The Geographical Context V. 1-4

During this unit of human geography, I have learned so much about religions, ethnicities, and even culture. For example, I learned about the religion Islam and how it is a religion of peace just like the Hindu religion and as well as the Buddhist religion and much more others. These religions and some others have much in common whether they accept it , these religions and some more are all peaceful religions and all teach good morals and principles to the followers, everyone following footsteps of good people and their good actions and/or deeds. When I was reading chapter 7 ( ethnicity) I learned that ethnicity also has to do with culture and that the chapter before that one, we were reading about ( folk culture) and how it much ties in with

Once the he was chosen he was brought to Memphis where he was enthroned in his own palace located south of the temple Ptah. Everyday he was let free to roam in the courtyard of the temple for devotees to observe.

1-Conquering poverty and disease must be a global effort. 2-If the nations of the world fail to lend a helping hand when tragedy strikes an individual country, the disastrous repercussions can spread globally. 3-Without outside funds supporting a country's economy during times of economic disaster, that country’s infrastructure might be at risk of a complete collapse. 4-When one country's economy falls, a domino effect can occur. 5-Thus, the global economy suffers when an individual country's economy falls. 6-Similarly, when disease ravages a country, that country's ability to care for its citizens becomes almost impossible. 7-Without emergency medical supplies from other countries and medical assistance from global organizations such

Setting (7:1–13). “After this, Jesus went around in Galilee, purposely staying away from Judea because the Jews there were waiting to take his life. But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus’ brothers said to him, ‘You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things show yourself to the world.’ For even his own brothers did not

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Israel’s geography was important to the Israelites in ancient times because it helped them with their daily needs. Israel is located next to the Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on earth below sea level. Back in ancient times, the area where most people lived was in the land of Canaan. The land of Canaan is located west of Mesopotamia and between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The Jordan River separated the Israelites from the other people. Indeed, this was an important aspect at the time since it gave them water for their daily needs. The Jezreel Valley is another important land feature

3) And as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately saying tell us when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?

For this assignment I have decided to write an exegesis of Matthew 17:1-13. I have chosen the New International Version (NIV) as it is easier to read and understand. The New Spirit Filled Life Bible commentary explains that the book of Mathew was written around A.D 50-75 (Hayford 1321). The author is not exactly known, but it is attributed to Matthew. The major theme of this book is that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, and that he is the Son of God.
