He was eventually defeated and killed by the Imperial Guard, a team formed for the purpose of stopping Rook'shir, which later became the first line of defense of the Shi'ar Empire.

Giraud, the 9th Phoenix.In the 31st century in the comics series, ordinary human Giraud of New Haven becomes host to the Phoenix Force. As Phoenix, Giraud is a rarity for a Phoenix host; since he is an ordinary human with no active magic or psionic abilities — only those powers granted him directly by the Phoenix Force.

Earth X Though the origins and history of Phoenix of Earth-9997 match that of her Earth-616 counterpart, the following information has been revealed by both 3-D Man (Kyle Richmond) and the Watchman (X-51): The Phoenix Force was originally a citizen of the first universe that existed prior to the Big Bang that created the current universe in which Earth-9997 resides. This original universe collapsed due to the manipulations and reproduction of the Celestial race. There were a number of survivors who were referred to as 'The Elders of the Universe', the Phoenix Force being one of these elders.
It was later revealed that the Elders plotted to reunify the fragmented universe (and all its parallel universe and alternate history counterparts) through the Realm of the Dead and with the aid of Death. The Phoenix Force was a part of this plot to reverse the damage the Celestials had already created. It was foreseen that eventually Death would be destroyed and that an Elder of the Universe would have to live in the Realm of the Dead in order to facilitate the collection of souls, which was at least one important step in reunifying the broken universe. As the Elders were all nearly immortal and could not die, the Phoenix Force had to bond itself to a being that would be capable of sacrificing itself for others.
This being was Jean Grey of the X-Men, who during a mission in space was the lone pilot of a space shuttle traveling through a radiation storm while her comrades were in a shielded room. Unable to bond with the severely burned body of Jean Grey, it became a binary being with her, assuming her identity, personality and physical form and sealing her charred body in a cocoon to heal. When the shuttle crashed the cocoon remained at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, and the Phoenix Force took Jean's place.
Eventually the Phoenix sacrificed her life and the real Jean Grey returned. The Phoenix ended up in Death's realm, still in the guise of Jean Grey, and was one of the few beings in this realm that were aware that they were indeed dead (Citizens in the Realm of the Dead believe that they and those are around them are still alive, while others who are not present are deceased).
She eventually joined up with Mar-Vel's army to battle Death and her army. During this time, Scott Summers (new Mr. S, leader of the X-Men, who was assisting Mar-Vel in the land of the living) was able to establish a mental rapport with the Phoenix and kept him informed as to the goings on in the Realm of the Dead and (later) Mar-Vel's Paradise. This soon became a great aid to Reed Richards and others who were trying to determine why the mortally wounded would no longer die following Death's death. After the creation of Mar-Vel's Paradise, Phoenix became one of the Avenging Host, a group of former champions who were transmogrified by technology once belonging to the High Evolutionary. They were to act as guardian angels to those in Paradise and help those in the Realm of the Dead realize that they were indeed dead so that they could travel over to Paradise and live out their perfect afterlife. During her time as one of the Avenging Host, its members began to doubt Mar-Vel's intentions, believing that he was no aware that he had no idea what occurred outside Paradise, that as it grew it threatened to consume the Negative Zone.
Their doubts in Mar-Vel's quest were further strengthened when they began to realize that no new dead were appearing in Death's former realm. Phoenix would relay this information to Scott Summers, prompting the heroes of Earth-9997 to seek out Jude, the Entropic Man to become the new death. When Cap, 3-D Man, Comet Man, Benny Becksley and Thanos learned that each 'Paradise' created for the realms citizens were simply wish fulfillment, the Avenging Host aided in freeing each citizen from their private 'heaven' and resolved to confront Mar-Vel about his intentions. The host (and Rick Jones) were all summoned and put on trial by Mar-Vel. Confronted by Mar-Vel with Captain America, Phoenix and the rest of the host were killed by their leader when Cap refused to take Mar-Vel's power. Shortly after their death, the Kree army invaded Paradise and a large battle erupted. During the combat, Reed Richards arrived from the Negative Zone and confronted Mar-Vel himself.
During their talk, Mar-Vel resurrected the Avenging Host to aid the citizens of Paradise defeat the Kree invaders. After the battles conclusion, Reed Richards being given the cosmic consciousness and Mar-Vel leaving Paradise, Phoenix's current whereabouts are unknown. It is presumable that she remains in Paradise guarding those who have chosen to remain in this realm. Legacy of Fire In a reality similar to the, the Phoenix Force is not just an entity, but a weapon.
The Phoenix Sword as it was called was guarded and wielded by the Madelyne Pyre, who inherited the sword from her mother. When Madelyne's time as wielder of the sword was nearly up, she trained little sister Jena in the arts of fighting.

