outline
this outline: font Terminal Regular 9pt
1# outlines are attempted without dependency on chapter & verse
chapters typically are divided thematically, or by paragraph division
occasionally they are combinations of several different outlines
2# strategy
Intros may sit outside of the Chapters to summarize the book
Generally Groups of chapters are labeled and divided
Generally Chapters are summarized in a line
If possible primary divisions are broken into sections based on paragraph
Notes may be at the end
3# note that a strong historical approach is being developed here
2006/08 Often, notes such as names and places are referenced
by a description in the first place that the word is used.
Subsequent references point to the first reference.
example: Amos 1:1 is noted with "(see: Tekoa @ 2Sam 14:2)"
The notes themselves contain all scriptures in each book, but only the first in each book.
A plus sign indicates more references are in the book.

1Cor 2:4-5 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.
1Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.
2Cor 12:9 And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
Col 1:29 For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.
1The 1:5 for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
2Tim 3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
commentaries
opinions
* means no one really knows and no one wants to admit it
(Psa 39:6, Job 28:12-13, Rom 1:22, 1 Cor 1:20)
meaning is often not clear:
* God does not explain everything to everyone (Deu 29:29, Dan 12:9, Mark 4:11, Acts 1:7...)
* God sometimes only wants us to get a glimpse (Exo 24:10/33:23, Isa 6, Eze 1, Matt 17, Rev 4...)
* confident assertions must be judged (Deu 13/18, Matt 7:6, John 7:24, Acts 17:11)
* avoid arguments (not discussions) (Titus 2:9, Titus 3:9, 1 Tim 1:4, 2 Tim 2:23)

* NEVER sacrifice Bible & Prayer time. EVER.
No Sunday School, Social efforts, Work activity, Nothing. Work this priority out with God alone.
* For SS, reread the chapter several times. Hear what God is saying to you.
Try to identify major themes,
especially anything that God repeats.
* Ask yourself:
"What is God leading me to respond with?"
"Why does God repeat themes?"
"How can I pray for the power to embrace His direction?"
Why are you in this Church?
What has God called you to do?
How can we help you?
Are you Taking?
being Ministered to?
Healing? Growing?
being Discipled?
Are you Giving?
are you Ministering?
Tithing? Praying?
Discipling?

In v01-5, Why is God so specific?
Gen 2:10-15 (pre flood location of Eden)
Gen 5, 10, 25:12-18, 36... Exo 6:13-25 (genealogy),
Joshua - 2 Chronicles
Matt 1:1-17 (genealogy), Luke 3:23-38 (genealogy),

Deu 1:1-5, 3:21, 4:3,9, 10:21, Deu 11:2-3,7
Subjective: Faith is not by sight
Matt 16:16, Heb 11:1,6,7,27; Rom 8:24, 2Cor 4:18; 5:7
In either case:
Psa 10:4, 14:1, 53:1; Psa 36:1, Rom 1:18-20, Rom 3:18
Rom 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
v02 took 11 day journey from Horeb by Mount_Seir to Kadesh-barnea...
see Gen 14:06
v06 You have stayed long enough at this mountain...
(compare Num 10:11 "cloud was lifted")
* Is there anything in your life in which God might be nudging you:
"You have stayed long enough at this mountain"
v07 advance into the hill country of the Amorites...
(compare Gen 15:16 "iniquity of the Amorite", Amos 2:10 "take possession of Amorite land")
* Who did the Amorites replace at Heshbon & Bashan?
Num 21:26 "...Sihon fought against Moab and taken all his land..."
Deu 23:3-4 "No (Ammonite, Moabite...) may enter the assembly of the LORD,
because they did not meet you with food and water..."
Isa 15-16 "A prophecy against Moab..."
Jer 48 "Concerning Moab...", Jer 49 "Concerning the sons of Ammon..."

Jer 48:47 "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab In the latter days", declares the Lord.
Jer 49:6 "But afterward I will restore The fortunes of the sons of Ammon", declares the Lord.
compare Eze 16:49-50,53
Eze 16:49 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50 They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
Eze 16:53 However, I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters, and your fortunes along with them

#21 complaint, 3 Battles | 1 complaint of impatience
* There were many complaints. Why does God focus on this one?
// grumblers were encouraged, distrust had consequences, rebellion
v26 grumblers: "But you were unwilling to go..."
v27 You grumbled...and said, "The Lord hates us..."
v29 You were encouraged: "...do not be afraid"
v30 The Lord your God... will fight for you...
v32 You remained untrusting: "In spite of this, you did not trust in the Lord your God..."
v34 There were consequences: "When the Lord heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore:"
v40 But as for you, turn around
v43 Rebellion continued: So I told you, but you would not listen.
v44-46 There were consequences:
v44 The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you;
they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 You came back and wept before the Lord,
but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.
46 And so you stayed in Kadesh many days—all the time you spent there.
* What principle can we see from openly rebelling against the Lord?
* Is this a principle or an individual situation?
* What did they learn from this?
* What have you learned from this?

v23 Caphtorites removing Avvites
* v07 What is being said about Discipline & Punishment?

