Hebrew Bible people

Righteous Sufferer The Bible is filled with wonderful stories that both inspire and more often than not, teach a lesson or rather allows readers to draw knowledge from the individuals within the stories. One such book is the book of Job, which is the story of a man who goes from living the good life, losing it all, and then getting it all back again. In the book of Job, In the Hebrew Bible, the author, uses imagery, symbolism, and irony to develop…

As one of 24 books of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible, Ecclesiastes is classified as one of the Ketuvim, also known as "Writings". It is also in the canonical Wisdom Books from the Old Testament of the major parts of Christian denominations. It is entitled Ecclesiastes as a result of the Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Kohelet which means "Gatherer" but traditionally translated as "Teacher" or "Preacher", and its author adopted this pseudonym. There is no denying the fact…

your own. In a Christian worldview humanity is always in a spiritual battle. We should encourage one another to keep the faith. “Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness” Hebrews 3:13 (NIVUK). Yes, the world is awfully diverse with religion and beliefs. However, there is only one true living God. Once you discern him you would not want to step back into your sinful way of life (Galatians…

Religion plays a significant role in people’s lives as it guides the relationship between God and man, as observed in the various doctrines found in the Quran, the Bible, and many other religious publications. One of Christian religions, the Roman Catholic Church, has used the Bible to show that Jesus is the Christ, son of God, and Lord. The Church is an old religious institution established long before the civilization of many nations on earth. Moreover, it has a huge followership on many…

Beginning with the first accounts in Genesis to the ultimate final prophecies of Revelation, it is documented that God pursues reconciliation of His people to Himself. One way that reconciliation was established, was through the atonement. The word atonement in the Bible is deemed an Old Testament term; appearing only once in the New Testament, which is in the book of Romans 5:11. The meaning of atonement according to Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology is, “that God has…

standing victorious. This country which goes by its Hebrew name of Israel which means “God may prevail”, has continually been defending themselves against the imperialistic form of the Arab Palestinians. Israel at all times being surrounded by their adversary are constantly watching their back, figuratively speaking. This relentless tussle has been going on for thousands of years. It has been said to date back from the story of Abraham in the Bible where there was a family feud between his…

the 144,000 male virgins (7:4-8) stem from the number twelve, twelve thousand from each of the twelve tribes of Israel. The woman clothed with the sun (12:1) wears a crown of twelve stars to effectively using the woman as a symbol for Israel, God’s people who bore the Messiah. New Jerusalem (21:1-22:5) sounds like a broken record with its exhaustive chanting of twelve. There are twelve gates with twelve pearls, the twelve tribes of Israel inscribed upon them, and twelve angels to stand guard. It…

the New Testament's account of the life of Jesus Christ. Athiests, agnostics, and Christians alike all doubt the feasability of the events depicted in the New Testament. 2In a world where science rules, it is unsurprising the events depicted in the Bible would be scoffed at by many, shrugged off as absurd. Others question how a book can last centuries in human hands without the story it tells being altered. 3Undoubtably, there is immense doubt as to the reliability of the Gospels, whether or not…

OT2100-Week Three-Sacrificial System Discussion God is holy, and the sacrificial system was the means by which God ordained for the people to atone for their sins and remain in right relationship with Him. According to Victor P. Hamilton (2015), “The first seven chapters are devoted to a description of the sacrifices ordained by God that bear on the perpetuation of the relationship of humankind with God. Worship without sacrifice is inconceivable. Wherever sin has driven a wedge between God…

the future, even if they have struggled in the past. I will prove that the inclusion of Daniel’s visions in the Hebrew Bible serve the function of reflecting the ideal of Divine ordinance in granting Jewish power and supremacy in the future. These visions draw upon stories throughout the east, but are reworked in order to benefit a Jewish context. They reinforce the covenant of Jewish people with God even when the structure and themes are in direct reference to a previously established…
