Download or read book The Books of the Old Testament in Your Palm written by Ayuba Mshelia, and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about introductions to the books of the Old Testament of the Bible, which is a compendium of God's divine Message to mankind that is uniquely written by forty divinely select people as His spokesmen. How many of these forty select men wrote the Tanakh or the Old Testament? This synopsis is a guide to the types of questions asked in writing this book. Who, for example, is the author of the Torah or the Pentateuch? Are all the books written by one person? Or are there others? What are the themes and purposes of each book? Does the difference in the arrangement and number of books between the original Hebrew Tanakh and our Old Testament make any difference to its being canon or faith? What are "the books of the kingdoms?" Why don't you see such titles in the Old Testament? What are the themes of some of the poetical books? For instance, why do good and righteous people suffer and the ungodly prosper? Does God care? How was the first ancient attempt of a holocaust foiled by Hadassah, also known as Esther, a beautiful Jewish orphan who became the queen of King Ahasuerus of Persia? What happened to the culprit? Why was the four-hundred-year period of the judges the most ungodly and apostate in Israel's history. Why was the Davidic covenant threatened by Bathsheba's marriage and Absalom's insurrection? What is your take on Daniel's "seventy weeks" prophecy? (Dan. 9:24). What does the phrase "seven weeks, and threescores and two weeks" mean to you as used in Daniel's prophecy? What about "A time, times, and a half" (Dan. 12:7) appearing in Daniel's prophecy? What does Ezekiel's vision about the "valley of the dry bones" coming to life mean to Israel and to you as a believer? The Old Testament begins with the story of creation and life but ends in Malachi (4:6) with a divine threat of a curse. Are you free from that curse as an individual or still under it? These are the many compelling and poignant questions laboriously dealt with in the book.

Download or read book Reconstructing Jerusalem written by Kenneth A. Ristau and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerusalem—one of the most contested sites in the world. Reconstructing Jerusalem takes readers back to a pivotal moment in its history when it lay ruined and abandoned and the glory of its ancient kings, David and Solomon, had faded. Why did this city not share the same fate as so many other conquered cities, destroyed and forever abandoned, never to be rebuilt? Why did Jerusalem, disgraced and humiliated, not suffer the fate of Babylon, Nineveh, or Persepolis? Reconstructing Jerusalem explores the interrelationship of the physical and intellectual processes leading to Jerusalem’s restoration after its destruction in 587 B.C.E., stressing its symbolic importance and the power of the prophetic perspective in the preservation of the Judean nation and the critical transition from Yahwism to Judaism. Through texts and artifacts, including a unique, comprehensive investigation of the archaeological evidence, a startling story emerges: the visions of a small group of prophets not only inspired the rebuilding of a desolate city but also of a dispersed people. Archaeological, historical, and literary analysis converge to reveal the powerful elements of the story, a story of dispersion and destruction but also of re-creation and revitalization, a story about how compelling visions can change the fate of a people and the course of human history, a story of a community reborn to a barren city.

Book excerpt: THE MESSIANIC TEMPLE: THE LORD IS HERE is written by divine instruction and direction concerning the Millennial reign of Christ on Earth; when He will dwell with His people and reign upon Mount Zion with His Jewish Prince on the throne of David. He will execute the righteousness and judgments of God upon the nations of the world with His Rod of Iron. This Temple is established in the Heart of God, and physically on Earth. It is the Restoration of the Garden of Eden on Earth and His total consummation of His eternal purpose of the creation of man in His image to be one with Him through our LORD Jesus Christ. In the book therefore, you will learn: *The relevance of the LORD's covenant with Abraham to the Millennial Reign of Christ *His unfailing covenant with David and the Levitical Priesthood *Salvation and the Restoration of the Jews to their Promised Land fulfilling the LORD's covenant with Abraham that his descendants will possess the land of promise forever. *The laws and ordinances of the Temple of the LORD upon His Holy Mountain The true sons of Jacob - not the present Jews *You will understand from the message in the book that there shall be no secret rapture or people left behind to face tribulation. *Finally, why the land of Palestine is not the LORD'S choice for the rebuilding the Third Temple. . The redemption and restoration of the house of Israel and Judah which shall became one nation in the Hands of the LORD, shall be by the spirit of burning and judgment. According to the word of God: For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness (Isaiah 10:22). Only one third of the people of Israel and Judah (the Jews) shall be saved and brought into the Promised land, two third shall be cut off and perish as prophesied by Zachariah that: ... it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God (Zechariah 13:8-9). It shall correspond with the judgement of God upon upon the whole Earth when the LORD Jesus will execute the judgement of God upon the enemies of God and Israel, purge the land of all iniquities and idol worship and settle to rule the nations of the world upon His Holy Mountain (The Messianic Temple). The LORD God will restore His marriage covenant with Israel and dwell with is people forever. His resting place shall be glorious and the whole Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of His Glory. We thank God for fulfilling this prophecy in our generation because Abraham and the prophets of desired to see what is coming in our generations. They saw it afar off and embraced it by faith. We are seeing the fulfillment. To God alone be the glory forever and ever, amen!

Download or read book The Origins of the Second Temple written by Diana Vikander Edelman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-05 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darius I, King of Persia, claims to have accomplished many deeds in the early years of his reign, but was one of them the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem? The editor who added the date to the books of Haggai and Zechariah thought so, and the author of Ezra 1-6 then relied on his dates when writing his account of the rebuilding process. The genealogical information contained in the book of Nehemiah, however, suggests otherwise; it indicates that Zerubbabel and Nehemiah were either contemporaries, or a generation apart in age, not some 65 years apart. Thus, either Zerubabbel and the temple rebuilding needs to be moved to the reign of Artaxerxes I, or Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the city walls needs to be moved to the reign of Darius I. In this ground-breaking volume, the argument is made that the temple was built during the reign of Artaxerxes I. The editor of Haggai and Zechariah mistakenly set the event under Darius I because he was influenced by both a desire to show the fulfillment of inherited prophecy and by Darius widely circulated autobiography of his rise to power. In light of the settlement patterns in Yehud during the Persian period, it is proposed that Artaxerxes I instituted a master plan to incorporate Yehud into the Persian road, postal, and military systems. The rebuilding of the temple was a minor part of the larger plan that provided soldiers stationed in the fortress in Jerusalem and civilians living in the new provincial seat with a place to worship their native god while also providing a place to store taxes and monies collected on behalf of the Persian administration.
