It's time to talk about the shocking, the dramatic, the THRILLING and also, the kind of confusing end of Virgil's Aeneid. What a journey it's been! The story is never truly over, but as we leave Aeneas behind we have to ask--did Virgil mean for it to end this way? With Turnus' blood spilled ruthlessly on the ground and after that, the dark? Some say no--this is an incomplete ending that would have horrified the Emperor Augustus. I say yes--and Augustus would have been delighted. What do you say?

2 Chronicles 29 says that Hezekiah was 25 when he began to rule and reigned for 29 years. Hezekiah walks in the ways of David (his spiritual father). Hezekiah was Judah's greatest ever king - read the testimony in 2 Kings 18 verse 5. This king cleanses the temple from the filth of his father, Ahaz. The Levites had to assist the priests with the task. Note the power of the words of verse 17 - the dedicated work began on the first day of his first month. They prepare for the Passover massive sacrifices and the offerings began as the music of praise and worship began. Seventy bulls were offered representing the 70 nations (Deuteronomy 32:8). Despite the suddenness of what the king did the people rejoiced and supported the Feast.Daniel 9 tells of the prophet's sadness when he realises that the exiles would be in Babylon for 70 years as spoken by Jeremiah in chapter 25. From verses 3-19 Daniel in his prayer confesses his sin and that of the nation expressing that they deserve what had befallen them. From the time he commences praying the angel Gabriel is sent to the beloved prophet to give him understanding of what is termed "the 70 weeks prophecy". That prophecy concerns the work of the Lord Jesus Christ - Messiah the Prince to bring in a "righteousness of the ages". The work is completed between AD30 with the crucifixion and the 70 weeks ending in AD32 with the stoning of Stephen. Each of the segments mentioned can be precisely dated from the archaeological records which exist. Because of the great sin of the nation in crucifying the Lord of glory and refusing the short period provided for repentance Rome would come and destroy Jerusalem. The year was AD33 when we read in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Saul is seeking to destroy the believers in Christ who dwelt in Damascus. Saul presses on as the fierce Syrian sun burns brightly in the sky. Saul is blinded by a light stronger than the sun and he is stirred by a voice that he may well have known, "Saul, Saul why are you persecuting me?" The Syriac Pashito, whose phrase, "It is hard for you to kick against the goads" is added to the English KJV. Saul's response is, "Who are you Lord?" With his eyes blinded and his mind in total turmoil and his entire world view turned upside down (as would be said of him in Acts 17:6) he is led by the hand into the city to await instructions. For three days Saul neither ate nor drank. Ananias is told to go to Saul to lay hands on him to recover Saul's sight. Ananias is further told of Saul's mission which Almighty God has marked out for him. Saul is a chosen vessel to take Christ's message before kings. Ananias goes to the street which ironically named "Straight". Ramsay says in his book that it was the most crooked street in all Damascus. Ananias courageously lays his hands on Saul and restores his sight and imparts to Saul the Holy Spirit. Saul preaches Jesus in the Damascene synagogues to the astonishment of all. From there Saul goes to Jerusalem and seeks association with the believers, who shun him believing that Saul is using a ruse to get among them. Respite from persecution is granted to the ecclesias. Peter heals Aeneas at Lydda slightly inland from Joppa; then at Joppa he is shown the clothes that Dorcas had made for the widows and orphans before her decease. Peter raises her to life to continue her work and from there Peter he goes to the house of Simon the tanner. We might pose a question: Did Peter go to the house of a tanner to prepare himself to accept that ceremonial uncleanness was no longer relevant as we will see in our reading tomorrow from Acts 10?Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Lang geleden leefde er een gevaarlijke Pompoenreus die iedereen angst aanjoeg, vooral de koning die bang was dat de reus zijn enorm grote dochter prinses Ariadne Diana zou opeten. Patroclus, een arme aardappelboer, doodde de reus per ongeluk door een grote aardappel in zijn mond te gooien waardoor de reus stikte, maar de koning vergat hem tot ridder te slaan. Nadat de familie het hoofd van de reus begroef, groeiden er pompoenen op het veld die eruitzagen als reuzenhoofden, wat de mensen eerst angst aanjoeg. Aeneas, de zoon van Patroclus, proefde stiekem van een pompoen en ontdekte dat ze heerlijk smaken, waarna zijn moeder er taarten van ging bakken. Toen de koning de pompoentaart proefde was hij zo onder de indruk dat hij Patroclus alsnog tot ridder sloeg, de hele familie in het paleis liet wonen, en Aeneas met prinses Ariadne Diana liet trouwen.

