NOAH TO ABRAHAM
MODULE 3: SESSION 14: The Ark as a Symbolic Eden and Tabernacle
God’s deliverance of the righteous from the waters is a common image throughout the Bible. The author of Genesis 19 weaves in themes, words, and phrases from earlier stories to connect Lot’s story with the others and to provide an additional layer of commentary. The…

MODULE 3: SESSION 13: The Ark as A Symbolic Eden and Tabernacle
The word tebah, translated as “ark,” is an Egyptian loanword that means sacred shrine, sarcophagus, or box. The ark is a symbolic Eden temple. Its design matches the three-tiered structure of sacred spaces: the garden in Eden, the tabernacle, and the temple. The…

what inspires me from your statement above is that the Ark was a representation of the garden of Eden which is like a complete representation of all creation in unity and obedience in one place, it is not just the garden of Eden rather the entire creation of God, which translate from the beginning of creation to the end of creation and walking…

MODULE 3: SESSION 12: Noah the Righteous Remnant
A key concept for understanding the narrative flow of the whole Bible is that the righteousness of one can count for the many. The story of Noah is first time we see this in the Bible. The Bible itself provides the questions to interrogate God’s character such as why would the…

Creative Bible Study
Chapter Six: Principles of Interpretation
In this chapter I have learned importance of rightly dividing the word of truth or interpreting the word of God.
The word “Rightly dividing” originate from the old testament where sacrifice was divided in three portions ,one for God,the priest and the one sacrificing.
I learnt about…

I like this principle that “Bible must always be interpreted according to it’s context, points to be considered must be who wrote the book?whom was the book directed to? what is being said? why is it being said? when was the book written?.”

Great summary! We cannot be true in our Bible interpretation if we do not first accept it as the authoritative word of God.

MODULE 3: God’s Warning About the Flood
SESSION 11: The Rebellion of the Sons of Adam
Being in covenant with God has nothing to do with being ethnically a part of Abraham’s family. It means imitating Abraham’s trust in God. The outcry of the ruined land is a key motif showing us how human corruption and suffering prompts God to…

Human corruption prompting God to act, praise God for His son who is the answer for our corrupt world.

MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Giants in the Ancient Near Eastern Context
Genesis 6:1-4 is the origin story of Babylon, the empire that will take Israel into exile. The Hebrew Bible offers a sophisticated critique of monarchy. The problem of evil originates in both human and spiritual rebellion, and the Nephilim and the other giant…

MODULE 2: SESSION 9: The Identity of the Nephilim
Nephilim translates to “the fallen ones,” as in those who fall in battle. Ancient Israel’s neighbors celebrated those who won glory through conquest in battle. The Gibborim and Nephilim were heroes to the Babylonians and Canaanites, but the biblical authors see their violence as…

The story of the Nephilim is very interesting. Knowing their identity changes our perspective on the rest of OT Narrative.
