Occasion Since Roman authorities at this time were beginning to enforce emperor worship, Christians -- who held that Christ, not Caesar, was Lord -- were facing increasing hostility. Purpose John writes to encourage the faithful to resist staunchly the demands of emperor worship. Literary Form For an adequate understanding of Revelation, the reader must recognize that it is a distinct kind of literature. Distinctive Feature A distinctive feature is the frequent use of the number seven 52 times. Interpretation Interpreters of Revelation normally fall into four groups: Preterists understand the book exclusively in terms of its first-century setting, claiming that most of its events have already taken place. Historicists take it as describing the long chain of events from Patmos to the end of history. Futurists place the book primarily in the end times. Idealists view it as symbolic pictures of such timeless truths as the victory of good over evil. What's the Significance of the "," in Revelation 14? Brandon Crowe. When Was the Book of Revelation Written? Vern Poythress. What Does "the Dragon" in Revelation 12 Represent? What's the Book of Revelation All About? Byron Yawn. What's the Significance of the Tree of Life in Revelation ? Who is the Antichrist? Colin Smith. Haynes Jr. Michael A. Is Hell a Real Place? The Sacrificed Lamb. The Old Testament's promise of God's future victorious kingdom was inaugurated through Jesus, the crucified Passover Lamb and Messiah who alone opened the sealed scroll. Seven Judgments. Three sets of seven divine judgments do not generate repentance in the nations. Instead, only God's mercy shown through Jesus and believers who die for enemies does. Final Battle. Several symbols signify spiritual and earthly battles. The church can choose to resist Babylon and follow the Lamb or follow the beast and suffer defeat. God's Kingdom. After the rebellion against God and the final battle, King Jesus returns to punish evil, vindicate His followers, and reign forever in the New Jerusalem. Read Scripture Part II.

Edit Cast Credited cast: Yasmin Bird Julia Rhys Horler Yet you have held fast to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day when My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells. Otherwise I will come to you shortly and wage war against them with the sword of My mouth. To the one who is victorious, I will give the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it. To the Church in Thyatira Acts 18 To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like a blazing fire and whose feet are like polished bronze. By her teaching she misleads My servants to be sexually immoral and to eat food sacrificed to idols. To the Church in Sardis 1 To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father and His angels. To the Church in Philadelphia 7 To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens, no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open. See, I have placed before you an open door, which no one can shut. For you have only a little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name. I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and they will know that I love you. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. How I wish you were one or the other! Therefore be earnest and repent. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. Worship of the Creator 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings, and peals of thunder. Before the throne burned seven torches of fire. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals. The lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God sent out into all the earth. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth. The Fifth Seal: The Martyrs 9 And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. The Sixth Seal: Terror 12 And when I saw the Lamb open the sixth seal, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth of goat hair, and the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. Praise from the Great Multitude 9 After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength to our God forever and ever! The Seventh Seal 1 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. He was given much incense to offer, along with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The First Four Trumpets 6 And the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. A third of the earth was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all the green grass. A third of the sea turned to blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well. Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the remaining three angels! His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, a and in Greek it is Apollyon. Behold, two woes are still to follow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk. The Angel and the Small Scroll 1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices. Do not measure it, because it has been given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for 42 months. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed. The Witnesses Killed and Raised 7 When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them.

Emanuel Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 KEYWORDS: tropical cyclones, convection,moist convection,finite-amplitude instability INTRODUCTION The hurricane remains one of the outstanding enigmas of fluid dynamics. This is so, in part, because the phenomenonis comparatively difficult to observe and because no laboratory analogue has been discovered. To this it must be added that hurricanes have received surprisingly little attention from the theoretically inclined fluid dynamicist, perhaps owing to an understandable tendency to avoid problems that involve complex thermo- dynamics and lack laboratory analogues. Yet hurricanes involve a rich spectrum of fluid-dynamical processes, including rotating, stratified flow dynamics, boundary layers, convection, and air-sea interaction; as such, they provide a wealth of interesting and consequential research problems. This article reviews recent developments in the theory of hurricanes and delineates the important remaining scientific challenges. THE MATURE HURRICANE: A NATURAL CARNOT ENGINE About 80 rotating circulations knowngenerically as tropical cyclones form over the tropical oceans each year. Of these, roughly 60%reach an intensity (maximumwinds in excess of 32 m s- 1) that qualifies them as hurricanes, a term applied only in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. (Similar storms in other parts of the world go by different names.) Anexcellent review of the climatology and observed characteristics of these storms is provided by Anthes (1982). Here we use the term hurricane in place of the generic term tropical cyclone.

All of the most credible, most prestigious scientific organizations accept the fundamental findings of the IPCC. The last comprehensive report from the IPCC, based on research, came out in 2007. And at that time, they said in this report, which is known as AR-4, that there is "very high confidence" that the net effect of human activities since 1750 has been one of warming.