The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half treats the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed. The poem was commissioned from Vergil by the Emperor Augustus to glorify Rome. Several critics think that the hero Aeneas' abandonment of the Cartheginian Queen Dido, is meant as a statement of how Augustus' enemy, Mark Anthony, should have behaved with the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra.

Virgil may be slowly unravelling as Augustus forces him to write propaganda into the Aeneid, but Aeneas is charging full steam ahead into his conflict against the Rutulians. Join us for duels, ancient world macchiatos and a boat-based answering machine. Oh, and a tangent exploring who exactly these Etruscans are we will be hearing so much about.Sources for this episode:TBA
Title: Acts: Finale Text: The Book of Acts FCF: Prop: The Book of Acts is about God's Kingdom advancing without hindrance, so we must seek His Kingdom first. Sermon Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to the book of Acts. There are 1006 verses in the book of Acts, and by God's grace we have looked at each and every one of them. We have investigated every thought of the author, in the order in which he was inspired to present them to us. But we are by nature quite forgetful people, aren't we? Do you remember what we were talking about in Acts chapter 10? Even if you remember what we talked about in chapter 10 – how does Acts chapter 10 fit in with the book of Acts? How does it fit in with the whole of the New Testament or the whole bible? Today will be a different kind of message. Instead of looking at a particular text, we are instead going to assume the role of systematic theologians. Rather than sitting back and allowing one thought to pour over us from the text – we will instead fit together all we have learned into categories of truth. We know, because of the introduction of the book of Luke, that Luke writes these two books to assure Theophilus that what he has believed is certainly true. So how does Acts accomplish that? How does the message of Acts connect with the book of Luke and the rest of the New Testament? How does this message relate to the whole counsel of God's Word? And perhaps most applicable, what does Luke's message mean for us? I have attempted to give you a running start on answering those questions today. I have provided an outline to you of the entire book. And today we'll look at, what I think are the 4 major themes in the book of Acts. Do not assume that these 4 themes are the sum total of Luke's message. And do not assume that after this message you will know everything there is to know about the book of Acts. The Word of God is living and active, its truths run deeper than we may ever know. I'd say that after this sermon, and the 99 before it, you'll be well on your way to a good introduction of the book of Acts.

Vache Baroque didn't start with a five-year plan. It started with a can-do attitude. In 2020, soprano-producer Betty Makharinsky and conductor Jonathan Darbourne looked at a locked-down industry and staged Purcell's Dido and Aeneas outdoors—in eleven weeks. Since then they've built a distinctive live experience: bold repertoire choices, playful staging, circus performers, and sound design subtle enough that you barely notice it but absolutely benefit from. In this episode, Betty charts that journey—from scratch startup to trusted aesthetic—and why serving the audience sometimes means re-thinking tradition. Bear in mind this podcast does battle with some automated announcements from the Southbank Centre.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to step out in faith and believe in the God of impossibility. The story of Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead in Acts 9 serves as a compelling reminder that God is still in the business of miracles. We're encouraged to be available and interruptible, just as Peter was, allowing God to use us in unexpected ways. The parallel drawn between these events and Jesus raising Jairus' daughter emphasizes that what seems impossible to us is merely 'sleeping' to God. This message urges us to reflect on areas in our lives where we've stopped believing for the miraculous, perhaps because we've curated our lives so carefully that we no longer need faith. Are we willing to trust God for the impossible, even when it means stepping out of our comfort zones? This teaching reminds us that God's name is not 'I was' but 'I AM' - He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, capable of doing the extraordinary in our ordinary lives.

The planets are aligning, the moment is almost here, the fates are sealed...or are they?? Today, in our penultimate episode, right as Aeneas looks poised to take up the mantle of his destiny and live out the greatness that Augustus will one day inherit, everything seems to fall apart. The Gods throw up their hands, and the Rutulians go ferociously to war against the Trojans. Can it be that Virgil actually doesn't want us to know what happens next? Can it be the future of Rome is not as guaranteed as it seemed to be? Find out on this episode--plus, advice for writers to hone their skills.

