people in the Old Testament that fulfil a type of its future anti-type. The historical type will share various qualities with its future anti-type. These qualities can be in the form of an event or personal characteristic. Typology is useful in prophetic study because many of the very same events that have already taken place may likely happen in some form again involving the type’s anti-type. Jesus is the most common anti-type found in the Bible because most types in the Old Testament point…

Overview: God calls Jonah to preach to Nineveh, but Jonah refuses and runs away on a boat that he is later thrown over into the sea. Jonah was swallowed by a large fish and prayed for forgiveness, so God made the fish spit him out onto land. God once again sent Jonah to Nineveh where the people except the message and repent. Jonah is furious that they were saved and his prophecy of their distraction does not come true. Behind the Text: When Nineveh is mentioned in the book of Zephaniah, that…

then it cannot be perfect. For the Jews of the Old Testament, righteousness was, contrary to popular belief, not brought upon by obeying the laws and statutes of God through prayer, sacrifice, and everyday life. These rule-based actions were simply methods by which people could live a holier life and remain close to the standard laid out for them, the one that showed very clearly the disparity between righteous living and sin. Even in Old Testament times the way to righteousness was through…

Varner talks about how most Jewish people overlook this part, because they only are interested in their own glory instead of the glory of Christ. He then addresses what a Messiah is, one who delivers a group, which in the old testament meant that the Messiah would deliver them away from evil and into good. This concept in itself is great, in fact it 's necessary, however what the Jews failed to see is that being saved requires you to sacrifice your heart to God, which also means…

First of all, the Holy Spirit gives believers the freedom to grow in sanctification and to glorify God. Believers have freedom simply because it is God’s gift to us, thus it can only be exercised in faith by walking by the spirit. (“galatians 5:13-26”) God has not given this freedom so people can live their lives for their own pleasure, but for the first time, they can do what God desires out of love for Him. The Holy Spirit gives true believers this desire to serve God. Believers will not enjoy…

Let the dead bury the dead.” (Sheriff Tate, Chapter 30)…

The main Biblical idea behind a covenant means a coming together of two or more parties. Our text, Dictionary of the Old Testament Pentateuch, defines the term as “a solemn commitment guaranteeing promises or obligations, undertaken by one or both covenanting parties” (139). The modern world equivalent is called a contract, which typically outlines promises that the parties are agreeing on. In the Bible the word covenant is used in many different contexts. Specifically in Genesis, these are…

Introduction and Purpose of Journal: In the initial issue of Christianity and Crisis, Reinhold Niebuhr dedicates the fledgling journal to the clarification and defense of a Christian thought process that recognizes the lesser evil of war compared with unrestricted tyranny. He separates this from the more common ideal of stoic principled pacifism- which, if accounted for in all societies, would end, or at least minimize, all human violence. Niebuhr refers to this utopia-seeking group as…

Alfred Pennysworth, butler of Batman once said “some men just want to watch the world burn” in reference to Batman’s villain, the Joker. A similarly destructive attitude is festered in the antagonist; Iago of Shakespeare’s play Othello. Iago is motivated by an undeserved hate toward the protagonist, Othello, which leads to chaos and sparks a classic Shakespearean tragedy. Throughout the play, Iago allows jealous suspicion and anger to fuel a hate for the Othello. From Iago’s perspective, he…
