  • Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth
    Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth THROUGH DR. DANIEL G. SAMUELS This online version published by Divine Truth, USA http://www.divinetruth.com/ version 1.0 Introduction to the Online Edition For those already familiar with the messages received through James Padgett , the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received through Mr. Padgett. Samuels’ mediumship differed from Padgett’s in that it is much more filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the “broad strokes” that Padgett’s mediumship painted with. However, with this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true that we have found factual as well as conceptual errors in some of Samuel’s writings. There are also a number of passages where the wording is perhaps not as clear as we would have wished – where it appears that there was something of a “tug-of-war” going on between Samuels’ and Jesus’ mind. In upcoming editions we will attempt to notate these passages, but for now the reader is advised (as always) to read these messages with a prayerful heart, asking that their Celestial guides assist them in understanding the true intended meaning of these passages. The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels’ mediumship: Received through KS 6-10-92 I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means.

  • (Does Not) Know(S) Us: an Intertextual Dialogue in the Book of Isaiah
    Terblanche, “Abraham (does not) know(s) us,” OTE 24/1 (2011): 255-283 255 Abraham (Does not) Know(s) Us: An Intertextual Dialogue in the Book of Isaiah MARIUS D. TERBLANCHE (UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE ) ABSTRACT The stance towards Abraham in Isaiah 63:16 seems to be at odds with the high esteem in which Abraham is held in the other texts in the book of Isaiah which explicitly mention him, and other exilic and post-exilic texts. This state of affairs points to an intertextual dialo- gue between the Abraham texts in the book of Isaiah. The proper name Abraham acts as a signal which alerts a reader to the inter- textual relationship. Isaiah 63:16 displaces 29:22, 41:8 and 51:2 from their positions of authority. Trust in Yahweh himself was the only option for the people. A INTRODUCTION Abraham was particularly held in high esteem in exilic and early post-exilic times. 1 The people’s assertion in Isaiah 63:16a that Abraham does not know them and that Israel does not acknowledge them, is therefore astonishing. The prophet Ezekiel criticises the people remaining in the land after the deportation in 597 B.C.E. for substantiating their claim to the land through a typological alignment with Abraham. 2 Since Abraham was only one man when the land was given to him, the people remaining in the land believed that, although they were few, they could lay claim to the land. 3 The post-exilic prayer in Nehemiah 94 regards God’s promise to Abraham as foundational for hope for salvation in 1 The seven explicit allusions to Abraham in the prophetic corpus all occur in exilic or post-exilic texts, namely Isa 29:22; 41:8; 51:2; 63:16; Jer 33:26; Ezek 33:24; Mic 7:20.

  • The Canonical Function of Isaiah 13-14 A
    Word & World Volume XIX, Number 2 Spring 1999 Serving Notice on Babylon: The Canonical Function of Isaiah 13-14 A. JOSEPH EVERSON California Lutheran University Thousand Oaks, California OR WELL OVER A GENERATION, THE PREMISE HAS BEEN WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT chapters 40-66 of the Isaiah scroll are a later expansion of earlier material found in Isaiah 1-39. This view is so prominent that the terms First Isaiah, Second Isaiah, and/or Third Isaiah are readily used in theological conversation, in seminary catalogs, course offerings, and in standard commentary and monograph titles. At no point in the scroll of Isaiah are the problems with these distinctions more apparent than in Isaiah 13-14. Here within the very heart of “First Isaiah,” we encounter poetry that is unambigu- ously addressed to Babylon, anticipating the downfall of that empire. How are we to understand the poetry in chapters 13-14? Do these chapters consist of small units which once had meaning in the eighth-century world?1 Were 1R. E. Clements, Isaiah 1-39 (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1980) 129-138, discerns five originally separate units within chapter 13; he contends that in three, Babylon was originally Yahweh’s instrument of destruction (13:2-3; 4-5; and 6-8). Only in the fifth originally separate unit (17-22) does Clements see the poem revised to be a word against Babylon. For an interpretation of the entire chapter against the eighth-century background, see J. R. Hayes and S. A. Irvine, Isaiah, the Eighth Century Prophet (Nashville: Abingdon, 1987). A. JOSEPH EVERSON is professor and chair of the department of religion at California Lutheran University.

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has Be Comforted been completed, that her sin has been Pardoned paid for, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins. Isaiah 40:1–2 NIV A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the Be Prepared rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5 And the glory of the LORD will be Providence revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 40:3–5 NIV A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?” “All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field. 7 The grass withers and the flowers fall, Be Assured because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass. 8 The Promise grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40:6–8 NIV You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!” 10 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and Be at Rest he rules with a mighty arm.

