Abstract
This paper examines the prophecies found in Daniel, chapters 7 to 12, focusing particularly on the four beasts that come from the sea. The paper maintains that these chapters can be judged to be true by looking at history. It points out that the four animals refer to the time period after Babylon and the present time. The paper also looks at charts, maps, and literature on the 'Book of Daniel' to show how these prophecies relate to different kingdoms. To conclude, the paper suggests that, considering the present problems in the Middle East, the prophesy that the beasts will come back to life through the Antichrist could possibly be true.
From the Paper
"Daniel describes the fourth beast as terrible and strong with iron teeth. "After that, in my vision at night I saw in front of me a fourth animal that was cruel, terrible and very strong. It had large iron teeth. It crushed and ate what it killed, and then it walked on whatever was left" (Wheeling). This fourth beast represents the Roman Empire and how it would conquer Jerusalem and destroy the Temple. The Roman Empire was stronger than the other empires. "The angel explains to Daniel, the four beasts; lion, bear, leopard and the terrible beast are four kings from the earth. With each king comes a kingdom" and each of these kingdoms connected to Israel (The Book of Daniel). The last kingdom, Rome, was in power when Jesus was alive. Comparing different analyses about the four beasts show similar interpretations. While the four beasts relate to the immediate context of the nations affecting Israel, these four beasts also relate to the future or a broad context of the future countries referring to the present times."

From the Paper
"This study will provide a review of The Machine That Changed the World, by James P. Womack, Daniel T. Jones, and Daniel Roos. The analysis will be based on three standards or criteria for measuring the book and its success: Is the book important? Is the presentation of the book such that a reader --- whether interested originally in the subject or not---would generally find the book interesting? and Does the book succeed in doing what the authors set out to have it do?
The thrust of the report will be that, yes, the book succeeds on all three points of evaluation.
Is the book important? In other words, will it make some difference in the life of the reader in the way he sees the world, or will it make some difference in the world itself? Is it merely entertainment? Is it so speculative that it is nothing ..."

Prophecy in Professional Practice of Metaphysics, 2007.
An examination of the uses of prophecy, intuition, perception and other aspects of transpersonal psychology and the "paranormal" within the professional practice of metaphysics.

Abstract
This dissertation is about the potential uses of prophecy within the professional practice of metaphysics. The writer believes that holistic life coaches who are willing and able to use, within their helping processes, concepts having to do with the paranormal, might well encourage those they help to more fully understand and accept themselves and others as whole human beings. The researcher recommends further study and research in this area, including future qualitative and quantitative investigations into using the paranormal in specific therapeutic and/or holistic coaching situations. The researcher for this study also recommends further research on specific aspects of paranormal and/or clairvoyant experiences that could be used within counseling in order to get in better touch with the inner self.
Outline:
Introduction
Chapter I: Review of Literature
Chapter II: Findings
Chapter III: Discussion
Chapter IV: Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"Results of the review of available literature for this study, taken as a whole, often illustrate that, although metaphysical gifts and abilities such as the gift of prophecy; telepathy; telekinesis, or even everyday human intuition, although not well understood, scientifically or in phenomenological ways, within the totality of human experience, nevertheless exist, even in sometimes empirically provable ways, nonetheless (see "Global Consciousness Project." Wikipedia. March 27, 2006). Prophecy itself, as a paranormal human occurrence and as a distinctly human and much respected phenomenon (at least in ancient times) has clearly been around and in evidence since the Old Testament was written and very likely, much before that ("Prophecy")."

Self-fulfilling Prophecy in Literature, 2002.
This paper discusses the self-fulfilling prophecy that happened in the main character?s life in the short stories by D. H. Lawrence and Stephen Crane, entitled ?The Horse Dealer?s Daughter? and ?The Blue Hotel?.

