Dynastic Oracle

In reading 2 Samuel, I questioned why when the Lord asked David to build a house for him, through a servant, his immediate answer was not yes. Verse four states “Would you build me a house to dwell in?” A question, one that I assume he is looking for the answer yes to. After research Bible Scholars state that this test is known as the “Dynastic Oracle.” In which the Lord promises David that his lineage will never end. For me, this still does not explain why David will not build the Lord a home. Looking at the bible correlations, another account of this story is written in 1 Chronicles 17. In verse 4 it says, “you shall not build me a house to dwell in.” In both versions, you really need to read them slowly and carefully. It is at least

    Isaiah 14 And Habakkokkuk 2: Taunt-Song Analysis

    The article I completed my research on was “ Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2: Two Taunt songs against the same tyrant?” In this article the author contrasts Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2 and speaks on the similarities between the two rulers mentioned. The reason for comparing Isaiah 14 and Habakkuk 2 is because of the prominent monarch figure in both of the passages and the taunt songs that accompany it. Even though Isaiah and Habakkuk were written by different people, the author of this article makes his claim that they are speaking of the same end - time dictator.…

    The Importance Of Space In The City Of Jerusalem

    2 Samuel 7 shows God requesting a house from David and asks for David’s future son to build it in exchange for making his future son king: “...I will raise up your offspring after you...and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever” (2 Samuel 7:12-13). The agreement made between David and God, during David’s reign, presents a differentiated aspect compared to Saul’s reign and God’s full endorsement towards David being king. Due to the agreement, there is also a kinetic aspect in this situation because the house that is being built for God plays a role as the bloodline of King David. The promise to David, that there is an heir, creates his dynasty and his future lineage.…

    This memo will discuss how the IMRAD form, a well-known format of writing among scientists and researchers which is described in Writing in the Sciences textbook by Steven B. Katz and Ann M. Penrose. The memo will talk about the IMRAD style and how it is similar and different to a historical paper titled, “The Delphic Oracle: A Multidisciplinary Defense of the Gaseous Vent Theory” written by Henry A. Spiller, John R. Hale, and Jelle Z. De Boer. It uses some of the IMRAD concepts, however there were a few changes. This memo will highlight the differences and similarities in the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections in the historical paper.…

    Comparing The Hidden Oracle And The Flying Tigers

    The Hidden Oracle and The Flying Tigers are two books that I have enjoyed reading recently. The first book that engaged me is the Hidden Oracle, which is a fiction by Rick Riordan and is quite comparable to his other Greek mythology books. I found this book interesting because in the beginning, the god Apollo is changed from a god to a normal, mortal person. Despite wanting his powers back, Apollo is able to overcome the enemy and regain his confidence as well as getting over not having powers. At the end he really shows resilience and I thought that was neat to see the progression in him.…

    David first had to be faithful in service before he was ever given the chance to fight the giant. If David would have not followed through and listened to his dad about bringing the lunch, then he would have never defeated Goliath. Groeschel mentions that if we are faithful in the little things, then God will entrust us with the big things, like being king. The Lord also calls…

    Isaiah 7: 1-25 In Which Isaiah Reassures King Isaiah

    The passage of Isaiah 7:1-25 in which Isaiah reassures king Ahaz that the plot against Judah will not stand because God is on his side. For this reason, the Lord gives Ahaz a sign about the baby named Immanuel. I disagree with Carvalho that the woman and her child were just a literary device to mark time in the oracle. I believe that this passage predicts the birth of Jesus Christ. In the next few paragraphs I will explain the reasons why I am making this statement and I am also going to back it up with examples.…

    2: 1-10 Hannah Prayer

    Introduction The story of Hannah, found in 1 Samuel 1:1-2:10, is often used as a sermon topic on Mother’s Day. While this extraordinary woman of the Scriptures personifies ideal motherhood, her prayer for a son and subsequent psalm of thanksgiving is indeed a splendid model today for a person’s petitions and response. In the Old Testament, Hannah’s prayer is the only prayer from a women. In fact, “until that point men did all liturgical speaking and prayer publicly, for the entire community, making Hannah‘s prayer a revolutionary act.”…

    The Socrates’ account of the oracle at Delphi was the one of most famous and most valued oracle of the historic. The account was confirmed by Xenophon and the oracle professed Socrates to be “free, straight, and practical individuals” somewhat than the utmost wise. In the case, it explains that the oracle state an optimistic claim about Socrates.

    The Tragic Life Of King Saul's Nagid King

    King Saul began his reign as an obedient nagid king, leading the people in covenant faithfulness toward God. He soon changed to a melek king, seeking his own glory and power. This change brought civil strife, division, and death upon God's people, instead of the shalom Israel was to experience. Because of this, Saul and his dynasty were rejected by God. Saul’s background and early life reflect that he had the potential to be a nagid king.…

    Analysis Of The Bible And The Parable Of The Wicked Tenants

    The Setting of the Parable Both the placement of the parable in the Bible and when the parable took place in Jesus’ life are important in understanding the meaning of the parable. While Mark’s version of the Parable of the Wicked Tenants is regarded as the closest to the synoptic traditions source (De Moor 63), it is Matthew’s placement of the parable that is most significant. The parable is sandwiched by two other parables: the Parable of the Two sons and the Parable of the Marriage Feast. All three parables deal with judgement against those who reject God’s message.…
