What happened in Ancient Mali in 1235?
The Inca empire dominates the Andes region of South America. Its population numbers as many as 12 million. Incan society is based on a strict hierarchy, with an emperor who rules with absolute power. Their religion is based on sun-worship, and they are skilled builders who create a system of roads and irrigation. The Cloth Hall at Ypres, in Flanders (now part of Belgium), one of the finest Gothic secular buildings of the late Middle Ages, is built. It is destroyed in 1915. The French mason Villard de Honnecourt produces a sketchbook; it provides a unique insight into the practices of Gothic architects. With the capture of Ibiza, King James I of Aragon completes his conquest of the Balearic Islands. Sundiata, a Mandingo chief from the minor state of Kangaba, rebels against Sumanguru of Kaniaga, the dominant ruler in the west African Sahel, and defeats him at the Battle of Kirina (in southwest Mali). Sundiata compels Sumanguru's subjects to recognize his overlordship, so founding the empire of Mali. The French engineer Villard de Honnecourt produces an architectural sketchbook, including plans of water-driven machinery such as sawmills, and a screw jack for lifting loads. It becomes a standard manual for engineers and architects.
What did Jesus mean when he termed the phrase house divided against itself can not stand'?
- More common terms... "A political party divided amongst itself can not stand.""House" could be absolutely anything. It could be a person, a place, a thing (and, well, it is.)If one a structure, person, or group's direction, or OPINION, is divided, it won't last.+God is the sun.He Announced a New Kingdom (Mark 3:22-30;4:1-34)The crowds hoped that Jesus would deliver the nation and defeat Rome. Instead, He called twelve ordinary men and founded a "new nation," a spiritual nation whose citizens had their names written down in heaven (Luke 10:20; Phil. 3:20). The crowds wanted Jesus to behave like a loyal Jew and honor His family, but Jesus established a "new family" made up of all those who trusted Him and did the will of God. The crowds also expected Him to restore the kingdom and bring back Israel's lost glory; but His response was to announce a new kingdom, a spiritual kingdom."Kingdom" is a key word in this section (Mark 3:24; 4:11, 26, 30). John the Baptist had announced that the arrival of the King was near and he had warned the people to prepare to meet Him (Mark 1:1-8). Jesus took up John's message and preached the Good News of the kingdom and the necessity for sinners to repent and believe (Mark 1:14-15). But what is this kingdom like? If the Lord was not going to restore Israel and set up a political kingdom, what kind of kingdom was He planning to establish?At this point, Mark introduced a new word-parables (see Mark 3:23; 4:2, 10-11, 13, 33-34). Jesus explained the kingdom, not by giving a lecture on theology, but by painting pictures that captured the attention of the people and forced them to use their imaginations and think. Our English word parable comes from two Greek words that mean "to cast alongside" (para-alongside; ballo-to throw or cast). A parable is a story or figure placed alongside a teaching to help us understand its meaning. It is much more than "an earthly story with a heavenly meaning," and it certainly is not an "illustration" such as a preacher would use in a sermon. A true parable gets the listener deeply involved and compels that listener to make a personal decision about God's truth and his or her life. So penetrating and personal are parables that, after they heard several of them, the religious leaders wanted to kill the Lord Jesus! (see Matt. 21:45-46)A parable begins innocently as a picture that arrests our attention and arouses our interest. But as we study the picture, it becomes a mirror in which we suddenly see ourselves. If we continue to look by faith, the mirror becomes a windowthrough which we see God and His truth. How we respond to that truth will determine what further truth God will teach us.Why did Jesus teach in parables? His disciples asked Him that very question (Mark 4:10-12; and see Matt. 13:10-17). A careful study of His reply reveals that Jesus used parables both to hide the truth and to reveal it. The crowd did not judge the parables; the parables judged the crowd. The careless listener, who thought he knew everything, would hear only a story that he did not really understand; and the result in his life would be judgment (see Matt. 11:25-30). The sincere listener, with a desire to know God's truth, would ponder the parable, confess his ignorance, submit to the Lord, and then begin to understand the spiritual lesson Jesus wanted to teach.Jesus placed a great deal of importance on the hearing of the Word of God. In one form or another, the word hear is used thirteen times in Mark 4:1-34. Obviously, our Lord was speaking, not about physical hearing, but about hearing with spiritual discernment. To "hear" the Word of God means to understand it and obey it (see James 1:22-25).Our Lord gave several parables to help the people (and that included His disciples) understand the nature of His kingdom.The strong man (vv.22-30). Jesus healed a demoniac who was both blind and dumb (Matt. 12:22-24), and the scribes and Pharisees used this miracle as an opportunity to attack Him. The crowd was saying, "Perhaps this Man is indeed the Son of David, the Messiah." But the religious leaders said, "No, He is in league with Beelzebub! It is Satan's power that is at work in Him, not God's power.""Beelzebub" (or "Beelzebul") is a name for the devil, and it means "master of the house." Jesus picked up on this meaning and gave a parable about a strong man guarding his house. To plunder the house, one must first overcome the strong man.Jesus exposed both their bad theology and their faulty logic. If it was by the power of Satan that He had cast out the demon, then Satan was actually fighting against himself! This meant that Satan's house and kingdom were divided and therefore on the verge of collapse. Satan had been guarding that man carefully because the devil does not want to lose any of his territory. The fact that Jesus delivered the man was proof that He was stronger than Satan and that Satan could not stop Him.Jesus did much more than answer their false accusation. He went on to explain the seriousness of what they had said. After all, our words reveal what is hidden in our hearts (Matt. 12:35), and what is in our hearts determines our character, conduct, and destiny. We sometimes say, "Talk is cheap!" But in reality, what we say can be very costly. Jesus warned the Jewish religious leaders that they were in danger of committing an eternal and unforgivable sin (Matt. 12:32).Special:WysiwygThe Bible Exposition Commentary, "An Exposition of the New Testament Comprising the Entire 'BE' Series"--Jkt.
