Download or read book The United Kingdom of David written by Doug Krieger and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text reveals that the United Kingdom of David is, in reality, the Tabernacle of David. The "Jerusalem Council" in Acts 15:6-29 deliberated upon the incursion of the Nations (aka Gentiles) into the early Ekklesia. "Certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, 'Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.'" (Acts 15:1). Peter contended that such a "yoke" placed upon ethnic believers coming into the Ekklesia from among the nations were not able to bear such a yoke--even, Peter said, our forefathers could not bear such (he was likely alluding to the "Breach of Jeroboam" in which the "yoke" was resoundingly rejected by the 10 Northern Tribes; consequently, the 10 Northern Tribes (aka Israel, Jezreel, Samaria, Ephraim) broke away from Judah (this was a divinely orchestrated division due to King Solomon's idolatry). However, the 10 Northern Tribes refused to keep Jerusalem/Zion as their center of worship and established foreign gods (cows) in Ephraim and in Dan to be their centers of worship. Eventually, James concluded the matters by citing Amos 9:11-12 as the immediate fulfillment of that prophecy to be what was happening there and then in the early Ekklesia - it was not a "taste" of future millenarian bliss as some evangelical commentators presume but an immediate fulfillment of Amos' prophecy, to wit: "And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: 'After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David [aka United Kingdom of David], which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up; so that the rest of mankind [lit. "Edom" as per Amos 9:12; likewise the Septuagint Version] may seek the LORD, even all the Gentiles [aka "the nations"] who are called by My name, says the LORD who does all these things.'" (Acts 15:15-17)The test is in keeping with the current outburst of Commonwealth Theology sweeping the Church proposing that the "extremes" of Reform/Catholic Theology which claim that they exclusively are the Israel of God and Evangelical Dispensationalism which claims they have nothing to do with Israel since the Church is shrouded in Mystery and is wholly apart and separated from Israel of the earth/flesh - both are outside the real meaning of THE ISRAEL OF GOD (Gal. 6) and ALL ISRAEL (Rom. 11). Ephraim was "swallowed up" of the nations/Assyrian Empire according to Hosea 8. What happened to these "Ten Lost Tribes?" They became a bridge to the Gentiles, to the Nations into which they were assimilated; only to be found by the Great Shepherd of the Sheep who was sent to them for their redemption and inclusion, once again, into the very Commonwealth of Israel. This text goes into critical detail in fulfillment the accounting which took place in John 11:49-52: "And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, 'You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that ONE MAN SHOULD DIE FOR THE PEOPLE, and not that the whole nation should perish.' Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year HE PROPHESIED that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of god who were scattered abroad. Then, from that day on, they plotted to put Him to death. Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called EPHRAIM, and there remained with His disciples" (John 11:49-54). What was happening here was extrapolated by John, the apostle, to be a major prophetic fulfillment. The crucifixion of Christ would not only provide salvation through His death but bring God's children together who were scattered abroad into ONE! This is the COMPLETE GOSPEL message: Personal Salvation to all who would call upon the Lord through His death and ultimate resurrection and Peace between hostile peoples!
Download or read book David and Solomon written by Israel Finkelstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exciting field of biblical archaeology has revolutionized our understanding of the Bible -- and no one has done more to popularise this vast store of knowledge than Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman, who revealed what we now know about when and why the Bible was first written in The Bible Unearthed. Now, with David and Solomon, they do nothing less than help us to understand the sacred kings and founding fathers of western civilization. David and his son Solomon are famous in the Bible for their warrior prowess, legendary loves, wisdom, poetry, conquests, and ambitious building programmes. Yet thanks to archaeology's astonishing finds, we now know that most of these stories are myths. Finkelstein and Silberman show us that the historical David was a bandit leader in a tiny back-water called Jerusalem, and how -- through wars, conquests and epic tragedies like the exile of the Jews in the centuries before Christ and the later Roman conquest -- David and his successor were reshaped into mighty kings and even messiahs, symbols of hope to Jews and Christians alike in times of strife and despair and models for the great kings of Europe. A landmark work of research and lucid scholarship by two brilliant luminaries, David and Solomon recasts the very genesis of western history in a whole new light.
Download or read book Family Britain 1951 1957 written by David Kynaston and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-11-02 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Britain continues David Kynaston's groundbreaking series Tales of a New Jerusalem, telling as never before the story of Britain from VE Day in 1945 to the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. 'The book is a marvel ... the level of detail is precise and fascinating' Sunday Telegraph 'A wonderfully illuminating picture of the way we were' The Times As in Austerity Britain, an astonishing array of vivid, intimate and unselfconscious voices drive the narrative. The keen-eyed Nella Last shops assiduously at Barrow Market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines, relishing the detail of suburban life, brings up her children in Chingford; the self-absorbed civil servant Henry St John perfects the art of grumbling. These and many other voices give a rich, unsentimental picture of everyday life in the 1950s. We also encounter well-known figures on the way, such as Doris Lessing (joining and later leaving the Communist Party), John Arlott (sticking up on Any Questions? for the rights of homosexuals) and Tiger's Roy of the Rovers (making his goal-scoring debut for Melchester). All this is part of a colourful, unfolding tapestry, in which the great national events - the Tories returning to power, the death of George VI, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth, the Suez Crisis - jostle alongside everything that gave Britain in the 1950s its distinctive flavour: Butlin's holiday camps, Kenwood food mixers, Hancock's Half-Hour, Ekco television sets, Davy Crockett, skiffle and teddy boys. Deeply researched, David Kynaston's Family Britain offers an unrivalled take on a largely cohesive, ordered, still very hierarchical society gratefully starting to move away from the painful hardships of the 1940s towards domestic ease and affluence.
Download or read book Victorious Century written by David Cannadine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of nineteenth-century Britain by one of the world's most respected historians. "An evocative account . . .[Cannadine] tells his own story persuasively and exceedingly well.” —The Wall Street Journal To live in nineteenth-century Britain was to experience an astonishing and unprecedented series of changes. Cities grew vast; there were revolutions in transportation, communication, science, and work--all while a growing religious skepticism rendered the intellectual landscape increasingly unrecognizable. It was an exhilarating time, and as a result, most of the countries in the world that experienced these changes were racked by political and social unrest. Britain, however, maintained a stable polity at home, and as a result it quickly found itself in a position of global leadership. In this major new work, leading historian David Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of nineteenth-century Britain. Britain was a country that saw itself at the summit of the world and, by some measures, this was indeed true. It had become the largest empire in history: its political stability positioned it as the leader of the new global economy and allowed it to construct the largest navy ever built. And yet it was also a society permeated with doubt, fear, and introspection. Repeatedly, politicians and writers felt themselves to be staring into the abyss and what is seen as an era of irritating self-belief was in fact obsessed with its own fragility, whether as a great power or as a moral force. Victorious Century is a comprehensive and extraordinarily stimulating history--its author catches the relish, humor and staginess of the age, but also the dilemmas faced by Britain's citizens, ones we remain familiar with today.