Aeneas holds some surprise funeral games in honour of his father, as he unexpectedly remembers that it's been one year since his father Anchises died. Not only that, but he must also venture deep into the bowels of the underworld to go and speak to that same father- and receive a prophecy about the future of his lineage and the people he will found.

Today on Young Heretics: a violent and unjust seizure of indigenous land!!! At least, according to Juno and the Furies, goddesses of retribution and blood guilt. Actually, the situation in Rome and in the Aeneid is a lot more complicated than that, which is one reason why the conclusion of the poem is a refreshingly sophisticated antidote to our often-oversimplified conversations about history, territory, colonialism, and the sins of the past.

I november 1679 kliver kung Karl XI iland på Trossö i Blekinges skärgård. Redan året därpå får Karlskrona sina stadsprivilegier. Här ska ett nytt nav för Sveriges sjömakt växa fram – långt från huvudstadens hamnar, men närmare ärkefienden Danmark.Bakom beslutet låg dyrköpta lärdomar från det skånska kriget (1675–1679), där Sverige nästan förlorade Skåne och flottan led ett förödande nederlag vid Ölands södra udde. I samband med detta gick regalskeppet Kronan under, och över 800 man omkom.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med, historikern Olle Larsson, om varför Karlskrona grundades, varför platsen valdes och hur stadens unika historia formades av flottan och samtidens marinstrategi. Detta är ett betalt samarbete med Destination Karlskrona.Det svenska riket var ett sjörike där vattenvägarna förenade stormaktens alla delar. Flottans uppgift var att skydda dessa förbindelser och möjliggöra snabb truppförflyttning. Därför blev en örlogsstad längre söderut inte bara önskvärd, utan absolut nödvändig.Efter freden i Roskilde 1658 – då Danmark avträdde Skåne, Halland och Blekinge till Sverige – blev behovet av en stark närvaro i södra Östersjön uppenbart. Det Skånska kriget visade dessutom att Stockholms hamn låg för långt norrut, och flottan där var ofta oförmögen att rycka ut – fartygen frös fast om vintern och underhållet var bristfälligt.Den 10 augusti 1680 kungör Karl XI stadsprivilegierna för Karlskrona – Sveriges första systematiskt planerade stad. Den byggdes främst för militära ändamål och utstrålade stormaktstidens storslagna ambitioner och var utformade efter barockens ideal—monumentalitet, symmetri och breda, raka gator. Stadens formgivning hämtade inspiration från andra stora europeiska anläggningar, bland annat Versailles och antikens Rom, samt örlogsstäder i England, Frankrike och Holland.Här skulle flottan husera, men också en helt ny befolkning leva, handla och arbeta i nära samspel med kanoner, kaserner och skeppsvarv. För att snabbt få igång stadens liv tvingades borgare från Ronneby, Kristianopel och andra orter att flytta hit. Dessutom omplacerades 3 000 finländare – varav över 1 100 båtsmän med familjer – till Blekinge. Skeppstimmermän och hantverkare hämtades från Österbotten, Roslagen, Bohuslän och till och med från Skeppsholmen i Stockholm, som stod tom på både material och manskap. Under 1690-talet bodde omkring 4 000 personer i Karlskrona som skulle bli rikets tredje stad efter Stockholm och Riga.På Trossö såg Karl XI och hans rådgivare chansen att skapa något helt nytt: en kombination av flottbas och barockstad, både strategiskt placerad och symbolisk för svensk dominans.År 1683 utformades stadsplanen av Erik Dahlbergh, Hans Wachtmeister och Carl Magnus Stuart enligt barockens ideal: raka gator, stora torg och en tydlig uppdelning mellan civilt och militärt. Fästningar, broförbindelser till fastlandet och ett av Europas mest moderna skeppsvarv började ta form. För att locka handel erbjöd staten tullfrihet.Musik Dido och Aeneas tredje akten av Henry Purcell, inspelad 1935 med dirigenten Clarence Raybould, sångarna Nancy Evans, Roy Henderson, Mary Hamlin, Mary Jarred, Gwen Catley, samt Boyd Neel String Orchester.

