Civilization vs. Savagery
Ralph, the protagonist of Lord of The Flies, happens to get into a huge conflict between himself and Jack, the antagonist. Ralph is the one who tries to keep order between everyone while Jack focuses on hunting. Since Jack is denied the leadership role he decides to create his own tribe and hunt in the daylight and have feasts in the night. Jack rises up as Ralph is put down. Ralph is no longer considered the leader and Jack, the savage, becomes the new leader. Ralph does consider joining Jacks tribe, only to save his life. Ralph tries not to let the inner savage release but once in a while it does. "Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!"(152). Ralph gets caught up in the frenzy and starts chanting “Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!"(152). Ralph and the others are mindless and take part in the killing of Simon, mistaken as the beast. Ralph knows what he did was wrong and changes his mindset once again. Ralph then becomes the civilized leader he was known to be. Ralph switches in and out of the savagery but does not get completely taken over by it. What will Ralph do next? With his friend Piggy and Simon dead because he unsuccessful at leading the group properly. Will he attempt to join Jacks tribe? Or fight against it? Will Jack continue his savagery? Since the conch has been destroyed, order has been broken. So it looks like there is no hope in regaining civilization

Michael Rood’s world famous 13-hour A Rood Awakening! seminar, the Feasts of the LORD and Their Prophetic Fulfillment has just gotten better! After changing the lives of countless thousands around the globe, it has been divided into twenty-six broadcast episodes, and is now available on DVD. Each digitally remastered episode includes crisp new graphics, and special introductory and closing remarks by Michael recorded at more than twenty distinct locations around the Ophel Gardens Archeological Park on Mt. Moreh-Yah (the Temple of the Mount) in Jerusalem.
ReplyDeleteOur Creator has shown us “the end from the beginning” through the prophetic shadow pictures embedded in His Feasts, which He commanded Israel to keep forever. Michael reveals the beauty of these Feasts and clearly details their past and future fulfillment. The Messiah fulfilled the Spring Feasts of the LORD at his first coming - it is recorded in the first four Gospels. The Messiah will fulfill the Fall feasts of the lord - and its future fulfillment is detailed in the fifth Gospel: the book of the Revelation.
This volume also contains a special bonus teaching by Michael in the Land of Israel: The Last Great Day and the Resurrection.
This series is the foundation to understanding Bible prophecy, and the new twenty-six episode format makes it perfect for home and congregational study. This is Bible Prophecy 101.
