Black Hebrew Israelites

As I began to read The Gift of the Jews I automatically saw the authors perspective on all of humanity. He says within the first sentences of his book that the Jews started it all, and by “it” he means everything we value as a society, everything that nonetheless makes us human. As the book progresses he goes on to talk about the story of the bible, from Egypt to Babylon all while interconnecting everything to the Jews or their version of the bible. Thomas Cahill begins his book with…

is Leviticus. This is the third book of the Bible in the Old Testament, and was originally called the Third Book of Moses. It is easy to assume that the genre for book of Leviticus to be law, but it is in fact a book detailing the history of the Israelites the first year after the exodus. The authorship for this book is not specifically named but is strongly inferred to be Moses, due to the original title and the fact that throughout the book of Leviticus it mentions “The Lord said to Moses”…

many times have we all heard the saying, “it’s a woman’s’ prerogative to change her mind”? In looking at the Ancient Israelites and the journey they took through the Old Testament I see a lot of swaying back and forth in being close to God and then far away from God. So if there’s anyone else that can be likened to this indecisiveness of changing ones mind, it is the Ancient Israelites. Body The Old Testament is full of people’s relationship with God . Genesis is the beginning of the Old…

when it comes to the topic of immorality. Leviticus 18 describes God’s Law against illicit sexual practices for the Israelites (Schroeder). Since God had to list what to not do, there must have been some who were already disobeying God in that area. In Numbers 25:1-3, Israel participated in acts of sexual immorality with Moabite women and in the book of Jeremiah, when the Israelites turned away from God, they did what pleased them and that included prostituting themselves physically and…

back on it generations from now. When the Israelites faced hard times, they would be able to look back and think about how they are standing with the God who delivered them out of Egypt (10:2). Wanting to bring the Israelites to himself can be further summarized when one knows that God does all things for good. Romans 8:28 states, “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” The Israelites were the people who loved God and…

help. Despite the position one takes on this, it can be agreed upon that in the metaphor of an adopted child God used in His anger is quite shocking when paired with whore. Israel was promised to be a great nation back in Abraham’s time so the Israelites never had the chance to ask first if this was what they wanted. To reprimand a people for their wrong doings they must first have agreed not to do them. This does not include strong persuasion and commands after rescuing them from their captors…

In the beginning was the genesis of creation, where had God moved by his spirit to create the Heavens, Earth, and mankind for a companionship with one of his own image. God wanted a relationship based on freewill for the product of true love. But the free will of mankind resulted in the fall from the grace of God. Because of God’s love, we can see the movement of God throughout history to reconcile the relationship between God and mankind back into right standing. The movement shows a trajectory…

Even when the Israelites forgot where they came from and had the nerve to want to go back, God still loved them and provided. His love is so unconditional and for that I am thankful. "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us".( Ephesians 3:20) (Holy Bible, 2012) This is the love of God. I think about what caused that trip to take forty years, was the love of God not enough? We know that it was. God 's love…

Many people like to read the Book of Joel in today’s time. The prophet that wrote the Book of Joel was the prophet Joel. The Book of Joel was written between 835 and 400 B.C. The prophet Joel wrote to the Jews during this time period (Allen). The audience the prophet Joel wrote to was the Jews. Joel was talking to the Jews in the Babylonian Exile. At the time Joel lived the Exile was going on. The Book of Joel in the Bible stressed four main points. Joel wanted to warn the people of Judah, that…
