The reasons of present time interlace with the reasons of things within and around us, at every moment. Moments, hours and days flow entangled in the river of time, swooping through the present within the waterfall of the future, on the path from Creation and towards Apocalypse and from Alpha towards Omega. A mind, as clean, clear and enlightened as possible, may, by sight and foresight, sense, under a flash of conscience of the all-presence of God and under an adoration of inner release into Spirit and Truth, the flaming pile of the moment, the fire hand of the clock or the fire pole of the day, commencing from within thyself, from thyself and in concentric circles, such as on a water crystal, passing all fences to the ones around us; pervading wall from the others around and reaching the milestones of the world seen and familiar.

The study presents the situation of the Reformed Church in Romania between 1940 and 1944 from the economical perspective. The pauperization of the Hungarian population of Romania was a state policy in that period. The Reformed Church, which from an ethnic perspective was almost entirely Hungarian, was no exception. The economical pressings, the unbearable tax burden deci-mated its financial resources, weakening its capacity of economical selfsustainment. The published article is the second part of a longer series. This one presents the effects of the tax burden andcompulsory war loans. The tax burden meant the artificial raise of local taxes, which had to be paid by the local Reformed parishes. The methods for tax calculation changed radically from one year to another, causing the Reformed congregations to become unable to pay their taxes in 1941. Warloans supposedly served to support the battles fought for “the reunification of the nation”. This war loan, which in fact meant the financing of a war against Northern Transylvania, was obviously rejected by the Hungarian population, but the government still forced the church and its ministers to propagate it among the believers.

Die Musik des Christentums wurzelt in den Traditionen der Jerusalemer Synagogen (Psalmen, Lobgebete, Bekenntnislieder).Das Christentum hat sich im Westen mit seiner Musiksprache,die seit dem Jahre 500 Gregorian genannt wird, sehr schnell verbreitet. Das Wort Gregorian ist die Übersetzung von dem lateinischen Kompositum cantus gregorianus. Dieser Gesangstil wurde im Mittelalter als cantus planus (einfaches Singen) be-zeichnet, um die Unterschiede zu dem mehrstimmigen und stark rhythmisierten Stil deutlich zu machen.

The Book of Habakkuk is well-known for using a very sophisticated language in terms of semantics, poetics, or rhetorical structure, causing tremendous difficulties to later interpreters, both ancient and modern. For this reason, from a diachronic perspective, textual deviations from the canonical Massoretic tradition could be mere relics of the perplexity of confused translators or scribes. This study argues, however, that there are cases where the independent, divergent textual traditions coalesce into a reading that could be considered a historically more reliable variant than the reading survived within the Massoretic Text. This appears to be the case with בגוים in Hab 1:5 and היין in Hab 2:5, for which three independent traditions presuppose a common pre-Massoretic ancient alternative reading.

I read Matt 23 as a text describing a ‘family conflict’. The speaker of the words in Matt 23 is Jesus, who is a Jew. The text was written by Matthew, a Jew, and the addressees of the text are Jews. This text focuses on Jewish religious authorities and those who suffered under the restrictions and formalities imposed by such leaders. There is no ethnic element in this text. It is not concerned with how one ethnic group−Jews−relates to another ethnic group—gentiles. The polemic is not about differences between two ethnic groups, but about religious behavior within a single ethnic group—Jews. The victims of religious formalism are Jews, not pagans. Every reading of Matt 23 that finds anti-Judaism in the text should be considered inadequate. Such readings fail to grasp the true meaning of the text. This text should be read and understood as a criticism of religious formalism. As such, it has relevance in every time and place, whenever and wherever religion fosters violence and becomes repressive to ordinary people. This text can be helpful in prompting self-criticism, which I consider important for every religious system.

Die Samuelbücher werden unter dem Aspekt analysiert, dass Macht sowohl reale Paranoia ist als auch die Fähigkeit, die Welt positiv zu verändern. Macht konzentriert sich in Ämtern wie Priester, Richter, Prophet, König und Heerführer, die von Gott verliehen werden, damit sie in rechter Weise gebraucht wird. Wegen ihrer positiven Aspekte einerseits und der negativen bei der Unterlassung andererseits, erscheint Machtausübung als notwendig. Trotzdem hat Macht eine destruktive Komponente, der verzweifelt gewehrt werden muss, aber schwer gewehrt werden kann. Machtmissbrauch hat zwar immer einen konkreten Anlass, seine Urgründe liegen jedoch im familiären Missbrauch, und eine besondere Gefahr liegt im Transfer von Macht in der Dynastie.

This research addresses the divine right of the concept of Human Rights, a topic widely debated in contemporary society. God, through the Law of Moses, offers to the man created according to His image a series of rights that come to valorise the dignity and freedom of the human being. Human Rights, through their status of revealed laws, can only be applicable in practice if they are integrated into their religious circuit of divine inspiration. The secularisation and relativisation of rights in today's society are leading to the impossibility of their application on a global scale - the rights of dominant influence groups on the capital market most often damage the dignity of the weaker. Now more than ever, it is necessary to overcome this vicious way of applying the right of the most powerful, by rediscovering our sources and returning to the roots; this is how, guided by God, the Jewish society succeeded in implementing human rights at an universal level, integrating them in terms of dignity, in the case of foreigners and slaves as well. The Right to promote Holiness - as the only guarantee of concrete applicability of rights, considering that the moral man, will never constrain his neighbour's freedom and dignity - is, in our opinion, the only way to establish a genuine norm. Without this visionary resurrection, we will witness the disappearance of Human Rights the way we know them nowadays.

Job 31: 13-15 refers to Job's attitude toward the right of his slaves. As an act of honor, stemming from the sense of honor and respect for created beings, Job accepted to go to court with his slaves when they accused him. In these verses, we can see how a master of slaves, clothed in the clothes of righteousness and fairness (Job 29:14), responds to their allegations with respect and, at the same time, obeys the sentence in the courtroom, even though it might be unfavorable.