Aeneas takes a break from finding Italy to find love- and then destroy it all in a life-ending tragedy that will set up the Punic Wars. Join us for recollections of the cyclopes Odysseus fought, Virgil standing up for family values and just quite how romantic spelunking was in the ancient world.NOTE: We mention the mythical founding of Carthage being centuries apart from the supposed date of the fall of Troy in the episode. Ancient authors do not really agree with each other about the date, so we get anywhere from 50 years after Troy falls to 65 years before Rome is founded as the date.Sources for this episode:Odgers, M.

Historians face many problems in piecing together the past from ancient inscriptions. They're usually incomplete, and also their origin and date may not be known.历史学家们在用古代铭文拼凑过往时面临许多难题。这些铭文通常残缺不全,而且它们的来源和年代也可能无从知晓。Researchers attempt to fill in the blanks by drawing on texts that are similar in wording, grammar, and appearance. Ancient inscriptions tend to be formulaic, so historians can infer what the missing part of the sentence is saying from similar inscriptions. The process is painstaking and can take months or years.研究人员们尝试填补铭文中的空白部分,他们通过借鉴在措辞、语法和外观上类似的文本来完成这项工作。古代铭文往往具有程式化的特征,所以历史学家们可以从相似的铭文中推断出一个句子中缺失的部分所要表达的内容。这个过程是十分艰难的,可能需要数月甚至数年的时间。Aeneas does this in the blink of an eye, by drawing from a database of 176,000 ancient Roman writings.而埃涅阿斯仅用一眨眼的功夫就能完成这项工作,它依靠的是从一个包含 17.6 万份古罗马文献的数据库中提取信息。

När Augustus grep makten under den utdragna maktkampen i spåren av mordet Julius Caesars genomlevde Rom en djup identitetskris. Republiken hade kollapsat, och ett nytt imperium växte fram – styrt av en man som vägrade titulera sig kung, men ändå utövade envälde i praktiken. För att befästa sin ställning och skapa den långvariga freden – Pax Romana – insåg Augustus att han behövde kontrollera mer än armén och senaten; han måste också forma romarnas värderingar, livsstil och kultur. Men han lyckades inte kontrollera sin egen dotter Julia.I det sjätte och avslutande avsnittet i Historia Nu:s sexdelade serie om Romarriket samtalar Urban Lindstedt med Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet.Ett av de tydligaste uttrycken för detta var Augustus försök att kontrollera det privata livet – särskilt äktenskap, sexualitet och kvinnlig dygd. Genom lagar som Lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus (18 f.Kr.) och Lex Iulia de adulteriis coercendis (17 f.Kr.) ville Augustus återupprätta så kallade romerska dygder. Gifta medborgare – särskilt från överklassen – förväntades föda fler barn och leva moraliskt. Ogifta kunde drabbas av ekonomiska straff, och äktenskapsbrott blev ett offentligt brott. Kvinnor hamnade i fokus för regleringen: lojalitet, trohet och moderskap framhölls som ideal. Ironiskt nog drabbades hans egen dotter Julia – landsförvisad år 2 f.Kr. för påstått omoraliskt leverne – vilket innebar ett officiellt bakslag för hans moralism.Samtidigt kultiverade han en ny kulturell identitet genom att skydda och uppmuntra den latinska poesin – det som kom att kallas "det gyllene århundradet". Poeter som Horatius, Vergilius och, inledningsvis, Ovidius var nära kopplade till hans hov. Aeneiden av Vergilius blev ett epokgörande nationalepos som förenade myt, historia och Augustusrötter och kopplade honom till guden Venus genom Aeneas släktlinje. Ovidius, vars verk som Metamorfoser och Ars Amatoria klantades med kärlek och förförelse, förvisades till Svarta havets kust år 8 e.Kr. – i ett tydligt tecken på kulturens spänning under Augustus regim.En av hans mest konkreta kvarlevor är byggnadsverk. Augustus återuppbyggde gamla tempel, lät uppföra nya offentliga byggnader och förskönade stadens infrastruktur – allt vitalt för att skapa ett värdigt Rom. I Res Gestae Divi Augusti sammanfattar han sin insats: “Jag tog över en stad av tegel och lämnade en av marmor.” Monument som Ara Pacis och Mars Ultors tempel på Forum Augustum manifesterade hans roll som fredsstiftare och Caesars arvtagare – och fyllde stadsrummet med arkitektonisk symbolik, arbetstillfällen och belöningar för lojalitet. Det nya Rom – mjukgatad i marmor – blev ett monument över hans makt.Omslag: Bröderna Tiberius och Gaius Gracchus var romerska folktribuner som verkade för omfattande jord- och samhällsreformer till förmån för de fattiga klasserna.

