He lived in a Father Pothin will give the Blessing of Throats prior to his Sermon today. period of spiritual drought, but he believed God and waited for the Consolation. Please see bulletin insert. A holy longing for God helps us remains alert in the face of every attempt to Today’s Assigned Readings reduce and impoverish our life. A holy longing for God is the memory of faith that keeps hope alive in the community of believers, which from week to week The Collect BCP pg 231 continues to plead: “Come, Lord Jesus”. This same longing led the elderly The Old Testament KJV Bible / Bulletin Insert Simeon to go up each day to the Temple, certain that his life would not end (Isaiah 61) before he had held the Savior in his arms. This longing led the Prodigal Son to abandon his self-destructive lifestyle and to seek his father’s mercy. This was The Epistle BCP pg 232 the longing felt by the shepherd who left the ninety-nine sheep in order to seek (Malachi 3:1-5) out the one that was lost. Mary Magdalen experienced the same longing on that The Holy Gospel BCP pgs 232-233 Sunday morning when she ran to the tomb and met her risen Master. Longing (St. Luke 2:22-40) for God draws us out of our iron-clad isolation, which makes us think that nothing can change. Longing for God shatters our dreary routines and impels us to make the changes we want and need. Longing for God has its roots in the past yet does not remain there: it reaches out to the future. Believers who feel this longing are led by faith to seek God, as the Magi did, in the most distant corners of history; for they know that there the Lord awaits them. They go to the peripheries, to the frontiers, to places not yet evangelized, to encounter their Lord. THE WHY SERIES Old Testament reading for The Fourth Sunday After Epiphany Isaiah 61:1-11 WHY MARY IS THE BLESSED VIRGIN MOTHER? 1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me Today's Feast of Jesus' Presentation at the temple 40 days after his birth marks a to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the special moment in the life of the Holy Family: Mary and Joseph, in accordance brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to with Mosaic law, took the tiny Jesus to the temple of Jerusalem to offer him to the them that are bound; Lord (cf.

  • Heavenly Priesthood in the Apocalypse of Abraham
    HEAVENLY PRIESTHOOD IN THE APOCALYPSE OF ABRAHAM The Apocalypse of Abraham is a vital source for understanding both Jewish apocalypticism and mysticism. Written anonymously soon after the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple, the text envisions heaven as the true place of worship and depicts Abraham as an initiate of the celestial priesthood. Andrei A. Orlov focuses on the central rite of the Abraham story – the scapegoat ritual that receives a striking eschatological reinterpretation in the text. He demonstrates that the development of the sacerdotal traditions in the Apocalypse of Abraham, along with a cluster of Jewish mystical motifs, represents an important transition from Jewish apocalypticism to the symbols of early Jewish mysticism. In this way, Orlov offers unique insight into the complex world of the Jewish sacerdotal debates in the early centuries of the Common Era. The book will be of interest to scholars of early Judaism and Christianity, Old Testament studies, and Jewish mysticism and magic. ANDREI A. ORLOV is Professor of Judaism and Christianity in Antiquity at Marquette University. His recent publications include Divine Manifestations in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2009), Concealed Writings: Jewish Mysticism in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha (2011), and Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology (2011).

    LXV. Genesis in Biblical Perspective The Gospel of Christ from Genesis “The Life of Joseph #9—Reality Christianity” Genesis 43 Dr. Harry L. Reeder III Let’s look at the text in the last study in order to understand the text for this study. This is where the sons of Jacob are coming back from the emissary, Pharaoh and in fact it was their brother whom they did not recognize, who has Simeon their brother, now in captivity. They have met with their father and given him their report. Genesis 42:35–38 says [35] As they emptied their sacks, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid. [36] And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin. All this has come against me.” [37] Then Reuben said to his father, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.” [38] But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.” The grass withers, the flower fades, this is the Word of our God, it abides forever, and may His Word be preached for you.

  • 1 Simeon Polotskii and the Origins of the Russian Tradition of the Writer As Prophet Глас Пророческ Исполни
    Simeon Polotskii and the Origins of the Russian Tradition of the Writer as Prophet Глас пророческ исполнися (The prophetic voice has been fulfilled) Simeon Polotskii (1678)1 ce poète n’est pas un personnage à être oublié, car je me souviens d’avoir lu quelque part qu’on lui attribue certaines prophéties et que ses prédictions de Pierre le Grand se sont réellement accomplies. Il n’est pas surprenant qu’il eût été un bon prophète, car l’imagination des poètes avait si souvent contribué à notre bonheur, que la superstition veut réaliser et que le bon esprit approuve. I. F. Bogdanovich (before 1772)2 Few would dispute the central importance of the image of the writer as a figure of prophetic authority in the development of Russian literary tradition. And yet, curiously little research I would like to express my gratitude to the anonymous reviewers for Modern Language Review for their helpful suggestions for this article. 1 The first line of the poem, in Simeon Polockij, Rifmologion: Eine Sammlung höfisch- zeremonieller Gedichte, ed. by Anthony Hippisley, Hans Rothe and Lydia I. Sazonova, vol. 1 (Vienna, Cologne, Weimar: Böhlau, 2013), p. 269. 2 Letter to Ia. Ia. Shtelin (no later than 1772), in G. P. Makogonenko, ed., Pis'ma russkikh pisatelei XVIII veka (Leningrad: Nauka, 1980), p. 249. 1 has been done on the origins of this remarkable phenomenon. If asked to identify its earliest literary manifestations, most readers would point to the period of its widespread adoption in the 1820s, when it first became prominent in the verse of Fedor Glinka, Kiukel'beker and Pushkin.

