Jewish wedding customs in the Pre-Tribulation view, because I can not imagine why God would want believers to go through a horrendous and unimaginable time that is described as being a time of great crisis. Think about that for a moment! Why would believers have to go through this awful time that is coming? Where is the reward for keeping the Commandments? Why would the church have to suffer like everyone else? God does not want us to suffer through this terrible time that is to come, and that is

It was one of the best records of the black death. The black death was one of the worst plagues ever recorded in the history of plagues.

In this time period, oral tradition was still common among the illiterate,
incarceration and genocide that took place there and in numerous other camps in Europe during Hitler’s rule. However, what Elie Wiesel attributes as one of the main factors that allowed the perpetrators of these heinous crimes to continue their operations unabatedly was the all pervasive ‘silence’ which they encountered during their assault on the Jewish community. The author himself lived with the knowledge of these crimes against humanity in anguish and silence for

technique, although taken to its extreme in the novel, is not a new idea. In fact, it dates all the way back to the bible in which damnation is used as punishment in order to promote faithfulness to God. The use of operant conditioning is a key concept in this book, as well as being utilized in the teachings of God within verses and Biblical stories. 1984 best reflects the behavioral studies of B.F. Skinner for operant conditioning. Operant conditioning is “the behavior is followed by a consequence, and

sinful perception, and a healthy measure of pride is acceptable, there is a line of demarcation that cannot be crossed.

A Dwindling Faith "My eyes had opened and I was alone, terribly alone in a world without God " (Wiesel 68). Most people would think hard times would strengthen people's faith, that they would rely even more on their beliefs. But that is not always the case. In times of great crises, people's faith may disintegrate to an almost nonexistent state.

Peter F. Drucker, an American author, once said, "Knowledge has to be constantly improved, challenged, and increased, or it will vanish." Knowledge mainly consists of information, skills, and opinions obtained through life opportunities, encounters with individuals, education, and life lessons.
