Africa Activity 5 months agoJACOB
MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Isaac Blesses Jacob
The scenes of Yaaqov and Esau asking blessing from their father are constructed to mirror each other: Yaaqov’s deception and blessing reflects Esau’s revelation of the truth and non-blessing. Yitskhaq introduces new vocabulary to the Eden blessing theme. Esau’s non-blessing links him to previous…

MODULE 1: Session 1 - What On Earth is the Hebrew Bible?
I am glad to know that Jesus was raised by the Old Testament and his disciples were exposed to the same Bible. Jesus was so knowledgeable in this Hebrew Bible that, a number of times he responded to questions thrown at him by the phrase “have you not read?” or “it is written”. Each time he made such statements, he did refer his audience to…

MODULE 3: SESSION 12: Joseph the Wise Deliverer of Egypt
Yoseph is lifted out of the pit, shaved, and given a whole new set of garments. In the Bible, shaving often marks a transition between two phases of life or states of being. The doubling in Pharaoh’s dream points to one reality confirmed by God, giving us further insight into the…

MODULE 3: SESSION 11: Dreamers in Pharaoh’s Prison
The theme of dreams and visions in Genesis is foundational to later apocalyptic literature and emphasizes the important role of dreams in the world of the biblical authors. A three-day period often indicates that the theme of testing appears nearby in the narrative. The Yoseph story…

Africa Activity 5 months agoHello,
Bible Institute Introduction was quite nice to me for it helped me understand what matters more is integrity working on own understanding with the fear of the Lord

You are welcome Sir

Sure, opening of our understanding to the Biblical verses is what leads us to the wisdom that salvation is available for the grab by believing in the sufferings, crucifixion, or death and resurrection of Jesus. This is what Paul told his protege Timothy in 2 Tim 3:14-15 that the knowledge of scriptures is to make one wise (Revelation)…

MODULE 3: SESSION 10: Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife
Yoseph acts as both the forbidden tree and the human who must listen to God’s voice and pass the test. Biblical authors use keywords to evoke earlier stories while being dynamic in how they form the analogies. Potiphar’s wife, who seeks illicit sex for personal pleasure, is set in…

Africa Activity 5 months agoEXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 1: SESSION 6: Confronting the Firstborn
Moses’ return to Egypt in Exodus 4:18-31 is a tightly constructed literary unit that creates the first part of a frame to Israel’s deliverance story. Zipporah’s intervention delivers Moses’ life. This carries forward the theme of women delivering the deliverer. Moses’ identity as a…

MODULE 1: SESSION 5: Commissioning Moses
Mount Horeb and Mount Sinai are two names for the same “mountain of God.” The burning bush is a rich symbol with many layers of literary and theological meaning. The identity of Yahweh doesn’t hang on the meaning of the name but on the demonstration of his character.

Africa Activity 5 months agoEXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 1: SESSION 4: Moses Delivered and Commissioned
Moses’ naming foreshadows his role as deliverer, but it also embraces the ambiguity of his identity. When God identifies himself, he also solidifies Moses’ identity. His identity is anchored and amplified as God identifies himself “I am the God of your father, God of Abraham,…