  • The Town Lists of Judah, Simeon, Benjamin and Dan *) by Z
    THE TOWN LISTS OF JUDAH, SIMEON, BENJAMIN AND DAN *) BY Z. KALLAI-KLEINMANN Jerusalem (Isr.) Ever since ALT published his study "Judas Gaue unter Josia" in 1925 1) it is generally accepted that in the Book of Joshua we have to differentiate between the boundary-system and the town-lists, as there is no conformity between these two sources. ALT'S main conclusion was, that the town-lists of the southern tribes were secon- darily produced by cutting up a single document which originally described the administrative division of the Kingdom of Judah. Although such administrative lists may have had early origins the date reflected in the recompleted document was, in his opinion, that of King Josiah's reign.

Choir: Amen. Come, let us worship and fall down before God our King. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and our God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ Himself, our King and our God. THE PSALM OF INTRODUCTION—PSALM 103 Reader: Bless the Lord, O my soul; O Lord my God, Thou hast been magnified exceedingly. Confession and majesty hast Thou put on, Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, Who stretchest out the heaven as it were a curtain; Who supporteth His chambers in the waters, Who appointeth the clouds for His ascent, Who walketh upon the wings of the winds, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire. Who establisheth the earth in the sureness thereof; it shall not be turned back forever and ever. The abyss like a garment is His mantle; upon the mountains shall the waters stand. At Thy rebuke they will flee, at the voice of Thy thunder shall they be afraid. The mountains rise up and the plains sink down, unto the place where Thou hast established them. Thou appointedst a bound that they shall not pass, neither return to cover the earth. He sendeth forth springs in the valleys; between the mountains will the waters run. They shall give drink to all the beasts of the field; the wild asses will wait to quench their thirst.

  • The Names and Boundaries of Eretz-Israel (Palestine) As Reflections of Stages in Its History
    THE NAMES AND BOUNDARIES OF ERETZ-ISRAEL (PALESTINE) AS REFLECTIONS OF STAGES IN ITS HISTORY GIDEON BIGER INTRODUCTION Classical historical geography focuses on research of the boundaries of the various states, along with the historical development of these boundaries over time. Edward Freeman, in his book written in 1881 and entitled The Historical Geography of Europe, defines the nature of historical-geographical research as follows: "The work which we have now before us is to trace out the extent of territory which the different states and nations have held at different times in the world's history, to mark the different boundaries which the same country has had and the different meanings in which the same name has been used." The author further claims that "it is of great importance carefully to make these distinctions, because great mistakes as to the facts of history are often caused through men thinking and speaking as if the names of different countries have always meant exactly the same extent of territory. "1 Although this approach - which regards research on boundaries as the essence of historical geography- is not accepted at present, the claim that it is necessary to define the extent of territory over history is as valid today as ever. It is impossible to discuss the development of any geographical area having political and territorial significance without knowing and understanding its physical extent. Of no less significance for such research are the names attached to any particular expanse. The naming of a place is the first step in defining it politically and historically.

  • Simeon's Proclamation
    SIMEON’S 5 PROCLAMATION What’s something you never thought you’d see happen in your lifetime? QUESTION #1 BIBLE STUDIES FOR LIFE 49 © 2018 LifeWay Christian Resources THE POINT We have a sure hope when we trust in Jesus. Bold. Body 1 bullets. THE BIBLE MEETS LIFE More and more people are buying 3D printers. Far beyond the way old-school printers reproduce words on paper using ink, 3D printers create objects in myriad shapes from various materials. But what if a 3D printer could be used to reproduce, say, a human liver? Researchers are already looking into the possibility. Instead of stacking successive layers of some material to create an object, a “bioprinter” would use a person’s own cell tissue to construct living tissue. In the future, you could receive a transplantable organ with no risk of rejection.1 Far-fetched? Just think how far-fetched a 3D printer once sounded. Or walking around with a hand-held device with a camera, phone, and more computing power than NASA had for the moon landings. We have seen these amazing things in our own lifetimes. The Jewish people had waited for centuries for the Messiah. God had promised He was coming through the prophets, but would it happen in their lifetime? One man in the Bible knew the answer. We don’t know a lot about him, but we know this one thing: he knew he would see the Messiah before he died. 50 SESSION 5 © 2018 LifeWay Christian Resources WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? Luke 2:25-27 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

  • SIMEON PUTMAN South Carolina - Kentucky - Tennessee - Alabama
    UPDATED FEBRUARY 8, 2007 SIMEON PUTMAN South Carolina - Kentucky - Tennessee - Alabama He is a son of the Reverend John Putman and Sarah Howard. Simeon Putman was born in Union County, South Carolina in about 1775-1778. Simeon went to Barren County, Kentucky where he married Peggy Mercer, a daughter of Forester Mercer, on December 15, 1802. He was with his brother, Hiram, in Monroe County, Kentucky for the 1820 census. At that time he had four sons and four daughters. He received a small portion of his father's estate when it was settled in 1824 and was still due some amount in 1826 when the estate was closed out. He appears in the 1830 census as living in Hamilton County, Tennessee. The family then moved in the early 1830s to Alabama. He settled in Randolph County, Alabama. He died there in October 1849. They had four sons and three daughters. I have information on these kids at this time. Two Daughters The first two children were daughters. One born in 1804 and the other in 1806. Another researcher gives the names as SARAH PUTMAN who married Robert Hoge, TESILA PUTMAN who married an Ayers, and MARY PUTMAN who married William Guthrie. Madison DeKalb Putman Madison was born in Monroe County, Kentucky on August 6, 1809. He married Catherine Olivia Davidson on March 26, 1835 in Hamilton County, Tennessee. She was born January 11, 1817 in Georgia. In the mid 1830s, they moved to Randolph County, Alabama where their first four children were born, and then in 1846 moved to Williamson County, Texas where the next four children were born.
