This article is about the feeling. For
the feast day, see Epiphany (holiday).
An epiphany (from the ancient Greek
ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking
appearance") is the sudden realization or comprehension of the (larger)
essence or meaning of something. The term is used in either a philosophical or literal sense to signify that the claimant has "found
the last piece of the puzzle and now sees the whole picture," or has new
information or experience, often insignificant by itself, that illuminates a
deeper or numinous foundational frame of reference.
Epiphanies of sudden comprehension have also
made possible leaps in technology and the sciences. Famous
epiphanies include Archimedes' realization of how to estimate the volume of a given
mass, which inspired him to shout "Eureka!" ("I
have found it!"). The biographies of many mathematicians and scientists
include an epiphanic episode early in the career, the ramifications of which
were worked out in detail over the following years. For example, Albert Einstein was
struck as a young child by being given a compass, and realizing that some unseen
force in space was making it move. An example of a flash of holistic understanding
in a prepared mind was Charles Darwin's
"hunch" (about natural selection) during The Voyage of the
Beagle.

The Nicene Creed, composed
in part and adopted at the First Council of Nicaea (325) and revised with additions by the First
Council of Constantinople (381), is a
creed that summarises
the orthodox faith of the Christian Church and is used in the liturgy of most
Christian Churches. This article endeavours to give the text of
English-language translations in current liturgical use.
Other English translations are given in
scholarly works such as J.N.D. Kelly's Early Christian Creeds and Philip
Schaff's Creeds of Christendom, and in prayer books of many
denominations.
While work by the International
Consultation on English Texts (ICET)
was still in progress, the Roman Catholic Church in the United States published
its English version of the Roman Missal, incorporating for the Nicene Creed the
ICET draft as it stood in 1973. This version remains in use in the United
States until late November 2011, but in other countries the Roman Catholic
Church uses (again until 26 November 2011) ICET's slightly later definitive
text, published in 1975. The points where the 1973 text differs from the later
version are here indicated in italics.
We believe in
one God,
the Father, the Almighty
maker of
heaven and earth,
of all that is
seen and unseen.
We believe in
one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son
of God,
eternally
begotten of the Father,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from
true God,
begotten, not
made,
one
in Being with the
Father.
Through him
all things were made.
For us men
and for our salvation
he came down
from heaven
by the power
of the Holy Spirit
he was
born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake
he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate;
he suffered,
died, and was buried.
On the third
day he rose again
in fulfillment
of the Scriptures;
and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his
kingdom will have no end.
We believe in
the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,
who proceeds
from the Father and the Son.
With the
Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken
through the Prophets.
We believe in
one holy catholic and apostolic
Church.
We
acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for
the resurrection of the dead,
and the life
of the world to come. Amen.
"Of one Being with the Father"
(1975) replaced "one in Being with the Father" (1973), which, when
spoken, could be confused with "one, in being with the Father".
"He became incarnate from the Virgin
Mary, and was made man" (1975) replaced "He was born of the Virgin
Mary, and became man" (1973): neither Greek "σαρκωθέντα" nor
Latin "incarnatus" means "born", and the 1973 text linked
hominization ("became man") with birth ("he was born").
"He suffered death and was buried"
(1975) replaced "he suffered, died, and was buried" (1973):
"παθόντα" in Greek and "passus" in Latin are indicative of
a suffering demise; but the 1973 draft inserted an extra verb,
"died", not present in the original Greek or Latin.
"For us men and for our salvation" has
been the usual translation of "δι' ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν
σωτηρίαν". The 1988 ELLC ecumenical version omits the word
"men", corresponding to "τοὺς ἀνθρώπους". Instead of simply
omitting the word "men", some replace it with the word
"all", equivalent to replacing "τοὺς ἀνθρώπους" with
"πάντας".
In the original Greek text, "τοὺς
ἀνθρώπους" (tous anthropous), usually translated as "men", is
unambiguous, since "ἄνθρωποι" (anthropoi) means human beings, while
"ἄνδρες" (andres) means male human beings, as opposed to
"γυναῖκες" (gynaikes), female human beings.
Reduction of the phrase "for us
men" to "for us" or "for us all" has been criticized
as ambiguous and capable of being understood to refer merely to the members of
the congregation reciting the creed. Omission of the word "men" is
felt to be in harmony with the notion of limited atonement, as
opposed to that of universal atonement seen as implicit in the phrase when
translated with the word "men" (understood in the inclusive sense of
this word).
The 1988 ecumenical version also renders
"ἐνανθρωπήσαντα" (for which the usual and more literal translation is
"was made man" or "became man") as "became truly
human", avoiding again the word "man".

