This Relation Is Matter Of Fact, And Attended With Such Circumstances,
As May Induce Any Reasonable Man To Believe It. It Was Sent By A
Gentleman, A Justice Of Peace, At Maidstone, In Kent, And A Very
Intelligent Person, To His Friend In London, As It Is Here Worded; Which
Discourse Is Attested By A Very Sober And Understanding Gentlewoman, A
Kinswoman Of The Said Gentleman's, Who Lives In Canterbury, Within A Few
Doors Of The House In Which The Within-Named Mrs. Bargrave Lives; Who
Believes His Kinswoman To Be Of So Discerning A Spirit, As Not To Be Put
Upon By Any Fallacy; And Who Positively Assured Him That The Whole
Matter, As It Is Related And Laid Down, Is Really True; And What She
Herself Had In The Same Words, As Near As May Be, From Mrs. Bargrave's
Own Mouth, Who, She Knows, Had No Reason To Invent And Publish Such A
Story, Or Any Design To Forge And Tell A Lie, Being A Woman Of Much
Honesty And Virtue, And Her Whole Life A Course, As It Were, Of Piety.
The Use Which We Ought To Make Of It, Is To Consider, That There Is A
Life To Come After This, And A Just God, Who Will Retribute To Every One
According To The Deeds Done In The Body; And Therefore To Reflect Upon
Our Past Course Of Life We Have Led In The World; That Our Time Is Short
And Uncertain; And That If We Would Escape The Punishment Of The
Ungodly, And Receive The Reward Of The Righteous, Which Is The Laying
Hold Of Eternal Life, We Ought, For The Time To Come, To Return To God
By A Speedy Repentance, Ceasing To Do Evil, And Learning To Do Well: To
Seek After God Early, If Happily He May Be Found Of Us, And Lead Such
Lives For The Future, As May Be Well Pleasing In His Sight. [more]

The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter is a romantic work of fiction in a historical setting, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered to be his magnum opus.Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, Massachusetts during the years 1642 to 1649, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an adulterous affair and struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the book, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt.
The experience of Hester and Dimmesdale recalls the story of Adam and Eve because, in both cases, sin results in expulsion and suffering. But it also results in knowledge – specifically, in knowledge of what it means to be immoral. For Hester, the Scarlet Letter is a physical manifestation of her sin and reminder of her painful solitude. She contemplates casting it off to obtain her freedom from an oppressive society and a checkered past as well as the absence of God. Because the society excludes her, she considers the possibility that many of the traditions held up by the Puritan culture are untrue and are not designed to bring her happiness.
As for Dimmesdale, the "cheating minister", his sin gives him "sympathies so intimate with the sinful brotherhood of mankind, so that his chest vibrate[s] in unison with theirs." His eloquent and powerful sermons derive from this sense of empathy. The narrative of the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is quite in keeping with the oldest and most fully authorized principles in Christian thought. His "Fall" is a descent from apparent grace to his own damnation; he appears to begin in purity but he ends in corruption. The subtlety is that the minister's belief is his own cheating, convincing himself at every stage of his spiritual pilgrimage that he is saved.
The rose bush, its beauty a striking contrast to all that surrounds it – as later the beautifully embroidered scarlet "A" will be held out in part as an invitation to find "some sweet moral blossom" in the ensuing, tragic tale and in part as an image that "the deep heart of nature" (perhaps God) may look more kind on the errant Hester and her child than her Puritan neighbors do. Throughout the work, the nature images contrast with the stark darkness of the Puritans and their systems. [more]

Apokalypsis
The End of the World
- Horror

- 4670 Words
- Ages 18 and up
The word "apocalipse" comes from the Greek "apokalypse" which means "uncovering" or "revealing future events and things concerning the end of the times according to God."
In the context of the book of Revelation, this means: "discover or expose to the light things, future events and conditions concerning the kingdom of God."
We will study that such future referred to in this book is based since the year 4,153 (year of God) after the death of Jesus Christ and until the end of the world.
You know that there are three eras or ages since the foundation of the world (this time is the time according to the God of the universe, neither according to the Gregorian calendar nor according to the scientists of the Earth):
a) The Patriarchal era: Which covers from the beginning of the world until the age of the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (comprising the year 0 when Adam was banished from Paradise until the year 1,666, which is the year of the Great Flood).
b) The Mosaic era: from the year after the flood (the year 1667, year of God) to the birth of Jesus the Christ of Nazareth (the year 4,120, year of God).
c) The Christian era: from the death of Jesus (the year 4,153, year of God to the present time, which is the year 6,132 since the eviction of Adam from Paradise).
Jesus Christ of Nazareth reveals to his apostle John (when John was over ninety years old and was exiled to the island of Patmos) visions, prophecies and messages about the Apocalypse. I want to reiterate the definition of "prophecy" which comes from two Greek words together: "prophanai" "pro" means "before" and "phanai" means "talk" (talking about or communicating events, happenings, visions, predictions, conditions repentance messages and future events inspired by God through an intermediary called prophet, from the Greek "prophetes" which means "one who speaks to God." Note that God exists outside the dimension of time and space.
Prophecy was the way of communication between God and man that existed during the time of the Old Testament (the old covenant of God with his people). The modern form of communication of today with God and man is through Jesus the Christ of Nazareth according to the books of the New Testament (It is the new covenant between God and his people). The very first of the prophets was Moses (his name means "the one who is removed or taken out of the water) and the last of the prophets of the Christian Bible was the apostle John (his name means" faithful to God) who wrote the Book of Revelation through visions and dreams on the island of Patmos under the inspiration of God.
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand" (Revelation 1:3). [more]