How do your complaints measure up to this comparison?
* v04, 9 compare Edom, Moab, & Ammon to
v15 Amalek, Emim, Anak, Rephaim, Horim, Amorites
Pruning vs Annihilation?
What does this reveal about Gods destruction?
* Compare Caphtorites to Indian Sruti, Rig Veda 7:18,33,83

* Contrasting unifying country vs equality
* Seeing how God handles the giants He commands us to face
* God DOES have a Plan and a Purpose (Luke 4:27)

v01-11 Amorite Ashtaroth king Og at "Battle of Edrei"
v03 ... Og king of Bashan with his whole army marched out to meet us in battle at Edrei
v04 ...we took all his cities... sixty cities... region of Argob
v05 (included) ...cities fortified with high walls and with gates and bars
v09 examples of renaming: Hermon by Sidon is Sirion, by Amorites as Senir
* v11 What was the significance of this battle?
-1490 -1436 pharaoh Thutmose 3 called mentions Atharaa, Hebrew: Edrei, modern: Daraa
* Bashan was an Amorite territory, Ashtaroth was the city (or capital) of Og.
Also known as Ashtaroth-Karnaim.
* -2000 Iraq / Two Akkad-Amorite tablets describing Amorite phrases in Old Baylonian dialect of Akkadian
acted as a "tourist guidebook" for ancient Akkad speakers who needed to learn Amorite
French Journal of Assyriology and Oriental Archaeology published the research by:
German Jena University NearEast professor Manfred Krebernik &
London University Babylon literature professor emeritus Andrew George
v12-20 Division of the Land
* Was the division of land a necessary compromise?
v21-29 Moses pleas to see Land
v23 At that time I pleaded with the Lord:
v28 But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him
* God says no. Describe Gods way of handling this?
* What other times has God said no?
* Is division action a compromise?

there is no other...
because He loved your fathers...
driving out nations greater than you...
to give you their land...
Know therefore today, and take it to your heart...
that it may go well with you and with your children...
* Matthew Henry: God made it, not with our fathers, (that is) not with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to them God gave the covenant of circumcision (Acts 7:8), but not that of the ten commandments. The light of divine revelation shone gradually, and the children were made to know more of Gods mind than their fathers had done. "The covenant was made with us, or our immediate parents that represented us, before Mount Sinai, and transacted for us."

* KASL: Kill, Adultery, Steal, Lie

v08 "You shall not make for yourself an idol"
* You shall not Define or Limit God
* Use Gods Terms for Himself / Let God define Himself
* Define Things, Ideas, People His Way / with Gods Word
* Let Him define Right and Wrong
* Do not give glory to Things
* Do not expect Security, Happiness, or Life from Things
* Do not demand Happiness from Things
* Do not wholeheartedly serve Things, Ideas, People
* Do not serve anything with more importance than God
* discuss "Ritual Decalogue" proposed for Worship: Exo 34:10-28
10 Then God said, "Behold, I am going to make a covenant...
11 Be sure to observe what I am commanding you this day: behold, I am going to drive out...
* 12 Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land...
* 13 tear down altars, smash sacred pillars, cut down Asherim
* 14 for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God...
15 otherwise you might make a covenant...
16 and you might take some of his daughters...
* 17 You shall make for yourself no molten gods.
* 18 You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread...
* 25a You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread
* 25b nor is the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover to be left over until morning
* 19 The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me...
* 20a You shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey...
* 20b None shall appear before Me empty-handed.
* 21 You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest...
* 22a You shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks, that is, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and
* 22b the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
* 23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God...
24 For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders...
* 26a You shall bring the very first of the first fruits of your soil into the house of the Lord your God
* 26b You shall not boil a young goat in its mothers milk
27 ...the Lord said... Write down these words... according to these words I made a covenant with Israel
28 ... Moses wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments
Personally I believe:
God has made clear what the 10 commandments are.
This list is an addendum relating to the previous idolotry.
The analysis justifies Q authorship beliefs.
The motivation is to minimize autority & accountability.
* Law Summaries
see: Lev teaching
The discovery proposed here:
People, at all times, and in all cultures, consistently create burdensome laws on a large scale.
(I believe) this is a strategy we use to mask our behavior. It allows us to pick and choose, so that is is we who always define for ourselves what is right and wrong.
We need the Laws of God in our Heart.

and with great terror and with signs and wonders;

Tjaru, Silu, Shihor
Tjaru (aka Tharu) was an ancient fortress on the "Way of Horus" (Exo 13:17)
Tjaru was also a frontier town in the desert used to banish criminals.
Tjaru is now consider by Archeaologists to be at the west end of the "Way of Horus".
Originally, Tjaru was identified as Tel AbuSeifa, 4 km east of Qantarah.
Tjaru has more recently been identified as Tell Heboua (aka Tel el-Habua) near Qantarah.
Tjaru has been associated to the name Silu mentioned in the Amarna Letters.

Silu (aka Akkad: "Silu", Greek: "Sele")
Amarna_Letters
Amarna_Letters
EA 382 mentions Silu mayor Turbazu being slain at the city gate, as well as 2 other mayors
EA 335 mentions Silu mayor Turbazu death
EA 288 by Abdi-Heba of Jerusalem says Turbazu was slain in the city gate of Silu (Tjaru)
The Amarna_Letter "Silu" location suggests a central or East location on the "Way of Horus"
Silu may be the same as the city of Tjaru according to translators.
Shihor (aka sihor, sheeKhore)
probably refers to the "Brook of Egypt" or a nearby city.
Shihor of Egypt (Hebrew: Shihor misrayim "dark Egypt"),
The Biblical reference suggests a central location on the "Way of Horus"
Josh 13:3 "from the Shihor which is east of Egypt..."
Josh 19:26 "...and it reached to Carmel on the west and to Shihor-libnath."

