    Joshua’s Message to Auburn and the Modern World Joshua, written by Joseph F. Girzone, is a modern day parable.

    Psalms 137 Analysis

    Hello, Bonnie, you are right that the Psalms absolutely belong. Psalms shows us how to be worshippers like the book of Proverbs teaches us how to be wise. In Psalms 137:2 I would suggest that not only were they not willing to sing for their captors because it was the Lord’s song but also that they were so sorrowful that didn’t have the heart use them. They didn’t get rid of their incitements, they had hope that one day again they would have occasion to use them, so they laid them aside (hung on a willow) for at the present time they had no use for them; God turned their, feasting into mourning and their songs into weeping (Amos. 8:10). Negative psalm have its place because if the Psalms were only filled with positive messages that only show…

    “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men’s advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God.” (Psalm 1:1, Living Bible). Psalm 1:1 uses the synonymous parallelism. The synonymous parallelism is identified in this verse because both lines articulate the same idea (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). The verse describes the actions of what is godly via not listening to or being associated with evil.…

    The two Books of Samuel are part of a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings) in the Hebrew Bible/ Old Testament. These books describe the development and rise of kingship in Israel. In the bible, Samuel plays a critical role because he assists in bringing together the period of the Judges and the monarchy as he guides Israel to kingship. The Greek translation of the book, the Septuagint, was the first version to divide the Books of Samuel into two different parts. We can’t completely confirm who wrote the Books of Samuel; however, it is highly possible that they were compiled from the writings of the prophets Samuel, Gad, and Nathan.…

    Any rich story weaves in symbolism and foreshadowing. This enhances the meaning of the narrative, gives the audience clues to the future, and sets the stage for multiple themes. The drama of the Bible checks all of these boxes and then some. Although there are many characters in the first formative years of Israel’s existence, the character of Joshua, leads Israel into a temporary Promised Land, which foreshadows the role that Jesus plays in the unfolding narrative. Joshua was critical to the establishment of Israel as their own country, leading them to a land to call their own.…

    Psalm 68 Analysis

    • 710 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Psalm 68 is an amazing poem written by David that gives insight into the character and qualities of God as sovereign king of both Israel and the world. What is more, the psalm bounces back and forth from speaking to God; using personal pronouns such as ‘you,’ and at the same time David is telling the reader about God. Both of these methods lend well for worship. In addition, David was a king, so his perspective of God as king and the role of the king for his people threads all the way through the entire psalm. Psalm 68 lists specific qualities of God as king, shows his primary activities on behalf of his people and parallels to how King Jesus lived while on earth.…

    Introduction According to David Howard, “Joshua was written to provide an interpretive history of one slice of Israel’s life as a people.” This “slice of life” Old Testament narrative begins in Joshua 1:1-9 with an authoritative call to be strong, courageous and obedient. This passage serves to outline and prepare the reader for the body of work to follow. At the core, Joshua is a story of radical obedience to God and His law.…

    Numbers 12:1-16 was a story that expresses how God communicates differently with every individual. Here are is my initial response to the narrative: I think there are a few parts of this passage that I find strange. I think it is strange how God favors Moses more than anyone else. Just because Moses is a good, humble man should not make him the more favorable human being the Lord should express himself through. I feel like the Lord is saying to Miriam and Aaron that they will never get the gifts Moses receives because they will never be as good as him.…

    Song Of Songs

    One of the more neglected parts of the Bible is the Song of Songs (also called the Song of Solomon). Although it is easily found, right in the middle of the Bible, it is a book that is rarely read and hardly known; usually it is known to Muslims through just one verse, which we will come to later. Such neglect does not befit any of God's word, because as it says elsewhere in the Bible: “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 The expression "Song of Songs" is a Hebrew idiom for "the best song".…

    The four Gospels in the bible are accredited to four writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The gospels were split into two groups, which consisted of the synoptic Gospels and John’s gospel. The synoptic gospels consisted of Matthew, Mark and Luke’s gospels. The reason for this was because of the difference between the writings. The synoptic gospels were considered similar, but John did not really contain the same similarities that the other three writings had in common.…