One night, at the latter end of April, 1665, the family of a citizen of London carrying on an extensive business as a grocer in Wood-street, Cheapside, were assembled, according to custom, at prayer. The grocer's name was Stephen Bloundel. His family consisted of his wife, three sons, and two daughters. He had, moreover, an apprentice; an elderly female serving as cook; her son, a young man about five-and-twenty, filling the place of porter to the shop and general assistant; and a kitchen-maid. The whole household attended; for the worthy grocer, being a strict observer of his religious duties, as well as a rigid disciplinarian in other respects, suffered no one to be absent, on any plea whatever, except indisposition, from morning and evening devotions; and these were always performed at stated times. In fact, the establishment was conducted with the regularity of clockwork, it being the aim of its master not to pass a single hour of the day unprofitably.
The ordinary prayers gone through, Stephen Bloundel offered up along and fervent supplication to the Most High for protection against the devouring pestilence with which the city was then scourged. He acknowledged that this terrible visitation had been justly brought upon it by the wickedness of its inhabitants; that they deserved their doom, dreadful though it was; that, like the dwellers in Jerusalem before it was given up to ruin and desolation, they "had mocked the messengers of God and despised His word;" that in the language of the prophet, "they had refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears that they should not hear; yea, had made their heart like an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law and the words which the Lord of Hosts had sent in his spirit by the former prophets." He admitted that great sins require great chastisement, and that the sins of London were enormous; that it was filled with strifes, seditions, heresies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and every kind of abomination; that the ordinances of God were neglected, and all manner of vice openly practised; that, despite repeated warnings and afflictions less grievous than the present, these vicious practices had been persisted in. All this he humbly acknowledged. But he implored a gracious Providence, in consideration of his few faithful servants, to spare the others yet a little longer, and give them a last chance of repentance and amendment; or, if this could not be, and their utter extirpation was inevitable, that the habitations of the devout might be exempted from the general destruction-might be places of refuge, as Zoar was to Lot. He concluded by earnestly exhorting those around him to keep constant watch upon themselves; not to murmur at God's dealings and dispensations; but so to comport themselves, that "they might be able to stand in the day of wrath, in the day of death, and in the day of judgment." The exhortation produced a powerful effect upon its hearers, and they arose, [more]

It was evening then. Rimi still can't believe what she listened from her brother. She lied on her bed with tears in her eyes rubbing her abdomen where her child was spending the fourth month. Rono hasn't come home till now. Does it mean her brother is telling truth? But still, she can't believe her brother. If Rono has an affair with another woman, he wouldn't have entered Rimi's life. Is God so cruel? If the words that are spoken by her brother are true, then Rono wouldn't find her loving wife alive.
So let me start from the first. Rajendra (nickname Rono) and Rimi are employees from a private company. They both graduated from the same university. They were friends and gradually their friendship turned into a relationship of husband and wife. Except for Rimi's younger brother, all accepted their marriage. God knows what was the problem with the brother with their marriage. He started poisoning Rimi's mind about Rono. Rimi and Rono were like two souls in one body. Since Rono heard that he was going to be a father, he was taking great care of Rimi. All things and wishes that Rimi wants, Rono granted them. Rimi didn't hear him speaking harshly to her. Rimi's mother-in-law and father-in-law didn't let her think that she was away from her parents and living in her in-law's house. Rimi was like a daughter to them. But today her brother shared a video where Rono was chatting in a park with another woman. In reality, the video was only an edited version, only to poison Rimi's mind about Rono.
She got up and went to the other room where her in-laws were sitting and chatting. Seeing Rimi her mother-in-law was stunned. She said," Mom, I didn't expect your son to cheat with me. Now, I cannot leave him. You know I am carrying his child in me. " Her mother-in-law Mrs. Roy asked," What happened my child? " Rimi then showed the video sent by her brother. Just then, Rono entered the room. He has returned just now. Mr. Roy looked at him angrily and said," Rono, what is this? Is this the result of your wedding? You cheated on a girl who loves you so much. " Mrs. Roy said," I can't believe this. Rono, why did you do this?"Rono told," Wait wait!!! It is me but no girl or woman was sitting beside me. I think someone has edited this video. " Rimi asked, "What do you mean?" Rono told," I was sitting with my colleague Arnab. You know him. If you don't believe me, then ask him about the incident." Rono then examined the video and concluded that it was an edited video.
That night after dinner, Rimi was sitting quietly on her bed. She was burning in the fire of repentance. Just as Rono came and held his hands in her arms, Rimi broke out in tears. It seemed that all her sorrows were coming out through tears. Rimi told," I am very sorry. I didn't know that my brother hates you so much. I am ashamed of him. Please forgive me. I love you very much. " Rono consoled her and remarked," You have done nothing wrong. Your brother had done wrong. Remember one thing, the ship of relationship can be rowed with the oar of belief. I always fervently pray to God that our relationship might be strong till our death. I love you too. Remove the negative people who are disturbing your peace. " Rimi from then on closed ties with her brother. From then on, no one was there to break their peaceful life. [more]