Abstract
This paper discusses that the self-fulfilling prophecy found in the scenes, wherein the main characters of these two short stories anticipate that something inevitably will happen to the characters, even though the possibility of this event happening is remote. The author points out that because of the actions and behavior of the characters and the unexpected turn of events in the stories, the main character?s fear turn into reality. This paper explores these important turns of event in both short stories.
From the Paper
"?The Blue Hotel? by Stephen Crane? also is another case wherein the main character meets his death because of his self-fulfilling prophecy. The Swedish/Dutch man, who have lodged in at Scully?s hotel along with an Easterner and a cowboy man, had prophesied that he would be murdered in that place by the four other man he?s with (Scully, Johnnie, Scully?s son, the Easterner, and the cowboy man). Although this prophecy by the Swede man is a remote possibility, it gradually became true because of behavior towards the men. His victory over a small fight with Johnnie over the Swede man?s allegation that Johnnie cheated made him haughty and proud, and he left the hotel confident over his victory. As the Swede man enters the town?s saloon, his proud and irritating manner towards the other customers prompted a man, identified as a gambler and a dangerous fellow, to kill him because of his rowdy treatment to the saloon?s customers. Thus, the Swede?s man prophecy that he will be killed became true, partly because of his behavior. However, the story ends with a great revelation?that Johnnie, indeed, had cheated the Swede man in their game of cards, and the Easterner remarks ruefully that the five men had plotted the Swede man?s murder??you, I, Johnnie, old Scully, and that fool of an unfortunate gambler came merely as a culmination, the apex of a human movement, and gets all the punishment." Thus, the Swede man?s prophecy becomes a reality, although now the readers discover that his prophecy was not predicted based on loose belief but was made based on the truth, which is that there would be an occurrence of disagreement because of Johnnie?s treachery and dishonesty in dealing with other people.

Matthew?s Use of Isaiah as Prophecy, 2003.
Five of Matthew's "formulaic passages" are unique because they are taken directly from the book of Isaiah, in this paper, the writer analyzes 5 passages taken from Isaiah's pages.

Abstract
Matthew?s text contains around sixty allusions and citations to the words of the Old Testament within its pages, of which the writer examines ten in this paper. Ten of Matthew?s references to the Old Testament are enclosed in a category of their own; they are referred to as the ?formulaic passages.? The writer focuses on Matthew?s use of Isaiah (passages from Isaiah compose half of Matthew?s formulaic quotations and the writer focuses on five of them: 1:22-23; 3:3; 4:13-16; 8:17; and 12:17-21) as prophecy. It begins with a textual analysis of these passages and then provides an observation of Matthew?s theology of fulfillment through use of the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Matthew 1:22-23 is the first of the formulaic quotations that I will introduce and is probably the quotation that offers the most debate. Here, Matthew quotes from Isaiah 7:14 to show how Jesus fulfills prophecy because he is born of a virgin and named Emmanuel. The passage reads: ?All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ?Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,? which means, ?God is with us?? (Matt. 1:22-23). However, M. Eugene Boring in the New Interpreter?s Bible, points out that the context of Isaiah?s passage was God?s promise to Judah of salvation from the threat of the approaching Syrio-Ephriamitic War ?before the child of a young woman who was already pregnant would reach the age of moral discernment,? adding that as a symbol of hope, the child was to be given the name Emmanuel, ?God is with us? (Boring, 135). Boring makes the important argument that Matthew misunderstood the Hebrew translation of the word ?almah (correctly translated as young woman) as virgin (or referring to virginal conception) (135). Boring also notes the importance in the tense of Isaiah?s passage. The conception is not meant to be seen as an event in the future, instead it is directed towards Isaiah?s own time and context (135). Robert Horton Gundry in his book The Use of the Old Testament in St. Matthew?s Gospel, however, would disagree with Boring. Gundry believes that all commentators who fail to see the prediction of a ?miraculous birth of the Messiah in Is. 7:14 neglect to establish one of two things which must be established for those views to stand? (Gundry, 226). Gundry then proceeds to delve into his own argumentative literary analysis of the passage. He begins, ?First, if the ?almah is a virgin, she will lose her virginity, conceive, and bear? meaning that if the young woman is in fact a virgin, she will not be much longer. However, if the woman were married or marriage was contemplated before the conceiving and birth, the text would be expected to say ?ishah or wife (Gundry, 226). The text's tense also suggests that the pregnancy has already begun, so therefore the conception and birth of the child must take place before or without the young woman's becoming ?ishah (226-227). He continues, ?Second, if marriage is not contemplated, ?almah is used in the sense of a young married woman.? He concludes, ???Almah refers to a mature young woman of marriageable age, but unmarried and presumably virgin unless otherwise stated? (Gundry, 227). Gundry therefore disagrees with M. Eugene Boring and concludes that Matthew correctly interpreted Isaiah?s passage. Given Gundry and Boring?s separate arguments, are we to say that Matthew interpreted Isaiah correctly or incorrectly? And how would the answer to this question effect Matthew?s use of Isaiah as prophecy? This raises an interesting and likewise important question about the impact of Matthew?s correct and/or incorrect interpretations of the Old Testament (such as Isaiah) that will be addressed later."

