The Patriarch Enoch the Patriarch Enoch Is the Son of Jared, the Great Iconography Adult Spiritual Enrichment Spring of 2021 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Maitland, FL The Patriarch Enoch The Patriarch Enoch is the son of Jared, the great- great-great-great grandson of Adam, and the father of Methuselah. He is not to be confused with Enoch the son of Cain Enoch did not taste death. He lived 365 years and then ascended into Heaven, since it is written “for God took him” (Gen. 5:24). The New Testament contains three references to Enoch. The first is a brief mention in one of the genealogies of the ancestors of Jesus by Luke (Luke 3:37). The second mention is in Hebrews 11:5 which says, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” This suggests he did not experience the mortal death ascribed to Adam’s other descendants which is consistent with Genesis 5:24, which says, “And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.” The third mention is in the Epistle of Jude (1:14-15) where the author attributes to “Enoch, the Seventh from Adam” a passage unknown in the Old Testament. The quotation is be- lieved by most modern scholars to be taken from 1 Enoch 1:9 which exists in Greek, in Ethiopic as part of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon and also in Aramaic among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church includes the Book of Enoch in their canons. This text describes Enoch’s ascent into heaven. This book is not accepted in the Eastern Orthodox Canon but is considered as an apocryphal text. According to prophecies of the holy Fa- thers, God will send Elijah and Enoch before coming of the Antichrist to bear witness for Christ on the earth and to strengthen the faithful. Iconography Adult Spiritual Enrichment Spring of 2021 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Maitland, FL Righteous Job the Long-Suffering The righteous Job (whose name means “persecuted”), God’s faithful servant, was the perfect image of every virtue. The son of Zarah and Bossorha (Job 42), Job was a fifth-generation descendent of Abraham. He was a truthful, righteous, patient and pious man who abstained from every evil thing. Job was very rich and blessed by God in all things, as was no other son of Ausis (his country, which lay between Idoumea and Arabia). However, divine condescension permitted him to be tested. Job lost his children, his wealth, his glory, and every consolation all at once. His entire body became a terrible wound covered with boils. Yet he remained steadfast and patient in the face of his mis- fortune for seven years, always giving thanks to God. Later, God restored his former prosperity, and he had twice as much as before. Job lived for 170 years after his misfortune, completing his earthly life in 1350 B.C. at the age of 240. Some au- thorities say that Job’s afflictions lasted only one year, and that afterwards he lived for 140 years, reaching the age of 210. Job’s explanations are among the most poetic writings in the Old Testament book which bears his name. It is one of the most edifying portions of Holy Scripture. Job teaches us that we must endure life’s adversities patiently and with trust in God. As Saint Anthony the Great (January 17) says, without temptations, it is impossible for the faithful to be saved. The Orthodox Church reads the book of Job, the first of the seven wisdom books of the Old Testament, during Holy Week, drawing a parallel between Job and Christ as righteous men who suffered through no fault of their own. God allowed Satan to afflict Job so that his faithfulness would be proven. Christ, the only sinless one, suffered voluntarily for our sins. The Septuagint text of Job 42:17 says that Job “will rise again with those whom the Lord raises up.” This passage is read on Great and Holy Friday, when the composite Gospel at Vespers speaks of the tombs be- ing opened at the moment the Savior died on the Cross, and the bodies of the saints were raised, and they appeared to many after Christ’s Resurrection (Mt.27:52) Iconography Adult Spiritual Enrichment Spring of 2021 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Maitland, FL Holy Prophet Malachi The traditional writer of the Book of Mala- chi, the last book of the Neviim (Prophets) section in the Hebrew Bible. The Holy Prophet Malachi lived 400 years before the Birth of Christ, at the time of the return of the Jews from the Babylonian Cap- tivity. Malachi was the last of the Old Tes- tament prophets, therefore the holy Fathers call him “the seal of the prophets.” He prophesied in the days of Nehemias, a wise man among the Jews, who also held a high and powerful position in the court of Artaxerxes the Long-armed, King of the Persians, who reigned from 465 to 424 B.C. Mal- achis’ book of prophecy is divided into four chapters; he foretold the coming of Christ as the Sun of Righteousness (4:2) Manifesting himself an image of spiritual goodness and piety, he astounded the nation and was called Malachi, i.e., an angel. His prophetic book is included in the Canon of the Old Testament. In it he upbraids the Jews, foretelling the coming of Jesus Christ and His Forerunner, and also the Last Judgment (Mal 3:1-5; 4:1-6). Iconography Adult Spiritual Enrichment Spring of 2021 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Maitland, FL Holy Prophet and God-seer Moses The Holy Prophet and God-Seer Moses was of the tribe of Levi, the son of Abram and Joch- abed (Exodus 6:20). His life is described in the Bible (Exodus 2 through Deuteronomy 34:12). Moses was born in Egypt around 1689 B.C. When Pharaoh ordered all male children of the Hebrew slaves to be killed (Exodus 1:22), Moses’ mother placed him in a basket of papy- rus coated with pitch, and set him adrift on the Nile. Pharaoh’s daughter found him and raised him as her own son. At the age of eighty, Moses fled to Midian, where he spoke to God in the Burning Bush on Mt. Horeb (Exodus 3:2). God chose Moses to lead His people from the slavery of Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea as if it were dry land, and for forty years they wandered in the desert. Arriving in the land of Moab, Moses went to the top of Mt. Nabau, or Nebo (Deuteronomy 32:49), which is called Phasga (Deut. 34:1). There, according to the will of God, he died in 1569 B.C. at the age of 120 without entering the Promised Land. The first two Biblical Odes are attributed to Moses: “Let us sing to the Lord...” (Exodus 15:1-9), which was sung on the shores of the Red Sea after the Hebrews had crossed it. “Attend, O heav- en...” (Deut. 32:1-43) was sung in the land of Moab, a few days before Moses’ death. He is also regarded as the author of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament). The holy Prophet Moses performed many miracles during his lifetime, and also after his death. He appeared on Tabor with the Prophet Elias at the Transfiguration of the Lord (August 6). On the day that Saint John of the Ladder (March 30) was installed as abbot of Mt. Sinai, the Prophet Moses was seen going around and giving orders to the cooks, stewards, and servants. When the guests had gone and the monks were sitting at table, they wondered what had become of the stranger who had been giving orders. Saint John said, “Our Lord Moses does nothing strange by serving in the place which belongs to him.” Iconography Adult Spiritual Enrichment Spring of 2021 Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Maitland, FL Prophet Samuel The Prophet Samuel was the fifteenth and last of the Judges of Israel, living more than 1146 years before the Birth of Christ. He was descended from the Tribe of Levi, and was the son of Elkanah from Ramathaim-Zophim of Mount Ephraim. He was born, having been besought from the Lord through the prayers of his mother Hannah (therefore he received the name Samuel, which means “besought from God”). Even before birth, he was dedicated to God. Her song, “My heart exults in the Lord,” is the third Old Testament ode of the Canon (1 Sam/1 Kings 2:1-10). When the boy reached the age of three, his mother went with him to Shiloh and in accord with her vow dedicated him to the worship of God. She gave him into the care of the High Priest Eli, who at this time was a judge over Israel. The prophet grew in the fear of God, and at twelve years of age he had a revelation that God would punish the house of the High Priest Eli, because he did not restrain the impiety of his sons. Eli’s whole family was wiped out in a single day. The prophecy was fulfilled when the Philistines, having slain in battle 30,000 Israelites (among them Hophni and Phinees, the sons of Eli the High Priest), gained victory and captured the Ark of the Covenant. Hearing this, the High Priest Eli fell backwards from his seat at the gate, and breaking his back, he died.

