God’s Court and Courtiers in the Book of the Watchers
Author: Philip Francis Esler
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532644493
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
First Enoch is an ancient Judean work that inaugurated the genre of apocalypse. Chapters 1-36 tell the story of the descent of angels called "Watchers" from heaven to earth to marry human women before the time of the flood, the chaos that ensued, and God's response. They also relate the journeying of the righteous scribe Enoch through the cosmos, guided by angels. Heaven, including the place and those who dwell there (God, the angels, and Enoch), plays a central role in the narrative. But how should heaven be understood? Existing scholarship, which presupposes "Judaism" as the appropriate framework, views the Enochic heaven as reflecting the temple in Jerusalem, with God's house replicating its architecture and the angels and Enoch functioning like priests. Yet recent research shows the Judeans constituted an ethnic group, and this view encourages a fresh examination of 1 Enoch 1-36. The actual model for heaven proves to be a king in his court surrounded by his courtiers. The major textual features are explicable in this perspective, whereas the temple-and-priests model is unconvincing. The author was a member of a nontemple, scribal group in Judea that possessed distinctive astronomical knowledge, promoted Enoch as its exemplar, and was involved in the wider sociopolitical world of their time.

The Supreme Court of Heaven - Judgement of God - Trilogy 1
Author: Mcebo Michael Metfula
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781977712929
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
There is a court in heaven. It is in session NOW. The Judge is God. The Defendant is God (Christ Jesus). The Plaintiff is Satan. The Witnesses are the people (on earth). God established the Supreme Court of Heaven after the creation of the heavens and the earth. He established it because he had created beings both in heaven and on earth that had freewill. When their freewill would lead them against his will, then he would need to use this court to judge them. Either angels or people, all would have to face the judgement of God. No creature has power to escape God's judgement in heaven. In some cases compiled in this book of revelations, God appears in the court as the Defendant, because even his creation is allowed to file cases against him. So if God is the Defendant in some cases, then who is the Judge? God himself is the Judge. He is a perfect God such that he is able to preside as the Judge and the Defendant of the same case. He can pass a judgment against himself and also sentence himself! The Cross is a proof of that. Case 1: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witnesses: Adam, Eve Case 2: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Noah Case 3: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Abraham Case 4: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Ruth Case 5: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Elijah Case 6: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Job Case 7: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Peter Case 8: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witnesses: Abel Case 9: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Lot Case 10: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Gideon Case 11: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: John the Baptist Case 12: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Stephen Case 13: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witnesses: Isaac Case 14: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Joseph Case 15: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Samson Case 16: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Mary Case 17: Judge: God Plaintiff: Satan Defendant: God (Jesus) Witness: Lazarus ...

God Save this Honorable Court
Author: Laurence H. Tribe
Publisher: Random House (NY)
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Tribe's new book takes on William Rehnquist, senators seeking a precise litmus test for judicial appointments, champions of judicial restraint, and, sub silentio, Edwin Meese. His study of the political history of High Court appointees demolishes several claims.g., that one justice cannot make a difference in judicial proceedings and myths that of ``strict constructionism,'' with Tribe insisting that literal adherence to the constitutional text abdicates judicial responsibility. So, too, he finds, does the inevitably inconclusive inquiry into the Framers' intent. Then there is the myth of the ``spineless Senate,'' which, he shows, is anything but the case. Tribe's respect for the Court's power is boundless; not that he is uncritical, but he does appreciate its extraordinary influence, and, given it, argues that Senate and nation must subject each nominee to the closest scrutiny. This tightly argued appeal can be readily followed by nonlawyers. It should be heeded. Milton Cantor, History Dept., Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst - Library Journal.
