From time to time, as new readers are added, it becomes necessary that a word should be given so that the beginner in these studies may not feel himself quite unprovided for. We feel it unnecessary, we are thankful to say, to elaborate the first great fundamental, namely, the absolute inspiration of the original Scriptures, an inspiration extending to the very words and letters. We cannot conceive of any who deny the inspiration of Scripture finding much to their liking in The Berean Expositor. The fundamental that we would lay before the reader just now is contained in II Tim. ii. 15, ―rightly dividing the Word of truth‖. Accepting the Scripture as the Word of truth, we must exercise diligence to ―rightly divide‖ them. This division has special reference to the varying dispensations under which man has been placed. What was true under the dispensation of Law, may be false under the dispensation of Grace. One has only to read such epistles as Romans, or Galatians, to realize how true this is. The differences also that are mentioned as found under the Old Covenant and the New, are emphasized in the epistle to the Hebrews, and II Corinthians iii. & iv. The teaching of the Gospel according to Matthew, with its emphasis upon the gospel of the kingdom of the heavens, is entirely different from the gospel say of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The presence and service of miraculous gifts, as recorded in the Gospels, the Acts, and the early Epistles of Paul, and the absence of such gifts in his prison ministry, demonstrate again the fact that under different dispensations God has been pleased to deal with men in different ways. The hopes of varying periods, too, differ in important details. The hope of Israel was centred in the Personal presence on the earth of the Messiah, and vitally connected with the throne of David. The hope of Abraham, and all who, like him, obtained a good report through faith (see Hebrews xi. & The Book of Revelation), was connected with ―the city which hath the foundations‖, ―the new Jerusalem, the holy city‖. The hope of the church of the one body is, that when ―Christ, Who is our life, shall be made manifest, we shall also be made manifest with Him in glory‖ (Col. iii. 4). The various ordinances that were enjoined at different times constitute another witness to the need for right division. Circumcision was enjoined very emphatically, as also the keeping of the Sabbath, yet one has only to read Paul‘s epistles to find a complete and drastic change. Baptism in water was once essentially connected with the gospel proclamation, repentance, and remission of sins. Water baptism, however, does not constitute a part of the teaching of the Word that relates to the church of the mystery. The Lord‘s Supper, with its inseparable link with the New Covenant, has no place in the dispensation of the mystery. The order of Apostles, and the ministry generally, differ under different dispensations. Priesthood and sacrifices have ceased, and have no place at present with us. The Apostles of the Lamb do not include in their number the Apostles of the mystery connected with Paul. The organized gatherings of believers differ also. God‘s ―people‖ are Israel, they constitute, or will constitute, a kingdom. An election from among them will constitute ―a royal priesthood.‖ The church formed during the period covered by the Acts of the Apostles will, together with an elect remnant of Israel, constitute the Bride (as distinguished from the Wife, who is to be restored after a long period of separation). The Church formed by God during the period covered by Israel‘s rejection commencing with the end of the Acts, constitutes not the Bride of Christ, or the subjects of the kingdom of the heavens, but the Body of Christ, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Now the reader who has not studied the Scriptures very fully, will perhaps have a host of objections and questions which he would interject were we speaking to him instead of writing. We sympathized with all such, and the preparation of this series is our tangible expression of that sympathy. In this article we have called attention to the need for right division. In subsequent issues we shall hope to take up point by point, and show the teaching of the Word concerning it. It will be our endeavour to write simply, and to confine ourselves as far as possible to one subject at a time, avoiding the tendency to use parenthesis, which we find is somewhat characteristic of our pen. Letters from those for whom the articles are written will be appreciated, and will indicate what are the special difficulties with which we ought to deal.

  • Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Exodus 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The Hebrew title of this book (we'elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words. "The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God's people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis."1 Exodus cannot stand alone, in the sense that the book would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and." The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodus, from the Septuagint translation, meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites' departure from Egypt. "The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament …"2 DATE AND WRITER Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (17:14; 24:4; 34:4, 27-29).

