    Judaism Significant Person: Isaiah 20/20

    Isaiah’s contribution to the development and expression of Judaism was heavily influenced by the political and religious context of his time. In the midst of political and religious instability in Judah’s history, Isaiah, was a recognisable source of hope and guidance, and paved the way for the expression of modern Judaism. The evident political and religious instability, was to be vastly influenced by Isaiah’s works. Isaiah took an active role in the development and expression of Judaism in his time, through his influence in the guidance of the aristocracy, providing guidance even for the kings. “Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: Go and tell Hezekiah… ‘I have heard your prayers and seen your tears… I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria” (Isaiah 38:4-6) Isaiah, as the mediator between God and his people, forespoke guidance both politically and religiously, redirecting the Jews back to Mosaic Law. As a result, Isaiah instilled within the hearts of Jews faith in God, in a time of suffering and religious apathy.…

    A Journey Through the Old Testament

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…

    Psalm 40 Alluding to God's Will Versus Human Desire

    Psalm 40 Alluding to God's Will Versus Human Desire

    In 1 Samuel 13:13-14, the prophet Samuel tells Saul, “The Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever, but now your kingdom will not continue; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart...” (419). By this, Samuel pronounces that because Saul chose to take matters into his own hands instead of trusting the will of God, his reign over the Israelite people would end. This establishes a prominent metanarrative within the Bible; the conflict between humans following their desires, contrary to carrying out God 's will, and the repercussions that result. This metanarrative can be seen throughout the Bible in stories from Genesis, Exodus, 1 Samuel and 1 Kings. Psalm 40 also alludes and responds to this conflict which is repeatedly encountered by humanity. Through exegesis of Psalm 40 's theological theme and literary structure, instruction on how humankind should respond concerning the biblical narrative of human desire conflicting God 's will is found.…

    The Bible. There are many different versions, countless interpretations and conflicting ideologies in a single passage.

This paper will dive into an analysis of Ezekiel 34 and John 10:1-21 as it comes from a person who has never truly read the bible.…

    Througout Isaiah Essay

    Isaiah highlighted for me just how ugly sin really is. Througout Isaiah, we are shown a people who are so busy willingly chasing after the flashy lures of sin that they could not look up, to the goodness and glory of God. Sin blinded and and bound the people, and they refused to be made well. It can be hard to understand how Israel could be set so stubbornley in their rebellion.…

    Pros And Cons Of Pre Tribulation

    Following are 25 salient apologetics for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture position. While only a few of these are powerful enough to sway the argument in and of themselves, these arguments taken in their entirety present an overwhelming body of reason that is not easily (and certainly not logically) contraverted. Although there still remain a few problem passages which are not interpreted easily, it must be remembered that proper hermeneutics neither builds a doctrine on isolated scriptures, nor discards truth taught clearly based on these same isolated scriptures.…

    Walter Brueggemann Prophetic Voices In Exile Sparknotes

    In this book Walter Brueggemann looks at the three most prominent prophets during the period of the Jews' exile in Babylon after and around the time of 587 B.C. What links Jeremiah, Ezekiel and 2nd Isaiah is that in different ways each one spoke to the exiles. Jeremiah focuses on how God sent them into exile but continued to love them. Ezekiel focuses on God's holiness and freedom and the fact that he is calling them to recognize that God does not exist simply…

    The Book Of Judges

    The Book Of Judges

    I struggle with this text on numerous accounts. Firstly, I do not know how I would utilize this book in a pastoral setting other than presenting it as a message that states, “do what God says, or else!” The fear of the Lord is a good thing, but this book seems to inspire or draw out nothing but fear from people. It is all senseless violence and needless anguish because the people of Israel continue time and again to stray from God. I do not believe that most congregations would like to hear a sermon series based on this book, but I also know that it is not good to completely exclude it because it, too, is the inspired Word of God and that it was included in the canon for a reason. There is also a nagging thought in my brain that tries to connect the dots between the time of the judges and today’s era. Surely, we as a people, or even just we as Christians, are royally screwing up just as much as the Israelites were in that time. This makes me wonder how much God may be weeping because of the evil that his children do. We are covered by His grace – I have not forgotten this. I just cannot help but think that we can and should be doing better. I am not talking about works righteousness, but I am merely saying that we, myself included, can find ways to appropriately respond to His love and grace with gratitude and further advance His…

    Isiah 41:10

    The Confirmation passage I chose is Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This verse is very comforting to me. It tells me that my Savior will be with me through thick and thin, good times and bad times, and in every chapter of my life. It tells me that He loves me more that I can ever, ever imagine. Jesus died and rose again for me. Although I may not know what He has in store for me in heaven, I know that it’s unimaginably great. Isaiah 41:10 is reassuring and encouraging to me, and I hope it is to you too.…
