animal sacrifices on this day. In verses 5 and 7 we read Aaron, the high priest was to select two goats for a sin offering for the people. He was to present them before God. Then he was to cast lots to select one "for the Lord," which he (Aaron) was to offer as a sacrifice (verses 8 - 9).This goat represented Jesus Christ who would be slain to pay the penalty for our sins. The other goat served a completely different purpose. Leviticus Chapter 16 verse 10 reads: "But the goat chosen by…

The verse that I chose for my history of interpretation is Romans 9:6-16. This verse is significant in soteriology because it signifies that God is the only one that has the right to decide whom will be saved and whom will be damned. In other words, God saves individuals he thinks to deserve a place in his kingdom and perish people who do not deserve a place in heaven. This passage is also important because it teaches Christians about divine election, how individuals are predestined to salvation…

end of the verse, the whole band—including Jordan himself—repeated lines of the word “Loey.” The song’s layout evidently depicts the strategy of switching in and out of recitations; in this piece, Louis Jordan interestingly does it by lightly singing within the first verses until the band promoted the collaborated follow-up.

This verse does not contain a single reference to gender. It is written to include the widest audience possible. The verse refers to the geographical area covered by God’s love; ‘the world’. No area is excluded. The verse also refers to ‘everyone’. No man, woman or…

theological construction of Ecclesiastes 3 with focus on verses 1 to 15 which is on the topic of time. I have not included verse 16 to 22 here as from verse 16 onward Qohelet introduces his new topic on judgement in a typical manner by using “I saw something” signaling another reflection. Although he mentions in v. 17 “a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed”, I do not see any significant connection of these verses with verses 1 to 15. In discerning the theology of Ecclesiastes,…
