In captivity, Daniel served without compromise under the administrations of several kings, including Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius. Author 3.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hosea an Inspiring Quote the Book of Hosea Who Wrote This Book?
    Hosea The prophet Hosea in the 8th century BCE protested violently against Israelite religious practices. An inspiring quote “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6). The Book of Hosea Hosea came from the north and preached at the same time as Amos. He discovered the tenderness of God through personal experience. He loved his wife, although she behaved badly towards him; through his love he succeeded in restoring to her the feelings she had had when she was young. This is how God loves us: not because we are good, but so that we can become good (Hosea 1-3). The book begins with God’s command to Hosea to marry an unfaithful wife who he loved passionately and the first few chapters describe what happened when he did so. Chapter 4 onwards contains a range of messages from God via Hosea, first to the people of Israel (chapters 4-11) and then to the people of Israel and Judah (chapters 11-14), about the anger God felt because of their betrayal of him through injustice, corruption and their worship of other gods. Woven between these messages of doom are some messages of hope, pointing to what God’s people can look forward to beyond the times of trouble. Who wrote this book? The author is announced as Hosea in verses 1:1-2. He was a prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Hosea, in Hebrew, means salvation but Hosea is popularly termed “the prophet of doom”.

  • Review of Tim Meadowcroft, Haggai. Readings: a New Biblical Commentary (Sheffield: Sheffield Phoenix Press, 2006)
    BOOK REVIEWS REVIEW OF TIM MEADOWCROFT, HAGGAI. READINGS: A NEW BIBLICAL COMMENTARY (SHEFFIELD: SHEFFIELD PHOENIX PRESS, 2006) Christine Mitchell, St. Andrew’s College, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada One might wonder how a commentary on a book of only two chapters could consume 259 pages. Indeed, most recent commentaries on Haggai have been part of a larger book. However, when Haggai is read as (almost) a part of Zechariah, the particular emphases of Haggai are easy to gloss over. This commentary by Tim Meadowcroft of the Bible College of New Zealand, having the luxury of treating Haggai on its own, reveals the book in its own right. The next time I teach these books, I will be using this commentary as my textbook for Haggai, and as a thorough yet accessible introduction to the process of reading. The book begins with a methodological introduction of 40 pages, entitled ‘Prolegomena: Reading Haggai as Scripture.’ Meadowcroft notes that this introduction might be read after reading the commentary proper (p. 3, n. 8); this is an interesting suggestion. As I read the book beginning with this chapter then moving to the commentary, I read the commentary in light of the methodological considerations laid out in this introduction. The connections are not always made explicit, which led me to wonder how these detailed considerations may be found in the commentary proper. However, if the commentary were to be read first, followed by the method- ological introduction, it might have the effect of elucidating what had already been read. Since a first reading can only be done once, I cannot test this hypothesis myself, but recommend other readers attempt this test, and so I will discuss this chapter later in this review.

  • HAGGAI in the CONTEXT of IMMANUEL, “God with Us” Pray As You
    HAGGAI in the CONTEXT of IMMANUEL, “God With Us” WOW, Spring 2021 LEADER’S GUIDE AND ADDED INFO FOR HELP IN GUIDING SMALL GROUP/PARTICIPANT WORK WEEK #3 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 6:3 ...”Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory!” Pray as you begin your study at home or in your small group (over the phone or other “virtual” gathering with a few or even just one WOW sister during these weird days Covid). HELPFUL HINT for LEADER: This week’s passages is a study in contrasts between King Uzziah and the prophet Isaiah. A contrast between the king of Judah who, like his father and grandfather before him, started off well, served God’s people well and then failed near the end of their lives and Isaiah who was surprised by God’s calling in the middle of a pretentious, a wealthy and self-righteous kingdom who outlasts kings and enemies and finishes well in God’s eye. Keep this contrast in mind and help your small group focus on these two men juxtaposed before God and help accountable for their faith and work. IDEA for an “ice-breaker” to begin the study while some may still be trickling in is to ask the group, to think about a time they felt “overwhelmed” in a service of worship with both a sense of unworthiness in the presence of God’s love and, at the same time, a sense of joy for the Savior and salvation. As them to recall, if possible, the Scripture or singing or......what that led you to this unexpected experience.
