By making the context of the Feast of Tabernacles explicit, teachers can help students better understand Jesus Christ’s declarations in John 7–8 and the miracle he performs in John 9 so they can have greater faith in him and the power of his Atonement.2 Overview of the Feast of Tabernacles Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles noted, “It appears to have been our Lord’s deliberate design to dramatize the great truths relative to himself by associating them with the religious and social practices then prevailing.”3 Our students will likely miss the deliberate 109 110 Religious Educator · vol.

  • Isaiah Chapter 12
    Isaiah Chapters 12 & 13 page 1 of 7 M.K. Scanlan Isaiah Chapter 12 • Isaiah is describing the Millennial kingdom where God is gathering His people back to Israel from the four corners of the world, and the fact that Israel will once again dominate her previous adversaries. • Continuing in that description: V: 1 “In that day,” describing the Millennium, the Millennial kingdom. • There will be great rejoicing, praising the Lord, thanking the Lord – great thankfulness for the mercy, grace, and forgiveness, that He has extended to the nation. • Israel has gone through a long time of being set aside by God, because of their rejection of Him, because they rejected the Messiah, Jesus. • Remember the prophet Azariah counseled king Asa and the nation of Israel: 2 Chronicles 15:2 “… the Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.” • God will once again be dealing with Israel. During the time of “Jacob’s trouble” - during the great tribulation the Anti-Christ will be persecuting them and their hearts will be turned back to God. They will realize their mistake in rejecting Jesus and will begin to pray “Oh Jesus come!” Zechariah 13:6 “And one shall say unto Him, what are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” Zechariah 12:10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Sprit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they have pierced.

  • Isaiah 62:1-5 Every So Often We Hear the Rumors That Jesus Was Married
    Sermon Lesson: Isaiah 62:1-5 Every so often we hear the rumors that Jesus was married. A number of years ago, there was a bestselling book and a hit movie in which Jesus was secretly married to Mary Magdalene. Supposedly, they had a child, whose bloodline still exists today and the church has covered it up for centuries. It’s just not true. The Bible gives no indication that Jesus was married, but plenty of evidence to the contrary. It’s not that Jesus took a vow of celibacy thinking that it’s more pleasing to God to remain single than to get married. From Bethlehem, he had the world’s salvation in mind and wouldn’t be distracted from that goal. But that doesn’t mean Jesus looked down on marriage, either. He took time out of his busy schedule to attend the wedding at Cana and blessed it with his first miracle. Throughout Scripture he pictures his relationship with his people as that of a husband and wife. Today, through Isaiah, the Lord tells us that he Takes Pride in his Bride. She is the crown of his splendor and is called by a new name. Isaiah gives us the maiden name of Christ’s bride: “Zion and Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, of course, was the capital city of Israel and the home of God’s temple. Zion was one of the hills on which Jerusalem was built. With unbridled enthusiasm the Lord declares that he “will not keep silent” about the righteousness and purity of his people. His beautiful bride shines like a gorgeous sunrise or like a blazing torch cutting through the darkness of night.

  • A Song of Thanksgiving
    SPECIAL SESSION A Song of Thanksgiving Summary and Goal The prophet Isaiah recorded a song of thanksgiving inspired by God that the people of God would one day sing to His honor and glory. On account of His mercy and salvation promised and eventually delivered in His Son, Jesus Christ, we thank God, enjoy His gifts, and proclaim His greatness to every person and in every place. Gratitude to the Lord for salvation leads to public proclamation of His glory. Main Passage Isaiah 12:1-6 Session Outline 1. Thank the Lord for His mercy and comfort (Isa. 12:1-2). 2. Take joy together in the Lord’s promise of salvation (Isa. 12:3). 3. Proclaim the glory and greatness of God all over the earth (Isa. 12:4-6). Theological Theme Gratitude to the Lord for salvation leads to public proclamation of His glory. Christ Connection Isaiah looked forward to a day when the blessing of God would be experienced afresh by His people and God’s glory would be proclaimed in all the earth. Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, we thank the Lord for His mercy, enjoy His gift of salvation, and commit to spreading the songs of His praise throughout the earth.

