  • What Is Biblical Prophecy?
    What is Biblical Prophecy? What Biblical Prophecy is NOT, and What It Really IS: Contrary to what many fundamentalist preachers or late-night radio hosts would have you believe, biblical prophecy is not primarily about “predicting the future” or finding clues in the Bible that correspond to people or events in our own day and age! The prophets of Ancient Israel did not look into some kind of crystal ball and see events happening thousands of years after their own lifetimes. The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries! Rather, biblical prophets were mainly speaking to and writing for the people of their own time. They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God’s commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed. They were conveying messages from God, who had called or commissioned them, rather than speaking on their own initiative or authority. However, because the biblical prophets were transmitting messages on behalf of God (as Jews and Christians believe), much of what they wrote for their own time is clearly also relevant for people living in the modern world. The overall message of faith and repentance is timeless and applicable in all ages and cultures. To understand what biblical prophecy really is, let’s look more closely at the origins, definitions, and uses of some key biblical words. In the Hebrew Bible, the word for “prophet” is usually nabi’ (lit. “spokesperson”; used over 300 times!), while the related feminine noun nebi’ah (“prophetess”) occurs only rarely.

  • The Mute Man, Psalm 39
    The Mute Man Jesus in the Psalms Psalm 39 Stuart W. Bryan I. He answered him not a word (cf. Lk 23:6-12) Psalm 39 was written while David was suffering under God’s hand (10) and tempted to complain against the Lord. However, knowing that the Lord was in charge, David governed his tongue (9) and cried out to God for wisdom (4-6) and deliverance (7-13). In so doing, he is a type of Christ and a model for us. II. The Mute Man A. Introduction: To Jeduthun (cf. Pss 62, 77; 1 Chr 16:37-42; 25:1-3) Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was: Of the sons of … Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD. B. Vow & Inner Turmoil (1-3) The prosperity of the wicked was a reality that deeply troubled David. David loved the Lord and loved justice and wrestled profoundly with what we might call “the problem of evil.” Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the righteous suffer? C. Prayer for Wisdom (3c-6 cf. Ps 90:12) David prays that God would teach him how frail his life is. Moses prayed similarly in Psalm 90:12, Lord, teach us to so number our days that we may present to you a heart of ___________.

  • A Commentary on Jerome's Contra Vigilantium by Amy
    A COMMENTARY ON JEROME’S CONTRA VIGILANTIUM BY AMY HYE OH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Philology with a concentration in Medieval Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Danuta Shanzer Professor Ralph Mathisen Professor Jon Solomon Professor Stephan Heilan, University of Osnabrück ABSTRACT Innkeepers inspired this dissertation. After working on ‘innkeepers’ as a topic for a research seminar paper, I soon discovered that the term caupo counted as an insult according to several church fathers, including Jerome. In the Contra Vigilantium, Jerome mocked his enemy, Vigilantius, by calling him a caupo who mixed water with wine; I wondered whether the title was true and the insult was deserved. What remained was to figure out who this man was and why he mattered. The dissertation is comprised of four parts: introductory chapters, a text with an en face translation, a philological/historical commentary, and appendices. The first chapter introduces Vigilantius, discusses why a commentary of the Contra Vigilantium is needed, and provides a biography, supported by literary and historical evidence in response to the bolder and more fanciful account of W.S. Gilly.1 The second chapter treats Vigilantius as an exegete. From a sample of his exegesis preserved in Jerome’s Ep. 61, I determine that Jerome dismissed Vigilantius’ exegesis because he wanted to protect his own orthodoxy. The third chapter situates Vigilantius in the debate on relic worship. His position is valuable because he opposed most of his contemporaries, decrying relics instead of supporting their translation and veneration.

In these troublous years Heermann several times lost all his moveables; once he had to keep away from Koben for seventeen weeks; twice he was nearly sabred; and once, while crossing the Oder in a frail boat loaded almost to sinking, he heard the bullets of the pursuing soldiers whistle just over his head.