After her release, she later thought she had contacted a celestial God-entity which destroyed worlds. As a result, the believed that it would be in their best interests to summon the Phoenix and merge it with Jean Grey via a ritual.
With Jean acting as the Phoenix Force's human avatar, she would be worshipped in a greater world. While the ritual was successful, the Phoenix had different plans and promptly slew the Hellfire Club. In the Ultimate X-Men: Hellfire and Brimstone arc, the Phoenix Force makes its first appearance as the entity/personality within Jean's body.
Subsequently, Jean managed to gain some control over Phoenix, though not without using dangerous amounts of its power and causing extreme destruction. In the process, she telekinetically lifted a mass of land and atomized it, destroyed a helicopter and ten men within, created a giant Phoenix Raptor, and subdued a woman named. Charles Xavier was confronted by, the leader of a religious group known as the, who worship a God known as the Phoenix. Lilandra claims that the Phoenix God is the force that created life itself, first creating the stars, planets, as well as everything else in the universe. Many millennia later, the Phoenix created life-forms on those planets and watched them grow and prosper. However, as time went by, the civilizations grew more advanced and sophisticated, and soon became jealous of the Phoenix.
They wanted its raw, unimaginable, and limitless power for themselves. Soon after, the inhabitants of the planets waged war upon the Phoenix, trying to control it, as well as its power. They amassed a great army, bringing together a hundred civilizations. But the Phoenix fought strongly for thousands of years until the life-forms found a way to imprison it since it could not be killed. But as conventional methods could not imprison it, they created a vortex to suck in the asteroids and planets around it, creating a spherical cage, but at a cost—the Phoenix would be trapped in it forever. As the millennia went by, the Phoenix Force's cage began to evolve; oceans formed, mountains rose, plants grew and life-forms began to sprout upon it. Soon those life-forms evolved into humans and the cage in which the Phoenix resided became known as Earth.
The Shi'Ar Church believed that the Phoenix was the very core of the planet. As a result of their meeting, Lilandra asks for permission to study Jean Grey to determine whether or not she truly is the embodiment of the Phoenix Force. During the examination, the Phoenix entity apparently asserts itself in an evil form but is seemingly suppressed by Professor Xavier's more experienced psychic powers and his emotional outreach to Jean Grey's normal personality. After the suppression of what seems to be the Phoenix Force, Lilandra and Charles are informed by Gerald, Lilandra's assistant, that Jean's test has proven to be negative. Gerald also reveals that Jean Grey's parents have a connection to the Shi'Ar Church and postulates that Jean's subconscious has manifested a false Phoenix persona after being subjected to Phoenix Force stories in her youth. Feeling that she has lost her mind, Jean slips into a depressed state and begins seeing green creatures latched on to her body. However, it is then revealed to the reader that Jean has actually tested positive as the carrier of the Phoenix Force and Gerald has covered it up under orders from his actual superiors: the Hellfire Club.
Jean soon learned to control the powers of the Phoenix more and more. When Apocalypse prepared to kill Xavier, Jean accepts the Phoenix, creating a humanoid fiery entity whose power was able to bring down the ancient being.

X-Men: No More Humans When Raze - the future son of Wolverine and Mystique, now trapped in the present - attempted to force the X-Men to accept his new 'status quo' by teleporting all humans off Earth and summoning other mutants from worlds where they were being oppressed, one of the mutants he summoned to be a member of his new Brotherhood was a Jean Grey who was still in her 'Dark Phoenix' state, barely under the control of her world's Mastermind. However, when she confronted the temporally-displaced Jean Grey, the younger Jean was able to appeal to her Dark Phoenix self to help them undo Raze's actions and save the displaced humans while also creating a new Earth in a pocket dimension for the refugee mutants. The Phoenix has been the subject of on a number of occasions. The timeline shown in What If?