Classical Rock and Popular Prophecy, 2005.
A paper discussing the influence of classical music on rock music and why rock music is the classical music of the future.

Abstract
This paper discusses the contention that pop music is tomorrow's classical music within the context of rock/classical music collaborations since the early 1950s. The paper makes the point that pop is as certainly the classical music of tomorrow as classical music is the spirit of rock today.
From the Paper
"Long before the official birth of Rock and Roll, the incorporation of old classics into a new sound was a common practice among trendsetters and musical rebels alike. Classical music is certainly not the only genre of music to be reinvented in meaning and sound, but the choice of Classical pieces is a popular one because of the impact on listeners. Classical pieces are almost universally recognized as familiar to an audience, whether they are able to make a distinct identification of the piece, or if it is simply a vague sense of deja vu influenced by the historical music. "Thus even the early days of ragtime and vaudeville produced their own variations on the classics, though we have few recordings. From the 1920s through the 1940s, James Price Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, and Fats Waller 'jazzed up' the classics, alongside the Big Band versions of Paul Whiteman, Duke Ellington, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Les Brown... Many composers of Broadway shows also appropriated classical melodies." (Duxberry, "Nexus...") Pre-Rock Classical interpretations did not stir nearly the amount of controversy that would be seen in later years. The fervent nature of Rock and the moral/political rebellion associated with the genre, perhaps coupled with the passionate dedication of Rock musicians that equals that of the greatest Classical virtuosos, has been fuel for the fires of disapproval."

Self-Fulfilling Prophecies, 2002.
This paper discusses self-fulfilling prophecy, a prophecy about a future event that serves to increase the probability of the event?s occurrence.

Abstract
This paper discusses that self-fulfilling prophecies can affect a person?s own behavior due to his own belief about himself. The paper states that stereotyping, whether racial, ethnic, or gender, can lead to self-fulfilling prophecies and can have positive or negative effect. The author continues to describe examples of self-fulfilling prophecies in many areas including education and sports.
From the Paper
"Race, gender, attractiveness and age stereotyping are alike in that inferences about another?s traits are based mainly from physical appearance. These appearance-related factors play a prominent role in forming initial impression due to the fact that the information conveyed is generally processed first by observers. Research has indicated ?that women are evaluated more favorably than men and that physically attractive people are evaluated more favorably than those who are physically unattractive.? "

Samuel Daniel's "Delia", 2002.
Discusses audience and imagery in Samuel Daniel's 'Sonnet III' from "Delia" and argues against C.S. Lewis who dismisses Daniel's work.
2,650 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 8 sources, $ 97.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
C.S. Lewis, in "English Literature in the Sixteenth Century", dismissed Daniel's "Delia" on the grounds that: "It offers no ideas, no psychology, and of course no story: it is simply a masterpiece of phrasing and melody" (Lewis 491). Samuel Daniel's sonnet sequence, "Delia" (1592), is undeniably remarkable for its phrasing and melody. However, one can take issue with Lewis' depiction of Daniel's achievement. This essay will argue that, contrary to Lewis' statement, Daniel's "Delia" reveals a complex level of interlocking patterns of thematic ideas and imagery. One cannot assert broad generalizations about a poet's entire work, much less the poetic production of an entire era, from the textual analysis of a single work. Includes annotated bibliography.