v19-23 analysis: spirits used for justice
Josh 9/2Sam 21:1-14 Gibeonites revenge shows us God requires honoring vows.
2Sam 24:1 Davids Census (with Araunah) shows us the Lord was angry with Israel.
1Chr 21:1 Davids Census (with Ornan) shows us God probably used Satan to bring justice.
1Kin 22:19-23 Micaiahs Vision shows us the Lord allows evil spirits to bring justice.
see: Psa 18:26, 2Sam 22:27
v19-23 Micaiah prophesy shows how Gods Sovereignty uses spirits for justice
2Sam 21:1-14
Gibeonites revenge shows us God requires honoring vows.
Gibeonites were promised protection by Joshua (see Josh 9:15, 19-20).
Saul broke the vow with Gibeon, resulting on famine (see: 2Sam 21:1-14).
The Lords anger results in the protection of Israel being dropped.
1Kin 22:19-23
Micaiahs Vision shows us the Lord allows evil spirits to bring justice.
v21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, "I will entice him."
v22 The Lord said to him, "How?"
And he said, "I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all his prophets."
Then He said, "You are to entice him and also prevail. Go and do so."
This offers a resolution to the variation of the census accounts.
see: 1Kin 22:19-23, 2Sam 24:1, 1Chr 21:1
see: Psa 18:26, 2Sam 22:27
2Sam 24:1
Davids Census (with Araunah) shows us the Lord was angry with Israel.
Now again the anger of the Lord burned against Israel,
and it incited David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."
This verse says the Lords anger burned against Israel.
This anger moved David against Israel.
The result was for David to call for a census,
apparently a direct insult to the Lord.
The result was the punishment the Lord had intended for Israel.
Note: Whatever Israel did, resulted in the loss of protection of Israel.
1Chr 21:1
Davids Census (with Ornan) shows us God probably used Satan to bring justice.
Then Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel.
The Lords anger resulted in the protection of Israel to be dropped.
A similar scenario is seen in Saul breaking the agreement with Gibeon.
Without this protection, Satan is free to stand up against Israel.
This would give Satan the opportunity to move David against Israel.
This scenario may have similarity to Micaiahs Vision.
In other words, David was moved against Israel,
because Satan was free to act in a way that would cause David
to make a punishable decision.
Another scenario could have been that God brings a drought, as in Sauls case.
In that case Israel is punished for Sauls bad choice (of breaking the vow to Gibeah),
since his authority represented the community.
Note that Sauls choices may also have been a cause to punish
an unanamed sin of Israel.
In this case Israel is punished for Israels bad choices,
using Davids authority thru his bad choice (of numbering Israel).
Presumeably Davids offering represented his repentance as well as Israels.

notes:
Deu 31:18 "And I shall surely hide My Face from them on that day"
Talmud suggests this references Esther, since hide in Hebrew is 'haster, astir'.
Gods name is not in Esther, except possibly in word acrostics within Est 1:20, 5:4, 5:13, 7:7.
Gods title from Exo 3:14 may be referenced in Est 7:5.

v03 The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause."
v06 So the Lord said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power, only spare his life."

11 Zophar
asserts Gods mystery
Naamathite, Zophar: "Chirping" "rising early"
v02 Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, And a talkative man be acquitted?
v05 But would that God might speak, And open His lips against you,
v07 Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?
v13 If you would direct your heart right
v15 Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect, And you would be steadfast and not fear.
12-14 Job
Job desires to speak
12 Job Job mocks, God controls
v03 But I have intelligence as well as you; I am not inferior to you. And who does not know such things as these?
v04 I am a joke to my friends, The one who called on God and He answered him; The just and blameless man is a joke.

