One thing missing from the logs, are the many acts of heroism that reflect the spirit of patriotism among nearly all who served the military during this period. Like many of the African Americans who joined the Navy, Miller was stationed in a position where he would never engage in a combat situation.

However, during the attack, Miller became more than just a cook. After retrieving his ship's mortally wounded captain, Miller manned a caliber Browning antiaircraft machine gun.

Publisher Description

Miller fired at the Japanese planes until he was ordered to abandon ship. The inexperienced Miller shot down between four and six Japanese planes. For his efforts, Miller was awarded the Navy Cross, becoming the first African American to receive that citation. Chester W. Nimitz, the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet, personally presented the award to him. Received the following provisions for the general mess inspected as to quantity and quality by Ensign W.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was one of those rare galvanizing events that united the nation behind a single cause. Such an episode was not to be repeated in American history until the terrorist attacks of September 11, Through these entries drawn from deck logs—created as routine administrative documents—modern readers can get a sense of the shock, surprise, and confusion felt by the soldiers and sailors who experienced this pivotal moment in American history firsthand.

Top Skip to main content. Franklin Roosevelt Library. Daniel states that the starting point was to be a going forth of a "word" Hebrew abar to restore Jerusalem. Before looking for specific decrees and the actual rebuilding, we should ask a few questions about the term "word.

The decree. The reason why the term comes up is because an effort has been made by some historical-critical scholars to equate this "word" in Daniel with the "word of the Lord to Jeremiah" to which Daniel referred in verse 2 of this chapter. Jerusalem was to be restored at the end of that period of time.

Because the message that came to Jeremiah was termed a "word" and the same Hebrew term was used in Daniel , should they be equated? This type of interpretation overlooks the fact that the term for "word" is used again twice in Daniel If one is to look for linguistic connections, here in verse 23 is a far more reasonable one to use than the reference in verse 2 to the time of Jeremiah.

But even here there is a difference between the "word" of Gabriel's introduction and the "word" in the prophecy itself. In the first part of verse 23, Gabriel told Daniel that a word had gone forth yasa' , obviously from God who sent the message to Daniel. The fact that the perfect form of the verb is used indicates that the word had already gone forth, and having gone forth it had reached Gabriel who was now going to give it to Daniel. The reference is to a past action or communication which Daniel is now to understand.

But the word which Daniel is to understand is not the decree for the rebuilding of Jerusalem. It is the entire prophecy, which follows which constitutes that "word.

A Social History of Modern Art, Volume 1

That word is a description of future events. And one of those future events is the going forth of the "word" or decree to rebuild Jerusalem. Thus the "word" of verse 25 is neither the word of the Lord to Jeremiah in verse 2 nor the word of the Lord through Gabriel to Daniel in verse It is something to be fulfilled in the future.

For corroboration we note that the term for "going forth" Hebrew mosa' that is used in verse 25 is neither the term that is used for the word in verse 2 Hebrew hayah nor the verb used in verse 23 Hebrew yasa'. The king of the decree. The next point that should be noted here is just what it was that the prophecy foretold was to be rebuilt. The verse in question uses the specific name of the city, Jerusalem.

There can be no question, therefore, that we must look to the circumstances under which that city was rebuilt. The specific mentioning of the name "Jerusalem" helps avoid confusion with the rebuilding of the temple within Jerusalem. A city is not a temple and a temple is not a city, though a city may contain a temple or be located near one. This distinction is important because the decree of Cyrus in Ezra specifically mentions authorization for the rebuilding of the temple but does not mention the city. In response to that decree, and a supplementary decree by Darius I, the temple was rebuilt Ezra ; but even after its reconstruction the city still lay in ruins, and this was the condition in which Nehemiah found it in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes I, some 70 years later.

The temple was completed in the sixth year of Darius I, B. We must now attempt to discover the decree that had the effect of leading to the rebuilding of the city. It was not the decree of Cyrus in Ezra 1; nor was it the decree of Darius in Ezra 6, which was in actuality an authorization to carry out the stipulations of the original decree of Cyrus. Both of these decrees dealt with the temple and both of them were brought to their final consummation when the temple was finished. We must look beyond the rebuilding of the temple for the next major building project in Jerusalem.

There actually were two decrees, or a decree and an authorization, that were involved in this later event, much like the previous two decrees focused on the temple. This new pair of official rulings is found in Ezra 7 and Nehemiah 2. The circumstances and contents of these decrees require close examination in our quest for the starting point of Daniel's time prophecy.

The nature of the decree. The decree given to Ezra is recorded in Ezra as an official decree of Artaxerxes.

It is quoted in the text as a copy of the decree in the original Aramaic language. Because the decree of Darius in Ezra 6 actually contains a reiteration of the antecedent decree of Cyrus, the decree of Artaxerxes is longer than that of Darius. The decrees get longer as one goes through the book.

The decree of Cyrus in chapter 1 is the shortest, the decree of Darius in chapter 6 is of medium length, and the decree of Artaxerxes in chapter 7 is the longest and should, therefore, be accorded some measure of importance. Contributing to that importance is the wide-ranging authority it accorded to Ezra in this decree. By this decree he was not only given privileges to pay for and offer sacrifices in the temple in Jerusalem, but he was also given power to appoint magistrates and judges in the province of Beyond the River.

The province of Beyond the River included more than Judea. It included all of Syria that was located west and south of the Upper Euphrates River. Thus by this decree Ezra was given authority not over the Jews only, but also over the persons and territory outside of Judea Ezra He was given permission to draw upon the treasury of that province up to the amount of talents of silver see Ezra , Included among Ezra's responsibilities under this decree of Artaxerxes was the authorization to teach the law of his God to Jews and non-Jews alike in this same extended territory.

For anyone who would not obey his teachings in these matters he was authorized to execute punishment up to the death penalty see Ezra , His authority over non-Jews is probably the most remarkable feature of the decree. The extent and importance of Ezra's position should be noted carefully in order to understand the nature of his action that followed upon his arrival at Jerusalem.
