  • The Prison Epistles”
    A PASSAGE THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT Part Seven “The Prison Epistles” by J.S. Smith The Prison Epistles Author: Paul • 61-64 A.D. Ephesians The book is addressed to the saints in Ephesus, the capital of the Roman province of Asia in the first century. She was surrounded by mountains and the sea and intimate with Greek trade, art and science. Ephesus was the famed home of the Temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world. The temple was 425 feet long by 225 feet wide and supported by 127 marble columns, 60 feet high. Ephesus was a point of travel convergence along a communication line stretching from Rome to the East. The church at Ephesus traces its start to the sixteenth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. The Holy Spirit hindered Paul from speaking in Asia on his second missionary journey. After taking the gospel to Europe, Paul made a quick visit to Ephesus (Acts 18:19) with Priscilla and Aquila who stayed on there for several years after Paul’s departure. The author is the apostle Paul. In the spring of 54 A.D., Paul came back to Ephesus and joined Priscilla and Aquila. The purpose of this epistle does not seem to be occasioned by any special circumstances or outstanding event. Rather, it seems to be a convenient opportunity for paul to correspond with his beloved brethren at ephesus. A large part of this missive is about unity. Paul did not want to see or engender a split among jewish churches and Gentile churches.

We are what the Bible I calls the household of God, a true family. Jesus redefined family by emphasizing the doing of God's will as the unifying force and determining sign of our tie that binds.

In our togetherness God is revealed, and here we begin to experience the coming of heaven even now. As God's divine tapestry continues to be woven in, through and among us, may we be that 'imago dei,' God's image, for all the world to see. There is plenty of more room in our growing family.

What sources did he use in his composition? The Zondervan Ency- clopedia of the Bible supplies answers to these questions: “(1) Major portions of the second half of the book are the report of an eyewitness and a partici- pant in events. The account of the visit to Philippi in Acts 16 and that of the two voyages in chs. 20–21 and 27–28 read like a personal diary. The use of the first-person pronoun claims this au- thenticity, and the style and detail of the narrative in no way impugn the claim. (2) Events between Acts 21 and 27, where no personal participation is implied or claimed, never- theless took place while Luke was in contact with the situation, and these are recounted with a detail and a sureness of touch that mark them either as the work of an eyewitness or one in im- mediate contact with reliable witnesses.

  • Revelation 2:18-29 the Church at Thyatira Chavurah Shalom Friday 11/18/16
    Revelation 2:18-29 The Church at Thyatira Chavurah Shalom Friday 11/18/16 Our text begins, as each of the letters, with a statement of the author of the letter: Thus says The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze. The word "burnished" basically means that which is highly pol- ished, and shiny. We might say "reflective," and thus radiating the brilliance of the light shining out from Him. Thyatira (modern Ahisar) was located about thirty-five miles inland, between Pergamon and Sardis in northern Lydia, or Mysia (Strabo 13.4). According to le- gend, Thyatira was first established as a shrine to the sun god Tyrimnus and named Pelopia. ... Lydia of Thyatira, who lived in Philippi, was Paul’s first Christian convert in Europe (Acts 16:14–15, 40) and sold purple goods as a trade she had probably learned in Thyatira, which was particularly known for its dye- ing process and had a strong guild of dyers (Magie, Roman Rule 1:48; 2:812 n. 80)....One of the significant characteristics of Thyatira was the prominence of various trade guilds, including associations of clothiers, bakers, tanners, potters, linen workers, wool merchants, slave traders, shoemakers, dyers, and copper smiths (Magie, Roman Rule 1:48; 2:812 n. 78; A. H. M. Jones, Cities, 83; Hemer, BurH 11 [1975] 110).--David E. Aune, Word Biblical Commentary, p. 201. Some commentators suggest a specific contrast of "Son of God" with Zeus's son Apollo, a patron deity of Thyatira, with whom the deified emperors were linked.

Let God Lead - 11 From Troas we put out to sea and sailed straight for Samothrace, and the next day we went on to Neapolis. 12 From there we traveled to Philippi, a Roman colony and the leading city of that district of Macedonia.

We sat down and began to speak to the women who had gathered there. 14 One of those listening was a woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God.