v14 Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

15-21 (07) Cycle #2
wicked always suffer, Advocate/Redeemer, wayfaring men witness
15 Eliphaz
you should not complain, wicked always suffer
you are bad
4 But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God.
5 Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
7 Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
you should not complain
11 Are Gods consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you?
12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
wicked always suffer
20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.
27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh,
28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.
16-17 Job
He has shaken me, Advocate, who will be guarantor?
16 Job
v12b He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
v19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high.
v20 My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God.
v21 O that a man might plead with God As a man with his neighbor!
17 Job
v03 Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?
v04 For You have kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them.
v10 But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.
v11 My days are past, my plans are torn apart, Even the wishes of my heart.
18 Bildad
the place of him who does not know God
v04 O you who tear yourself in your anger; For your sake is the earth to be abandoned,
Or the rock to be moved from its place?
v21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God.
19 Job
you torment me, He breaks me down, Pity me pity me, Redeemer
v02 How long will you torment me And crush me with words?
v10 He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.
v21 Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me.
v25 As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.
20 Zophar
wicked mans portion from God
v05 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?
v29 This is the wicked mans portion from God, Even the heritage decreed to him by God.
21 Job
wayfaring men witness
v07 Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?
v22 Can anyone teach God knowledge, In that He judges those on high?
v29 Have you not asked wayfaring men, And do you not recognize their witness?
22-25 (04) Cycle #3
increased accusation; evil appears unjudged (22 chapters in the cycle)
22 Eliphaz
increases accusation
v04 Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you?
v05 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?
23-24 Job
He does whatever, evil not always judged
23
v03 Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!
v04 I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.
v13 But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.
v15 Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence; when I consider, I am terrified of Him.
24 Job
v01 Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, and why do those who know Him not see His days?
25 Bildad
son of man, that worm
v04 How can a man be just before God...
v06 How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!
26-31 (06) Iyobs soliloquy
Gods mystery, Job right, wisdom, glory, humiliation (cruel), charity
26 Job mocks; affirms God in the "fringes of His ways"
v07 And hangs the earth on nothing.
v14 Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?
27 Job affirms his righteousness, describes the wicked
v05 Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
v07 May my enemy be as the wicked And my opponent as the unjust.
28 Job speaks of Earths treasures and Wisdoms rarity
v12 But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
29 Job recalls his glory
v02 Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me;
v12 Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.
v15 I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.
v16 I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.
v17 I broke the jaws of the wicked And snatched the prey from his teeth.
30 Job contrasts his humiliation; "You have become cruel"
v01 But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
v09 And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.
v16 And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have seized me.
v21 You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me.
v25 Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
31 Job affirms his charity
v01 I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?
v05 If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot has hastened after deceit,
v09 If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbors doorway,
v13 If I have despised the claim of my male or female slaves When they filed a complaint against me,
v16 If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
v24 If I have put my confidence in gold, And called fine gold my trust,
v29 Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy, Or exulted when evil befell him?
v32 The alien has not lodged outside, For I have opened my doors to the traveler.
32-37 (06) Elihu soliloquy
Elihu says God teaches (correction), judges; is wonderful
Buzite "contempt" from Nahor / 35:05, 36:24 the storm brews!
32 Elihu says "I am full of words"
(impetuous)
Pro 17:27 He who restrains his words has knowledge, And he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
Pro 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, Guards his soul from troubles.
Pro 26:12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
v02 He is angry, sees no one has refuted Job
v11 Claims to have listened, but ready to burst
v14 Claims to have unique arguments
v17-20 ready to burst
v17 I too will answer my share, I also will tell my opinion.
v18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.
v19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine, Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
v20 Let me speak that I may get relief; Let me open my lips and answer.
33 Elihu says God uses 3 ways to teach
(correction)
v03 claims to be righteous
v09-11 recounts Jobs words
v15 #1 claims God teaches in dreams (correction)
v17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct, And keep man from pride;
v19 #2 claims God teaches in pain
v23 #3 suggests God may use angels, Mediator
v29 Behold, God does all these oftentimes with men,
v30 To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of life.
34 Elihu blames Job, says God judges rightly, recompense on His terms
v08 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
v11 For He pays a man according to his work, And makes him find it according to his way.
v21 For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.
v27 "Because they turned aside from following Him", And had no regard for any of His ways;
v29 When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
v33 Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know.
v36 Job ought to be tried to the limit, Because he answers like wicked men.
35 Elihu says God is silent because of mans pride
(Do not demand His answer)
5 Look at the heavens and see; And behold the clouds—they are higher than you.
7 If you are righteous, what do you give to Him, Or what does He receive from your hand?
12 There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men.
He wont listen because you wont acknowledge Him
13 Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it.
14 How much less when you say you do not behold Him, The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
15 And now, because He has not visited in His anger, Nor has He acknowledged transgression well,
36 Elihu says God is righteous and a powerful teacher, Inscrutable
(Do not be cynical)
v03 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
v06 He does not keep the wicked alive, But gives justice to the afflicted.
(punishment)
v10 "He opens their ear to instruction", And commands that they return from evil
(correction)
v17 But you were full of judgment on the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you.
v22 Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?
v24 Remember that you should exalt His work, Of which men have sung.
v27 For He draws up the drops of water, They distill rain from the mist,
37 Elihu says Gods motives are wonderous
more Inscrutable; the Storm!
process wonderous,
presence wonderous!
v01 At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.
v05 God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.
v07 He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.
v10 From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
v13 Whether for correction, or for His world, Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
v14 Listen to this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
v23 The Almighty—we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

42 Job retracts, God rebukes, Jobs restored
Job retracts
v01 Then Job answered the Lord and said,
v02 I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.
v03 Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
v04 Hear, now, and I will speak; I will ask You, and You instruct me.
v05 I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear; But now my eye sees You;
v06 Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.
God rebukes Jobs friends
v07 It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.
Jobs restored
v10 The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold.
v11 Then all his brothers and all his sisters and all who had known him before came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversities that the Lord had brought on him. And each one gave him one piece of money, and each a ring of gold.

An attempt to record some of the planning that goes into presenting worship music based on the Psalms.
The goal of this planning is to honor God by using His Word to directly inspire the worship lyrics.
There is an effort to balance "new, contemporary freshness" with the original words.

v05 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...
v06 Then I said, Alas, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth...
v08 "Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you," declares the Lord...
v09 Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me...
v10 See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms...
v11 ...I see a rod of an almond tree.
v12 ...I am watching over My word to perform it."
see: "Aarons Rod"

v02 I remember concerning you the devotion of your youth,
v05 What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me
v13 For My people have committed two evils:
1 They have forsaken Me, The fountain of living waters,
2 To hew for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That can hold no water.
v14 Is Israel a slave? Or is he a homeborn servant?
v18 But now what are you doing on the road to Egypt, Or what are you doing on the road to Assyria,
v19 Your own wickedness will correct you...
v20 ...I broke your yoke... But you said, 'I will not serve!' For on every high hill
v21 Yet I planted you a choice vine, A completely faithful seed.
v22 Although you wash yourself with lye And use much soap, The stain of your iniquity is before Me...
v26 As the thief is shamed when he is discovered, So the house of Israel is shamed;
v28 But where are your gods Which you made for yourself?
v29 Why do you contend with Me? You have all transgressed against Me, declares the Lord.
v32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments... Yet My people have forgotten Me...
v34 Also on your skirts is found The lifeblood of the innocent poor;
v35 Yet you said, I am innocent;

v04 Have you not just now called to Me, My Father, You are the friend of my youth?
v06 ...Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree
v07 I thought, 'After she has done all these things she will return to Me'; but she did not return...
v10 Yet in spite of all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to Me with all her heart...
v11 Faithless Israel has proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah...
'I will not look upon you in anger. For I am gracious,' declares the Lord...
v13 Only acknowledge your iniquity, That you have transgressed... And you have not obeyed...
v15 Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding.
v16 ...they will no longer say, 'The ark of the covenant of the Lord.'...
v18 ...they will come together from the land of the north to... an inheritance.
v19 Then I said, 'How I would set you among My sons And give you a pleasant land,'
v20 Surely, as a woman treacherously departs from her lover, So you have dealt treacherously with Me...
v21 A voice is heard on the bare heights, The weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel...
v22 Return, O faithless sons, I will heal your faithlessness...