For other meanings, see Rapture (disambiguation).In
Christian
eschatology,
the Rapture is a reference to "being caught up" referred to in
1 Thess 4:17,
when, in the End Times, the Christians
of the world will be gathered together in the air to meet Jesus
Christ. Rapture is used in at least two senses, in the
sense of pre-tribulation
views in which a group of people will be "left behind" and as a
synonym for the Resurrection
generally There are many views among Christians regarding the timing of Christ's return
(including whether it will occur in one event or two), and various views
regarding the destination of the aerial gathering described in 1 Thessalonians
4. Some denominations, such as Catholics (as described in the Catechism of the
Catholic Church 676 and 677) and Orthodox, do not accept the doctrine at all,
but affirm the resurrection as the catching away. It was largely developed by
Americans from the 17th century to the present, with certain Roman Catholics
fostering before, as described in the Doctrinal History section below.

"Second Coming" redirects
here. For other uses, see Second Coming (disambiguation).The
Second Coming of Christ, the Second Advent, or the Parousia,
is the anticipated return of Jesus
from Heaven
to Earth.
This prophecy is found in the canonical
gospels and is part of most Christian eschatologies.
Christians generally believe the anticipated event is predicted in Biblical Messianic prophecy.
Views about the nature of Jesus' Second Coming vary among Christian denominations
and sometimes among individual Christians within these denominations. For
example, in most English
versions of the Nicene Creed in current use is the phrase:
"He [Jesus (He is us)] will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead, and his
kingdom will have no end. ... We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen."

(Redirected from World to come)
World to Come
is a religious eschatological phrase
reflecting the belief that the "current world" is flawed or cursed
and will be replaced in the future by a better world. The concept is similar to
the concept of Heaven,
but Heaven is another place outside of the world.

For other uses, see Dispensation
(disambiguation).
In Christianity, the dispensation
(or administration) of the fulness of times is thought to be a world order
or administration in which the heavens and the earth are under the political and/or
spiritual government of Jesus. The phrase is derived from a passage in Ephesians 1:10 (KJV), which reads: "That in the dispensation of the fulness of times
he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven,
and which are on earth; even in him."
The term "fulness of times" was
designated as a specific period of time by a variety of theologians and pastors
in the 19th century and early 20th century. Jonathan
Edwards equated the term with the eternal state. Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916) considered the fulness of times to
consist of the millennial age as well as the "ages to come".
George Soltau, a dispensationalist, placed the "dispensation of the fulness of
times" after the millennial age.
John Nelson Darby held a formidable body of doctrine on the subject of
the biblical significance of the dispensation of the fulness of times. Darby's
literal translation of Ephesians 1:10 is: "Having made known unto us the mystery
of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself
for the administration of the fulness of times, [namely] to head up all things
in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on earth, in Him in whom also we
have an inheritance," (from Darby Bible).
According to some postmillennialists,
the dispensation of the fullness of times is thought to take place prior
to the Second Coming of Jesus. For example, in the Latter Day Saint
movement, the dispensation of the
fulness of times is often interpreted as the era after which the Church
of Christ is said to have been
restored to the earth by the religion's founder Joseph Smith, Jr.
beginning in the 1820s. In this sense,
the "dispensation" refers to the administration of truth and/or priesthood by the Church and its leaders, guided by revelation.

For other uses, see Son of man
(disambiguation).
The phrase 'son of man' is a primarily
Semitic idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to
denote humanity or self. The phrase is also used in Judaism and Christianity. The
phrase used in the Greek, translated as Son of man is ὁ υἱὸς τοὺ ἀνθρώπου.
As an idiom for the future human, it can be translated gender-neutrally as
offspring of Mankind, or Man's child.

Substance:
the creator of all life /seed / semen (Hebrews10:34 “KJV” a greater and more enduring substance)
The original
Greek version of the New Testament (Novum Testamentum
Graece) uses the term
parousia (παρουσία from the Greek literal meaning of parousia: divine presence,
derived from "para": beside, beyond, and "ousia": substance) the
"appearance and subsequent presence with" (in the ancient world
referring to official visits by royalty or God).
The Second Coming is also referred to as the Second
Advent, from the Latin term "adventus",
for "Coming"
(Come-ing). The study of biblical last days comprise a body of theological
knowledge called Christian eschatology.
Matter is a
term that traditionally refers to the substance (semen) that all life is made of, though
Aristotelian hylomorphism holds that matter is not necessarily a material
category. The common way to identify this "substance" is through its physical properties;
a common definition of matter is anything that has mass and occupies a volume.
However, this definition has to be revised in light of quantum mechanics, where
the concept of "having mass" and "occupying space" are not
as well-defined as in everyday life. A more general view is that bodies are
made of several substances
, and the properties of matter (including mass and volume) are determined not
only by the substances themselves, but by how they interact. In other words,
matter is made up of interacting "building blocks"(His/his semen the creator of all
life), the so-called particulate theory of matter.

In societies, it’s revered because it is believed to be magical. It is
also widely believed to be of supernatural origin and is, as a result,
considered sacred. Semen is currently and has long been revered by traditions as
a very important constituent of human physiology. (Ref. wikipedia)
