the integrity of our heart and the purity of our spirit. If we imagine Samson as a building, we see that while he was founded on the promise and blessing of God, there were flaws in his character. When he became an adult, he built his life around the supernatural abilities given to him by God. However, because his foundation was flawed, his house was doomed. He continuously got too close to the edge and eventually fell over. All that he built collapsed in a moment in Delilah’s lap. The Holy Spirit departed from Him because he finally stepped over the line of complete disobedience. Samson was like any other man. God certainly has a plan and purpose for our lives, and He will grant us the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish that purpose and plan.

  • Unleashing the Spirit: Preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation
    ST. GREGORY THE GREA T CATHOLIC CHURCH Unleashing the Spirit: Preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation “The Holy Spirit draws us into the mystery of the living God ... he impels us to open the doors and go forth to proclaim and bear witness to the good news of the Gospel, to communicate the joy of faith, the encounter with Christ. The Holy Spirit is the soul of mission.” — Pope Francis, Homily on Pentecost Sunday, May 19, 2013 — ST. GREGORY THE GREAT CATHOLIC CHURCH 31 Saint Gregory Drive Bluffton, SC 29909 Phone: 843-815-3100 Fax: 843-815-3150 Email: [email protected] Welcome & Introduction “I received Confirmation three years ago, and it was an incredible sacrament to experience. It was so amazing to experience because God, in His infinite mercy and understanding, has given the sacrament many visible signs for us to better understand the invisible happenings of the sacrament. As we are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the bishop quite literally seals us with Holy Chrism, which has so many meanings behind it. It symbolizes the new strength we are given in the sacrament and the distinguishable perfume symbolized the indelible mark on our souls. The Bishop also says the words aloud, which reverberated in my heart and still reminds me of the gift I received. I am very thankful to have been able to receive it.” — Liliana W. 11th grade, Homeschool What a powerful reminder from the ‘young Church’! The work of God in the mystery of the Blessed Trinity continually invites everyone and provides opportunities for all to be drawn into that very divine life.