025 Lamentation
Jerusalems Present: 1 Zions Sorrows, 2 LORDs Anger, 3 Jeremiah Shares, 4 Darkness Described, 5 Prayer for Mercy
summary based on 1st phrases
chapter 1, 2, 4 each have 22 verses and are acrostic
chapter 3 has 66 verses in acrostic, so that each letter begins three lines
this produces a total of 3 additional acrostics
chapter 5 (aka 5th chapter) is not acrostic but still has 22 lines
Some Judaic commentators suggest a "Telistic" (last letter) reading,
or acrostic, mesotic, telestic reading:
"דמ םר ךהלא איבנה הירכז", which is translated as:
"Zechariah the prophet
says : your God is greatly exalted!"
However this is a very indirect analysis.
01 Lady Zions Sorrows Expressed /
"How lonely sits the city that was full of people!"
like the death of a loved one
02 LORDs Anger Expressed /
"How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger!"
wrath not anger but justice
03 Jeremiah Shares & Hopes /
"I am the man who has seen affliction because of the rod of His wrath."
lonely man speaking in grief, laments from Job, Psalms, Isaiah
3:22-24
04 Darkness Described /
"How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed!"
2 year siege of Jerusalem, contrasts
05 Prayer for Mercy /
"Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!"
not acrostic; communal prayer; lists disgraced people venting
Lord is King, but feel forgotton

Dan 1:8 But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the kings choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself.
Dan 1:17 As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of visions and dreams.

Dan 3:17-18 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."
Dan 3:30 Then the king caused Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego to prosper in the province of Babylon.
04 Insanity Neb: Tree, insane

Dan 4:19 Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.' Belteshazzar replied, 'My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!'
Dan 4:27 Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.
05 Writing Bel: Wall Writing
Bel: Wall Writing

Dan 5:17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.
06 Lions Dar: Lions Den
Dar: Lions Den

// Prophecies
07 4 Beasts, AOD & SOM

Dan 7:13 I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.
08 Vision Ram & Goat

10 LinenMan, Michael
Vision of LinenMan, Michael
Dan 10:1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the message was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision.
Dan 10:5-6 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz. 6 His body also was like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and feet like the gleam of polished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a tumult.
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.
11 North vs South Wars

"Time of the Gentiles"
Luke 21:24 "Time of the Gentiles"
Rom 11:25
Eze 30:3
Dan 2:31 - 45 represents successive Gentile kingdoms
Dan 7:01 - 27 four kings which dominate until Christ reign
Dan 8:01 - 26 gives more detail about these Gentile rulers
Rev 11:2 Jerusalem will be under Gentile rule
Rev 19:17 - 19 Beast Armies destroyed by the Lord
* Each prophecy culminates with a reference to Christs kingdom, so the times of these Gentile rulers would be all the years between the Babylonian Empire of Nebuchadnezzar and the glorious return of Christ to establish His kingdom. We are now living in "the times of the Gentiles," that is, in the era of Gentile domination.
* Rom 11:25 hints Gods purpose in the times of the Gentiles: the spread of the gospel throughout the whole world. The organization and inventions of the pagan world powers have actually aided the evangelism of the world.
* Rom 11 theme is when the Jews reject Christ, the gospel was given to the Gentiles, and they gladly received it.
* When the time is right, God will restore the entire nation, and they will come to faith in Him once again, ending "the times of the Gentiles"
Isa 17:7
ISa 62:11 - 12
Rom 11:26
Historically
* The Book of Daniel uses ancient Hebrew words not available to prospective forgers

* The "Image" at Dura was on a pedestal that was identified
* The insanity of the king is identified in Babylonian records directly and in his documented absences
* The details of the Babylonian palace are unique to this age
* Prince Belshazzar was clearly identified on tablets after being considered a fabrication
* Prince Belshazzar destruction was accurately confirmed in Persian accounts
* Darius identified by coinage
* Cessation of worship (Dan 6) is documented
* 484 high ranking officials in lions dens are named (Daniel not in list)
* The starting points of the 70 week prophecy were known to ancient authors