Daniel?s Vision, 2004.
An analysis of Prophet Daniel's vision of 70 weeks.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Prophet Daniel?s vision of 70 Weeks through interpretations, theories, views, and fulfillments, including the references to Christ and the tribulations that were experienced. With all of the critical prophecies credited to him, the paper provides insights into who Daniel was and why he felt he needed to share his wisdom. The concern for historians regarding Daniel?s work revolves around the fact that there are numerous problems confirming or even explaining some of the prophetical meanings of his passages.
From the Paper
"The name Daniel in Hebrew means God is my Judge. Daniel was one of the most important of the prophets from the Old Testament. But his prophecies also carried over into the New Testament since much of the prophecy done by Daniel correspond with the apostle John and his work in the Book of Revelation. Daniel?s acclaim and importance to the ancient Christian movement can be demonstrated by the fact that Jesus specifically referred to events from the Book of Daniel that were expected to happen prior to His return. Modern day religious scholars believe that Daniel was born a noble and maybe even an actual member of the royal family of Judah. ?Daniel thereafter held a very high position in the government for about 70 years, the actual ruler of what is modern-day Iraq, right until his famous "handwriting on the wall" interpretation on the night before the fall of the Babylonian kingdom to Darius the Mede (Daniel 5:1-29).?

"The Book of Daniel", 2002.
Explains how author E.L. Doctorow uses events from history to write his novel, "The Book of Daniel".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
E.L. Doctorow has always been a writer who juxtaposes fictional events with historical ones. "The Book of Daniel" is no exception. While the character of Daniel is fictional, the events depicted--a thinly disguised version of the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg trial, the communist scare fanned by Senator McCarthy, the Viet Nam War--are all rooted in history. Daniel's journey then is both historical and personal, ricocheting between the past and the present as he attempts to find meaning in the events of his own life and those of his culture. "The Book of Daniel" is like its Biblical counterpart, part lamentation and part exhortation. History is a catalogue of a "time of trouble" in which some figures of the past will awake to 'everlasting contempt' while others turn to righteousness. Daniel struggles with both, an inherited past and an uncertain future. In the end, however, he finds his way.

Biblical Prophecies, 2007.
This paper discusses biblical prophecies in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New Testament.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Christians should read both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible to understand all the prophecies that are made and to see how God has fulfilled each of these prophecies. The author points out that many prophecies, including the seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham and the seed of Isaac, point to the birth and death of Jesus. The paper concludes that it is important to realize that the fulfillment of these Old Testament scriptures means that a person should honor the belief that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. The paper includes many quotations and an appendix listing the prophecies fulfilled by Jesus.
From the Paper
"The name of Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament. "The Old Testament gets even clearer about the fact that Messiah is God, that God Himself will be the Messiah, that the name of the Messiah is Y-H-W-H." In Isaiah 9:6, it tells that the different names of the Messiah. ...Comparing the Old Testament with the New Testament will show these names have been applied to Jesus. Jesus has fulfilled all the prophecies in the Old Testament and how they are fulfilled are written in the New Testament. Even Jesus recognized that his purpose was to fulfill the Old Testament."

Abstract
The paper examines the book of Daniel, and explains how the Lord's power is exhibited as He gives awesome insight into the future, protects His followers in fatal situations, and illustrates the end of time. The paper discusses the basic storyline and describes the various miracles and events witnessed and lived through by Daniel and his friends. The paper concludes that the book of Daniel offers insight to questions of omnipotence and the final judgment. The author adds that in his /her opinion, it is easier to believe in a higher being than existing on earth questioning life and its purpose.
From the Paper
"The definition for all-powerful is possessing unlimited authority or power. Other words used to define all-powerful include: omnipotent, invincible, supreme, and almighty. The Lord of the Jewish and Christian faith uses these words in reference to their God. The Hebrew Bible contains writings of a prophet during the Babylonian exile. "The God of Daniel is the omnipotent Lord who controls history, setting up and removing earthly rulers and empires, but also rescuing his people from the power of those kings and teaching them the limits of their sovereignty. (Davies 565)" In the book of Daniel, the Lord's power is exhibited as he gives awesome insight into the future (via visions/interpretations), protects his followers in fatal situations, and illustrates the end of time."
