  • 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.

  • HAGGAI 1) 1:1 – Haggai Was Probably 14 Years Old at the Time of the Destruction of the Temple in 586 BC, So Would Have Been 80
    HAGGAI 1) 1:1 – Haggai was probably 14 years old at the time of the destruction of the Temple in 586 BC, so would have been 80 in 520 when he started his campaign to rebuild the Temple, 17 years after return from exile. He was a very important man, son of Pedaiah. the grandson of Jehoiachin, who was a grandson of Josiah. /// Several psalms, esp 38, are attributed to Haggai. /// Zerubbabel means “offspring of Babylon.” He was born there and with Cyrus’s blessing led the first band of captives back to Jerusalem. He started to rebuild the Temple but for 17 years was prevented by the angry Samaritans (Ezra 3:2-8.) Zerubbabel was born ç 570, in direct line from David, 20 generations later. 2) 1:2 – “Haggai” is related to the Hebrew stem meaning “make a pilgrimage.” It is not known whether he was a returnee from Babylon or had remained behind in Jerusalem. 3) 1:2,5,7,9; 2:4,11,23 – The repetitive use of “Lord of hosts” reflects the thought that though the Lord will be honored by the rebuilding of the Temple, he will never again be limited to it. 4) 1:12 – The scene shifts to three weeks later (see 2:15). /// The phrase “the people feared the Lord” might be better translated as “the people stood in awe of the Lord.” 5) 2:3-4 – Haggai is addressing the people who never left Palestine and who are not pleased with what they see of the rebuilding of the Temple.

  • 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.

  • Haggai 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Haggai 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this prophetic book is also probably the name of its writer.1 Pieter Verhoef mentioned another possibility: "Koole … compares the way other prophetic books originated, and concludes that Haggai, like Jeremiah, probably dictated his own notes to one or two of his disciples. This procedure would account for the third person, the brevity of the record, and the peculiar use of the formula or revelation."2 Haggai referred to himself as simply "the prophet Haggai" (1:1; et al.) We know nothing about Haggai's parents, ancestors, or tribal origin. His name apparently means "festal" or possibly "feast of Yahweh." This is appropriate since much of what Haggai prophesied deals with millennial blessings. His name is a form of the Hebrew word hag, meaning "feast." This has led some students of the book to speculate that Haggai's birth may have occurred during one of Israel's feasts.3 Ezra mentioned that through the prophetic ministries of Haggai and Zechariah, the returned Jewish exiles resumed and completed the restoration of their temple (Ezra 1See R. K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 944-48; E. J. Young, Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 267-69; G. L. Archer Jr., A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, pp. 407-8; H. E. Freeman, An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophets, pp. 326-32. 2Pieter A. Verhoef, The Books of Haggai and Malachi, p. 13. His reference is to J. L. Koole, Haggai, p. 9. 3E.g., Joyce G.

  • TIME to REBUILD! Part Two: “Fresh Fire” Haggai 1:12-15 Whenever We
    TIME TO REBUILD! Part Two: “Fresh Fire” Haggai 1:12-15 Whenever we sing as a congregation, we’re doing more than meshing words and music together. We are communicating truth. We are conveying concepts about God that have tremendous implications for our everyday life. In his book, The Knowledge of the Holy, A. W. Tozer wrote, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”1 Tozer went on to say, Were we able to extract from any man a complete answer to the question, “What comes into your mind when you think about God?” we might predict with certainty the spiritual future of that man. Were we able to know exactly what our most influential religious leaders think about God today, we might be able with some precision to foretell where the Church will stand tomorrow. A right conception of God is basic not only to systematic theology but to practical Christian living as well. It is to worship what the foundation is to the temple; where it is inadequate or out of plumb the whole structure must sooner or later collapse.2 This is where our lives converge with the people of Haggai’s day. To rebuild the temple, they had to reorder their priorities. To reorder their priorities, they had to regain a right conception of God and relate that to their everyday life. Let’s quickly review the historical setting, because it helps us to understand the text and how it applies to us. After the reigns of David and Solomon around 1,000 B.C., civil war broke out, and the nation of Israel split into two kingdoms – the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah).

  • Haggai and Zechariah 1-8: Diarchic Model of Leadership in a Rebuilding Phase
    http://scriptura.journals.ac.za/ Scriptura 102 (2009), pp. 579-593 HAGGAI AND ZECHARIAH 1-8: DIARCHIC MODEL OF LEADERSHIP IN A REBUILDING PHASE Danie O’Kennedy Old and New Testament University of Stellenbosch Abstract Yahwists in the post-exilic community in Jerusalem envisioned their future in diverse ways. The books of Haggai and Zechariah 1-8 emphasize that in a rebuilding phase God does not merely use a holy place but also special leaders. These books advocate a diarchic model of leadership in which the responsibilities are shared by a religious leader (Joshua) and a political leader (Zerubbabel). This article focuses on this diarchic model of leadership and offers possible responses to the following questions: What do we know of these two leaders? Why did Joshua need purification (Zech 3)? Who was the most influential leader or was there a balance of leadership? Was there conflict between these leaders? The article concludes with a comparison between the diarchic model of leadership in the post-exilic community in Jerusalem and leadership in the first years of a new democratic South Africa. Keywords: Haggai, Zechariah 1-8, Joshua, Zerubbabel, Leadership Introduction Birch et al. (1999:423-424) discuss the diverse ways in which Yahwists in the post-exilic community1 envisioned their future. According to them Haggai, Ezekiel 40-48 and Zechariah 1-8 (either Proto-Zechariah or First Zechariah)2 present the most concrete options. Ezekiel’s restoration vision represents a belief that Israel should be a hierocracy, a nation ruled by priests. Haggai seems to believe in the restoration of the Davidic monarchy through Zerubbabel, a member of the Davidic house.

  • 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.
