Chosen people

God has called you to bless the Jews, His chosen people, and He gave you this burden. He will use your gift to remind them of His faithfulness and goodness towards them. Justice cries out on behalf of the Jews, and in giving your gift, you will help administer justice to this persecuted people. The third reason that you should sell your properties is that this call is God’s answer. You were praying for the money to

covenant. The crucifixion of Jesus reveals the new covenant where God declared that he will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and that “[He] will write the law in their minds and write it on their hearts. [He] will be their God, and they will be [His] people,” (English Standard Version, Jeremiah 31:32-33). By inscribing the law in their hearts and minds, his people will not forget their promise to Him. In summary, God instilled a covenant in both Judaism and Christianity in which the

The book of Deuteronomy was written in the time as the Israelites were making their way into the Promised land. The Book of Deuteronomy was written for many reasons. One of them being that, since during tha time Moses was used as a messenger to the people, he was needed to give the Israelites retrospective on what God has accomplished for them thus far. The book was also used for the constant mention of what the Lord our God has truly done for them. The name of the book has the meaning of “ Second

Scientific Revolution: An Important Event in the Human History The moments when I write these words are history, so we could say history deals with the past. However, the past has not passed completely. The future will also be history. History is a very dynamic notion and concept. What is history is really hard to define. Change is central to history. Yet, history is not only about details. There are certain things that demonstrate true history. These events have varied in time and space. Among

mighty one (Isaiah 17). God did promise Israel that it would survive through a remnant. With these few remaining they will look to the Lord, “then at last the people will look to their Creator and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel” (Isaiah 17:7, NLT). Egypt would be judged by God for the idol worship and the enslavement of his people. He would make their lives of a devastation (Isaiah 19:4-8); however, one day he would bring restoration through the revelation of himself to this nation (Alexander

wilderness. (Tamez, 13) By sending Ishmael out into the wilderness to form a nation, it fulfills the “fill the earth” promise that God made to Abraham. (Sarah Shectman, "Abraham's Family", n.p.

is shown to be the same God over his people. From the start of Judges, war is a prevalent theme. This theme is present in the first verse when the Israelites asked, “Who shall go… against the Canaanites to fight against them?” Time and time again the Lord raised up judges to deliver Israel from the oppression they faced. Even Gideon was referred to by God as a “mighty warrior’’ in chapter 6. Similar to the judges, Samuel was called by God to deliver the people. According to the New Oxford Annotated

of view, the Jewish people were considered as the chosen people of God. Abraham, who is regarded as the father of Christian faith and to whom God first revealed himself, was a Jew. The ten commandments, which serve as a guide for Christian behavior, were revealed by God to a Jewish man named Moses. Jesus Christ, who Christians recognize as the son of God and God himself, was born among Jews and hence was also a Jew. So, there is a perceived connection between the Jewish people and God. It is very

The start of this passage we see that Solomon was man that Loved the Lord. That might sound strange to you because of the story that you know about Solomon and how his wives when he was old were able to turn his heart to other “gods”.(1 Kings 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.) But the scripture is clear in 1 Kings 3:3 that Solomon loved the

consistently end once they return to God and His ways again. It is not until Israel rejects God as their king and puts a human in His place, when Israel sees oppression from both outside and inside sources. The outside sources come from the surrounding peoples, like the Philistines, the Moabites, the Edomites, and so on. The inside oppression, however, stems from the Israelites themselves. This is where Amos, a prophet of God, comes in. Amos is alive after the time of the unified
