  • Zephaniah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Zephaniah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of the book comes from the name of its writer. "Zephaniah" means "Yahweh Hides [or Has Hidden]," "Hidden in Yahweh," "Yahweh's Watchman," or "Yahweh Treasured." The uncertainty arises over the etymology of the prophet's name, which scholars dispute. I prefer "Hidden by Yahweh."1 Zephaniah was the great-great-grandson of Hezekiah (1:1), evidently King Hezekiah of Judah. This is not at all certain, but I believe it is likely. Only two other Hezekiahs appear on the pages of the Old Testament, and they both lived in the postexilic period. The Chronicler mentioned one of these (1 Chron. 3:23), and the writers of Ezra and Nehemiah mentioned the other (Ezra 2:16; Neh. 7:21). If Zephaniah was indeed a descendant of the king, this would make him the writing prophet with the most royal blood in his veins, except for David and Solomon. Apart from the names of his immediate forefathers, we know nothing more about him for sure, though it seems fairly certain where he lived. His references to Judah and Jerusalem (1:10-11) seem to indicate that he lived in Jerusalem, which would fit a king's descendant.2 1Cf. Ronald B. Allen, A Shelter in the Fury, p. 20. 2See Vern S. Poythress, "Dispensing with Merely Human Meaning: Gains and Losses from Focusing on the Human Author, Illustrated by Zephaniah 1:2-3," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 57:3 (September 2014):481-99.

  • Our God Is an Awesome God Ezekiel 1:1-28 Pastor Andrew Neville 15/11
    Our God is an Awesome God Ezekiel 1:1-28 Pastor Andrew Neville 15/11/20 Sermon Summary God is worthy of all the praise we could ever give. That is the reason for the short, focused study of Ezekiel’s incredible vision from today’s sermon. Two weeks ago, we studied Habakkuk. A man who battled doubt and fear, yet he was transformed into a man who could face the future, by trusting God. Zephaniah (last week’s study), known as the Fierce Prophet, foretold a fearful judgment coming to Judah, but, that those who turn to God will be saved – and God will delight in them. Ezekiel was a contemporary of both Habakkuk and Zephaniah. While Ezekiel has 48 chapters devoted to his utterances, only chapter 1 was discussed today. Judah’s woes, at the hands of Babylonia, occurred over a period of 20 years. The first invasion in 605 BC saw Daniel and friends carted off to Babylon. In 597 BC, the Babylonians took 10,000 including Ezekiel to Babylon, to a place west of Babylon by the Kebar River. [The Iraqi city of Kabala, contains the burial remains of Ezekiel. The Kebar River may be another name for the Euphrates River or a tributary of it. P.] The final invasion – and total destruction and diaspora – of Jerusalem occurred in 586 BC. Only a remnant of the poor was left behind to forage an existence from the surrounding countryside. Ezekiel states he was 30 years of age (Ez. 1:1), which was the commencement age for a male going into the priesthood.

  • Open Scrolls Project - Bringing the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Internet
    Open Scrolls Project - Bringing the Dead Sea Scrolls to the Internet Open Scrolls Project The Open Scrolls Project is nothing less than an effort to bring all the published texts online in English and available to anyone with an internet connection. The three main English collections of the Dead Sea Scrolls in print are those by Vermes, Martinez, and Wise. These are available in inexpensive paperback, but they may be a burden to obtain in some countries, and it is impossible to perform searches on a printed text. The Open Scrolls Project aims to make the texts freely available and fully searchable. The publishers of the three DSS books mentioned have declined to allow reproduction of their translations, and so the only option available is to make a fresh translation from the original languages, somewhat similar to the successful NET Bible. The texts will be made available under the GNU Free Documentation License, which is a "copyleft" arrangement that allows the texts to be distributed by many web sites. The texts will be published partially, as they are completed. The owner of this web site, Peter Kirby, offers his support with web space for the project and its results as well as technical expertise in programming for the web. I am also coordinating the translation effort at this time. The project needs people willing to do translation for free. Anyone who wishes to help, either with a little or a lot, needs simply to have some working knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek. We will be using both the Discoveries in the Judaean Desert series and The Dead Sea Scrolls Study Edition for the original language documents.

