“Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God.” J. Wesley
We have finished the Hebrew Scriptures, but a lot happened in the centuries following. Empires rose and fell, and the largest empire the world has ever known emerged and set the stage for Jesus and the Gospel. The Hebrew people were busy writing new books as well as translating the Hebrew Scriptures into the new language of the people.
We finish up the Hebrew Scriptures with a look at the Minor Prophets. They are called the Minor Prophets not because they are less critical but because they are shorter than the Major Prophets. These shorter books pack a big punch and significantly impact the New Testament.
We conclude our look at the Major Prophets. These writings had a profound effect on the New Testament, and much of the imagery in John's Revelation comes straight from them.
As we exit Wisdom Literature, we enter into the last part of the Old Testament, the Prophets. This week, we begin with the Major Prophets and how these books influenced the writers of the New Testament. We will also discuss the differences between Old Testament Prophecy and the New Testament gift of Prophecy.
The Book of Job is a tough book to understand. However, once you understand how Eastern wisdom and philosophy work and the presuppositions the characters hold, it starts to make sense.
