Peripeteia Defined
Peripeteia comes from Greek, in which the verb peripiptein means "to fall around" or "to change suddenly." It usually indicates a turning point in a drama after which the plot moves steadily to its denouement. In his Poetics, Aristotle describes peripeteia as the shift of the tragic protagonist's fortune from good to bad-a shift that is essential to the plot of a tragedy. The term is also occasionally used of a similar change in actual affairs. For example, in a 2006 article in The New York Times, Michael Cooper described William Weld's second term as Massachusetts' governor as "political peripeteia": it "began with a landslide victory and ended with frustrated hopes and his resignation."
The bible is filled with many "peripetia" moments, which simply means "plot twists or reversals, an abrupt turn of events or reversal of circumstances."
In this sermon series we are discussing "Great Reversals" in the bible, as we see how the Lord can take a plot and turn it on a dime. When the moment seems to be insurmountable and impossible, the Lord opens the door, before kicking it down, taking a moment of jeopardy, turning into a moment of joy.
In the story of "Daniel and the Lions Den" we see him being watched by those that despise him, even to the point of setting him up, hoping that he might be destroyed by the lions, but the Lord steps in and saves his loyal servant. I don't know about you, but my God is the God of "Great Reversals!!!"
