The Book of Ezekiel is and the man himself is in the midst of historical event associated with the demise of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem (587 B.C.E) Ezekiel, along with other Judahites were taken into exile in Babylon in 597. In effect there were two Judahs one in the land of Judah and one in exile. One king, Jehoiachin was in exile and Zedekiah in Jerusalem. Under Babylonian bonds and rejecting prophetic advice, they refused to pay their tribute. Within a few years, the temple, city walls, and homes of Jerusalem were burned and leveled. More citizens were carried away to Babylon, and those who remained soon fled to Egypt for security. Ezekiel was told to warn God’s people that there were consequences to their lack of fidelity. God cautioned them that refusal to live by the covenant would bring its own discipline. The people did not listen to the Prophet Ezekiel: he was disliked for his words, and alienated for his message. He told the people that God would allow them to live as orphans if they chose to be orphans—to live outside of God’s covenant. After the fall of Jerusalem, the Babylonian general Nebuzaraddan was sent to complete its destruction. Solomon 's Temple was destroyed. Most of the elite were taken into captivity in Babylon. Jerusalem was razed to the ground.

As the book opens, “And that man was greater than all of the dwellers of the East.”(Job 1) This opening line is telling the audience that Job is viewed as unique compared to other servants. “And the man was blameless and upright and feared God and shunned evil.” (Job 1) Job is presented to the audience as God’s favorite servant, for Job is a man who is free of sin. He not only fears God but is also and because he is both, “blameless and upright”. “Skin for skin! A man will give all he has for his own life. Yet reach out and pray, your hand and strike his bone and his flesh. Will he not curse you to your face?”(Job 2).When Satan questions Job’s loyalty to the Almighty king, God takes this challenge with pride for he knows how faithful of a servant Job is to him. Satan believes Job is only obedient to him because he has no other reason not to be, but if God were to strike him with hardship, Job would turn against him and curse his name. “Here he is in your hands. Only preserve his life” (Job 2).Though God puts Job into Satan’s hands, he tells him not to kill him to prove his point. Satan strikes Job with a burning rash that spreads from head to toe, takes away all of his animals, kills all his children and yet, Job still does not curse God. Job refuses to let such words past his lips because he still believes in the good of God and says he shall not accept evil. God then sees Job true loyalty of him and restores

Jesus did the work for us thereby taking us from under the law (Romans 10:4). The law was fulfilled through Jesus’s walk; he kept all the laws with his walk for us that believe making us righteous. Now the New Testament presents us with the laws being put in our minds and written on our hearts by God himself (Hebrews 8:10) for eternity.

The chapters of Job bring to light God putting his favorite servant in a situation in which he loses a throw other desire to drop in a dalliance with God castigate God himself. It starts to asking price Job dearly to throw in one lot with on to his sexual affair outside of marriage with God.

“The book of job” is poetic literacy, filled with knowledge, wisdom and inspiration. The book of job tackle very deep subject matter one all human being tends to do at some point of our life as “why righteous people suffer”, how god do nothing. In chapter 38 – 42 is perfect example of it. The author uses poetic dialoged between god and job to dig into the subject matter, illustrate how little, selfish we human being are. In Job demands god to answer the question. In response to job question the Lord spoke out of the storm. God reply to job, who is you to question me I will ask you question and you, shall answer me. (38.4)“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, job realize that did doesn’t have enough knowledge nor

Job, “blameless and upright”, is described as a man who follows God and turns away from evil showing that he tenaciously fulfils his duties to God and makes it a priority that he lives by (Job 1.1). He is challenged in a bet between God and Satan that he will only be faithful to God when everything is going well for him; God chooses to test Satan’s theory (Job. 1.8-12). Job endures great suffering, but what makes him a pious man is that ultimately he shows the depth of his faith in God, despite the harsh suffering he endures. A paragon of his faithfulness to God is shown when he is given four sets of bad news: his oxen, donkeys, sheep, camels, servants and all 10 of his children were killed or stolen (Job 1.15-19). After hearing the news, Job “fell on the ground and worshipped”, saying that he “came from [his] mother 's womb

Jewish tradition allows for a relationship with God, connecting His professed ‘laws and rules’ with the love of God Himself. Through the key beliefs, ethics and the Shabbat for the Jewish people, it is that we can draw a guide to life and rules to abide by in the form of commandments. Through such forms of writing and the above quotation from Deuteronomy 6:1, 4-6 as well as other textual forms, Jewish people are able to adhere by the wishes of their God.

The story of Nehemiah reflects the unexampled characteristics of a man who heard the voice of the Lord and follow Him. However, to better understand the significance of the rebuilding and the role of Nehemiah into the story it is necessary to analyze the sociocultural background throughout this narrative. First, Jerusalem was still laid in ruins from its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar II 140 years earlier. A city that has its walls and gates broken down was entirely vulnerable to outside aggression. Therefore, in response to Jerusalem’s condition, Nehemiah mourned and cried. This actions of deep sorrow were often accompanied with the shaving of the head and beard. Fasting was often added to prayer so the individual could concentrate wholly on the issue at hand, at the expense of physical needs (Walton, 472). In contrast, the initiative of rebuilding the wall was not pleasant before Sanballat eyes, a Samaritan leader and one of the Jews’ enemies, as he said: “Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish and burned ones at that?” (The Wheaton Standard Bible, Neh. 4.2). This phrase may refer to the ancient Near Eastern idea that stones blackened with fire were cursed and could not be reused as building material (Walton, 476). In addition, the Hebrews and descendants of Nehemiah were considered the original audience who first heard the story.

In the Bible, the book of Nehemiah reveals the not-so-common traits of a man named Nehemiah. Through God, Nehemiah restored the hope of the Israelites and rebuilt the wall of Jerusalem. Because of Nehemiah’s open heart and strong faith in the Lord, he was used in miraculous ways. The story of Nehemiah starts out with a cup and a king.

The famous law code in Leviticus 19:2, is that you shall be holy. In Leviticus 19:11-13 it continues to state that, “you shall not steal, nor falsely, nor lie to one another, you shall not swear by the my (God) name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God, you shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him”. In the book of Leviticus, they list numerals of famous law code such as “you shall not steal and you shall not lie to one another”, which is a self- explanatory, another law states that “you shall not swear by the lord’s name, which for example, “I swear to God” quite a few people use this phrase. As comparing these laws states in Leviticus to Deuteronomy 5:1-21, which states the covenant that the Lord our God left us to follow

Moreover, the technical factor mainly refers to the digital and network technologies bring the interoperability, interchangeability and connectivity of media, so that the media convergence has become a possible and an inevitable. However, Media convergence is not only a simply technological shift but also “alters the relationships between the existing technologies, industries, markets, genres and audiences” (Jenkins, 2004, p.33). Indeed, media convergence is an accommodative process for the “existing media, communication industries and cultures to adapt with new technologies” (Dwyer, 2010, p.2). Along with the technological development, which is integrating the resources of different mediums, this operation of media convergence brings both changes and challenges in the media industry (Thomas, 2011). However, advertising industry is one of the sectors of communications and cultural industry that cannot avoid media convergence. This literature review paper will analyze