...And also, pizza. Kind of. This might be one of the coolest parts of Virgil ever, and even though I've been reading the Aeneid since high school, I feel like I only just figured it out. One of the most famous lines of the poem—forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit, “one day it will be pleasing to remember even these things—finds its answer in Book 7, when Aeneas arrives on shore and has to face the possibility of war with the, erm...indigenous Latinx peoples.

Att en liten stad vid floden Tibern på den italienska halvön kunde förvandlas till ett imperium som sträckte sig från Mesopotamien till Britannien har fängslat oss i årtusenden. Och Romarriket fortsätter att påverka oss genom språk, arkitektur och lagstiftning.Romarrikets ursprung vilar på legenderna om tvillingarna Romulus och Remus och även hjälten Aeneas från Troja. Dessa myter visar vilka ideal Romarriket byggdes på.Detta är det första av sex avsnitt om Romarriket i podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur och samhällsliv vid Göteborgs universitet.Arkeologiska fynd visar att bosättningar fanns på Palatinen och Roms andra kullar redan under 800-talet f.Kr. Utgrävningar visar ett samhälle i förändring, påverkat av grannar som etruskerna, och med en växande ambition att härska över mer än bara sina egna sju kullar.Den viktigaste faktorn bakom Roms expansion under antiken var dess militära styrka och organisatoriska skicklighet. Genom ett disciplinerat och flexibelt armésystem, strategisk utplacering av kolonier samt effektiv integration av erövrade folk som medborgare eller allierade, kunde Rom snabbt utvidga sitt herravälde.Det geografiska läget vid Tibern möjliggjorde handel och kommunikation, vilket skapade resurser och strategiska fördelar. Handelsvägar och ekonomiska incitament ledde till välstånd och möjliggjorde import av livsmedel och råvaror – avgörande för att försörja den växande befolkningen och försörja armén. Politisk stabilitet och ett fungerande rättssystem, som de tolv tavlornas lag, bidrog till ordning i ett snabbt växande rike.Roms järnåldersbyar växte gradvis samman. På 600-talet f.Kr. dränerades myrmarkerna mellan kullarna med hjälp av Cloaca Maxima, och Forum Romanum började ta form som stadens centrum.Rom utvecklades från ett kungadöme – där sju legendariska kungar regerade till en republik från år 509 f.Kr. Republiken kom att expandera till ett imperium som kom att dominera hela Medelhavsområdet och stora delar av Europa.Under denna tid utövade etruskerna stort inflytande på Rom. Ett tekniskt och konstnärligt lyft märks i övergången från enkla hyddor till tegel- och stenbyggnader, och från lokala kulter till monumentala tempel. Etruskisk stadsplanering, religiösa ritualer och symboler som fasces införlivades i den romerska kulturen.Etruskerna hade ett utvecklat skriftspråk, avancerad teknik och ett rikt religiöst system som påverkade romarna. Gudavärlden förändrades: den tidigare enkla italiska tron ersattes gradvis av en mer antropomorf och hellenistiskt influerad pantheon. Triaden Jupiter, Juno och Minerva blev symboler för romersk makt och ordning.Omslag: Montage med bröderna Tiberius och Gaius Gracchus som var romerska folktribuner som verkade för omfattande jord- och samhällsreformer till förmån för de fattiga klasserna.

