The Lamb's Book of Life the Name of Every Human to Be Born of the Flesh The Lamb’s Book of Life The name of every human to be born of the flesh [conceived of woman] was written in the book of life by God at the foundation of the world. God will give the book to the One for whom it was always intended, His Son Jesus, the Lamb of God, and it becomes the Lamb’s book of life. By this, God reveals His plan for all creation and how that plan finds its rest in Jesus. Although we can do nothing to have our name written in the book of life, we can do something to have it erased. That something is called sin - to not believe God: His clear and plain witness, evident to all, in the six day creation and His perfect and complete witness, evident to all who hear, in the seventh day Incarnation. By the seventh day, Elohim had completed his work of creating, so He rested. His work, however, was not finished. He planned to personally rule all He had created/made and to personally make Himself known to man - the one He created able to know Him. Elohim Yahweh accomplished both on the seventh day when His "Word became flesh [incarnate] and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as ofan only-begotten of a father.” God gave the law to guard man until that day and to lead man to its Fulfillment when he was born and came into the world. After God identified the only-begotten Word as His Son Jesus at his baptism and the One all mankind is to listen to at his transfiguration, He sent him into the world to rule as His King and bear witness to the truth as His Christ. However, not all received him, believing in his name. But to all who did, God gave the right by means of a new birth to become His children and have life in His Son. The Son alone knows the Father and makes Him known, and to know God as Jesus knows Him is life. The law was never intended to rule or give life but to keep both safe until they found their rest in Jesus. Jesus is not just a sin sacrifice, another prophet, or a good teacher. Jesus is the true light that shines in the darkness, ruling all God has made, revealing the truth about Him, and reconciling all things to Him. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation and of a new creation, and the One whom God loves and in whom He is well pleased. His coming divided the closest eyewitnesses into two groups: Evildoers joined Satan in desiring to have the place and authority they knew belonged to Jesus [sin]. They attributed what Jesus did and said to Satan and falsely accused him. When this failed, they conspired with wicked men to put him to death on a cross. After his resurrection and ascension [righteousness], evildoers sought to stamp out the witness to his true identity and authority by killing his Apostles, while Satan sought to corrupt it by planting tares in the world: false apostles, prophets, and teachers. Although they were all judged in the last days of the Old Covenant [judgment] - the seven seals - their wrong response to the Incarnation survived, laying the foundation for all religions built by men. Their sin was not forgiven and their names were erased from the book of life. The Apostles believed God’s witness in Jesus and received him as His Christ and Only Son, whom He had sent. They attributed what he did and said to God and witnessed his life, death, burial, bodily resurrection, and ascension. After his ascension, they bore witness to him [the way], wrote down what they had seen and heard [the truth], and by the Spirit made known to the world what these things meant [the life]. Their witness was confirmed by the power and authority given to them by Jesus, laying the foundation for his church. Their sins - transgressions of God’s law - were forgiven by Jesus, who alone has God’s authority to forgive sins, and their names remained written in the book of life. God’s witness in Jesus by the Spirit through the Apostles is grace to all who hear, for it reveals whether they truly believe God, giving those who do not the chance to repent. All who do not believe in Jesus reveal they do not believe God [sin]. If they repent and believe, they will be forgiven by God. If they do not, they will die in their sin and their names will be erased from the book of life. When they die, their flesh returns to dust as their souls in Hades and their bodies in death await the resurrection to judgment. All who believe in Jesus reveal they believe God. They become Jesus’ disciples and are blessed in knowing who he is and obeying him. In continuing to believe the Father, they continue to hear the Spirit and have the potential for life in the Son. However, until they receive the Son, they cannot receive his Spirit and have life in his name. Moreover, without his Spirit, they cannot know their names will remain in the book of life and their sins are forgiven. Nor can they be sealed in him and assured they will not cease believing; be taught the truth that gives life and bears fruit that remains; be freed from the harsh yoke of the law and the heavy burden of guilt; be one with him and each other and so avoid dividing over their differences, denying his broken body and shed blood. Divisions put disciples in danger of falling prey to blind guides: false fathers who displace the Father, false teachers who displace the Spirit and false leaders who displace the Son. The blind leading the blind, they search the scriptures for life rather than for Jesus, who is life; they seek forgiveness for their sins and a relationship to God through their churches, their works, and their worship, rather than through Jesus; they require all who desire to please God conform to them, rather than to Jesus; they do their works to be seen and rewarded by men, rather than by God and Jesus; and they love the praise of men more than the praise of God and themselves and their own kind more than Jesus and his sheep in other folds. All who follow [fall prey to] blind guides cannot serve two masters and must repent to avoid being saved as one escaping through the fire. Those who do not repent are in grave danger of falling prey to hirelings and wolves in sheep’s clothing: false apostles and prophets who for personal gain claim the Apostles’ Christ-given power and authority in order to add to and subtract from their witness, denying the truth about things that were, are, and are yet to come. All who submit to these hirelings and wolves [sin] must repent to avoid being erased from the book of life. All who believing in his name receive Jesus are known to him and reveal they truly believe God. They are given the authority to become God’s children and the bride of His Son. Their souls are buried with Jesus in his death and made alive in him through his resurrection so it is no longer they who live but he who lives in them. In receiving forgiveness for their sins from Jesus alone, the One to whom God has given all authority in heaven and on earth, their bodies are cleansed by his blood so they can receive his Spirit and have life in his name - to know him and why he was born and came into the world. Moreover, by his Spirit, they know their names will remain in the book of life and their sins are forgiven, they abide in him and his love, loving all his sheep as he loves them, they see the kingdom of God; and they are sealed in him and assured they will not cease believing; are taught the truth that gives life and in that truth they worship the Father, conform to the Son, and repeat the Spirit’s witness bearing fruit that remains; are saved from fruitless lives to walk in good works God has prepared for them; are joined to Rv7 his church, the earthly witness to his kingdom in heaven; and are one with him and each other in his broken body, revealing his oneness with the Father. When they die [fall asleep], their flesh returns to dust as their bodies in death await the resurrection to life. – In the last days of the New Covenant, all the earth will hear the seven trumpets, but there is no repentance, for the trumpets are sounded to call mankind to account for decisions already made. Those who have not believed God will kill His two witnesses, Moses [the law] and Elijah [the Spirit] and worship the beast and receive his mark. Those who have truly believed God’s witness in creation but have not heard His witness in Jesus will hear and receive him. Those who have believed God’s witness in Jesus but have not received him are unprepared for his coming [lamps without oil] and will deny what they have believed [bury their talents], deny Jesus himself [not show love to the least of his brethren], and worship the beast and receive his mark [fall away]. Those who believing God’s witness in Jesus have received him will stand firm in the midst of suffering, even unto death, and refuse to worship the beast and receive his mark.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Hotel Worker Safety Ordinance
    Information Item Date: August 8, 2019 To: Mayor and City Council From: Anuj Gupta, Deputy City Manager / Director of Policy Subject: Analysis of hotel housekeeper safety protections, overtime compensation and required training for human trafficking, sexual and domestic violence, and public health and safety Introduction Santa Monica has long been at the forefront of both supporting the visitor industry that is a key part of our local economy as well as promoting the wellbeing and rights of the workers in our hotels and restaurants. In October 2017, the advocacy efforts of the #MeToo movement rose to prominence, spurring national conversations around protecting workers from sexual harassment and assault in the workplace. The #MeToo movement has touched almost every industry, bringing increased pressure to policy- making bodies to adopt legislation to protect employees in various sectors from workplace harassment and assault. With over eight million visitors annually, 41 hotels and motels anchor Santa Monica’s robust tourism industry, employing about 2,100 hotel housekeepers. As the national discussion around protecting individuals from sexual assault and harassment in the workplace continues, the City of Santa Monica’s Commission on the Status of Women (COSW) spearheaded efforts to bring a hotel housekeepers’ safety policy on the local level that is in line with policies adopted in other cities such as Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Chicago. Last October, the Santa Monica City Council (Council) unanimously directed City staff to prepare a draft ordinance on hotel worker safety for consideration and adoption. Staff 1 anticipates introducing an ordinance for first reading at the August 27, 2019 meeting.

