Outlines of the Bible Outlines of the Bible Pastor Matthew Postiff, Ph.D., Th.M. These outlines can be used by pastors to help establish preaching or teaching sections of each book. They can help any reader in reading of the Bible to see the big picture of the book or section of the Bible as they read it. My goal has been to keep the outlines simple, most often only two or three levels deep. Contents 1.

Outline of Revelation ...............................................................................138 3 Outline of Genesis The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings. The first word in Genesis is the Hebrew (beray’sheet), which means “in the beginning.” The word Pentateuch means “five scrolls” and refers to the five books of Moses, each originally on its own scroll. These books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Genesis was written by Moses, as was the rest of the Pentateuch. There are internal and external arguments for this statement. First, some of the internal arguments: 1) The Pentateuch mentions Mosaic authorship: Exodus 17:14; Deuteronomy 31:9, 24. 2) The author seems to be an eyewitness. Moses was certainly that. Here are some of the external arguments: 1) Traditionally the five books have always been taken together by Jews and Christians to be written by Moses. 2) Other OT books affirm that Moses wrote the Pentateuch: Joshua 1:7, Dan. 9:11-13. 3) Moses was certainly qualified to write the books: Acts 7:22. 4) The NT affirms Moses wrote the Pentateuch: John 5:45-47, 7:22-23, Acts 3:22, Rom. 10:5. 5) The impression is left with the reader of the Bible is that Moses wrote all of the Pentateuch. Brief Outline The key term for outlining the book is “history” or “generations.” It occurs 13 times in the book and marks 10 major divisions. The outline below reflects these divisions by using the word “History” in each outline point. The three “extra” references to the word “generations” are marked. I. Creation .............................................................................................. 1:1-2:3 II. History of Creation through the Fall and Cain and Abel ................. 2:4-4:26 III. History of Adam’s family through the spread of evil ........................ 5:1-6:8 IV. History of Noah through the flood ................................................... 6:9-9:29 V. History of Noah’s Sons, Table of Nations, Tower of Babel .......... 10:1-11:9 VI.

  • Mighty Fortress Sherard Edington
    First Presbyterian Church June 25, 2017 Lebanon, Tennessee Third Sunday of Pentecost MIGHTY FORTRESS SHERARD EDINGTON Isaiah 36:1-10 Vacation Bible School begins tomorrow. I hope you will take a moment to tour the church and enjoy the transformation that has taken place. Our Vacation Bible School theme this year is Mighty Fortress. It plays on the metaphor of a medieval stronghold. As the committee considered different themes I believe they were drawn to this one because, well, have you looked at the exterior of our building lately? We are a castle! We have a tower with battlements. When the invading Visigoths march in from Watertown, we’ll be ready. We’ll lock the doors. We’ll station our archers on the parapets. We’ll have vats of boiling baby oil to pour over anyone who gets too close. We don’t have a moat (that would be nice), but we do have a really good sprinkler system. That should hold them off. When the committee was evaluating themes, this one seemed like a natural fit. This particular Vacation Bible School package is published by the Lutheran Church. Martin Luther, of course, wrote the great hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, which we will sing at the close of the service today. On top of that, this is Martin Luther's year. On October 31st, we will recognize the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther starting the Protestant Reformation when he posted his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany Just so you know, in preparation of this anniversary, I plan to preach a series of sermons in October focusing on the various creeds which were written during the Reformation—creeds which are represented by these banners hanging around us.

  • Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book of the Bible, as is true of the other prophetical books, comes from its writer. The book claims to have come from Isaiah (1:1; 2:1; 7:3; 13:1; 20:2; 37:2, 6, 21; 38:1, 4, 21; 39:3, 5, 8), and Jesus Christ and the apostles quoted him as being the writer at least 21 times, more often than they quoted all the other writing prophets combined. There are also many more quotations and allusions to Isaiah in the New Testament without reference to Isaiah being the writer. Kenneth Hanna wrote that there are more than 400 quotations from or allusions to the Book of Isaiah in the New Testament.1 J. A. Alexander noted that 47 of the 66 chapters of Isaiah are either quoted or alluded to in the New Testament, and that the 21 quotations attributed directly to Isaiah were drawn from chapters 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 29, 40, 42, 53, 61, and 65.2 The only Old Testament book referred to more frequently than Isaiah in the New Testament is Psalms. "It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Isaiah for the Christology of the church."3 The name of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, is the only one connected with the book in any of the Hebrew manuscripts or ancient versions. Josephus, the Jewish historian who wrote at the end of the first century A.D., believed that Isaiah wrote this book.

    The Valley Evangel Serving the Members and Friends of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Scottsdale, Arizona November 2018 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Worship and Study Sunday Divine Service: 9 am (refreshments after the service) Sunday School/Adult Bible Class: 10:30 am Thursday Internet Study Group: 7 pm (ask Pastor Webber for login information) Friday Bible Study: 10 am at the Muth residence Newsletter Staff Editor: Pastor David Jay Webber Contributor: Jennifer Price Distribution: Lexie Morehouse _____________________________________________________________________________________ From the Pastor’s Desk As I write this column at my home office computer on Saturday morning, the news report on the television in the next room is telling me about a horrific mass shooting at a Synagogue in Pittsburgh, where people were gathered for a religious ceremony, by a gunman who was shouting: “All Jews must die.” Yesterday, the news programs were filled with reports about the arrest of a man in Florida who had sent many bomb-like devices in the mail to high-profile Democrats. Within the past year and a half similar incidents have occurred, focused on other groups. A shooter killed 26 worshipers at a Baptist church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, on November 5 of last year. On June 14 of last year, a politically-motivated assailant tried to assassinate the members of the Republican team as they were practicing in Alexandria, Virginia, for a Congressional baseball game. The increase of such incidents of violence or the threat of violence, motivated by religious and political animus, is alarming indeed. Our society has always been characterized by a strong commitment to freedom of speech.