    CHAPTER 15 EMANUEL 15.1 Chapter 15 100 Years of Progress in Tropical Cyclone Research KERRY EMANUEL Lorenz Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts ABSTRACT A century ago, meteorologists regarded tropical cyclones as shallow vortices, extending upward only a few kilometers into the troposphere, and nothing was known about their physics save that convection was somehow involved. As recently as 1938, a major hurricane struck the densely populated northeastern United States with no warning whatsoever, killing hundreds. In the time since the American Meteorological Society was founded, however, tropical cyclone research blossomed into an endeavor of great breadth and depth, encompassing fields ranging from atmospheric and oceanic dynamics to biogeochemistry, and the precision and scope of forecasts and warnings have achieved a level of success that would have been regarded as impossible only a few decades ago. This chapter attempts to document the extraordinary progress in tropical cyclone research over the last century and to suggest some avenues for productive research over the next one. 1. Introduction As valuable as these contributions were, almost nothing was known about the vertical structure of tropical cyclones, By the time that the American Meteorological Society or the basic physical mechanism that drives them. Indeed, (AMS) was founded in 1919, mariners, engineers, and up through the 1930s, it was widely believed, on the basis scientists had made great strides in characterizing the of the observed rapid diminution of surface winds after climatology of tropical cyclones, including their favored landfall, that their circulation extended upward only 3 km formation regions, tracks, seasonal variability, and sur- or so, while the reigning theory for their power source was face wind field.

Key technologies. First, we'll explore the historical background of the book of Revelation. So far in our lesson, we've discussed the historical and theological background of the book of Revelation. And Jewish theologians increasingly longed for the coming of the messiah to end this age and usher in the age to come. End times Apocalypticism. We can see this in Revelation ;10, 13; and We have to think about how the unexpected delay of God's kingdom, how it affected the outlook of the original audience, the original readers of the book of Revelation.

For instance, in 1 Corinthianshe wrote that the fulfillment of the ages had come in Christ.

  • The Tunguska Event
    THE TUNGUSKA EVENT Compiled by Campbell M Gold (2012) CMG Archives http://campbellmgold.com (This material was compiled from various unverified sources) --()-- Introduction The Tunguska event was a powerful explosion that occurred at 60 degrees 55'N-101 degrees 57'E, near the Podkamennaya ("Under Rock") Tunguska River, in what is now Evenk Autonomous Okrug, at 07:17 AM (local time) on 30 June 1908. Something exploded 5 to 10 kilometres (3 to 6 miles) above the Stony Tunguska River; and approximately 2,150 square kilometres of Siberian taiga were devastated and some 80 millions trees were overthrown. Even now (2012), it is still not clear what was the source of the explosion - was it the result of an exploding comet fragment, meteoroid, or something else? Above - Location of the Tunguska Event The explosion was 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped (06 Aug 1945) on Hiroshima, Japan; and it flattened an estimated 80+ million trees over a 2,150 square kilometre (830 square mile) area. 1 The estimated level of the shockwave from the blast would have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale. The Tunguska incident is the largest impact event in recorded history; and despite many expeditions and careful searches neither craters nor meteoric debris have been discovered. An explosion of this magnitude would have the power to destroy a large metropolitan area. Above - Rome area compared with that of the Tunguska devastation. Yellow: area of charred trees. Green: area of felled trees Above - London area compared with that of the Tunguska devastation. 2 --()-- The Object's Size Different studies have suggested varying estimates of the object's size, with general agreement being that it was some 30 or so meters across.

  • Numerical Simulations of Hypercanes Charley and Fay in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico Over a Warm Ocean
    Answers Research Journal 5 (2012):13–24. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v5/hypercanes-charley-and-fay.pdf Numerical Simulations of Hypercanes Charley and Fay in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico over a Warm Ocean Larry Vardiman, Institute for Creation Research, 1806 Royal Lane, Dallas, TX 75229 Wesley Brewer, Fluid Physics International, 403-B Santa Anita Drive, Starkville, MS 39759 Abstract Two tropical cyclones were simulated with the NCAR WRF model to determine if warm sea-surface temperatures would cause them to intensify into hypercanes and follow similar storm tracks as the original cyclones. Hurricane Charley (2004) and Tropical Storm Fay (2008) were successfully replicated with the actual sea-surface temperature of about 30°C (86°F). The sea-surface temperature of the Atlantic Ocean was then warmed to 40°C (104°F) and winds, precipitation, and storm tracks compared to the actual storms. Both storms intensified, but not as much as had been anticipated, and the storm tracks diverged greatly from storm tracks of the actual cyclones. The reason appears to be the large cyclonic circulation which developed off the southeastern coast of the United States and steered the hypercanes away from Florida. Strong vertical wind shears also developed in the circulation which suppresses the intensification of hurricanes.