  • ISAIAH LESSON 1 Isaiah, in My Opinion, Is the Most Spiritual of The
    ISAIAH LESSON 1 Isaiah, in my opinion, is the most spiritual of the Old Testament books. The man, Isaiah, was a prophet and preacher at the time he wrote this book. Isaiah was prophet during the reign of 5 kings, most of whom were evil. His wife was a prophetess in her own right. Some believe that the word "prophetess" means wife of a prophet, but that is not correct. A person does not become a prophet, or a prophetess, because they are married to a prophet. The office of prophet, or prophetess, is a call from God. You are not called to preach, because your husband preaches. You may be called to preach, but if you are, the call is from God, not because of who you are related to. History tells us that Manasseh had Isaiah tied to two boards and sawn in two. The following Scripture is believed to be in reference to the horrible fate of Isaiah. Hebrews 11:37 "They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;" Isaiah had great reverence for God. He was a serious, spiritual man. He was known as the prophet of redemption. There were more prophecies of the coming Messiah in Isaiah than any other book, except Psalms. The name, "Isaiah", means Salvation of Jehovah, or Jehovah is Salvation. The book of Isaiah contains 66 chapters divided into 39, and 27 the same way the Old and New Testament is divided. The one thing that tells us beyond a doubt that Isaiah, the prophet, wrote all of it, is his use of the title "Holy One of Israel".

  • Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal
    Jeremiah Dr. R. Wade Paschal Jeremiah, p. 2 Dr. Paschal takes us deep into the book of the prophet Jeremiah. One of the strengths of these lessons is the connections that are made throughout the Bible that both place Jeremiah in the Old Testament context, and also thematically as a whole. In the materials, you will find timelines, backgrounds, and cross-references that provide you the teacher a wealth of knowledge in which to teach from. There are more materials in each lesson, then you could possibly teach in a normal session, so you the teacher will have to make tough decisions on what to cut out in the materials. As with most teaching, one of the hardest decisions that you will make is what not to say or teach. Dr. Paschal also provides some questions that you can use to help people go deeper into the text. If you are looking for an orderly book, Jeremiah is not it, so the thematic based approach that Dr. Paschal uses is very helpful to understand the big concepts. Please familiarize yourself with the Historical overview in lesson one, which I found to be extremely helpful. Here is an overview of the lessons. Lesson 1: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part One Lesson 2: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part Two Lesson 3: The Life and Times of Jeremiah, Part Three Lesson 4: The Prayers of Jeremiah Lesson 5: The Failure of Leadership Lesson 6: The Problem of Sin Lesson 7: The Return of Israel after 70 Years Lesson 8: Messiah and Future Salvation Jeremiah, p.

  • FORGOTTEN PLANTATION ARCHITECTURE of BURKE COUNTY, GEORGIA by PHILIP MILLS HERRINGTON (Under the Direction of Mark Reinberger) A
    FORGOTTEN PLANTATION ARCHITECTURE OF BURKE COUNTY, GEORGIA by PHILIP MILLS HERRINGTON (Under the Direction of Mark Reinberger) ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to document the existence, appearance, and (if applicable) destruction of pre-1861 plantation residences within the antebellum boundaries of Burke County (including the upper portion of Jenkins County, established 1905). A poor rate of survival, shortage of records, and absence of significant research has allowed for the majority of these structures to fall from human memory. Much of the information found in these pages was the product of extensive research through primary sources, including several newspapers (with dates surveyed): the Augusta Chronicle (1800-1865), Waynesboro True Citizen (1882-1938), Waynesboro Expositor (1872-1873), Waynesboro News (1858-1859), and Waynesboro Independent South (1860-1863), as well as diaries, military records, and personal papers. It is hoped the result will serve the cause of preservation by providing a context for the interpretation of plantation dwellings and by advocating the conservation of surviving structures.

  • A Study on Jeremiah 23:5-6 and 33:14-16
    1 A Study on Jeremiah 23:5-6 and 33:14-16 King James Version Jer 23: 5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-6 has been used by both Trinitarians and Oneness proponents as prove that "Jesus is God," or more properly "Yeshua is Yahweh." They reason that (1) this is a Messianic prophecy referencing the coming Davidic Messiah, and (2) he is called by the name Yahweh. Their conclusion is that he (the Messiah) must be Yahweh seeing he is here called Yahweh. It is interesting to note that in the KJV rendition of the verse (Jer. 23:6) we read the following in the English translation: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. It seems to me that the translators have used capitalization to emphasize their belief that this is focusing in upon "Jesus" being Yahweh. There is however a very similar passage found in the same book of prophecy in Jeremiah 33:15-16. In this text we find that the exact same name is spoken of (Hebrew = Yahweh Tzidkenu; KJV English = The LORD our righteousness), yet in this instance it is not all capitalized as in Jeremiah 23:6. Here is the text from the KJV: Jer 33:14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
