King Tut was a fascinating pharaoh at most. There isn’t much on who king Tut was or when he was born or how he died. But some people have dedicated there lives to find out who he was. He was born during the Golden Age. He became king a surprisingly young age. He achieved many things and had an important job. His death was and still is a mystery to most. It was said he wasn’t in his original tomb. But he was eventually found. King Tut became a Pharaoh at a really young age and he had many achievements but died at a relatively young age. (Hawass 29-56)
A messenger of God comes to tell her to “return to your mistress and suffer abuse at her hand,” for if she does this God “will surely multiply your seed” (79). Hagar, an Egyptian, who has had no previous contact with God, blindly follows His instructions and returns to an abusive situation. She trusts that God will eventually provide and care for her, naming her son Ishmael or “God has heard” (79). Abraham on the other hand doubts God. Even after He has continuously promised He will multiply Abraham’s seed to be as great as the stars in the sky, Abraham and Sarah both laugh when they hear Sarah will conceive a son. When God hears Sarah’s laughter from behind a curtain He questions her and when she denies it, sternly reprimands, “Yes, you did laugh” revealing that He is always listening and making note of their doubts and fears even when He is not physically present. Although Abraham has followed God’s instructions thus far, he and his wife have revealed their doubt in His ultimate divine plan. In contrast Hagar fully accepts that a great nation will spring from her and returns back to a place of suffering in order that God’s plan might be carried

The King was furious at Haman and he hanged him where Haman wanted to hang Mordecai at, and Mordecai took Haman’s position as the King’s second in command.

The Book of Isaiah is a book full of oracles such as the one narrating Isaiah's calling to be a prophet for the Lord God. In accordance with his classical poetic style the passage is full of imagery and sensual descriptions. Concerned with the fall of the nation, Isaiah has God himself warning the people of what is to come for a stronger impact on the Israelites. As a man who lived through the reins of four kings whom throughout the book are of great importance, Isaiah sees God as a functioning king and ruler. Much of what is said and seen in Isaiah 6:1-13 relate to other events in the rest of the book and surely influence Isaiah's life completely.
