- 26. Part 2 The Middle
- 49. Part 3 The End
Hinweis der Redaktion
- - Ambitious because cover whole Bible in < 30 minutes. Why know this story though? . . .
- Comparison with other books on controversial subjects. They don’t fit together.
- - Why story format? We remember stories & can understand better through reflecting on them. How history can be taught. - Novel analogy: Sometimes think, “why is this here?” Later, see significance of things that seemed minor or confusing.
- Will skip much, just highlights. A “race” through the Bible. Since will cover so much so quickly, will post this at our website so you can go back over it if you like.
- Will indicate on slides what books are covered--mainly Historical Books. Book’s types will be indicated by the color of the writing.
- Refer to Genesis 1 & 2.
- Things decline quickly.
- Bible says Noah was righteous and walked with God. (But after the flood, Noah and his sons don’t always behave well.)
- One man for blessing all nations.
- - After one year, no son. Two years, five years, 10 years and so on, no son. Still trusts in God. - God says he counts Abe as righteous because of his trust in God—a big theme for the Bible.
- How old? Abe ~100 and Sarah ~90 years old.
- Goes against cultural traditions of choosing the eldest. Shows God not bound by human traditions.
- Changed through a night of wrestling with an angel. Israel means “prevails with God”
- Except for Joseph, we get the idea, “These people are not so great”. It is confusing that Joseph is the one who trusts in God, but he seems to be the one who suffers the most.
- The brothers truly regret what they had done to Joseph. Joseph forgives them all. Where part one ends.
- Just a few. All these chosen people don’t seem to often have outstanding character. Bible honestly records serious flaws.
- An Egyptian dynasty change resulted in their status change.
- Moses’ background described in these Exodus chapters.
- Laws include how they are to worship God and devote themselves to God only.
- For over a year, complained and rebelled. Therefore, 40 years wandering in the dessert. (Not because men would not ask for directions)
- Though imperfect, this generation does pretty well.
- Judges covers Israel’s dark ages. Even the heroes are really flawed.
- Again, the Bible is very honest about the flaws of even the “heroes”, and the consequences of their bad choices.
- Why not end his dynasty completely? Because of God’s promise to David.
- Presented as a great tragedy.
- Again, brings back because of promises God made to Abraham and David.
- Last books of prophecy to these Jews are warnings.
- Were to be an example to the world, but did not seem to live up to their purpose.
- Some places in Bible where promises were given are shown here.
- Most of the world is still untouched at this point. Man’s heart seems to be the problem.
- Christians are genuinely changed, but they also still face unchanged problem areas. The Epistles address this a lot.
- Persecution continues through today.
- 2 symbols for the Holy Spirit in the Bible—Dove (gentle, goes where wills) and fire (burns out impurities). Jesus sent.
- Though not good, hardships now become a means of creating good in us when we trust in God.
- Final judgment and punishment
- Will review the whole story in just 3 slides now.
- That’s the story. Bible claims it’s a true story—a story that gives us insight into life’s purpose, our true condition and our important choices.
- Point explicitly stated in 2 Peter.
- - Story of great uncle who said he would accept just before dying. But he never had the chance because of a swift coma. - Also, don’t think that would have been true trust. When sense God saying to do, but don’t respond, heart hardens.
- Good side = side for good, ours and everyone’s
- Bible gives answers, but also raises many questions.
