I will scatter you among the nations; but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.” (Nehemiah

1. Well, Moses was suppose to approach God with no sandals on. God told him that “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” When Moses saw the fire in the bush, but the bush wasn’t burning, he became curious, and decided to go over and see the strange sight. God asked Moses to take out his sandals. Moses reply was, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt” I am just one man, a prophet Lord, how are my to tell the pharaoh

The book “Waiting for the Land: The Story Line of the Pentateuch” is written by Arie C. Leder. The book describes the narrative problem of the refusal of the divine instruction and the exile of God’s presence, which will bring forth other conflicts. Looking into the conflicts requires one to understand the structure, plot and scope of the Pentateuch as a whole and in individual books. Leder argues that the Pentateuch leaves the Israelites hanging, waiting for the land. The main storyline of the

God is shown as a truthful God who can be trusted to make miracles happen and a God who keeps his word. Salvation History then continues through Moses, and his exodus of the chosen people out of Egypt.

Ed Reed, Section 06 ENGL 1001W John Winthrop: Puritan Fanatic or Religious Realist Attempts at English colonization of what would later become the United States of America in the early 1600’s had appeared wholly unsuccessful. Between 1608 and 1624, only 3,400 of the 6,000 English settlers of Jamestown survived due to starvation, disease, and attacks from the natives (Stahle).

The Book of Hosea is one among the several books of the Hebrew scripture and appears as the first in the order of the twelve Minor Prophets.
