And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. Genesis 17:21 ,22 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. Genesis 18:1 The LORD appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. Genesis 18:2-9 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth, and said, My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant. Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way now that you have come to your servant. They said, Very well, do as you have said. Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it. He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate. They asked him, Where is Sarah, your wife? He said, See, in the tent. Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 2 | Page NOVEMBER 7, 2020 – CHESHVAN 20, 5781 NOTES Genesis 18:10 And He said: I will certainly return unto thee when the season cometh round; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him. Genesis 18:12,13 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Genesis 18:14,15 And the LORD said unto Abraham: Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I of a surety bear a child, who am old? Is anything too hard for the LORD. At the set time I will return unto thee, when the season cometh round, and Sarah shall have a son. Genesis 18:16-18 Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way. And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Genesis 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Genesis 18:32,33 Then he said, Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there? And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of ten. So the Lord went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place. Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. Genesis 19:1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 3 | Page NOVEMBER 7, 2020 – CHESHVAN 20, 5781 NOTES Genesis 19:3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. Genesis 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: Genesis 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came into thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. Genesis 19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, Genesis 19:14,15 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Get up, get out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city! But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking. When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city. Genesis 19:23,24 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven; Genesis 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:27,28 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. Genesis 20:1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar. Genesis 20:2-4 Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also? 4 | Page NOVEMBER 7, 2020 – CHESHVAN 20, 5781 NOTES Genesis 20:17,18 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children; for the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife. Genesis 21:1,2 And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. Genesis 21:9-11 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son. Genesis 21:14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. Genesis 13:1,2 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. Genesis 14:14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. Genesis 21:12,13 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

  • Ezekiel Chapter 21
    Ezekiel Chapter 21 Chapter 21: Since the people did not seem to understand the parable of the devouring fire, Ezekiel now explains the impending judgment in terms of a sword. First, the lord is pictured as a warrior who says, “I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath” (verse 5). Then the sword is sharpened to make a sore slaughter (verse 10), and directed toward Judah (verse 20). Finally, Ammon would likewise be slain by the sword (verses 28-32). (Verse 21), gives interesting insight into the Babylonian practice of divination. Three distinct ways for determining the will of the gods are mentioned. Casting arrows (much like our “drawing straws”), consulting images (directly or as mediums to departed spirits), and hepatoscopy, or the examination of the liver. In the last named practice, a sacrificial animal was slain, its liver was examined, and the particular shape and configuration was compared with a catalog of symptoms and predictions. The point is that no matter how much the Babylonian king foolishly uses his divination, the will of the one true God will be accomplished. In verses (21:1-7) The Word came. This is the sign of the sword against Jerusalem. God depicts His judgment in terms of a man unsheathing his polished sword for a deadly thrust. God is the swordsman (verses 3-4), but Babylon is His sword (verse 19). Ezekiel 21:1-2 "And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying," "Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel," This is the beginning of another prophecy.

  • EZEKIEL 21 Vs 18 KJV-Lite™ VERSES
    EZEKIEL 21 vs 18 KJV-lite™ VERSES www.ilibros.net/KJV-lite.html This chapter is a key intersection in the Old Testament, to understand it is to know what is going on in our 21st century. Ezekiel is going to hear about a significant change that will take place to the House of Israel, that might have been lost to man, but not to God. Where did Jeremiah go to build and plant? 18 The word of the LORD came to me again. 19 you also son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; both will come from one land and choose a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city / Moffat says, Son of man, trace two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take; both roads will come from the same place. The LORD God asks Ezekiel -- like a military strategist, to draw up routes of attack. Both places will be ruined; the option is: who will be first. 20 Choose the way that the sword comes to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified city / considered impregnable. And what we read next in God’s word is sort of funny. 21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination / Nebuchadnezzar arrived at the intersection Ezekiel is strategically working up for the Lord. Here is the king of Babylon at this intersection, apparently, his wise men stayed home; It seems Nebuchadnezzar stood there clueless; as he tried to conjure up the demons for advice.