  • Chronology of Wilderness Wanderings
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com CHRONOLOGY OF WILDERNESS WANDERINGS INTRODUCTION It matters where things happened in the Bible. It matters when things happened in the Bible. The Bible tells us only a few dates. Only a handful of locations are undisputed. One thing we know for absolute sure is Mt. Sinai is in Arabia (Gal. 1:17 4:25). The traditional location of Mt. Sinai is wrong. In the time of Paul Arabia did not extend past the Gulf of Aqaba. Believe the Bible, it is the word of God. SUMMARY We subscribe to the conclusions of Bible.ca who propose the following map of the wilderness journey: There are three wilderness journeys: the first [Red Arrows] is from Goshen in Egypt to Mount Sinai (first white spot); the second [Blue Arrows] is from Mount Sinai to Kadesh Barnea (second white spot); the third [Yellow arrows] is from Kadesh Barnea to Jericho (third spot). Bible.ca provides more detailed maps. However, we like this high level view because the precise location of Mt. Sinai and Kadesh Barnea cannot be proven. The main point for the Bible student to realise is all of what is called the Sinai Peninsula today was part of Egypt until 106 AD when the Romans annexed it. The whole purpose of the Exodus was to draw God’s people out of Egypt. If Mt. Sinai was in Egypt the whole mission would have Bible.ca provides solid arguments why the traditional Red Sea routes been a failure. cannot fit the Biblical account. The route they propose fits Paul tells us Mt.

  • Flesh for Fleshly Complainers” Time: 1/3/2021 Am Place: NBBC
    Text: Exod. 16:1-13 Title: “Flesh for fleshly complainers” Time: 1/3/2021 am Place: NBBC Introduction: The Israelites of Exodus 16 find themselves between Elim (or Ayun Musa, the “Springs of Moses” on the eastern bank of the Gulf of Suez) and Mt. Sinai, in a re- gion of the Sinai Peninsula called the Wilderness of Sin. In chapter 17 we will find them in a place called Rephidim. Moses gives us a few more geographical details about this stretch of the journey in Num. 33:10-14. There we learn that there was first an encampment along the Red Sea south of Elim. Then we also learn about stops in places called Dophkah and Alush. In 1838 Edward Robinson, who was the Professor of Bibli- cal Literature at Union Theological Seminary in NYC, went to the Sinai Peninsula in an attempt to trace the journey of the Israelites after the exodus to Mt. Sinai. He is remem- bered today as the father of biblical geography, and visitors to Jerusalem now pass under the Robinson’s Arch, which leads to the southwestern part of the Temple Mount, be- cause it is named in his honor. More recently, Egyptologist David Rohl conducted a similar expedition with many of the same findings. Rohl notes the dead-end created on the eastern bank of the Gulf of Suez by a rocky protrusion some 48 miles south of Elim called Gebel Hammam Faraon, which means “Mountain of Pharaoh’s Bath.” The rocks are home to sul- furous hot-springs that pour into the Gulf.

  • Outline of the Book of Numbers “Wherefore Then Were Ye Not Afraid to Speak Against My Servant, Against Moses ?” (Numb
    Outline of the Book of Numbers “wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses ?” (Numb. 12:8b). Overview of Genesis The book of Genesis covers a span of approximately 2,450 years. The word “Genesis” means “origin” (Smith’s Bible Dictionary pp. 211). Genesis gives the origins of creation, sin, and death in the first three chapters. A history of mankind is examined in the book with great emphasis being placed upon future redemption through Jesus and the development of various characters. The promised seed of Genesis 3:15 is the theme of the entire book. The promised seed is mentioned again in Genesis 12:1-4; 22:18; and 49:10. This promised seed is identified as Jesus Christ at Galatians 3:8, 16. Matthew records, “ And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins ” (Matt. 1:21). Overview of Exodus The book of Exodus covers a span of approximately 360 years from the death of Joseph (Ex. 1:6) to the erecting of the tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai (Ex. 40:1ff). The name “ Exodus ” means “a going out, a marching out, military expedition... a way out, outlet” (LS 275). Exodus records the Hebrews (descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) mass exit out of Egypt by the help of God. God’s mercy and care for His people appears to be the theme of the book (cf. Ex. 19:4). Overview of Leviticus Leviticus is the third book in the Bible and set at a time when man’s history had spanned approximately 2,800 years.

    Last updated: Bible chronology main Detailed Chronology of the Exodus from 20-Mar-2020 at 21:26 page (See History.) © Richard P. Español Egypt Aschmann Rick Aschmann (Aschmann.net/BibleChronology/The_Exodus.html) Lots of detail added 19-Mar-2020. See History. 1. Introduction 2. Month-by-month Summary View of the Exodus 3. Detailed Chronology of the Exodus 4. The Hebrew Calendar 1. Introduction In this chronology I only include events from 1447 or 1446 B.C. through 1406 B.C., since this period contains month-by-month or even day-by-day detail in many cases, actually an amazing amount of detail perhaps not matched anywhere else in the Bible. This covers part of Exodus, all of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, and part of Joshua. Earlier events in Exodus and later events in Joshua are already clearly shown on the Bible chronology main page. The dates provided are my own, based on information gleaned from the text itself. The Narrated Bible generally does not provide these detailed dates for this time period, which is a bit surprising, given the amount of detail the text provides. If anyone thinks I have interpreted the text incorrectly in a particular case, please let me know. Note that events in the Bible text are not necessarily sequential, and in a few cases it is not entirely clear which events occur first, as in the case of Leviticus 10 and following chapters versus Numbers 7:54 and following. I have just tried to place them as logically as possible. The English month names given in quotes in the charts below are actually Hebrew months.

