DANGER DEMOCRAT: DON'T WATCH THIS IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY VIOLENCE TO THE HUMAN BODY

HOURS after being sentenced to death by a sharia court in Somalia last May, Omar Hussein was publicly executed. He was hooded, tied to a stake and stabbed to death by the 16-year-old son of the man he had admitted stabbing to death three months earlier. In Kuwait, a Sri Lankan was executed last year by hanging, or so the authorities thought. After the body was taken to the morgue, medical staff saw he was still moving. He was finally pronounced dead only five hours after the execution had begun. In Iran, a man and a woman were stoned to death for extra-marital sex. The horrors of cruelly administered, or botched, execution are not confined to developing countries or to lands that follow the letter of hudud, traditional Islamic punishment. In Florida last December, Angel Diaz was executed by lethal injection. The three-drug cocktail that is used by 37 American states is supposed first to induce unconsciousness, then to paralyse muscles and block breathing, and finally to stop the heart. But after the first injection, Diaz continued to move, squint and grimace as he tried to mouth words. A second dose was administered

Exod 14-15).It is important to keep this Exodus / Passover imagery in mind when looking at Revelation 19. In fact, the cosmic judgment imagery of the Exodus are frequently found in prophetic texts describing God’s eschatological judgment on captive Israel’s oppressors (e.g., Isa 14:1-2; Rev 9:3-11, etc.).If one looks carefully at the allusions made within chapter 19, it seems clear that restoration imagery stands in the backdrop. 19:15).In fact, as I’ve discussed in previous posts, the restoration of Israel was often linked with imagery of an eschatological banquet not entirely dissimilar from the supper described in Revelation 19. In fact, many scholars have recognized that the imagery here is likely alluding to eschatological banquet imagery.[4] This banquet is of course most explicitly described in Isaiah 25:6-8:“On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wine on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wine on the lees well refined. Other references to the hope in the eschatological banquet are found in Isaiah 30:29, Ezekiel 39:17-20, 1Q28a 2 and 1 Enoch 62:14.In connection with this, the restoration is frequently connected with the image of the Lord feeding his people (Isa 40:11; Presumably this means that there will be an abundance of grain (“plowmen”) and wine (“vinedressers”).What is fascinating is that in addition to promises concerning bountiful food and drink both Isaiah 61 and 62 also link nuptial imagery to the eschatological restoration of God’s people.Isaiah 61:10: I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall exult in my God; For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.This would seem to confirm the view that the Isaianic restoration stands in the backdrop of Revelation 19.Aside from the Old Testament references, however, one might also refer to one other important passage in Revelation, which also links Christ’s coming with a meal:Revelation 3:20: Behold, I stand at the door and knock; 21:7-8[7]Yet, the convergence of the image of the eschatological banquet of Israel's restoration, nuptial imagery and the Eucharistic celebration probably finds its origin prior to the Apocalypse. Continue to Part 2NOTES[1] The imagery of the sealing of the 144,000 is clearly taken from Ezekiel 9, which itself evokes the imagery of the Passover.

Albert Smith (New York)

Albert Smith (June 22, 1805 - August 27, 1870) was a U.S. Representative from New York.


The minibus was facing south, and we joined the traffic at six pm, I expected Hafez saheb to turn the minibus round at some point, Osama was directing him. The rude boys starting looking around, asking me if I was sure, I told them that I had lived near here for a year. I gave it a few minutes and then spoke, “Err, Hafez saheb, we’re going the wrong way, you need to turn round.” Again no response, both the Hafez and Osama continued looking forward. The rude boys began to look at each other. The rude boys looks had turned into quiet murmurs. Admittedly, I had started to see the humourous side of this escapade a while earlier, what could I do, I was stuck between Osama and the rude boys. We saw an empty coach, from Brighton I think, heading towards the park to pick up its allocated proportion of demonstrators. As we walked back to the minibus I saw someone I thought I recognized, it was Dave, a fellow postgraduate in Leeds sociology. “How are you getting home?” “I dunno, I think I missed my coach”. “I think it’s probably gone, you know. He thought about it for a short while and then nodded, we walked back towards the minibus, “How come you guys haven’t set off yet?” I kept quiet. Osama spoke, “I don’t see any signs for the M1?” The rude boys responded vociferously and offensively. Osama couldn’t resist another comment, but the rude boys were not having any of it. A hundred words came out so quickly that we could barely understand them, but I think he was criticizing Osama’s knowledge of London. They helped me think through liberalism and I think if one takes their critique seriously there can only be suicide or religion, i.e. Okay, on the importance of the meaning question, page 4, Camus: ‘I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying).

William Arthur White

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Sir William Arthur White, GCB, GCMG (13 February 1824 – 28 December 1891) was a British diplomat, born in Puławy, in Poland. His mother's family, though not of Polish extraction, owned considerable estates in Poland, where White, though educated at King William's College, Isle of Man, and Trinity College, Cambridge University, spent a great part of his early days, and thus gained an intimate knowledge of the Polish language. To the furtherance of this policy he brought an unrivalled knowledge of all the under-currents of Oriental intrigue, which his mastery of languages enabled him to derive not only from the newspapers, of which he was an assiduous reader, but from the obscurest sources.