Reader: John Hargrave Preacher: Jonathan Smith Today we are looking at Acts, chapter 9, verses 31 to 43, where there is peace in the church following Paul's conversion. As a result of the peace, the church is able to do what it is meant to do - proclaim the name of Jesus by living like Jesus. Peter does exactly this. He witnessed Jesus healing a crippled man and bringing a person back to life. Peter is faced with the very same situtions. Imitating Jesus, Peter heals Aeneas and has him walking, and he raises Tabitha from the dead BUT it is not Peter who is doing this. Peter clearly states it is Jesus who is performing these miracles. Peter is just the conduit. Peter was an ordinary man living doing extraordinary things in the power of the Holy Spirit - and that is the lesson for us. We too are ordinary people and we too can do extraordinary things in the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring glory to God. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make all of life all about Jesus.
In this Bible Story, we witness the righteous anger of Jesus. During the Passover, corrupt money-changers and religious leaders exploit people’s desire to worship. So Jesus fashions a whip and drives them out. This story is inspired by John 2:13-23, John 3: 1-21, Numbers 21:4-9. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is John 2:15 from the King James Version.Episode 178: As Jesus entered the temple gates during Passover, His eyes were open to the corruption of that sacred place. Where there should have been awe and a sense of holiness, a marketplace existed. Instead of forgiveness, the religious leaders were requiring fees. Jesus could not stand this happening in God’s temple, so He drove out the buyers, sellers, and the money changers! The temple priests challenged Him on this but Jesus did not falter. Later that evening though, one of the Pharisees came to Him to know more about who He was and what He came to do.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

And now for something completely different. The Odyssey portion of our tour is over, and the Iliad portion will now begin. But wait! Wasn't the Iliad a poem about war? And isn't Aeneas supposed to do battle for Latium? So why is it all sunshine, butterflies, and love goddesses? Today we launch into Part II of the poem with a passage that has bamboozled scholars for centuries, and of course I will deliver the definitive interpretation so that everyone can stop arguing. Plus: a plot summary of what's to come, and advice on reading classic literature if you're having trouble understanding it.

L'Empire romain nous a légué des milliers d'inscriptions, précieuses pour comprendre son histoire. Mais beaucoup sont arrivées jusqu'à nous abîmées par le temps : lettres effacées, fragments manquants, supports brisés. Un casse-tête permanent pour les historiens, d'autant que chaque année, pas moins de 1 500 nouvelles inscriptions latines sont mises au jour. Pour leur venir en aide, Google et l'université de Nottingham ont mis au point Aeneas, une intelligence artificielle spécialement conçue pour reconstituer ces textes. Dans la revue Nature, les chercheurs détaillent ses capacités : identifier l'origine d'une inscription, retrouver des parallèles dans d'autres corpus, et surtout compléter les parties manquantes.Concrètement, Aeneas s'appuie sur les ressemblances visuelles et linguistiques avec plus de 176 000 inscriptions latines issues de grandes bases de données comme EDR ou EDH. De quoi lui permettre de proposer des reconstructions plausibles. Sa précision atteint 73 % lorsque la lacune ne dépasse pas dix caractères, et reste à 58 % quand la longueur du texte manquant est inconnue. Pas infaillible donc, mais déjà un gain de temps considérable pour les chercheurs, qui conservent la main et peuvent vérifier étape par étape le raisonnement de l'IA.Et Aeneas a un atout supplémentaire : sa capacité à repérer des détails passés inaperçus pour l'œil humain, ouvrant parfois de nouvelles pistes d'interprétation. L'outil pourrait aussi s'adapter à d'autres langues anciennes, à des papyrus ou même à des pièces de monnaie. D'ailleurs, Google l'a déjà intégré à Ithaca, son IA dédiée au grec. Bonne nouvelle : Aeneas est disponible gratuitement, en open source, avec son code et ses données accessibles sur GitHub. Une manière d'élargir encore le champ des possibles… et de donner une seconde vie aux voix éteintes de Rome. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Countertenor Arturo Den Hartog is nog maar net aan zijn carrière begonnen en heeft nu al verschillende lovende kritieken op zijn naam staan. Zijn zang wordt geroemd om zijn indrukwekkende stemomvang en verfijnde expressie. Afgelopen jaar stond hij onder andere in de voorstelling Normality No More van Conny Janssen Danst met het Regazze Kwartet en zong hij de rol van Aeneas in het Concertgebouw. Hij groeide op in Paramaribo (Suriname) en kwam op zijn 18e naar Nederland om te studeren aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

