  • Japheth and Balaam
    Redemption 304: Further Study on Japheth and Balaam biblestudying.net Brian K. McPherson and Scott McPherson Copyright 2012 Melchizedek (Shem), Japheth, and Balaam Summary of Relevant Information from Genesis Regarding Melchizedek and Abraham This exploratory paper assumes the conclusions of section three of our “Priesthood and the Kinsman Redeemer” study which identifies Melchizedek as Noah’s son Shem. Melchizedek was priest of Jerusalem (Salem) and possibly of the region in general. Shem was granted dominion over all the Canaanites by Noah. Genesis 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. Melchizedek is clearly presented as a king. And Abraham clearly pays tithes or tribute to this king after a victory in battle. Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand.

  • Genesis 35-37 Let Us Do a Quick Review of What Has Happened Thus Far
    P a g e | 1 Genesis 35-37 Let us do a quick review of what has happened thus far. Jacob finally breaks free of his Uncle Laban’s scheming. He journeys home to face his brother Esau. But before he encounters his brother, he has a wrestling match with God and loses, and during the fight he realizes who he is up against, and he clung to God and asked for Him to Bless him. God does, and now Jacob’s name is changed to Israel, which means Governed by God. He faces his brother, they make up, and Jacob still a schemer, says I’ll catch up to you bro go ahead. And Jacob goes a different way. He does not go to Bethel, which as we will see tonight should have been his destination, but stops off near Shechem. Well he instead of being the spiritual leader of his household, kind of leaves his children to themselves. Dinah his little princess makes friends with the girls of Shechem. They teach her their provocative ways, and she than catches the eye of the prince Shechem. P a g e | 2 Now in the Canaanite lands the men would not think twice to have sex with whomever they wanted. Especially a prince, he did not know the customs, and morals of Dinah’s people. And he rapes her, and falls in love with her, and wants to marry her. Well then her brothers are infuriated. Simeon and Levi make a scandalous deal with the people of Shechem, if they circumcise every male they will intermarry with them.

  • Genesis Chapter 36
    Genesis Chapter 36 Verses 36:1-43: This chapter lists the wives of Esau (verses 1-3), the sons of Esau (verses 4-5), the enormous wealth (verses 6-8), and the descendants of Esau, and Seir, the Horite. Their families intermarried (verses 9-42). From (36:1-37:1), we see the genealogy of Esau. In verses 1-19: The taking up of the history of Jacob (37:2), the next patriarch, is preceded by a detailed genealogy of Esau, to which is appended both the genealogy of Seir the Horite, whose descendants were the contemporary inhabitants of Edom and a listing of Edomite kings and chiefs. Jacob’s and Esau’s posterities, as history would go on to show, would not be in isolation from each other as originally intended (verses 6-8). They were to become bitter enemies engaged with each other in war. Genesis 36:1 "Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom." "Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom": Who was surnamed Edom, from the red pottage he sold his birthright for to his brother Jacob (Genesis 25:30). An account is given of him, and his posterity, not only because he was a son of Isaac. Lately made mention of as concerned in his burial; but because his posterity would be often taken notice of in the sacred Scriptures, and so their genealogy would serve to illustrate such passages. Maimonides thinks the principal reason is, that whereas Amalek, a branch of Esau's family, were to be destroyed by an express command of God, it was necessary that all the rest should be particularly described, lest they should all perish together.

Among many other hostile acts, it I has attacked Saudi oil infrastructure with cruise missiles and attack drones, damaged oil tankers with sea mines, shot down a United States drone, and captured a British oil tanker. It has also become more blatant in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Iran is the world’s number one terrorist-sponsoring nation. Its leaders have been destabilizing nations across the Middle East for 40 years now. It is a serious threat to the Jewish state and a danger to the world. FROM THE EDITOR Where is Iranian belligerence leading? It is clear that How Iran Will Be Conquered 1 Tehran’s behavior will not be stopped except by force. But who, exactly, will be willing to tackle this nation? Discovered: Nehemiah's Wall 5 We can know. Prophecies in your Bible give a precise answer.

  • Interpretation of the Book of Genesis
    INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS BY FATHER TADROS Y. MALATY Translated by Dr. George Botros 2 3 4 AUTHOR’ S NOTE: The Word of God is the food granted by the Holy Spirit to the Church of Christ, to let her live continually renovated in spiritual youth; practicing no incapacity of old age or perishability. My good Lord gave me the grace, during the last few years, to study the Word of God, as experienced by the fathers of the early Church, as Spirit and Life. I began by going through meditations and interpretations of these fathers, in the hope that we also would live with the Spirit and thought of the early Church; enjoying, by the Holy Spirit, the Word of God active in us, until it raises us up to our heavenly Groom “The divine Word”, who is to come on the clouds, to grant us the fellowship of His glories, and to enter with us into the bosom of His Father, to be eternally with Him in His heavens. If I did not commit myself, in my interpretation, to the order of succession of the books as they come in the Holy Bible; My goal was not to author a comprehensive series of interpretations, but to enter with every soul into the secret place of the Word, and to enjoy Him as an eternal Groom, who fills the heart and mind and all the inner depths.