  • 1933–1941, a New Deal for Forest Service Research in California
    The Search for Forest Facts: A History of the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, 1926–2000 Chapter 4: 1933–1941, A New Deal for Forest Service Research in California By the time President Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his landslide election in 1932, forest research in the United States had grown considerably from the early work of botanical explorers such as Andre Michaux and his classic Flora Boreali- Americana (Michaux 1803), which first revealed the Nation’s wealth and diversity of forest resources in 1803. Exploitation and rapid destruction of forest resources had led to the establishment of a federal Division of Forestry in 1876, and as the number of scientists professionally trained to manage and administer forest land grew in America, it became apparent that our knowledge of forestry was not entirely adequate. So, within 3 years after the reorganization of the Bureau of Forestry into the Forest Service in 1905, a series of experiment stations was estab- lished throughout the country. In 1915, a need for a continuing policy in forest research was recognized by the formation of the Branch of Research (BR) in the Forest Service—an action that paved the way for unified, nationwide attacks on the obvious and the obscure problems of American forestry. This idea developed into A National Program of Forest Research (Clapp 1926) that finally culminated in the McSweeney-McNary Forest Research Act (McSweeney-McNary Act) of 1928, which authorized a series of regional forest experiment stations and the undertaking of research in each of the major fields of forestry. Then on March 4, 1933, President Roosevelt was inaugurated, and during the “first hundred days” of Roosevelt’s administration, Congress passed his New Deal plan, putting the country on a better economic footing during a desperate time in the Nation’s history.