  • Parable of the Drawn Sword: Stressing the Extent of Who Would Be Punished (Ezekiel 20:49-21:7)
    THRU THE BIBLE EXPOSITION Ezekiel: Effective Ministry To The Spiritually Rebellious Part XXIV: Parable Of The Drawn Sword: Stressing The Extent Of Who Would Be Punished (Ezekiel 20:49-21:7) I. Introduction A. Jesus in Matthew 23:1-36 pronounced woes of divine judgment against the Pharisees of His day. This was a shocking denunciation, for the Pharisees were theologically conservative in contrast to the Sadducees. B. Similarly, Ezekiel 20:49-21:7 tells of God's future punishment of "the righteous and the wicked" (v. 3-4), both those who were considered to be upright and those considered to be evil, what seemed harsh in Ezekiel's day. C. Nevertheless, God's punishment is always truly righteous, and we view this passage for our insight: II. Parable Of The Drawn Sword: Stressing The Extent Of Who Would Be Punished, Ezekiel 20:49-21:7. A. Before approaching Ezekiel 20:49-21:7, we need to recall that in Ezekiel 18:1-32, God strongly countered the belief that the children would be punished for their fathers' sins. Indeed, the phrase repeated in that chapter is, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," the pronoun "it" being written before the verb "will die" as an emphatic pronoun to mean only the soul that sins will die for his sin alone, Ezekiel 18:4, 20; Kittel, Bib. Heb., p. 836. B. As we then view Ezekiel 20:49, we note the people of Israel in captivity had reacted to Ezekiel's giving of the parable of the forest fire in Ezekiel 20:45-48 by complaining that he was "just telling parables, or perplexing riddles," not understanding his prediction on Judah's coming destruction, Bible Know.

  • Ezekiel 21\01-32'Notes.Indd
    Review When we were finishing up chapter 20, God had instructed Ezekiel to foretell the destruction of Jerusalem to the Jews. The words he was to use were a parable of a forest fire. But when they heard it, they said, "Isn't he just speaking parables?" They either refused to understand it or just didn't believe it. Now, as chapter 21 begins, God tells Ezekiel to give the same mes- sage, but this time, it will be in much clearer terms. 21:1-2 Set Your Face Toward Jerusalem In the parable, Ezekiel was told to set his face toward Teman and speak against the south. Now, God is clear as a bell: "Set your face to- ward Jerusalem, and speak against it." Hard to misinterpret that! There is no more room to misunderstand or misinterpret. This prophecy will be against Jerusalem, its sanctuaries, and against the whole land of Israel. 21:3 The Sword Of The Lord The prophecy towards Israel was God saying, "I am against you." He tells them that He is going to draw His sword and cut them off from the land. Just like the parable of the forest fire, God is specific - this judgment will spread from south to north. As we will see when we get down to verse 18, the sword of which God speaks is Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his army. This sword is the fire of the previous parable. The Righteous And The Wicked It is interesting to note that both the righteous and the wicked will be cut off from the land.

  • Ezekiel 21 Part 12
    1 graceWORKS ! GOING DEEPER The Papou Study Bible is a daily study provided by me to help folks explore the depth and joy of the “conneXion” life of God. It’s my personal study, and is not intended as a doctrinal statement or statement of any church or denomination or congregation. It’s also my belief that “grace” works, and the servant of God should always want to go deeper. Multi- tasking as usual, I’m also calling this the “Papou Study Bible.” I’m writing it as if I were speaking to my girls Paige, Stephanie, and Ashley, and any descendant they have (particularly Nicole, Joey, Matthew, Dylan, Julianne, and Lizzie, who know me as “Papou”). And to anyone who wants to consider me a spiritual Dad or “Papou.” I want them to be able to study the Bible with Papou (grandpa in Greek) after I’m gone---and if they don’t, I’ll haunt them. The Scriptures say it’s noble to “search the Scriptures daily” to verify truth like the ancient Bereans did (Acts 17:11). My folks came from Berea. My incredible Dad (and your grandfather and great grandfather, guys), Vasil Charles Valekis taught me to do this like he did---every day until I die. He taught me and everyone I know to go to church no matter what and to put God first. While Mama (Maria Pagona Stratakis Valekis) never really did this, she made sure we listened to Daddy on this one. She would have hit us with a spatula or frying pan or worse if we didn’t.