Andrews Honors Thesis Andrews University College of Arts & Sciences Title: THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE EVENTS IN ZECHARIAH 12-14 Author’s Name: Won Jin Jeon Advisor: Rahel Schafer, PhD Completion Date: March 2016 In current scholarship, there is a lack of consensus on the timing of the specific events in Zechariah 12-14, with a focus on eschatological or sequential chronologies. Preliminary exegetical research has revealed many connections between the three chapters. For instance, the occurs 17 times (versus four times in the rest of Zechariah). This (ביום־ההוא) ”phrase “in that day concentrated usage closely interconnects the three chapters and suggests that the timeliness of all of the events is in close succession.

  • What Did King Josiah Reform?
    Chapter 17 What Did King Josiah Reform? Margaret Barker King Josiah changed the religion of Israel in 623 BC. According to the Old Testament account in 2 Kings 23, he removed all manner of idolatrous items from the temple and purified his kingdom of Canaanite practices. Temple vessels made for Baal, Asherah, and the host of heaven were removed, idolatrous priests were deposed, the Asherah itself was taken from the temple and burned, and much more besides. An old law book had been discovered in the temple, and this had prompted the king to bring the religion of his kingdom into line with the requirements of that book (2 Kings 22:8–13; 2 Chronicles 34:14–20).1 There could be only one temple, it stated, and so all other places of sacrificial worship had to be destroyed (Deuteronomy 12:1–5). The law book is easily recognizable as Deuteronomy, and so King Josiah’s purge is usually known as the Deuteronomic reform of the temple. In 598 BC, twenty-five years after the work of Josiah, Jerusalem was attacked by the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:10– 16; 25:1–9); eleven years after the first attack, they returned to destroy the city and the temple (586 BC). Refugees fled south to Egypt, and we read in the book of Jeremiah how they would not accept the prophet’s interpretation of the disaster (Jeremiah 44:16–19). Jeremiah insisted that Jerusalem had fallen because of the sins of her people, but the refugees said it had fallen because of Josiah.

Unfortunately, Adam and Eve did not listen to God and were punished, called the “Fall”. God commanded Adam and Eve to populate the land. From there, we are told about family trees in sections called toledots. We learn about major characters and their families, mostly their sons. God was so upset with sin that He created a flood to destroy almost everything He created on earth. Noah was chosen by God so that he may save his family and other life in the ark that he built. Years later, Abraham was chosen next by God, this time, to create a nation. We learn about Abraham and how his faith was tested. God uses Jacob, Abraham’s grandson, to begin to fulfill the promises made to Abraham.

  • Not So Minor After All Not So Minor After All
    Not So Minor After All Not So Minor After All Define Biblical things in a Biblical way. If this is true, what scripture ever calls these 12 prophets minor? None Luke 24 : 27, 44 “...Moses and all the Prophets…” Twelve Prophets (Aramaic: Trei Asar, "The Twelve"), occasionally Book of the Twelve, is the eighth and last book of the Nevi'im, the second main division of the Jewish Tanakh. The collection is broken up to form twelve individual books in the Christian Old Testament, one for each of the prophets. Not So Minor After All We didn’t understand what they are saying. We do now. We felt there was nothing for us and we didn’t know how to use them. We see now. We felt it would take to long to go through them all. It didn’t just 12 weeks We had a lack of respect to God’s word (Completed Word). We don’t anymore. 12 Prophets Hosea Joel Amos Obadiah Nahum Jonah Habakkuk Micah Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah Malachi 12 Prophets - Nahum ‘nachum’ (h) – comfort ‘nacham’ (h) – properly to sigh; by implication to be sorry, that is, to pity, console Nahum brings comfort. The book of comfort. Nahum 1 – The Lord is good. He reserves wrath, He is slow to anger, He knows those who trust in Him Nahum 2 – The Lord will restore No one will help Nineveh, she will be desolate, I am against you Nahum 3 – Consider No Amon This undefeatable city, was defeated…who can stop Me? 12 Prophets - Habakkuk ‘chabaqquq’ (h) – embrace Habakkuk is a book written from 3 perspectives: Habakkuk asking God where His embrace has gone God revealing His plan to Habakkuk Habakkuk finding comfort in God’s revealed salvation Habakkuk 1 – Two questions for God How long shall I cry, And you not hear? Why do You hold Your tongue? Habakkuk 1/2 – God’s Answers I am sending someone to deal with this.
