  • APOCALYPTICISM, ESCHATOLOGY, and REVELATION 11:19 -- 12:18: CONQUERING CHAOS and EVIL DURING the APOCALYPSE by CYNTHIA ANNE MILLER SMITH
    APOCALYPTICISM, ESCHATOLOGY, AND REVELATION 11:19 -- 12:18: CONQUERING CHAOS AND EVIL DURING THE APOCALYPSE by CYNTHIA ANNE MILLER SMITH (Under the Direction of Wayne Coppins) ABSTRACT This thesis largely consists of an exegetical commentary on Revelation 11:19 -- 12:18, the section about the Woman/Virgin Mary/Ark of the Covenant/Israel/the Church in the agony of giving birth to the Messiah/Christ/Anointed and the cosmic war between Michael and the Dragon who also fights against the Woman's seed. It contains a discussion of who the Woman is, who are her faithful seed, and how the text is a non-Christian Jewish original later redacted by a Christian editor, John of Patmos. Apocalyptic literature is described as a popular genre, found also in the Book of the prophet Daniel to which Revelation is related, that John the Divine uses to emphasize that Jesus will usher in the eschaton so that eventually Satan/evil is defeated and God/good triumphs. This passage is the focal point that holds the entire revelation together, and also functions as a transition to the remainder of the text.

    FREEORESTES AND OTHER PLAYS EBOOK Euripides,Robin Waterfield | 288 pages | 15 May 2009 | Oxford University Press | 9780199552436 | English | Oxford, United Kingdom Orestes (play) - Wikipedia In accordance with the advice of the god Apollo, Orestes has killed his mother Clytemnestra to avenge the death of his father Agamemnon at her hands. Despite Apollo's earlier prophecy, Orestes finds himself tormented by Erinyes or Furies to the Orestes and Other Plays guilt stemming from his matricide. The only person capable of calming Orestes down from his madness is his sister Electra. To complicate matters further, a leading political faction of Argos wants to put Orestes to death for the murder. In the chronology of events following Orestes, this Orestes and Other Plays takes place after the events contained in plays such as Electra by Euripides and Sophocles or The Libation Bearers by Aeschylusand before events contained in plays Orestes and Other Plays Andromache by Euripides. Orestes presents a very different version of the myth which was also depicted by Aeschylus in The Eumenides. The Orestes and Other Plays begins with a soliloquy that outlines the basic plot and events that have led up to this point from Electra, who stands next to a sleeping Orestes. After Helen leaves, a chorus of Argive women enters to help advance the plot. Then Orestes, still maddened by the Furies, awakes. Menelaus arrives at the palace, and he and Orestes discuss the murder and the resulting madness. As Tyndareus leaves, he warns Menelaus that he will need the old man as an ally. Orestes, in supplication before Menelaus, hopes to gain the compassion that Tyndareus would not grant in an attempt to get him to speak before the assembly of Argive men.