scripture
Matt 2:16-17, Jer 31:15
Matt 2:16-17 Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged,
and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity,
from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.
17 Then what had been spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:
Jer 31:15 'Thus says the Lord, "A voice is heard in Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping. \
Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, \
Because they are no more."'
Suetonius
"Life of Augustus", section 94, verse 3
"https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Suetonius/12Caesars/Augustus*.html"
-0063 BC
Roman Senate orders all boy babies to be killed who were born in that year.
The belief was that would stop the danger to the Republic. The order was repealed.
Octavius was born.
12000 Jews were killed in Jerusalem Temple by Romans supporting John Hyrcanus 2
+0069 +0122 AD Suetonius quotes Julius Marathus "Life of the Emperor" saying:
v03 According to Julius Marathus, a few months before Augustus was born a portent was generally observed at Rome,\
which gave warning that nature was pregnant with a king for the Roman people; \
thereupon the senate in consternation decreed that no male child born that year should be reared;\
but those whose wives were with child saw to it that the decree was not filed in the treasury,\
since each one appropriated the prediction to his own family.
Suetonius, "Life of Augustus", section 94, verse 3
Macrobius
+0450 A much later account by Macrobius appears to reference the event:
"on hearing that the son of Herod, king of the Jews, \
had been slain when Herod ordered that all boys in Syria under the age of two be killed, \
Augustus said, 'Its better to be Herod's pig than his son'"
Herods character
Herod_1 was a murderer who became more paranoid during his last 4 years
-0037 BC Mattathias Antigonus and 45 leading men of Antigonus party were killed
-0030 BC John Hyrcanus 2 strangled over an alleged plot was killed
-0035 BC Aristobulus his brother-in-law, an 18 year old High Priest was drowned
-0029 BC Miriamme killed his second wife was killed
-0028 BC Alexandra his mother-in-law was killed
-0020 BC He created a spy network to kill people suspected of revolt
-0007 BC Alexander his son was strangled in Sebaste (Samaria)
-0007 BC Aristobulus his son was strangled in Sebaste (Samaria)
-0007 BC 300 military leaders are killed (Antiquities 16:393-394; LCL 8:365)
-0007 BC Pharisees who predicted Herod would be taken were killed (Antiquities 17:42-45; LCL 8:393)
-0004 BC Antipater his son was killed five days before his own death
scale
claims vs size
Early commentators presumed tens of thousands were killed.
Martyrdom of Matthew claimed 3000 boys were killed.
Byzantine liturgy claimed 14000 were killed.
Syrian tradition claimed 64000 were killed.
Coptic sources claimed 144,000 were killed on December 29.
However, Bethlehem was a small town, with about 6 to 20 boys at that time.
A reasonable estimate of 10 to 40 boys were killed if the surrounding areas are included.
Also, neither Nicolaus of Damascus (a friend of Herod) or Josephus record the event.

-0063 +0014 Roman emperor #1 Caesar Augustus reigned from -0027 +0014 (aka Gaius Octavius)
-0051 +0021 Syria governor Quirinius was a well known Roman official.
Quirinius (aka Publius Sulpicius, Cyrenius) rose to fame as a military commander.
He conquered the Pisidian tribes of Cilician Homonadenses.
He held many roles including senator, duumvir, consul, and legate.
Quirinius was married & divorced twice, 1st to Appia Claudia, and 2nd to Aemilia Lepida.
-0012 BC Quirinius appointed a consulship.
+0006 AD Quirinius appointed legate governor, and takes a census, likely Acts 5:37.
The title "governor" was also used for the general of largest army.
It may have also referred to an earlier role for Quirinius.
Tacitus, Annals, 3.48, Josephus, Antiquities, 18.1.1
Romans census near the time of Christs birth include:

submitting
...not abandonings
Eph 5:21 and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Godly subjection = Godly submission, NOT subjugation!
submission is not slavery: John 8:34, Rom 6:16
submission is not abandoning judgment or wisdom: Matt 25:14-30
submission is not neglecting Godly action: Acts 4:19, 5:29
submission is not investing unwisely in evil people: Matt 7:6
but can mean honoring those who do not deserve it: 1Pet 2:19
others
submission is not slavery
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Rom 6:16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
submission is not abandoning judgement, evaluation, wisdom
Matt 25:14-30 Talents / Luke 19:12-27 Minas
submission is not neglecting Godly action or responsibility
1Sam 14:45 But the people said to Saul, Must Jonathan die, who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Far from it! As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.
Acts 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge;
Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered, We must obey God rather than men.
submission can mean honoring someone who does not deserve it
Gen 16:9 Then the angel of the Lord said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself to her authority."
1Pet 2:19 For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.
1Pet 3:14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled,
WHAT IT IS
Has the purpose or perpetuating life. Rom 12:10
It is based on His choices, not the control of others. James 4:7
It is enabled by confidence, contributions, and good judgment. 2Thes 3:4
Its motivation is growing righteousness, respect, and dignity in others. 1Tim 1:5
others
Rom 12:10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor;
Rom 12:17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.
Rom 13:8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
James 4:7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
2Thes 3:4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.
1Tim 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
* Phil 2:3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
Gal 5:13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.
// family
Eph 5:24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
Col 3:18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
1Pet 2:13-17 Submit yourselves for the Lords sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. 15 For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. 16 Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. 17 Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
1Pet 3:7 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
1Pet 5:5 You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Phil 1:9 yet for loves sake I rather appeal to you—since I am such a person as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus—

We are all slaves
Rom 6:6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;
Rom 6:16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
Rom 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Rom 6:19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
Rom 16:17-18 Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them. 18 For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.
1Cor 7:22 For he who was called in the Lord while a slave, is the Lords freedman; likewise he who was called while free, is Christs slave.
Gal 4:8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.
Gal 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
Heb 2:15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.
2Pet 2:19 promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
Choice is inferred
1Cor 7:21 Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.
1Cor 7:23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
1Cor 9:19 For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.
1Cor 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Eph 6:6 not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.
Phil 1:16 no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

1:8 one Gospel
v11 For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
v12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
1:13 Pauls history
2:9 (Apostleship) and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
2:11 confrontation with Peter
2:16 (faith) nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

