Physics is the study of matter and how it interacts with other matter and the universe as a whole (“Physics (science)”). In the novel City at the End of Time by Greg Bear, the author uses physics to create the plot in the novel. The novel takes place in two cities, a present day Seattle and the Kalpa, a city one hundred trillion years in the future. Jack, Ginny, and Daniel are drifters living in Seattle, and they are all in possession of sum-runners. The sum-runners allow them to cross “fate-lines”
Armageddon In 1998, Touchstone Pictures released Armaggedon, the most recent in a premillenial barrage of films focused on the end of the world. The film included a trendy Hollywood cast, headlined by Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ben Affleck, and was directed by Michael Bay, whose previous film credits included the 1996 top ten hit, The Rock.

the second coming of Jesus Christ. The last days of time are near according to signs that were prophesied by the Lord. Many books, songs, and articles have been written about the end times. Unfortunately, most people refuse to accept that we are living in the last days. The Bible has forewarned its readers to be on guard at any moment. There are signs of Jesus’ return everywhere which proves that this generation is living in the last days of time. Some of the signs include The Holocaust and the Nazi’s
Thomas Hardy's views on God and Religion Thomas Hardy was born into a religious family and brought up with very Christian values and morals. As he matured and was exposed to the new ideas of the time, he became conflicted in his views about God and religion. He was criticized for writings that many of his peers considered to be obscene, immoral and blasphemous. Throughout his adult life, Hardy considered himself to be an agnostic. His poems show that he was much more complicated than that. His writings

The End Time Gospel Matthew 24:13 -14 but he that shall endure to the end the same shall be saved and this Gospel shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come Jesus while He was yet in this world said an end time is coming. We must endure (continue, last, remain) all the way to the end. What end? There is a limited time for everything; a finality! There is a time for all things (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8); a season and a time. God gives to every man a
same topic in order to make the message fully know. One of the approach being looked at is a more general synopsis of the end. While some scholars say the book of Joel is divided into two parts “historical part one and an apocalyptic part two” while others believe “there is unity in Joel” (Robinson, p 22). However Joel is divided it is believed, more often than not, that the end of Joel is apocalyptic literature. Joel 3, titled God judges the nations, illustrates a bleak outcome for the enemies of
What happens when we die? What happens in the end times? Questions like these have been asked countless times by the Christian community and, like many other things in the Christian faith, there has not always been a clear answer. Will things play out as described in the book of Revelation? What does the promise of salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ offer to us in the “end times”? I had the opportunity to consider some of these questions while sitting at the wake for one
From the beginning of her novel "White Teeth," Zadie Smith presents the reader with realistic, current issues and humor which is significantly complimented by a time-resistant setting. Her word choice brings out a unique and intriguing personality for each character introduced so far in the novel.

The Irony, cynicism, and idiosyncrasy
The Sermon on the Mount: The Greatest Speech of All Time? Doctor Hans Dieter Betz, professor and renowned religious scholar at the University of Chicago Divinity School once said about the Sermon on the Mount: “The influences exerted by the Sermon on the Mount generally far transcend the borderlines of Judaism and Christianity, or western culture.” He also remarked that this sermon has “a peculiarly universalistic appeal.”- [Betz, H. D., & Collins, A. Y. (1995). The Sermon on the Mount: A commentary
GODLY COMMUNICATION God wants us to have good communication skills. The scriptures below are just some of God’s guidelines he has provided for us. Good communication is more than just mere words. Good communication consists of verbal, nonverbal, listening, and written words. God is in our hearts. Love for God is in our hearts. What is in our hearts is shown by the words we speak, the words we write, the way we listen to others, and our nonverbal skills too. MATTHEW “You will be ever hearing, but
squanders his inheritance but returns home to a forgiving father and a scornful older brother. In this parable the father who is an unfaltering and forgiving is a representation of the unfaltering love of God the father. When Jesus told the story in His time, the lost younger son was a representation of the sinners or tax collectors while the older son becomes the self-absorbed Pharisees. I think there are two messages in the parable and one is just as important as the other. There is a joyous conversion
Conflict in All's Well That Ends Well One of the themes that emerges from Shakespeare's comedy All's Well That Ends Well is the conflict between old and new, age and youth, wisdom and folly, reason and passion. As one critic points out, a simple glance at the characters of the play reveals an almost equally balanced cast of old and young. "In performance it is apparent that the youth of the leading characters, Helena, Bertram, Diana and Parolles, is in each case precisely balanced by the greater

method of learning objective truth. Pioneers in this field include Descartes and Locke. This was also a time when science came to the forefront of Western thought, seen as the embodiment of rationality. It was believed that the ability to reason is the very thing that separates man from other animals. It is what makes us human, and therefore it is our job to utilise this benefit at all times. As rationality grew in importance its contrasts such as ignorance and superstition were seen to have no

Normally the pod was an open hallway, but seemingly out of nowhere, two doors had appeared and blocked my immediate entry. I frowned, but pulled the doors open, struggling with the weight. When I finally managed to open them, I wasted no time in darting in. “Hello?” I called, heading down to Ms. Brush’s classroom. The doors clicked shut behind me, completely engulfing me in darkness. “Peyton? Dad?” I tried again, just as I turned the corner to the classroom. The lights were off, and no
One of the most horrendous hate crimes is sweeping the nation: bullying. What is a bully? As defined by Oxford Dictionaries, a bully is “a person who uses strength or influence to harm or intimidate those who are weaker” (oxforddictionaries.com).

Bullying takes place daily and in more forms than physical brutality. While physical