  • THE BOOK of NEHEMIAH “A Call to Build” Nehemiah 2:17-20 Review 1
    THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH 3. Nehemiah admitted the DIFFICULTIES v. 19 “A Call to Build” Nehemiah 2:17-20 a. Identified The persons of opposition are not ethereal, but substantive. They are: 1) Sanballat the Review Horonite. 2) Tobiah the Ammonite (called “the servant”). 3) Geshem the Arabian ( 1. Our Lord, when He saw a need, did something about it (Mt. 9:35-38). It was so with Nehemiah. ). These three were inveterate opponents to the work of God (cf. 2:10; here; 4:1-3, 9; 6:1ff.; Having heard of the difficulties in Jerusalem, he did something about it (1:3, 4). 13:7). Incredibly, these were relatives of the Jews, hence one must expect opposition from strange sources. 2. First Nehemiah prayed to God (2:4) and then asked Artaxeres the king to send him to Jerusalem to repair the damages (2:5-8). Note: Nehemiah was called of God (1:1-4); walked with God (1:5-11); b. Described talked with God (2:4); acted with God (2:5-8). Four words tell the story: 1) The enemies heard. Any work for God will be “heard.” That is the signal for the enemy to oppose. Rather than cooperate for God’s glory and removal of “reproach” 3. As God’s man, Nehemiah was: authorized (2:9); prepared (3:11); opposed (2:10; involved (1:12- (v. 17) -- oppose. How cruel and incredulous. 2) The enemies laughed ( ). 15). Indeed, Nehemiah enjoyed the essentials to be activated for the service of the Lord. This verb means to scorn, mock, jest or speak in a barbarous foreign tongue (cf.

  • 1 Doctrine of Ishmael 1. Ishmael Was the Firstborn Son of Abraham By
    Doctrine of Ishmael 1. Ishmael was the firstborn son of Abraham by Hagar, an Egyptian maid of his wife Sarah. Abraham was 86 at the time and had lived in Canaan for 11 years. 2. Sarah, the barren wife, in keeping with customs of her times as seen in the Babylonian law code of Hammurabi, gave her slave Hagar to Abraham to produce an heir for the family. 3. When Abraham was 99 God renewed His covenant with him and enjoined circumcision of Ishmael as a sign of his membership in the covenant community. 4. God also announced that He would fulfill the divine promise through his wife Sarah, although Abraham looked on Ishmael with deep affection and prayed that he might be the promised heir (Gen 17:18). Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Gen 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 5. When Ishmael was circumcised, Abraham and his household (those born to the men and women who had grown up in his employ and newcomers to the household through purchase from foreigners) were also circumcised. 5.1 Ishmael was 13 years old at the time of his circumcision. Many Arab tribes still circumcise their youths at the age of 13. 6. Fourteen years after the birth of Ishmael, Isaac was born to Sarah and Abraham. The jealousy that had long separated Sarah from Hagar came to a breaking point at the time of the weaning of Isaac.

  • The Unforgiven Ones
    The Unforgiven Ones 1 God These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.) 9 These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10 These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. 13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.

  • Rethinking the Rechabites Page 1 of 3 Lesson Objective: to Encourage
    Rethinking the Rechabites Page 1 of 3 Lesson Objective: To encourage extreme habits of holiness. Introduction: How many of you are sports fans? Does the name Scott Jurek mean anything to you? Scott Jurek won the Western States 100 seven years in a row. (1999-2005) He won the Badwater twice. (2005-2006) [The Badwater is a 135 mile race death valley in July.] Tonight I want to talk to you about the Scott Jurek of faith. A man who went the distance and left behind him a heritage of faith like no other and yet a surprising number of people know almost nothing about him. His name is Jonadab or Jehonadab the son of Rechab. I. Who were the Rechabites? A. The Rechabites, interestingly enough, were not Israelites. 1. They were Kenites. (1 Chronicles 2:55) 2. The Kenites had come to dwell in Judah when that tribe took the land. Their connection is through Moses who married the daughter of a Kenite, probably Jethro. (Judges 1:16) B. The Patriarch of the family Jonadab (Jehonadab) was known for his zeal for the Lord. (2 Kings 10:15-16) [Jehu began his reign in 641 BC.] C. 230 to 240 years later, Jonadab’s family is noted for their faithfulness. (Jeremiah 35:1-16) [This happened in the reign of Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim ruled from 609 to 598 BC.] 1. A quick summary of Jeremiah 35:1-16. a. You shall not drink wine, you or your sons, forever. b. You shall not build a house. c. You shall not sow seed and you shall not plant a vineyard or own one.

  • 65 John and the Emir a New Introduction, Edition And
    JOHN AND THE EMIR 65 JOHN AND THE EMIR A NEW INTRODUCTION, EDITION AND TRANSLATION* On August 17, 874 a monk named Abraham completed a 99-page Syriac manuscript now housed in the British Library (BL Add. 17,193). Abraham titled his work “a volume of demonstrations, collections, and letters”1 and included in it 125 short pieces ranging from biblical pas- sages and excerpts from church fathers to lists of councils, caliphs, and calamities2. Following a canon of Severus regarding baptism and pre- ceding a list of eighth-century disasters, one finds in this volume three folios (73a-75b) which make up the sole witness to an ancient document that modern scholars have entitled John and the Emir. This document purports to be a letter written by an unnamed com- panion of the seventh-century Miaphysite patriarch of Antioch, John Sedra (r. 631-648). It relates an alleged conversation between the patriarch and an unspecified Muslim leader. In order to reassure its read- ers of John’s safety, the letter describes the patriarch’s audience with the emir. The majority of the text consists of a dialogue between John and the Muslim leader. The emir presents a series of brief questions and John gives more lengthy responses. They discuss the diversity of Christian beliefs, Christ’s divinity, who was controlling the world when Christ was in Mary’s womb, why the Hebrew prophets did not explicitly speak of Jesus, and inheritance law. The narrative interrupts this pattern of question and answer only once in order that the emir might summon a Jew to confirm John’s scriptural citation.
