MODULE 4: SESSION 19: Plot In Biblical Narrative: The Story of Jonah

Thank you for sharing, Brother David. The Bible is a complex piece of literature with several layers of meaning, even within the same story.

INTERCESSORY PRAYER
CHAPTER 7
Interceding for revival
This is best shown in the book of 2 chronicles:7:14
Revival is very necessary especially when there are signs of backsliding.It should not be done sorely for the purpose of making the church numbers grow and should not be emotional.It is sovereign, extraordinary work of God through and in…

Very true. We should always be alert in the spirit to check on the status of the church and pray for a revival in case of a spiritual decline.

Intercessory prayer course
Chapter one.The whole chapter is very insightful on the knowledge of intercession. What has opened up my new level of understanding is the three levels of intercessory prayer. I have read the verse in the book of Matthew 7:7_8 countless times but today i have come to know a new revelation about that scripture.…

MODULE 4: The Snake and the Humans
SESSION 18: The Shrewd Talking Snake
The Hebrew word arum translated as “prudent, cunning, or sensible” is used to describe the snake in Genesis 3. This term is not inherently negative and does not necessarily imply trickery or falsehood. Instead, it can mean shrewd or discerning, qualities often…

Interesting reflection from word study. A complex story indeed. I’d add that the serpent may be shrewd, even wise, but certainly not innocent. But the weight of disobedience cannot be put completely on the serpent, man is to blame for choosing to eat from the wrong tree. Glory to God for redemption in Christ.

Thank you Sir, this is correct. What intrigued me the most is the pairing of both words naked and shrewd to mean “arum”.

HEAVEN AND EARTH
MODULE 4: SESSION 18: The Dry Land
The biblical authors portrayed the dry land as a disc surrounded by and resting on the waters. It is set up on pillars that God upholds by his power. It is always under the narrative that its foundations are in the waters and waters referred to as the demarcation or its boundaries. The In…

INTRODUCTION TO THE HEBREW BIBLE
MODULE 4: Interpreting Biblical Narrative
SESSION 18: Literally Representation and “Reality”
Biblical narrative forms two third of the whole Hebrew Bible where the remaining one third is poetic narration. When we read biblical narrative, we are reading an interpretation of the biblical events within the…

Great summary, @davidmapugilogmail-com
The text interprets itself. This is one principle that Bible students must fully accept in order to do justice to the text. When we do not have enough information in the text on which to base our interpretation, the next place to look is the immediate and broader literary contexts, then…
