Recommended: Old testaments covenants

The heart of the Old Testament second edition is a book written by Ronald Youngblood. Robert Youngblood wrote this book with a goal of showing people that the Old Testament is not any different from the New Testament, and should not be treated as a separate entity. In the book, Youngblood identifies the nine themes that form the pillar of the Old Testament. He then discusses these nine themes of the Old Testaments with supporting scriptures from the New Testament. The nine themes include monotheism, covenant, law, sovereignty, theocracy, sacrifice, election, redemption and faith (Youngblood, 1998).

Theocracy is demonstrated in Psalm 97:1, where it states that the earth should be glad since the Lord reigns. In the Old Testament, the holy tabernacle was the Devine residence of God and Kings were appointed as rulers. Moses was appointed by God to lead the people of Israel. God showed his presence to his people through his chosen people. People were supposed to be grateful that God did not leave them alone and even before He sent his Son, John the Baptist was there to represent them and after His Son, He sent his Holy Spirit as a helper to his people. In his book, Youngblood discusses about the law of the Lord. As written in Psalm 19:7, the law of God is perfect. The Bible explains what should be considered right or wrong. Jesus said that “out of the heart, the mouth speaks”. He goes on to say that, it is not what goes into the mouth of a person that makes him unclean, but that which comes out of the same mouth (Youngblood, 1998). Gods Laws can be seen in the Ten Commandments where He outlines what people should not do. In the Old Testaments, these laws guided believers on what choices to make before Christ came. In the New Testament, these laws were seen as means of salvation. These laws help believers to grow in faith and to love God. 1 John 5:3 says those who have faith in God do not find his commands

Bible Defense Of Slavery Analysis

313 Words | 2 Pages

Josiah Priest was a popular American nonfiction writer of the early 19th century. His books and pamphlets about standard and speculative history and archaeology sold thousands. Although Priest appears to have been poorly educated, he attempted to portray himself as a well-educated man in his books. Priest is often identified as one of the creators of pseudoscientific and pseudo historic literature. Evidence of these beliefs can be found in Josiah Priest’s essay the “Bible Defence of Slavery” that supports the institution of slavery.

David And Goliath: A Short Story Analysis

934 Words | 4 Pages

Essay 6 Underdog stories are almost like folklore; they provide inspiration for all people, saying that even if you are not advantaged you should be able to succeed. However, are successful underdogs really disadvantaged and are the “favorites” really advantaged? Malcolm Gladwell in David and Goliath argues that the underdogs may be the advantaged ones and the favorites may be the disadvantaged ones by analyzing several case studies which contain either hidden advantages for the Davids or the unknown disadvantages for the Goliaths. Two particular case studies of interest were the story of Vivek Ranadive and the story of Emil “Jay” Freireich.

Living during the time of the inquisition, Yonah learns to adapt to his surroundings and strategically plan how to live through it.

Exegetical Analysis Of Ezekiel 1-3 God

367 Words | 2 Pages

In Ezekiel 1-3 God is once again demanding someone, Ezekiel, to follow His every command against those who have been rebellious. I found it interesting that Ezekiel sat in Israel, watching and listening, overwhelmed for a total of seven days. This is a recurring amount of time that pops up occasionally, beginning in Genesis. Just as He did with the Egyptian Pharaoh and Moses, God sent Ezekiel to the Israelites knowing that he could not change their ways or their minds, perhaps even preventing it. However, he is still told that he must warn these people of their timely death or it will be on his conscious.

The Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible

The Old Testament is the founding document which consists of the history, origin, and civilization of Gods people Israel. It has been and continues to be a sacred scripture for both Jews and Christians and plays an increasingly influential role on their beliefs, practices, art and literature. The Jews consider the Tanak to be the Bible, also referred to as the Hebrew Bible by scholars, while Christians prefer to use the term Old Testament. Jews and Protestants agree on the content of the Tanak and the Old Testament but they arrange that content differently. The Hebrew Bible is not only referred to as the TaNaKh, an acronym made up of the Hebrew letters of words Torah, Nevi’im and Ketuvim that was first assembled and conserved as the divine