  • The Route of the Exodus, the Location of Mount Sinai, and Related Topics By, Randall Styx
    The Route of the Exodus, the Location of Mount Sinai, and Related Topics By, Randall Styx [November, 2002] Introduction For himself the Christian might consider investigating the locations at which Old Testament events occurred an interesting recreational study, but would hardly deem the subject a major concern. Believing in the verbal inspiration of all Scripture, we accept on faith that what God says in the Bible is true and we need no verification other than the Bible itself. We might not know where all the recorded events took place, but we know that they did truly happen, for Scripture says they did. God does not lie. Furthermore, with regard to the specific locations with which this paper deals, while we are certainly to be impressed with the glory of God shown through his record of the events of the Exodus and Mount Sinai, we are far more concerned with the greater glory of God shown on Calvary. Even with Calvary, what is significant is not precisely where it happened but the fact that it did happen. The God-man Christ, after living a perfect life to our credit died an innocent death in our place, as our substitute, to fulfill God’s law for mankind completely both actively and passively. For the sake of Christ’s life and death, God declared the world justified by raising Jesus from the dead and sent his Holy Spirit by Word and Sacrament to invite and move people by faith to receive justification and its blessings of forgiveness, eternal life, and salvation. This does not mean that Christians consider what happened at Sinai unimportant.

  • The Campsites of Israel Through the Desert
    C H A P T E R N I N E The Land of Giants: Alush ―And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush‖ Numbers 33: 13 (KJV). ord spread quickly among the Amalekites that an Israelite W―invasion‖ was coming their way. With their success in freeing the slaves at Dophkah, Israel‘s activities and whereabouts became increasingly noteworthy to the surrounding nations. Now, as the multitude entered their land, the Amalekites observed Israel‘s progress with defensive hackles raised. It would have been impossible for Israel to pass through the land unnoticed. Their journey had been marked by the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, the destruction of the Egyptian army, bitter waters turned potable; and to top it all off, they were continuously led by a supernatural Presence manifesting as an alternating Cloud or Pillar of Fire. Never before had the heathens heard such stories or witnessed such feats as those wrought by Israel‘s Almighty Yahweh. But with the eyes of the surrounding nations now riveted upon them, and with the euphoria of the mighty Dophkah deliverance freshly burning in their breasts; the Children of Israel began to shift their focus and praise from Yahweh to themselves. After Dophkah’s victory, they felt pretty good about themselves. So good, in fact, that they seem to have forgotten it was Almighty Elohim who had wrought this great deliverance through them. There is nothing like a heroic rescue to stimulate hope and joy. And it was only natural for the victors to catch up the new ―recruits‖ with details of their prior adventures.

  • Introduction to Numbers
    INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS I. NAME OF THE BOOK A. In the Hebrew (MT) the title is “In the Wilderness” (BDB 184). This is not the first word but it is in the first sentence (i.e., the fifth word). It documents the revelations and events from Mt. Sinai to the plains of Moab across from Jericho. B.

It is part of the first section of the Hebrew Canon called “The Torah,” “Teachings,” or “Law.” B. The section is known as the Pentateuch (five scrolls) in the LXX. C. It is sometimes called “The Five Books of Moses” in English. D. It includes a continuous account by Moses from the time of creation through Moses’ life, Genesis – Deuteronomy. III. GENRE – This book is very similar to the Exodus. It is a combination of historical narrative and legislation as well as the ancient poetic oracles (i.e., Balaam, Numbers 23-24). IV. AUTHORSHIP A.

This clearly shows that Moses did use written documents as well as oral traditions (see John H. Walton and D. Brent Sandy, The Lost World of Scripture). B. This book states that Moses could and did record the events of the wilderness wandering period. See Special Topic: Moses’ Authorship of the Pentateuch. C. Numbers also provides several examples of obvious editorial additions (possibly by Joshua or Samuel): 1.