    2 Nephi 12-24: Chapter Summeries 2 Nephi 12: The fall and restoration of Judah is promised, with emphasis upon the latter days: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains" (v.2). The need for repentance and humility is also stressed (vs. 9, 11, 17). The day of judgment will humble all men (v.19). Compare Isaiah 2 for important differences between Isaiah in the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon. See Bible Dictionary "Dead Sea Scrolls," "Italics, " "Masoritic Text," "Spetuagint," "Ship." 2 Nephi 13: The men of Judah will be taken into captivity after a period of anarchy and oppression. Vain daughters of Zion will be humbled through a great catastrophe. Read 2 Chr. 27- 28. See Bible Dictionary "Adultery," "Idol," "Baal," "Groove," "High Places," This chapter is quoted in Isaiah 3. 2 Nephi 14: A continuation of chapter 3 that stresses the last days and the purging of sins. (Compare Mal 3.) "And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach" (v.1). The Lord's presents a cloud by day and a fire by night to be over Mount Zion or Moriah (vs.5-6). See Bible Dictionary "Marriage," "Family." This chapter is quoted in Isaiah 4. 2 Nephi 15: A parable of the vineyard. This chapter contains elements of both the fall of Israel and the latter-day restoration of Jacob.

  • Feast of Tabernacles.Pdf
    The Feast of Tabernacles is one of the most joyous feasts of all of the LORDS feasts it is also known as the feast of the ingathering of the harvest we read in Deuteronomy 16:14-15 and you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son, and your daughter, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow within your gates, 7 days you shall keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD shall choose, because the LORD your God shall bless you in all your increase and in all the works of your hands, therefore you shall surely rejoice. To the Jews these fall feasts focus on the Lord as our creator judge and the One Who atones for our sins the time of Sukkoth or the feast of tabernacles is a time when they celebrate all that the LORD has done for them prophetically they believe as we do that this feast pictures OLAM HABA meaning the world to come and the 1000 year millennial kingdom age they also believe that IF LORD Jesus was born at or during Succoth then another prophetic meaning of the Word became flesh and tabernacled amongst us would be true. We read in John 1:14 and the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us, and we ourselves beheld His Glory, the glory of the only begotten with the Father, full of grace and truth. I still have the belief that Jesus being the Lamb of God would have to fulfil the role of that sacrificial Lamb being born when and where the Passover sacrificial Lambs were born so that He would fulfil the Passover Lamb’s role to the letter as recorded in the bible.

  • FST14.The Forerunner Message in Isaiah 41-42.Study Notes.171208
    INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER UNIVERSITY – MIKE BICKLE FORERUNNER STUDY TRACK: THE FORERUNNER MESSAGE IN ISAIAH 1-45 Session 14 The Forerunner Message in Isaiah 41-42 I. INTRODUCTION A. Isaiah spoke this to the people of Judah sometime before the Assyrians invaded the land in 701 BC. Isaiah 41 and 42 go together. Most commentators would agree to that. It is one big topic covered over two chapters. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be the word, justice. Now you know that Isaiah 42 is a famous chapter. It is one of the famous Isaiah chapters where the Messiah comes and establishes justice in the nations of the world. Isaiah 41 is leading up to the great justice chapter of Isaiah 42. Like many of the other chapters, Isaiah spoke this message to the people of Judah, to the southern kingdom, some time before the great Assyrian invasion of which the nation was fearful because the Assyrians, the super power of that day, were coming down to Judah, surrounding them, and destroying the cities. However, Isaiah 41-42 is far more about the generation that the Lord returns, though it did help the people in Isaiah’s day. They did not understand there was a big storyline where billions of people would be on the earth in the generation when God transitions the earth to the age to come. That is where the ultimate lessons of Isaiah 41-42 are really applied in a global way. So we have the outline here: B. Outline for Isaiah 41-42 41:1-7 The Lord controls human history 41:8-16 The Lord will help Israel 41:17-20 The Lord will supernaturally help Israel return to the land 41:21-29 The powerlessness of false gods 42:1-4 God’s Servant will establish justice in the nations 42:5-9 God’s Servant will give light to the nations 42:10-17 The end-time prayer movement and Jesus’ second coming 42:18-25 God’s discipline of Israel C.

LeFevre JUDAH’S SINS (5) Chapter 5 stands alone and concludes the introductory celebration of Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles where the section of the book.