03 Timothys encouragement

05 DOL: Day of the Lord, But we request, Himself sanctify
01 tribulation steadfastness
v05 for our gospel did not come to you in word only,
but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction;
just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
02 entrusting gospel (mother, father, chidren)
v05 For we never came with flattering speech,
as you know, nor with a pretext for greed - God is witness -
v07 But we proved to be gentle among you,
as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children.
v13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that
when you received the word of God which you heard from us,
you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is,
the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.
03 Timothys encouragement
v06 But now that Timothy has come to us from you,
and has brought us good news of your faith and love,
and that you always think kindly of us,
longing to see us just as we also long to see you,
v12 and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another,
and for all people, just as we also do for you;
04 excel still more x2, Lord will descend!
v01 Finally then, brethren, we request and exhort you in the Lord Jesus,
that as you received from us instruction as to how you ought to walk and please God
(just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.
v11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life
and attend to your own business and work with your hands,
just as we commanded you,
1 v16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God,
2 and the dead in Christ will rise first.
3 v17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air,
4 and so we shall always be with the Lord.
v18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

v13 But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord,
because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation
through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.
v16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father,
who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,
v17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
03 Lord direct your hearts, keep away from unruly
v05 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.
v06 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life
and not according to the tradition which you received from us.
v10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order:
if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
v15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

v04 God our Savior desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

see Prov 31; vital engagement, NOT mousy inactivity

notes:
* Women are not inferior; Men are not superior
* Roles of men & women ARE different: (birth, trinity function)
* Men do not respond to words in the same way (women do not require actions in the same way)
* Obedience/Submission is NOT abandoning Judgement, Authority, or Value
* Men must submit to insults, work, government
* (The Bible clearly teaches) Love is about choice, not control.
Demands that are evil or abusive reveal scenarios where submission is inappropriate
* 2 commandments are priority of interpretation
v15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children
# How are teaching & exercizing authority different? // implied in definition
# Do women teach or lead in the Bible? // yes:

01:03 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
02:18 For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.
03:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
04:10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
Priestly Ministry (of Christ)
05:05 (appointment) or 05:08-9 (perfect) Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
06:01 (pressOn) or 06:17 (oath) Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.
07:17 For it is attested of Him, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."
08:06 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
09:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

10:10 (Sacrifice) or 10:22-25 (letus) let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
11:01-02 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men of old gained approval.
12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
13:14 For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

comments
General, Authorship
General: The authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews is a great historical mystery. The writer shows a brilliant grasp of Greek, and uses a record number of words (154) that do not appear anywhere else in the New Testament. This book is the only one to state that Jesus was tempted in every way possible "as we are," and only this book explains Jesus relationship to angels, picking up on the discussion at Luke 24:23 (Road to Emmaus). This Epistle may have inspired the Gospel of Luke.
Authorship: Probably Apollos. The earliest translations of the King James Bible call it "the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews," but this is unlikely. This was not a position that was not adopted by the church until the Middle Ages. The most prominent candidates proposed have been Barnabas (according to Tertullian), Apollos (according to Luther and many moderns), Priscilla (suggested by VonHarnack), Epaphras, and Silas. No suggestion is decisive. Origen stated "God only knows".
# Christs Character
01 (v14) Christ as God
01:03; Psa 2, 97, 104, 45, 102, 22, 110
v01-02 The God that Speaks
How does God talk differently to us now?
What does this mean?
see: Deu 30:6, Psa 25:8-9, 32:8, 98:2, Isa 11:9, 30:21, 42:16, 54:13, Jer 24:7, 31:34, Hab 2:14, Matt 16:17, John 6:45, 14:26, 16:13, Phil 3:15, 1Thes 4:9, 1John 2:27
How does that difference connect to Jesus specific revelations about himself?
v03-13 the character of Christ; the character of God
v03 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
v05 "You are My Son" Psa 2:7 (1-12) "I will be a Father" 2Sam 7:8-17
v06 "brings the firstborn" Psa 97:7 (7-9)

v10-12 "of the Son He says" Psa 102:23-28
How does Psa 102 relate to Jesus? see Psa 22:1
v13 "to which angel..." Psa 110:1 (1-3, 1-7)
Matt 22:41-46 "If David calls Him 'Lord,' how is He his son?"
v14 Angels
In this chapter we read additional purpose for them.
see: Psa 103:19-22, What does this tell you?
notes:
From a Trinitarian standpoint, what verses speak the loudest to you?
Are these verses different than a doctrinal statement? If so how?
see: Psa 2, 97, 104, 45, 102, 22, 110; 2Sam 7:8-17, Isa 61:1-3
What do you think the point of the chapter is?
02 (v18) Christ as Man
02:18; Psa 8
v01-04 Pay attention to Testimony
v01-2 to the testimony; because of character, signs, testimony
What connects chapter 1 to chapter 2?
How are angels involved in revelation?
v03 To whom does this accountability apply?
v04 How or Why is evidence a priority in Gods process?
* What evidence does he use?
* Which ones are you familiar with?
V05-09 All things under Christ
Where is Pauls mystery verse?
v06 What does this approach to scripture tell you?
Psa 8:4-6
Gen 1:26-28 ...Let Us make man in Our image...
Isa 45:20-25 ...every knee will bow, every tongue will swear
1Cor 15:27 He has put all things in subjection under His feet...
Eph 1:22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet...
Phil 2:5-11 ...emptied Himself, taking the form of a bondservant...
v08 What is subjected to Who?
v09 What is the point of this comparison?
v10-18 Christs perfecting, relatable
v10 Made owner, made to suffer, Crowned with glory yet tasting death... Thoughts?
v11-12 Identifying sanctifier with sanctified is similar to John 17.
v12 Psa 22:22 (Psa 22:1, 19-24)
* How does the verse in Psalms differ in wording?
* In what ways exactly do we identify with Jesus?
v13 Isa 8:16-18
v14-18 Relating through suffering
* Identification includes temptation: If the temptation has real risk (it would have to)
* What is this saying about the choices God makes?
* How does that choice relate us to God?
notes
* What is the point of this chapter?
* Right now consider how his identification relates to you; write down a few things Lets pray

