I will become rich, now that she has been destroyed,’ 3 therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: Look, I am against you, O Tyre! I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves. 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will scrape her soil from her and make her a bare rock. 5 She will be a place where fishing nets are spread, surrounded by the sea. For I have spoken, declares the sovereign LORD. She will become plunder for the nations, 6 and her daughters who are in the field will be slaughtered by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD. The Agent of God’s Judgment 7 “For this is what the sovereign LORD says: Take note that I am about to bring King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses, chariots, and horsemen, an army and hordes of people. 8 He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will build a siege wall against you, erect a siege ramp against you, and raise a great shield against you. 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his weapons. 10 He will cover you with the dust kicked up by his many horses. Your walls will shake from the noise of the horsemen, wheels, and chariots when he enters your gates like those who invade through a city’s broken walls. 11 With his horses’ hoofs he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will tumble down to the ground.

  • Passover Pastor Jerry Gillis – April 23, 2017
    Feast on Jesus (Part 1) – Passover Pastor Jerry Gillis – April 23, 2017 So, last week on Easter, many of you gathered around with family and friends and had a feast, and celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus from the grave. Some of you ate so much that you are quickly headed to the grave, and thus are even more grateful for the Resurrection. But this time frame and this feast is not something that is just common to Christians, to those of us who follow Jesus and we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus during this time. We're not the first ones to have this time frame of celebrating a feast during that exact time. In fact, our Jewish brothers and sisters have been doing this for 3,500 years during this time frame, which is a season that we are going to focus on in just a minute. Now let me say this, kind of from the outset. Part of the reason that we're doing this series is because here at The Chapel we believe that the whole of Scripture actually points to Jesus. All of it. Even well before the time where Jesus was born in the flesh in Bethlehem, we believed that the Old Testament is pointing us to the Lord Jesus Christ. And so, what we're going to do in this series is we're going to take a look at the Old Testament feasts and we're going to see and meet Jesus in that. In other words, the idea is this. It's that we're going to set the table with the Old Testament feasts so that we have the opportunity to feast on Jesus.

Who by refraining from talking during the service. would be his successor? Did he have any thoughts on the matter? With profound attentiveness, the Sages noted the immediately previous passage. It is the story of the daughters of Tzelophehad, who claim their rights of inheritance in the land, despite the fact FRIDAY that inheritance passed through the male line and their father had left no sons. Moses brought their request to God, who answered that it was to be granted. 6:35 pm: Mincha / Kabbalat Shabbat / Maariv Against this background, the Midrash interprets Moses’ thoughts as he brings his own request to God, that a successor be appointed: (Shema should be recited after 9:05 pm) What was Moses’ reason for making this request after declaring the order of inheritance? Just this, that when the daughters of Tzelophehad inherited from their father, Moses reasoned: The SHABBAT time is right for me to make my own request.

She plans to graduate in June 2021 and pursue a graduate degree in chaplaincy or social work. Abstract: What forces, practices, rituals, or objects worked to safeguard the ancient Israelite sanctuary against evil and harm? Archaeological and textual evidence suggests that the high priest’s golden crown may have been an apotropaic amulet worn to protect the high priest and the holy space. Magical practices described in the Bible are illuminated by the presence of apotropaic ritual and amulets in wider Near Eastern society. Metallic amulets such as those found at Ketef Hinnom were utilized to protect the wearer in the name of the deity.
