The world has become a village. The history of prophecy no longer takes place directly around the Mediterranean Sea. By Kai Mester

Reading time: 20 minutes

The image from the dream of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, is familiar to every beginner in the study of prophecy, so familiar that it is difficult to look at it afresh. Because many already know it inside and out.

Studying together with a few young people opened my eyes to completely new questions. Here's just a brainstorm:
What does the Bible say about the form of government of the great empires? In how many kingdoms do we live? When does the kingdom of God begin? How did the split of the last world empire come about? What does the sound in the statue's feet mean? What is the meaning of sound in the Bible anyway? What does the creation of empires have to do with God's creation? Where does the Messiah appear by name in Nebuchadnezzar's dream? Did Rome actually mix with pure clay? Are violence and faith compatible? What is the church doing in politics?

FRIEDRICH RATHGEN: THE FATHER OF MODERN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION

Mark Gilberg

ABSTRACT—A brief biography of Friedrich Rathgen (1862–1942), the first Director of the Chemical Laboratory of the Royal Museums of Berlin, is presented.

Giuseppe Verdi’s third opera was his break-out work. By the end of the gestation of NABUCCO the 29-year-old had found his musical style, one that audiences latched onto immediately. It was first and foremost the sheer impact of the chorus scenes and the daringly loud orchestral movements that announced a new chapter in the history of opera. NABUCCO was the first opera to make the chorus one of the main protagonists and the material was ideal for this, with the liberation of the Israelites from Babylonian captivity providing ample occasion for crowd scenes conveying the yearnings and stirrings of an oppressed people. And to top it all, it was not an aria but the “Va, pensiero” Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves, sung by the Jewish deportees on the banks of the Euphrates, that became the best known number in the opera – and the most famous Verdi tune of all.

Aside from this NABUCCO reveals Verdi’s feel for situations that lend themselves to being staged and his predilection for eccentric characters. NABUCCO is namely not simply a