How Strong Is Apocalypse
Phoenix refused Magneto's offer to restore her powers, not wanting to become a monster again, but eventually regained her powers during an encounter with Mastermind. In a fit of despair Phoenix then killed the real Jean Grey, who was still lying in stasis at the bottom of the sea. When the rest of the X-Men discovered that 'Jean' had become the Phoenix again she left them to be alone, but returned to save them from an attack by the Sentinels. Scott and Phoenix reconciled, but Destiny told Phoenix that she only saw death in her future if she tried to remain among mortals and so the Phoenix left the Earth to wander the universe alone. The timeline shown in What If? 2 #79 diverged from the main reality on the fateful day when the X-Men's shuttle passed through cosmic radiation during re-entry to Earth.
Jean Grey had been knocked out and could no longer pilot anymore. So it was who volunteered to steer the capsule with her elemental powers.

Storm seemingly survived and emerged from the wreckage as Stormphoenix, now displaying absolute control over all aspects of the weather.She erected a benevolent dictatorship on Earth, drawing young mutants to her side and freezing the super-beings who opposed her in the atmosphere. As she grew more cruel and detached from humanity, the remaining heroes—as well as her acolyte, Kitty, and her mentor, Ahadi—hatched a plan to get rid of her.
They examined the space capsule and found the real Storm, who had been placed in a healing cocoon and submerged in the Hudson Bay. Kitty took over her body and they confronted Stormphoenix as the fake she was. Shocked back to its senses, the Phoenix left Earth, but the real Storm died in the process.

Only Rachel and Havok survive, because they escape through a teleportation portal that mysteriously appears next to them. They are not sure who or what caused a stargate to seemingly open. Then Vulcan destroys 1/3 of the along with himself.
Nova pleads to to escape. However, like he did to the Shi'Ar Empire, Vulcan destroys the Empire. The comment, that the Phoenix 'consumed' a galaxy, it was the 7th galaxy to fall. Rachel and Havok arrived at Earth and with Cyclops and engage Vulcan. The match takes place in the island that was torn to pieces, however, apparently wielding the Phoenix Force holds no limits to what it can do as Krakoa is now alive and intact. However, as the battle erupts Vulcan begins to lose control. Rachel warns Gabriel, that the Phoenix Force reacts poorly to negative emotions.
The consequences of losing total control will not only consume himself but the entire reality. Finally letting go of the rage and hate he holds, he proceeds to halt his rampage, and accept his death.

The entire saga of the Phoenix is retold and adapted in the third season of the, subdivided into the five-part 'Phoenix Saga', in which Jean acquires the power of the Phoenix and the battle for the M'Kraan Crystal occurs, and the 'Dark Phoenix Saga', showcasing the battle with the Hellfire Club, the Phoenix Force's transformation into Dark Phoenix, and the battle to decide her fate.
These particular episodes are as close as the cartoon came to directly duplicating the comic book storylines — the 'Dark Phoenix Saga' is so accurate to the original stories that the episodes have the additional credit, 'Based on stories by Chris Claremont'. Notably, however, as the Phoenix Force retcon had occurred before the creation of the series, the episodes were made with this change in mind — rather than having Jean develop her powers independently (as was the original intent of the comics), or be replaced by the cosmic Phoenix Force entity (as events were later retconned), the two concepts were merged, into Jean's actual body being possessed by the Phoenix Force, leading to a true struggle between two independent entities. Jean is shown piloting a shuttle, and when her telekenetic shield fails Phoenix enters her body.
Rather than destroying an inhabited system — which was the cause for the decision to kill off the character in the comics — the animated story had her destroy a deserted system and only disable the attacking Shi'Ar cruiser. These changes made it possible for aspects of the original ending of Uncanny X-Men #137, in which Jean survives, to be used. Jean does still commit suicide (taking control of the Shi'Ar's laser beam to fire on herself, rather than finding an ancient weapon), but with her death, the Phoenix Force is purified, and then uses its powers to resurrect Jean, drawing on the combined life-force of the assembled X-Men to bring her back to life. Jean retained her original basic powers, whereas in the aborted comic book ending, she would have been lobotomized by the Shi'Ar and lost them entirely. She was voiced by, and Dark Phoenix is voiced.

