Category Archives: – Thru the Bible Series

We began this series on January 11, 2017 and continues to this day.

It chronicles our ongoing trek through the Bible beginning in Genesis, though our trek has not followed a 100% traditional order.

We have attempted to keep books whose contents are related in time, as much together as possible with some noteworth exceptions.

The specific chapters covered are NOT usually part of the title of each post making specific scriptures a little tricky to find by a simple “search”.

To compensate for that we have a page dedicated to this series which lists each of the scriptures we’ve covered so far as a link. It is our hope that this will help aid you in your studies….God Bless!

The Book of Psalms – Overview & Structure

Posted on by

The book of Psalms is like a Bible within a Bible.

It was divided into 5 books by the ancient Hebraic community, has several authors and spans over 500 years of Israel’s history.

It has a structure which capitalizes on primary themes, speaks of the fall of man, the earthly kingdoms of Israel, the exile/post-exile periods and promises the everlasting Kingdom of Messiah.

It tells its stories through recounting Jewish history & personal times of defeat and triumph.

It is an intensely personal and relatable composite of songs/poems which has essentially served as the hymnal of the Jewish and Christian communities for thousands of years!

God states this then asks Job, “Who then can stand against Me?”

Job repents by saying, “I have heard about You, but now I see You!”

God encourages mercy out of Job for his friends and then restores all he lost 2 times over!

Job Behemoth

Look at the Behemoth which I made along with you

Posted on by

God confronts the argument by which Job had contended with God in matters of justice. He hypothetically invites Job to take the throne, scepter and crown for a moment to see if he can rightly judge all humanity for a moment.

Then God goes back to focus on His creation of two extraordinary creatures, the first of which is the Behemoth who is the “first of the ways of God”.

Elihu speaks of the Wonders & the Power of God

Elihu begins to break down Job’s defenses.

First he dismantles his prideful assumptions.

Then he introduces the notion that Job’s trials are tests of his character/

Next he suggests that the reason why Job has not seen God in all of this is because he was looking in the wrong place, that sometimes in the suffering and afflictions that God sometimes reveals Himself.

Finally Elihu encourages Job to consider that God is all around him in all the displays of his wonders and power seen throughout creation.
