accountable to maintain the standards of God’s covenant. Failure to do so ultimately brought the curses of the covenant on both Israel and Judah (Deut 28:15-68). Each king virtures and faults were the ultimate reason they were rejected by God. The Israelites asked for a king because it was…

Rahab was a model of hospitality, mercy, faith, patience and repentance in her interaction with the Joshua spies. Salmon was a prince of the house of Judah, and thus, Rahab, the one-time heathen harlot, married into one of the leading families of Israel and became an ancestress of our Lord, the other foreign ancestresses being Tamar, Ruth and Bathsheba. Role of Rahab Rahab as we see from the Old Testament…

left chronicled places he conquered in the Asiatic campaign. A conclusive examination of topographical list points to a campaign that was undeniably fixed against Israel and the non-Judahite parts of the Negev, eluding almost entirely the Kingdom of Judah. Shishak’s crusade is mentioned to in Kgs…

broke out with the white in the 1830s, after that is when most Indian tribes started taking captives. Like the Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, and Wichita tribes. Captives was mostly fraught and lots of hardships, The captives survival mostly depended on the captor and that could vary from tribe to tribe. Different tribes varied on different ways to treat their captives most tribes treated captives with unexpected respect. Tribes would adopt captives into their family and raise them as one of their…

The name “Zechariah” means “the Lord (Jehovah) remembers.” In the Old Testament this name is used over twenty-nine times. Zechariah was a postexilic prophet during the restoration from Babylon. He was born in Babylon from a priestly family that returned to Jerusalem with some 50,000 other exiles. Like Jeremiah and Ezekiel he was both prophet and priest. Jewish tradition credits him with being one of the Great Synagogue, a body which is thought to have gathered and preserved the sacred writings…

O Come, O Come Immanuel “O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel” These words float through the speakers of the radio, church and department store this Advent season. They speak to the desire in the hearts of Christians who wait for Jesus to come again. However, these words hold deeper meaning than the birth and second coming of Christ. The prophesy of the Immanuel…

For this class, I learned a lot of material covered throughout the Old Testament. I learned about the chosen people, their mistakes, their punishment, and how God showed his grace even when they disobeyed. However, there is one group of people that kept the descendants of Abraham throughout their time, the prophets. These people were chosen messengers of God’s word, and even though the messages weren’t always pretty, they were always true. As a result, I have decided to give an insight on the…

differences portray an alternate meaning for a separate audience and purpose. 2nd Kings 21:10 and 2nd Chronicles 33:9 both share with the audience how Manasseh’s wickedness surpassed all the Amorites who had ruled before him, and his role in making Judah sin with his idols. After this point, both divert in opposite directions with Chronicles adding how Manasseh was deported to Babylon, only then humbling himself in this place of despair, while also praying to God to bring him back to his…

Israelites scattered over Canaan. Their memory quickly faded of God’s work and the religion of cultures surrounding them started to influence them. Baal worship quickly came into the lives of the Israelites. Once they disobeyed God and married within other tribes, they picked up more from their culture. This happened when they became scattered across Canaan and for those who failed to destroy the idols to false gods. Baal worship included a dark side of worship which was religious prostitution,…

on story telling for many generation and only recently documented. The Ute Indians have a strong link with the Paiute Indians. This is because, according to the language similarities and its subtle changes, it is assumed that these two tribes were once a single tribe less than 1000 years ago. This left me wondering about the history of the myth. Is the myth less than 1000 years or has it been in existence before the Utes made it into the…
