Carey presents an introduction to the elements of apocalyptic discourse in the Hebrew Bible, the intertestamental texts of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and the Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts. He seeks to help modern readers perplexed by the rampant and somewhat outrageous depiction and interpretation of apocalyptic literature to see apocalyptic discourse as a flexible set of resources that early Jews and Christians could employ for a variety of persuasive tasks. Carey examines each of the literary works that exhibit apocalyptic discourse. He briefly introduces the date and language of each text and shows its basic contents. Then he examines the particular topics and purposes of the work. Carey concludes by showing a way to read the particular example of apocalyptic discourse as a whole in its own setting with its own purposes. Carey invokes discourse as a category of study in an attempt to bring together the literary, ideological, and social dimensions of apocalyptic language. He sees the genius of apocalyptic discourse in its ability to bring its audience into otherwise inaccessible mysteries concerning the future and the heavenly realms. As theology, apocalyptic discourse engages life's greatest questions-the nature of God, the desire for justice, and the frustrations of human finitude. As poetry, it expresses the theological imagination in vivid symbols and conventional literary forms.

Great ball!
Color: Blue
I have a LaRoo rechargeable as well and wanted to get a second one since occasionally my dog will take it outside without me knowing. I ordered this one since I wanted a blue one. I actually like this ball better since it’s rubber/silicone which bounces better (also soft on his mouth) and the removal for the switch and charging has easier access. Highly recommend if you have a fetch lover especially before bedtime. It has a single light mode as well as a flash mode and changes to multiple colors. 100% worth the purchase and will be recommending

Night time fetch
Color: Orange
I bought this product because i needed a light up ball that i can use at night to play fetch with my 50lb Portuguese water dog. Night time fetch is where its at!! Nobody around, and all focus on the bouncing disco ball that you 100% cannot lose, its that bright. Cheat code unlocked! It’s been about a month or so of regular nightly use, and this product is fantastic. It is very durable made of a tough rubber silicone type material. The light lasts longer than you need it and is super bright. It is approximately the weight of a lacrosse ball and fits a chuck it thrower/launcher perfectly. It can be thrown very far with no damage to the ball or light. Best 20$ i spent for my dog. Its his favorite toy.

Perfect Toy for Active Dogs
The disc's design makes it easy to throw and glide smoothly through the air, which my dog loves to chase and catch. It's also a great way to exercise him and keep him active and healthy. One of the standout features is that it floats, making it an excellent toy for beach and pool days. We've taken it to some summer parties, and it always grabs the attention of other dogs and their owners. It's a versatile toy that's perfect for training, playing fetch, and general interactive fun.