  • Chapter 8 the Story of Sacrifice
    8 - Story of Sacrifice In chapter five we explored Mimetic Realism which included the processes that lead to the ancient practice of sacrifice. Sacrifice has its origin in prehistoric times, long before the invention of writing. It is therefore not surprising that the scriptures do not pretend to give us a historically accurate account of how or why sacrifice began. It simply assumes that sacrifice was part of human practice since the very beginning, as shown by the story of Cain and Abel. In the previous chapter we saw how Israel was born through a struggle with gods and men, how it shared the same polytheistic heritage as its neighbors, but started moving into a whole new direction. My intention with this chapter is to show that human sacrifices formed part of early Israelite religion. Their conception of the function and value of sacrifice begins just like any other nation but then follows a path of dramatic transformation. The practice of human sacrifice was later condemned as their theology developed. The story of sacrifice in the Hebrew Bible is a dynamic and changing one - we will attempt to trace its path of development. Human Sacrifice As with their neighbors, Israel believed in the power of sacrifice. The more valuable the sacrifice, the more effective it would be. As such, the ultimate sacrifice was human sacrifice. Despite later condemnation of the practice, it is clear that human sacrifice was in fact part of their early history. The recurring theme of a beloved son, given up as dead and then received back, alive again, is found throughout the scriptures.

  • Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead
    Ezekiel Commentary-Daniel Woodhead The Book of Ezekiel INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL August 23, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Old Testament book of the Jewish Prophet Ezekiel is one of the so-called Major Prophets in the Christian Bible because of its length. The other four are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations and Daniel. The twelve so-called Minor Prophets follow these. They are designated minor due to their length. Therefore all the prophetic books are collected together in the Christian Bible. The Hebrew Bible, which is called the Tenach, arranges the books in a different order and assigns the Book of Ezekiel to third position in the category called the Latter Prophets (Hebrew, Neve’em). The other Later Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah and the Twelve Prophets. The Jewish Talmud arranges the sequence of the books of the Latter Prophets to follow a chronological order. Beginning with Jeremiah, which is primarily concerned with the prophecies of Israel’s destruction following the narrative of the books of Kings. Ezekiel, which begins with destruction, ends with the consolation of the Messianic Kingdom. Isaiah follows that and is almost all concerned with prophecies of consolation.

    MX 7329917 0 ý1lot), Word. and Spirit in Ezekiel A thesis submittedto Middlesex University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JamesEdward Robson Oak Hill College Middlesex University July 2004 1 ABSTRACT Two fundamental experiencesof Yahweh in the Old Testament are an encounter with the `word' of Yahweh and an encounterwith the `spirit' or `wind' or `breath' (rüah) of Yahweh. This thesis explores `word', raah, and their relationship in the book of Ezekiel. It argues that the relationship between Yahweh's rüah and Yahweh's word is to be understood not so much in terms of the inspiration and authentication of the prophet but in terms of the transformation of the book's addressees. According to the dominant paradigm for explaining the emphasis on rfiab and its relation to Yahweh's word within the book of Ezekiel, the prophet Ezekiel is recovering from the pre-classical prophets, or even pioneering, an emphasis on rfiab in prophecy that is conspicuously absent from the classical, writing prophets. This reading interprets the emphasis on rfiab in Ezekiel in terms of the self-authentication of the ministry of the prophet. This thesis examines the relationship between rfiab and prophecy in Ezekiel and in the rest of the Old Testament, and shows that the dominant paradigm requires modification. The emphasis on Yahweh's rfiab in Ezekiel, even the `prophetic spirit', is best understood in relation to the book's concern for the transformation of its addressees. The prophet Ezekiel's experience of Yahweh's rfiab and his own obedience to Yahweh's call are clearly contrastedwith the disobedienceof the prophet's addressees in order to present Ezekiel as a model for the addresseesof the book.