    “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE FOREVER” -John 11:25 Preparing a Funeral Mass St. Mary’s Parish Mansfield, MA Telephone: 508-339-2981 FAX: 508-339-0612 The Church, through its Funeral Rites, commends those who have died to God’s merciful love and affirms and expresses the union of the Church on earth with the Church in heaven. Though separated from the living, the dead are still one with the community of believers here on earth and benefit from our prayers and intercession. In the Funeral Rites, we proclaim our belief that all the faithful will be raised up and reunited in the new heavens and a new earth, where death will be no more. The purpose of this book is to assist you in planning a Funeral Mass according to the Rite of the Roman Catholic Church here at St. Mary’s Parish. The Order of Christian Funerals is composed of three stations or movements: A Vigil Prayer Service at the Funeral Home, a Funeral Mass at the Church and a Committal at the place of burial.

  • God's Eternal Plan #33 the Book of Life Revelation 20:1115 In
    God’s Eternal Plan #33 The Book Of Life Revelation 20:1115 In Revelation 20:12, 15 there is a reference made to the "book of life." This subject has caused a tremendous amount of confusion for the casual student of the Bible, and has caused an amount of disagreement among Bible scholars. In order for us to better understand what God is saying to us, we will need to go all the way back in the Old Testament to the book of Exodus 32:3034, "Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin. Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold! Yet now, if You will forgive their sin - but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written. And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin.” Although this is an Old Testament Scripture, Moses asked God to "blot" his name "out of Your book which You have written." Now, look at God's response, “And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.” The point here is this – the names are already IN the "book." With that thought in mind, look with me at Philippians 4:3, "And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.” Now, with that thought in mind, look at Revelation 13:7-8, "It was granted to him (the Beast) to make war with the saints and to overcome them.

  • Some Reflections on Life and Death from the Old Testament
    TTJ 12.1 (2009): 8-24 ISSN 1598-7140 Some Reflections on Life and Death from the Old Testament Cristian G. Rata Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology, Korea The Bible is the “Book of Life” and God is its ultimate author, who is also the Creator and Sustainer of Life. But what is this life about and what is its relationship to death and afterlife? In the first part of this essay, I will briefly introduce the Old Testament positions on life, death, and the afterlife. Then, I will focus mainly on the book of Psalms to clarify the positions. In the second part of the essay, I will highlight the question of the afterlife and the resurrection. A more comprehensive textual treatment of life, death, and the afterlife was recently provided by Philip S. Johnston.1 An earlier com- prehensive discussion of these topics belongs to R. Martin-Achard in 1960.2 Both of these volumes engage the relevant biblical material and the secondary literature well. Life in the Old Testament The Old Testament is preoccupied with life. Thus, the root “to live” (Heb. khayah) is found approximately 800 times in the Old Testament.3 Life is an “all-encompassing concept” usually centered on the God of 1. Shades of Sheol: Death and Afterlife in the Old Testament (Downers Grove: IVP, 2002). A more general (and massive) introduction to afterlife in western religions is that of Alan F. Segal, Life after Death: A History of the Afterlife in Western Religion (New York: Doubleday, 2004). The Old Testament section of Segal is less informed and nuanced than that to of Johnston.

INTRODUCTORY The writer of this book has been in this world some forty- two years. That may not seem long to some, but it is long enough to have made many painful mistakes, and to have learned much from them. Looking about him, he sees others making these same mistakes, suffering for lack of that same knowledge which he has so painfully acquired. This being the case, it seems a friendly act to offer his knowledge, minus the blunders and the pain. There come to the writer literally thousands of letters every year, asking him questions, some of them of the strangest. A man is dying of cancer, and do I think it can be cured by a fast ? A man is unable to make his wife happy, and can I tell him what is the matter with women? A man has invested his savings in mining stock, and can I tell him what to do about it? A man works in a sweatshop, and has only a little time for self-improvement, and will I tell him what books he ought to read? Many such questions every day make one aware of a vast mass of people, earnest, hungry for happiness, and groping as if in a fog.
