  • THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five
    THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum THE PRIESTLY COVENANT – Session Five Leader’s Opening Remarks Our covenant journey has taken us to Eden, where a broken promise activates the genesis of redemption. Next, we went by boat with Noah, where God re-created the world as the stage upon which the story of God’s grace and redemption would play out. Then despite Abraham and Sarah’s shortcomings, God used them to secure the innumerable seed of blessing that God had in store for the world. Last week, we made a turn as we Laws, or standards that God would set to define how one should live in relationship with God and with others. 57 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum Today, we will look again at Moses and this time, also his brother, Aaron, his nephew, Eleazar, and Eleazar’s son, Phinehas. This journey will reveal the importance of succession. The priestly covenant is a covenant of peace. But it starts out as anything but peaceful… Remember Moses’ reluctance to do what God had for him? He stuttered, and insisted that he wasn’t capable of doing all that God was calling him to do. So, God relented and gave Moses his brother, Aaron as an assurance that Moses had all that was needed to help free the Israelites from Pharaoh. A series of plagues and the death of Pharaoh’s son later, and Moses, Aaron, and all of the Israelites, crossed the Red Sea, and the enemy was defeated! But it still was not peaceful! 58 THE COVENANT: A Lenten Journey Curriculum The Israelites received the law, but the idolatry of Israel angered God and God denied the Israelites the peace that God had for them.

  • The Decline of Herod “The Great”
    THE DECLINE OF HEROD “THE GREAT” REMEMBER: • 19-18 BC – The Temple Shrine Building was completely renovated & magnificently adorned. • 19-12 BC – The Temple complex was greatly expanded & also magnificently adorned . 17 BC Herod visited Caesar Augustus at Rome. Upon his return, he brought back to Jerusalem with him his sons by the late Mariamne – Alexander (18 yrs) & Aristobulus (14 yrs), who had been educated at Rome. They were quite cold toward their father, owing to his role in their mother’s execution back in 29 BC. At Herod’s insistence, Agrippa (the second most powerful person in the Roman Republic/Empire) visited Judea on his way back to his administration of the eastern provinces (assigned 23-13 BC). 16-14 BC Herod, left Jerusalem & travelled into the region just north of the Black Sea in order to assist Agrippa with some difficulties there. Along the way he offered assistance to many citizens of the regions he passed through, typically out of his own pocket. Agrippa was greatly helped by Herod’s presence. 14 BC Returning to Rome’s Asia province, Herod convinced Agrippa to hear a legal appeal from the Jews of the region who were not being treated with the religious deference guaranteed them by Roman law. Agrippa upheld their rights & the two parted as great friends. Once back in Jerusalem, Herod gave the Jewish people a report of his recent travels. Then, since the financial affairs of Herod’s kingdom were so prosperous, he gave his people a 25 % cut in taxes. “So when he came to them, and gave them a particular account of all his journey, and of the affairs of all the Jews in Asia, how by his means they would live without injurious treatment for the time to come.

    SERMON PASSAGE: Leviticus 10 REVIEW THE SERMON 1. Read the prep verses (Ecclesiastes 5: 1-2; 1 Peter 4:17) and the sermon’s Bible passage to recall the content. 2. Briefly review the sermon outline: a. Introduction i. “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us…Worship is pure or base as the worshiper entertains high or low thoughts of God.” – AW Tozer ii. God’s glory is our highest priority (Leviticus 10:3). iii. His glory: sum of all His attributes, that He is infinitely great, strikingly beautiful, and absolutely perfect in all that He is and in all that He does. b. We demonstrate our reverence towards God and His glory being the highest priority by being submissive to His authority i. Obedience to God’s command ii. ““Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of God as Judge. Speak to them of God as a Father, a friend, a helper, one who loves us despite all our weakness and folly and sin, and their faces light up; you are on their wavelength at once. But speak to them of God as Judge, and they frown and shake their heads. Their minds recoil from such an idea. They find it repellent and unworthy.” – JI Packer iii. Exodus 19:5-6 iv. We are to worship and serve God His way, we are in no position to edit, revise, or ignore God’s Word. v. NT parallels to Leviticus 10: Acts 5, 1 Corinthians 11 c.

  • The Aaronic Priesthood Exodus 28:1
    THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD EXODUS 28:1 Man has an inherent knowledge of God (Rom. 1:18-32) and sinfulness (Rom. 2:14-15) and it seems every religion has some sort of priesthood to repre- sent man to God. In the case of Judaism, it was the Aaronic Priesthood. Romans 1:18–19 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteous- ness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. Romans 2:14–15 14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bear- ing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, In Exodus 27:21, we noted the first hint of the appointment of Aaron and his sons to be the priests of Yahweh. In Exodus 28:1, the appointment was offi- cially proclaimed. Exodus 28:1 1“Then bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with ,to Me—Aaron [כָּהַן] him, from among the sons of Israel, to minister as priest Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. and it refers to the כֹּהֵן is not the word for priest; that word is כָּהַן The word means to ,כָּהַן ,position of priest as mediator between God and man. This word act or to serve as a priest, hence, the NASB translates it to “minister as priest.” One is the noun and one is the verb.

  • 1. Herod the Great, Founder of the Dynasty, Tried to Kill the Infant Jesus by the “Slaughter of the Innocents” at Bethlehem
    1. Herod the Great, founder of the dynasty, tried to kill the infant Jesus by the “slaughter of the innocents” at Bethlehem. (Matthew 2:13-16) 2. Herod Philip, uncle and first husband of Herodias, was not a ruler. (Matt. 14:3) 3. Herodias (Matt. 14:3) left Herod Philip to marry his half-brother Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee & Perea (Matt. 14:1). 4. John the Baptist rebuked Antipas for marrying Herodias, his brother’s wife, while his brother was still alive—against the law of Moses (Matt. 14:4). 5. Salome (Matt. 14:6) danced for Herod Antipas and, at Herodias’s direction, requested the beheading of John the Baptist. Later she married her great-uncle Philip the Tetrarch (Luke 3:1). 6.

Coates, Ph.D., Senior Pastor 9832 Piscataway Road Clinton, Maryland 20735 Phone: 301-856-2170 Fax: 301-856-3212 www.mtennon.org Bible Study – May 16, 2018 “Breaking Generational Cycles” UNSUNG: Major Lessons from ‘Minor’ People – Pt. 2 Character Study: Agrippa II ___________________________________________________________________________ SCRIPTURE: Acts 25-26 We are going to get to know as much as we can about the man whose name was Agrippa. Who was Agrippa? His full name was Marcus Julius Agrippa II. He was quite popular with Roman ‘royalty’. But because he was so young when his father died, he was not allowed to take his place as ruler. Instead, he was given some lesser authority, which he used wisely; trading up, so to speak until he had supreme power in Jewish religious life. He was last in leadership of the Herodian Dynasty of rulers who ruled Judea. His father was King Agrippa and his great grandfather was Herod the Great. Herod “the Great” ruled as king of the Jews under Roman authority for thirty-three years, from 37–4 BC. He is remembered in the gospel as attempting to have all the baby boys killed in an attempt to kill Jesus after the wise men didn’t come back to report Jesus’ whereabouts. Herod was a cruel, jealous, and ruthless tyrant who crushed any potential opposition. He executed his wife when he suspected she was plotting against him. Three of his sons, another wife, and his mother-in- law met the same fate when they too were suspected of conspiracy. KING Agrippa I Herod Agrippa, also known as Herod or Agrippa I was a King of Judea from 41 to 44 AD.
