Showing titles in Old Testament

Abraham stands as a monumental patriarch across the world's three major monotheistic religions; Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all trace their spiritual lineage to this singular man. His life, as primarily documented in the audiobook of Genesis, beginning in chapter 11 and extending through chapter 25, presents a compelling narrative of faith, obedience, and divine promise.

Offerings and Sacrifices, is about what we bring to God in worship and sometimes what it costs. We like the idea of gaining blessings and a relationship from God but hate the concept of sacrifice and giving something up to obtain it. Worship isn’t just about showing up at church, hearing a good message, singing a random song, being good for a few hours, and then returning to everyday life as though religion is nothing more than a pick me up. Worship is about preparing oneself to come in contact and commune with the Most High.

Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In Joseph's Bones, Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective—one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph—and finds something an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God. This is a rarity in Biblical interpretation—brilliant and rigorously argued, "a work of stunning originality."

The fruit of keeping God's commandment, with all the heart and soul faithfully and abiding by the divine covenant, is that the believers become a special people and that God elevates His people and sanctifies them: "And that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken." (Deut. 26: 19). God elevates their names, so they are attached to His great name. Heaven and earth are astonished for the honor and the splendor they have in the Lord, and He sanctifies them to become...

To our Beloved Children: What do you know about historical books? To know the Judges' era in the Old Testament, we have to know the various historical stages from the standpoint of the salvation of mankind. 1. The creation stage: The book of Genesis talked to us about the creation to realize how God granted man authority and power to learn and explore until the modern man reached outer space. 2. The renewal stage: Since the creation was defiled, there was only one righteous family, which was Noah, his sons and their wives. God asked them to renew the world through the ark and the flood. 3. ...

La obra está compuesta por doce secciones, una para cada hijo de Jacob: Rubén, Simeón, Leví, Judá, Isacar, Zabulón, Dan, Neftalí, Gad, Aser, José y Benjamín. En cada testamento, el patriarca respectivo —ya anciano y próximo a la muerte— convoca a sus hijos y les transmite una serie de exhortaciones, confesiones personales, advertencias, consejos morales y, en algunos casos, profecías acerca del futuro de su tribu y del pueblo de Israel en general.

The name "Moloch" resonates through history with a chilling association; it is a name synonymous with the most extreme forms of religious fanaticism, specifically the practice of child sacrifice. Mentioned in the Bible and referenced in various historical texts, Moloch has become a potent symbol of evil, a deity demanding the ultimate price for favor. The history of this figure is complex, shrouded in the mists of antiquity and open to varied interpretations by scholars, historians, and theologians alike.

God is very much interested in man. He is seeking to obtain the man after His own heart. Indeed, He is determined to provide for His only begotten Son a counterpart in man. And in relation to that end and purpose, there is to be found depicted in the Bible's very first book the biographies of especially eight different persons; and in each one of these eight individuals God has worked into him one special quality or characteristic of His beloved Son Jesus Christ. By combining these particular eight qualities together, there emerges the man after God's heart whom He shall give to His Son as ...

The life of Moses is most inspiring. At a certain point in that life he was called by God to be "My servant." Indeed, living for 120 years, Moses' servanthood was divided into three periods of 40 years each. During the first 40 years Moses tried to serve God according to his own way—which was the way he had learned from the world. So, during the second 40 years of his life, which was spent entirely out in the desert wilderness of Midian, Moses had to unlearn all he had learned previously, and also he had to learn God. Finally, throughout the entire concluding 40-year period of his long ...

Do you want to play the game of life? Ecclesiastes is going to show us how to do this in a fallen world where things often don’t make sense and are messed up.

Jonah is not about Nineveh that great city, but about a God who is the Conqueror of kingdoms and the Ruler of nations. Jonah is not about a prophet who flees, but a God who pursues.
