  • When God Says “No” Lesson One
    When God Says “No” Lesson One Focal Text: 1 Chronicles 28:1-10 Background: Job 38:1-8 Teaching Aim: To lead members to reflect on the legacy they are leaving behind and determine ways to make that legacy more in keeping with God’s plan for their lives. Connect with Life: Begin with a challenge for members to reflect on the legacy they are leaving behind if today was the last day of their life. In other words, what would their loved ones and friends say was most important in their life based on their actions? Then ask members if they would like to make any changes in their life message? Share with members that in our study for today we will be reminded of the legacy left behind by David with his final words that reflected the life he lived. We will discover some aspects of his legacy that can be applied to our own legacy revisions. Guide Bible Study: Then lead members to identify these aspects of David’s legacy as found in our focal passage for this study. Suggested aspects and related commentary are as follows: 1. Humility (28:1-2a). David demonstrated humility throughout his life and in this final gathering of the Jewish leaders. Even though David was their king, he referred to them as brothers and “my people.” He was certainly identifying with them as an equal before God. We will also see his humility in our discussion of verse 5. David included all of the leaders in this final gathering before his death in order to remind them of the legacy he was leaving behind.

Yet even in our modern world money cannot buy freedom is not accepted with enthusiasm; indeed the story has been called from sorrow and suffering. So many books are written on this a 'passion narrative'. Let us consider some of these reports which theme nowadays, (for instance the book by Harold S. Kushner relate to Jeremiah's suffering.

The book of Jeremiah offers one model of suffering. peace (cf. 29:26, apparently this happened more often).

His preaching became extremely polarizing. These political factions could be categorized along a spectrum of support and hatred toward the prophet. Jeremiah’s imprisonment (Jeremiah 38) illustrates some of the various attitudes toward God’s emissary. This scene also demonstrates the political climate and spiritual atmosphere of Jerusalem at the verge of its collapse into the Babylonian exile and also gives insights into the beginning narrative of the Book of Mormon.

  • 1 Chronicles Chapter 28
    1 Chronicles Chapter 28 In verses 28:1 – 29:20: A record is given of David’s last assembly in which the king charged Solomon and the people to build the temple for God’s glory. These final chapters present the transition from David to Solomon. The chronicler does not mention Adonijah’s conspiracy (1 Kings 1:5-9), or David’s weakness (1 Kings 1:1-4), but looks at the positive contribution of the Davidic kingdom. Verses 1-2: David is portrayed as a healthy man who “stood up upon his feet”, a quite different description than that of the elderly, dying David (in 1 Kings 1:1). Neither Adonijah’s rebellion (1 Kings 1:5-10), nor the dramatic way Solomon became king (1 Kings 1:11-31), is mentioned. The details were chosen to present David as a unifier of Israel. 1 Chronicles 28:1 "And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem." This is the third telling of the Lord’s promise to “David.” The Davidic covenant was announced to David (17:1-27; compare 2 Sam. 7:2-29), and was related by David to Solomon (22:6-13), and is now rehearsed by David in the hearing of “all Israel” (verses 2-8).

  • The Egyptian View of Abraham
    chapter 4 The Egyptian View of Abraham When Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem in 587 BC, many Jews fled into Egypt (Jeremiah 43). Other Jews settled in Egypt in the following years. Some assimilated into the surrounding culture, but not all did; a sufficient number retained their faith and established Jewish temples in Elephantine during the Persian Period (525–332 BC) and in Leontopolis during the Ptolemaic Period (332–32 BC). Jewish settlements existed in Elephantine, Edfu, Thebes, Hermop- olis Magna, Oxyrhynchos, Arsinoe (Krokodilopolis), Syron Kome, Alexandrou Nesos, Samaria (Kome), Chanaanain, Trikoma, Teb- tynis, Herakleopolis, Tebetnoi, Memphis, Demerdash, Leontopolis, Shedia, Xenephyris, Nitriai, Tanis, Pelusium, Athribis, and Alexan- dria. The Jews brought some of their texts with them; for example, the earliest manuscript of any of the Psalms is a fifth-century BC text written in demotic script and found at Elephantine. The biblical story of Abraham appears in Egypt by at least the third century BC, when the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek 49 50 introduction to the book of abraham the egyptian view of abraham 51 during the reign of Ptolemy II. This translation is known as the Sep- tuagint. Egyptian manuscripts of the Septuagint telling the biblical story of Abraham date as early as the first century BC. Nonbiblical stories about Abraham circulated in Egypt even ear- lier. During the reign of Ptolemy I, Hecateus of Abdera traveled to Thebes and learned stories about Abraham from Egyptian priests; he wrote these stories in a book called On Abraham and the Egyptians. This work is now unfortunately lost, but Clement of Alexandria, a second-century AD Egyptian Christian, quoted a short passage from it in which the worship of idols is condemned.