03:13; Psa 95, But encourage

v01 "Fix your thoughts on Jesus" means what exactly?
What are some examples of fixing our thoughts?
v02-06 Imagery of house: 1 Cor 3:16, Eph 2:21, 4:16
v06 Partakes vs holding fast: what unites these directions?
How are they different?
v07-11 WARNING: do not harden
* read Exo 17:1-7
* read Num 20:1-13
see: Num 27:14, Deu 6:16, 9:22, 32:51, 33:8
see: Psa 81:7, 95:8, 106:32 >> Heb 3:7-11
* read Psa 95: How is this quote different than the NT quote?
Meribah is "strife" & Massah "temptation".
How do these apply?
* Are Hardening hearts and Unbelief the same?
How do we obey His voice?
v12-19 Take care by encouraging
v12 Is Hardening > Unbelief > Falling away a real progression?
v13 What priority does encouraging have over keeping rules?
v14 compare to v06
v15 How is Psalm 95 different than most Psalm?
v16+ What does Gods judgment tell you about God?
* Does Christs "Relatability" (Chapter 2) connect here?
* How does verse 16 relate to the remainder of the passage?
* How does Israel consequences relate to us?
notes:
Heb 3:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
cf Heb 10:24

v07 see Psa 95:7 "Today"
v08 Rest from what?
v09 Compare to Rev 14:13 Rest from what?
v10 What is this asking us to do? How do we do it?
v10 For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His.
v11-16 LET US BE: Diligent, Holding Fast, Drawing Near
John 6:29
v11 LET US BE DILIGENT
What is the work of God that leads us to Rest? John 6:29
v12-13 Word exposes motives (so it can do what?)

v14-16 LET US (BE) HOLDING FAST our confession
v15 High Priest who Sympathizes, Tempted: What would His motives be?
v16 LET US (BE) DRAWING NEAR (so that we may what?)

v21 Theme: The Work that God does...
What is the work God does for our transformation?
Deu 30:6, Jer 21:33, John 14:26, 1Cor 12:6, Eph 2:10, Phil 2:13, Heb 13:21, 1John 3:22
God calls us to works we can not achieve without Him
Theme: Calling to Press On
Balancing, Fulfilling, Pressing
Balancing Faith and Works
(Deu 18:13, Matt 5:20, Matt 5:48, John 14:23; Lev 19:2, Luke 6:46, Rom 2:13, 2Cor 7:1, Jam 1:22, 2:14-26, 17)
Lev 19:2 Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: "Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy".
Deu 18:13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.
Matt 5:20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
* Matt 5:48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Luke 6:46 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
John 14:23 Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching".
Rom 2:13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in Gods sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
2Cor 7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. (IOW: Do what it says!)
James 2:14-26, 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
Fulfilling Law thru Love, Being Led
(Rom 8:2,4,14; 13:8, Phil 3:3, Gal 5:14,16,18,24)
Rom 8:4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
Rom 8:14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
Rom 13:8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. (also Rom 13:10)
Phil 3:3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,
* Gal 5:14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: Love your neighbor as yourself. (also Gal 6:2)
Gal 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
* Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Gal 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Pressing on
(Hos 6:3, Phil 3:12,14, Heb 6:1, 12:2; Deu 5:29, Psa 81:13, Isa 2:3, Mic 4:2, 1Cor 9:24, 1Tim 6:12)
Deu 5:29 Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with them and with their sons forever!
Psa 81:13 Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
Isa 2:3 And many peoples will come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord...
Hosea 6:3 So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord...
Mic 4:2 Many nations will come and say, Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord...
1Cor 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.
Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Phil 3:14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
* Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Heb 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
1Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Theme: Calling to "Let Us Love"
(Heb 3:13, 10:24,25,34; 12:14,15,16; 13:1,2,3,4)
Heb 10:24 and let us consider how to stimulate/spur/provoke/stir/motivate/encouraging one another to love and good deeds,
NASB/NIV/KJV/ESV/NLT/MSG
Heb 03:13 But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today", so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Heb 10:24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
Heb 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
Heb 10:34 For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.
Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.
Heb 12:15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;
Heb 12:16 that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.
Heb 13:1 Let love of the brethren continue.
Heb 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
Heb 13:3 Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.
Heb 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

the 22nd, 14th, and a stigma
the stigma (G4742) was an obsolete letter, between the 5th and 6th letters
these letters could be used as numbers
they add up to six hundred and sixty six
the meaning of this has been the basis of much vain speculation
1 alpha 10 iota 100 rho
2 beta 20 kappa 200 sigma
3 gamma 30 lambda 300 tau
4 delta 40 mu 400 upsilon
5 epsilon 50 nu 500 phi
6 *digamma 60 xi 600 chi
7 zeta 70 omicron 700 psi
8 eta 80 pi 800 omega
9 theta 90 *koppa 900 sampi
The digamma also became known as stigma.
To distinguish letters used as numbers from normal letters
a horizontal line was usually written above the letter
-numbers or sometimes just a tick mark.
Digamma looks like an "F". It fell out of use around -0400 -0200 BC.
Stigma looks like an "S".
