  • Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth
    Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth THROUGH DR. DANIEL G. SAMUELS This online version published by Divine Truth, USA http://www.divinetruth.com/ version 1.0 Introduction to the Online Edition For those already familiar with the messages received through James Padgett , the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received through Mr. Padgett. Samuels’ mediumship differed from Padgett’s in that it is much more filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the “broad strokes” that Padgett’s mediumship painted with. However, with this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true that we have found factual as well as conceptual errors in some of Samuel’s writings. There are also a number of passages where the wording is perhaps not as clear as we would have wished – where it appears that there was something of a “tug-of-war” going on between Samuels’ and Jesus’ mind. In upcoming editions we will attempt to notate these passages, but for now the reader is advised (as always) to read these messages with a prayerful heart, asking that their Celestial guides assist them in understanding the true intended meaning of these passages. The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels’ mediumship: Received through KS 6-10-92 I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means.

Paper 33. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/33 THE SEPTUAGINTAL ISAIAN USE OF ΝΌΜΟΣ IN THE LUKAN PRESENTATION NARRATIVE by Mark Walter Koehne, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT THE SEPTUAGINTAL ISAIAN USE OF ΝΌΜΟΣ IN THE LUKAN PRESENTATION NARRATIVE Mark Walter Koehne, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2010 Scholars have examined several motifs in Luke 2:22-35, the ”Presentation” of the Gospel of Luke. However, scholarship scarcely has treated the theme of νόμος, the Νόμος is .תורה Septuagintal word Luke uses as a translation of the Hebrew word mentioned four times in the Presentation narrative; it also is a word in Septuagintal Isaiah to which the metaphor of light in Luke 2:32 alludes. In 2:22-32—a pivotal piece within Luke-Acts—νόμος relates to several themes, including ones David Pao discusses in his study on Isaiah’s portrayal of Israel’s restoration, appropriated by Luke. My dissertation investigates, for the first time, the Septuagintal Isaian use of νόμος in this pericope. My thesis is that Luke’s use of νόμος in the Presentation pericope highlight’s Jesus’ identity as the Messiah who will restore and fulfill Israel.

  • A Book of Faith Bible Study on Isaiah 55:1-11
    Book of Faith Bible Study Isaiah 55:1-11 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight your- selves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and com- mander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 1 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

    ©Living Hope Church 4 January 2009 Standing on the Promises Isaiah 54 Introduction A. Isaiah 54 is often a forgotten and forsaken chapter. 1. Isaiah 54 suffers the serious misfortune of being located between two massive peaks: Isaiah 53 (suffering servant) & Isaiah 55 (gospel invitation). B. Many of you know the content of Isaiah 53. And, many could tell me the content of Isaiah 55 (come, seek the Lord, my thoughts are not your thoughts, the Word is not void). 1. But, can you tell me the content of Isaiah 54? If you’re like me, Isaiah 54 is unfamiliar. C. I hope today to establish Isaiah 54 as a section of the Scriptures that we cherish (a familiar path). Here is a call from God to be Standing on the Promises. 1. Isaiah 54 reveals the results (fruit or outcome) of the work of the suffering servant: Isaiah 53:11-12 (ESV) Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors. C. Isaiah 54 shows us three glorious pictures of God’s work of redemption: 1. A barren woman rejoices over her children (verses 1-3) 2.

  • Notes on Isaiah 54:10-11 + 55:6-13
    Isaiah54_55_Deuteronomy_Notes 12/11/19, 10:20 AM Isaiah 54:10-11 + 55:6-13 Isaiah 54:10 - "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee." - Revelation 6:14-15 - "The heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains" Some rabbis interpreted the "mountains and hills" as a stand-in for the kings of the nations. "kindness" = chesed - kindness, favor, grace, mercy, good, pity, benevolence, desire toward, love, lovingkindness (See also Psalm 117, paired with Deuteronomy 6-7) "the covenant of my peace" - See Numbers 25:12, Ezekiel 34:25; Ezekiel 37:26, Malachi 2:5. Compare Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" Isaiah 54:11 - "O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. The mention of the "foundation" = yacad - here is important in light of Psalm 118:21-23 (the other companion psalm for Deuteronomy 7-8) and the "stone that the builders rejected" that becomes "the head stone of the corner" The same word is used in Ezra 3:10 - "And when the builders laid the foundation (yacad) of the temple of the LORD..." - Revelation 21:19 - "And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.

Author: The relationship between the Torah and the Prophets has been a matter of dispute.

In doing so, it comes close to the Book of Isaiah.
