Guilty for having brought the nation to war. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore-and-six. Thus the beast represents the kingdoms that will bear rule over the world from Adam until the second coming of Christ. While in the spirit, this beast is seen as a personality as in Revelation , in the physical he is represented at different ages throughout the period of human existence as different kingdoms.

I just wanted to tell you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!! I will be looking forward to your reply. Thank you Thank you Thank you! Thanks again! Love, Adriana P. Thank you for stopping by to leave a comment. Too many people try to use too many fancy words and it just makes their message more difficult to understand.
When you write and when you speak, it is good to use a big word from time to time; however, for the most part, stick to the simple words.
As Winston Churchill said, short words are the best words. Best of luck with your studies. Thanks so much for your reply! Hi Adriana, Lo siento. No hablo muy bien espagnol. Congratulations on your report. Best regards, John Zimmer. God Bless you and your family! Thank you so much for this detailed analysis! I admire how you extracted effective public speaking techniques from the interpreptations of the words in this famous speech. My english assignment seemed like a piece of cake after reading this!
Thank you very much for the kind words about the post, Noor. I am glad that you found it helpful. Best of luck with the rest of your English, and other classes.
Atakelemu al arabiya. John I agree with all the complements people had given you. I have a quick question, do you think the thesis of this speech is the first sentence? Thank you. Dear Savi, Thank you for the comment and the kind words.
You pose an interesting question. Because the speech is so short, every sentence has great significance. In the first sentence, Lincoln reminds the audience of the principles on which the United States was founded. What an interesting analysis on the Gettysburg Address! You seem to have taken heed to some unique points, such as the contrasting.
Similar to one of your reviewers, I was looking for a new way to view this address for an English assignment, as I was definitely looking at in black and white. Hopefully I can build off of your interpretation and further admire the Gettysburg Address. Dear Annie, Thank you for the kind comment.
I am glad that you found the post useful. I have no doubt that you and others can find more that it good about the Gettysburg Address. All the best, John. Dear John, Thank you so much for this detailed information.
It really helped on my English assignment. Dear Nallely, Thank you for the comment. I am glad that the post helped you with your assignment. All the best for the rest of the school year. Thanks very much for the comment and also for referencing my post on your blog. Thank you also for introducing me to the cyclorama.
I had not heard of it before and I watched a video of it on YouTube. Truly impressive! Dear John, I just wanted to thank you for your speaking points and thoughts. Curiously enough, I am a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles, California. While I have employed several of the tactics and forces that you discuss in your article, I have never seen them explained so well. Whether to a jury, judge, or prosecutor; I try to employ the methodology you describe and highlight with your eyesight.
In any case, thank you for your concise evaluation of a pretty special speech. Yours, Andy. Andy, I very much appreciate your comments as I too am a lawyer. When I was practicing law in Canada, I found that judges appreciated eloquence but not verbosity, passion but not theatrics. And they especially liked it when barristers could cut through reams of evidence and present a simple, cogent argument on the key points.
They also liked it when lawyers had a bit of a sense of humour and would show their humanity. The best presentation skills, in my view, are still the ones that have been handed down through the centuries. Thanks again and good luck with your cases. Hi sir. I have my oration presentation in my english class, can i use gettysburg address?
If so, how can i perform it? I mean. Is there a body gestures or action? Or just simply standing while reciting? Thanks ahead. Dear Padate, Thank you for the questions. Assuming that for your oration presentation you can use a famous speech as opposed to one that you write yourself I see know reason why you cannot use the Gettysburg Address. It is one of the most famous speeches in the English language. Be aware, however, that it is relatively short. As for gesturing, my recommendation is to use gestures that feel natural to you.
The speech is a very solemn one, so you do not want to overdo it; however, a well-time gesture, for example, with your hand or arms to emphasize a key point would be effective. More than gestures, however, it is your voice that will be most important for this speech. Speak in a measured rhythm and do not rush the speech. Hope this is helpful. Best of luck with it! Thanks, for the question. Thank you very much!! Could you please help me, my professor asked me to write paper about the speech that I have to write three or four reasons about why this speech is great?
With evidence from speech. Dear Abu Khalid, Unfortunately, I cannot write the paper for you. You will have to think about the speech and come up with the reasons on your own. You already have the post that I wrote. I recommend that you also Google other blogs that have analyzed the Gettysburg Address. Good luck. I really appreciate your comment! However, I did not mean write instead of me, just help me with ideas, but I saw the link that you sent it and I wrote paper could I send it to your emil and give me your advice and tell me if I have wrong ideas?
Thank you so much! I appreciate your confidence in me, but I have to decline. I am extremely busy at the moment, but more fundamentally, it would not be appropriate for me to direct you in your schoolwork without knowing the curriculum or the focus of your teacher. I suggest that you ask your teacher to look at your draft and give preliminary feedback. Alternatively, you could ask one of your classmates.
I wish you success with it. After going through your analysis,I have begun to appreciate this speech even more than before. I desperately need your help,sir. I am a student of ninth standard and am participating in an inter school elocution competition. I thought for going for this speech but wonder if it would be the right choice.
Also,I am confused so as to how to introduce myself to the audience because a regular introduction is a bore and common one. Please help me sir,i am very confused,the competition is on the day after tomorrow.
Dear Aditi, Thanks for the comment. I am glad that you enjoyed the post. Now, as for your contest, a few things: 1. Take a deep breath and relax. Keep the contest in perspective. Yes, it is exciting and nerve-wracking — I competed in a speech contest only yesterday, so I know how it feels. But you need to focus the nervous energy constructively and not let it overwhelm you. The Gettysburg Address is a perfect speech for two minutes.
Usually in a contest, you do not have to introduce yourself. The Contest Chair does that. He or she should call you to the stage when it is your turn. Warm up before you speak. Find a quiet place and stretch your arms and neck and shoulders.
Swing your arms to get the blood flowing. Practice your voice. Drink only warm liquids or room temperature liquids. No fizzy drinks. Speak slowly and with conviction. Put some emotion into it. Remember how important this speech was and why Lincoln gave it. It is your job to share it with the audience.
Pause after key sentences in the speech. Smile when you are done. I hope that these tips help. Good luck with it and have fun. It is a privilege to be able to share a message with an audience. An idea. Sorry, the cap lock was on. Thanks for sharing it. Aditi, you said you only had two minutes to recite the speech and the Gettysburg Address should take about that much time. You have helped me very much.
I am very grateful to you as well,Andy for you cared to help me. Still quite nervous and hope I do well. Anyway,thanks a lot. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Opinion was generally divided along political lines, with Republican journalists praising the speech as a heartfelt, classic piece of oratory and Democratic ones deriding it as inadequate and inappropriate for the momentous occasion.
In the years to come, the Gettysburg Address would endure as arguably the most-quoted, most-memorized piece of oratory in American history. The world at once noted what he said, and will never cease to remember it.