In the third X-Men movie, Jean, having survived her supposed death, 'becomes' Dark Phoenix. Jean is the only known. At a young age, Xavier used his mutant psionic powers to build several psychic barriers in her mind to isolate most of her powers from her conscious mind as her mutation was seeded in the unconscious part of her mind and as such, she did not have full control of her near-infinite abilities. This caused a split in Jean's psyche—between Jean Grey, whose limited powers were always in her control, and the dual personality of her dormant side that called itself the 'Phoenix', a purely instinctual, powerful creature, with little to no regard toward anyone that Jean cares about, even Scott. During the movie, with the psychic barriers removed by everything Jean had gone through in the previous films, Phoenix is eventually able to gain dominance over Jean. First, Phoenix kills Scott (off-screen).
Then Phoenix destroys Xavier and joins Magneto. Finally, near the film's end, Jean/Phoenix abstains from the battle on until military reinforcements show up and try to shoot Jean; Phoenix enraged gains full control and in its fury demolishes the island, ripping it, everything within range on it and the seawater around it apart on the molecular level, the power of the rampage threatening to bring great destruction., facing it alone, calls out to Jean, but there is only Phoenix and it shows contempt for his actions.
As he climbs his way up to it, much of his flesh is repeatedly and painfully peeled from his covered bones, his healing factor being the only thing keeping him alive. When he reaches Phoenix, it asks Logan if he would die for the rest of humanity, to which he tells it and Jean that he would only die for her. His heartfelt words pull Jean to the fore; unable to stop Phoenix, she tells him to save her. Left with no other choice, after saying that he loves her, he stabs Jean with his claws, killing her and ending the destruction. Jean's tombstone lies on the ground, beside the markers of Scott and Xavier. Jean Grey appears in, portrayed. Jean is one of the most ostracized of Xavier's students because she struggles to control her powers as exhibited when she suffers a premonitic nightmare, shaking the school and causing Xavier strain as he tries to wake and calm her.
In the film's climax during the X-Men's battle against Apocalypse, Xavier tells Apocalypse in their astral battle ground that he is not the most powerful psychic and after bringing Jean there, he convinces her to unleash the full extent of her powers. She shatters Apocalypse's astral projection, before disintegrating his physical body and finally destroying him, her body surrounded by a -shaped aura.
Sophie Turner reprised her role in, which adapts The Dark Phoenix Saga, where she loses control of her abilities and unleashes the Phoenix. While the original trilogy stated that the Phoenix was 'just' Jean's darker personality traits, here Jean has some difficulties but has generally suppressed them since her childhood. When the X-Men go up to rescue the shuttle Endeavour from an apparent solar flare, Jean is left behind in the shuttle when the 'solar flare' strikes it, only for her body to absorb the energy. Jean is later contacted by Vuk, a representative of the D'Bari, who claims that her world was destroyed by the 'solar flare' that struck Jean, Vuk explaining that the 'flare' is actually a fragment of the energy of the Big Bang, although only Jean has been able to contain it. Vuk attempts to encourage Jean to tap the power of the Phoenix Force, allegedly to move beyond old 'standards', but really intending to absorb the Phoenix Force herself so that she can remake Earth for her people.

I have so enjoyed Matt’s weekly postings of that I’ve jumped at the opportunity to continue the series during his absence. This week’s hymn, another of the, is often sung in the days leading up to Advent. At first glance it might seems strange to celebrate the second coming of Christ in conjunction with His first coming, however, the practice of so doing provides the balance needed to keep the Advent (and Christmas) themes of Divine love and light from devolving into mere sentimentality.
Remembering the first coming of Christ in light of the end of all things ought to remind us how desperately we need a savior—and how immense and earth-shattering is the good news that God is just and merciful.The present text of the hymn has undergone a few redactions since first being penned by John Cennick, a land surveyor turned preacher and Moravian evangelist. Cennick was an acquaintance of the Wesley brothers and this quite probably accounts for Charles Wesley’s knowledge of the hymn.
The most common version of the text is Wesley’s and it is the version followed below. However, the is interesting as it brings to light Wesley’s mastery of English and Scripture as he expounds upon and clarifies the nascent themes in Cennick’s version.Lo!
He comes with clouds descending,Once for favored sinners slain;Thousand thousand saints attending,Swell the triumph of His train:Hallelujah! Greetings from Wordwise Hymns. I appreciated your comment that a second coming hymn is most appropriate at Christmas time to avoid a merely sentimental approach to the latter. It is easy enough to rhapsodize over a newborn baby, but this One was (and is) the incarnate Lord of glory.
It is interesting the number of times the Bible juxtaposes the first and second comings of Christ in the same context. Here are a few examples–though I’m sure there are others (I Thess. 1:10; 4:14; Tit.
2:13-14; Heb. 1:7).We have a wooden cross at the front of our sanctuary. And for our Christmas service this year I hung a Christmas wreath on one arm of the cross, and a golden crown on the other.
The service then followed the threefold theme–Christ incarnate, crucified, and coming again to reign. God bless.Pingback:.
