Narrative and prophetic texts in the Bible and 1 Nephi have great value in helping us understand the milieu in which Jeremiah and Lehi received and fulfilled their prophetic missions, but these records are not our only documentary sources. A number of Israelite inscriptions dating to the period of 640–586 b.c., the general time of Jeremiah and Lehi, provide additional glimpses into this pivotal and primarily tragic period in Israelite history. The number of inscriptions discovered from ancient Israel and its immediate neighbors—Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, and Phoenicia—pales in comparison to the bountiful harvest of texts from ancient Assyria, Babylonia, and Egypt.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • Jeremiah 35:1-19 • an End Times Role Model
    Jeremiah 35:1-19 • An End Times Role Model Introduction We need to pay particular attention to what went on in the period of Israel’s history leading up to the Captivity as it is foreshadows how things will take place in the Last Days leading up to the Great Tribulation. Through these events the Holy Spirit is trying to teach us something about our present situation. And in the midst of a time when it seems like everyone has fallen away, that there are no more true believers and that there are ten thousand false prophets for every true prophet, we are provided a very interesting example of faithfulness by a remnant in the midst of these circumstances. 1The word which came to Jeremiah [Read v.1-5] from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, Q: Who, exactly, are the Rechabites? Why is their heritage in Israel 2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites and particularly unique? speak to them, and bring them into the A: According to the genealogy in 1 Chronicles they are descended from house of the LORD, into one of the the Kenites of Hamath.

    Naked Bible Podcast Episode 117: Ezekiel 8-9 Naked Bible Podcast Transcript Episode 117 Ezekiel 8-9 September 10, 2016 Teacher: Dr. Michael S. Heiser (MH) Host: Trey Stricklin (TS) Episode Summary Ezekiel 8 and 9 falls in the section of Ezekiel that concerns two themes: the punishment of Jerusalem and the departure of the glory of God. In Chapter 8 we’re introduced to some specific points of Israelite idolatry – worship of Asherah and worshipping the creator as though he were part of creation. Ezekiel 9 hearkens back to our earlier episode about God keeping a record of the faithful. The judgment vision also takes us back to similar events like the death angel at Passover. Transcript TS: Welcome to the Naked Bible Podcast, Episode 117—Ezekiel chapters 8 and 9. I’m the layman, Trey Stricklin, and he’s the scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser. Hey Mike, how’re you doing this week? MH: Very good, very good Trey, how are you? TS: I’m doing pretty good! Things are normal… things are normal. And we’re moving right along through Ezekiel. You know it’s funny that I’m starting to see the name “Ezekiel” everywhere… on football, on TV… MH: Speaking of football, how did you do on the first week?

    ABOMINATION ASSOCIATED WITH DESOLATION... Only at the es qes ... time of the end! It may be one of the Bible’s most frightening words! It describes how God feels about a behavior or a worship practice that He despises. When He calls something an “abomination,” you know He has raised His voice. Solomon lists seven things that the Lord hates... “Yea, seven are abomination[s] to him” (Proverbs 6:16-19). “Lying lips” are an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 12:22). He also hates heathen idols... they are an abomination (Deuteronomy 12:29-32). That is an especially sensitive issue with our sovereign God! There are many deep religious issues that God addresses with this word. Even “new moons,” and church gatherings are abominations if the worship experience is filled with vain oblations or liturgical mysteries (Isaiah 1:13). Jeremiah noted that building edifices to worship Baal in “high places” and causing children to walk through fire to the god Molech (Jeremiah 32:35) was an abomination. Molech was a heathen deity of the Ammonites. Babies were placed into the red hot hands of Moloch’s statute and sacrificed. Baal had been adopted from the Phonecians. It morphed into many forms in different cultures. But everywhere its place of honor was on a hill or an elevated eminence so the heavens could be seen and worshiped, especially the sun. Many ancient records even equate Baal worship with sun worship. An abomination always represents something God detests . Frequently the issue relates to a substitute of Himself or something that tarnishes His character.

    Jaazaniah the Rechabite The son of Obedience (Jeremiah 35) (Jeremiah 35): 1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.” 3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, his brothers and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites, 4 and I brought them into the house of the LORD… 5 Then I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine.” 6 But they said, “We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, you nor your sons, forever ... 12 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 13 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to obey My words?” says the LORD. 14 “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, and obey their father’s commandment. But although I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, you did not obey Me. 15 I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.

  • EZEKIEL the LORD’S Judgment & Restoration Bible Study 2020/2021; Tuesdays, 12:00-1:00 P.M
    EZEKIEL The LORD’s Judgment & Restoration Bible Study 2020/2021; Tuesdays, 12:00-1:00 p.m. by Zoom Class #9, November 17, 2020 The Visionary Ezekiel 8:1-10:22; 11:22-25; 43:1-14 Notes, observations, and questions on Ezekiel 8:1-18 1. We come here to the vision Yahweh gives Ezekiel of Yahweh’s departure from the temple back in Jerusalem. In these sections of the book, we find three distinct visionary events: (a) The departure of the glory (8:8; 9:3: 10:1-22; 11:22-23) (b) The abominations being perpetrated in the temple (8:5-18) (c) The judgment inflicted on Jerusalem (9:1-2, 4-11) 2. Intersecting this vision is an account of a disputation with some of the leading men of Jerusalem and an oracle declaration of God’s salvation of a remnant of his people. Every visionary event in Ezekiel’s ministry is complex and includes the work of God in various ways. Such is the life of one totally under the Spirit’s control and power. 3. While the idea of the LORD abandoning his people was well known in past prophetic utterance, only rarely is his forsaking of the land of Israel contemplated. Ezekiel is the one who develops the theme of Yahweh’s abandonment of his temple and city most fully. 4. 8:1-4, the preamble to the first temple vision (a) This preamble serves three functions leading into the vision: (1) It establishes the historical context of the prophetic experience. We can calculate it exactly to September 18, 592 BC on our calendar.
