Book excerpt: This book is the author's doctoral dissertation, made available here directly by the author. This dissertation is also available on the ProQuest Dissertations database under the title, "The Glory of Yahweh, Name Theology, and Ezekiel's Understanding of Divine Presence" (2011). The work looks at two different biblical conceptions of how divine presence operates. Through Ezekiel's portrayal of the Glory of Yahweh, the prophet offers an understanding of earthly divine presence that differs in important ways from how the divine presence is understood in Deuteronomistic thought. From his exile in Babylonia in the sixth century B.C.E., Ezekiel depicts God's Glory with no exclusive connection to the Temple or the land. The Glory vacates the Temple to allow for its destruction and appears in Babylonia, where God disputes the contention that the exiles are now far from him. This schema contrasts sharply with the Deuteronomistic theology of the one "chosen place." Ezekiel's portrait of the Glory finds its inspiration in the Priestly account of the Exodus wanderings before the Tabernacle's existence. In Priestly tradition, this was the only time the Glory ever appeared outside a sanctified structure. These appearances occurred outside Israel, while the people were dislocated, without a physical sanctuary - a situation homologous to Ezekiel's own.

Download or read book By the River Chebar written by Daniel I. Block and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-08-05 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many readers the book of Ezekiel is a hopeless riddle. We still find many features of the man and his message difficult and sometimes even shocking, if not offensive. The bizarre opening vision catches us off guard and tempts us to stop reading. However, if we persist, and if we meditate long and hard on individual utterances and sign actions, we will discover that despite the strangeness of the man and his utterances, this is the most clearly organized of the major prophetic books. Individual prophecies are clearly marked by headings and often by conclusions. If we persist, we will also discover that from a rhetorical perspective, this priestly prophet knew his audience; he recognized in Judah's rebellion against YHWH the underlying cause of the divine fury that resulted in the exile of his people and the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 BCE. But he also recognized that YHWH's judgment could not be the last word. Because his covenant was eternal and irrevocable he looked forward to a day of spiritual renewal and national restoration. This is the first of two volumes of essays on Ezekiel and his book. The seven general essays and two studies of particular texts in this collection explore the times, the message, and the methods of the prophetic priest.

Download or read book Introduction to the Prophets written by Paul L. Redditt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-03 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing in a conversational rather than a scholarly tone, Paul Redditt assumes little or no prior knowledge of the Old Testament as he presents and introduces the Major and Minor Prophets in the canonical order of the English Bible. The chapters of Redditt's Introduction to the Prophets discuss the place of each book in the canon; the literary setting of each book; their structure, integrity, and authorship; the main genre(s) in each; special features of each book; basic emphases of each book; and problems -- theological, literary, or historical -- raised by a study of the book. Among other things, Redditt demonstrates that the prophets were both "foretellers" and "forthtellers," and he argues that the Old Testament prophets developed the concept of monotheism. Each chapter ends with questions for further reflection. Concluding the volume are a helpful glossary and several indexes.

Download or read book They Shall See God written by H. Allen Hanson and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8). The Bible progressively reveals a glorious description of God the Father, beginning with Moses in the book of Genesis and ending with what John saw in the book of Revelation. The author has done massive research showing that the Bible is full of descriptions of the glory of God. This is a unique book, one of kind, about the visual glory of God. It is incredible that nothing has been written about this aspect of the glory of God since one of the basic meanings of glory is visual brilliance and splendor. It is true that no man has seen God because He has hidden him Himself for several reasons. Man would die if he saw Him. Man would make an idol of Him. God desires that man have faith in an unseen God. Many theologians maintain that God cannot be seen, that He has no face or form because He is spirit, invisible, and omnipresent. The book addresses these concepts. Jesus, however, said that He has seen God and that angels see His face. This book should be in the shelves of every seminary, Bible school, minister's study, and in the hand of every person as a help in Bible study or in seeking to know more about God. May it inspire every Christian to anticipate that day in heaven when they shall see Jesus and God the Father.