  • Point Introduction Understanding
    brentwood baptist BRENTWOOD SUMMER SERIES THE CHURCH SENT ACTS 13:1-4 8/2/2020 MAIN POINT As the church in Antioch grew and developed new leaders, God called those leaders out for new endeavors. INTRODUCTION As your group time begins, use this section to introduce the topic of discussion. Have someone share about a mission trip or local mission experience. Share photos if available. When you think about your walk with Christ, how have you experienced Him sending you out to new ministry endeavors? How would you explain what it means to be called of God for ministry? Who do you think that applies to? In your experience, how have you discerned if God was calling you to something? How big a role did the confirmation of other believers play in your discernment? Luke chronicled the circumstances surrounding the launch of Paul’s first missionary journey. The number of leaders with the ability to teach had increased considerably since Barnabas arrived in Antioch. With everything growing and developing in Antioch, one might think that the leadership should just keep doing what they were doing. To the contrary, in the midst of the healthy development in Antioch, God called out Saul and Barnabas to be sent to fulfill other works to which God had called them. UNDERSTANDING Unpack the biblical text to discover what the Scripture says or means about a particular topic. HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ ACTS 13:1. As the work in Antioch had progressed, so too had the mantle of leadership. At the time when Barnabas was originally dispatched by the leadership in Jerusalem to investigate the salvation phenomenon in Antioch, Barnabas was the only teacher and disciple- maker of new converts.