Notes//Quotes: Acts 9:31-43 - Faith Title: Questions, Holy Disruptions, And The Ministry Of Small Things “The three Peter-stories Luke selects are i) a double miracle story how Aeneas was healed and Tabitha raised from death), (ii) a conversion story (how Cornelius was brought to faith), and (ili) an escape story how Peter was rescued from prison and so from Herod's evil intentions). Each may be seen as a confrontation - with disease and death, with Gentile alienation and with political tyranny. Moreover, in each case conflict gave place to victory - the cure of Aeneas, the resuscitation of Tabitha, the conversion of Cornelius, and the removal of Herod.” - John Stott “Gazelles—small antelopes spoken of in the Bible—are known for their grace and beauty. Some live where rains provide water. But one type, the Dorcas gazelle, can spend its entire life in the desert without drinking—receiving hydration only from plants. This gives it a mysterious quality rather like that of a Christian, whose source of life and love is an invisible fountain of living water, as Jesus promised (John 7:38).” - In Touch Ministries “The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.” - G. K. Chesterton “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” (James 1:27)

Send us a textRecorded LIVE at Grace Baptist Tabernacle on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Come visit us! You are welcome and expected here!What happens when you've been bedridden for eight years with no hope of recovery? The story of Aeneas reveals the transformative power of five simple words: "Jesus Christ makes you whole."This profound message explores spiritual paralysis through the lens of a man who couldn't move without help. For eight years - a divinely appointed timeframe - Aeneas remained trapped in his condition, beyond medical intervention, unable to change his circumstances. His physical state mirrors our spiritual reality: helplessly bound by sin, separated from God, and powerless to save ourselves.The symptoms are familiar. Perhaps you're battling the slow cancer of pride that gradually consumes until the inevitable fall. Maybe it's the fever of hatred burning inside, affecting your mind and body. Or possibly you're caught in the cycle of addiction - highs followed by crashes, with mounting consequences. The paralysis of lust might be your struggle, constantly dominating your thoughts and emotions. Whatever the manifestation, the root cause remains the same: separation from the God who formed you.When Peter approached Aeneas with those transformative words, something remarkable happened. "He arose immediately." Not merely healed physically, but made whole spiritually. His sickbed became a place of rest rather than misery. His weakness turned to strength. His bondage gave way to freedom. And the impact reached far beyond one man - an entire region witnessed the transformation and turned to the Lord.The message resonates powerfully today: Jesus still makes people whole. He still approaches those in helpless situations, offering complete transformation. While we were yet without strength, Christ died for the ungodly. His hand remains extended to those burdened by guilt, shame, anger, bitterness, depression, or despair.Are you ready to exchange your sickbed for a place of rest? Jesus is passing by, offering wholeness to those who recognize their need. Believe on Him with a sincere heart, and experience the freedom that comes when Jesus Christ makes you whole.Support the showNEW BOOK! I'm pleased to say that we have completed a new book that has been years in the making. The Ten Shirot: Songs of Redemption looks at ten songs that were sung through pivotal times in Scripture. It's an examination of the redemption of Jesus, of worship, and of Scripture in a way that we believe you probably haven't seen before.

We explore Acts 9:32-46 and witness God's power on display through the healing of Aeneas and the raising of Tabitha—reminders that He is still able, still sovereign, and still working. Through these stories, we're called to a renewed faith, bold prayer, and a deeper trust in the God who brings life to the broken.
In this episode of The Classical Mind, we take on Virgil's Aeneid. We explore Aeneas' journey as both refugee and empire-builder, tracing his flight from Troy, his doomed romance with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the brutal war that led to the founding of Rome. Along the way, we wrestle with the epic's central tensions: fate and providence, duty (pietas) and rage (furor), divine will and human cost. What kind of hero is Aeneas? Why does the poem end with vengeance and wrath? And what does Virgil want us to believe—or question—about Rome's origins?

One of the West's great recurring characters, the Sibyl of Cumae, takes center stage today. Deranged, holy, prophetic, and apparently totally jacked, she guided Rome throughout its history and now teaches Aeneas what he must do to become the man who can found Rome. She may have been one of the pagan visionaires who prophesied the coming of Christ. Plus she's part of a crazy history that goes back to the invention of the alphabet and all the way to the creation of Star Wars. Then: another figure of speech you'll see everywhere once you learn it.