Download or read book Parallel Bible PR NASB Am written by Hendrickson Publishers and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2006-07 with total page 1601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Precisely Literal, Richly Revealing" Pairing the most literal English translation available with an illuminating in-text exposition of each verse in the Bible, this outstanding resource will helps strengthen your grasp on God's Word. By comparing the precise NASB with the magnified sentence structure of the Amplified Bible, readers are better able to appreciate the meaning of the scriptures as understood by their audience in the original languages. Known for its word-for-word literal accuracy, the New American Standard Bible, updated edition, is the #1 choice for in-depth inductive Bible study. And through its unique use of synonyms and definitions, the Amplified Bible both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text by placing amplification in parentheses and brackets after key words or phrases. Through multiple expressions, greater emphasis is given to the divine message as reflected in the original Greek and Hebrew. Now readers can benefit from both translation approaches with this side-by-side comparison that offers a more enriching experience with God's Word. NASB 12--For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 13--But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love. AMPLIFED BIBLE 12--For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection of realitys in a riddle or enigma], but then when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood by God]. 13--And so faith, hope, love abide faith--conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To many readers the book of Ezekiel is a hopeless riddle. However, if we take the time to study it, we will discover that despite the strangeness of the man and his utterances this is the most clearly organized of the major prophetic books. If we persist, we will also discover that from a rhetorical perspective, this priestly prophet knew his audience; he recognized in Judah's rebellion against YHWH the underlying cause of the divine fury that resulted in the exile of his people and the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 BCE. But he also recognized that YHWH's judgment could not be the last word. Because his covenant was eternal and irrevocable he looked forward to a day of spiritual renewal and national restoration. This is the second of two volumes of Block's essays on the book of Ezekiel. The essays in this volume explore the theme of Kingship in Ezekiel--both his assessment of Judah's historical kings and his hope for a restored Davidic King/Prince--and the mysterious visions concerning Gog's attack on restored Israel (Ezek 38-39) and concerning the new temple (40-48). Block brings to bear decades of study of the book to open up fresh insights on the ancient text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mysteries of the New Jerusalem is the third book in the Mysteries of the Everlasting Kingdom series. It deals with the astonishing details about the coming New Jerusalem and how it will affect you! We won't be going to heaven (John 3:13), but heaven is coming to us (Rev. 21:2-5) Where will you be during the Great Tribulation? A great many people assume that ""the church"" will be spared the anguish of the Tribulation by being ""raptured"" into heaven. Others believe that ""the church"" will flea to a place of safety on earth, such as Petra, but not stay in the ""place"" for the full 1260 days, opting to spend a year in the ""third heaven."" Others plan to be in a place on earth the entire time. Some hope that believers will be protected in their homes as the nations around them are being decimated. Consider the evidence presented here and ask yourself if a Place of Safety is to be directly above us in plain view!

Download or read book God Authored and Approved Brain Drain written by Emmanuel Oghenebrorhie and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term Brain Drain or Best Brains Drain/carting away is only a derogatory reference to God intended concept of maximizing the spectacularly skilled persons He sent to live and add great value to mankind in each generation. It is peddled by persons who have failed in their responsibility to manage such special God-sent individuals to benefi t themselves and their territory optimally. When some fail examinations, rather than take responsibility for their poor performance and double their efforts to turn their failure in their success, they would choose to fi nd fault with the examiners, script markers and graders. The two major ways to stop acclaimed oppression is either to make the oppressor stop any how or resist the oppressor into stopping. When Laban would not stop cheating Jacob, commonsense made Jacob opt to withdraw his services from Labans employment without notice. He did not continue to shout blue murder without doing something tangible from his own end. In fact, Jacob did not waste his time seeking mediation by the elders or leaders and rulers of Labans nation of Haran also known as Padan-Aram. Some call it taking charge of how others treat you. Prolonged accusation of being oppressed is a sign of weakness or laziness, foolishness, planlessness, and even outright stupidity. After prolonged mourning over being mocked for childlessness, Hannah made concerted effort to put an end and God blessed her effort to the regret of her mocker and maligner. Enjoy a happy reading.