Book excerpt: Considered to be one of the greatest of Scotland's medieval kings, David was never expected to succeed to the throne. Before coming to the throne David made a career for himself as an Anglo-Norman nobleman and made a good marriage and rich inheritance with many estates spreading from Normandy to northern England, as well as a principality of his own in southern Scotland. When David finally came to the Scottish throne in 1124 he faced a long and bitter struggle against rivals for the crown. David then set out to modernise the kingdom modelled along European lines. He continued to add to his kingdom including parts of Yorkshire and Lancaster, tipping the balance of power in Britain firmly in facour of the Scotts.

Download or read book AngloArabia written by David Wearing and published by Polity. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UK ties with Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies are under the spotlight as never before. Huge controversy surrounds Britain’s alliances with these deeply repressive regimes, and the UK’s key supporting role in the disastrous Saudi-led intervention in Yemen has lent added urgency to the debate. What lies behind the British government’s decision to place politics before principles in the Gulf? Why have Anglo-Arabian relations grown even closer in recent years, despite ongoing, egregious human rights violations? In this ground-breaking analysis, David Wearing argues that the Gulf Arab monarchies constitute the UK’s most important and lucrative alliances in the global south. They are central both to the British government’s ambitions to retain its status in the world system, and to its post-Brexit economic strategy. Exploring the complex and intertwined structures of UK-Gulf relations in trade and investment, arms sales and military cooperation, and energy, Wearing shines a light on the shocking lengths to which the British state has gone in order to support these regimes. As these issues continue to make the headlines, this book lifts the lid on ‘AngloArabia’ and what’s at stake for both sides.

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

This book was released on 2000-09-04 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ideological Origins of the British Empire presents a comprehensive history of British conceptions of empire for more than half a century. David Armitage traces the emergence of British imperial identity from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries, using a full range of manuscript and printed sources. By linking the histories of England, Scotland and Ireland with the history of the British Empire, he demonstrates the importance of ideology as an essential linking between the processes of state-formation and empire-building. This book sheds light on major British political thinkers, from Sir Thomas Smith to David Hume, by providing fascinating accounts of the 'British problem' in the early modern period, of the relationship between Protestantism and empire, of theories of property, liberty and political economy in imperial perspective, and of the imperial contribution to the emergence of British 'identities' in the Atlantic world.