  • St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church
    April 14, 2019 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord ST. GABRIEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH Stewardship Reflection on Readings IS 50:4-7; PS 22:8-9, 17-20, 23-34; PHIL 2:6-11; LK 22:14- 23:56 or LK 23:1-49 Two very different responses to our Lord’s passion are highlighted during the Gospel reading from Luke today: the response of Simon of Cyrene and the response of Jesus’ acquaintances. Of Simon we are told, “They took hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country; and after laying the cross on him, they made him carry it behind Jesus.” Whether Simon entered willingly and compassionately into this service or whether he took up the Cross of Christ with a grudge, we don’t know. What we do know is this: Simon did his part faithfully. He stayed near to Christ, carrying the Cross until our Lord reached Golgotha, the site of His crucifixion. We also know that Simon’s family were among the first of the early Christians. Staying near to Christ, embracing the Cross (quite literally), transformed his life and the life of his family. In contrast, near the end of this Gospel account we are told of another reaction to Jesus’ passion and death, namely that “all His acquaintances stood at a distance.” They knew Jesus! They had heard him preaching and teaching, witnessed His signs and miracles, maybe even benefited personally from them. Perhaps they did not participate in mocking Him or calling for His crucifixion.

  • AFRICENTRIC: Lessons from Simon of Cyrene
    AFRICENTRIC: Lessons from Simon of Cyrene By Dr. Maurice C. Taylor Although little is written about him in the Bible, Simon of Cyrene has been on my mind quite a bit this Lenten season. In fact, the first three books of the New Testament provide only a very sketchy profile of a man from Cyrene, Simon by name, who was coming in from the country (Lk 23:26) and who was the father of Alexander and Rufus (Mk 15:21) whom Roman soldiers compelled to carry Jesus’ cross (Mt 27:32). Few other details about Simon exist beyond the fact that his home, Cyrene, was a Greek settlement in the province of Cyrenaica, which was in the eastern part of present-day Libya. It is easy to discount the story of Simon of Cyrene as contributing much to an understanding of the significance of the passion of Christ or of having any relevance in our daily lives. Indeed, every Lenten season, more sermons are preached about the cock crowing upon Peter’s third denial of knowing Jesus (Mt 26:74) and the two thieves crucified with Christ (Lk 39-43) than about Simon carrying Christ’s cross. Yet, for me, in many ways it is Simon’s story that most closely parallels the meaning of Christ’s journey to Golgotha bearing that cross on our behalf. First, Christ has no need to carry the cross for himself; after all, he has done nothing to warrant such a burden. Rather Christ is compelled to bear this cross for you and me.