  • Prophetic Oracles in the Cultic Life of Israel: a Study of Prophetic Psalms 50 and 81
    Prophetic Oracles in the Cultic Life of Israel: A Study of Prophetic Psalms 50 and 81 TONG Sin-lung Supervisor: Prof. Archie C. C. Lee A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Divinity In Graduate Division of Religion and Theology The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2004 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate school. —一__ I WW-IBRARY SYSTEIVn^ Abstract Psalms 50 and 81 are called the psalms of Asaph, who is a cultic functionary who has composed the psalms used in the cultic life of Israel. Psalms 50 and 81 are also prophetic psalms in the Hebrew Psalter. From the detailed study on prophetic psalms 50 and 81,1 would argue that the cultic functionaries, i.e. the Levites in the temple, have one of their roles as a temple prophet in ancient Israel, proclaiming the divine oracles to the Israelite community. These prophetic oracles are significant in the Israelites' regular worship of God and also in their times of national crisis. The cultic functionaries not just preach the message of salvation，but also remind the people of God their apostasy and the commandments of God. Psalms of Asaph exhibit the characteristic themes of prophetic oracles in both the eighth and seventh centuries, namely the injustices and idolatry. Thus, psalms of Asaph might probably be used in the period after the destruction of Samaria and before the destruction of Jerusalem.

  • David's Final Decrees—Divisions of the Levites (C
    © 2021 Nathan E. Brown July 2 – OT Chronological Synopsis – NASB Version comeafterme.com David’s Final Decrees—Divisions of the Levites (c. 971t–970t BC) 1 Chronicles 23 Introductory Statement 1 Now when David reached old age, he made his son Solomon king over Israel. Divisions of the Levites 2 And he gathered together all the leaders of Israel with the priests and the Levites. 3 The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000. 4 Of these, 24,000 were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and 6,000 were officers and judges, 5 and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise. 6 David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Gershon 7 Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei. 8 The sons of Ladan were Jehiel the first and Zetham and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father’s household, one class. Kohath 12 The sons of Kohath were four: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. 13 The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever.

  • Titles of Psalms 6,12
    British Bible School – Online Classes: 14th September 2020 – 30th November 2020 THE PSALMS THE TITLES OF THE PSALMS 1. The superscriptions or titles found to many of the Psalms (116 have titles) are not thought to be part of the original text but do reflect an ancient and reliable description of the setting or occasion of writing. The Hebrew texts include them as part of the text of the Psalm. Some English versions, such as the New English Bible and the Good News Bible do not include them at all. Some of the terms used in some of the titles are obscure and their meaning cannot be ascertained for certain. Often the translators have simply transliterated the Hebrew word into English rather than try to offer an English equivalent. These titles reflect: i) The style or character of the Psalm. ii) The musical setting. iii) The occasion for use. iv) Authorship. v) The occasion of writing. 2. Titles that reflect the style or character of the Psalm i) MIZMOR – Translated as “Psalm” – occurs in 57 titles, e.g. Psalm 98. It is often followed by the name of the author, e.g. Psalm 101. It means ‘a song with instrumental accompaniment.’ ii) SHIR – Translated as “Song” – occurs in 30 titles, e.g. Psalm 108. It is a general term for a song. iii) MASKIL – occurs in 13 titles, e.g. Psalm 32; 42. The meaning of the term is uncertain. It may mean a teaching psalm or a meditation, or a psalm of understanding. iv) MIKHTAM – occurs in 6 titles, e.g.

  • The Prophets and the Promise
    THE PROPHETS AND THE PROMISE BY WILLIS JUDSON BEECHER 1905 by Thomas Y. Crowell, New York. Digitized by Ted Hildebrandt: Gordon College 2005 PREFACE IN part the Stone lectures as delivered were a selec- tion from the materials of this volume, and in part the volume is an expansion of the lectures. It is a product of studies, accumulating during many years, rather than a predirected discussion of a subject, but I hope that it will not be found deficient in logical coherence. The presentation it makes is essentially a restatement of the Christian tradition that was supreme fifty years ago, but a restatement with differences so numerous and important that it will probably be regarded, by men who do not think things through, as an attack on that tradition. If what I have said makes that impression on any one, and if he regards the matter as of sufficient importance, I ask him to consider it more carefully. I have tried to make my search a search for the truth, without undue solicitude as to whether its results are orthodox; but it seems to me that my conclusions are simply the old orthodoxy, to some extent transposed into the forms of modern thought, and with some new ele- ments introduced by widening the field of the induction. It follows, of course, that my position is antagonistic to that of the men who attack the older tradition. But I have tried not to be polemic. I have tried to give due consideration to the views of the men with whom I differ.
