About this deal

For example, see allusion to Zechariah 9:9 in Matthew 21:5; also Zechariah 12:10 in John 19:37. These and other references between Zechariah and the New Testament are described in Gill, John, Exposition of the Entire Bible: Introduction to Zechariah, archived from the original on 2009-06-04 , retrieved 2008-12-27 Coogan, Michael D. A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament. New York: Oxford University Press, 2009. Pg. 353 Zechariah's concern for purity is apparent in the temple, priesthood and all areas of life as the prophecy gradually eliminates the influence of the governor in favour of the high priest, and the sanctuary becomes ever more clearly the centre of messianic fulfillment. The prominence of prophecy is quite apparent in Zechariah, but it is also true that Zechariah (along with Haggai) allows prophecy to yield to the priesthood; this is particularly apparent in comparing Zechariah to Third Isaiah (chapters 55–66 of the Book of Isaiah), whose author was active sometime after the first return from exile.

Because I wanted to explore safely. I hoped a dose of manageable terror would (rather like a vaccine) produce antibodies to help me fight my fear. Chapters 9–14 of the Book of Zechariah are an early example of apocalyptic literature. Although not as fully developed as the apocalyptic visions described in the Book of Daniel, the " oracles", as they are titled in Zechariah 9–14, contain apocalyptic elements. One theme these oracles contain is descriptions of the Day of the Lord, when "the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle." [19] These chapters also contain "pessimism about the present, but optimism for the future based on the expectation of an ultimate divine victory and the subsequent transformation of the cosmos". [20] I was disturbed and outraged by Ann’s story. I was desperate for her to defeat Loomis. This was her land and she was there first and what right did he have to come along and take over? How dare he threaten to take charge of her body! Never mind nuclear Armageddon – there were greater things at stake! The story of Z for Zachariah is all about survival in the face of nuclear annihilation. Young heroine Ann Burden finds herself quite possibly the only human being left on earth after the nuclear holocaust. Left to her own devices for survival in the lonely post-apocalyptic world of Amish country somewhere along the northern Atlantic coast, Ann manages to find not just the means to survive but the will. And then a man in a strange green plastic suit reveals that Ann is not necessarily the only survivor. Ann Burden is a teenage girl who believes she is the last survivor of a nuclear war. Since her family's disappearance on a search expedition, she has lived alone on her farm in a small valley spared from radiation poisoning. A year after the war, a stranger in a radiation-proof suit approaches her valley. Afraid he might be dangerous, Ann hides in a cave and does not warn the man when he mistakenly bathes in a radioactive stream. When he falls ill, her fear of being alone forever leads her to reveal herself to help him. She discovers that the stranger is John Loomis, a chemist who helped design a prototype radiation-proof "safe-suit" at an underground lab near Ithaca, New York. Ann moves him into her house and fantasizes about eventually marrying him.Online Bible at GospelHall.org (ESV, KJV, Darby, American Standard Version, Bible in Basic English) Guthrie, Donald (ed.), New Bible Commentary.

O'Brien". The Horn Book Magazine (August 1972): 349–51. This book gave me far more than relief from fear of nuclear war. It gave me a life-long belief in the strength of girls and women. The nightmares still came, but when I woke shivering in the dark, I reminded myself of Ann’s bravery and competency and told myself that I was also capable of being such a person.

Coogan, Michael David (2009). A brief introduction to the Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible in its context. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0-19-983011-4. The story's events are set almost entirely in Burden Valley, a small and remote valley somewhere in the USA. It was named after the protagonist's ancestors, who were its first settlers and built a farm in the northern end. The only other inhabitants were the Kleins, a couple who owned the store and mainly did business with Amish farmers to the south. Ann Burden is the prototype for the young women in my books. By allowing difficult things into their stories, I’ve discovered that the precious things have space to buzz and hum and sing. And the protagonists have room to grow and learn. A powerful post-apocalyptic novel in which nuclear war has devastated America. Z FOR ZACHARIAH by Robert C. O'Brien is one of The Originals from Penguin - iconic, outspoken, first.