If, like me, you're still sore about what they did to the Gladiator franchise, let this episode be part of your healing journey. It's certainly part of Aeneas': with the fleet grounded back in Sicily, the crew realizes it's been one year since the death of his father Anchises. This is the occasion for a good old fashioned fight night, with funeral games in honor of the great patriarch. It's a connection between Rome's gladiatorial entertainments and the heroic passtimes of yore, a way for Aeneas to seek closure after his year of grief, and a pause between the emotional tryst with Dido and the biggest challenge yet: the descent into the underworld.

There are some indelible scenes inscribed forever into the psyche of the West, and the death of Dido is one of them. When William Congreve wrote that "Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd," he surely had in mind this archetype of all scorned women, the tragic heroine who stands in for every abandoned lover and for an entire civilization. Aeneas--and Rome--must leave her ruthlessly in the dust. But no one knows how to guilt trip you like your ex, and no one knows how to remonstrate with Rome like Carthage. All the same, in the end...destiny awaits.

I'm not saying that the catastrophe in Carthage could have been avoided. I'm just saying, everyone--the two main characters especially--behaved very badly. Now the deed is done, the nymphs are ululating, the "wedding"(?) announcements are out, and the gods are on the move to put a stop to all this. Which means Aeneas has some hard conversations he has to have and he...punts. Not his proudest moment. But instructive for us and as always, beautiful, timeless poetry. Enjoy!

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 9 Saul, later known as Paul, continues to pursue Christians to imprison them. On his way to Damascus, a light from heaven stops him. He hears Jesus speaking, asking why Saul is persecuting Him. Blinded, Saul is led into the city to wait for instructions. Meanwhile, God instructs Ananias to visit Saul and restore his sight. Despite his fear, Ananias obeys. Saul learns that he will become an apostle to the Gentiles. After regaining his sight, he is immediately baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. Saul begins to preach boldly, prompting the Jews to seek to kill him. He escapes to Jerusalem, where Barnabas vouches for him. The chapter also recounts Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead, demonstrating God's power and inspiring many new believers in Jesus. Saul's story highlights the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His conversion shows that no one is beyond the call of the gospel. God often uses individuals like Ananias to fulfill His mission. We must confront our fears and seize opportunities to share God's hope with others. It is also inspiring to see Saul immediately active in sharing his faith. Some of the greatest passion for evangelism comes from new converts. We can learn a great deal from them. Like Barnabas, we should defend and support new believers to help God's people embrace them. Lastly, Tabitha was deeply missed and cherished for her charitable spirit. We should seek to be cherished servants among God's people, known for “deeds of kindness and charity.” Glorious Father, we praise Your patience and relentless pursuit of sinners. You humbled and restored Saul, as You have done with us. We are living testaments to Your grace and love. Teach us to live with gratitude and to obey Your call to share Jesus with others, even when it feels risky or uncertain. Give us the spirit of vigor and the voice of joy to express our faith like those who are new in Christ. Please create an opportunity today to tell someone that You are the Healer, the Forgiver, and You have the power even to raise the dead! Thought Questions: - What does Saul's conversion tell you about God's love? Saul committed to God out of gratitude. How powerful is gratitude in driving your faith? - Barnabas defends Saul when others are fearful. How should you be like Barnabas when someone with a troubled past comes to Christ? - Tabitha was treasured for her charitable deeds. When you pass from this life, how do you want to be remembered by the family of God?
Virgil, master of the setup, is now laying the groundwork for some of the Aeneid's major setpieces: the love affair with Dido, the voyage into the underworld. But first Aeneas has to pass a different milestone, one that people sometimes miss: he has to say goodbye to his father. It's one of the most human moments of the poem--something every single one of us has to go through--elevated to magisterial significance in the hero's journey. Follow along with us to the end of Book III as Aeneas enters a new stage in his adventure. Plus: a firsthand update from the Ivies after my trip to Ithaca to give a speech at Cornell.

It's time to embark on Book III of the Aeneid, and with it a mini-Odyssey. But there's a catch: Odysseus had home waiting for him at the end of all his wanderings. Aeneas has left home behind him, and he can never return. This episode is about why that's so important--for Virgil, for Augustus, for Rome at the dawn of its imperial age, and for America on the verge of its 250th birthday. Plus: my daily routine does not involve rubbing banana peel on my face. But it does involve the liturgy of the hours. 100/10 would recommend!