  • The Transforming Power of the Cross and the Resurrection
    The Transforming Power of the Cross and the Resurrection Have you ever planned something special to do—something that you have really been looking forward to for a very long time—it could be a special trip or vacation—or maybe even something as simple as sitting down and reading a good book you’ve been waiting to read or watching a movie on DVD that you have been wanting to see. But, just when you get into doing it—something interrupts you. You have started out on your dream vacation—but the car has a flat tire. You are reading that book or watching the movie—and the phone rings. And you think, “Wow, why does this always happen to me?” I have to believe that that is the way that Simon must have felt on the day that Jesus was crucified. And I am not referring to Simon Peter, Jesus’ disciple. No, this is a different Simon—one who doesn’t receive quite as much attention in the Gospels. But this Simon has a story that bears telling, because in many ways he reflects the wonder and transforming power of the Cross and of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in a manner that is compelling for all of us. His story teaches us that sometimes an interruption is exactly what we may need. You see, from all indications, Simon had planned one of those special things that he has longed to do all of his life. He had scrimped and saved his money for a trip from his home town in Cyrene in order to go to the Holy City of Jerusalem.

  • The Christian Comforter
    The Christian Comforter Enoch the seventh from Adam In the book of Genesis, there are two Enoch’s; one from the line of Cain, in Genesis 4:17, and one from the line of Seth, who is the Enoch that we are concerned with here. The lineage is Adam — Seth — Enos — Cainan — Mahalaleel — Jared — Enoch. Enoch walked with God, and after 365 years God took him — he did not die. Genesis 5:23-24 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. This fact is expanded upon in Hebrews chapter 11 — among those who walked in faith. Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Enoch is also found in the genealogy of Jesus. Luke 3:37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan. Note; above the names are spelt differently in the New Testament which was originally written in Greek. In the time of the early church fathers, the book of Enoch was widely accepted as inspired scripture by Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras, Tertullian, Origen and Lactantius. They all referenced Enoch in their own writings, probably because of Jude’s reference that it was a prophetic text. Jude 1:14-15 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

It has been accepted for inclusion in The Corinthian by an authorized editor of Knowledge Box. The Wise Blood of Enoch Emery The Wise Blood of Enoch Emery Susan Presley Dr. Marshall Bruce Gentry Faculty Sponsor Some readers regard Enoch Emery of Wise Blood as a shallow, comic, even demonic character because of his seemingly meaningless rituals, his grotesque actions, and his secular state of living. In a lecture to the NEH Summer Institute “Reconsidering Flannery O’Connor” at GCSU in July 2007, Michael Kreyling described Enoch as “obviously deranged” and “only a mole- cule away from becoming Dick Hickock in In Cold Blood.” Enoch actually shares qualities with many common eighteen-year-old boys and is not the dis- turbing character many critics claim he is. Readers too easily have over- looked Enoch’s important role in the novel, because they have not considered the potential of this character who has “wise blood” (44). Enoch possesses the qualities of self-knowledge, resilience, and initiative, traits that come from his wise blood. Enoch’s wise blood serves as a spiritual compass in his life and enables him to connect with and try to help others, prepare for his future as a productive adult, and overcome his difficult childhood.

  • Enoch (Ancestor of Noah)
    Enoch (ancestor of Noah) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Saint Enoch the Patriarch God took Enoch, as in Genesis 5:24: "And Enoch walked with God: then he was no more; for God took him." (KJV) illustration from the 1728 Figures de la Bible; illustrated by Gerard Hoet Antediluvian Patriarch Armenian Apostolic Church Honored in Armenian Catholic Church Islam Feast July 30 Modern Tiberian Ḥă ōḵ; Arabic: ʼIdrīs) is a character that ,חֲנֹוְך :Enoch (Hebrew appears in the Book of Genesis and a figure in the Generations of Adam. Enoch is described as the greatx4 grandson of Adam (through Seth) (Genesis 5:3-18), the son of Jared, the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah. The text reads—uniquely in the Generations— that Enoch "walked with God: and he was not; for God took him", (Genesis 5:22-29) and in Hebrews 11: 5 (KJV) it says "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." suggesting he did not experience the mortal death ascribed to Adam's other descendants and that he is still alive to this very day. Despite the brief descriptions of him, Enoch is one of the main two focal points for much of the 1st millennium BC Jewish mysticism, notably in the Book of Enoch. Additionally, Enoch is important in some Christian denominations: He is commemorated as one of the Holy Forefathers in the Calendar of Saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian Catholic Church on the second Thursday after the Feast of the Transfiguration.
